1t will be seen that the law makes a diff.
fernce Of $751; 900 per year, in the above
estimate, between the man who lends his
money to old Abe to carry on the present
Abolition crusade, and the one who refu-
scs to do SO, and yet, with all this advan-
tage to government lenders over others,
the money cannot be obtained. The Unit
ed States are actually in the market Of
fering Is l 2 per cent for money, and can
not obtain it, while individuals can get
any amount they wish upon real estate for
9 per cent; and even less, for allowing for
the difference in taxation, the money loan
ed on real estate really only nets about 3 l.
2 per cent. Here, then, is the signi6ca
fact for the people to think Of The gov
ernment is Offering nearly tiye times as
much for money as is paid in ordinary
business, and yet cannot get it. And yet
we are told by the Abolition newspapers
that the public have unlimited confidence
In the financial soundness of the country
These facts, however, tell another story.
The truth is, sensible and thoughtful men
have no confidence whatever in the fnan-
ces. They know the debt is nearly double
the published amount, and that no de-
pendence is to be placed upon the prom
lses of the present Administration. 1t
has been gigantic cheat and falsehood
from the beginning, both politically and
financially. fit were even honestly ia
natical, there would be palliation. for its
numberless and unexampled outrages, but
its course has been such vile mixture
OF devilish cunning and cruel malignity,
that it has nothing to recommend it to
torgivness for single one Of its atrocities.
1t has burdened the white laboring mas
ses of this country and generations still
unborn, with debt, for the purpose of
degrading them to level with negroes.
1t has taken the clothes from their backs
and the food from the mouths of their lit
tie ones, in order that lazy niggcrs may
sport in ''sojcr cloths or bask in the sun
in idle incidence. To-day it is feeding
thousands Of useless niggers and still more
useless nisgcr missionaries from New Eng
land, out of the Treasury, the taxes for
which are wrung from the swct and toll of
the laboring classes. White men expend
their impatient energies in the broiling
sun to tccd contrabands and support a
standing army to overthrow liberty in half
Of the States of the country. White
women are now compelled to work in our
harvest fieldes, as in Europe, to take the
place of the men whose lives have been
sacrificed to the negro idol. Such is the
condemnation of our land. groaning under
debt that will never be paid, and yet the
madmen are calling for more men and
more money to keep up the slaughter and
destruction. Fifteen per cent can be OBJ
tanned for blood money and only three per
cent for peace purposes, and yet SO great
is the growing feeling against this Aboli-
tion crusade, that the exchequer of despo-
tism is empty. The people desire an end
Of tbs bloody drama. Theyar sick of the
sight of soldiers uniforms. They had bet
ter be laid aside for the simple garb of the
industrious workman who adds to the
wealth and glory Of the country, who is
producer instead of destroyer. All the
laws that Congress can pass to tempt mon
ey into the coffars of the present Admin
istration will not suffice to enable it to ac-
complish its desi gns. The word failure"
is written upon every step of progress
Even in the hour Of their most conspicu-
Gus successes, they have accomplished
nothing. They capture city, but the
people are not conquered. They "free"
the negroes, and yet they are Slaves"
All they can boast of as sure, are ruin
desolation and death in the path of their
invading armies, taxation and poverty at
the North, desolaton and misery at the
South, and should frowning Provide nee
allow these madmen to succeed in all they
propose, the South would be howling
wilderness and the North diseased mon
grelism, whose innate corruption would in
cvitably compel it to perish in its own rot

effects of his reelection
