THE FEARFUL 1NDTCTMENT.-Mr. Dawes
of Massachusetts, in his speech in the House
of Representatives, recently, in the defense
of the Committee on Contracts against the
imputatons of the corruptionists, uttered
these Words
"The gentleman must remember that in
the first year of Republican Adminstra-
tion, which came into power upon professions
Of reform and retrenchment, there is ndu
bitabe evidence abroad in the land that
somebody has pundered the public Treasury
we'll nigh in that single year as much as the
entire current yearly expenses of the Gov
ernment about $62 900, 900 during the Adj
minstration which the people hurled from
power because of its corruption"
There are papers in California that almost
necessarily denounced the former Admins
tration for alleged frauds; but the present
one receives no censure from the virtuous
souls. Let Democrat steal a hundred dol
lars, and certain papers would move heaven
and earth to have him punished; let Re-
publican rob the Government of millions,
and the affair is passed over in silence.

The Chicago Times thus pointedly aud
effectively curries off that braggart and Alb.
oltionist, Ben Wade:
In 1859, Ben Wade Of Ohio, in a speech
deli dace!!i'Yared on the Western Reserve, justified
the rescue of certain alleged fugitive slaves
from officers OF the United States who had
apprehended them, declaring that the rescu.
ers had acted just as he would have acted
and AS he would act whenever occasion pre-,
senlel itself "And more" said he 81 will
seek opportunity to violate the fugitive slave
law" In the same speech, speaking will,
reference to pending application for writ
OF hd6eas corpus in the case Of The rescuers,
he said: eff the Supreme Court of Ohio
does not grant the habeas corpus, the people
of the Western reserve must grant it-sword
in hand if need be-"
This was rebellion, and the South have
only initiated it.
No man is as fierce now AS Wade against
the Southern rebellion.
He is very beautiful patriot certainly.
The Times might have added that in y
speech in the Senate, a few days ago, Wade
said: "7hat man oho talks about the guar
runties Of the Constitution, avho stands bv the
hdbeas corpus, who maintains that no man
ought to be deprived of life or liberty without
process of lar, is a traitor"
Verify he is "beautful patriot"

The FIDDLER TO BE PAlD.-The Detroit
Tree Press in aluding TO the tax bill now
pending in Congress, says:
Our Northern people have been dancing
an anti i,slavery jig, and now they must pay
the fiddler. That is all there is of it. We
fancy when the time comes to .ork over, thew
or at least most of them will inwardly con.
clude tiat they are paying "too dear for the
whisHe." The great injustice of it all is,
that those who resisted political anti slavery
with all their power, "who have thonsand.
times warned the people of the inevitable
result, bear equal burdens with the incan-
diary aboltionist who has brought this load
of debt upon the country. lf secessionists
and abolitionists, political anti slavery lead.
ers and Southern conspirators could be made
to pay the shot, it would be exactly right.
But no, the innocent and guilty have got, to
suffer alike. We will not grumble, however,
if after all dangers and trials, we shall have
a country saved with Constitution unim-
paired. Let no man, however, who has
aided political anti slavery try to cheat his
conscience and deny his responsibility for
these lamentable results
Every man of ordinary intelligence knows
that, if there had been no warning by the
people Of the North upon Southern institu-
tons, no political anti slavery, this war
would not have occurred One mIstona
will not crush the grain, two are always ne.
cessary. So Southern conspirators never
would have been able to grind out the rebel
lion grst without the neither milestone of
Northern anti slavery TO aid them. One was
just as indispensable to the result rs the other,
and it will require nice adjustment OF ths,
scales of Justice to discriminate in favor Of
either, when the moral guilt of both parties
shall be tested.

Undeniable Facts.

When the Republicans in 1860 were begr
gng the people to give them power, one Of
their tavorite arguments was: Turn out the
old regime and give power to "Young and
pure party"
The people needed their appeals; now
mark the sequel.
The Hon. Mr.. Dawes Of Mass, a Republi.
can, said in his place in Congress: More
money has been stolen from the Treasury du.
ring the first gear Of the Republican party,
than ecas taken during the whole four gears
of the late administration"
ES- The Chicago Tribune, we'll known
Republican organ, says: Where one dollar
is stolen by contractors .fve are stolen by PUB
Lie OFFICERs!"
Ets- 1t is said that CAMERON made for
himself and friends THIRTY MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS by Fraud and Peculation
Bay 1t is estimated that cut Of the public
debt-about One Billion-TWO HUN.
DRED MILLIONS has unnecessarily gone
into the pockets Of officials and speculators!
icfs- And what aggravaes the enormity
of these stupendous frauds is that it will
seon have to be made up off the working men
the industry and property Of our country.
To say nothing about the war, this
Young and Pure party has established an
unenvabe reputation and the Chicago Plat.
form has not been the point from which all
blessings flow! These Parties of Day
these NEW, YOUNG and PURE organizations
are good for REGULATORS but not for the Peo
