THE IMPERATIVE DUTY OF CONGRESS. ..u.ulastur of the expulsion of Lung is settled by the House of Representatives, it : is to be hoped that the members will instantly take up the financial questions now pending, and take prompt action in reference to taxation and the currency. Gold is going up to a most unreasonable rate, and the necessaries of life are sympathizing with its advance. No tem porary expedient can alter this condition of things, as we have-seen in the case of the Gold bill and the Gold certificates of Secretary Chase. The Government must have, without delay, a tax bill which will yield revenue enough to pay every dollar of interest on the National debt, and every hour of hesitation on the part of Congress, in the passage of such an act, is a crime against the country. 17p to this time the people have sustained the credit of the Republic with marvellous fidelity, but it is criminal in our Representatives to neglect any means which will lighten the popular burden and strengthen the arm of the Government. In the case of Long some thirty-six speeches have been made, equally divided between the Unionists and the Opposition, and it is now time for the House to attend to its overwhelm ingly important duties in regard to the present financial erisis. Further inattention to this great question will be sternly reprobated by every loyal citizen. Let our representatives take warning. NATIONAL EDUCATION. The Boston Peet finds fault with certain re marks that appeared recently in the BULLETIN in favor of an established system of national educationOnstead of the separate systems of the several States. Its chief objection is that the plan cchas no foundation in the constitu tional theory of the Government." It adds that "by that theory education is a local, State interest, not a national Federal establishment." This is rather an arbitrary assumption than an established principle. If the national govern ment is constitutionally prohibited, either in theory or in fact, from touching upon educa tion, how is it that there have been so many grants of land by Congress to the States for educational piirposes ? And how is it that there have been so many other acts of legisla tion by Congress, indirectly affecting public education? The Post goes on to say : “This national _ - - - - - scheme is in entire derogation of the American system of government, and could never have been broached by any man who had any knowledge of the constitutional compact or any intention to keep true to its plans. A radical revolutionist might well see its consistency with the general plan of radical revolution." This is another cool assumption, which, like all attempts of the Democratic organs to resist salutary reforms, has no truth or sound argument for a basis. The old cry of cc radicalism" has ceased to be the bug-bear that it- used to be. The " Conservatives," since they have proved willing to sacrifice the Union for the sake of conserving slavery, are recognized by the peo ple as, in fact, destructives. The people, in cluding a great portion of the party to which the Pas( belongs, have become abolitionists, becausis they are Unionists, and intend to con serve the Union by destroying slavery. If there is a 4 cradical revolution" going on in - respect to slavery, it has been forced upon us, and the radicalism will prove to be, in the end, the truest conservatism. So in respect to edu / cation. The slave states refused to educate their people, because it was part of the system of preserving "slavery to keep a large class of poor whites in ignorance.. If, by the national authority, these people can be educated, it may-be called a radical revolution, but it will be a beneficent one. In all cases of established evils, radical revolutions are necessary. - The epithet radical has ceased to'be odious or alarm ing, since it has become necessary to be radical to save the country. And if, in order that the people of all the States may receive equal edu cational advantages, a radical reform is needed, why the sooner it comes the better. GOLD CERTIFICATES IN NEW YORK Wall street is the great fountain head of the told gambling which is weakening the credit of the government, embarrasing trade and putting up prices _at such a frightful rate. If the system was crippled there, it would halt and limp elsewhere, and gold and greenbacks would approach nearer to their relative value every where. The issuing of gold certificates was intended to remedy this evil; but New York sharpers turn this to their own account, and they huckster and gamble in the very system devised to prevent their inordinate and illegi mate pursuit of pelf. A New York correpondent of a morning co temporary gives the following description of bow the thing is done : 'The scenes at the Sub-Treasury office to-day, as for some days past, have been disgraceful in the extreme. A crowd of speculators, anxious to profit by the necessities of the merchants and the Government, have taken possession of the pass age-way leading to the desk where the gold certi ficates are delivered for the payment of customs. These shysters are ostensibly applicants for certi ficates, but they are there in queue, simply to com pel Wimple applicants to give them a bonus for their turn in the line. Many an importer, anx ious to save time (which is money), has submitted to the imposture, and the submission has but had the effect to increase the impostors. The whole thing is become so insufferable a nuisance, that the police were instructed this morning to admit no person within the door leading to the passage way who could not prove that he was there on le gitimate business. This precaution has served to diminish the evil, but not to cure it entirely, for the artful dodgers in many cases have managed to deceive the police by presenting bogus applica tions, or by shaking greenbacks in their faces,said greenbacks being considered presumptive proof of the holder's intention to purchase gold certificates. In some cases 820, Vl5, and even as high as $5O has been paid by the importers to these scamps for a place near the window, and hence the 'dodge' is become almost as profitable, If not interfered with, as dabbling in stocks. ' , The throng of legitimate purchasers, even with out these interlopers, is inconveniently great. There could not have een fewer than six hundred 'waiting their turn,' between 12 and 1 o' and in the general anxiety, therefore, it is not to be wondered at that collisions with the police were unpleasantly frequent. The whole scene, indeed, was one, the like of whi ch has never before been witneesed in New York." FIAN OS. PIANOS. ; LD, and Chestnut. The remedy for this is very simple. Let the certificates be sold inPhiladelphia, and in other great business centres, and with proper regula tions and precautions the objects of the gov ernment can be attained and the people pro tected from Gothiunite greed and extortion. The people of Harrisburg are showing a craven spirit in the mode by which they are opposing the removal of the seat of govern ment to Philadelphia. They pretend to think that it will be ruinous to the prosperity of their city. As if the furnaces, factories and machine shops; the railroads and canals; the fine stir rounding agricultural country; the coal, lumber and other trades, which are the 'chief pro moters of the nynaneritv _ar Fiarriahare.. had anything to do with the seat of government. The journals of that city 'insult the intelligence, the energy and the enteprise of the citizens, when they say that without , the state govern ment establisged among them, their material wealth would decline. The people and journaleof Harrisburg make a further mistake in claiming for their city a superior amount of morality, virtue and patriot ism. 'We shall not enter into this question, or we might lift the curtain and make exposures which would not be very grateful to the Harris burgers. But without claiming that Philadel phia is a place of especially pure morals, we can safely challenge a comparison with Harris.. burg, which, for its size, has attained to a rare eminence in that respect. After all, the main point to be considered is the interest of the people and the State, and we believe that it will be greatly promoted by the removal of the seat of government to Philadelphia.

The sum re paired not being large in. the ratio of the good to be accomplished, the Committee feel sanguine than when and where their wants are known, their re quirements will meet with a liberal and ready response; we ask the reflection of a donor in giving his mite, how little he yields in comparison wits the fond parent who gives his only son to his country's cause; and he who goes abandoning the home of all his past joys and Intnre hope. To the Committee this last appeal would appear irresis tible. BENJAMIN ETTING, CHAIRMAN OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. • PH .HLPHIaI, April 13th. 1E64. apl4-34 - - - - - - - - - - - Black Alpacas.
