s~ A statement from Gen. Scott is pub
lished which fixes upon the Democratic lead
ers who had possession of the Government
previous to Mr.. Lincoln's election and inau-
guration, the responsibility and the guilt of
permitting the secessionists to organize for
midable rebellion That the responsibility Of
the rebellion rests upon those Democrats who
were in power at the time it was organized

men engineering the Democratic party at this
day who supported Buchanan and his Cab

F Advice is very cheap, but still we are
tempted to say a word. There is a consider
able expansion Of our currency, and prices
of everything are thus enhanced. Greater
expansion is yet to follow with still farther
advances in price Of goods, produce and Ia
Dor and then of real property. This inflated
and artificial condition of things offers tho
best opportunity of paying debts-makes it
easy to pay. On the other hand it is the
most dangerous time to go into debt. BY all
means get out of debt and keep out 1t is
the only safe course. Our advice to every
man, no matter what his business, is to keep
out of debt. a

A WONDERFUL DocuxENr.-Judging from
the tone of the Democratic press, the Presi-
dents proclamation is marvellous document.
A perusal of the New York Herald, Express,
Journal Of Commercs, Missouri Republican,
Chicago T.mes, Cincinnati Enquirer, Musca
tine Courier, and others Of that stripe, en-
abled the reader to discover the following Pc
culiarities of the proclamation:
1t will destroy the Union.
1t is harmless and impotent
It will excite slave insurrection.
The slaves will never hear Oft.
1t will excite the South to desperation.
The rebels will laugh it to scorn.
These are q few of the attributes which the
Democratic press give to the instrument.
~ The selfstyled Democratic organs are
Growing loudly over their ''gains' in Ohio and
Indisna. But party never boasted over vic
tories 80 dishonorably and unpatriotical!y
achieved. While the true Union men have
gone to the field Of battle to fight for the Union
and the Constitution, the Tories have sfaid at
home to open fire-in-the-rear on the defend
ers Of the national flag The one party sends
half its members to the army to put down the
rebellion, while the leaders of the other keep
theirs at home 70 cote and seize upon the offices
for the purpose Of embarrassing the govera'
meut, and playing INTO the hands Of the enc
nv. And partisan triumphs obtained under
such infamous circumstances are hailed as
*sgreat Democratic victories Democrats
who love their country more than they do par
" viil take no stock in such victories.

The $3.50, ,OOO, 900 TAX The armv of AS

holders are prying into every mans dining
room and parlor, and his workshop and store

they can extort dollar or two from his hard

of the end" This tax, as We stated recently,
is sufficient to pay the interest on TWENTY

such paragraphs as the aboves Can it have
