TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1864.
Meeting of the County Commit-
QM
The County Committee will meet on FB13:41"
evening next, April 22, 1864, at seven o'clock,
at the offlee - of H. C. Alleman, Esq., for the
purpose of selecting delegates to represent
this county in the next State Convention, and
transact such other business as may be brought
before them. H. THOMAS, Chairman.
The Contradictions of our Philadelphia
Cotemporaries on the Capital Removal
Qoaestion. •
In their hot haste to remove the machinery
of the State Government to some of the pur
lieus of the Quaker city, our Philadelphia co
temporaries have forgotten all about the na
tional navy yard at League Island. The Even
ing Bulletin seems to have been selected to do
the dirty work in this business, by persuading
the Philadelphia delegation, first, to engage
in this most monstrous outrage on the rights
and interests of the people of the rural dis
tricts; and second, in maligning that same
delegation, for acts which.that -journal, in its
superior wisdom, regards as illegal and- cor
rupt. In one paragraph the Bulletin seeks to
cajole the Philadelphia delegation into the
moat hasty action for removal; and then, in
another article, that sheet endeavors to make
amends for the wrong which it advocates, by
assuring the State at large that a. removal of
the capital to Philadelphia would at least se ,
cure a more respectable class of represent
tives from that county. What are we to under
stand from this? Are we to believe that such
sheets as the Bulletin wiiiked at the election of
the bad men whom it now alleges represent
Philadelphia, purposely to carry out the wrong
of removal? There is a contradiction about
the course of the Bulletin, which renders its
position on the removal question absolutely
ridiculous; and if anything ever was calcu
lated to excite the disgust of the representa
tives of the Legislature, it should be the man
ner in which the Bulletin treats its own dele
gation in that body.
We have no threats to make on this subject.
What we seek to defend is a plain and simple
right. What those engaged in agitating
the subject of removal are after, is the perpe
tration of a most wicked wrong. Hence the
fallacies resorted to, and the, haste sought to
be adopted in removing the capital. The
people nowhere have been consulted on the
subject. The whole scheme is one of specu
lation and fraud, concocted for individual - ag
grandizement. If it is persisted in, it - will
assuredly create precedents that must damage
its authors politically. And if the.mass of the
mercantile and commercial men of Philadel-
Ada will permit their representatives thus to
engage in plans for the disgrace of the State,
the people of the State at large will hold them
responsible for the injury, and retaliate when
ever time and occasion afford them the op
portunity.
A Uniform Currency
Congress and the people are constantly di
rooting their attention to the subject of a uni
form currency. It is admitted on all sides
that the circulation of what are called "coun
try banks," is at best an uncertain medium
of bueiness, by whph the poor man has
been shamefully robbed heretofore, and
through Which he will continue to be shitved,
until a uniform currency is established for the
whole country. Besides the enormous profits
now paid on the necessaries of life, every
country store-keeper makes it a point to
charge the difference on discount between the
money he receives at home and that which he
pays in the city. If we -had a uniform cur
atop this shave would be avoided; * but as
long as we tolerate the paper which is now
afloat, the value of which is dubiously recog—
nized beyond the shadow of the bankissuing
it, these impositions will be accumulated to
the disadvantage of the people. This uni—
formity of currency, however, can only be
reached by levying a national tax on the issues
of all State banks. Congress has no:power to
forbid the:issue of bills of credit, but it has
the right to impose a tax on the exercise of
such a privilege. By levying such a tax, the
currency would become improved, by first
driving out of recognition all bills of banks
solely depending upon their circulation for
profits,and by substituting the national curren
cy in every part of the country. This •substitu.
tion would protect the working man and the
-meehanic from the numerous petty shaves to
which they are subjected; it would create an ad
ditional revenue for the 'Government and
greatly strengthen its credit. It was wrong
in the first place to permit the States to as
sume the power which they now. exercise on
the currency. That power grew out of the
fallacies of the Democratic leaders, as they
were advecated years ago, doubtless with the
view to create dangerous contingencies in a
crisis such as the nation is now involved.—
Experience has taught us that there should be
only one money -making power in the land.
The faith of the Government in such matters
should surely be worth more than the credit
of a few individuals, associated for the pur
purpose of self-enrichment. To regain_ its
full control over the currency, the National
Government will be sustained by the voice of
the people, in heavily taxing the issues of all
State banks. And when all money -making
powers are concentrated in one authority, in..
stead of hei3tg detailed to many States, the
credit of the whole countrywill be more firmly
based than 'ever itwas before, the confidence
of the people will be greater in the-currency
afforded them for the transaction of their busi
ness; while the speculators who now disgrace
the age and grind the faces of the poor, will
be themselves disgraced and ccpriletely.finsk
The National Debt
The Cincinnati Daily Times completely
unmasks the efforts of the peace Democracy,
for the purpose of depreciating the national
credit on the score that the public debt is now
so large that it can 'never be liquidated, if the
interest on it can even be paid. Completely
to answer their efforts at depreciation, it is
only necessary to refer to the totals as.eXhibi
ted in the official statements of the Treasury
Department, of March 16th, 1861. From this
this we learn that the immediate liabilities
are $95,270,246 05. Added to this is the old
public debt of $67,417,417_55. The. grand
total is $1,596,999,429 33. Of this there were:
Three year 7 3-10 bonds 8138,063,800 00
U. S. Legal. - .Tender5......... 449,073,616 60.
Fractional Currency_ . 69,173,320 15
20 yenrs' loan of !;61 ... 50,014000 , 00
6 percent. 5-20 80/ids!. .. 510,740,100 po
Of the Ten-FoitY bonds there has been is
sued, up to the present time, twelve million
dollars. Truly formidable as these figures
may seem, they dwindle away, comparatively,
when we take into consideration the great
contest in which a large proportion of the
sum has been expended. Not a single.dol-
lar has been borrowed from foreign poten
tate or poWer, and to-day the issues of the
Government , have he abiding confidence of
the people. Yet the Democratic opposers to the
war tell us that the day Of reckoning will come,
and we admit it, while we firmly hope that
its advent will, be amid the
restored peace and
prosperity of the country. If the people have
submitted calmly to the direct taxation im
posed on them through the, agency of the
internal revenue, when ai.l immediate, I:te.'ce.s':•
sity for large sums was apparent, they will
not repudiate their indebtedness when the
unrestrained tide of commerce - shall again
flow through its usual channels and they can
accommodate themselves more conveniently
to the pressure. An export duty, heretofore
unknown in our history, "levied upon articles
which must
,be supplied to" foreign nations,
and which we,. as an. agricultural country can
Well furnish, would only be following in the
footsteps of those governments older in years
and better versed than ourselves in the prov
ince of political economy. What its result.
might be can only be gleaned from the past.
During the eight years previous to 1856 the
exports from this country, on articles of pre-,
dace mostly, amounted to sixteen hnndred
millions of dollars, of which cotton alone was
shipped amounting to nearly seven hundred
and fifty millions.
• The very indebtedness now apparently so
heavy. may have the effect to develop more
fully , the resources of our wonderful country,
and cause us to be less lavish of wealth which
has been ruthlessly squandered in the past,
And this, too, with no discomfort to ourselves
as a people. A tariff for revenue, the encour
agement of foreign imniigration, by which the
millions of acres of uncultivated land shall be
made productive, and a score of other results,
which will follow the re-establishment of the
Union, will • again enable us to rid the coun
try of its indebtedness and win back for it the
title it has worn so long as 'the refuge,of the
oppresses and the home of the free.

The Senate Military Committee have re

In order to correct erroneous. impressions,
it'is proper to state that the President's order,
of March last, requires that the amounts of
mon raised by voluntary enlistments be made
up to Aprills, and the draft b,e. made as soon
thereafter as practieable. .Ifo arithority is
given.for the assertion thatit will take place
on the Ist of May. Tbere _are' more or loss

she House coneuried'in the Senate amend
went. to the Haase resolution, so as to read
that the Comniittee on the Conduct of the
War shall inquire - into the truth of the rumors
attenclingitlie recent attack on Port Pillow=
whether that fort could not have been suffi
ciently reinforced, and report the fact 4 as soon
as possible.
The House.then-went into committee'of the
whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Wash
burn in the chair,) and proceeded to the
'consideration of the internal;tax bill. . .
' Mr.. Morrell (Vt.) explained the proviiions
of measure. The war having continued
longer than was anticipated, it was now neces
sary to revise our estimates so as to cover all
deficieneles. The demands upon the Trea
sury are unprecedented, but our resources are
equal to any emergency, good or bad.
The'receipts froin this bill and from.foreign,
importatiOn Will, deduCting 'the" ordinary ex
penses of a hundred millions annually, be
much greater than would pay the interest on
tho debt Of three thousand millions, with a
most I . 4peetable sinking flindk besiires if we
'pass this bill it ‘vi,ll show that we will main
oip. our .fipancial l credit at all doe. • ;
Wo have 13n4er the present law received'
forty or fifty millions more than last year.
Even now the revenue from the internal tax,
as well as that anticipated, is more important
to the treasury than the revenue from imports,
and both arc equal to any ordinary expenditure
in time of peace. If we pass this measure
without curtailing the rater, we shall furnish
proof that we cannot only pay the interest on
the public debt and ordinary expenditures in
time of war, but shall contribute handsomely
to keep our own expenditures within mod
erate limits.
NEW YouE, April 19
We shall show the people of the United
States that we not only have the means to pay
every dollar we owe, or ever will owe, but the
principal and interest of the public debt in
coin. He repeated that the public faith will
be maintained at all hazards. The Govern
ment is now supplied with more gold than is
suffieient for its purposes, and is actually
begging its creditors to receive payment in ad
vance in order to be relieved from the plethora
of gold which is blocking up the commerce of
the country. Let it be known that if the war
be closed in 1865, we will be able not only to
support the Government, but pay the national
debt in a little more than ten years. Let it
also be known that the present large annual
expenditures are uoi equal to our annual in
creased wealth.
He trusted that every member will consent
to make lane sacrifices for the good of the
country. Let us have taxes and loans, lessen
the amount of legal tenders, and increase the
pay of the soldiers. It is hoped the internal
and import taxes will enable the Secretary of
the Treasury to-obtain all the funds he wants,
and reduce the legal tender issues. The freed
men will contribute much more to the nation's
wealth than ever their friends claim. They
are largely increasing the amount of produc
tion to which they were limited by unpaid
and forced labor.
He examined the subject in an economical
light and did not present a mere theory. Our
faith is pledged to give them shelter and pro-
MEM
Mr. Morrill then examined at length the
prominent features of the bill, stating that
even without its machinery they might raise
a larger sum than is now proposed. It will
yield over two hundred and fifty million when
fairly in operation,

not be startled at any time to hear that Lee

ar
which they have been appointed. As no portmu tie
people are more patriotic than the working men and •se.
men of the country, it is but just and proper teat the,
should alike have an opportunity to contribute te,
jects of the Fair. The most equable plan for accenielleli

their labor willingly, who would not subs rite tleer 'ne

The success of the plan will depend ;men t he 1.0...ev
operation of every element of influence v. :dee e.r - len

this great work of patriotism and humanity.
The Committees charged with the fellowine eer to

profemons.
Much of this work must be performed by the personit
influence and Miens of ladies ant gentlencen aseociated.
or to be associated with the Committee in carrying out hhs
plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of the work they
have undertaken, which, to be successful, will require A
very perfect ramification of their plan, and they dime. ,
call upon all earnest people to assemble themselves to
gether in every town, township and county, and term or
ganizations. of. ladies and g entlemen to co-operate wall
them in this great work and labor of love. In the mum
factoring counties, the coal and oil regions, and in thoagri
cultural districts—especially, let there be organizations in
the large towns, so that the young people may have an
opportunity thus to render assistance to. their relatives
and friends lighting the bathes of their country in the ar
mies of the netiop.
The work of this Committee may be prceeecuted where
no other cribrt can be made for the Fair, as in the mole;
of the ccal regions. A day's earnings of .the miners, and
a day's product of the mines, can be obtained where no
portable article could be procured for transportation In
deed there is do part or sectiott of them States where the
day's labor may not be obtained, if organizations can be
formed to reach them.
The Committee cannot close without urging upon as
proprietors of establishments the duty of Liking prompt
and energetic action to secure the benefit of the day of
labor from all within their control
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do mere, than
thus to present the subject to the people of the three
States named. In the coming campaigns of our armies.
the labors of the "Sanitary Commission" will let greatly
augmented. By the first of Juno 700,000 men—one of
the largest armies of modern times—will be operating in
the field, So large a force, scattered over reeions %Yea
the men are unacclimated, must necessarily carry alai'
with it a large amount of sickness, sintering and death, Is
say nothing of the gathered horrors of the battlefield.
These sufferings, it is our bounded duty, as met and
Christians, to relieve. A great and enlighteeed people,
enjoying the blessings of a government of their ewe mak
ing, cannot refuse assistance to men suffering to maintain
its authority, and we wilt not believe that use - t,REAT
