Joliet Forever

The late election resulted as might
have been expected in this town, The
Democrats had everything their own way.
The Republicans did not run ticket, wise.
~ deeming 1t unnecessary to do so. The
candidates elected for Supervisor, Assistant
Supervisor, aud in fact for all the Offices,
are Democrats Of the unquestiona5Ie stripe.
The fact is, Joliet is all right. Repub>
lIcanism has nc show here at ALL No
other town in Northern Illinois has cons
tinued as true to Democratic principles -
In these times when Republicanisn has
we'll nigh destroyed our country, it is an
honor to be citizen Of the firm Democratic
tlwn Of Joliet.

The April elections, held in various
states, have in the main resulted favorably

In Wisconsin the democratic candidate
for Supreme Judge is elected by 5000
majority over his republican opponent. 1t
was made warmly contested political
fight.

ceeded by about $500 majority, and that
only by bringing home on furlough four OF

Platforms,

We notice that our Democratic friends in
various parts Of the country are laying
down platforms aud enunciatiOg sentiments
for the future guidance of Democrats. This
is all well enough, as far as the individuals
making the avowals are concerned, but we
protest against being committed to any
particular policy, until the proper time for
action comes.
1t is vel! for the Democracy to meet and
critisze the acts and policy Of the Admin
istratiou, and to approve or deuOunce ss
they may deem proper, but to advise any
new theories or policy, is not called for at
this time. The only platform we need for
our guidance is the constitution, and by it
we should try the acts of our opponents.-
We should discard all propositions having
no other chjsct in view than partizan az
grandizemeut, aud look only to the good of
humanity and our common country
Hence, we shUuli not pledge ourselves to
support vigorous prosecution Of the war,
because il would reduwn to the success of
the Democratic party, if we did not think
its prosecuti v Culd Q FOR the best interest
of the country.
But believing, as We do, that under the
present policy no possible good can be ac-
comI lished By a continuance Of the war. we
are in favor Of accepting terms of pence, as
soon as the nation can do so without viola
ting honor and the constitution. We never
could see any good to come out of the war,
unless it should be conducted with the view
Of restoring the Uhion as it was, giving to
the people of all the States the same rights
and privileges enjoyed by them before the
| rebellion.
We know some Democrats argue that we
mus st sustain the Administration, in its
violation of the constitution and all, until
the next Presidential election, for the rea-
son that by that time the war will sink the
Republican party so low that Democrats
triumph will be certain. This is beggaring
the question. We do not want war on any
such terms. 1t is stated by members OF
Congress, that terms for an honorable and
just peace have been rejected by the Ad,
miDistratipn. This being true, we cannot
see how any true friend of his country can
cry for more blood. Surely has not our
country been already sufficiently deluged
with blood, to satisfy the desires Of polite
ans. 1t is time the people were heard
Let VUice 90 out in favor Of peace, and
let this business Of making platfOrms-at
least war rla,furms-cease for while, uu
less the men making them are willing
to shoulder their muskets and 20 into the
fight themselves.
We are in favor of peace, and we dom
stop ID inquire whether it would beaef
our party or not And as the first peace
measure, let the President Withdraw hi
unconstitutional emancipation procIama
ton. Let the people of all sections of thu
Union be assured tina. as soon as they re
turn to their allegiance, they will be guar
anteed their constitutional rights. Let u
hear no more about negro equality, O.
American citizens Of African descent,
and let reason once more resume her sway
If this be DONE the war would not las
three months.

The NatIonai FINANCES.

The taxpayers, and all. the poor as we'll
as the rich, under the Abolition system of
taxation, are ax-payers, have not very
cheering future presented TO them IN the
condition Of our national finances.
Il is estimated, if the war goes on, that
our national debt on the 1st of July, 1864,
will be 81 227 600 900. being about one
seventh of the total valuation of property,
real and personal, slaves and all, in the
whole United States, as shown by the cen.
sus Of 1860. But as it IS DOT probable that
the seeded States can be relied upon to
pay their proportion Of this vast sum, the
burthen will fall upon the Northern States.
Illinois will have to provide for at least two
hundred million d. HAIRS of this sum, if the
appOl tionmeht be made upon the basis Of
representation in Congress-. This in ad.
dition to our present State debt and 10.
creasing expenditures, will furnish our
people with enough to keep them busy in
the future.
A national debt of 50, 227, 900. 600! In.
deed it is difficult TO comprehend the mag
nitude of such an enormous sum. By mere
ly hearing or reading the figures, we get
but faint idea Of the amount. An IT.
| curing genus has given some interesting
estimates on the subject. He estimates
that Is the sum OF our national debt lay
before a man in silver dollars, and he could
count one dollar every SECOND of time fer
twelve hours every DAY, il would take him
nearly one hundred and fifty years tc count
it. In silver it would require about $50,
900 horses to draw it. 10 ten-dullar greer.
backs, placed end to end, il would reach
more than round this globe. In FIVE dollar
greenbacks, it would reach more than
twice around, and in One-duliar greenbacks,
it would reach eleven times around the
world.
We merely mention these facts that our
readers may form better conception Of
what Abolition ianatisim, swindIing, and
secession have cost US.
The people are already taxed in every
immaginable form and to on extent that
we cannot see how they are to pay, ard
yet the amount iaised is but q note in
comparison to the large sum required to
pay even the accruing interest on the debt.
Secretary Chase may manage to keep the
credit Of the Government up little while
longer. but any rejecting mind must see
that we are rapidly approaching nationa
bankruptcy.
Yet, notwithstanding the alarming at
titude Of our national finances, no disposi-
ton is shown on the part of the Govern
meDt to retreuch. Extravaganza and
swIndling 60 unr ebuked, and population is
regarded as merit deserving of Executive
favor. 1t seems that the fanatics are bent
on utt'r ruin and that what they cannot
accomplish by unconstitutional proclama-
tions and DEGREES and the sword, they viii
make up by destroying the national credit
in heaping up debt beyond the ability o.
the people to pay
This is gloomy picture, but it is vel
that the people be apprizsd of the true con-
dition of affairs that they may be prepared
for the load which their Abolition masterr
are preparing for them.
