I'reside'it Johnson, although ho would have been jiiititbd by the uni. limn practice ol firmer administration., in doing all they had expected of him, has adopted a programme for which the radicals were totally unprepared.

The mystery of banking and ex change is here very cleverly shown : On the banks of tho noble Susoue. haiiua htands the pleasant village of Clearfield. J.iko all places of its kind, it has its nierchauts and its banker, and, naturally enough, the merchant depos. its his funds iu bank until his necessi. ties require them. An instance of sharp practice, in this connection, oc curred thete a short time ago, which is worthy of mention. Mr. M., a nier. chant, being on the eve of starting to Philadelphia to purchase goods, called upon Mr. K., his banker, for a large amount of funds which ho had from time to tiimi deposited, and which he uow would have occasion to use. Hav ing to travel some distance by stage, Mr. t. was advised by Mr. K. not to risk carrying the money, but to pur chase a draft on a banker in the city. Although exchango was worth ono per ccut.,yet Mr. K. kindly agreed to charge him only five-eights, whereupon the draft was accepted. The next morn, ing, as Mr. M. was taking his placo in tho stage, ho was hailed by K., with, " I say, 51., I have a small package I wish you would carry to Philadolphiafor me." 51. willingly took charge of the pack age, aud liuding it addressed to tho same party upon whom tho draft was drawn, made no delay in delivering it upon his arrival iu the Quaker City. Groat was his surprise, however, when the gentlemanly bauker proceeded to cash his draft by coolly opcuing the package ho had himself carried, taking from thcuce tho amount of hib deposits at home, less five-eights per cent., and handing it to him with a polite "Good morniug, sir!" 51. thinks Clearfield great on baukiug, aud V.

After its organization, viz : on tho "Oth of 5Iarch, 180J, Senator Horuixs offered tho following resolu. tiou : (Sec Record, page 5 'JO.) J,so?iii7, That the Committee on Federal Relations bo instructed to bring in a joint resolution instructing our Senators and requesting our represen tatives in Congress to vote for a law re. (piiring the payment of lion-coniiiiission-cd ofiiecrs and privates in the service of the L'uited States in coin or its equiva lent. Upon this resolution Senator Cr.Y jikii, now the Democratic candidate f ir Governor, spoke as follows : (See Re ' cord, page 538.) I did not know, sir, that the Senator from Washington (Mr. Hopkins) was about to offer a resolution of this kind ; had I been aware of the fact, I might have been able to form a more correct judgment as to his iu'.entions in so do- in ix. JUSTICE TO THE SOLDIER. I presume he designed to perform an act of simple justice to those who, on the tented field, arc struggling for the maintenance of this Government, lie himself avows his intention to place this meritorious class of our fellow-c:tizens, so far as relates to their pay, upon a looting witli those sleek, well paid, well ted, truly loyal, aud most discreet gen. tlcmcu who, in this time of trial, are idling sunny hours in tho courts of Eu rope as our foreign ministers, whilo the soldier is enduring the pains, the trials and the dangers of a campaign. Con- teniplato the picture ; tho one class clothed in purple and paid in gold, the other clad in homespun and paid in greenbacks I The ouo surrounded by all the luxury which gold can buy, the other in their individual persons and in their families, enduring all tho want and misery which paper money everentails! An unprejudiced observer, sir, would not, it seems to me. bo likely to attri bute any siuistcr or improper niotivo to one who atteipts to equalizo in some degree tho condition of these two clas. ses. Surely, sir, the disparity between one hundred and sixty dollars a year the wages of tho soldier paid in green backs and ihe salaries cf our foreign ministers, ranging from seven to twenty thousand a year, paid in gold, is of such magnitude that it should not be " dis. loyal" to attempt to equalize it. TALK AND NO WORK. To me, sir, it is strange, passing strange, that those who proless o much love for the soldier, who are externally parading themselves as the " soldiers' friends," who would mako the soldier believe that every one outside tho palo ot their political communion is his ene my, whose whole stock iu trade is to yell that they are " loyal," and to boast that they love the soldier better than wile or child, should here to-day resist a pro position so lair and just. JJy jour deeds you shall be tried. Honeyed words ot flattery cost nothincr. lo sus tain this resolution and the enactment ot its purpose iuto a law, might impose somo slight additional taxation upon your " loyal " gentleman, and that would cost something. You cannot afford that. Oh ! no ! Fulsome praise, lauda tiou without stint that you can give : it is iu your line ; but when the soldier asks for the means wherewith to supply his wife and httlo ones with the bare necessaries of life which, owing to the vicious system of uuauce inaugurated by Republican rulrs, have been raised to fabulous prices you turn your backs upon him and brand as " disloyal " every man who dares to advocate his claims. 1 hat is a species ot disloyalty of which I, for one, am neither ashamed nor afraid. If it bo "disloyal'" to stand by, guard, protect and defend the poor aud humble against the rich and powerful ; to be in favor of the soldier rather thau of a shoddy contractor, then 1 am disloyal. It is a kind of disloyal ty of which you, gentlemen on the Re publican side, will never be accused by those who kuow you. Where the spoils arc, thero will your hearts bo also. USURPATION in the senate. Possibly, sir, tho Senator from Wash iugton offered the resolution with an ad ditional motive that was, to relieve hiuiscll, and those who act with him po litically, irom the base aud unfounded Charge that we were opposod to au iu crease of tho pay of tho soldier. Jl'hen this Seuate was unorganized, as wo then helieveu, aud as you subsequeutly ad mitted by proceeding to elect a Speaker a resolution was offered on the opposito side of this chamber, instructing our Senators aud requesting our Reprcsen tatives in Congress, to vote for a bill in creasing tho pay of tho soldiers. H'e then voted against it, as under similar circumstances we would to-day. He told you then that by no vote of ours would we ever recognize your high- hauded act of usurpation. We told you we would vote against any aud every resolution, even should you offer one asserting tho divinity ot God him self, lie stood up for a principle, and we triumphed, louollered the rcso. lution, us you offered others, for the purpose of making clap trap capital against us amongst tho soldiers aud others. You paraded our vote through out the State as a high crime aud a sin when you knew in your hearts that every representation yoi made, as to our position, was simply talsc. uut the resolution of the Senator from Hash. ingtou has unearthed you. It hns stir red up a fearful commotion amongst tho ranks ol tho faithful. You gnash your teeth in impotent rage, and are ' ,i ... ;,i. ... i . i '. i l -I. X- swollen up wan uninscnnrgcu one. ion rave and fume and sweat all to no purpose, gentlemen. We intend to ex. pose your duplicity, and wo have done llenro those tears. 1 advise you to cover your intentions in some more skillful way, or I shall again draw aside the flimsy veil which shields you lroni open contempt. PAY THE PRIVATE SOLDIER. But, sir, what will be the effect ol the resolution should Congress enact a law in accordance with its spirit ? Will it not bo precisely what you gentlemen forced us to vote against, when you at tempted usurpation 'I The soldier will ho paid in coin or its equivalent; that is to say, his wages will bo increased by the difference between gold and green backs. If gold at the end of any month is sixty per cent, above greenbacks, tho common soldier will receive twenty dol- irs and eighty cents, instead of thirteen dollars, for his. mouth's services. If you were honest in your proposition to increase Ins pay, how can you object; v hen he entered the service, his pay was thirteen dollars per month iu gold, for then gold was uot above par. The esolution simply proposes to keep our plighted faith with the most mentori. ous of all pnblio servants ; with him who defends our homos and firesides. Tell me, gentlemen, were you honest or dis honest in your proposition ? You shall not evade nu answer by calling mo dis loyal. The word has no terrors for me. Three years ago you paid tho foreigu minister and the private soldier in gold. II hy, to-day, do you continue to pay him who is basking and revelling in tho smiles ot royalty, and refuse it to him w ho, amid the roar ot cannon and a storm of bullets, is battling in your de fence ? Answer mo if you dare. He will uot be deterred from making the inquiry by threats or denunciations. H o on this side ot the chamber claim for ourselves as much interest in and devotion to the Government founded upon the Constitution as you claim to possefs. He do not impugn your mo tivcs ; you shall uot ours. He are not to be cajoleu or intimidated here or elsewhere. He are your peers and equals here and every place. He know our rights and will maintain them. H o will stand by the Constitution and Un. ion of these States, and wo tell you, aye, we charge it upon you, that you are the ouly men who would destroy both. Charges are constantly made against us of want of fidelity to tho Govern ment, of sympathy with treason, and of aiding the rebellion. He defy you to make them good. This matter had better bo understood and settled here aud now. It is true, wo are not the slaves of any administration. You shall not set the blacks free and cuslave white men. nv kuow no tiovcrnmcnt whica is uot based upon tho Constitution, and we will neither obey nor be " loual to auy other. Is my language sufficiently precise ' is it clear .' 1 do uot wish to be misunderstood. I am not " Ivual" to any administration ; I am ever bo to true government, founded upon and acting in accordance with tho Constitu tion, of which it is tho mere creature aud cxponeut. 51 ire than this, you nor any living man can not demand of any ouc. lo uo so is to make yourselves musters and thoso of whom you make toe demand sluccs. He wish you to fully understand that you shall never exercise any such power over us. Ihe History or tne past should teacn you that tho race to which we belong may possibly bo exterminated, out never en slaved. Senator Clymerand every other Dcm ocrat voted for this resolution, and the Disunion Senators voted to kill it by amending it, and having a majority, ef fected its amendment, and thus defeat ed the original proposition.
