As soon as the Democracy succccd II the control of tbo government, the Jjomlid aristocracy created by tin* Radical party will be compelled to pay taxed on their wealth, like other peo ple.

Withdrawing tbo currency and funding it iuto bonds iu running the country in debt, by increasing the in terest. To issue fifty millions of currency to be used in buyiuu up iutrrcst bearing )jouds, would be a .step towards a re duction of the national debt, at least to ^kc extent of the interest on the bonds. It would chango the currcnt ofmou ey, and force it to expand to where it js most needed. West Virginia's Orator. S. WALKER AT CULMP0L1S. The Issues or the Day. At the grand Democratic mooting at pallipolis, Ohio,on the 21st ult..a large pumbcr of the people of this State were prcscut. Henry S. Walker,of Charles ton, being among the number, was .called on for a spcech, and in rcspouao, fnade a most admirable one, of which jbe following is an abstract: He commenced by saying that lie came puly as a citizen of a neighboring State to witucss the demonstration,not to par ticipate in the discussion,.butdeferiiug ?o the desire universally expressed,that something should be said in testimony of the interest felt by West Virginians in the Ohio campaign, ho yielded; though feeling the inadequacy of words Jo express that interest. He alluded to tho isolation of the State; but said t'lat iu spito of this isolation, the people jvere alive to the vital issues of the day, and by no means behind hand in inter est in that wbicb concerns the whole pountry. "For example, sir," said he, "wc can un derstand readily why the people of this countrv should uncnd their treasure like wa jcr nnu shed tho blood of their best and bra .vest to preserve their territory intact and to transmit the Republic unimpaired to poster ity. Hut we cannot understand how, when lhe treasure and the blood hare been so suc cessfully expended, subjugation uud ruin should lie brought upon the very Stales which have been sought to he saved to the Union. We cannot understand why the bayonet should be established as tho supreme legislator, home rule overthrown, govern incuts set up iu which the unscrupulous carpet-bagger, the worthless scalawag, and jL'ie ignorant negro with the ten thousand clustering infamies of their ndiuiuistrution, arc made supreme over the people of those Slates. He cannot understand why, with out material effort us one of the legitimate jconssqueiiccs of the war, and in accordance \vitu the prevailing belief that the Republic could not comiuue one-half slave and, pnc-talf free, the mancipation of the' negro should be guaranteed, us well as his protection in nil tho rights of citizenship be. fore the courts ol the country, liut we fail to grasp the wisdom of the plan for enforc ing the equality of the races by degrading and disgracing the while?[applauseJ?set ting aside State courts for the benefit ol thu "black, placing the entire Federal judiciary at his command, maintaining a standing army to'glorify Culfand serve him forever ?[applause and laughter J?hanging odious i>uims and penalties over the heads ot those who modestly believe that iu the hotel, in the church, the theatre, the public convey ance and cemetery the while man has some rights which the Idaek man ought to re spect. [Lanehtcr.] And then alluding to the disguise, which is assumed by the Radical, ho Bays: "Among the most hallowed i?nssa"os ol our lountry'a history arc those which ru[? rcscut the fathers of she Republic as liarmou iziug their public duties with the precepts of religion uud administering the Govern* jnent under tiie guidance and l>y the blessing of God, leaving to future times their lives tis the beit possible example of genuine Chili iiati statesmanship, la nil the intrigues nnd corruption of party politics, ii remained for the leading politicians of the present par ty in power to adopt Christian statesman ship as a proliK.-?ion, making il a garb with which to cover the arts and content the cor ruptions ol ihe demagogue-and mountebank.

[Apjliusc aud laughter.] We extract litis much of Mr. Walk er's speech to show how, behind all other (jUestioDS which the lladicals arc desirous of f pringing upou the people, the Democrats of this State are not uuiuitidful of the issue which lies main ly between the two parties, the only issue which can exist, viz: that be tween Radicalism and Democracy. lint regarding the .special issue which the Republicans are desirous of making, that of the currency, lie is very explicit. After alluding to John T. 11 oilman's carrying the State of New York, in 1SG8, upon a greenback platform, he shows Low the West Vir ginians feel on this subject, ns follows: "In New England, and notably in the State of Connecticut, the Democratic party has never lest ground by taking sides with the people, ami as against special legislation in behalf of the privileged aud moneyed classes. Ilut for an emphatic answer to tie; sneer that nobody but the howling idiots, the red-headed uud red-mouthed lunatics of the State of Ohio care for fiuaneial relief, go to thu Virginias, where the people without a word Iroin campaign committees have been ?riving this subject calm and careful reflec tion. Ask the lumbermen of Elk river or the Guvandotte, ask the salt-boiler or coop er of Kanawha, why they have left their vo cation, traveling 00 miles to look upon lhi? demonstration; ask Jackson ami Mason and Putnam why they have left thvir hay in the meadow, their wheat in the shock, t''eir waving corn, and their cattle grazing upon a thousand hills, to take part in this work, and they will tell you that it u bccause the Ohio Democracy hate renewed the strugglo of the people against monopoly and privi leged classes?[cheers J?vindicating the dignity of labor against the nrrogauco of money. The Ohio Democracy are lighting Virginia's light, the light of toil and pover ty wherever it may sweat aud suffer, and that in this magnificent contest they esteem it not only a duty, but a high and holy privclege, to stand by the side of the cham pions of the people to cheer theui with their voiccsjand aid them wi'.h their arms." [Ap plause.] And again, speakiorr of tho crcdit which Koston and the Hast take in tho overthrow of the "alavcoeruey," ho says "they have cstablijhcd in its stead a more griuding monopoly;" _n moneyed power to which all that is produced must pay tribute. "I Is shackles are upon white limbs. Its stripes nrc.lnid upon the shoulders of toil; its burdens are placed upon production. Its auction l?loc!?3 are ret up in Hall street and .Suite street, nml the coantcrs ot the mouey changers, it drinks in the tears of those suf fering people. It requires you to sow that others may reap. It requires you to nuke bricks without straw, as was required in the days of Egyptian bondage; and in those days great plagues Tell upon tho oppressor until there was a great cry heard through out thu land, for there was not u house where there was not one dead, so in our day may National calamity prove the mcaus of relaxing the rule of the oppressor. In the wrath ol an outraged people shall he heard a voice scarcely less terrible than that which fell up on the ears of the Pharouh: 'Thus said the Lord God of the [JlJebrcws, let my people go.'" [Applause ] The Speaker proceeded in this strain to show the dullness of busings?, and tho paralyzation of trade, which re sults frotu tho contraction policy of tho Radicals. Then proceeding to portray,, iu glowing terms, tho cilcct of misrule in the South, he concludes: "No more auspicious time than tho present could be chosen for rendering a popular ver dict which shall show to the people of the South that henceforth they stand upon nil equal footing upon the soil of the United States and under the protection of the Con stitution; that henceforth they arc to be at liberty, like tho people of every other sec tion of the country, to regulate their domes tic affairs free from Federal interference or control. 1 he Republic is closing the first century of her existence. Let not the Centennial dawn upon Ihc States under despotic rule or cities under the ban of public distrust, or wearing thu badgeef servitude in the laud of their birth. We have here but one life to liv ?, one country to lov*, one Government to preserve, one destiny to achieve. Let us, iu walking the ways appointed for us in the Providence of God, cudcavor to live and act ns one people, one in our desire for the pub lic good, one in our respect for individuals. As Uoston and Charleston clasping hands within the shadow of Hunker Mil', c*.t an cient enmity to the winds, and renewed their forefathers' faith n.nid the scenes and over the ashes of Kevolutiouary heroism, so willI the people cf the respective sections, banishing all prejudice nud all uucliaritu blenesi, gather in the happiness of Nation al jubilee around the altars of reconcilia tion and peace, and plight there each to the other that troth of confidence aud love which shall till the land with the meriiincut of marriage bells, binding prosperity with iu iuiluenecs, and enduring through the centuries to Idcss and pon*tuute the He public. I thank you, friends, for your at tention. [Applause.] We cannot iu so condensed a form, show to auy advantage the parts touch ed on by Mr. Walker. The extracts we have made, lnwever, show very dearly the drift of his remarks, as well as tho fact that tho pet pic of West Virginia are in cutirc sympathy with the Uhi i Democracy, and tin t the contest there is watched iu th:s Slate with unusual interest. spcccli lly Governor Allen. Governor William Allen, of Ohio, bciug iu Newark ou Saturday, was in duced by the Democrats there to make them a speech. Though the weather was hut, and the hall crowded, the Governor spoko for about a half an hour. Tho following condensed re port of hi.s remarks will be read with considerable interest at this time, lie began by overhauling the Republican party for its misdoings, and for the present condition of afl'airs in tho country, lie called attention to the fact that this party alone had entire I and'absolute control of the Federal Government for more thau fifteen yearn, and whatever dRsted to day, whether of good or evil, uiu.'t bo laid nt the door of that party. The Demoerucy h:)VO had but little eltio to do but pay tho taxes. .Now, paid lie, ''if tho condition of the American ih'o|iIu is |>ro?|>?roitj ami happy; il no laiui !.?< liiseoiilcnlcU ; it no man ij ilij i if time ij no i'li<|Uu or liiij; iliurp '' ? >' 1 ? .-!? ?. ?? . ?iiuur: '!?? null lie. tuxes; if every man who wants to work is employed and well paid : if every factory is running, with its blazing fires throughout the entire day; if the farmer*, without being burdened by taxes, are Scap ing the full rewards of their hard labor in the long summer suushine, nnd have enough to subsist and educate their families ; if ev ery fanner linds liiis farm without mortgage, liiniseIf w ithout debt, ready to extend the baud of Iraternity to an unfortunate neigh bor; if this be the rendition of iiffuirs, then we ought to thank the Republicans for bring ing this state of things about.'' lie then drew a picture of affairs as they really exist; Allowed up the bane ful blight which had been spread oyer tho Southern States; the taxes which had been been literally piled upon the people everywhere, and the extrava gance which had characterized the lie publican adminitration. He next alluded to the numerous de falcations which are constantly coining t) light, nnd said that if a pauper, gwidci by hunger of himself and fami ly, bhoul 1 .steal a loaf of bread, he would bo branded and punished as a thief, but ifa government official should steal a hundred thousand dollars of the peoples' mouey his crime was dignified, and be was not called a thief, but a de faulter, and, said he, "a crime don't change its character by being nick named." The Governor next touched upon the question about which so much hue and cry is made : that of the currency, lie alluded to the fact that tho Radical party is trying to raise a great hubbub about "rog money," and he asks, ' Who made this money?'' Krery dollar of it from beginning to end, was made by tho party who aro now clam oring against it. The Republicans made it; the llcpublicans made it a le gal tender, and put it in circulation, and now they arc loud in their efforts to repudiate their own bantling. "They nrc trying to tiring their own spawn into contempt, nnd in doing that, fhoynro doing ft good deal more than they think they are doing. Now, "rag money,-' as they call it, is a promise of the United .States to pay. That is nil it is. A bond of the United Status is n promise to pay; a bond cf the State of Ohio or the city of Cincinnati is a promise to pay ; all the railroad bonds of the Uejiublic arc promises to pay. They all stand upon the same foundation ofcrcdit, and the men who undertakes to discredit the notes of his government, discredits the entire amount of onr private nnd corpora tion indebtedness as well; the individual notes of it people who will not pay their public indebtedness will he worth but little in the money markets of the world." He then spoko of tho immense amount of comiuerco nil over the civi lized world, which is done on credit, and completely refuted the absurd sto ry that the Democratic party was in favor of repudiation, lie said that if repudiation came at all it would come from the Republican ranks, and if their bantling died, it would be through their own bad nursing. Next he touchcd on the dismissal from power, given by the people to their corrupt rulers last Fall, and tho tricks they wcro usiug to regain their lost prestige. lie asks what they pro pose to do ? "Nothing bnt to get Qn their kneos and ask pardon, nnd then turn nrouud nnd whisper, 'Can't wc get up something nbout Catholics? Can't wc get the great Ameri can family by the ears on some religious question? and while they uro pulling und lighting each other about religion, .-lip in and get posession of the government again ?' It we can't do this, then wc ought to com mence to pack." He again, in conclusion, alluded to tho position of tho Democracy of Ohio upon the financial question, and said that what they wanted was an abolition of tho National banks for which the people pay ?20,000,000, and an issue by the govcrumcut direct of its green backs. lie said: "The obligations of this government will all be paid. The people will not allow re pudiation in ftuy shape. Their moral sense revolts at the idea. But, say our Republican frieuds, you Democrats havo a hard money record. How can you be for "rug money" now ? I can say to them that circumstances change policies. When we were a hard money party hard money was possible, and it was lor the interest of the masses. We have been an anli-N&tiona. bank party. In Jackson's time we opposed n single National bank bccausc it was detri mental to the interests of the American peo ple. Now we have two thousand National banks, draining the life-blood of the people, why should wc not raise our voices against them ? The old National hank of Middle fattened nil'ol the poculiar privileges grant ed to it by the Government, and our pres ent National batiks are contrivances by which the Government authorized a favored class to pluck the Government goose, ex cept the piii-l'eathere, which are left for tin people. liut who has 11 right to lay that we ?re not a lurd money party to-day? What is there in our recent tecord to con trovert that idea? There is not a Demo crat in the land who will oppose a resumi ? tion of spc:ie payment, when it can lc brought nbout without paralyzing indus tries and impoverishing und distressing the people. Ilut we do not make such an idol of metal!!*: coin us to lie willing to breed communistic revolts nud till our land with paupers to force resumption. Wc fully re alize thiit with ten thousand millions of in debtedness, public and private, nud the vast volume ol business represented by it, that speedy resumption is absolutely impossible without briugmg immense distress nud dis aster to every clash of our population except the bond holdtr and the mouey changer. The Congressional pledge of icsumption in 1970 hangs likva pall over the biisiucss of the country, l'rudent men have been Col lowing the example of contraction set by the Government. They have been drawing their means out of active business and se eming it iu real property ; they are closing up their manufactories; they refuse to go into new enterprises, and the result is that the panic of 1874, which should have had only temporary duration I ft settlcddown iiro ateosou of b siucss mostratlon, which will continue uutil the policy of the govcr mentis changed; the centiucd tft'iipeiing with lue currency chinked, and the active men of the country can have faith to resume oi>cratious without fear of being overtaken l?y rum l?y ,-overniueul interference. If resumption is reached in 1370, a steady contraction and p. steady depreciation in values must continue, aud wliat sane iuan will iuvcjt his means in business under such circutnstnticej ? Lot us reach ?]>ccie payment as speedily as possible, but lot tlio laws of busincs aud cireuiu stauccs under which we arc placed govern tl?e mutter, and not ilio special interest of the banker aud bondholder." These remarks of the Governor {?how, beyond any tioubt, I ho exact ground taken l?y his party in Ohio on this much discussed <|Ucstion, and ho gives forth an lien Uutler says, no un certain sound.
