/ dollar and those who are too mean to pay
their taxes 1t they can escape their payment,
L will occupy your attention for one moment
on this subject. At the end of the PENN
sula war the debt of England was about FIVE
thousand millions of dollars. 1t is now a
little less than four thousand millions of dol
lars Her last war loan III that war was sold
at fifty three cents on the dollar, payable In
deprecated paper But net a single bond
Of the United Sta es is below ar, and near
ly all command a premium. The income
OF our treasury for the past year, IN the very
midst of the war, was nearly three hum
dred mill ms of dollars The increase in
the value of our real and personal property
from lS40 to 1850 was sixty-four per cent. /;
from 1850 to 1860 it was one hundred and
twenty-seven per cent. The income of our
productive labor for 1860 was nearly two
millions of dollars
We have rich public lands, and almost
enough of these alone at one dollar per acre,
to pay our debt at the end OF the war. We
have more than so, 900 miles Of Railroad,
finished at cost of 81, 200, 900, 900. Fifty
thousand vessels of the Republic wniten ey-
cry ocean. The increase in the tonnage on
our " estern waters in eight years, was 800
per cent. Our exports OF grain have reached,
in a single year. $500, 000 600. Agriculture
gave the nation, IN 1860, 81, 1000, O00 !;
and when our fertile lands are well eultiva-
ted, this sum viii be multiplied hundred
told. Our territ )ly is nearly "a large as all
Europe, with its forty different empires.
The increase Of our population since lI90
has been SIX times greater than thatot Eng
land, and ten times greater ttan that OF
France; therefore the burden OF our debt
will sit but lightly upon nation whose
home is a continent, whose soil embraces
the product OF every land, whose people, by
their industry, thrift and skill, multiply
their resources an hundred fold, and whose
population grows with rapid!ty which Is
without parallel in history. As | said be-
fore, it is the purpose of our enemies to dis
hearten the people with rumors of our ina
bility to pay the National debt; but they
have not examined the question and do not
wish to examine it; they only desire to draw
| away from their allegiance the friends OF
the Union, and induce them to accept an
ignominious peace upon the terms OF dlsso-
luton.
But the he hour is growing late, my fel-
| low-citizens, and | find myself compelled to
curtail my remarks When the proud old
| flag of our fathers shall again float, in tri-
umph over the walls of Fort Sumpter, and
over every inch OF territory belonging to our
ancient inheritance and when all the peo-
pie Of the land shall live in peace and amlty,
and treason shall no more raise lts wicked
head, then will the most skeptical and tim
id be constrained TO admit that this notle
Government of or fathers is not destined
| to premature decay, but that the noble old
Republic still lives, and shall live forever
Long continued cheering.

A PICTURE.

Mcclellan SAYS that he would use every
means known to diplomacy TO terminate
the war peacefully at once, but on no ac-
count would acknowledge more than one
government in the Union.
The rebels constantly declare that they
are determined on independence, and will
listen to no terms OF peace unless they are
based on that.
Mcclellan says that in case Of the failure
of such negotiations, he would continue the
war.
The Administration, having ascertained
the condition of things long ago to be pre-
cisely as Mcclellan would find it after vast
ing months of negotiation, goes On with the
war.
Mcclellan says that the war should be
prosecuted solely Tor the restoration of the
Union, and that it should be the only con-
dition of peace.
The rebels say that they would sooner sur
render their slaves than give M their inde-
pendent confederscy; hence in trying TO
change the war to a contest for the Union
with slavery Mcclellan struggles for an i'm
possibility
McClei an offers to guarantee State rights
to the rebel States if they will return to
their allegiance
Butt rebel States have less rights under
jeff Davis than they ever had with US, and
so oligarchs would have more power than
thev ask for or ever had.
Thus Mcclellan offers a negotiation which
would be fruitless, to avoid war which is
inevitable and unavoidable; restoration of
the Union on impracticable terms the pre-
servation of slavery which even the rebels
do not nope for; State rights, which the
rebel States have cast off and repudiated ::
and all merely to enable the Democratic par
tY to regain nower

CURIOUS CONSISTENCY in the report of
Major Marcy Gen McClellan's father-in-
law, on the Red River expedition, to which
the General was attached, it is stated that
AN interesting collection of reptiles and 9TH
er specimens, in alcohol, was also made un-
der his (McClelans) superintendent. It
is little curious that the. ability which
first brought him to notice should remain
unimpaired through many years, and adorn
the last as well as the first chapter of the
ton though embracing single variety in
stead of many-the copperhead in the place
of all-was made in the interest of the same
individual but the other day; and as if to
continue the parallel. it is more than inti-
mated that many of the latter were preser-
we'd in the same liquid with the former.

A clergyman had two daughters who were
much too fond Of dress. which was great
grief to him. He had often reproved them
in vain; and preaching one Sabbath day on
the sin of pride he took occasion to notice,
among other things, pride in dress. After
speaking some considerable time on this SUBJ
ject, he suddenly stopped short and said,
with feeling and expression: But you will

look at home till nv heart aches"
