MOCItAEIC PURIFY.

The opposition are just now very busy
in hunting up charges of dishonesty
against Union tfficiuIs, and the 0ppoin-
tees of the President especially. Whole.
sale charges of fraud and corruption are
made against them, and the idea held
out that L democrats held the offices
these things would not be. o! no, the
immaculate, the pure, the honeSiS demo-
Gratis would not dcfrauI the Government,
would not show any faroriteism, not
they. The men who, in these times of
save trial and heavy taxation, build en-.
gine houses, market houses, school hous-
cs, iron fences, &c, in order that one
democratic councilman may sell brick to
the city, at exorbitant rates, another
democratic councilman lay them up at
high rotcs, and third democratic couu-
Gilman do the plastcriug at his own fig
ures, and make enormous profits, would
not show iayoriteism if tho administra
iion OF the government were placed in
their hands. Contractors would not grow
rich under their very honest administra-
ton, aud taxes would not be high under
democratic rule. The men who erect
public buildings to give themselves fat
contracts, and create the office of wood
mcOsurcr to gi5e democratic politician
place, and heap and pile up city ard
county taxes, until they exceed the State
National and war tax, should certainly
be entrusted to manage our State and ma
tonal affairs in the name, and by the au-
thority of the demOcratic party.
II is an easy matter TO talk about the
great democratic pOrty," aud the "noble
unicrriticd democracy" and the "dcmoc.
rOcy of old Seneca" and the "staunch
old party" and the party of J,ffcrson,'
and all such Kind OF idle boast, and lus.
tian. We want to knoy who are the
men who are to do such wonders in the
future, under the auspices of the old dem
ocrauc party Are they 10 como from
the same class who manage, SO soonom-
ieGi'y, the affairs of our county and city,
and who accomplish so much in the NJ
, dGciioH Of the taxes of the people. Is il
proposed to admin isler the affairs of the
State and Nation upon the same demo,
cratic basis upon which our local Affairs
arc now administered, and is it proposed
; to increase our State aud National taxes
IN the same rstio, as our local taxes have
been Increased by this very oconomica a
party, within the last two years. Ii SO
: our national debt, instead OF being ooun
J tod by millions, would have to be eounte,
by billions, aud figures would fail 10 con
, vey to the mind ANY adequate idea Of III,
enormous load we would be required /,
