Blow, of Missouri. ■* Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, the Academy of Music , was fllied Uw* evening, on the occasion of the anniversary of the National Union Club. The stage and proscenium boxes were ele gantly adorned with the national colors, and tapes tried with a profusion of flags and streamers. The wet weather had not the slightest effeot upon the spirits of the audience. The enthusiasm was evi dent from the very first, and when Governor Ourtln appeared the applause was overwhelming. E. P King, Esq., president of the National Union Olubi called the meeting to order, and Governor Curtin was elected to preside. The reception of the Gover nor exceeded all bounds, and was a sufficient reason for the acknowledgment he made in the first sen tence of his speech. liADins and Gbntlemkn : I feel much honored by having been solicited to preside, and am by no means insensible to the flattering warmth of your reception. The members of the National Union Club have no reasonto be ashamed of the retrospect which they may taki of the past. The last few yean have been pregnant of national import ance. To the constancy and fidelity of this club the briliianoy of their succets haa been in' a ’measure due. I need not >efer in detail to those great event*. Although we have met with some reverses, jet our armies, on the whole, have been crowned with success. OurGovetnment in monger today than it was a year ago; it has a larger army than it had a year ago; its financial condition is better than it was a year ago. Our successes in the field, the de velopment oi our resources, our loyalty, have com pelled respeet from the civilized world. The call for fiye hundred thousand men is almost full. You, gentlemen of the club, would be unworthy to be called Pennsylvanians if you were not proud of what Pennsylvania has done, both at home and in the field. She has done so much that there will be no necessity for a draft. And when all the requirements of the Govern* ment have been met, let us continue to sustain it. Let us proteot the families of our soldiers; let the rich pour forth all their treasures; let all the good people of this State pray for a continuance of all those blesiicge of God Almighty which have been vouchsafed us hitherto. So shall they perform their duties as Pennsylvanians, and, similarly, so will you perform your duties as members of this associa tion. •We have to look to the future. Our Govern ment has for three years sustained the shocks of the greatest war in history. Two hundred and fifty thousand .men have gone down to death; million* have been expended, yet our Government stands strong and great* evincing to the world a model of self-government, which in cludes all those principles whereby true manhood may be sustained. I feel that I could not stand in the presence of so vast a multitude of loyal Penn sylvanians, and say less than! have. We are proud of our £tate because she has stood by the Govern ment, because she has given her people and her blood. In every department of the Government, in every army of the Republic, the name of Pennsylva nia is mentioned with overwhelming pride. When others falter and fail, the will not. [lmmense ap plause.] I believe I have never looked in the face of a traitor in Pennsylvania. I cannot fathom the depravity of that man’s heart who, when his coun try calls for him, would creep away into a dark cor ner, sighing for the return to national power of men who are fit denizens of perdition. Governor Curtin concluded amidst a whirlwind of applause. Wm. M. Bull, Esq, then read the following reso lutions, the delivery of which was frequently inter rupted by the wildest applause: At this, the first anniversary of the National Union Club of Philadelphia, we deem it proper to reaffirm the principles upon which our organization was established, and under which we will be guided ADd governed in the future ; therefore, Btsolved, That the present iufamout rebellion was commenced and Is still prosecuted without provocation and without reason. " _ . Resolved, That, as slavery was the cause, the destruc tion thereof must aad onafct to be the consequence of this nefarious attempt to destroy the proudest fabric of free government that human wisdom ever consum mated* Resolved. That whilstwe entertain a feeling of sympa thy for the deluded people of the Soutt, we demand that that justice shall be meted out to the leaders which will preclude the possibility of another such rebellion for ' Resolved That the demand for peace on any other terms than the conquest of the rebels in arms, and their subjugation to Ihe jaws, is treason of the most insidious and atrocious ctaracier, and calls for and receives our mosturqna ified condemnation and contempt Resolved, That we advocate such amendment to the Constitution ftft will forever esclua* ieyoltmmry servi tude. save for crime, m all the States and Territories of the Union. Resolved, That no man or Bet of men can secure our suffrages and- support who are not pledged to maiatain the oneness and indivisibility of the Union. Resolved, That the policy of President Lincoln and his Administration meets our entire sanction and approba tion . and commends itself to the approval of all true men, of whatever shade erpoHtical faiilL . Resolved, That we advocate and insist upon sack change in the organic law of Pemuylv&nla as will as* cure to the soldier of the Republic, in arms for his coun try. his right to the free exercise of the elective franchise wterever duty may place him, even though it be beyond the confines of his own State or neighborhood Resolved, That In Governor Andrew Q. Curtin we recognize the true statesman and pure patriot, whose devotion to the best interests of our state and nation has won for him a name which will stand high on the roll of our country’s patriots, and whose devotion to the welfare of those who have periled their dearest interests to eaye the nation’s life deserves the lasting gratitude of the people. PHILADELPHIA, Fa. The Hon. Hannibal Hamlin was then introduced! and spoke as follows: Mb. PBRSIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OP THE UNION Club : I have come here thin evening with no puc po,e of detaining you with a speech. I might ask why la it that I am here. Why is thle city rich In the history of the past, and ‘this State, which has contributed is every period or our country’s bietory to iti support and maintenance % Why la It that I am here! 1 ought to oome,to gather inspiration from your surroundings, and to apply the coal from the Area of your burning altara to my own lips. [Applause.] Who would not be proud to be a citizen of this noble Commonwealth 1 ! Who that lovea the past or the present; who that knows what Ihia noble and patriotio State has done, cannot feel that we have in'the old Keystone State a reliance against the forees of the rebellion! [ Ap plause.] Along the path of time there are periods that constitute epoohs in history. We are living in one of those periods. Let every true man thank his God that he lives to-day; that he Is permitted to participate in the consists that are raging around him either in the field or In other relations. 1 know that war, in some of Its sspeots, Is a calamity. I know Its horrors. I know the sorrow that it brings to the home and sooial hearthstone. But we know that there are blessings that shall spring out of it. The Union Club, and clubs of similar character, must stand connected with the present time as the great instrumentalities In producing a union In our community, and in aid ing the Government to resist the efforts that have been made to overthrow it and prostrate civil and religious liberty. [Applause ] The good of your organization will be long felt. You have enlisted the sympathies of good men of every party andevery religion. You have ereoted a standard of patriot ism that is superior to party. [Applause.] Ho who to-day would measure hr. duties to hia oountiy by the miserable standard of party associations Is haidly worthy to live in a Government like ours. [Applause] I conour with great cor diality in the patriotic resolutions you have adopted to-night. They speak truly what is to be done. I know that we have in almost every community a class of men who tell us we must have the Constitution as it is, and the Union as it wss. You and 1 know that that oaunot be. [Ap plause ] That declaration carries with it the idea that you are to receive hack the men whose hands are reeking with the blood of your fathers, and bro thels, and sons. It carries with it the idea that you are to re-establish the status of slavery. It presup poses that you are again to take into your eontldence the men who brought about this bloody war. It cannot be. After all that has been spent of treasure and blood, if we are to incite another war by bringing back, on terms of equality, the men who brought it about, we must hold tbat paity who would favor that project to a strict accountability. The tide of emancipation ia not to be rolled back, but rolled on. We are not to dose this war till the cause of it is removed. [Prolonged applause.] It IS not to be left to agsln corrupt the public heart. We are to stand upon a higher civilization than that transmitted to us from our fathers. We are to plant this Government on a basis of equality and freedom, which will in sure its perpetuity- The progress towards that end is rapid and sure. No man can tell when this re bellion Is to be conquered; but we do see the begin ning Of the end. It is narrowing down. But two elements have upheld it, and they are fast fading away. The hope of a division at the North has been one of the great causes that have buoyed them up. The North Is united for all practical purposes. [Applause.] It is united to prosecute this war to the end. One other oause has stimulated this wicked rebellion, and that is that the resources of the Government would not be contributed. And now, when the South sees Its failure lu this re spect, the rebellion mutt and will collapse. I have ' already uttered more words thaq was my purpose. I simply eame here to see what was the spirit which animated a Pennsylvania and a Philadelphia audi ence. I can go away, and say that the Executive, in Ms patriotic efforts to upHßld the Government, has only represented the spirit or Philadelphis. If other States and other people fall to do their duty, this anoient Commonwealth will stand like a wall of fire against rebellion, and in the vanguard of free dom forever. I will go home, and tell my friends there that the spirit which animates them finds a responsive throb in your hearts. We will swear by all the sacred duties that devolve upon us, by the VoicC roar comes UP from our. gallant i6Ci 6tt the battle-field; we will awear from these and every other consideration that we will preserve our free "Institutions, and place them upon a higher platform. [Applause.] Come what may, we will advocate Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever. SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1864. THRONGED. SPEECH OF GOVERNOR CURTIN. RESOLUTIONS. SPEECH OF HOST. HANNIBAL HAMLIN. Vice President Hamlin was succeeded by Hon, Henry T. Blow, of Missouri. SPEECH OP HON. HENRY T. BLOW. The speaker commenced with the remark that his mind had been kept too busy hitherto to allow him a fitting season to address so large ;n audience aa the one before him. He reverted to the invitation which had last Wednesday been extended iO him, and therefore deemed it a duty as well as a pleasure to speak before the National Union Club. He had come there not only to breathe the sweet fragrance ol Union-loving hearts, but also to speak of the pul sations of other hearts elsewhere. He did not feel it inconsistent to remind hia hearers of those who had nobly sustained the banner of freedom. Gettysburg needed in reality no monument, for her patriotic dead were forever embalmed in the hearts of the people. The people of hia State, I laced by circumstances in a situation where they could experience ell the horrors of civil war.Jhaye experienced those horrors to their utmost detail; The war wss a great contest of mere physical strength, against a struggle for human liberty. With the benefit or the slave alone could we expect a per manent restoration or peace and unity. Without Union and Freedom inscribed on our banners, and lu our hearts, we will' lose even the shadow of that Bepublio which Is our pride, and which is a pattern' for the world. The true loyal men of the bor der States feel, that without a free and united Government there is no safety, either for them selves -or that Government. The safety and per petuation of this Government are based upon emancipation. The good old city of Philadelphia etui cherished within her bosom Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was pro claimed, and held sacred the memory of him whose, genius controlled the eleetrlo fluid, and who wss not ashamed to become president of an Abolition so ciety. Years, now brightened with' aucsess, now - clouded with, adversity, have-passed since then. The spirit of the Revolution has been aroused to' our aid. Gall your aoeiety what you wUI, your greatest aim is to consecrate every foot of the American soil to freedom and humanity. Reverting to the German element in Pennsyl vania the speaker remarked that it was as Lrge io Missouri Also, and that it wa. rererved for this rebellion to eliolt the higher development! of the German character. Universal emanoioatlbn should be the watchword of thlc Republic. When the good old flag wave* again from ooean to oeean it will not be forgotten that St. Louie rooked the cradle of a new and-enduiing freedom, The speaker alluded to the eonfllet of opinion between thi »o called Oomeivatlvea and the Radicals. The Radi cal Union party of Missouri, he said, did not go any further than the Radical Union patty of Maryland, Tennessee, Louisiana) and, perhaps, Kentucky. The negro must be left just where he la until he and we agree in regard to his future. The Germans across the ocean were engaged to a struggle which, to some reepeets, might be mentioned along with the struggle on this side. The time had come when the corroding! of an element foreign to their spirit mutt cease. The triumph of the people over despotism was advancing. The speaker, to conclusion, alluded to several bills before Congress, and concluded hla particularly ornate and polished address, to which bis earnest delivery lent fresh oharm, amid unre strained applause. 'When Mr. Blow had concluded, Governor Ourtln Introduced Mr. Dunbar, of Washington, who sang, with great spirit and pathos, the well-known hymn: ' * Wo are coming, Father Abraham. Three hundred thousand mors. The rendition was received with unparalleled enthu siasm. The ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and the men threw up their Data in enthusiasm, as each verse concluded. The audience would not tolorate his going away without another demonstration of his vocal ability. He oame forward again, and was received with three oheers, followed by three more for “Father Abrahfun.” ~ _ . Mr. Dunbar then made a pleasant m>eeoh t endorsing the whole polioy of Mr. Lincoln, and expressing hi* gratitude to him for having brought the country so safely out of its direst troubles. He apologized foe speech-making, but he had just been “thro wed Inf’ [i&ughter] and he wanted to acquit himself Nhaadr somely. So he would again sing his ideas. He save, with renewed feeling, the popular ballad of=tM “Merrimao and Monitor,’* which was equally well* received with the other. • • . , The band next played “Rallyßound the Flag, Boys,’ 1 whioh wrought the enthusiasm of the audi ence to the highest pitch. / Hon. Amos Myers was the next speaker* SFBBCH OF HOW. -A RIOS MYBBB. Mr. Myers was- received with great applause, which having subsided, he apologized for making a speech at the late hour of the evening, and espe cially after the gentlemen who had been so well “ thrown in.” [Laughter.] He said he would make a speech ol head, rather than a speech with head in it. He adverted to the fact that the United States was represented in the meeting to-night in the person of the distinguished Vice President of our glorious Union. [Applause.] We had Penn sylvania in the person of that man whom the peo ple of Philadelphia and of the State have alwayß delighted to honor—the noble and patriotic Governor Curtin. [Cheers.] But, then, we had another State represented—yea, two States—in the person of that Representative who last spoke (the Hon* H.T. Blow), who in reality represents four States. He repre sents Virginia, because he was bom there; he.re presents Missouri, because he lives there, and is woiking for her political transformation from sl&veiy to freedom. '[Applause.] That suggests that be represents two other States. He repre sented the State of slavery onoe, and represents the State of freedom now—a man who, if Governor of Missouri, would blow up slavery higher than a kite. [Laughter and applause.] Mr. Myers proceeded to discusß the political issues of the day, the audience giving him the utmost attention, and showering their applause in great profusion. Since the time of Abraham, and the Abraham he meant was Sarah’s husband [laughter], there hod been two principles at woik in all governments, which were antagonistic to each other. He called the one the arißtooratioai and tyrannical, the other the republican and de-, mocratic. Those principles have grownup in our Government. They have grown, side by side, in this nation, culminating in our country in iB6O, at the Charleston Convention, where these two prin ciples were represented in the Democratic party; the Republican element manifesting itself in the Douglas delegates and the aristocratic ele ment in the Breckinridge delegates. They came together in deadly collision, and, unable to coaleae, they destroyed the Democratic party. After that, followed the great rebellion* I hear it somdttmes said that the Abolitionists are the cause of this re bellion. Who were the Abolltioniats, that they could have exercised such a potent authority as that for which they have been oreditedl How could Phillips and Garrison cause the rebellion, when they were not even permitted to preaoh their doctrines in any Southern State! They the cause of it! Why they sever oould tell the Southern man what they even thought about him and his cherished institu tion of slavery. The Southern traitors were de termined to orußh out the sentiment advocatedby the Abolitionists, whom they confined to their own Northern nostrums. They made the agitation; of slavery the pretext, for it was not the reason, for their treason. They raised their Southern club to strike at the fly that merely lighted upon the head of slavery, and the blow they struck knocked out the brains* of slavery itself. When the war first broke out, th 9 great masses of the people were united. Evea the sympathizer with treason was content to flow with the current of popular feeling. Soon, however, be raised his head, and the first stirrings of his heart were those of gloomy foreboding. He told ua that we never could conquer the enemy ; that the war wouid involve us in irretrievable ruin and infamy. The love of country oould not assert its sway in his unpatriotic breast. Party spirit claimed its sway, and was not altogether unsuccessful The first chance given to it was in the case of the collision byiCaptain Wilkes with a Britishsteamer. The sym pathizers augured the inter vention of foreign Po wers, and the consequent triumph of the Southern rebel lion. Thaukt to'the ability of QUiNational Admin istration, that huger was aveyeil. Secretary Seward banded over those two colored gentlemen, Mesne. Mason and Slidell, to their iiriti.h protectors, aad in thus doing be compelled John Ball to admit that in 1812 England wa» wrong. John Ball had to turn. a somersault, and on that Question he oama around to that American doctrine ol International law. Mr. M yet. took pleasure in reverting to these things, and, for eo doing, was asked the other day why be talked so much. He answered: because it pleated the friends of 'his country, and dipleaaed his enemies. Beside., it would cause his children to bless his memory when the headstone marks the Sace of earth covering his remains, [Applause ] b had no soft words for the enemies or nls country, and always was ready' to combat them, and chow them how unmanly it Is to lilt up the fratricidal hand against the flag of the Union. He adverted to the next cause of disaffection In the sympathizers’ racks, which was the emancipation proclamation of President Lihcoln, and while dismissing this subject, eloquently set forth the principles of the Constitution, aa applied ,to time, of pease and to times of war. The Constitution, he said, when peace [waa tinkling in the shepherd’s bell, and singing with the reapers, we never thought of its war muscles and its war powers; but when the red right hand of treason is raised, and loud-mouthed cannon echoed in rebellion, we aaw under the drape ry of our glorious flag the strong arm of Mara raised, and the President of the United States, as commander-in-chief, exercising the powers imposed upon him by the Constitution in time of war, deter mined to crush treason by all means in his power, and wherever it raised its bead. [ applause 1 President Lincoln did not do everything that we might have desired; though he did expunge a por tion ofCeneral Cameron’s annual report, and though he threw cold water for the while over the procla mation issued by the gallant Pathfinder of the West, yet I give way my private judgment to his better position, and I tel] you, Father Abraham, go on, the people willtus'ainyou. [Great applause and cheers.] It he has not always been as fast as some of us would like him to he, he has somehow or other got the people so fast to him that there is no way of hi. getting clear of them. [Laughter and applause ] Mr. Myers then rebuked In scathing terms the enemies of the Administration, and graphically por trayed Uieir future condemnation by the universal voice of the nation, how they would be despised by their own cbildien, and handed down, muoh against their own will, to the execration and odium of pos terity. __ A person living In Washington had Utile means of ascertaining the pulsations -of the people, bat this audience to-night had convinced him that the people know who ought to be their next President. As well might you attempt to stop the current of the Mississippi, or to roll back the Falla of Niagara, as to try that next impossible thing—the prevention of Abraham Lincoln becoming our next' President. [Long continued applause, and cheers for Lincoln.. ] The speaker interspersed his speech with numer* ous telling anecdotes, which elicited outbursts of applause. Mr. Myers retired amid much applause. The meeting, altogether, was a great success, upon which the National Union Club may well congratu late itself. POLITICAL. \— New Hampshire elects a United States Senator .for six years by her Legislature just chosen. Hon. John F. Hale, it is presumed, will be again a candi date, and Hon. Thomas M. Edivaids, of Keene, and Hon. Amos Tuck, of Exeter, are suggested as possi ble candidates for the post. Each of these, as well as Mr. Hale, has been a Representative in the State Legislature and in Congress. A Democratic meeting in Butler county, Ohio, adopted, last week, an amendment to some resolu tions, to the effect that “our delegates to the con vention be Instructed to vote for no candidate who is not opposed to the lUrther prosecution of the war, and to support Seymour, of Connecticut, or Val landigham, of Ohio, as the Democratic candidate for President!” f The Rochester Democrat calls attention to the significant fact that the “ Democratic ” State Con. vention at Albany adjourned without making the : allghteat reference to the principles which the party is to uphold. The fact is,-the leaders haven’t made up their minds whether to go for “abolition” or not, and they dare not let the people know their real .position with regard to the rebellion. The lowa'Kepubiican Convention adopted re solutions recommending the National Republican Convention to adopt the name of Republican Union, endorsing the aots of the Administration; also, in favor of an amendment to the Constitution forever pioftiMtißg slavery within the United states; and declaring Abraham Lincoln the first ohoice of the people of lowa for President, At the municipal eleotion in Portland, Maine, recently, the Union candidate foFMayor was elected by a majority of 1.130, being a gain alnae last year of 935.

I returned yesterday from a visit down the Cum berland Valley. Though nine months have elapsed since the last invasion struck terror Into the hearts of the people on the border, "wasted their property, or carried It ott; and, though Industry, energy, and agricultural skill are eminently the qualities o* those borderers, yet every where the marks of destrno' tion are observable. It is useless to say that the decimated harvests of last year, carefully as their lemnants were gathered, are soaroely sufficient to subsist the population until the "golden garner” Of the present year is filled. Indeed, owing to the im mense number of eattle and horseß killed or driven off. there were not a sufficient amount or plough teams to cultivate the soil and renew the planting ol previous yean upon the very extensive scale prevalent in that most fertile of Pennsylvania’s fertile valleys. The crops, however prolific, will fall short at the coming harvest, far short of the amount yielded iu former years, for the planting is short. Now, : theae people, having deeply suffered, come to the I-egislature of the State—a State into whose treasury for ninety years their taxes have poured profusely—and ask that the balance of the Common wealth may extend a helping hand to them until, by patient labor and skilled industry, they may, in the course of many years, attain their past state Of pros perity. They, unlike the other epuntiee further re moved from the line of the Potomac, have suffered far more deeply from invasion than from their legal and wUling donations for the general defenoe. The losses, in other words, sustained from invasion are tenfold greater than the amount voluntarily given, or given in accordance with law. Then, why should not the common mother, out of the fulness of her abundance, at lcaat partially reinvigorate these peopled WHAT THE IiOKDEK BUFFEBBD FUOM FBIBIiD AND But the losses of these people came not wholly from rebels, many of them, and of themost serious character, came from our own militia, who gallantly rushed to the defence of the frontier. Tens of thou sands of men were thus thrown upon a friendly country, full of reeources, it is true, aud they fait neither stint nor hesitation about appropriating whatever was neoessary to eat, or whatever was ne cessary to cook it with. The militia had little or no Government provisions, because they had no adequate transportation. Henoe, whilst the people gave them generously, they took still more gene rously. They encamped In extensive grass fields, tramping the grass Into the very earth; wheat fields were stripped of their sheaves to supply straw to sleep on ; whatever corn or food the Invading foe had lelt was utterly exhausted ; vast lines of fence were burned, because no adequate supply of wood could be obtained from any other source. New, under this double-headed source of deso lation, Is it any wonder these people, amidst much suffering, look to the State for aidt And it should not be denied. THE PROPOSED INDEMNITY. The aid so extended cannot reaoh millions, as has been alleged. The Constitution limits the-amount of debt which can be contracted to $160,000, save in oases of invasion or insurrection. The proposition is that the State shall issue her bonds, redeemable within a limited number of years, and not make a direct appropriation to defray suoh losses as may be ascertained,by a regularly constituted commis sion, to have been suffered by these borderers, GEN. STAHL’S CAVALEY CAMP. Whilst' lying over for a short time at Chambers burg, I took ocoasion to run over to the oamp of General Stahl, four miles out of town. I found there the 20th Pennsylvania Cavalry, under Colonel Wynkoop, late major in the gallant 7th Pennsyl vania, and the hero of many a skirmish and hand-to hand fight In Kentucky and Tennessee. More re cently he commanded the 20th in the six months’ service ; out of that organization sprang the present three years’ regiment. Colonel Boyd commands the 21st, also a six months’ organization, now obanged into a three years’ regiment. Colonel Boyd was originally senior captain in the Ist New York 'Cavalry, and by date of commission is the oldest captain In the United States volunteer cavalry service, for the Ist New Yoikwas the first volunteer cavalry regiment to take the field. Boyd was on detached service at Martlnsburg when Milroy was defeated. With his single company he brought off' in safety a large wagon train, which he conveyed to Harrisburg. Bui ing thd whole invasion of Lee, his company were actively engaged in scouting. He then obtained command of a six months’ organization. Boyd is a Philadelphian. Colonel Higgins L who commands the 221, saw service, in Mexico, under Scott; was a major iu the Ist Pennsylvania Cavalry, resigned; alter more than a yeai’s service; became colonel of a nine month’s regiment ol infantry; was at South Moun tain and Anlietam; was active'in organizing the rural militia cavalry during Lee’s invasion, and at last harreached the position of full colonel of a cavalry regiment. The regiments of Colonels Wynkoop and Boyd are full to repletion. Higgins has men enough to make five full companies, and to fill the gaps in the ranks of seven other companies now in West Virginia under Lieutenant Colonel Greenleaf. Theee seven have been along time in service, and are re-enlisted veterans. , There is not an officer in these regiments down to the rank of second lieutenant who has not seen extensive service. They, therefore, go into the field with better opportunities for sucoeis than any volunteer regiments yet organized.

THE MONEY MARKET. / Philadelphia, March llr 1864 Secretary Cha£e 1b preparing to issue the first series of the ten- forty bonds at five per cent, interest, payable in fold. Tbe lorg>continned ease in tbe money market would set-m to invite each a coarse, bat it is to be re membered that as the States grow, and as moans are provided for the development of ibelr internal resources, those States ought not to be made tco suddenly to pause' in their carter, or the “means whereby they lire n tco entirely denied thenL A community nursed into ex istence by the enterprire of several individuals requires a sustaining band. Should the individuals withdraw, and no others step in their places, the community suffers and decays. It is absolutely necessary that great up heaving* of internal strife should be met by the most powerful resistance, and la this country plenty of money means the ittore&s* of the power of the North through the stimulation of Industry and enterprise. Hence money in our day is power. It has made the North the most potent nation on the globe; It is increa sing her resources, her products, her population, and her means of defence and offence. By its means the South is hastening to its decay, and the triumph of the North, and the great principles of public liberty is as sured, The five per cent, legal-tender is one of the in struments that are carrying out the destinies of a great Bepublic, and the demands upon that .Republic, from opposite sources, requires a further supply of them. Suppose a few shares of stock are inflated in price; sup pose thy mass of tbe community,suffer because the neces saries of life are growing higher every day—this war is not foi all time, and the suffering and the inflation, will one day cc-ase. A few venturesoma spirits willba losers, but they wili have cause to congratulate themselves when they sse the reduced price'of commodities arjuud them.

Do the incredulous and the non-sympathizer sea nothing in tnis truth for which to thank the present eyeiem, which is directly the effect of increased capital represented by tfhe issue of Government notes? It be comes an important question whether or not this is not the true system to save countries from financial ruin? 'What was once done on credit is now on cash, and as many of the banks have been retiring circulation it was an absolute necessity, after the cri6iß that either, business was to be restricted or money manufactured to carry on the operations theretofore transacted on br&- dit; and it hdb only been that natural requirement* which Mr. Chase has supplied by his legal-tenders, bn* which the present war was the instrument of calling into existence.
