The "Inteiiigence CIaim"---lts Pre-
sumDtiOu and PaISIIy.

The opposition TO the Democracy have always
set up claim to possessing all the intelligence
morality and decency," and when defeated, as
they usually are, they fall back upon the great
dignity and respectablity Of their organization,
as eontrasted with their opponents, and with
their usual contempt for the popular intelligence
assign to the masses great ignorance to appreci-
ate their principles. This silly egOtism has
generally been treated with ridicule by the De-
mocRcy, who have deemed it unworthy of Sc
rious argument It's hlsity is so apparent to
every one familiar with the history and with the
materials that comprise the two organizations,
that they have not deemed it worth the while
to seriously notice it; although, if comparison
was to be instituted, they did not fear but that
the result would be disastrous to the pretentious
egotists who had illuminated them.
Since the result of the presidential election
it has been quite common for the sham Repub-
lcans, who were very much chagrined by the
result in Illinois, to parade columns of figures
to prove that, in some of the democratic strong
holds in Southern Illinois, considerable por-
ton of the male adults could not read nor write.
Now, without at all recognizing the justice of
applying that standard of intelligence, We will
for once accept it, and invite the attention of the
intelligence" party to the following census ta-
Bile Of Indiana counties, which has been made

"A Methodist divine Of this city, on Sunday
last, administered q most se1ereirebuke to stht
common customein these days, of freading adver.
tsements from the pulpit. A paper was hand

lecture to the annual course would be delivered
on Monday night" &c,, at a certain Medical In
stitution in this city. The preacher said he had
conscientious scruples against rAeating the pi,i.

that he meyer heard such advertisements read
in church without reminding him of the old

We have lately inspected the drah Of = nsw

brated works OF Richard Norris & Son, in PhiA,

over any other kind Of locomotive engines hOw

for short time on the Philadelbhia & Gssdihg

to be these: The boiler presents an unusually

one inch and seven eighths to two inches. The

boatman who was swearing furiously. March.

asked: $40 ''t'

The Public Debt and our Public
RuFfheMS.

1t will be distinctly remembered (says the
Portage Sentinel, that the party now IN pow
er in Ohio, was elected upon the express pledge
that they would lessen the public burthens.--
They have now been in office nearly an entire
year, and yet what have they done for the peo-
pie? True, the amount Of taxes have in some
instances been seemingly reduced. But hosc,
let us ask, has this been accomplished? We
answer, it was done by the most despicable
fraud which was ever practised upon the rights
and interests Of any people. The Public Debt
OF the State amounts to, about Sl4,0OO 0OO.-
BY the operation of the Democratic policy, the
interest and part Of the principal was paid an
nually. This process although it necessarily
made our present burthens heavy, would, if pur-
sued, in a few years have wiped out the State
debt entirely, and thereby relieved us Of the
millstone hichhangs upon the necks of the
people. Every just minded man would ap,
prove Of The policy of paying off and getting rid
Of this great burthen as soon as possible. A
good and prudent man Of business pays his
debts when they fall due,u He prefers to- do
this, rather than renew his notes and thereby
add interest to principal until his liabilities are
doubled. Just so with our state finances. It
is better to pay each installment when it falls
due, even though it may increase our present
burthens, than to. extend the time of payment
and increase them by the accumulation Of inter-
est upon interest, as burthen to futnre genera
tions. The last Legislature, however, refuses to
pay this debt of the State when it falls due, and
has extended the time ofpayment for about 20
years. This lessons our taxes nov, but more
than doubles them in future. By the Fusion
policy, the interest accruing en- the public debt
during the nexttwenty years will more than
equal the principle at the present time .a
This is Fusion economy. This is their mode
of lessening the public burthers! Let it be re-
membered. And when republican boasts Of
decreasing the taxes of the State; tell him he
has done it by repudiating the pledges of the
State for period oftwenty odd years.
They have increased the ordinary expenses Of
the Government and stolen money from the
Sinking Fund to pay their increased charges,
and then, to further hide their iniquity, they
have refused to- pay the bonds for which the
credit Of the people was pledged, in order that
our burthens may seem less. sa '....,

A Yankee NIchctln.

laughable anecdote in which Charlotte Cush.
man and low comedian named Adams figured
together. r..... ...f .-
One night Charlotte Cushman was to play
Lady Mcbeth, and a distinguished comedian
was to come Mr.. Mcbeth.' The flaming hand
bills were posted. and greet things promised
As the hour for the performance to begin ap.

named Adams had done the Yankee for the es-

hero of Dunsinanc. The play CONNIE need
Miss Cushman was doing up the tragic in her
best style-Mr. Adams succeeded beyond the
most sanguine expectations Of the manager unI
til the banquet scene came on board, when poor
Adams was utterly at fault He recollected the
sentiments, but not the wording ofthe poetry he
had entirely forgotten. He ought to have said
"Avaunt and quitmy sight! Let earth Eide thee
| Thy Bones ate msrrowless--thy blood cold!

| Instead Of this, the immortal Adams burst
forth in his richest style:---'Yeou git eout! Gc
