f688edly i ■ paper, assaiu m shorp terms the Detnooratio platform of Obio on the financia! and public debt questions. ]t wants the ■ '. and public :l!t, questions lef t alone." The difrerenoe betweon nina and the Democracy of Ohio is, that the lattcr look fco the iiiterstsofthe bondpayers, while he i foi idholdor. In number we rather think the bondpsyen ate a hundred to ono. V, - gnesi that in the sequel the bondholdet will be fr!:id to g' money for In dobt aa the soldier and the fermer fcook for their debts. We can bardly agree tó mi thein a privilcged i'i Bnquirer. Who aslcs to havo the bondlioldcirs made "a privileged classP" If a contrae i . 'r 'wevi r, for which wc are not roBponsible, to pay thora either prinoipál er interest in gold, is it a mark of financia] wisdom ornational integrity to repudíate such contract, and set inaumerable shiüplaster milla running, to grind out greenbacks lo i;iy the tlebt, tlius makhig gveenbaoka worthlesa to the ton people who don't hold bofids: This bj'.inp; ()iii''s o D nose off to spito even a bondholder's fiwe is a mark of " pure Lness," :i d ith which too many "profoesed Demoorats" down in Ohio are aflicted. Better, by a Doinocratic and honest adruinistration of thu govetnment, by a reatoration ofpeace and good-will throughöui all mr borders, restore the credit of the governmeni and make i dollar greenbaok worth 100 cents in g"ld, and Uien there wil] be no"privileged classes." A revenue tarin?, no f avored monopolista, reducud taxation, a lopping ofE of oflSce-holding leeohes, an económica! and bonest applioation of the moneya colleoted from the people, general umnosty, and :i restored Union are inoi"u potent watchwords than "groenbacka for the bondholdcrs." The soldier and the farmer should have gold the same fis the bondholder, but thn him or ü of the .'.' 7 ',';.■■ promigesthem greenbacks ■ ■( inilly, ;mii of a more and more worthless kind. Such is not our Democracy. ïiie loil Evaxs, Pennsylvania's agent to colloct tlie WM claims of that State against tha United States, and wbo re tained the handsome little sum $291,000 M n or fue, for which littlo tnmsuctiuu ])r. is now boing prosouted or persecuted, claims that his only offensi: consista in not dividingwith the mombers ofacort;tin politica] rin üt Hamburg, composed, of course, of good moii and fcrue "loilists " all. He referred to play that old game boys and girls a score or moro yeara ago were familiar with, "hold fust all you gut," to giving the lion's hare to his associatea, and so tho Stato of Pennsylvania aad his old haants "know him no more."

Horack Gi:i:i;].ky having been invited fo propheay as to the ai ' atial elu;; ion, in tlie interest of Repúblicas wirn-pullers, gives out these oracular igraphe : "1.
