    Enemies of tlxo - National Honor.
In the'distre ithalsed-by "thel,3)eino
eratic rebellion, the. Government -bor
rowed money for the-'national - defense
at a heavy sacrifice; kriliig bondS
payable 41 gold ;for , currency ikt ". par,
which, ear the average, with,' depre,biated
,to- about sixty-five • per cent. The loyal
people expect it to keep this engage
ment." While the Government". main- -
tains the national •honor, it will keep
this engagement. It would be as - dis
honest to repudiate the obligation to pay
the interest, and principal of these bonds
in l kolk us to 'repudiate the payment al
.together: know of none who would
repudiate this paymentin gold except
those who 'were for the national.
tion in'the rebellion; who are dissatisfi
ed with the naticnialpreservatien, and
who yet are trying to devise its destruct
ion, and who look to national dishonor
as a means of national dissolution.
The Government also bOrroWedlarge; -
ly on notes of'variousi sorts whose prin-'
cipal - ard IntereSt was payable :' in cur'.
rency. 'JR exchanged these at par when
the currency WasdepreCiated on th - 6 av

currencirso as to depreciate it - 'further
would be repudiation.. TO contract the
volume this currency so iislo appre
ciate its - Value would increase the real
amount of the dept, and would thus add"
unnecessarily alverY large' gain •to the
alarthingjaMount of the pUblid debt:
They who hate suddenly become' ad
. vocates of issuing legal tenders to' 'take
up the bonds, and of compelling 'the,
holders of the gold bonds to take legal
tenders or nothing, are those who all
though the war and till now were fOr
repudiation ; m
and theyean repudiation
by it now ,*.• On 'the other.: , ,ll! ad, they
who would add the large ante,: ~.our
vast &bile 'debt that would ,b .., : i ed
by t urnitigThneurrency debt in . : , ,gold
bonds, and by contracting the cur . icy
to thervalue of specie, show a reek b ss
willingness to multiply the amount of
the debt, which argues either indiffer
ence to the Payment, or am incapacity
to appreelati;%, the'Magnitude of the debt
, or the ability of
. the country to' bear it.
Both of these,parties are trifling with
and endangering the Public' credit.=
One does it; with • the mariant and
traitorous purpose of bringi ig, about na
tional dishonor, repudiation and anarch
y. During 'all the struggle for national
life thatparty labored to cripple the pub
-
lie defense by dpstroyiug the ' public
credit.' it proclaimed the debt illeal,
declared it'nover would, be paid,' and it
is now devoted to the...same, purpose.—
The other places the publiO credit in,
jeopardy, not with the intention of Ke
cipitating repudiation, :hut ignorantly,
recklessly, with ideas inflated by paper
money until it imagines the national re
sources boundless, and thilt the addition
of one-third or one-half-to the real am
ount of the debt is a matter of no eon
seqbence.
- They who have an earnest and au in
,
telligent regard for the public faith will
.»ot, large its already enormous debt
nor (ripple i i ts means of pa
T yment.—
he. will keep the currency at its pres
ent volume until the. currency debt is
'paki - off. Fintincial genius, if applied
to this policy instead of to that of enlarg
ing the debt, can offer inducements in
ye way of interest on short bonds, to
be exchanged fortliese currency notes
(it maturity, so that they can be kept
Afloat till they can be redeemed and can
celled. That is the policy of national
honor and of payment. The other is
mali&ous repudiation on one side, and
on the - other a hazardous! expansion ' of
the debt, and a wild exberinient upon
the.enduranee and abili y of, the coun

THE TENDENCIES OF BUSINEM—

I tqls scarcely ever been equalled. The
corn and potato crops are not likely to
lie exceptions, while the grass crop, the
importance of which, as a general thing
we do not sufficiently apreciate, is very
abundant. And the cotton crop, top, it
is now pretty •certain, will be a good
D. one. So that, all around, we are . about
crowning a year of plenty. It will take
dome mouths yet to realize the effects
of such a thing. But when we Alo it

racy
,or ..E. enns3 Jvania, n ic ~ in form
and garb, reminds _ us of tl'.e American
i
counterfeit of Boimparte, a pve alluded
to: But it more forcibly r minds us of
the stilted pron ttn ciam n'tos of the
breed of Mexican chiefs ; a l d with the
usual " God and Liberty,'' which clo
ses those Scarlet State papers, Mr. Wal
lace's Address would pass muster in the
Halls of the Montezumas as a first-class
1
Mexican doCument. He has but tivo
rivals on this Continent—Henry Clapp,
jr., and Mae Arone, of the Brooklyn
Eagle. i
The address is an indictment against
the Republican party, containing fif
teen counts, or allegations, 'which may
be summed up thus:
NIG°En, WITH VARIATIONS.
The itepubliean party, says Mr. Wal
lace, has perpetuated disunion, wrought
hateand discord, broken the Constitu
tion, denied the attribtitesof sovereign
ty, the right of Pennsylvania to regu
late suffrage, made the negro equal to
the white man in all public places, put
the destinies of ten million whites into
the hands oe four million
,blacks, squan
dered •the public funds, increased the
burden of taxation, ruined trade, des
troyed the independence off' the Presi
dent, ribbed the 'people of sovereign,
power, and loosed corruption in every
department of the Government.
We hope the reader has swallowed
the above black draught withotit brea
thing, and so imbibed its entire aroma.
It is aneat arraignment of a patty hol
ding the laboring oar, and evidently by
a lawyer, who und(irstands that in ca
ses where it is difficult to establish the
guilt of an •accused, there should, be a
'multitude of allegations.. The subject
.matter, too, seems familiar as we read;
and, to disarm, or confirm, the growing
suspicion, we .refer to the 'former ) ad
dreSses issued by Mr. Wallace during
his two years of leadership, and /find
this fourth and latest-born*of his tians
cendant genius constitutes the quartet,
being in n i pmber four, and in substance
one and indivisible.
This fact, however, does not much
matter. Mr. Wallace has the copyright
of his utterances, knd may republish as
often as it suits him. The quality, of
his utterances is bad. He Ss a reckless
accuser. Of the whole number of of
fences charged, in his elaborate indict
ment, upon the Republkatt party, Mr.
Wallace cannot establish a single one
without first impeaching the party wi th
which he himself acts and for whose re
turn to power he is now labeling. I B
sides, his appeal comes too late; the
people of Pennsylvania bavetwice con
sidered these charges at the polls, an •
twice havee - they rendered a verdict o
NOT GUILTY.,
Where was Mr. Wallace that he di
not hear the rendering, of that verdic
in 1865 ?- Where, tit, he did hear tha
of 1866? These chest es were preferrei
by him, substantially, in both years
and upon those issues were both can
palgus made. -We call his at ention t

In his close Mr. Wallace incites to la
bor. He counsels less talking and more
work. Never.was better advice tender
ed. The orators of that party losevotes
+ery time they open their lips. Their
principles will pot bear discussion. It
cannot be true, as he declares, that the
rineiples of his, party are eternal aid
'ust prevail. We have believed that
t le devil was - under isome sort of sub-
Mg
etion to the higher powers ; but if the
rinciples of Wallace and his party are
eternal qhrii3tianity must be a failure,
and the doctrine of Ornnii)ot,ent Good
a fallacy. No ; rather let God be true, ,

Mr.. John Son bad previously entitled

he is about to reorganize .his Cabinet,

outrage which he may attempt. It is
well that we have a Congress to defend

We notice in the Corning Journal - of
,Saturday that the Tioga tt. R. Co., and
the Bbissburg and. Corning R. R. Cd.,
have locked horns again, , mid that both
parties seem 'determined , to fight it mit.
The Journal says that by - the contract
'each party is bound to,permit the tran
sit of trains - over-the road of the'other,
paying at the rate of m) cent per mile
per ton of coal. 4110. entire distance is
41 miles, the Tioga rod haVing 26 miles,
and the R. &C. 13 miles. lii 1865; Mr.
Magee built a mile of track ; to connect
with the N. Y.-& R., ; at Corning,
the Morris Run:,ContCorepany . paying
him 5 ceett4at- ten toll for passing their
coal over mile of road. This
amounted,- to,' about $4O daily, until, the
Ist of January last, when the ',Morris
Run Compri:4, , refused to run-over the
" Corning, lodger, and used the
main track of the Ant. R. Last week
Mr. 'Magee refuSed to permit the Tioga
trains to connect with the Erie track at
the usual poin - Ond four or five loaded
trains are now lying locked in at Corn
ing, not being able to connect with ei
ther road. The Journal says that
,the
contract - seems to sustain the Tioga R.
R. Co., but Mr. Magee contends that
the Tioga Company are obliged by its
terms to use the iiew mile NOM' he has
built, and pay him his toll. The Whole
matter is to go into courts.
