The Pafdy „ o1 " Grea * : *' aral Ideas."
This.immaculate party has again illustrated
it* boasted purity by its choice of George
Landon , the preacher politician of tonnage
tax celebrity,. as its representative in the
Senate of Pennsylvania. Probably Dot a
single voter who contributed to this re6ult
doubQrd &r one moment that Landon's sud
den conversion to the side of the tonnage
tax repeal was accomplished by force of the
seven thousand reasons that the Vice Pres
idents! the Penn'a. Rail R iad Co., was then
and there furnishing, out of funds that ac
tually belonged to the State, for the enlight
enment of such senators and representatives
as needed such appliances to enable them to
appreciate the great excellence of the uion
stroiM swindle. Less than seven thousand
reasons were not enough to convince a Sena
tor whose opposition to the measure had
been so strenuous, and whose denunciations
of the whole scheme as a grand fiaud that
was being accomplished by the most shame
less bribery and corruption, bad been so pub
lie aDd so frequent, even up to the very hour
of bie sudden conversion, as had been those
of the pious senator whose immaculate puri
ty batf been again endorsed by the party of
''great moral ideas."
TBe'evidence that has been made public
of Landdn's connection with that abomina
tion is so overwhelming that no intelligent
voter acould possibly entertain a rational
doubt of H ; and yet there is much evidence,
more damning still against tho Judas who i
lold'his State for seven thousand pieces of
silver, to which comparatively little publicity
has been given, on 1 account of motives of
delicaey on part of the witnesses.
But what a comment upon the honesty
and integrity of the party that supported
bitri*! a pitfj that arrogates all the purity of
motfve, and all the patriotism that it has
pleased God to vouchsafe to mankind. This
party selects this creature,stained and black
ened all over with the reproach and disgrace
of his connection wfth this great public
swindle, a swindle that himself, declared
over and over again was being perpetrated
by meahs of wholesale Bribery and corrup
tloo.as its representative in the senate, the
very scene of the monstrous public outrage
thai be there heTpiil to consummate. With
the brand still upon his brow, a stain tint
is paleot to every eye, be is yet sustained
and supported by bis party aud bis church.
Bui we deaire to do no injustice to the repub
licans in those Districts that cast him off-
Especial honor to BiaKi.trim and Northuiore
land ; townshfs that refused to recognize
the right of.their party to bind them like
alavea to the support of a corrupt dema*
gogauwhohad already betraved and suld
them. In view of the fact ihat in this Sen
atonal District, wherein the republican will
ia Supreme, no man can be found to represent
it except one who vainly seeks to cover up
the abominable deformity, and to disguise
the putrid 6lench of a rotten reputation un
der tho garb of pr estly sanctity, we feel like
thanking God that there are some townships
in which that party has declined to prostrate
itself before the Juggernaut of party despot
ism. We feel like awarding ample credit to
those republicans wt-o thus refused to trample
honor, truth, and self respect in the dust at
the btdJing of the ol'gaichy that manipulates
and control* their party machinery. They
have proven that they are the kind of men
to whom the interests of the State may be
safely committed. Though they differ with
ih* democracy upon many questions of public
policy, they have proven their honesty ; and
and in the hands ol an honest people, the
country and its institutions will be safe, how
aver they may differ upon questions of
expediency. Had the entire republican
party bee-u composed of men like these, the
multitudinous evils that hare followed its
triumph and attended its disastrous reign
would have been avoided, and the country
would now be as prosperous and happy, aud
the public burdens as light as they were when
that party first came into power.

DARK DATS FOR ENGJ.AND.— England's
period Of trials and tribulations appeals to
I* rapidly approaching. The threatened
Irish rebellion Has begun to stir np the offi
cios of the Government, while the cattle
plague has been made the subject of a special
player by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and
other Church dignitaries have made the
scourge the subject of other supplications.—
Ad tiuonal cases of cholera have occurred at
Southampton, but although kindred com
plaints affect a large surrounding di'rict, the
pfcst has, so far, been prevented from rxtend
ing. * A number of cases of yellow fever have
occurred at Swansea. A man who arrived in
•*Cuba*ves>el died in the town, and irorn that
case ton or twHfe ethers occurred in ihe
c-.urae of two week*. With all these troubles
and misfortunes threatening, the English
paripleare too re to be pitied than envied.

TIIE NATIONAL FINANCES.
Secretary AlcCulloch s Opinion of Tliem. '
The Cincinnati Gazette publishes n Speech '
made by Secretary McCulloch tt FIT; Wayne,'
lndisra, on Wednesday night v>f la*t week.
in which he gives his views on the national
finances. He said he was not one of those
who seem to repudiate coin as a measure of
value, and loTJbkc* sound paper currency
the standard ; on the contrary, he belonged
to that class of persons who, regaidtngan
exclusive mctalic currency as an impractica
ble thing among enterprising and comm. rcial
pec pie, nevertheless look upon an irredeema
ble currency as an evil which circumstances
may for a time render necessary, but which
is never to be sustained as a policy. By the
common consent of nations, gold and silver
are the only two measures of value, they are
the recessary regulators of trade.
lie favored a well secured con vert able pa
per currency. No other can to any extent
be a proper substituie for coin. It is not
expected that there shall be a dollar in coin
in reserve for every dollar of paper in circu
lation ; this is not necessary. Fr all ordi
nary home transactions paper currency is
sufficient ;but there are constantly occurring
periods when the balances between coun
tries, and in the United States between the
different sections, must be settled in coin.—
These balances are insignificant, in Compari
son with the tiansactions out of which they
arise, and when a vicious system of credit
does not to long postpone settlements,' they
are orraoged without disturbing the move
ments of coin. Whenever specie is needed
for this | urpose, or for any other purpose,
the paper currency of the country should be
convertible into it , and a circulation not so
convertable will not be, and ought not to be
tolerated by the people.
The present unconvertable currency of the
United Slates was a necessity of war ; but
now that the war has closed, and the Gov
ernment ought not to be a borrowe., the
currency should be brought up to a specie
standard ; and he saw no way of doing it
bnt by w.thdrawing a portion of it from cir
culation lie had no faith in a prosperity
which was the effect of a depreciated curren
cy; uorcouid he see any safe path to tread
but that which leads to specie paj'tnents.—
The extreme high prices now prevailing indi
cats that the business of the country is in an
unhealthy condition. We are measuring
values by a false standard. We have a cir
culating modicin altogether larger thao is
needed for legitimate business, and the ex
cess is used in specula ton.
The United States is to day the best mar
ket in the world for foreigners to sell ID.—
The consequence is that Europe is selling us
more than he buys of us, including our se
curities which ought not to go abroad, and
there is a debt rullitig up against us that
must be settled in part at least in coin. The
longer tne inflation continues the more diffi
cult it will be for us to get back to specie
payments, to which we must return sooner
or la!e r . If Congress shall, early in the ap
proaching session, authorize the funding of
the legal tenders, and the wok l reduction
is commenced, and cheerfully and prudentlv
cartied on we shall teach ii probably with
out injury and etnb.irassrmnt o legal bu-i
ness. Il not we shall have a brief period id
seductive prosperity, resulting in a wide
spread binkruptaney and disaster He spoke
of the evil tendency of the present inflation
on the public morals, converting the business
of ihe country into gambling and seriously
diuiin'shing the labor ol the country. We
are apparently getting richer when morality
languishes and the productive industry of
the country is being diminished. He was
hopeful that by wiss legislation we will e*
cape a financial collapse, and the currency
may be brought to the specie standard with
out these financial troubles which have in all
countries followed protracted and exiensive
wars.
Down in the Mouth.
Notwithstanding the recent election of the
Republican Si ate ticket, the knowing Re
publicans feel no disposition to be in the least
jubilant over the result. The reason is ob
vious. As ihey tun the eye over the col
umns of figures indicating the vote in the
different counties, and c in pa re these with
the numbers rolled up by them in these
same localities one year ago, they see a ter
rible "falling off" in the'r vote. They know,
too, i hat as a general thing, their voters
were at the polls ; and they know that a very
large part of the Democratic voters of the
State were not at the election; and while
they claim the resul as a victory, they feel
that another such victory would almost an
nihilate them as a party. In a few counties
where local divisions and disaffection in the
Democratic-Tanks have greatly reduced our
majorities, they affict to rejoice over the re
sult. But even these rejoicing* iftre not tree
from fear* and tremblings. In one thing
they have found themselves disappointed.
The soldiers vote which in the array they
Could control at will, is no longer in their
power. These returned soldi irs, at the late
election, did what many of them had not
done while in the army—voted as they
pleased. The result w:s thu the mass of
them voted the Democratic ticket. In Phil
adelphia aud Allegheny counties *1 n* their
majorities were reduced nearly 9000, aid
thia was in a great measure by the vote of
the returned soldiers. No wonder Republi

No one need wonder much at the low state
of Religion on the one hand, and the growth
of infidelity on the other, who visits some of
our principal churches now a-days. We wilt
find the cause to be mainly in the unfaithful-'

the neur approach of a fatal schism in their
party falls like a wet blanket upon their j
prospective hopes and aspirations.
On the other hand, fhe Democrats take
the defeat of their State ticket with great j
calmness and philosophical composure.— j
They know lull we!i that a better day is
coming, and that the time is not (ar distant
when the great Constitutional principles on
which their party is based, and which cannot
be permanently destroyed, wiil again be itr
the ascendant in the State and -in the Union,
and the reins of government be seized and j
held by the followers of Jefferson, of Jackson
and of Polk. It is this conviction which
buoys their sp>rits up It is the strong and
abiding faith they have in tne ultimate
triumph of truth and the right which cheers
them onward in fhe discharge of their duty,
amid the gloom of a temporary defeat, and
induces them never to despair of the Republic
but to labor on, and labor ever, in the good
old cause which raised our country to what
it is among the nations of the earth, and
that sooner or later will reassert its supre
macy. For. .

The eternal years ot God are hers j

THE NEXT CONGRESS.— The Chic-go Re

members of the nex Congress., The Senate

Democrats, with ono seat vacant in lowa
Four Sou<hern States have elected Uriow
senators, hut whether they will be received
or not is a quest i n yet t.• be de'ermined
In the IL u*e there exiato three vacancies in
the delegations of loyal Stales, one caused by
the appointment of Mr. Goocb, of Massachu
setts, to the office of surveyor of ihe port of
Boston, one by the appoinunent of Mr. .Web
ster, of Maryland, as collector of Baltimore,
ami one by the (act that the ft suit of the
election in Nevada has not been heard of ;
but alb these vacancies will soon he. filled by
loyal men of a so called radical complexion,
most probably". According fe Ihe party di
visionVhat existed during tbe war.the House
now stands one hundred and for*y Republi

great question of at once admitting the rep
resentatives of 'he SouthT" S* ; es on keeping

proportions will he preserved. From the

cept, perhaps, Texas will have gone through
the forms, of n const rqpi ing their constitu
tions and electing members of b -th houses
of Congress before the seco-;d Monday of De
cemher, when the sessions opens. Should all
the States now without Representatives, whose
senators and representatives are yet to be
elected, choose Democrats opposed to univer
sal snffiage, as it is to be pxpetMed they will
do, and should they all be admitted, the Sen
ate will then contain forty seven Republicans
and twenty-seven Democrats, ard the House
