From the Concord ". III. Standard.
Freedom for the Black Man-Slavery for
the White Man.

A large proportion of the laboring white
men and women of the North have been
persuaded into the belief, that the black
men held as slaves in tie South should be
let free-that Slavery is sin and curse,
and that the slave is a dreadfully oppress-
ed man, and should be set free, and per-
mitted to take care of himself. And the
consequence of this belief, carried out in
political action has caused the disruption
of the Union and the present civil war.
And what are now, and what are to be
the results of this greatest of all disasters
which can befall people? At present,
we are called upon to enter the camp and
fight in war brought about by these mis-
taken sympathies of portion of the PEG.
pie of the Republic for the black men of
the South, whose best condition is that of
Slavery. We are not called upon to sacri-
flee our lives only, but to contribute large
ly of our property to carry ON the war
War is the most expensive of all Injuries,
of all the enterprises in which human
beings can engage, war is the most costly
and expensive. And the war in which
this country is now engaged in order to
carry out the theories and DEGREES of the
North with regard to the Negro, bids fair
to be the most expensive on record. 1t
has already cost more than 100000 900.
1t will cost during the very first year of its
existence, S50O,O00,0O0. Military Com
mittees of Congress have recommended the
organization of an army of 100000 men,
to support which they recommend an ap-
preparation of $500, 100000. This enor-
nous sum must be raised by taxation, and
by loan, mainly by the latter. Thus,
during the first year of the war, debt of
nearly $50O,000,O00 will be created. If
it continues one year longer, sum equal
ly great will be added to the debt. If it
were to be closed the present year, debt
will have been incurred, from which the
nation will never escape. The interest
will have to be paid semi-annuaAy, and
that in addition to the ordinary expenses of

The whole of it has been raised on we'll
arranged loans, plausibly presented by a
very industrious and ingenious Secretary
of the Treasury. Capitalists, who had no
use for their money, under the promptings
fof patriotism, gladly exchanged it for Gov
eminent loans and Treasury notes, which
have been created at various times and is
sued in almost every variety of amount, at
high and low rates of interest, and as cur
rency, sort of forced loan, at 40 interest
lat u. These have justly found wide fa-
for, but none of them have been paid, and
tCongress is even now hating, whether they
twiIl or not authorize direct tax for the
payment only of the interest, at the end
of the year, on such an amount of debt as
the nation will probably then owe. 1.-THE
interest is not promptly paid as it falls due,
and by paying, we mean cash, through the
medium of the tax gatherer, and not by fur
ther borrowing, the credit of the Govern
t'ment cannot be maintained. And if main
tanned by direct taxation, what will be the
feelings and expressions of the taxpayers ?
There are complaints now that this move
ment is unwise, that that was wrong; that
something other than was attempted should
have been done, just as the thing under
taken resulted, successfully or otherwise
but when to this contrariety of opinion and
complaining is added the failure to pay ill.,
terest on the public debt, or is coupled with
the annoyance of the tax collector, we may
imagine the effect on the sock list generally.

Now, any can calculate the cost to each
man to pay the S500,000,000 mentioned
in the above. But supposing the whole
sum will have to be paid by the 20,000,OO
of people in the North, it will assess $25
to every man, woman and child. If we
take the usual average of five to each man
of family, the assessment, will be 1925 to
each man. Dednct about ope third of these
as delinquents, or as not being able to pay,
and the true sum which the war policy will
extort from every man possessed of the
means from which the money can be re.

~ Whilst the Confederate States are
abundantly able to maintain their indepen-
dence by force of arms, yet do they most
ardently desire peace. Said President
DAVIS, in his Message of April 29:-
GIVE protest solemnly in the face of
mankind, that we desire peace at any sac
rifce, save that of honor and independence;
we seek no conquest, no ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
no concession from the free States. All
we ask is to be let alone; that none shall
attempt our subjugation by force. This
we must and will resist to the last extrem-
ity. The moment this pretension is aban-
doned, the sword shall drop from our grasp,

Labor pays for everything. The work
ingman, the producer of wealth, is doomed
to pay all the expenses of all Governments.
All the taxes which the Government i'm
poses, in whatever form they are levied,
come from the toll and sweat of the labor
ing man. Whatever goes to support the
Government, in any form, comes from the
earnings of the laboring man, and so far

es, armies, navies-all the machinery of
their artificial and complex systems,-
which brushes the laboring men of Europe
to the earth, and reduces them to substan-
tial Slavery.
The present war promises to result in
imposing burdens upon the laboring white
men of this country which will lead to the
same results, which will reduce them to
virtual Slavery, from which neither them
selves nor their children will ever escape.
Therefore, in the misguided and foolish
efforts to libsrate the black men in this
country, the white men are forging the
chains of Slavery for themselves, which
neither themselves nor their posterity ever
can break. Let them remember that they
are waging the present war substantially
for freedom Of the black man, and The
slavery Of the achite man. ......

the authorities at Washington with the in
itiation of a me,o policy towards those citi-
zens who are suspected of being unfriend-
ly to their system of government.
In September, 1893, the revolutionary
government of France, being at war with
Europe, discovered that it did not possess
sufficient power to control the actions of
Frenchmen who were believed to be dis
loyal. The convention therefore passed,
on the 18th, Of the month, the famous de-
cree known, as the 0i DIES suspects, the i'm
prisonment Of suspected persons till the
peace. The municipal council of Paris, in
the exercise of doubtful, but potent au-
thority, set forth by formal notice des-
cription of the classes of persons to whom
the law was intended to apply. The clas-
sifcation was SO highly esteemed that it
was adopted by all the departmental Sec
tions of the republic.
Those were to be deemed, among others,
suspected: l. Who in the public meet
ings check their energy by crafty address
es, turbulent cries and threatening Ian
guage. 2. Those who were prudent in
their conduct, speak mysteriously upon the
misfortunes of the republic, affect to COM
misserate the people, and are always ready
to circulate bad news with an affected sor-
row. 3. Those who have trimmed their
language and demeanor according to the
course of events; who emphatically declaim
against the slight failings of the patriots.
4. Those who sympathise with such as the
law is compelled to prosecute. 5. Those
who, although constantly having the words
liberty, republic and country upon their
lips, yet associate with nsoderatists, and in
terest themselves in their behalf. 6. Those
who have received the republican constitu-
tion with Indifference, and have exhibited
false apprehensions as to its establishment
and its probable duration 7. Those who,
although they have committed no act a.
gainst liberty, have yet done nothing for
liberty. s. Those who are in the habit of
speaking coutemptuously ofthe constituted
authorities.
But yet these classes of suspected citi-
zens, who were liable to detention In pri-
son, had, as we see, the advantage of know
ing the precise reason for their detention.
For, unless they were alleged by the accu-
sation of the authorities to be included in
one of the classes referred to, they were
not liable to detention, even in that un-
happy time. Peter Gaspard Chaumette,
to whom the merit of the foregoing inge-
NOUS classification belongs, saw tha pro-
priety of afixing some limitation to the
power of the government to which he be-.
longed. Yet Gaspard Chaumette was GER
tainly good republican, for he was one of
the conquerors of the Bastille, and did
much also that brought him into favor in
the year 1872. He is not one Of our be-
roes, however, and we do not, for historical
reasons, cite him as an example for imita-
ton. But we may name him as warn.
ing, for we assuredly see in this country
the governmental power Of detention exer.

What the Republicans Prophesied.


The Republican press and orators, during
the last Presidential campaign, prophesied
that the election Of Lincoln. -. -. -.
"Will give peace and quiet to the coun-
try, of which it is sadly in need:
That all branches of industry will re-
vive, business will be good, and wages
high -
That "it will kill off the heresy of Sc
cessiou for all time to come"
That " it will strengthen the Union, re-
store confidence and friendship between the
people of the North and South :"
That " he will have an economical and
pure administration, and so conduct affairs
as to reinaugurate the times of the earlier
Presidents" ... r
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS pRoPHEsIED.
The Democratic press and speakers, on
the other hand told the people that the
election of Lincoln,
Will result in the disruption of the
Union:
In the destruction of all trades and COM
MERGE:
Widen the breach between the North
and the South:
Throw the laboring masses out of en-
ployment: i III f.'
Bring down the price of produce, increase
the taxes of the people: ..5
And worse than all, would be likely to
create long, bloody and expensive civil
war between the sections.
Reader, Lincoln was elected. Judge
for yourself whether the Republicans or
Democrats were correct in their prophecy.
