admitted fact that those purists who sup
port the Administrations of Lincoln aud
Dennison have stolen more from the Gov.
ernment, from the brave soldiers, than ell
the money that has been abstracted from
the Treasury for half century. Since
the 4th of March-Republican papers
themselves being the Witnesses there
has been regular carnival of corruption,
that puts to shame everything we have
seen in that line. The conduct of the
| Democrats in the war is also another evil
dence of their warm and ardent patriot
ism, that has extorted praise from even
! their political opponents. While oppos.
ing the policy which has led to it, believ-
ing it unnecessary and injudicious. they
were the first to respond to the call OF
arms, when they were left no other re-
course. A large majority of the officers
I and soldiers who are now in the front OF
the enemy, are Democrats, while those
. who have instigated the war, preferred
that way of settling our difficulties to a
j peaceful compromise, remain comfortably
at home, assailing other Democrats and
i Upion men, who have ever been and are
now. for their country, as traitors. These
leaves, drawn from the great book of the
} past, indicate the policy to be pursued by
J the people in the future. Turn out tn,
politicians of the Lincoln and Dennisor
stripe as quickly as possible. They hav'
shown themselves incompetent to govern
the country. Turn them out at the elec
tions as fast as you have the opportunity
and restore to power that organization
r which would have, if it had been permit
ted, averted all our present evils, AM
! whose policy yet can alleviate and mti
. gate them. @

TIE SKATING SEAeoN.-Tha weather within
tie lest day or two las indicated an approach
to that condition Of The barometer to which the
yotaries Of skating look forward with so much
pleasure The skating season this year pro-
misses to be Tie most attractiyca and enjoyable OF
any Hat we have had since the opening OF the
Central Park. The addition Of fresh facilities
for dc patrons Of the amusement on the lakes
and ponds of the latter, and the organization OF
skating clubs on a large scale in Brooklyn and
other places in our vicinity, are likely to give
an immense impetus to the sport. 1t is said
that great numbers of ladies will this season
venture on the ice, tho vogue having been
given to the good old pastime Of their Knicker-
booker ancestors by the brilliant achievements
of some Of our leading bellies in that line last
wiater, We wish them all good time.
