OF Course,

The so-called Democratic press, after de-
nouncing without measure the commutation
clause as unjust to the poor man and as IA
voritism to the rich men, now that it is re-
pcaled denounces the repeal as oppressive
and MISUNDERSTANDING Com i .
The Democracy waseno more opposed to
the $500 clause than they We're to all the
other features of the bill, They are oppos-
ed to conscription as matter Of principle
The whole law was passed against their votes
in Congress. They were in favor of its en-
tire repeal and if that could not be obtain
was they did not put the $500 St clause a into %
the CONSUMPTION bill, but being placed there
bythe Administration they were in no sens e
bound by consistency to help abrogate it
aud at the same time allow other clauses of
the Law to which they were opposed to stand.
