The , first refers to the rights of citizenship as connected with the wicked outrages at the recent elections in the southern states : No temporary or adminis trative interest of government, how ever urgent or weighty, will ever displace the:eal of our people in de fense of the primary rights of citi- zentihip. They understand that the .:protection -of liberty requires the maintenance in full vigor of the man- ly 4lettiodssof fre speech, free press free suffrage, and will sustain the full authority of 'government to en :( force the laws - which are framed to preserve these estimable blessings. The material progress and welfare of the States depend on the protec tion afforded_to their eitizens. There can be no peace without such pro teetioN and no_prosperity without peace." And this on finance "In the present financialoondition of the countrill am persuaded that the wel fare of legitimate business and in . dustry of every description will be promoted by abstaining from all at tempts to make radical charges in the existing financial 'legislation. Let it be understood that during the ' coming 'year the :business of the country will be undisturbed bygov erninental interference with the laws affecting it, and we may confidently expect a healthful and, enduring re ' vt4al of business." To which all clases of citizens ,v4O are not fools, knaves or deinagogves , will respond, "•ainen." . - THAT terrible onslaught upon the ational Banks doesn't start with much spontaniety. So high an au thority as VHORHEES is fTEHAIo eon feE•sthat little is likely to come of it. lie can't see how the Democratic party i's to be united in the attack when some-of its ablest leaders like BAYARD, KERNAH, B, , ANDOLPH and 'EATON are- strougly opposed to , it. Yoonur.r.s is despondent -about the future, and is even said to have no hope for 1880. The prevailing senti. ment of the Demodricy at present is in favor of keeping still until the effect of resump tion acl, esti be ascer tained. 'the common remark among Democratic Comgressmen is: "We can't effect anything this Winter, so what is the use of making a record whieh may be troublesome ?" That is the very thing that will keep all tlie fanatical agitators_ in Check. The Democrats see that they have a hard fight before them in 1880, and they don't propose to make it hard er by unnecessary and hopeless resis tance' to what is 'likely to prove a popular measure. It is extremely probable, therefore, that the Natfon al Banks, will be -allowed to survive for a abintlame longer at-least. - Irr!the sermon which DEAN STAN... LEV-preached at Westminster Abbey soon after his return froth this coun try he made some allusions to Amer ica. H e said:. "we [the English], could not throw off thbesponsibili ties which the past as Wp.ll as the nresentlad thrown upon! us. Our far-reaching lines of ancestry, and our wide-spreaqing dorn!nlons w ere . around us like the mountains stand ing aroand Jerusalem, It was said that even,the roar of Niagara had not the force which its volume of waters Would 'give to it, 'because there was no elevated country to catch and, reflect ,thelvaves of its sound. But it was additional responseibility of England that she does possess tliese reverberatory barriers._ Any note struek for mere party watchwords, any. foolish eceleidastical bickering, might injure our bretheren on the other side of the Atlaitic. Any pub- lic spirit of ours, !any movement for the relief or huminity, and any ef foyt, to be honest and truthful, tend , edto advance thoser distant settle- F. mirits . where others were watching 'us. '• They were looking to us for ex ample, of energy - and elevation such once came from us' to them. Farmore' to them than any flattery dr cerisure would be the exam of honest trade, of statesmanship, and ofi puie religious life and teaching, foil they look with respect and regard upon tbese shores ;from which they took their reluctant departure, •and which they stilt so dearly love." As Alabama correspondent of the Lancaster Intelligencer, (Dem.) gives this interesting and characteristic inci dent in the life of our popuiar Sena tor : _ By the way, let me tell you a story about Don. It is true, and will show that there was originally some good hi him. Don went to Princeton col lege; there were with him ' three young men, from the South. -1 -4' col .lege.friendship grew up between these four that was more lasting than such friendships usually are. When se cession came, the three Southerners joined the confederacy. One rose to be a general, one was attached to a foreign mission, and the other served as At the close of the war the attache did not have a covering for his head; the general was a bro ken merchant, anu the chaplain re turned home to find his church burnt down -and parishioners too poor; to rebuild. Don went to General Grant and as a personal favor obtained a lucrative poSition for the ex-confed erate attactip ;\he arranged the Gen eral's Wraith an started him again in business ; he \ raised, either froth his own means or \from his friends', $6,000, and rebuilt the . -parson's church, and then sent him cash mon ey enough to furnish his parsonage. Don Cameron did these 'good deeds without letting his Fight hand knew what his left hadd was doin'. I \ob tained this story from. a Pt>l ceton man, now a member .' of 'Con ress. He told it to me several years go, And I have no doubt that it is, su.. stantially true. Good may come out of. Nazareth, and a Cameron is not \ necessarily wholly bad.. So if you can put in a kind word for Don oc casionally, it will be appreciated by some of the old set who knew him " in days lang sync." • ' SEssamz.-:--The Putter 'Journal gives utterance to the foltowing truth ful and sensible thought in regard to supporting the party press There is honesiy\and intelligence enough in this county\to keep it Re publican, but the conscience and judg ment of the people must. ,appealed to by an increase in the krculation of Republican newspapers,\kn order to make the honesty effectual in building up the party of justice \ and equal ,rights. There are thre \. or four hundred citizens of Potter, with Republican proclkities, who take no Republican newspapers. Thtit \ is why the coalition carried the county at the last' _election., There is no reasto expect a better re sult next time, unless our friends will remove the douse of our defeat which is too many non-subscribers to Republican newspapets. A bad cause will flourish as well , without newspapers as with' them,' s hut a good cause requires a constant ap peal to the conscience and hetter, na tore of the' people in order to s in-. crease its strength. pet up a club of. Weekly Tribunes, or some other sound Republican newspaper, at every post office in this county now, and the gciod effect of this work will be very manifest te. the next election. A majority of seven in Potter county for a repudiating Candidate for Con gress has a bad look. It calls 'for instant action on the\ part of those who believe that " honesty is the, best policy all the atiairs of life.

WtiEN resumption takes place on the first of January the gold now held in reserve as well as the large amounts which are flowing intothe country from Europe, will become part of the .eireulating medium, and add so much to the volume of paper . currency. The balance of trade In the last three years has been in favor of the United States at an average rate of more than one hundred and siity millions a year. If a gold standard is established a large pro portion of this sum must be paid in gold. Its influx will create an in-. crease of the currency which ought to satisfy the most radical inflation ist; and it will all be .good money safe, no matter what Congress may do, or what may befell any political party. • If, on the other hand, the,' ilver coinage is continued until its volume displace gold and cstablishes a silver standard, the . United - States will simply become a convenient reservoir to receive the 'silver which the lead ing-nations of Europe have expelled from their coinage. Tun Walla-Walla Statesman ; is re .
