Thus, it will be seen, instead of paying
twenty million six hundred and eleven
thousand eight hundred and dollars,
we must pay THIRTY-N1NE million two
hundred and twenty-three thousand four
hundred and twenty-six dollars; making a
difference in this enormous sum Of nearly
oNE-HALF.
Read the law. 1t does not say that
that portion of the Debt which was only
drawing 5 per cent. heretofore, shall draw
no more than 5 hereafter, but authorizes
the renewal of the whole at 6 per cent.
The law does not say in so many words
that it. shall not be paid for 80 years, but
It says between 1875 and 1886. Does
any one doubt that it will be postponed
20 The utmost limit of the law? We defy
any one to produce an argument in favor
of defering twenty years which will not
bear equally as forcibly in favor of thirty
years. If the Fusionists believe that a
public debt is a public blessing, they will
rot pay it in 90 if they can avoid it 80
years.
But who asked for such a law ? Who
had become alarmed, fearing the State
should get out of debt? Who was de-
handing to pay gratuiteusly eighteen mil
lions of dollars, rather than not have this
milestone of a Debt about our necks
Reader, you know, and every one else
knows that no part of the taxes is paid
more eheerfully than that which goes to
the payment of the Public Debt. 1t has
to be paid and the people would willingly
pay it off as soon as possible and be done
with it. But here we have the amount
nearly doubled and to hang over cur heads
for thirty years. This debt operates as a
lien, as q mortgage upon every farm i'll
the State for the next generation. Mr..
Farmer, you hold your land subject to q
lien, in common with the rest of the State,
of t%hirty-nine millions Of dollars.
The Fusionists may talk about the
money being worth more in the hands Of
the people, but there is one argument
which proves ir%resistably and conclusive
ly that postponing the Debt is bad policy;
that argument is drawn from erery honest
mans experience in his indsutdaal dealings.
Does he suffer his debts to run on at in
terest for years after they become due,
hen he is amply able to pay them? Ger
tainly not, and why? Simply because the
experience of mankind since debts began
proves it to be bad policy. But there is
another fact showing that the State is
loser. In one hour after the debt of four
teen millions is renewed, fifteen millions
would not redeem 1t: for the reason that
there is a guaranty that it shall not be
paid till due, and the interest which it
will draw viii make it that much more
valuable. This shows as clear as the
noen-day sun that the State il loser.
But now, what is all this done for ?
This question we asked and answered once
before; it is to foster and feed their pets
and favorites, the banks; upon the prin-
ciple, "take care of the rich and the rich
will take care of the poor"
Yet the people are asked to lift up
their hands in holy horror at the affairs of
other States while our own are suffered to
go to destruction as though we had no
interest in them.

We publish this week aa act of the
Retrenching Legislature, "Te provide fer
the payment of the Public Debt of the
State, due Jan. !, 1851, and for the pay
ment of the interest on the Public Debt"
Payment of the Public Debt, indeed!
Reader, if you have an outstanding note
and go and take it up, by giving another
in its place, are you paying your debt !
If not, then neither does this act pay the
State Debt. 1t is a cheat practiced upon
the State. The Legislature which passed
it acted in this, as in nearly every other
act, upon the principle that THE EopLE
WE'RE TOO STUPID TO DETECT HEIR FRAUDS.
Unless they believed this, they dared not
hope for the approval, by the people, of
an act ~gratuitously granting eighteen mil
lions Of dollars to bankers and other spec
~ulators.
They went to Columbus on an excite
ment raised BY themselves on the subject
of retrehchment, and instead of retrench-
ing, they sc to feeding and fostering the
banks at the expense of the people. Now
when their work is done, to divert atten-
ton from it they are exclaiming, Good
Heavens, just look yonder at Kansas!
There is u man who got into office by
fraud" We say look at your own State;
there is a Legislature, at least one half of
which was elected by fraud. Not by ille-
gal voting, but by procuring votes through
false representations. Is it possible that
these Fusionists can put their hands into
the peoples pocket, take out their money
and give it to the banks and the people,
unconscious of the wrong, shall be indig-
nantly exclaiming against a drunken row
in Kansas, instead of against those who
are robbing them? Are the people so In
toxicated with slavery excitement that
they will suffer their money to be sqnan-
dcred without a indrmur?
But to this law "raying the Public
Debt" Instead of paying the Debt, as
its title indicates, it authorizes the issuing
of new certificates postponing the pay
ment for thirty YEAR,! Thus INCREASING

THE moNRoE JoURsAL.

The Nonroe Journal has again made
its appearance. It is published by a
DIR. J. Martin, Editor. From
the reading Of an article under the ed
itorial head we are inclined to the opinion
that he is opposed to the Democratic
principle Of Unpopular sovereignty. But lest
we should do it injustice, [for We confess
that we cannot clearly understand the ar
ticle referred to- we give a couple of ex-
tracts from the salutatory:
"Ard inasmuch as we have an approach
ing Presidential canvass; and since the
question of Slavery has become one of
vast Importance, and is likely to have
a controlling influence in the future, and
we anticipate that at a convenient season,
the Slave Power and its Party will assert
that Slaves are regarded as property by
the Federal Constitution, and that they
may be held as such in the Territories Of
the United States, under the safeguards
Of the Constitution. without positive law.
This proposition we intend, if asserted, to
deny and oppose to the utmost OF our
pOWer.n

THE ELECTION IN BALTIMORE CRY. -
The democrats have lost Maryland, not
for the want of numbers, but through
the frauds and murderous violence of the
Know-nothings of the city of Baltimore.
The Baltimore Sun of tho 9th instant,
says:
d" 1t is hardly news to any of our read
ers that the city was disturbed by the
most disgraceful riots during the whole
Of the day of election. In some part or
another, from the time the polls opened
until they closed, disorder and riot pre-
vailed more or less, and firearms of
every description were freely used. 1t
is equally certain that fraudulent voting
was practised almost without restraint
and scarcely disguised, while great num-
bers were deprived of their franchise,
either by force and violence at the polls,
or intimidation from the reports current
of what was going on. The history of
the day was lamentable commentary
upon the assumption of the mayor that
he had adopted sufficient measures for the
preservation of the peace. On the con-
trary, authority seemed powerless; dis
order soon grew into riot, and riot Gull
minated in bloodshed and slaughter.
There was a notorious insufliciency to do
any effective thing for the maintenance
Of order or for the protection of citizens
in the exercise of their rights"

TERRIBLE ToRNADo.-We learn from
the Peoria 1ll.) Transcript that on Fri
day afternoon, the 9th ultimo, most
destructive tornado passed over the
northern part of Schuyler county, ILL.,,
and in its course completely Frustrated
the fourishing village of Littleton. The
place contained over hundred houses,
besides barns and out-houses, all Of
which were destroyed, Or so much dam
aged as to be useless. Among other
buildings were two churches, one a
wood and the other brick cdifce. -
Some idea of the force of the gale may
be obtained from the fact that Of the
walls of the brick church no part was
left standing which exceeded four feet
in height. Strange as it may seem, but
four persons were seriously hurt and no
one killed. The man who was most Sc
riously hurt was in fair way to recover
when last heard from.

what the Presidential Election has
settled.

After one of the most extraordinary
struggles (says the Belfast Free Prees)
ever witnessed by the civilized world; the
democracy of America have gloriously
triumphed. Our eagles glitter in the
bright beams of the sun, and our flags
proudly wave, with never a star struck
from their ample folds. The Union is
still a thing of life. 1t is not only per-
petuated in marble, in brass, and in po-
etry, but is living principle, a binding
obligation, held to be sacredly imposed
upon the entire nation. The sectional
party which rallied under the name of
Republican" is not merely beaten; it
is annihilated. The presidential dec
ton has settled many of the most impor-
tant principles since the government was
formed.
1t has consolidated and eternized the
Union of the States.
1t has crushed forever all secret po-
litical societies.
1t has spoken peace to the adopted
citizen and words of welcome to the I'M
friended but meritorious immigrant.
1t has Numbered forth to the ears of
spiritual tyrants our glorious creed of
religious liberty.
It has again rebuked the political
priesthood of the country, and trampled
into the dust the new attempt at union
of church and State.
Il has hurled from the lap Of the ma
ton the rubbish of sumptuary legislation
prescribing what we shall eat, what we
shall drink, and whercwithal we shall be
clothed.
It has enunciatcd in the most solemn
manner the doctrine of self-government
as applicable to States and Territories.
1t has spurned the treason and the
traitors of 1886.
1t has consigned the Wilson's and the
Bankses. and Hales and Wades, to an
infamous notoriety.
1t has strengthened the hands of the
friends of freedom wherever its spirit is
felt or its blessings desired.
1t has enhanced the glory and pros
perity of the nation almost beyond con-
ception.
1t has given Importance to every in
dividual in the republic, because he is
now looked upon as a citizen Of the great
country and not of fragment of the
Union.
The people should celebrate this great,
unspeakablc victory as a new declaration
of independence, with shouts, with bon
fires by ringing bells, by mutual con-
gratulations, by thanksgiving, and by a
sincere acknowledgment to an overruling
Providence.

Keep up your Organization.

Although we have been temporarily
defeated in this county, by means dis
creditable to our opponents, there is no.
thing in that defeat which should in the
least dispirit our friends, but everything
to arm them with new zeal for the future.
1t is we'll known that influences were
brought to bear and machinery put in
motion at the late election which cannot
hereafter be made available and all
that the Democracy have to do to secure
this county is to keep up their organiza-
ton, renew their efforts with increased
vigor, and never falter for moment in
the discharge of their duty.
Mr.. FrLLNoRE having secured the
electoral vote of Maryland alone, it has
become manifest that the party repre-
scented by him in the late contest will for
the time to come be an "obsolete idea, F"
and all future contests will be between
the Democracy and Abolitionism which
has developed its formidable strength at
the North. This being the case there
can be no doubt that not only Montgo-
merry, but every other county in the
State will be found doing battle for the
Constitution and Union.
Democrats of Montgomery, be of good
cheer! the reverse you have experienced
is but transient; all you have to do to
remove its odium and to crush the ene-
my which brought it upon you is, to re-
lax not nerve, abate not an effort, but
with greater ardor advocate the good
cause in which you are engaged.
