State Interest Paid in Gold or its
Equivalent.

While Governor Curtin and the Aboli.
ton majority in the Legislature have been
using every effort to dishonor the State
by arraigniDg to pay the State interest in
paper, our worthy Democratic State
Treasurer has stepped in between them
and fraud, and paid the creditors in good
faith, The Philadelphia Age of yester-
day says;
"Thanks to the Democratic party and
its worthy representative in the State
Treasury, Hon. VIM. V. M'Grath, this
day the interest on the State debt
will be paid in gold, or its equivalent
Those who will receive the benefits Of
this escape from dishonesty, and those
who are only interested in preserving our
honor and credit, will not forget to whom
they owe their good fortune, and by whom
it was stoutly opposed

The One-tenth Scheme.

The Administration policy onunciated
in the last Presidential message, which
looks TO the establishment Of bogus govern
ments in the Southern States, through
which che Administration hopes to con-
troll the Northern States, and thus perpet-
uate its power, is being attempted in Loui-
siana. A correspondent of the Chicago
Times writes
"The game has already begun in Loui-
siana. Already o convention () has been
held there, composed, not of citizens of
Louisiana, but Of abolition advcnturers
from the North, runaway slaves, free ne
groes, and white men who, by the laws Of
that State, are debarred from the elective
franchise. There might have been few
legal voters in the convention, but the
above constituted by far the largest num-
bsr Of persons present. These facts 1
have from gentleman, sincere Union
man, man of large property, who has
been for the last twenty FIVE years citi-
zen Of that State. TheAe negroes and
Northern adventurers are engaged in a
plot to reyolutioniEe the State Of Louisiana
and bring that State under the terms of
the Presidents Proclamation. Negroes
voted in that convention the same as white
men. The legal vote of Louisiana is
about SO, 500. According to Mr.. Lin
coins Proclamation, it only requires s.,
$50 votes to overturn the whole social and
political organization Of The State, to abol-
ish the old State constitution, and to place
these negroes and Northern adventurers
at the head of affairs in Louisiana
These 5000 votes can easily be obtained
First, 1000 soldiers will be marched up
to the polls and made to vote then $500
negroes will be brought up, and their
votes taken; lastly, the adventurers from
the North will vote ; and 10! the work is
done, and Louisiana will be free State
in the Union, by the Presidents Procla-
mation. What the sc, 900 real voters in
the State will say to all this is q matter
of not the slightest consequence. And
when all the old State governments are
swept away in the South, how long will
it be that we are permitted to retain our
State governments at the North ! 1t is
time that the eyes Of the people were
opened"

The PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN-lt is
said that lOo, 900 copies of a certain maya
zine are abou, to be issued from an Office
in Philadelphia. This, of course will be
at somebody's expense. The new "ssri-
al'isis said to be "for general and gratu-
,tous circulation" but, on inquiry being
made why such a magazine should be thus
published, the only answer attainable was
that nothing could be said until the work
was examined. This examination would
show that the first article the magazine is
an elaborate sketch of the life ofSscretary

Who are for the UnionI

Blatant as they are on the subject of
"loyelty," there is not q Lincolnite in the
United States who dare, to proclaim him.
self an unconditional Union man under
the Constitution. Their "loyalty" is the
allegiance Of the subject to his king, the
aerf to his master. They are ''loyal" to
lincoln, but disloyal to The Constitution,
the Union, and every principle of free
white mans government. On the other
hand, every Democrat in the land is loyal
to the Constitution and the Union, and
opposed to Lincoln, his administration end
his party, because they are disloyal, and
every day plot and practice treason against
the government as established by its foun-
ders, the patriot fathers of the revolution.

Put them In the front.

The abolition preachers and the Quak.
ers, says the AHento,Oh Democrat, did
more than any other bodies OF men and
women in the land to produce this civil
war. For that reason, if for no other,
they should be made to do a fair share of
the fighting. But ever since the conAi CT
began they have taken precious good care
to keep out Of the way Of danger, and
they are even now praying Congress to
exempt them from military duty on the
ground of their contentious scruples.---
Yet common sense suggests that men
whose consciences allowed them to do SO
much towards provoking this bloody do
mestic strife, should not for any moral or
religious reasons, be relieved from the
militia service which every citizen owes to
the Government in time OF war. In truth
if all that class of persons in every COM
munity who are war men in time of peace
and peace men in time of war, were Justly
dealt with by the civil authorities, they
would be first called upon to shoulder
arms aud made to take position in the
very front rank of the army in every bat
tie. BY thus killing off all such meddlipg
mischievous, incendiary fomeptors of dis.
cord and strife, the people might hope that
when peace is once fairly restored, there
would be increased security for its per.
manence. There would probably be no
objection to the exemption Of the honest,
upright Clergy gyman, the faithful and devo.
ted Minister of the Gospel. But those
asking it are generally Of that class who
from the begginnig of Abolition strife
preached from their pulpits against peace
and in favor of war, with all its horrors,
desolaton, bloodshed and misery. 10
them widows tears and orphans cries,
desolated homes, anguish, hatred, destruc-
tion of property, morals and even of
wise and liberal Government and happy
country, were nothing--"slavery must be
wiped out at all hazards" That was
their cry, but now cowardly infdel blood
and butchery preachers in question have
the effroptery to ask to be excused from
assisting to rid the Nation of the terrible
calamity they labored with such ,devlish
zeal to bring upon it. Let them not be
excused-rather let every preacher who
dares to,prolane pulpit by gabbing Abo-
lition nonsense be compelled to enter the
ranks--a pulpit dedicated to the Lord, ,and
not 10 the advocacy ofill-will, hatred and
blood shed. The impudent cherlatans
who thus profane holy places, bringing
all religion and good morals into disrepute
and dragging them down to the low level
Of ribald jest or the vulgar harangue of
an ignorant stump demagogue who has no
character 10 lose and scarcely soul enough
to save, ought to be the very last men to

Gen. Mg0lellans Report Sharp
letter to Stanton.

We are not now surprised at the anxiety
OF the Administration to keep Gen. Mo.
Clellan's report of the Peninsula camp aign
from the public gaze. As soon as il was
asoertaiped that he was not willing to con-
vert war for the restoration Of the Union
into one ior negro emancipation, the Rad.
icals determined upon his removal from
his commad Of the army. His letters to
the Administration, exposing their blum
ders, were sunk, either in the Presidents .
private bureau, or in the tomb of the war
department, while, at the same time, con.
gressional committees and Abolition con-
spirators were engaged in loading him
with SANDER. Seventeen months ago Nc.
CLrLLAN's fate was determined on; and
from that moment, until the present he
has been constant mark for Abolition
detraction.
On our first page to-day we publish
McClellan's letter to Stanton, written af.
ter the bloody battle OF "Gaines' Hil,''
a battle which he fought against his own
judgment but in pursuance Of impera, We
instructions from Washington. The let.
ter in question will give the reader an
idea of the criminal neglect of the Admin.
istration in failing to adopt his timely
suggestion. Had he, instead of measur-
ing the forces of the enemy, and making
timely suggestions to the Administration,
demonstrating how to successfully con
front them, confined himself to issuing
emancipating proclamations, be would
now be high in the cauncils of his most
malignant traducers. But he appears to
have contemplated the man at the head Of
War Department, and wrote to him accor-
.dingly; this letter of the General was per-
mitted to pass without reply from Mr..
Stanton, be of course being unable TO an.
swer its reasoning or allay the indignation
of its perplexed and afflicted author.

The State Interest.

We are glad to learn that the dishonor
proposed for our State is, thanks to u
Democratic State Treasures, postponed
for the present. We are informed that
Mr. McGrath will be prepared to pay the
interest on the State debt which comes
due the lst of February, in coin or its
equivalent. An effort will, without doubt,
be made by the lower House to carry in
to effect the Infamous proposition OF the
Governor, to repudiate; but the want of
organization of the Senate will fortunately
prevent the accomplishment Of their design.
Thus will the widow and orphan, and the
many objects of legal guardianship, who
have been compelled by State laws to in
vest their fortunes in its loans, be enabled
by Democratic action to purchase with
their income more than one third as much
more as they would have been able to buy,
had the Republicans had their will with
the finances. How much additional COM
tort this will bring to many homes; how
much pinching and sordid penary of living
this act will save, only the hearts of tho ose
who have tremblingly contemplated the op-
posite picture can tell. 1t is some sslis-

ic friends to feel that he and they will have
