HON. GEO. H. PENTALE TON'S SPRECII
We have been requested several of -our
leading business men, (two of whom have
heretofore acted with the Repuhlican , ) to
publish - the speech of Mr. Pendleton; de
livered in Milwankie last month, in favor of
paying off the Nathinal howls as they he
come due, in the paper currency of the coon
try. Desiring to afford our readers an op
portunity of seeing every side of the issues
before the people, we shall give the speech
in full in our next issue, and ask of those who
mar desire extra copies, to notify us of the
Same on or before Tuesday noon.
A WELL-RESERVED TESTIMONIAL
We have been much interested, in reading .
in the Philadelphia Age, a report of the Alro
ceedings at the testimonial banquet, given at
the Continental Hotel, on Wednesday even
ing of last week, by the lc:ailing - D'onpicrats
of Philadelphia, to:Hon Wintam A. 'Wallace,
Chairmanla the tateCentral Committee, as
a n appreciation of his services in the late
and preceding . campaigns. The entertain
ment was One o£ the finest ever prepared in
the city, and everything passed off in the
Jumpiest vein. The veteran
r. Hemocrat, Col.
James Page, presided, and made a few feli
citous remarks. Mr., Wallace delivered a
lengthy and able speech in the issues of the
clay, and remarks were also made by ex-Gov.
Ri lees Hon. William A. Porter. Hon. Geo.
W. Woodward, Hon.• Anson V. Parsons, Hon.
Richard Vats, Gm. Robert Patterson, Alin
Hulme, Esq., arid Col. Charles J. Biddle. We
know of no man in Pennsylvania to whom
the Democracy owe a larger debt of gratitude
than Mr. Wallace, and the recollection ef his
faithfulness;auld active services will ever be a
•green spot in the memory of the past seven
bloody and gloomy • years. When others
faltered and deserted their colors he stood
firm as a rock in defence of the truth ; and
to him more than any other Man is (hie the
efficient condition pre4ented by our party in
Pennsylvania at this time.
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSADIE
We put our _paper. to press a day earlier

PAVING OFF THE BON S lifonvms-
BACKS,. ; •
The proposition 'aright' announced - by
Ilon. Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio, and since
zealously advocated by Messrs, Butler,-Ste
yens :Ind other leading Radicals, to get rid of
the fearful load of taxation by paying off the
National bonds in the money with which they
were iturchased,las been furiously denounc
ed in some quarters, and' as vigorously advo
cated in many inhers. The maledictions that
have been heaped upon the idea havelad the
effect of attracting wide public attention to
it, and it must be confessed even by its most
determined opponents that there is a general
tendency in its 'favor. The. mass of husines
men are enthusiastic for sMuemeasure of re
ilief front their present difficulties, and eager
4y accept this as the best that has been sug
gested. In fact, among all classes, Nyjth the
exception of-those bidding bonds, the propo
sition scene: pill - feet with a cordial approval,
,and we have - heen astonished at the unanimi
ty with which, it is received in every section
where we areitequainted. ' For once in their
lives Democrtts and Radicals stand upon
common ground, and it really looks now as
if, were the proposition put to a test; the
party opposing it would be • too _ meagre in
number, outside of the Eastern States and
sea-board cities, to -constitute more than a
tenth of the voting population of the coun
try. •We state this simply as a fact which
cannolbe doubted br any person who will
take the trouble to invetigate the tone of
popular sentiment. Whether further ac
quaintance and a more thorough considera
tion of the subject, will leave the public dis
position in its present shape, the future must
disclose ; but: the favor with Which the sehein6
has been met up to Mit; stage of its progress,
cannot have escaped the attention of the
most indifferent observer: The anxiety we
have always felt for the harmouY of our or
ganization has led us to refrain from discuss
ing the issue heretofore, but its important
nature,and the.indieationspf popular opinion
remind us that it could not be avoided much
longer, if' we even possessed the disposition
to do so. We shall take - occasion at an early
day, to present' our views at length, andzin
the meantime, intend furnishing our readers
.an opportunity of reading both sides e‘c the
question, that tiler m ".,- ins better able to
undomtono it in all its bearings.
TILE WAR ON GRANT.
We were not in error in predicting that
Gen. Grant'sevinee before the impeach
ment committee would set the Radical pack
-to trirking at his heel, in full chorus. • The
confirmation of our assertion has not been
long in coming. is early as Thursday last,
only a couple days after the evidence had
been made -public, the Dispatch i-ontained
the following special tolegnun, dated at
Washington the day iirevions : '
"Gen. Grant's testimony ha, terribly. dam
aged his chances tbr the Pre , idency. :It iv
known that no one of the Republican Mem
bers of the Judiciary Committee are in fitvor
of him, and that they consider his testimony
places him squarely on the platform of cop
per-johnsonianistn."
The same intelligence comes to us .from
.other sources, both Democratic and Radical.
The Philadelphia Age and Pittsburgh Post
j publish the following alllolig their special
•
,dispatches:
The leading Radicals in both Houses are
intensely disgusted with Gen. Grant's testi
mony before the Judiciary Committee. They
threaten to annihilate hint politically hetbre
their nominating convention,meets next sum
' flier. The Cigese men are in "high feather"
over this authoritative expaxe or the ',torus of
their most formidable tic:lL—Aye.
The Radicals have weakened On Grant
since his testimony before the Impeachment
Committee have been-divulged. A prominent
Radical declared to-day that he would never
support a man who prevented Johnson front
hanging rebel leaders.—Pomt.
Whatever Grant's testimony may decide,
it has at least "settled his hash'' as the Radi
cal Presidential candidate in NM The pa
pep which so enthusitiqt4adly supportedlllA
nomination a fiat• weeks ago arc now as silent
as the grave, and we expect to see his -nathe
soon disappear mysterion , lv trom the head of
their columns.
CONGRESS AND TILE FINANCES
'ln view of the importance which the sub
ject is beginnin, to assume, the action of lice
Federal House of Representative', last week,
npon'the resolution offered by )Ir. llgNs, in
structing the Committee on banks and eur
rem-y to report a hill for Avithdrawing the
is , ues of the National Banks, and to substi
tute greenbacks for the same, possesses more
than ordinary significance. A motion to lay
it on the-table, which was made to test the
feEling of the House, was rejected by the liC
ekive vote of 101 to 51. The resolution was
then,. after a short debate, referred to the
Committee without a call for the yeas and
MIN , . It is a noticeable fact that the West
ern members, with few tex Tptit And with
out distinction of party, supportil the reso
lution, arguing that it will save low $25,-
000.0n0 annually, and is demanded a'. a mea
sure-of retr'encionerit. In the Statute, Mr.
Sherman, of Ohio, presented the petition of
the city Couneil of Cincinnati, against a con
traction, and to pay the national t34-ht ;18 pro
vided by laW in greenbacks, except h its is
payable in gold. The correspondents of the
New York dailies, writing' on thy ! . questions,
say they arc rapidly growing in niv.r at
Washington, :mil intimate that a majority-of
the House are (lit:posed to support both pro
positions.

LAXE DIMASTERS.—The storm of Friday
was an unusually hard one, and inflicted
much damage upon the Lakes, particularly
On Lakes , Erie and Ontario. A large num
ber vesseLs were driven ashore, and torn
to pie - ces by th'e frantic waves, and the de
struction of property is enormous. Thd only
loss of life of which ive have-an autherttle re
port was in the case of 1.10. propeller Owego,
which was cast on shore a few miles above
Dunkirk, during the snow storm on Friday
night, and striking upon a rock soon tilled
with water. The crew of the bark Gem,
'yin. , in Dunkirk harluir, with- a number of
citizens frmu that place, started to the Owe
go'. relief, with a life-host. They succeed
ed in ,securing the crew of the propeller i but,
in attempting to land, the boat was eapizeil
' and five of the inn drowned. This 14 the
.most dangerous season of the rear fir Lake
navigation, and it is hardly probable that the
month will close without numerous other
disaster. -

or they %s ill find the prestige of their city as
the leading coal mart of the Lakes taken
away- from them. Iluffalo - is.rapidly pushing

the anthracite trade, on which we at one time
based such extensive hopes, wilt be taken
away front us eithrely. The bituminous coal
fields of McKean, Elk, Jefferson and Clear
field rountics }MT long been a-coveted prize
to her, and she is now building a railroad that
will bring them forty miles nearer to her than
to Erie . It was' ad enough for lur citizens
topermit the profitable trade of the oil re
gions to be taken from, beneath their very
grasp, but, if, in Mldition, they allow them
selves to be robbed of the benefits of the coal
traffic, which at one periqd seemed to be a
monopoly in their hands, they will lie de
serving of little sympathy and less respect.
When that event occurs, as it certainly will
people 'rouse themselves to more
vigilance, we shall wash our Minds of all

the Pcninstila fortfinety-nint years, and lay

themselves to plant three: trek for every
