So lar as 1 have svea. or atn aware. lite speech of Mr. Speer baa been pub 1 tiied. Tui looks unkind to the aspirant for liotcmor; and leaves room for toe lufcrrnee th,t bis sjweches are not considered, by fcia jrirtiJs. worth publication. I am not here to ei!im question toe snundues of tbeir judg ment. Not having- beard the speeches, we are cotSned to an examination or the printed s;-cli of Mr. Speer; bat as the State Democrat ic onran it Harrisbunr. haa published it as by latawrity, we are justified in looking uooo it le AU ntiicial exposition and vindication of Democrat. c principles and candidate. 1 have the speech nelore me; and some of you have irqiicicd that 1 shouid give it tome attention.

Mr. Spier is a fluent speaker, a i-iiectAuie 1-wver, audan ambuioiw and ultra partisan, liis soeech clearly deuionstra:rs these trails of character; and it has evidently tern wnitcu out with great care tor puulica tiuD. It lias some truth in it; but so sup pressed, distorted, perverted, partial and mis-, skilled, as o eouvey false . impressions and ;! to erroneous conclusions. Tue perlorm sue, as a whole, is calculated to destroy all il ia in the adage that "hgures caunot lie." Ti. sprn h seems t have been constructed thrnugimut on the prinriple that some truth is required to make a: plausible and credible false bod: ti a t..f it was enure desirable u attain i.. i .i.-i' u viuaicate the truth of history by a frank, maulr and full statement ot the wocie truth ou the several subjects discussed. DEBT AI BASKRl-pTCT.

Speer's speech, ai.ut.ier tissue of labiicatious, uureasou t il- rotnpiaints, perverted arithmetic, aud cun c ni.y devised sophistries. Siat'ennz uuier li's trcujciiiious ueyt, the utacuusi uucs.iuu . - j , - - - aiiiniM c.ei j iiigiii uuervicsD was, and yet is, how on;ht It to be manatred? The Republican party has no apologies to make lor its conduct ot the war. burins: it proereas the expenditures otten exceeded 81.000,000 per day; and to provide all this severelv taxed both the wisdom and patriotism of the "people. To accomplish the desired ends different varieties of Dotes and bonds were aui onrized and issued, payable at dttfereut times and at different rates of interest; and the State banks were all superceded and national banks author ized to take their places. Prominent aninnfr these obliirati.ii.j were what are now called National greenbacks and National bat.k notes. Our Democratic friends denounced the Ereen. backs Irora the start, and durme the whole war, and until recently. Jiow they bave ehatitred their tune, and claim to be the snecial friends of the greenback, ud demand the de struction of the national banks. The green backs bave answered their purpose, and an swered it well, because they were made a leiral tender; were limited in amount under the laws cf their creation so as never to exceed fJ0, 090,000, and the faith ol the nation was solemn ly pledged auaiu and ajrain for tbeir redemp tion. Peace having been established, aud about a thousand millions, or one-third of the na tional debt, bavin;; since been paid ofi", the as surances of payment of the greenbacks in cold areabouttobeniadegood. The premium on gold is only one-fourth of one per cent., so that 51O0.25 or greenbacks will buy fUW of gold; and the notes of the national banks are prac tically of the same value as the greenback, aud are all convertible the oue into the other at par, at the option of the holder. What more ran any reasonable man askf There Is no better, and ran be no better currency iu the world. Every bolder of the Goverumeut money can have, at pleasure, gold, aiiver, or paper, and any one variety convertible Into the other whenever he pleases. There is wisdom in the old ada;e, 'Let well enough alone;" and we demand, aud have a right to demand, that Mr. Speer, aud all such chronic grumblers bold tbeir oeaoe and cease their petty railinirs, and save.' their wiud for some more honest and profitable purpose. But, say they, if green backs are uow so good, why not issue more of thetn, and make money pieuty!" The au swrrs to this question are plain. In the first place these were Issued on a great emergency, to save the life of the Nation when threstrned by war; and tile Supreme Court of the Lulled States sanctioned this money as constitutional because Its issue was the exercise or a war power by Couress. There being uo longer any war Iu existence, it would be unconstitu tional to issue any more legal-tender green backs. This ou;lit to be reason enough to any man, or any party, who has auy respect for the Constitution under w hich we l.ve. In the next place, we uo not ueed auy more paper money. The Hon. James A. Bayard. Democratic Uuited Stales Senator, ol Delaware, iu a speech made at Wilmington, on tne '.iln ol August last, de clared that, ' In this country, at present, there is realiy r.o scarcity of ;i-er money, nor is there any actual need for mote money." The bank of the great money centres are lull of It, aud it can be bad in abundance and at moder ate rates: aud if more should at any time be wauted, the National banks are authorized to is--ue to auy amouui required by the business Wauts ot the country. Mori-over, auother issue could not possibly be as good as the old. Tins, because capital aud capitalists are tliuld; and the doubt on the con slitutiouality r any uew issue would dimitiisit their value. Then, aaiu, auy new issue would be a flagrant violation or tbe oil-repeated aud solemn pledge ol tue Government to the holders that the total arauunt should never exceed H.ouo.OOO.Out). Tuat pitd-e was aud is as fol lows: Jieit macted, etc.. That the faith of the United States is solemnly pledged to I lie payment of com, or iu equivalent, a.i of the obiiiations of the diited States, not bearing interest, known as United Suites uotcs. And the United Sutra aiso soieiuuly pledges iu laitu to make provi sion, at the earnest practicable period, lor the redemption of the Uuited States culea iu coin. Surely, any Government which would volun tarily break so solemn a pleuge as this, could cot have, aud would not deserve to have tbe conadence of its own citizens, or of anybody else- How cau an honest man ak his Goveru meut to stultify lueil by a lepudiatiou ol the solemn pledges on which the notes were issued and paid out! Where is the Democrat, Creen liacker. or anybody else, shameless euouu to seriously advocate so d.houorAbie a course as this ! Anv greeubac-ks issued hereafter, there lore, wouid be a bastard issue, unconstitutional, dishonest and bogus, aud never could take rank or value wi.ta those heretofore constitutionally Issued. flat, says some Greecbarker or Democrat, why uot issue "absolute" or "flat money," without any promise ever to redeem, and ma!e curreucy on the mere Hat of Congress. Why, my good friend, al.ow uie to say this wouid oe uo money at ail, aud wouid have uone ot the ecseutial elements of money. Tuere are some thius thatCougress cannot do. It reminds me ol a resolution recently passed at a county cau. vcutiou ot Greenbackers or Nationals in Dau phiu county, dcciariLg iu tavor ol more shad in tue Susquehanna river. Let us take one ab surdity to illustrate anoiher. Tue questiou is, can s.iad be made by act ol Congress or by act of tue Legislature I Suppose Congress should pass an act de claring shad to be iu the river. Would that put tnein there! Suppose it passes au act de claring that certain sii of pa;ier shall be cut iu the shape ol suad, witu Hie name shad priuted upon each. Does that, make the piece ol paper a snad, or give it auy ol the valuaole properties ol a shadf Why, manifestly, such snad wouid uot do to roast, to try, or to broil, and mucu less would they be good to eat. Just so with auy "iiat money" whicu Congress could create- i hey miht provide the requisite a.ips of paper aud print upon tiiem ail the nuuieials lu the multiplication table and all Ihe letters in the alphabet, aud ei,e thcin out with the prettiest bus's ot wonieu and grandest spread eagles the skill of the artist could de vise. After all it wuuid uot be money, or have auy of tne essentials ol uiuney anv more than tne paper shad wouid be a snad. Such bastard Greeuback and National D:inocra;ic siiai aud money would be the laugaiug stock of the world. Wat? Because real snad must Lave euiijlc fiesu, aud teai mo.iey must nave lulriusic Value. A promise to ;ay la oue ti.ing, and actual nioney is aiiolhci. 'ihis greenback 1 hold in niy naud is a mere promise to pay, and it does uot pui jorl to be anything else, luis coiu is money, and has no promise to pay on it. Ti.e loriuer is only as good as the latter because iawiuliy ssued iu limited quantities, and m.ucr sucii conu.wous and pledges as ul timate, v to uikc tue promise good and the oue convertible into the outer at me pleasure ol tne hoii.cr. 'lake away the coudit ions aud limita tions, and tue promise is good lor uotulu; while the coin is good at ii tunes because ot l-s luiriusic Value and lircspec;it'e of couUl tluns. &uppose Hie late Lviuocratlc Southern Coiilederac) , instead ol ihnse paptr promt; to pav, alter their lndepcudenee should be se cured, hud issued gobi aud suver coins ol tue sauie welut aud llueuess of tne lawlul coins u; lue Limed States. Ineu sucn cuius would have becu just as good and curreut alter the Coulrderacy had goue to pi.ee as before; whilst the paper promises tney issued, beiug only "hat money,7' is oi uo vaiue, aud has ail "goue w ucte tue wotKiniue twiuctu." But the Democratic party, through the fauiihudiug cuiel'ut its State Committee, com plains ol me griuduig monopolies of the Na tiuual banks, proclaims tuem au unm.tuated evu, and deiuauds that tney be aootisued by taw, without bcueiit of clergy. Let us briefly inquire lulu the wi-uoni or ihis pro:osiiioii. iu tue first puce, are tuee baus monopo.ics? 1 deuy that tney are, iu any proper sense ot tuat term. Tue laws ot tne.r creation ate uuiturtu all over tne L'uited SLaUes; aud tney proiide luut auy lite or uiuru persons may ora.tize uuder tueiu, aud aian a National bank, ou me terms tue laws pi escribe ar.ke tor al. it this be uiouopoiv, i coulcss 1 don't fcuuw tbe meauinj; ot tue word. iiul iu luis age ol tue wor.d, no civilized or commercial uaiion can get along without banks ol some kind. Hence tne perniueut iuquiy, wheu the National bauks are uestroyed wuat shail Late tneir piacel Tue Deuiocralic S ate Couveiitioiis ol Louistna aud ieuuessee are more outspoken ou luis subject thau their Priiusvivautk bretiirro. Ill In. ir piallorms they boiuii demand the suusti.uliou oi Siaie banks lor tue Nation il banks; aud aucu, uy Uir lulereucejs tne deinaud ot tue Deinocrauc party in this campaign. Tney rau tiotu tue National and Slate Guveruments almost uninter ruptedly for thlriy wars orior to loui-aud - w - iotanuliig the sereminIy overwhelming w mi i circumstantial evidence against A what did they do! They voluntarily abdicated and relinquished all right in tlie National Goverumeut to furuisli the people a paper currency; and for money they gave us the issues of State banks, and occasionally added to these the issue of cities, boroughs, and eveu turnpike companies, aud other corporations a currency commonly known as "shin-piasters." These were insecure and of unequal value, even in the States or localities where Issued; aud this inequality became greater and more aggravated tbe further we got away frota the place of issue. A citizen either doing busi ness or traveling in remote States had to sub mit to frequent and heavy discounts, and when the bauks or other corporations w hich issued this paper luoucr failed, aa they often did, the holders bad uo security, and often lost the whole amount of the notes held. In these good old Democratic day we were often afraid to keep our paier "wild-cat" money over night for fear it would be good for nothing in tbe morning. Iu aggravation of all this, it was so poorly engraved, and so extensively counterfeited, tbst a man In any large business had to keep a small library of counterfeit de tectors, aud eveu then was far from secure. Such was our paper currency In the times of Democratic ascendancy. I feel very sure no intelligent man ever wants to see It back again. I appeal every man to who bears me if our greenback currency Re publican currency, if you please is not infin itely better. It ia ot the same value in all tbe Slates, however reuio'e, and can be exchanged by Uie holder at auy time or place fur gold or silver without loss. It is so difficult to coun terfeit we hardly ever think It worth while to suspect or examine il: aud better Than all, it Is so secured that should any of the banks which issue it break tbe note are Just as good after the break as beiore, because secured by a re quired oeposit of bonds with the Government; so that no man cau ever lose anything by exist ing paper monev, whether issued by the Gov ernment or the ualioual banks it has created. W;ben, therefore, our Democratic friends de mand the destruction of our natioual bauks, and a return to the old wornout and exploded system of Slate banks, uuder whicu corpora tions and everybody else who chose couid issue paper money, aud as much of it as they chose, and without any adequate security for re demption, they demand what nobody will give; tbey propose w hat nnbody will accept; aud it seems to me they hold themselves up, without any jus', provocation, as proper sub jects of popular ridicule aud contempt. It is seriously to be apprehended that more lunalic asylums are needed. CAXrilDtTF. Our friend Mr. Speer nas a lew words to say about candidates; and so bave L It baa been my good fortune to Lave a persoual acquaint ance of some ten year with the Democratic and Repubiicau candidates lor Governor. Tney are kuow n as good, clever fellows, lawyers of good standing iu their respect. ve couulies, aud may be justly considered as fair party repre sentatives. Iletice, at tbe breaking out of the rebellion, Henry M. lloyt, tuen a private citi zen, entered the Union army as a lieutenaut colonel in the Filty-seroud kegiineut ol Peun sylvauia Volunteers, thus olieriug his life for his country, and doing a gallant soldier's part during tbe whole war, from which be was bou oraoiy discharged a brevet brigadier general. Andrew il. Dill, instead of going to tbe war, coti'.iuued his atleudauce at Isemocratie con ventions, and served bis couutry by drawing up aud passing resolutions denouncing the war and justilyiug the rebellion. That I may do the man uo injustice I will read a few resolu tions reported bv him ill IStH iu the Democratic convention of Union county : "3. That we deprecate civil war. as we believe that the Union can terri be maintained by lorce of arms, aud that as Damjcrai ir are uot Killing to ttik u r'i to support a platform which a majority of the people repudiate at the polls." "3. That we cordially approve the policy of the Natioual Adiuinistiatiou (Buchauau'e) in ins raf and conciliatory course in the present perilous condition of tne country." "o. Tuat we will, by all proper and legitimate means, iippo, tlttcwtutntartct ami pt tvtut any tUjMftt oh t.tf part f t.'tc JitpuoiicttH m xMrer, to make auy armed aggressions upou the Southern States, especially so long as laws con travening their riytit shall remain unrepealed on the statute books of tbe Northern States, aud au long as the jus detntuui of tkt Ooutx shall coouuue to be uniecogiiizcd by the Ke puulican majorities In these Sia'es, and unse cured by proper amendatory cxpiauatious by the Constitution." Tuis record speaks lor Itself, and requires no expiauatious. 1 submit it, without comment, to the patriotie voters of Fulton county, that they may pas judgment upou It at tbe ballot box. But, we are told that Mr. Dill has served in our Stale Legislature, House aud Senate fur nine or more years. For this let us give biiu all proper credit; but, as be is uow au aspirant for higher honors, il ia our right aud duty to inquire bow the important duties or legislator have been performed. What did be do for the puolic good during all those long nine years! On this t.e speech of Mr. Saeer aud his other friends aud oigaua are ominously silent. He drew Lis salar. all the time with great punctu ality and regularity; be answered to the call of tneroii;aud Mr. Speer informs us, iu no very complimentary way, that he drew postage foi 'Sti letters per day. The peop.e demand, aud have a right t J expect, a t-e.ter record than this. I had the honor iu 1S.V5 6 7 to serve you, aud theood o!d counties of Bed lord and Som erset, in the Stale Scuate. Any competent nan can render bis people and State much good service theie if be wiil. My term was only three years, and vet I luiu back with pride aud pleasure lu the record tbeu made. Our public Improvements had become a source ol heavy annual loss to tue State Treasury, and scandalous political denioralizatiou. A biil was prepared lor their saie, aud I was se lected by couiuioii conseul as champion of the bill, and w ith diligence and persistency I louht It through, the lirst session of my term. It tailed to accomplish its puriiose by reasou of soma im practicable aiucudiueuui fastened Uion it by its enemies. Not discouraged, I tried it again in ls.17, w hen the bill lor l lie saie of the Main Line was passed, tue public works sold, and the State relieved trom her auuual uurdeua to maintaiu tiiem, and from this source of po litical demoralization. When there I louud that ihe legal department of the Government needed reo.gauizaUon. The Attorney General was more ornamental thau uae!ul,aud received a salary ot ouly tnJdd per auuutu. He was, of course, not expected to do much for this; and the legal business of me several departments was pedd.ed out lo political favorites ail over tue S ale. Tne result was the legal interest of tue State were badiy alleudcd lo; money col lected by lrresiwusibie persous ofteu Islied to reach the Slate lreasury at all; and thousands ot doi.ars were pa.d tor a very inadequate bcr loruiauce ot the work. To remedy ail this, I prepared a bill to reorganize tne Attorney Geueral's Department, debiting h:s dutiirs and r quiring hun to keep bis oillce at the seat of government and attend to them. S-j important was this to tiie public service that, ailer ex planation, the bid passed through both branches ol the Legislature unanimously; aud it remains the law of lue laud to this day. I refer to these tlnigs, not from any egotumi, but to show that our Stale Seuale is a place where a reasonably catupctcul mau can render good service. il so much could be accom plished in three years, what may we uot rea sonably expect iu blue years! We listen lo Democratic siieecbes, aud read partisan edi torials iu Vaiu lor auy light on the questiou. Wuat important public act did ever Senator Dill propose! or witu the advueacy or success ot what public measure does hi uame stand ideuuue a.' Are our laws so perfect tua: be has beeu looking iu Tain lor nine years tor some thing lo supply or amend? This strikes ineaa a very high coiiiptiineut to our statute nooks. or a very low coui.iincnl to Mr .Dul, whicb is it! His Irieuus assuie us, ncwever, that Ue is an t.cor,Mra lou mail ; aud he is held forth for our suriragesas au aim-corporation caudijate, upou an nfi-corporaL;oii platlorui. Wuere i tue evidence ol luis! We uaiura.lv turu to his long legislative record, aud from that I beg leave lo exhibit lo you a tew specimen bricks: in 1S.M au act Was introduced " l'o authorize aud direct the Attoruey-General, upon coiu piaiul made by parties wbuae interest are thereby uctrd.to lusiitute proceedingsaccord iug to law, acaiusl corporations alleged lit have violaud du.ies imposed upon tueiu bv taw." Ou luis Mr. Dill voted Nay. (rf. J. lB7o, pafe 11)1:2.) At the same session another act was Intro duced, entitled, An act to aulho.ize railroad euiwies V icse or become lessees, aud to I -'omp;l8 tne creature to abstain from in-f una i juim me uivcrs. i nese gnarit cnarm ! make contracts wi:h other railroad companies, corporations aud parties.' By ihe provisions of ibis bill, giaut monopoliea were given life; and bv mergers and consolidations made under It. individual enterprises were driven to the wall. The bill passed. Mr. Dili Votlu; in tbe aillriintlve. (H. J. 1S70, page 3U3.) In 1STU, the following was offered: "Jletol.tfi, That the Committee on Railroads be and are hereby Instructed tn report a biil fixing the maximum rates of freight, and fare to be charged by all railroad companies in the Commonwealth." On motion to Indefinitely postpone the con sideration of this resolution, Mr. Dill Toted Yea. (Leg. ReC. 1S71. page 811. Iu lbri, Mr. Dili introduced iu the Senate bill eutiiled, "An act to repeal the supplement approved April 7, 171). to tne act en lined 'An act relating to executions,' approved June ltl, lUfi, so far as the same relates to Ihe Muucy Creek Railway Company." (3. J. 1S71, page 1W7.) This bill passed, and it was one of the most unreasonable and outrageous bills ever en acted by auy Legislature. It practical ellect w as to close ait the court of the Common wealth, aa to all claims and demands against the Muucy Creek Railway Company. The creditor or claimant might sue tor the price of hut work, labor or materials, aud obtain a judg ment; but this act prohibited tilt issue ol auy execution against the company. Governor Geary vetoed tne biil, aa a plain violation of the Constitution, and an outrage against all the creditors ol the corporation thus exempted. (S. J. page 615,016.) In lb7d (H. J. p. 119) Mr. Dill voted for an act entitled "A supplement to tue Mil lord and Matamora Railroad Company." Tui is what iu legislative parlance is called a snake." Many years ago tue New York and Erie Rail road Company in consideration ol sundry privi leges obligated itself to pay into our Suite Treasury f 10,000 per annum, aud this supple ment, in arilulty worded and obscure phrase ology, appropriated these annual paymenta to the construction of the Miilord and Matamoras Railroad Company thus virtually appropriat ing uioucy out ot the Slate Treasury to bund tin railroad. When the fraud was discovered, tbe Governor seut a special message lo the Leg islature, pointing out the wrong and demand ing it repeal. A bill was prepared lor ttiis purpose, aud passed; but Mr. Dill voted agaiust Ihe repeal. (S. J. l7:i, p. 7t.i. 7'Jd.) I will only give one more Instance frira this anti-carporation record, whlcn may serve as a climax, aud dciuoustraiiou: Some tweuty years ago uiue millions of dollars iu bonds found tneir way into tbe Siuking Fund our State Treasury, being the proceeds of the satew of our public works. Iu 1870, a scheme was concocted by somebody to get these bonds out of tbe Treas ury aud sell them, aud distribute the proceed among a number ol railroad companies iu va rious pans ol the Stale the bouda ol the uti built road to be substituted. A bill was pre pared aud introduced into the Legisla'ure to carry out tin object, eutitled, "Au act to facil itate and secure the construction ot additional railways by extending aid lo the Jersey Snore, Pine Creek and Buffalo, aud other companies." This bill was kuoau and denounced at the time, aud ever since, a "The Nine Million Steal." it passed, and Senator Did voted for it (H. J. 1-S70, p. 7). and nothing but the firmues aud cuuraze of G jveruor Geary saved these uiue lu.lliou of doiiar lo the S.ale Treas ury, aud from tue grasp of tbe railroad com panies. This record is unquestioned, aud is presented to you as Senator Dili made it for himself. What think yu of It, fellow citizens, whether Republicans, Democrats, Greenbacks, or what not, as the record of au anti-corporation candidate! It speaks for itself; aud no rommeut of mine cau make it auy c.earer or stronger. It 1 bard lo characterize properly such jugglery a this. Read the Democratic State platform ou this suoject ot cor;iorai ions, aud theu read this record of their candidate; and determine for yourselves w hether those who made Iheiu are kuavea or fools. Candid, truth ful, intelligent aud honest men they cannot be. In leaving this (toiiit, a slight moditlraifon In tne name is suggested. Instead of aMfi-cnrpor-ation let it be Andy corporatiou, and all cau tuen see the flme&s ol ihe title. ki-BkL W AH CLAIM. Ou this subject the Chairman of the Demo cratic Stale Committee haa surpassed himself in sophistries aud tub-repieseutatioue. Let us consider tue tacts. The lourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United Stales pro hibit all payment fur the loss of slave. This is good euuugu so far as it goes; but there are thousands of other claims tor damage aud loss of property, cotton, tobacco, horses, cattle, fences, aud other thiugs, not included lu the constitutional prohibition, aud for whicb pay ment is now-demanded, "as a matter of justice and right." That is. except for s aves, Ihose lately iu rebellion must be paid fur all the losses they incurred during Ihe war in their desperate etlort lo overthrow and destroy the govern ment 1 Recently 1 had an Interview with an old friend, ronnnected with that branch of the tjuartcruiasler's department iu which tliece claims are bird lor horses, and be assured me that claims were already registered and on li.e tor over ln),onO bor$"s al.eged to have been lost in the two States ol Kentucky and Teiiucs.ee alone. These demands are growiug every y ear. Iu the lust Congress, down to the lJth day of last April, the immeuse uumiier of bills intro duced was 4.2VJ, of wuich 1 .-.l, or more than one tiiutth, were referred to tue Coroini'tee on War Claims, aggregating over S-W,0O0.Oovi. But lew of these were passed, because of an adverse majority iu tue Senate, wuicn made it imprudent lor their friends to pr;s tiiem. When the passage of one lor H7o,'.KK was being urged, au examination ot wuat are called the Reuel Archives disclosed the tact that the claim was for services rendered the late Con federate PoslotUce Depariiucuf bv mail con tractors; and tuat large navuieuts upon it had actually been a.ready made by the Conlederate Goverumeut I Alter tin revelation the Demo cratic inaiority was found to be uot quite large enough to compel its passage; and its consider ation was prudently postpoucd for a more cou Tcnient season. Wc know the Northern Demo crats disclaim the intention to pay these claims, but the Southern Democrats insist upon pay ment: and we know, trom sad exjiericuces, that the Northern Democracy are owned and driveu by their Southern leaders, aud are bound to do their bidding, whether tor tne inauguration ol a rebellion, the striking down a protective tariff, or tue pnymeut of iiiese claims. In the last session of Congress Mr. Couger, of Mirhi ;rau, moved lo suspend the rules to rnahie him lo propose an amendment lo tr.e Constitution of the United States, prohibiting the payment of ail sucb demands. O-i luis motiou the vote was 1" yeas to 01 nays !1 not voting. But of till 146 only lour were Southern uieu. and of the ixty-one votes in the negative ttty-five were from the South. Such i the latrst record of the teas aud nays. This Is the "Solid South," aud it means business. These demands on the puDlic Treasury are the inouumetilal outrage ot the century; and our only salvation from this threatened bankruptcy and ruin is in the election of a National House ot Representa tive bot subject to Democratic coulroi. KCFOKM. I bare thus endeavored to answer Ihe main points iu Mr. Speer' speech; aud with what success judge ye. S much is said, however, about "economy, retrc nenment and reform," that iu conciusiou I w ill group together sundry matters uuder this general head. And here 1 will uot ice the basele.-a and unjust arcusallou against tue Republican Legislature tor neglect ing lo pas tbe uecrssary laws uuder the New C institution. It weut Into effect in January. ls74; aud from that year lo tue present, inclu sive, there bave been live anuual sessions. The Republicans bad tne majority in 1 -7 . W7 aud 1973, aud tne Democrats iu 1476 aud lt7d. Au examination ol tbe laws passed uuring these years will snow ten parsed uuder the require ments of tbe New Constitution during the Wi' tears ol Repuoiican ruie lor every oe passed auring Ine two years of Dciiiorraiic rule, lu fact, 1 know of iut one more law ot nils ki(.d needed; and those complaining heve tailed to poiut out any: but if owners aie ueedctl, wuat wa Squalor Dill about ail tueae live years, mat I hi alleged important puuuc matter ha been so ueglecied! Was be too busy looking after tbe Interests of corp irations! Mr. Speer, iu ol speecii, gravely Informs us that it ba been 'ertiitated that owe fourth of Ihe revenues of ibe L ulled S ate are- auuaiiy lost iu the collection." But why take the out side eafiiU ou sucU an important matter, wiien the official repori aud rarelully pre pared tableau! the Treasury department, snow tne exact annual losses ou the revenue tor me last tony-eight years! Tnese repor.s aud tabl.-s demonstrate mat the average annual lose of cauu thousand uu.iar lruiu lao to lxll fired at it first it tried to escape, but I lfirsre ball striking asrainst the softer (the period of Democratic aseendsnev), was two dollars and nine ecuts (2.09); whilst from 1801 to 1873 (the period of Republican ascen ds acv ). tbe average anuual loss on each thou sand dollars of revenue, was only thirty-four tmts! I have not been able to Isv my hands on auy official report later than 1S75; but we Lave no tears fur the present a lmiuistration. If 1 here ever was an honest and patriotie man in the Presidential chair, that man is President .lares. I' strikes me this monstrous dis crepancy between the officially recorded fact and Mr. Speer's estimates evince not only a want of candor on Li part, but a wilful pur pose to deceive. Everybody knows our Democratic friends are great on "ecouoiuy, retrench cueut aud re form," wheu they are nut of power and olliee; and especially on the eve of elections. Unfor tunately, when they get elected they seem to forget and repudiate all their fair promises. To say tbe least, it I uuwise iu them to chal lenge any investigation or comparison on this the City of New Tork for example and illustration. Tbe Democratic party ha un limited control of the Government in ail lit branches, and has bad for years. As a result the debt of that city, by recent official report, was $lV.i.Oii,liyi.77, which, after deducting tbeir sinking fu-.a of S'JS.5Ou.46.03, leaves the actual debt $lSl,I13,Juti.71; which approxi mates $150 a bead for every man, womau and child iu the city. For years past, anttl very recently, this enormous debt has town increas ing at the rate of about 111,000,000 annually. Here ia where Tweed and his confederates flourished, aud stole $30,000,000; and when discovered and exposed, bis party rose up in his deleuse, and not ouly nominated, but ac tually elected biin to the State Seuate by l'i.000 majority; aud not satisfied with this em phatic endorsement, they actually got up subscription paper to build him a monumeut. There was at least some propriety in this last move, for be certainly waa Ibe most monumen tal thief and scouudrel this country ha ever produced. I atn not aware that tbe design or material for this monument were ever deter mined upon, but it i manliest that tbe mate rial should have beeu bras. Here I a genuine Sfiecimen ol unadulterated Democratic "econ omy, retrenchment and rt-mrm." It shows what tbe party cau do when il ha a fair chance. For another Instance; Take the State of Mis souri. Tuere the Republicans were in power several years aftrr the war, and had tbe finances and credit of the State In good shsie. A few years since the Democrat acquired con trol, and already there is a defalcation of some $ifc)0,UO0 in tbe State Treasury; and because of it, payment of tbe Stale interest ia suspended, and the good people of Missouri are realizing tne piratical operations ol Democratic "econ omy, retrenchment and reform." But we Deed not go to other State lor examples. Penusyivauia ha had some sad experiences in these matters, which she is not likely lo for get. Prior to Wkl the Democratic party wield ed almost uninterrupted power, in both the Stale and National Governments, fur nearly tinny years. As a result they piled upon us a State debt of over (40,000,000. Wuen the Re publican party came iuu power over f'JO.OOO, 01X1 of this debt nad matured and been dishon ored. We bave been iu power n-arly ever since, hare made provision lor all overdue hoods, bave (aid oil about c'-lO.OOUXV) of the debt, have sme t-,0Oil,O)0 more in the Siuk ing Fuud. aud lor the residue have caused tbe interest to be reduced from six to five twr cent., and more theu ten years ago took otf all State taxes from real estate. Dur ing all this time these blatant reformers have beeu charging us with rmbtzzlemrnt and dis honesty iu our management of the State Treas ury, aud threatening Irightful revelations or fraud aud corruption wheu they got into power. Last May the Treasury Department passed Into their bauds, and alter carefully looking into everything lor several mouths, the Demo cratic Slate Treasurer published a report that he lou nd everything In good shape, and no enibezzleuicniordefalcatiiiu there. Aiaiutliiat lime, however, il came to light that away back under Democratic administration, there had occurred what appeared to bean over Issue of f 100,0)0 of bonds; and which were unaccount ed for. They seem to bave been deposited in a bank, not a law ml depository of State tuud; and it looks very much as II the Slate Treasury woulJ sutler by tins transaction. Tune will show; but at present the fraud aud defalcation hoot is on the other leg; and the friends of those under w bom the mystery occurred are eu tiiled lo tbe f.oiir lor explanations. How the Natioual 11 nance were managed during Ibis same period is a simple matter of history. At the close of Buchanan aduiiuis tratiou the credit of tbe National Government wa so low and demoralized that all tne ordi nary means and appliances were found in adequate to b irrow or procure money on the National credit. Special agent were appointed and sent abroad to other uatlous to beg or bor row money to carry on the Goverumeut: and so prostrated wa the National credit that it actually wa compelled lo pay twelve per ceut. lor monev to meet ordinary expenses; aud this, too, iu a lime ot peace, ii-ve was Democratic hiiaucicriug, practically lllustiated, with a Vengeance. Tue Republican party came into power iu ISM, wltll the Natioual credit thu run dowu aud destroyed by Democratic In competency; and wiib a number ot tbe Oeniiv cratic States claiming to have seceded from Ihe Union. Tue rePeiliou bad already begun, and il coutinued tor tour years: aud the emergen cies of tne war were su-h that buiidretl of millions ol dol.ars had to be borrowed. And yet during all this nine Ike credit of the Gov ernment was sustai'ied, so that sever, andihree teulhs per ceut. iulcresl was the big'iest rate ever paid, aud this tor ouiv smau ainuuuts; whilst uearly all the vast millions expeuded lor the war were procured at six per cent. Since tue war urarly a tln.Ui-aud millions of the war deni have been paid oil; and we are now refui d ing tue residue lu lour percent, bouds at tli-raie ol iweuty-dve ml. In. n of dollars (j'J5,0O0,ooo) per month; alter having red'ieed tne high taxes of the war, trom $4S,-7il,4'o in 1:m, lo tl0.76J.lk4 iu 1878. Tuia m history, aud very recent hisbiry, too; and yet in the face of il the Democratic party has the lolly aud brazen nn pudeuce to challenge comparisons, and to de nounce the Kepuulicau party lur iiuaucial ill competency and uishouesiy. Tue lal Presidential election was run as a "reform" campaign. Hosts ol hungry dele galet Irom the South attended the National Democratic Couveulinn, and Tildeu' li lends boasted tbey took with them from New i'otk "a barrel of money." Wuen the buii.-ry dele, gates and the barrel ot money came together the nomination was toon coosuuimated. and ' fildcu and R"for:a" became tbe rallying cry from that day lorth. Under this batlle cry they ruthlessly trampled under foot the m ist sacred constitutional rights of the citizen, and resolved and labored to carry South Caroliua with ride clubs, Misiippi aud Louisiana with intimidation and violence, and Omo aud New York with ail the mercenary machinery -nd appliances kuown to unprincipled political des peradoes aud baiiol-box stutters. IV hen, alter all this, they louud themselves defeated, on a telegraphic arrangement with Tllden's nephew and private secretary, they deposited eight Ihou&aiid dollars in bauk to suborn and pur chase a Rcpuoiu-an elector of Oregon, known to bave beeu lawfully chosen on tne Republican ticket by over a thousand majority. Failing in ail these virtuous effort, they threatened another war ot rebellion, aud to send oue hun dred tbousaud meu lo Washington lo inaug urate Tuden whether returned elected or not. liuable to frighten any one by this silly threat, thev magnanimously agreed to snbmit the questiou at issue to an l.iecloral Commission, suggested bv themseives. and created for tbe purpose. But no sooner was the decision reu dered agaiust them, than tney denounced it as a Irauil, aud proclaimed their uuwiiliugiiess lo abide by it; ami on tbe tauailiar principle ot the tniel crying lop thief, they have kept ptior lu deu running lor lue Presidency ever since, on the preiext Inai be has beeu defrauded.

War upon tbe National bankln; sys'em does not Laeau mischiel to capitalist. It means per manent harm to borrowers, producers aud laborers, especially In the smaller towns aud the agricultural reglona. In short, the very people who clamor most for the overthrow of that avstem. would be most harmed by it. By stuileuisof finance It has long been recognized as tbe peculiar characteristic of that science that It is full of paradoxes; tbe obvious truth is usually a falsehood, and the apparently inevit able result is precisely that which almost never follows. Hence It is that the shallow ressoners are almost alwava st the fault, and the legislators and politicians who act upon will seem to lliern ''self-evident trut .s," and have In view "obvious consequence," in nearly every case arrive at results precisely opposite lo those intended. They meant to Inflate tbe cur rency when tbe "tree banking' clause was fastened upon the Resumption act; tbe actual result was contraction. Tney meant to raise tne price of silver bullion wbrn they passed the Silver bill; the actual result has been to lower the price. Tney meant, by tbe issue ol silver, to increase the circulation; the actual result baa been to diminish the amount ol paper in circulation, while the silver Hows back into the Treasury, in place ol cold, almost as fast as it is issued. So they mean to strike a blow at mouey-lruders and banker by a repeal of tbe Bauk act, and to benetil laborers, produce aud especially farmers. Tbe reault, if they succeed, will be disastrous chiefly lo those whom tbey desire to aid. All over the country, under tbe operation of the National Banking Act, small batiks have been established away from the chief centres, and In places where the business would tint stitllce to render profitable a bauk having no advantage of circulation. Thus the Lumber of banks has been greatly increased. In 1800 there were ouly 1..V.J bank iu the couutry; now there are over 2,000 National banks, be sides 633 State banks, and about S.odO private bank, and in many parts of the country the banks which supplied the Deeda ot smaller towns and agricultural counties are almost all organized on the National system. This is Dot unnatural, for it is known that tbe mode of organization, and the super vision by tbe United Slates officials render these banks sa'er than any ever urbanized un der S: ate laws, and immeasurably sater, as a ruie, tnan tbe private hanking house which start up in places of limited business. Men who bave real capital to Invest in banking lu such localities, ami intend to use it so pru dently that they need not fear the visits o! Goverumeut inspectors, are very likely tn pre fer the National system with all ita restrain s and with the advantage ol circula.ion, which, iu agricultural regions snd small towns, is ol more vaiue tnan iu tile large commercial cit ies. Because of this advautage, and because sucb banks are believed to be peculiarly sale, the Natioual bauk Lave lucreased iu uuiu ber rapidly in localities which would otherwise have rctuaiued without baukiug facilities, or exposed to all tbe risks iucideut to complete dependence uuun untestraiucd aud uurcguiaitd private banks. Let the system be abolished, and the change will hardly be Icit by the capitalist ol the larger cities in respect lo their faculties for th employment or tbe borrowiug of ninuey. Doubticss all the Natioual bauks now doing busiurs in this city or o tou, or Philadelphia, or Chicago, wouid at once reorganize under State laws, and continue opera ions as beiore, excepting that, alter the sale of their de;oel:eil bonds, they won. 1 have a little more money to lend thau before, and would be less restrained as to their reserves, or by orhcial su;iervisiou. But while the money-leuder, the capiiaiil and tne mauutactureri aud mereha-.ta iu the larger rities aud towns would probably enj y as great lacuiiies as before, excepting as tbe destruction ot tne National system would shake putili t credit, disorganize the machinery of commerce aud reuder less secure audtnereiore more costly ail its financial operalums, tne etl.-ct would probably be very much more serious elsewhere. Natioual bauks iu the smaller towns and at the county seats or railway sialious ot agricul tural reirlou wouid go cut or existence, but what wouid take their places! In nianv cases. It is prouabie, no baukiug institution wnaiever wouid arise. Tueowuers ot Hie National bank, holding Government bouds uow d xiie.i lor circulation, being uuabie lo liud a gsd mar ket lor tuem at a time when tuon.-auds of other banker would ue trying to realise on tneir bouds, aud finding uo adequate employ ment tor lueir capital lu mere deuosit and d. couut baukiug in a sma.i place, would, in many cases, wimdraw Iroui lue busi..e?s alto gether, preierring lo draw interest on tUL-ir bonis. If they liud it unproiiiuuie tn continue, new men Would probably hud 1' uu proutanie to commence baukiug thrre. Tuus uauy local! 'les would be led aitoirei her n u oul banking laci.i.ies; surplus iuinis would b deposited at more di.-tanl toarns, and those wto need to borrow wouid find It very unicli more uitlicuit to obtain loans from cniuparative. strangers. Some farmers and mauuiacrurers Would full; some laborers would lose einplcj meui. '1 ue circulation of currency in such io caii.ie would suddenly shrink, for there would no longer be a bank interested in kec,.!ug oat its note s far as imsslble. Tue inconvenience, and to some individuals the actual los, vvou.'l be very serious. Bui in other places, the service hitVrto per formed by the National bauk woud be under taken by private bankers, iieruan by niauagers ol the lain bank, perhaps by new men. In either case, there would be uo security what ever ol the soiveucv or prudence of the concern, no prool thai actual capital wa invested, no publicity of operatiou or coouiiioii, no super vision or ottictal iuspcciiuu. The door would be opened w ide tor fraud. In all such cases, tue eouimuuity would be exposed lo greater risk; iu uni case ita bauker wouid be obnged to p-y wore for moury, when aid from reserve ot capital elsewhere was needed, thau the National bank : now obliged to pay; aud in very mau iu-tnuce reekics baukiug wouiJ loiiovv removal of restraint, aud great loss to tbe coin.uunity wouid ensue. Iu Ibis case, too, the currency in ciiculatioii wouid sunuK, lor the private banker would have no notes to keep in circula tion, and it wouid be his iaterest to accu.uuiate legal tenders or specie wbereVer uis cr. d;t could be used instead. In snort, precisely tl e evils wbicii II is most desired to avoid would lull most heavily upon those who ciiuior lor t he aoolitiuu of the National bauks. viz: lack ol currency.
