In the State of Maine, for example, the Republican Convention of the 10th instant adopted a platform which, although in general terms signifying little or nothing, expresses the confidence of the party in President Johnson, still emphatically asserts the right of the col- events of the war, and the excitement produced by army and navy movements and operations during that period left little room for the exer- cise of any other thoughts or ideas.

CITY INTELLIGENCE, RES ta can carry in its present shape; the policy of the government in regard to its obligations is complicative, and tends to lead its fiscal affairs from bad to worse; there is a wild speculative spirit rampant in the community, and a maniac desire for speedy and easily acquired fortunes of oo mean proportions has seized the minds of thousands of those who were once considered quiet and substantial business men, who in their greed for wealth leave their counting houses and bank books in the hands of irresponsible young men that are easily fed astray by the allurements of fashion and fast {ife. From all these sources we must expect will arise commo- tions and convulsions, panics and excitements, forgeries and fallures, and defalcations and bankrupts. The question naturally arises, what can be done to avert this catalogue of ills? We answer, the government and Congress must take the matter in band, and inaugurate a conservative policy, perfectly regardless of the opposition of politicians and the howls of speculators. The internal revenue system, which is now at loose ends and entirely unintelligible, must be overhauled and moulded into a shape that will bear public inspection; the ainecure places connected with it must be brushed away, and its machisiery put in euch order es to be easily under the contre! of the Treasury De- partment. The national debt must undergo a remodification. All tbe various bonds and notes, the gold interest and the currency ‘inter. est, the five per cents and the six per cents, the seven-thirties and the compound interest bear- ing representatives of money, must be consoli- dated into one grand fund or stock, bearing a uniform and reduced rate of interest. When this. is done, and not before, will the people understand the extent of the obligations of the government; and unless some changes similar to those herein indicated are produced, we must not be surprised at sudden fluctuations in prices, or be netonished if panics arise with every little disturbance that occurs in monetary circles. . By reverting to the financial history'of Eng- land during her attempts to restore her finances toa healthy condition, after the close of the war with France, we find ber course marked by just such events. Before her purpose was accomplished, and her monetary system safely secured, her agriculturists were driven from their farms, her landlords were impoverished, her factories were closed, ber commerce was prostrated, her tradesmen were made bankrupt, and nearly one-quarter of her population were pauperized. Our country 13 too great in resources to bo devastated to the extent that England was dur- ing the time we speak of ; but we must never- theless admit that there is dangor approaching, and that, unless we altor our course, as sure aa daylight follows darkness we will encounter a great financial revulsion, that will at leastoarry many of our slanchest business mon beneath 368,150 252,000 169,427 100,000 -- 151,079 +» 90,548 thirty years—have emphatically resolved that, “banishing narrow considerations we will ¢or- dially support Andrew Johnson in the policy he bas taken towards placing the rebel States in their proper position, and harmonizing con- flicting questions.” Thus upon this uew issue of negro suffrage the republicans of Maine have boldly entered the field in hostility to the administration, while the democrats as boldly declare that they will “cordially support Andrew Johnson in the policy he bas taken.” This new divi- sion of parties will probably culminate in an attempt to Tylerize President Johnson; but tere is every prospect that, should tbe attempt be made, the consequences will be even more disastrous to the party concerned than they were in the case of Captain Tyler. At all events, from this new order of battle between the republicans. and democrats of Maine, the results of the September Maine elections will be of the highest political importance to the whole country and to all parties concerned. From the beginning of the present century | Maine, as a district of Massachusetts and asa State, bas pretty faithfully given the Orst' popu- lar manifestations of the various political revo- lutions through which the country bas paased. From the time of the first Presidential agitation of the claims of Andrew Jackson, especially, have the elections of Maine revealed the chang- ing currents of public opinion, from one party and one policy to another party and another policy, down to this day. She has almost as surely sounded the signal of each of our great political changes as the Empire State of New York has given the decisive blow. Therefore we shall look with more than ordinary interest to the results of the Maine election of the 11th day of next September. It will go very far to show whether the public mind of the Northern States is settling down to the calm, considerate and conservative policy adopted by Andrew Johnson for the full reclamation of the Southern States, or is ripe for the immedi- ate experiment of unconditional negro suffrage in the South, with all the hazards of a violent Political agitation and a bloody conflict be- tween the two racegof that section, ~ From all the signs of the times around us— East, West, North and South—the great body of the people of all parties, and all races, too, bave confidence in the wisdom and sound patriotism, liberality and humanity of Presi- dent Johnson. The prevailing belief is that ho is laboring faithfully to restore the Southern States upon & volla baad of loyalty ; that be is aiming to do justice to Southern whites and blacks, and that if he is moving slowly he is step by step moving safely and steadily on- ward. The American people, we gay, place great confidence in the wisdom of Andrew Johnson, from his long and eventful experience ia the South a8 @ public man, and from his thorough knowledge of all the difficulties to be (New Yora HEmau................0e eee $1,095,000 ‘Times, Tribune, World and Sun combined... 871,220 THE CABLE.
