The Reason WhY.

We have heard it several times asked,
why don't Gen Mead advance? ? The
question is easily answered. The Ad-
ministration, more intent upon carrying
the elections, than defeating the rebels, so
depleted the ranks of the Generals army,
that he was unable to contend with the
enemy. The crushing out this rebel
lion by the Administration, seems to be
a mockery. They told the people, at the
commencement of our troubles, that the
war would be ended in thirty days.
Nearly three years since that time have
passed away, and we find our armies
nearer to Washington than when they
first set foot against the enemy. Where
in the future, under the present policy, is
the hope for the patriot, or the encour-
agement for men to volunteer? Have the
people any assurance, that three years
hence, we will be any nearer a settlement
of our difficulties, than we are at the
present time? The reluctance with which
men enlist, is the strongest evidence that
the people have lost all confidence in the
present Administration. But there seems
to be total disregard for the wishes of
the people, and if conscription will sue
ceed in raising men and money, we may
expect to be harrassed by repeated drafts
To contractors and others holding fat off
ces, this war is source of profit; and of
course they Were promised before the cleo
ton, continuation or a new lease of
plunder, which must be fulfilled. This is
why Meade was robbed OF his soldiers.
and he allowed to fight his way against
the rebels the best he could This is
why the defeat of the people at the ballot
box was hailed by the Administration, as
victory and why the entire Abolition
press announced the result of the elections
as far more important, than the defeat of
the rebels. 1t may be 50 to them, but is it
source of rejoicing to the people, who
were SO unfairly defeated! Were the
elections to come off to-day, we would an
ticipate different result, for hundreds Of
voters have had their eyes opened TO the
fallacy by which they were induced to
cast their votes in favor of the Admins
tration. But the principles of Democracy
are not crushed out, but viii yet surlnount
the artificcs of our defeat. The Demo
cratic party, instead of being weakened
has gained new strength, with which she
will yet batter down the miserable des-
potisrD about to be forced upon the people.

Delinquent Subscribers.

Did any of our delinquent subscribers-
for we have some-ever think of this {?
"What would you think of a farmer
who had raised thousand bushels of
wheat, and who would sell it to a thous-
and different persons scattered all over the
State, and agree to wait a year for his
pay from each OF them, and if one half
OF them did not pay at the end of the
year, he should give them another bushel
OF wheat and agree to wait another year
for his pay, and thus go on year after
year? How long would such farmer
escape bankruptcy? Probably not much
longer than publishers Of newspapers who
follow such a practice 1t costs the edi-
ter OF week. y paper as much to supply
thousand subscribers with 1t for one
year as it costs farmer to raise a thou
sand bushels CT wheat The farmer sells
his wheat in bulk. Newspapers are sold
to thousand different persons, living in
different towns in the county, and differ
ent counties in- the State, and he must
wait till the cud Of the year before he can
get his payment, and then he depends
wholly upon the honesty and responsibility
of the subscriber, for it is impossible that
he should know the character OF all his
subscribers 1t will not pay him to 90
around, or send around the county to col
his dues. 1t would cost more than the
collections would come to-"
We hope oar readers viii one and all
think of this, and endeavor to square off
al least once year. We have many
persons on our list who have never paid
US anything.

POnpGSitY.

Senator Sprague and Miss Kate Chase,
were married on last Thursday, at Wash
lngton city, with as much pomp and os-
tentation, as would attend a royal we'd
ding on the other side of. the Atlantic
There were one hundred invited guests at
the ceremony; and over five hundred
guests were invited to the reception, which
took place as soon as the marriage ceremo-
nies Were concluded, and lasted from
nine O'Clock in the evening, till midnight.
The . Old Rail Splitter" and his wife,
together with the heads of Departments.
foreign Ministers, and the Lord knows
who all, were also present at fhe mar
riage.
The bridal presents were estimated to
have cost over one hundred thousand dol
lars; and the wedding ring, five thousand
dollars.
Thus it is, that while the homes of
thousands of poor men have been made
desolate by this war, such upstairs as
Governor Sprague, and Secretary Chase,
who have tattened on the misfortunes of
the poor, reveI upon their iII-gotten goods
The growing prohIgacy of our public
tunctionaries gives serious cause for alarm
They have tendency to result in an ar
istocracy, who will not only plunder and
revel upon the revenue of the nation, but
will fix the destinies of the poor man to
level with the serfs of the old world.

Now that many are preparing for the
dreary reign of winter, it would be well
to remind the rich, who dread not its icy

around US who are destitute, and lily pro-
vided for the winter There is a field of
harvest for the philanthropist to work in
at home, without extending his sympa-
thies for the 'spoor negro slaves of the
South" There are widows and orphan
children, made destitute by this war, who
feel the hardships of poverty and whose
sYmpathies have claims upon the charity
OF their more favored mortals. They
who are in good circumstances, should re-
member, that while the approaching win
ter brings to them bright visions Of sleigh
rides, revelry and meIriment, its cold
