Great Rritain'S Public Debt
Compared with Ours.

We have become So accustomed tC see
ing large figures within the last two years
that they have almost lost their power to
create in mems minds the corresponding
ideas In order to give US the full appre
ciatien of their meaning, it has become
necessary to look at them ia relative
manner. and compare them with numbers
which were before regarded as large.
In order for US to fully appreciate the
amount OF eur public debt, we must com
pare it with that ef Great Britain, which
is welknown to be the largest debt in the
world. We propose to show that, rela-
lively, our public debt, is much the larger.
A large debt for a rich nation to pay may
not be so much as small debt for a poor
nation to pay. Then let as see how we
compare with England in wealth and pub
lie debt.
The British national debt was, on the
31st March last, 799, ,802, ,139 pounds ster-
ling, or, reckoning five dollars to the
pound, it was SO, 999, ,0l0,692. The inter
est on that debt, which is 3 per cent, is
.S119,97O,320. By official returns, the
entire wealth and valuation of the nation
was, on the 9Th day of April, 1861, S31,
500, ,000, ,000 Therefore the yearly inter
est is at tho rate of one dollar for $265 SO
Of the valuation.
By the cencus Of 1860 the entire wealth
and valuation of the United States and
territories, was SIC, ,06s Gnelu-
ding 4 100000 of slaves at a southern
lvauation).
Our public debt besides our state munic-
ipal debts and other liabilities, as we have
before shown in these columns, will on
the 4th March next be more than 1868,
427 ,101, and it is all to be funded. and
drawtan interest of six per cent. in gold
which iss150, ,205, ,626. Therefore, the
yearly interest payable,in gold is at the
rate of one dollar for S10150 of the valu-
alton, which is more than two and half
times larger than the debt of Great Brit
ain.
With gold at ESQ, payable in United
States currency, the rate of interest will
make our debt relatively more than six
and quarter times larger than that >of
Great Britain and that, too, as compared
with the resources and valuation of the
United States in 1860, as it then was, and
as it is now.

What Lincoln has Done for
White Men.

We published few weeks since list
of twenty four acts of Lincolns admins
tration for the benefit of the negro; the
Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following
as sum Of the services Old Abe has per-
formed for white men:
1. He has called out two millions and
half of able bodied men to the war.
2. He has sent full million Of white
people to their graves.
g. He has carried mourning into al
most every white household.
4. He has saddled the country with a
National debt of at least four thousand
millions of dollars. which will be an op-
pressive burden and incubus upon the Ia
ber and capital of the country.
8. He has destroyed the Union and
subverted our republican form of Gov
ernment.
6. He has carried want, poverty and
destitution into the homes of the poor by
advancing the price of living to point
almost beyond their reach.
z. He has fatally deranged and de-
stroyed the currency of the country.
g. He has degraded the Nation in the
eyes of foreign nations.
9. He has destroyed the freedom of
the press and of the ballot, and fatally
impaired personal liberty.
This is what Lincoln has done for the
white race! Is not the comparison an
instructive one? If Lincoln is entitled
to the gratitude of the black, ought he
not to racsivA the etarps | curses and m ala
dietions of the white race?

Military Necessity-A Strik-
ing illustration.

When peace, with all its real and sub
stantial benefits, smiles benifcently upon
the people, then nothing is heard Of that
plea Of all tyrants since the world began,
military necessity" But if designing
and ambitious men, Influenced perhaps
by foreign jealousy, ana innate ambition,
after an effort of years, succeed finally in
disturbing the peaceful relations in their
country, and bringing troubles and dis
tress upon the people; then be on your
guard against their insidnous wlles.-
They will tell you of your wiley foe; Of
his courage, his strength, his numbers.
They will plot for your armies to be de-
feated, and your treasures wasted, your
young men to be destroyed and the whole
people to be dissatisfied with their dread
full situation and gloomy prospects, and
then they will tell you that military
necessity dictates the surrender OF the
right Of self government in order to de-
feat the foe The old fable of the horse
is quite appropos as an. illustration.
Esop tells as that the horse, finding the
other beasts of the field unwilling to ac-
knowledge him as their sovereign, applied
to man for assistance in subduing his foes.
Man Immediately consented, and proceed
ed to put the saddle on his back.
s'Halloa" cried the horse, ''what is that
for r.
oOh, it will be necessary for me to get
on your back, and have the full control
of you for time, if am to assist you, F"
answered the man.
The next step was to put the bit in the
herse's mouth, to guide him right. Man
took whip in his hand, fastened pair
of sharp spurs on his heels, and mounted.
The horse did not like the spurs, and OBJ
jected, but was told that it was for his
own good, and that they would only be
used when he did not pursue his enemies
fast enough. When man was mounted,
and the horse about to start on his career
of great conquest, wise serpent addressed
him thus:
''You fool! why have you given up
your liberty thus? You were free, and
now you have placed a master on your
back, aud he makes you do as ne wishes.
Why submit to such despOtism ?
''Oh, you do not understand replied
the horse; Il place this power ia his hands
only for a time, that | may conquer my
enemies; when this is done can just throw
him off. y
The serpent replied, "Neverl you
have surrendered your liberty; man has
obtained seat on your back; you have
submitted to be saddled, and so you will
continue forever hereafter
The horse laughed, and the man cried
out aud plunged his spurs into the sides
of the horse
Don't mind him, he's only copper
head" -
5 just SO with the present Abolition Ad-
ninistration. The saddle, the bride, the
whip, the spurs are all ready. The poo
pie, apparently, stand quiet and ready to
be mounted, whipped, and spurred Do
net be deceived; military necessity will
faston upon you an incubus Of debt and
taxation; military satraps will eat out your
substance and destroy your children, and
finally with large standing army OF
different race (niggerp) they will enslave
you hand and foot Take warning in
time. - EXCHANGE.

How to Vote for Lincoln.

As there are some few persons In this
county who will vote for Lincoln merely
because he is the Republican nominee,
while at the same time it goes terribly
against the grain, it may be of some in
terest to them to know how they can show
th.ir fealty to their party with as little
personal discomfort as possible. A. Mel
horn, Esq, j. p, tells how the thing can
be done. in conversation with a friend on
the high price of muslin, as follows:
oWho cares for few dollars" says he
"when the Governments in danger?
Says I, 81 s'pose you'll vote for Lin
coin again to keep it il danger, won't
yon?" -
He studied little bit, and says he, 81
reckon I'll have to, for l swore | would

me with being sick of the Administra-
ton
Says I, ''Bill, I'm pretty able man,
having formerly been j. p, but | can't see

II can do it." sayshe.
Perhaps you can, says I, but !
would like to know how you are to JUST
fy yourself in the act !"
II don't propose to justify myself,
says he, ''that's another thing.
''Well," says I, chow can you cast
vote that you can't justify, when yor
know that the Government is In danger
"Thsre is only one way to do it.

curiosity of her sex.
