A WORD FOB MITCHELL. Truf. A. II. Smith, of Wichita, on tho 1'rcnont Crisis.

From tlio Kansun City Plonoer. 1 have watched with no littlo interest and anxiety the discussion for some time by some ol the leading men of our nation, on tho subject of finance and other important questions, now agitating the public mind of our people which has called out some of the greatest minds of modern times in the solution of what I will name "the problem of problems." As 1 wish to go on record on these great and vital subjects, I beg to accompany my name with Elder I). P. Mitchell and others who have espoused the great cause of humanity in leading the oppressed out from under the yoke of nristocratieal financial tyranny and oppression back to the days of Washington. Jackson and Lincoln.

In taking this skp I trust I may at least do more good than harm. I wish to say, however, in the outset, that if what I say evokes criticism from any quarter whatever among my brethren, I shaU make no reply unless I conceive myself misunderstood, which 1 hope to avoid. However, to all those of my church that may feel aggrieved at my course in this matter, I have only to call their attention to the fact that during October 5th, 1829, the lamented Alexander Campbell, when alter feeling it a duty to employ his talents in a direction that would be an everlasting benefit to his country, he for the time being comparatively quit his pulpit and took the "stump" in favor of what his convictions taught him to be right, which resulted in Iur election to the Virginia legislature, anil while there wielded a great influence in laying the foundation of the abolition of slavery. Can any one for one moment, censure Mr. Campbell in this? No.

He acted from a motive that he believed was for tho general good of his country. In my judgment this was, in a moral point of view, tho crowning effort of Mr. Campbell's lite. The poor white laboring men of the North as well as the South nre now in similar if not a worse condition in a financial point of view; and the man that will devise a plan to relievo them of this calamity, be he preacher, lawyer, doctor, mechanic or farmer, will receive a greater applause from these than the monarch upon the throne, the President in his chair or the General at the head of a victorious army. Again 1 will take occasion to remark that 1 do not think that tho discussion of these great problems have been earned on in that spirit that should characterize those who are placed in power and arc expected to labor for the great good of the nation.

1 do not agree with either the Democratic or Republican parties in the position that they now occupy. Neither do I believe that there is coin enough in riu tne world to transact tho business its commerce. When Mr. Buchanan the presidential chair the Democratic party was in no good condition, and my judgment the Republican party at the present time is not much better. For near fifteen years the veteran soldier who endured the hardships of the war and fought the battles ot our country, has been expecting to at least rceive he same bounty as did those of tho "kid glove and feather-bed fraternity," who enlisted near the close of the war, that never saw service or in many cases never even left their own county.

Now as tho republican party has dono nothing tor the soldiers and as the democratic party is not expected to do anything for them the next best thing, and only hope for justice being done them is in that of a third party, based upon better promises and upon a better foundation. Tho Greenback party is that party, and just what I have longed to see. Old things are pass ing away, (at least such things asalree people are not disposed to accept) and justice, equity and good government demand that we have something new Last Saturday evening was tho first time that I have had the pleasure of meeting Rev. D. r.

Mitcholl and to hear him in an argumentative and masterly manner set forth the views entertained by his party, which was in my judgment sufficient to convince the most supercfiial observer that ho is right in his convictions and as an honest man 1 have been convinced of the same alternative, and as I belong to a ditterent church to that ot the doctor, no ono can say that I have been moved by any religious preference or interest. Neither does it concern me what a man's church is when it comes to worthy pursuits. As I have not given the subject much consideration I will bring these introductory remarks to a closo with a promise to do better in the future. Once more. success to Mitchell and the Greenback party! Resnectfullv.
