UMe apportionment bill adopted in
Opublioan caucus is a shaMsfutiiolation

common honesty. There seems-to have
been but . one object in view :.ti see ha*
a fraud could be perpetrated, and so
infamous. is the swindle that with a tiein

The bill is disgraceful, and its pas

Repudiation in Pennsylvania.
A correspondent of the Pittsburg 'Gai
ette, abolition, writing upon the subject,
lases the following language :
"Notwithstanding a solemn contract
between the State of Pennsylvania and her
creditors, by chitfi the interest on_the
State loans was to paid in gold - orlts
equivalent, our legislators have tiasitedn
bill to repudiate that contract, and pay the
future interest upon the bonds m legal
tender notes. This is the second act of re•
padiation by Pennsylvania.. The present
generation, likely, has forgotten_the first
lapse of virtue, and the - wincing of every
honest citizen, when the sarcas tic pen of
the Rev. Sidney . Sinith branded with infa
my tile' refusal of the State to pay its in
terest, in money. Bat an indignant people,
'scorning to be held in the world's pillory,
.made the amende honorable, and passed:
the act of June, 1840, which appropriated
sufficient money to reimburse the bond,-
holders for the differen in value be
t.wn specie and suspend bank curren
cy, and then declared by resolution, "that
hereafter - the interest falling due on Penn
syliania stocks shall always bepaid in spe
cie or its equivalent." Upon this pledge
or -guaranty of the State, the existing
loans were made, and moatly at the low
rate of five per cent interest. Dien act
upon the expectation, when they lend
their money, that public faith once pledged
will not be broken ; and, if no confidence
could be placed in public assurances, Laws
would never be respected, and society
would end. The . State got the principle
of:the loatii in specikaitelpledged herself
to pay -the interest in specie,"
Gov. Seymour vs. Ib3puituttimi.
A message was sent to the Legislature
at Albany on the 22d, remonstratm . gag'st
the proposed non-payment of the Interest
on the state debt in gold; He takes the
ground that it would be inconsistent with
honesty, and if the state fails to pay, it
will suffer lasting shame, and in a pecuni
ary point of view will lose much more in
its negotiations for new loatiithan it will
save o&the interest, , and that' it sill tend
to weaken, if not destroy,
,the credit of
the general government in , Foreign mar
kets..,;-Sennd doctrine.
—Wm. Lloyd Garrison, the opting' of
the words qtroted hereunder,in 1856, has
not changed his mind on that subject,and
is now in favor of the reElection of Abem
L'neolo :

ently unfit to ho-v"eda. We - have p l ayer
been able to-discern iu him - a single get&
tyin. any. manner fitting bim to be Presi
dent of the United States, at any time.—
We have found'in him no - qualit,y not em
inently unfitting him for his high °Moe.—
As to his administration, its extravagance
`hiiibeen appalling, its expenditures enor
mous and little to ehow for them. During
four years it will have run up -a national
debt greater than that of Great Britain,
and equal to one-third of the assessed
value of the whole Union. And no small
portion of this BUM has been literally
wasted." -
-Row the Rebellion is abetted—The
Gold at 175, and
.Congress, with tax
bills, bank bills, every financial measure,
lifeless and shapeless, engaged in putting
diftwn - freedoni,of debate in the national
Capitol!' In the name of loyal people we
protest. It is'a disgrace and an outrage.
We tell these men at Washington that
passion is making them made It is an ab
solute infatuation that has seized them.—
Their words strike upon the ears of the
people like the gibberish of Bedlam.—
Where have the senses of Congressmen
gone that they don't realize the terrible
burdens that rest upon the people,and the
fearful dangers that confront thegovern
meat Y Do they call themselves lord
men and yet play these fantastic tricks ?
By their default the 'prices of everything
that sustain life are advancing - myndly.—
The currency is gradually turning, into
worthless . rags. Inch by inch, foot by
foot, the 'Government moves on straight
before the eyes of its guardians, towards
the bottomless pitof bankruptcy—yet dis
tant, but unless they net , inefeiestiela
air min au tifey - ra zu - save It. -If they
had bat done the duty-they were put to
do, the credit of the government would
still be resting on its old foundatiotns.—
They lave neither done it, nor made any
rational effort to do it. It, is not misfor
tune, but guilt, that rests upon them; not
failure, simply, but faithlessness.
It is astonishing, it is astounding, that
the House, after this long and flagrant neg
lect of duty, should turn upon one of its
members in this fierce fashion, for encour
aging the enemy by word,s—by words
which were made of air, And which, if
they had been let alone, would have van
ished into air. It is the wildness of the
fireman who stands Motionless while the
flames are gathering , headway, and falls
foul of the man who declares that the fire
will not be subdued. It is the inaction of
these so-called loyal servants of the peo
ple that is aiding-the rebellion ten thous
and timeb more than the so-called disloy
al malcontents of the House. Not words,
but acts, are to decide this war. Unfaith
fulness in respect to the former shrinks
cite insignificance ' • it is absolutely noth
ing, when measured against that other un
faithfulness in act, of which the House is
every day making itself guilty.—.Y. Y.
