Dificnssloa In Polk. Eola, January 20, 18G3. Edilor Slate Rigid Democrat : Please give notice in your .paper that there will be a political discussion at this place, at twelve o'clock, Saturday, Feb. 8, between Benj. Hajden andP, C. Sullivan. We suppose the subject of discussion wiH be principally on Sullivan's plan of Government that State-rights is a heresy and secession: aud the Conttitution was made for the States by the whole people and given to them. Please give us notice until the meet ing; and com? down if you can, and see Benj. devour him. Respectfully yours, O. H. SMITH, Ch'm'n. Eola Dem. Club. Date Hourxs, Secfy. fJPALDISG'S LECTCnES. These Lectures are now closed. We have before us & communication from him which is designed for publication in wnicn Be uenns, at coneiaeraoie lenetn, a ross insult c ffered him recently by a gentle man 1'iTing a Brownsville. As it is purely a personal nutter, and consequently improp er for publication, we decline publlsbinfli it ; but we give the following extracts to show Mr. Spalding's political views at the present ;time ; "Mr. S. and bis associates acted perfectly con sistent. They jthink it was. righafor Mr. Lincoln .to publish the 'calumny asraintit my wife, as be did, in the Report of his Secretary of the Interior for 1S62, page 426, sent forth upon the wheels of Government in the pages of 30,000 volumes ; 'that it was right for him to seize the Lapwai mis sion and drive the Board's agents off by the bayo net; that it was right to tear down my house, . And expeU me from my old chareh and school, and irn me oat in dead of winter, to perish . without sneiter, or wander as beet we could, throngh snows, a hundred miles, and. to pursue us with every species of slander and persecution. I have ibefore said I have done with the Republicans. They would net protect my person or property ; but stood readj to rob me of my home, and church, and give them to the Jesuits. I now say, if God spares my life, I shall vote the Democratic ticket. and use every other lawful means .to overthrow tnis itepubuco-Spanish Inquisition." ' The Tocsin. Such is the title o a j. $ new Daily paper lately started in Sa lem, by W.;L. Jernagen & Co. Its politics are Democratic. Of course we wish it success ; but it is not at all clear to us that this wish will be grat ified ; for we cannot well see how Sa lem, situated in a county so black that one can tell when he crosses the lines simply by the -different scent .can support . two Democratic dailies and one Dc mocratic weekly, when it has heretofore failed properly to sup port one weekly Democratic newspa- - peiv . ':: - . -it-y v. s. ; EaT" J. N. Dolph, Chairman of the Union State Central Committee, re ferring to the late civil war says : "The country was worth: fighting for and dying for." All this may be true; but Dolph did not take this vie w of it when he left New York, to 5 void the draft, and came, across the plr ' is on a mule beion ring to the Government, But he is a fair specimen of nearjy all the Itadica". leaders and- brawlers on - the Pacific soast. .

The National Debt the federal tojes, and the annual expenditure, of the Government, . are questions that aroengagmg the attention bankt t&u the bank noteso toltheir re of the press all over the country.

The financial question, like the ghost of Banquo, will not down at their bid" ding. We clip the subjoined from a ' late number of Harper1 Weekly t - : 0- "Under tho present polioy, the people raise an annual revenue of $150,000,000 more than it need ed for Government expenses and tho interest oa A 1 . t k m TJ':PZ' mere waa any orerwaeiming necessity why this . . - . - r - . i vast mm should be raised annually, the people mtDi iiui autmpt it ; bat wmt matters it wheth er our obligations are paid in thirty or sixty years V It "matters" considerably. If no part of the publio debt if paid from year to year, at the end of fifteen years tho people will have paid as much in interest as the principal now amounts to ; in thirty years twice as much, andVn alxtv tears four times as much. TWro lis an "overwhelming necessity" why this Ipublie debt should be got rid of in someway immediately.

Mr. Stevens, i-u.: r .v. n .

When the ten-forties were issued, iav 1 ion. panic and ru!n," we hurl back into the Cooke, in an advertisement which he sent to us for publication, said that they were the only bonds whose principal was payable in gold. One declaration may offset the other. The one has as much weight as the other. A late number of the Salem Record says : "The plan ef paying off the war debt with enr- reney is devised, because Democracy over-esti mates uie ignorance and cupidity of the American people not as to the existence of these qualities in its own party. It looks like a payment, battbe v. tunotj, lation, panic, and ruin. The result would bewhat Democracy deeires, that thecurrency would decrease in value as much as it is incresacd in bulk, and the national debt would disappear in a scene of universal ruin." We concede that the issue of two billions more of currency, would be very apt to pro- duce bad results. But who authorized the t?m-j ... t.- - .i i i. of any prominence, nor no Democratic Con- vention haa vet endorsed such a rlan. When they do it will be time enough for the aboli- tion leaders to make the charge. We now submit a plan by which the na- tional debt can be liquidated in twelve or fif- teen years, without increasing at all the f ... . TBI m currenc now in circulation, ana 7." .

But this is not quite all of the national debt. There is an "unliauidated debt" be- . , e t...i : t . . . n .! ciuco, uuuui cigut uuourcu minions oil dollars. This debt is not interest-bearing, ana consists ofgreenljacks and claims against the United States which are manifestly just and will yet be allowed. The present policy of the Radical party is. to convert these eight hundred millions of dollars into bonds ; which pay six per cent. interest in gold. It was only a few days ago that the telegraph announced that the total public debt has increased, in one short month, upwards of $50,000,000 5 that is to eay, as we uuueruianu u, mis mucn oi tne uuu-iHiereai-ucaring uuui, consisting mostly of greenbacks, haa been converted infcn hnnda drawing RiXr,ernt.M inters, v Ttru ? 1 1. t.

It converts a lare debt, which bears no interest, into a bonded debt bearing a gold interest. - It also annually adds to the expense of the Governm ent $48,000,000 for that is the interest on f800.000.000. Tt increases the number of the ; bondholders, who pay no taxes, and very materially aug ments the burdens of the common people. It also adds to the untaxed property of the country, ' - . Now we contend that this policy is, all wrong. This "unliquidated debt' of f 800, 000,000 should not be converted into bonds ; because, as soon as it is, the people must pay' $48,000,000 interest on them. Let it remain as it is, and thus annually save this Eumv and also materially lessen the number of bondholders who. as all know, are ex emptfrorn taxation. - - Thert is still another way in which sever. al millions of dollars may b8 annually saved.

On the 7th of December, 1863, Mr. I Lincoln issued an "Amnesty Procla mation," in which he offered a free pardon" to the great mass of the "rebels," on condition of taking an oath to support the federal Constitu tion and Union; and also to. " abide by and faithfully support all acts of ContrreKS nasscd durinir the existing - ' a 1 tj 0 ivcucuion Having rviervucv io J" I . ! 1 1 so long ana so iar as not. mouinea decision of the Supremo Court."
