THAD. STEVENS, the Chairman of the
committee of Ways and Means, of the late
Congress, in speech not long since, said,
substantially, Of the public debt, that it is
generally estimated at four billions Of dol
lars, and that in his opinion it would reach
far beyond that figure.
Taking the above statement, coming as it
docs, from high Republican authority, as
true, and for the purpose of showing the in
comprehensive character of the public debt,
we put the following questions; and for the
benefit and information Of taxpayers, we
give the answer thereto.
QUESTION. How long wi it take a man
to count the public deLt it being four bill
lions Of dollars, (4,OOO, 900, ,0O0), allowing
him to count $3.50 in a minute, working 10
hours day and allowing 365 days to year?
ANSWER. 73years, 81 days, 6 hours and
40 minutes.
From the above we deduce the following,
to-wit
fit requires period of time reaching
seven years beyond two generations Of men
to count the public debt, how many gener-
ations will it require to earn it with increase
OF interest and meet the ordinary expenses
and demands of the Government, cyea eco
nomcally administered, besides, allowing
the same number of years to generation ?
We leave this for the solution of Repub-
licans-and by the way, as Mr.. BnowN is Il
financial man and candidate for the suGra.
ges OF the people this fall, we suggest that
it may suit his convenience to solve the
Samn.

The majority in the district for General
MCCLELLAN was SIC. The soldiers are
now at home where they can hear, read and
investigate both sides, and many men who
heretofore voted with the opposition will
vote for immcdicte Union, equal taxation
and white suffrage. With these advantages,
We are confident the district can be carried
by largely increased majority over that
of last tall.
Let every Democrat do his duty All are
alike interested in having corruption, cx-
travaganco and negro equality put down.

Policy.

Ask an abolitionist what position his
party and candidate for Governor occupv
on the negro suffrage question, and he will
answer by saying he does not know that
1t Is policy to support it in the Northern
part OF the State and to say nothing about
it further South
General Cox refuses to answer the in
quiries of soldiers as to his position
10 the niggers of Oberlin he tips the slv
wink that he is all right.
God hates a coward
General Cox is political coward, and
his Obcrlin letter and his daily speeches
bear testimony to the fact.
The party which nominated and supports
him is led by cowardly politicians. Tho
great Republican party of Ohio--thc moral
party which has preachers to stump for it,
claims God for its leader and equal rights
for its lleaven--thc moral and religious
party--thc loyal and patriotic party which
breaches niger and equal rights-is led by
a man who dare not tell soldiers whether
he Is for or against negro suffrage.
Brave candidate
Brave party
We are reminded ofthe bull which backed
up forty rods to jump a wal--made the
rush, and--quictly lay down when the wall
was reached! Shame on men who dare not
speak out in defence of their principles.
With majority in the State last fall,
with the down-trodden African on his knees
lmploring vote, tho great Cooled party
dare, not meet the issue, but sneaks off and
plays the game of dodge with the intell
gent voters of Ohio.
Brave Republicans You are courageous
when you can
Mob Democratic printing Offices
lmpriSon Democratic editors
Hunt an honest man and drag him at the
hec Is of mob with a rope around his
neck
W hen you can close prison doors on those
who indulge in free speech
When you can rob, steal and murder.
Yes, you are mighty brave then.
But when it comes to standing up for
principle, there never was sneaking sheep
thiefor hen house robber but had more
bravery.
Are you not ashamed of yourselves and
of your candidate ?
lou had betterlet politics alone and hence
forth devote yourselves exclusively to sheep
stealing, MODS, prescription and such amuse-
mgntS.
God hates coward
The vote of Ohio on the 10th Of October
will show the hatred of the people for
cowardice.

What we want to Know.

If DEylN and BRowN be elected to the
Senate of Ohio, we have no doubt they will
vote for striking the word white" ont of
the Constitution of Ohio, to the end that
the negroes may be enfranchised but
what we want now to know is whether they
will compel white people to change their
complexion, lengthen their heels, increase
the scnSativeness of their shins aud wear
wool instead of hair. We have no doubt
that in the event of the Republican party
remaining in power the people would be
vastly benefited 10y these little changes in

naturalization.

1t is important that persons Of foreign
birth residing among us should not forget
that the naturalization laws have undergone
an alteration which dispcnscs with the fy,
years residence, in the case Of persons who
have served in tho army. BY the act pass
ed IN 1862, aliens 2l years OF age and up,
wards, who have served in the army, and
received an honorable discharge, are cnti.
tied to naturalization papers without giving
the previous notice of their intention to be-
cemc citizens required by the former law,
and 1t is necessary, in their case, to prove
only one years residence. We commend
this alteration of the law to the attention
of discharged soldiers of foreign birth, and
advise them to procure naturalization pa
pers in season for the fall election.

How TO Organize u Township,

10 secure success, the work Of thorough
organization, if not already accomplished,
must be Immediately attended to. To Sc
cure the full vote of township the follow
ing plan will be found effective:
lst Have an efficient Democrat in each
school district to make out list of the
voters.
ID. Have the district committeeman see
every Democrat before the day of election
and obtain his pledge to be at the polls.
3D., BE at the polls when they open with
your lists, check them off as they vote, and
at o clock send for all who are absent
4th. Urge upon every Democrat to be at
the polls early and remain all day A strong
force of Democrats at the epolls will give con-
fidence to the weak and faltering
9th. Use every honorable means to secure
the floating and doubtful vote of your town
ship for our ticket. 1t requires but change
of ten votes in each township in the State
to elect General Morgan.
We implore the Democracy of the several
townships of Holmes county to act upon
these suggestions with energy and prompt
ness. Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty"

expected, to implicate the rebel authorities in

OF the radicals, those who know the feeling
Of the Executive authorities say that Wirz's
punishment will not be death by hanging.

"Democrntio Utternnce..

The infant phenomenon who was an
nounced to speak a piece at the Copper
head school exhibition last evening, aud
who did not come, has forgotten to reit-
crate the wicked lispings which he was
taught to repeat last year. That deluded
prodigy is oblivious to the fact that re-
cords are kept of the sayings and doings
of the teachers, tutors and pupils of the
political seminary to which a benighted
guardian has made him ar indented ap-
prentice. Poor lad ! we struggled TO
suppress a tear when Us we were returning

Of a sympathizing woman, saying
"Lct me kiss him for his mother"

peated by one OF such tender years, bias
phemies like the following from the Ash

"Thi, is a damned Abolition pGr. We

such a declaration as the following from

Mr.. Lincoln's Visit to Fortress Mon
roe-His Mission a Peace one.

NEW YoRK, Feb. IA Times Washing
ton special, says: Secretary Seward early
this morning telegraphed the President
from Fortress Monroe that his presence
was needed at once. Upon the receipt OF
this dispatch the President proceeded in Q
special car to Anuapolis, where govern.
meht vessel was awaiting to convey him to
Fortress Monroe. .r-4
The Tribune's Washington special, says
the rumors last evening is that Mr.. Lincoln
VIII offer the rebels general amnesty
and repeal of the confscation act JEFF.
Davis is said to be on the peace path to
meet Lincoln, but among the facts and not
the rumors is a Significant one, that this
whole peace mission business has been
excluded from cabinet consultations, and
that Mr.. Fessenden has not been consulted
about 1t any more than Stanton, Indeed it
ls understood that Postmaster General
Dennison and Mr.. Seward only have been
let into it and advised with.
Leading members of the Committee on
the Conduct of the War openly denouuce
the business tonight, and predict that
We shall be sold out, and that the peace
we shall obtain, if any we do, will dis
honor US. They charge that the negotis-
uons permitted have already stopped re
crutting in every State, and stopped the
subscription of money to raise bounties,
and have so demoralized the country that
it would submit to an improper peace
rather than further carry the burdens of
the war. They charge, too, that the po-
litical result of the business will be to
strike down and throw out, one after the
other, the strong men of the Cabinet and
Government, to divide the party that cleo
ted the President, and to Tylerize and
throw Mr.. Lincoln into the arms of the
Democrats.
In the meantime the Richmond papers
of yesterday have been received. Their
voice is still for war, shrilly, loudly, de-
The Worlds Washington special also
says:
Only Mr.. Seward has been consulted in
this matter, and that the prompt action of
him and the President shows disposition
to make concessions that will secure peace.
The radical portion of the party however,
are much offended at their action and
threaten Investigations, and moderate men
declare that the administration are pre-
pared to make concessions, and those who
profess 20 know the SouEh say they will
accept nothing short OF recognition.
