Where Does the Money Com,

! Itis we'll known that the regular sub
scribers to the Tory papers in the Nortl
have nearly all stopped their subscrip
tions. And yet these papers are pub
lished and sent all over the country fire
in multiplied thousands. The Da
Bank, Journal of Commerce, Ne,cs, ant
Others of that class, are sent into tn
West for distribution, in such number
as shows that the money which pay!

Twas flush of funds, the inference would
be easy. that they were supported from
that quarter, But, JEFF. Davis, being

has much to spare for that branch Of
the service. Whence then comes the
means BY which this flood of treason is
made to inundatea the lapd2 There is
but one rational answer to this question
I Il is we'll known that both England and
France harbor no friendly feeling to this
country. Break up the Union, and in
the petty strifes between the sections.
each in turn would become the easy
prey of these powerful nations But
they know very well that so long as we
are united. no power on earth can harm
us,zlor pesent the progress of our
country. Their only hope of checking
that progress, and finally bringing US
into subsection to their sway, is in our
divisions. And for the accomplishment
of this purpose, these Governments
could well afford to lavish their gold in
unaccounted thousands.
The gold of England bought our
Arnold, and sustained the Tories during
our revolutionary struggle, and it is not
to be supposed that the Traitors and
Tories of to-day are overlooked by the
same power in this effort for our over
throw. a.a91 @ &a
That the desperate demagogues who
have had control of the Government for
years, are thoroughly selfish and basely
corrupt, no man doubts. They see that
their hold upon the Offices and treasury
of the country is gone forever. They
know that the people, once convinced of
their utter proAigacy can no more be
duped by them. And in their despcra-
tion, these unprincipled villains are
ready to sell their country for whatever
price they can get.
That they are paid by British gold
for their treason to their country, we
believe as firmly as We believe Benedict
Arnold was. How else could they find
the means of spreading their Tory
sheets over all the land? And what
motive could they possibly have for
doing it, other than that of corruptly
bought-up traitors.
These ''Arnolds" have unfortunately
obtained the control Of the mere ma
chinery Of the Democratic party. And
through the party organization ttey
hope to be able to use the honest votes
of that party for the accomplishment of
their internal villainy. "Arnold'' him
self would have been of no special use
to the British Government. And it
was not for himself alone that the gold
was counted out to him. Itwas the sur
render of the patriotic army which he
controlled, which England wanted, and
through that, such division of our
forces as would have made US an easy
prey to her power. And so it is now
1t is not the mere editors of the Dag
Book, the Journal Of Commerce, the
Neacs, or the Crisis, for which
England lavishes her gold. But
it is, that through these leaders, the DEM
ocratic party may be betrayed into a po-
sition that uW aid England III the ac-
complishment Of her purpose TO check the
rising greatness Of the country, andthrough
oar 7irisions enable her to control our
destiaies
What proportion Of the Democrats
of Ohio can be used by these "Arnolds,' -
remains to be seen. We are happy to
know that they cannot be all SO used
And we would family hope that but a
very small faction will offer themselves
the willing slaves to ELL the contract
made by their leaders. But time will
show.
