THE RATIONAL BANKS.
r
The National'banks pay a total tax of
from four to seven per cent. upon their cap
tal. This tax yielded last year an aggregate
of nearly twenty millions of dollars.
The National banks are At this moment
lending to the Federal government perma
nently four hundred and ninety millions of
dollars at three fourths of one plts ',cent. In
terest yearly. -
The National banks are paying five and a
half millions into the Federal treasury as a
bonus for the privilege of circulating their
own notes. x,
The Democracy propose td - abolifsh - this
state of things. By 'poking war upon the
banks, by increasing their taxes they would
tax them out of existence. The, very
i -
highest financial authority . predicts
that they would wind up and either
reorgnize under State laws, do bu
siness as private bankers, or put their
money in d other employments.. Discounts
Iwould be suspexded,
accommodations
would cease and commercial and popular
distress wold follow. And all this il l what
the DeruOcracy intend to accomplish by
their plausible proposition to substitute non
interesthtaring, notes , for, the $350,000,000
of iuteres bearibg bonds at present held in
the TreasiFy as security for the i National
Bank circulation. In fact, the country
would not save a dollar, but would lose all
of the present taxation, except what it
might afterwards reach in I the private in
comes of the bankers, and it would no
longer have the use of the
! 490,000,000 for
less than one per cent annual interest.
When a Democratic orator tells you that
the people are paying to the bankia bonus
of sixteen millions of dollars which might
be saved, tell him that this fact is otherwise;
that the banks are themselves paying to the
people five and a half millions, as a bonus
out, of pocket, for the privilege of circula
tion and that he would do well to post him
self up before undertaking the responsibility
of political or financial instruction.
The truth is that this Democratic scheme
to save the eighteen millions of interest on the
bonds deposited by the banks, while must
result, as above shown and can be proved,
Ina loss instead of a gain to the Treasury, Is
only one plank in their infamous design to
repudiate the bonded debt of the nation. They
hate it, because it Is a debt incurred in the
defence of the Union, and to maintain the
integrity of the Federal power. How tray
a high financial officer under President
Johnson has described this Democratic
scheme, and what an eloquent tribute he
pays to the simple and sturdy honesty of
the American people ! Read
"The eiTortlseeinkto have been to land out how the
Government can avoid meeting its obligations ac •
cording to their tenor. IA is out auggested tnat ate

deu educes as a nation. by ;nine quibble or sophistry
toiustify action that would not be tolerated as be
tween honorable men. The American people have
- not peen aceust,mrd to the burdens of a public
debt, and are n- cur Ily restless under heavy taxa,.
Mon Tory are not practiced In toe study of Mtge
clai problems, and may. wr a time, be misled by tne
subt Mies luvolved in this easy method of paying

Lot knowlugly.. aid and abet any scheme that would
tarnish the na• tonal credit. They realize. PerhaPs,
more fully than professed linen lers, the vital Im
portance of aetl g up to the highest standard or
national good faith."
,Democueric newspapers bewilder their
readers, and Democratic politicians, great
and small, especially the latter, talk them
selves hoarse about greenbacks, bonds and
taxation. It is not one in a hundred of
these gentlemen who tinderstaiida what he
is talking, about, and any effort to follow the
line of what they facetiously style their ar
guments reveals the excruciating absurdities
and contradictions into which they ignor
antly and recklessly plunge. They denyor
forget the facts, trample upon logic, abuse
common sense, and utterly ignore the axis
of the faintest trace, of honesty or
Atir-diallng in the popular, heart. Their
take the people - to be either-So foolish and
ignorantas to be" headily:imposed upon by
their superficial and fallacious assertions, or
so knavish as, to concur with these' advo
cates of repudiation in propositions which
simply means the robbery 'of the public
creditor. We are rather gratified to believe
that the people.have the capacity to under:
stand, and the honesty to reject, all these
suggestions of a diShonest partizanship. It
would perhaps touch a sense of shame, in
these petty larceny politicians, were they to
know that, in their audiences,there are doz
ens, scores or hundreds - of calm, quiet, at
tentive listeners, whose only curiosity is to
know how completely a =Democratic cham
pion of the repudiation of public obliga
tions, is exposing to the world his own mo
nd unfitness for any private or professional
trdst. There are not a Sew in every such
audience,who think it possible to be Demo
crats end still to be honest and honorable in
all their dealings, public and private, who,
far from being convinced by the speitker,
aro quietly taking the measure of lig per
sonal integrity.

SUMMER RESORT-STONJEIIORO.
(Correspondence Pittsburgh Gasette
In my last I essayed some account of
this incipient village, its fine hotel, with its
obliging and attentive host and hostess, its
tranquil and beautiful lake, its • ntinerak„
springs, shady ; groves, aquatic sports, cool
nights, salubrious air, pleasant drives, con
tiguous towns with delightful rural inter
vals, picturesque scenery, &c., and pursuant
to promise proceed to conclude the record
of my . visit by an account, necessarily
brief, of the personal of some of the many
whose visit, like my own, was to find rest
• .
and recuperation. • I -
There were from Pittsburgh, besides my
self and immediate-party, Messrs. T. and
M. A. -Wray and Miss Sallie Wray, (these
were migratory, and after a brief stay pro
ceeded to other haunts,) Col. Alex. Blake
ley, (also a bird of passage,) Messrs. John
Crinnean, It. Deakers, J. It. Weldon and
T. J. Augustine, (these were the deci
pies, par excellence, of Izaak Walton:,
Hon. Wilson McCandless, with his lady
and daughter, were among the transients.
The Judge was greatly admired, as he al
*ways is. The guests unanimously regretted
that other engagements prevented the
Judge's family, and the friends from Frank
lin who accompanied them, from prolong
ing their stay beyond a single day. From
Chicago Mr. Briggs and the Misses Minis,
and Susie King made a brief stay. From
Cincinnati Mr. and Mrs. Johnson withlfiss
Findlay were among those we regretted to
leave behind us. The Hon. John Trunkey,
of the Mercer Judicial District, held
court. in chambers among us for a single
day. He is esteemed in the district as an
able and impartial Judge, and we found
him a pattern of an intelligent, sauve and
dignified gentleman. From New Castle, a
party consisting of Mr. T. W. Phillips Mr.
John Brown and lady, Captain D. C. Irish
and sister and Miss Jack, spent several days,
• engaging vigorously and constantly in the
various pastimes of Stoneboro. They made
pleasant impressions on all who met them.
Mr. A. P ..Whitaker, editor of the Venan
go
Sputa for—a green spot , in the sterile
waste of Democratic journalism, and Col.
• James Bleakley, banker of Franklin and
pro_prietor of the Lake House and grounds
at Stoneboro, and who seems resolved by
liberal outlays to make the place from year
to year still more attractive; also Messrs.
Hoover, Cooper, Brigham, McDowell and
other gentlemen from Franklin,. Mercer,
etc., from time to tine enlivened society at
the Lake House. No one of them all will
deem it any disparagement if I accord to
Mr. A. P. Whitaker the plane of Chief. I
have rarely met one so versatile and rich in
('resources of pleasant companionship. His
manner is rather quiet and sedate than
sprightly or gay. but he is an encyclopedia
of wit, jokes and humorous narrative. He
seems in addition to his own bon meta to
have heard or read, and to remember
and readily quote everything in the
vocabulary of fun. In his manner of serv

Blair's Democracy Nine Years Ago.
On the third of February, 1859, Francis
P. Blair, Jr., now Democratic candidate for
the Vice Presidency, went to Concord, N.
H., and made a speech in advocacy of the
re-election to Congress of Hon. Mason W.
Tappan. That speech was reported and
published. Here are a few extracts:
'WHAT BLAIR TROIIGHT OF. SLAVERY
I believe that a avery•should be restricted
to kits present limits, and that Congress
should do all which lies in its power to pre
vent the perpetuation of this evil. I know
that Congress has 'no power to interfere
with it where it at present exists within the
the States; and yet I doubt not that when
the' Republican party takes possession of.
the General Government, and the corrupt
ing patronage of the Administration is
diverted frodi ifs present channels, we shall
be able to show the little oligarchy of slave
holders some things of which they little
dream, even within the States.
WHAT lIE THOUGHT OF THE DEMOCP.ATIC
BEM
The Democratic party of the present day
is democratic in name, and nothing else.
When they haVe made an old black cockade
Federalist President and are found hand in
glove with Caleb Cushing, and Rufus Choate,
and Robert C. Winthrop, a man who is
numbered with them, but who has a single
drop of pure old-fashioned Jeffersonian blond
in his veins may well blush for, shame.
THE FATHER OF DEMOCRACY.
But who was the father of the present
Democratic party ? A man whom, if he
had persisted in his course three hours
longer, Old Hickory would have hung on
the nearest tree in Washington. It was
John C. Calhoun. You will recollect that
the Senate and House were both strongly
Democratic when he brought forth the res
olutions in the Senate declaring slavery pro
tected in the Territories by the Constitution
of the United States. Yon know then he
was booted out of a Democratic Senate.
But those who were then so reluctant to
sanction this principle, have manipulated
until they have fallen in. The old Jeffer
son and Jackson principles have been aban
doned, and that man who did not escape the
rope by three hours, is the author of all to
which the Democratic party of the present
day subscribes.
The Southern Democrats' Policy.
A citizen of Tennessee, writing to an in
fluential friend in Washington, says that
the Rebel Generals who recently met in
Nashville are the real leaders of the Ku-
Klux-Klan, and that after establishing a
reign of terror in Tennessee their ulterior
object is to force the negr, oes of the Gulf
States to vote the Seymour and Blair ticket.
Under these men's counsels the:landholders
in Tennessee, as well as in Mississippi, are
generally threatening that they will not em
ploy colored men who favor the Republican
ticket. The writer adds that "unless some
thorough and decided action is taken to vin
dicate the rights and privileges of the blaeks,
Tennessee must surely-be lost."
DEMOCRATIC MOTTO FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
—"Let us not employ, in the future, any
one, white or black, who gives his aid to
the Republican party."— Wade Hampton.,

Many persons, supposing they are suffering from
ibis disease, have applied Liniments, Plasters and
other Rheumatic Remedies• without obtaining, any

with Its functions are indicated by pain in the bask
and loins, languor and weakness, difficulty in avoid.
