Slate rial form adopted at Col
HiKltus, Januarys.
Resolved, That not withstanding the enor
mous and concedod frauds in tho creation
of tho public debt, the faith of the country
is pledged to its payment, principal and in
terest, according to the Uu nis- ot tho sever
al acts of Congress, under which the bonds
representing the debt were issued, but not
otherwise, and wo are opposed to any plan
for extending tho times of pavuunt, thus
increasing (lie amount of gold interest to
more than the principal, or torfiny declara
tion by Congress tlmt'the principal is paya
ble in goldi which would virtually add
more than n thousand millions to the burth
en of the debt, and to the whole insane
financial policy of which these measures
are a part.
Rksolveis Tlint, neither forgetting nor
denying our ancient faith that gold mid
silver coin form the currency of the Con
stitution, we declare that the five-twenty
bonds, should be paid in tho same curren
cy received by the Government for their
issue, and that by the withdrawal of the
monopoly grunted to the National Banks
this result can bo iiccoinplit-liod without an
undue or dangerous incrcaaa of paper
money, now the only circulating medium,
thus relieving our people i'roni tho burthen
of a debt, the tendency of which is always
to corrupt and enslave, anrt our Govern
ment from the reproach of paving a favor
ed class in gold, while discharging ils debts
(o all others, including pensions to widows
and soldier.s, in an interior currency.

law, impairs no contract, breaks no faith,
und instead of retarding a return to specie
payments, is tne shortest because the only
sale way of reselling that end.
Rkholvkti. That all the property ol the
country, including tho Government bonds,
which receives tlio eriual protection ot the
Government, should bear an equal share
in us burthens.
Congressional Platform adopted k

Resolved, That the Democracy of tho Six

and the nominations of Horatio Seymour
for President und Frank P. Blair for Vice

What A Vutc For Ciranl Is!
Hie folbwipg coPoquy as a sample is adyta
of the arguments u d nnw-a-days by the
two faction-. A laboring man was talking
the other day to a crowd of his fcllnwinen,
when he was interrupted by a BomlhoMer
with "Do yon what a vote for Grant i'"
Mr. Bondholder evidently expected tQ an
swer the question hiru.seli, hut tho laboring
man being nothing but an "ignrrant Demo
crat," took the job off his bauds answer him
thus:
A vote for Grant is a vote to increase tho
largo puhlio debt that is new weighing us
down to continue tho Ftccdmen's Bureau
to teed lazy negroes.
A vote for Grant is a vote to put heav
ier tuxes upon our tax-ridden people to keep
up a large standing army in times of peace.
A vote for Grant is a vote to give negro
suffrage to ignorant and debased neirrees
and iniike them tho social and political
equals of the whito race.
A vote lor Grant and Uolfax is to fasten
the odious doctrines of th? llad'cal Jacobins
on tho country and to gustain niongrclism
and negro superiority. -
Bondholder. You are nothing, but nn
infernal copperhead and traitor, anyhow,
and don't know what you are talking about,
nohow, .
Laborer That may al! bo very true, but
I have two honorable discharges, and a
veteran medal, which certainly entitles mo
to be a traitor, anyhow. As to ignorance
that may bo so. but I know too. much to
vote for Grant, and take tho out of the
mouths and clothes off the backs of rny
children. I have studied the matter well
and intend to vote "the way I idiot for
Horatio Seymour, the Slate&man and Chris1
tian, and Frank Blair, the man who com
manded a oorpa I was in, and led ty hum
he Ohio to i be son.
On looking around, it was discovered
that old Bondholder had leaked out and
was nowhere to be seon, and t hat tho Union
army had possession of tho field.
LKT US HAVE PEACE!
T!ie Meaning of "Copperhead, "
"Ue1el Sympathizer," '-Let us
li avc Peace."
The Radical party is now upon trial be1
fore the great inquest of the nation. It
policy and legislation, its purposes and acts,
are fair subjects of inquiry, which cannot
be supcrPcdiidhy partisan clamor or ignor
ed by personal calumny. Tho unhippy
condition of the country, and tho disturbed
state of all our material interests, are far
too serious to bo stt aside for inferior con
sHerations. I ho people aro entitled to
know if their confidence has been "respected
or abused, nnd to claim a ' sfriet account of
the stewardship or those who aro at best
servants of the people. , t
These demands are being made, and in
stead of answering them satisfactorily tho
lxa'Jica! papers and stumpers seek to avoid
tie issue by reviving old slanders and fight
ing over again the battles of the war. The
attempt is to stifle investigation by going
back to 1800 and resurrecting men and
things that have long since passed away
Instead of confronting tho living and vital
questions upon which tho present peace
and future prosperity of the country de
pend, they resort to artful strategy in order
to evade an irksome responsibility. Ex
pedient is adopted to avoid direct answers
to the questions which an outraged people
propound; and now, when they aro called
upon to face the people in defence of a Con
grefs that has neglected publio business,
and been guilty of frauds, corruption, and
crimes, they cry out "co'pperhcad'r and
"rebel sympathizer," That is the reply
which tho country gets when it asks for an
account of the enormous revenues received,
and for any candid statement of tho "situa
tion." The Jacobins who have brought
misery and discoid, and ruin upon the lutid-
and who dare not meet the accusing voice
of a betrayed people, have adopted this cry
of "copperhead" and "rebel sympathizer,"
in the vain hope of silencing inquiry and
covering up their glaring iniquities;
When ask; bow have the fifteen hundred
millions collected from taxes and customs
since Leo's surrender been expended;
Why is there one currency for the bond
holders, and another for the pensioners and
eople;
Why the public debt has not been re
duced;
Why the faxes of mauufar'urcs and mo
nopolists have been diminished fciylity mill
ions a year, thus augmenting those of the
people;
Why a vast standing army in maintained
without any pretext of reason;
Why hava not extravagant expenditures
been stopped;
Why n"gro barbarism has been adopted
as the basis of Congressional "reconstruc
tion;"
Why Congress proposes to arm the nc.
grecs;
Why taxation has not been equalized and
reduced;
Why the bondholders shall bo a prefer
red class and exempt from taxes;
W by military rulo is prolonged in the
South;
Why negro suffrage is enforced in the
South and excluded in the North;
Why the corruptions in Congress that are
notorious and openly charged are not inves
tigated; Why Congress assumes power confsrred
by the Constitution upon tho Executive;
Why tho Supremo Court wae manacled
and its high fuctions arrested by partisan
legislation;
Why the audacious plunder and profligas
cy everywhere apparent is not checked;
Why Congress has been in session eight
months without a .ingle effort to afford
relief to the country;
Why impeachment was purued without
the semblance of justification, thus disturb
ing the credit and business of the nation;
Why retrenchment has not been intro
duced and abunts reformed;
Why trade is prostrate, credit declining,
gold going up. and commerce deranged;
Why hur.dreds of millions of money,
wrung from the poor man's labor, atfi hun
dreds of millions of acres of the publio do
main, have been voted to corporations con
trolled by memfiors of Congress;
Why Congress has subjected white men,
women and children to the rule of their
recent slaves, and thus degraded their own
flesh and blood, and to all this the answer
is "copperhead" and "rebel sympathizer;"
or that other cry, equally false and decep
tive, "Let us have peace."
This is the only answer given to these
serious questions, and to others of equal
magnitude. When those Jacobins, who
are again provoking civi' strife, and arming
the blacks for another St. Domingo, cry out
"let us have peace," they mean only, Ictus
have silence about our usurpations and in
iquities; let us have submission to our
tyranny; let us have obedience to our dicta
tion, let us have a new lease of power; let
our corruptions continue, let us build up a
military ilespotisn,; let us destroy he Con
stitution which wo have despised, and let
us rule without restraint and without li
cense until tho impending ruin, bankruptcy,
and disgrace which we have precipitated
upon the country, shall bring forth their
natural fruits.
If tho people will accept this accouht of
Eadical stewardship, they cannot bo ignor
ant of tho consequences that will folluw as
inevitably as night succeeds day.
"A colored Senator," says Sumner,
"would, be as good as a constitutional
"amendment, making all backward steps
impossible.
'J bis is the happy goal to which radical
ism leads. ,
Is it impartial suffrage to enfranchise the
Muck and uislrunehiso the white uianr
Itow to Pay the Debt.
' The treat uireiifion nt the hour is: How
to ray the debt, save the national credit and
faith, and rescue fho laboring classes from
everlasting slavery to the moneyed aristocra
cy.
The Rmrrjot (Maine) Demorrefl. says the
only feasible plan is that presented by the
Hon. George II. Pendleton, of Ohio. His
proposition is to pay the debt in currency
as speedily as possible, nnd thus put a stop
to the all-consuming, all-devouring gold in
terest. The Radical press complain that
Mr. Pendleton has as yet presented no
figures covering the entire ground. This
we propose to'do. Our proposition involves
no repudiation of the public faith, and no
considerable inflation oi the currency.
According (o Mr. McCulloeh's last n.onth-
ly statement, the national ceut is of the fol
lowing character, and of tho following
amount m round numbers:
Five per cent, gold interest
bonds redeemable at tho
lilemiirp of the croverlimelit
after 1874 200,000,006
Six per cent, gold interest
bonds payablo in 1881 300,000,000
isix per cent, goiu interest,
livo-twenty bonds l,200,C0O,000
Currency, interest notes und
boiuls BOO, 000,000
Total interest bearing debt.... $:!, 2;0,000.000
UieeiibucKs, lraciionni cur.
reney, etc i.,v uuu.wu
Total ascertained debt $2,"50,000,0H0
Of the above interest bearing debt it will
be observe that $l!00.000,0(i(icaniiot be paid
until 1874, and $300:000 000 until 1881.
The remaining $1,700,000,000, consWing of
(he nve-tweuties and currency interest
bonds, may be paid immediately, or with
in the next four years. Let us hecin then
the word ot pr.vment on ths first day of
next. January, by calling in all the National
Dank currency, and by paying the S400,-
000.000 of bonds deposited at the Tr. ascry
at Washington to secure that' currency,- in
greenbacks. In olher words, we snlistilute
greenbacks lor the National Bank cur
rency, and pay $400,000,000 of the gold
nterest bearing b.'inds. Thus, on the fir.-t
dav, of January, 1809, wo would reduce the
$1,700,000,000 to $1,;',00,'000,000; without
adding one dollar to tho currency.
1 he next step would lie to reduce the cur
rent expenses of the Government to $100,
OoC.OOO a year. This could be rendily done
by doing away with all forms of Kadicnl ex
travagance: by dispensing with 'ho Freed-
men's Bureau, the military government over
the southern Nates, and by putting an end
to tho speculators' prcat Indian war.
We would also nrovide for the annual re
duction of the duties on import at the rate
often millions a ytar, thus doing away with
the evils or an enormous protective taritl,
and lightening tho burdens of tho laboring
class.
The wording of tho Treasury Department
for Bevcral years we would have as follows:

Thus in fivo years from tho first of Jan
uary, 18(38, by the above process, wo should
have paid all the interest bearing debt, ex
eei.r tha 500.000.000 maturing in 1874
and 1S.81, and we should have added but
one hundred millions of greenbacks to the
currency already afloat So small and so
gradual an addition could produoo but a
fndinor inflation.
The first of January, 1873 would find us
with 44,000,000 ot Bold m the treasury,
with a gold ititpret bexVieg debt of S.VKI
000,000 matnrimr in 1S7J and 18S1. and
with a currency of $'.ioO,000,0(XJ afloat b u
ing no interest.
We should then reduce the crrent ex
pensesofthe Government to $7;V00O.00o:
we would reduce the custom revenue t
f.ni.uuo.ooi), and the Internal revenue to
?200,000,000 a year, and we would o ni
mence the gradual destruction of the green
backs in order that their place might be
taken by specie currency. The treaury ac

TW follotving 4 a translation of an arti
cle ybich recently appeared in the Chicago
Union, couched in scriptural language' and
'itba-ding an apt illustration of the position
of ih'! bondholders In the people:
"And ho taught the people and ppako
unto them a psrable."
In the paradise of the bondholder it is as
with the man who borrowed from a friend
$10, 000 in gold.
Hut when the war Cum", and th cli'ef
cruncil at Washington declared that debts
should be paid in greenbacks, he went one
day and bought with his fiO.OOO in gold
$25,000 in greenbacks. 'And betook there
from $1.000, and went to his friend aud
said, "Here, my friend, take what I owe
thee." lint the other su:d, "1 loaned llico
gold, and thou should' st repay mo in gold."
"Unbe icver," .cried the other, "read
this: ."This note is a legal-tender For all
debts private and public," e(c. I. as a Toy
al man s-bow niylf willing and obedient to
the command ot the chief council. Thou
wilt refist the laws 'of tho land.- Thou art
a copperhead and a traitor. Here, take
that which is iliine own, and go thy way."
And as the loyal man would not bury his
pound, ho went and bought him, with the
remaining $15,000 which he had honorably
earned by his loyal trade, United States,
five twenty bonds, which netted him an in
come of $000 in gold, or $2,600 in tne
money of the land-, about i-5 pet "ccbt.
"And he clad himself in purple i-aiment."
And when he wished to increase his tal
ents he deposits his bonds in Washington;
and it came to pass that he received pd-
mission to take from the people many
thousands of dollars every year, because li
ceme was given him to issue national bank
notes as usury.
'Tor I say unto you that unto every one
which hath,, shall be given; and from him
which hath not, even that which he hath
shall bo taken away from.". . .
Then spoke tbe chief council.1 ' '
"This loyal fellow shall bo freo frOSn til
taxes and assessments."
"And, cried the Kepublican LonVen
ior at Chicago, "laborers and taxpayers,
be honorable hnnornhle honorable. ' Pay
