Aa article in the May number of tl Atlantic Monthly, on "Oa money pro' lam," reviews at length the history . t tha creation of our national debt, ai: ! contain! a most interesting comparath .Statement of the finances of Eogland ai ? the United State. We are surprised i; . find that the circumstances of the form tion of the English debt were in man r pecti similar, and the like effect we produced aa in the United States. Hei we bad a state of civil war, creating a emergency that placed the nation on tl brink of dissolntion, and made the cot . tinned Uaion of the States uncertain. England there was no civil war;' no enen j landed on her shores and the avocatioi I and business ot her citizens .went on ui" hindered, save as the course of Frem j conquests disturbed the state of Knrop. , and made her foreign commerce nncertaii , The condition of Ireland was scarce won ) than it is to day, and no reasoning can b i had to shew that the state of affairs it Great Brittain itself, had any actual re . semblance to the emergency that existed la this country during the late civil war, ' Eogland employed her army and navy, and naed her credit to raise money to aid In preserving the balanced of power in Europe. . Yet, from 1797 to 1821, aperiod of twenty-foqr years, specie was banished from the transactions of English merch ants and people, the Bank of England notes were the inconvertible paper cur rency that became the medium of domes tic exchanges. During that period of nearly quarter of a century, Eogland went through nearly the exact phases that monetary affairs we hare experienced la : the United States during the last ' years, and we give a short summary of the facts to answer the false charges of Democracy against the Republican party. Ia England the laws prohibited specu latioa in gold coin, and as they were rig. idly enforced, no Gold Board came into existence and the world was not favored with daily quotations of the price of gold. ' Bullion was boughtaod sold, bow. " ever, and the price of the staple necessa ries of life and of gold bullion is the only way to jadge the effect an expanded cat- rency and suspension of specie payment j produced at that day. I Comparative j tables, in the Atlantic, show that in 1813 ( ' gold bullion' commanded a premium of- 41 per cent.; that for during the years ' 1798 to 1804 inclusive, such staples as candles, coals, Coffee, wheat, barley, rye, eta, floor, iron", meats, butter, spirits, sugar, tallow and wool, commanded a premiers. f 50 per cent. Over prices In 1790j that from 1803 to 1811, they rose ' to 74 per cent., from which they increased through the next six years to 77 per cent Yet, after a few years of peace prices re ceded to their ante war figures, or very early so. " " . .. The emergency was much greater in these CaitedStates between 18GI and 1865, i and the same class of staples as are quot- d above, gradually rose so that in the last named year they commanded a pre. mlum of over 100 per cent., yet this State of things only lasted for one season. So that in no other year of the war, or of the inflation ef our currency consequent vpoa it, did prices range' as htgli as they did' la England for the thirteen years from 1I0S to 1818. Eaglead adopted gradual measures for resorption ef specie payment, known as Z ohert reel's Sliding Scale, so often mentioned ia history. It came at last, naturally and easily, as it is coming with xa, bat it ia Interesting to recall to mind ! that even as Pendleton originated a green . back theory here, so England when ft be came necessary to provide for funding the immense debt thus coated, there "arose a c!f si of politicians who assumed that, as - it had been created ia aa irredeemable currency it should be paid in the same ly. ' This was urged in the English Commons, and it was met as we are meet ing the Democratic arguments of to-day. Sir Robert Peel said: "It is in vain to thlnk.tLat foreign nation; can be imposed npob by such a deception, or that in their dealings with us tbey will not calculate opon the depreciation." And his posl- Hon was considered to be unanswerable. Compared with tha English national finances there is no room to charge fraud r venality on the American Government. Oars was a much greater emergency, and 'we saet ia four years with a political atfggle which called Into action all the physical and money power of, the nation, BE IS KKOOESED BT FAT SCDDER CRAXQB Of BABE WHILE IE BOCTHEEE OEIliON. j We are able to offer distinct proof that Mr. Grorer did 'just exactly what was expected of him by leading Republicans when he should reach Southern Oregon, and come within the reach of Jim Fay, and before the direct believers in repudi ation, of whom Fay is the avowed leader, tt was predicted of him that he would lack the back bone to stand by his pro fessions made here that he opposed repu diation, and be found in perfect harmony with Fay. And so be was. As soon as thi candidatfs crossed ' the Calipooia Mpuutains and stood upon the so;l of Southern Oregon, be effected a-change of base, and in relation to what the Eighth Resolution meant, answered that it meant that "the man who lent us thirty ve cents shall get his money with legal interest." He referred distinctly to the gold valu of the currency with, which the bonds were purchase!, and won th applause of the repudiationists by btsassertton that what ever was the value In gold of the currency ' paid for the bonds should be the. measure ' of payment witn simple interest tbereoo, which carried with it the threat of Fay tuat there should be a " compulsory dis gorgement", of . the interest paid on any greater sum than that thus ascertained and established. It was well known that Fay bad promised to make it lively ; for Grover ih Jackson coiinty it he failed to meet the financial question as Fay had proclaimed it. ; Arriving at Jacksonville, Grover assumed the same position as at Roseburg: proclaimed "Equitable Adjust- ment" as meaning that the bonds should be thus redeemed, and so fully satisfied Fay that be took occasion when making a speech the same evening to announce that be was gratified to koow that Mr. Grover agreed wi'h him entirely aa to paying the debt. Misrepsesentations bad been made to bim concerning Mr Grover's views. lie had expected to differ from "him materially, but their positions were alike, they did not differ. Grover was present while he was thus eulogized by Fay aud gave a ilent assent to his words. He thus stands before the people of South ern Oregon as favoring the very repudia tion which be was so loud in denouncing bere. As to Fay's views there is no ques tion. He was an open and avowed rpu diatiouist at the holding of the Conven tion. A few days afterward be wrote to the Herald the Utter backing up its repu diation editorial of that day and favoring " compulsory disgorgement." There has beeu no change, no denial by Fay, aud be bas stood manfully up to his assertions aud positions since then. When apeakiag before Grover at Jacksonville be said that be had "not changed, and never took anything back," when " referring to tbe similarity of vsews now neld by Grover and himself. , We receive the facts above stated from 'Major Mgone and other persons who beard them, and they are entirely reliable. We then bare Grover in tbe pitiable position of an office seeker, veering in expression to suit tbe voters of each latitude, and debasing himself before Fay to 'deprecate his wrath and secure his support and that of his friends. The charge so frequently made against Grover of being a dema gogue and lacking tbe stamiuA of prin ciple, is fully sustained by his conduct during the canvass, and will never leave bim. This is the man for whose succss the Democratic party are trading off every other man on their ticket.; They have no hope of electing any one else and tbey will owe it to the. foljy and weakness ot Republicans if the State is disgraced by his election. : ; , Affldarlts confuted. Matters over In Polk are becoming quite serious for tbe Democracy. Circulars are "out, in which the honorable men who are charged with various attempts at corrup tion, plainly and specifically give a satis factory denial to the charges made against them.: , Bartmao, whose . affidavit they published in Grover's Organ with so much gusto, deiies'thal be made it as published, we are informed; and every thing looks unlovely and tbe Demorratic goose bans altogether too high. We instanced some cases of bribery yesterday, that will cause them considerable trouble if the grand jury gets hold of them, and pains will be taken to see ttr that. The affidavit busi ness is about played put, though there, is "an association of gentlemen" 'over in Polk ready to swear . to any thing, at six bits a doxen, and a large crop is well sprouted. The "business manager" might try some of bis own, but tbey wouldn't go down well in Ben Uayden's bailiwick, perhaps, that gentUman having pronounc ed bim a "perjured villain", alter his tes timony In Whitley vs Bellenger. This probably account for his extreme mod esty, ele we might have seen columns of things sworn to in tbe Organ, all by the redoubtable busineis man. As tbe case is becoming desperate, hadn't be better let a few off at a venture? v .Serve Them Both Alike. The Satet Right Democrat, of Albany, n been busy'durinar the canvass 'pot- ting abead on" the Herald and putting through Jim . Fay, which it did very thoroughly and much to our satisfaction. We feel inclined to compliment the Dem ocrat on its course in the canvasa, as It baa been moderately courteous, and has not Spared the beams in the eyes -of Deuioc racy, wheu iiibiog so eagerly lor th mote iu Republican optics. May 27th, tbat paper spoke plainly of Fay's attempt to fasten repudiation on the Democratic Party, and with an indiguaiion we fully appteciated, it altogether denounced Far aud his pet doctrines. We call tbe t teution of that paper now to tbe picture afforded ns of Grover preaching Fajs doc trine at Jacksonville, and of Fay recip rocally proclaiming that b and Grover do not differ ; that Fay haa not changed or tken anything back, but that Grover Btauda with bim, their-views aad prin ciples ou national finance being exactly alike. - - -The Democrat having pratiieed a course that bae in many respects won our appro bation, we turn this case f flagrant de linquency over to that journal, .promu iog to stand by it while if shall go after Grover and do bim full justice a thieg by the by, it a fnllv ahl to do ii it will. A Word to Grant'a Friends. There is no doubt that a majority of the people of Oregou endorse the official acts of Gen. Grant aud sympathize withJ tbe course of bis administration. " He has dealt honorably by the people, been faithful, efBcieut and honest in the dis charge of his duties, and tbe high char acter he won as a soldier bas been in no respect dimmed by bis wise policy and bouest' dealing as a statesman. Grant is to-day more the man of tbe people's choice than he was at tbe time of his election. ' ' Tba voice of Oregon should the ti b of June sustain the administration by h fair majority tor the Republican tk-t and for evtry mjin upon it. Every tw t those whose names areun the D-mo'rHiic ticket are the political foes of t'n 1'rfi-i-dent and opponents of b'ia policy, l.t ns then have from the people vf tni State such vot as shall endori-r th known polity of Gen.

The ' Herald , U making a great to-do because' the bill lately passed granting aid for what Is known as tbe Humboldt Branch Road, provides that it shall be constructed from, the' Central Pacific Railroad at the bend of tbe Humboldt to Rogue River, ia Southern Oregon. It appears that this bill originally provided that the road should cross tbe mouotains at tbe bead of tbe. Willamette Yallev, and follow tbe route of the Oregon Central Military Road Company, which would, of course, have been uuch to tbe advantage-of the stock, holders of that corporation, who have always been the most prominent advocates of tbe measure. Tbe facts as to tbe cause of the change ate these : The Central Pacific Railroad are tbe real owners of the franchise granted to the Humboldt Road, otherwise known as the Oregon Branch of the Central Pacific Road. This Company owns evety mile of railroad in California, including tbe California and Oregon Road, now building, which is to complete our railroad communication with California wben finished. Tbe Central Pacific Company is a vat and powerful, almost omnipotent corporation that seeks to control tbe railroad lines of tbe whole coast, and Is in a fair way to succeed in Including Uregon among us possessions unless its ! movements ' are carefully watt bed. When the" Humboldt hi.l was on its final passage it became evident tbat some step should be taken to secure rail road facilities for Southern Oregon, which was jeopardized by tbe existing state of matters as regarding tbe enterprise on foot by the Central Pacific Company. That corporation, with tbe Humboldt franchise ami its contemplated road from Sacra mento to the Oregon lioe could veto tbe prospectot communication with California through Southern Oregon, as its road could pass up tbe Sacramento Valley and up Pitt River to connect with the Humboldt Road, refusing to luake uny coiinectioji With Iiollada's ronii, mid on teiliihg t3e L-mi of V 1 1 s valley the OoinjiHiv u d afford to lniilil ibeir niitil on t Atiori,-! ii Matt of tlMlitfb wbi't) Tort!lJ"l 14 ir- ticulnrly anxious to nvoiil, ni th.x mi)bt inaterinlly ir jure Salem lo, tor wtiicheer rmi!e H pursued would convey tbe lliroUb lrvVi to both Oalitortiia t-U lb E'ini. .If tliiii had beeu permitted, Southern ft wbom, more than any other, the people of tbe United States delight to honor.

Statbbmav At about l oiclock, p. m., Maibeny, candidate for Sheriff, led off in the discussion . and was ' followed by Capt. Miller, who spoke for Durbin, as that distinguished individual could not, apeak for , himself. The balance of the time was taken np by three speakers on a side. The Republicans did justice to the occasion by sticking to the issues and discussing them fairly; while the Demo crats as usual stuck to their old bobbies, the Negro and Chinaman. ;.Egan having discovered that Chinamen invented fire crackers, took tbe occasion' to inform bis benighted Democratic constituency of tbe same. Capt. Miller and Ford, also brought their mighty eloquence to bear on ' the audience,,; which occasionally brought a grin from the Bedrocks. Har ding was not on hand.

Fay spoke io tht vi lug after . listening to Grover's t-peerb made that afternoon, in wbich Grower distinctly assumed tbe position that the coin velue of tbe greenbacks wbich wete paid for hoods should be the basis of "equitable adjustment." Let these facts be well remembered, and let it not be for gotten tbat while Fay eulogized Grover and endorsed bis sentiments as agreeing entirely with bis own, adding tbat Grover bad been misrepresented to bim, tbat all that while L. F. Grover sat bv and heard- what Fay said, and bv his silence gave Faj's remarks the fullest -endorsement. If Fay bas Dot e-bartged, Grover has cer tafnly changed very much, and for the worse, and for the mere sake of securing the votes 6f th repudiationists of south ern Oregon, has taken a position, wbich, while at Salem, he. repudiated and de nounced. Abott the Legislatukk. Right upon tbe eve of election efforts are being made to prejudice Republicans against Senator Williaeip, and to influence them against voting for the Republican candidates for the Legislature, on the supposition tbat they are pledged to vote for the re elec tion of that Senator. Do not be deceived.. No man is so pledged, an'd no such pledges have been demanded, j Let us elect a Re publican Legislature and then let tbe claims of every man be fairly examined before a Senator is elected. Senator Williams bas to stand by bis record; and if be cannot answer fully, fairly aud hon orably; for every official act, Le will not receive tbe support of Oregon Republi cans. Do not believe that we work only to secure his re-election. We work to establish the supremacy of tbe party and of its principles ; the claims, of individ uals will be an after consideration, and we bave fall time before us to weigh well their acts, aod reward . them aa . they deserve. -.: j ;! . .. :-'.. . .1.

We have labored to present tbe position of the Democracy (gocalled), in a true light, believing that tbe most hideous guise nnder which it can be prtsented is not too great. Our opponents bave striven by etery subterfuge to divert attention from their principles and platform ; but let every man decide for himself whether or no the Democratic speakers and news papers favor national dishonor.

It is evident that our political -opponents are trying by any and ev,ery means to secure votes for Governor. A favorite plan ot tbe repu diationists is to get Republicans to vote for Grover for Governor in exchange for a Democratic vote to be given for Wilson. This is done because tbey fear tbe wbole ticket . will be defeated, and are using any and every means to secure tbe election of the Executive so as 10 bold a check oq tbe action of the Legislature, which is sure to be Republican, and to control tbe penitentiary and tbe various appointments in tbe gift ef the Governor. We have the authority of Judge Wilson himself for stating tbat this is being done, because be bas told us that be was bo informed by Democrats in this and in Linn county. It is being done wherever the Stilem clique have any power of Influence, and we wish to warn Republi cans against this scheme for defeating tbe Interests of the Republican party ; also, remember that Grover's speeches in Jack son county, made o'nly a few days since, were for repudiation, as Jim ' Fay under ataods. it, and 00 Republican can casta vote for a repudiator, or for . a political demagogue-who is all things to all men and anything for office.
