DEAD Or DYING
struction I!

A man who, in the full flush of bis usefulness
and prosperity in the hour of his greatest neces-
sty TO society and to his family should be ad
visod By biz neighbors, voluntarily to retire to the
quiet and refreshing rest Of the Sepulcher would
naturally decline the proiiered rope, ratsbane
or razor, and insist upon judging for himself the
propriety Of existing little longer. The Re-
publican Union party is respectfully invited to
expire. Philosopher Edmonds and Philanthro
pist Blair and Patriot Van Buren, all beg it in
the blandcst tones just to remember that il may
possibly outlye It's usefulness. 1t has fought a
good fight. 1t has finished its work. Let it
put on its crown Of glory and 90 up! Singular
to relate, all the Copperheads join in the tender
and sympathetic chorus. They have Away
been willing to have the Republican party cease
from its labors, but now they are more willing
than ever.
We appreciate the loving kindness which
dictates all this dulcet counsel; but We assure
these gentlemen that We must live at least for
one thing--we must live to watch them They
have such extraordinary ways ofjumping about
they are so eccentric in their public notions
and their private motions-thcy are such deS-
pcrate harleQuins, and SO positively protean, so
fabuously frisky and uncertain, that they re-
qure taking care Of and we propose to live to
take care of them. There is, for instance, that
spoiled child, the Prince, the dear, delightful,
Maynard and impulsive creature, with such an
nyc,erate habit of bobbing around" How do
we know where he or the other Johns may be

WEST VIRGINIA.

The victory of the Union party in the state
of West Virginia at the recent election Tor
members of the State Legislature was over
whelming. The Unionists WERE IN advance
sure of victory, and the vote, therefore cast by
them WAS in most counties light; still the
Democrats did not fare better than in preceding
vears Al the Presidential election in 1864,
two counties only, wetzel and Hampshire,
gave Democratic majority, and of these two
Hampshire is reported to have this year given
majority for the Union ticket Wetsei'
therefore will be alone on the Democratic side
unless i, finds companions of its grief in Jetier'
son, Greenbrier, and one or two other coun-
ties in which the former Rebels largely voted
contrary to tho laws of the State OF West VIZ

their length for the next Mcclellan who may
happen to be nominated. With the Republican
Union party dead, there is no knowing what
wild Irish dance these cratic performers might
execute over the body. 1t is perfectly certain
we ask every man OF reason if it be not abso-
lutely certain that they would at once amor
ously affiliate with the rcdhanded assassins Of
the Republic in desperate attempt to set up
once more the idols Of the Man-Owning
Oligarchy. How do we know what
bad measures they would support, or
what good ones they would repudiate How
do we know that they would not vote to assume
the Rebel Debt How do we know that they
would not restore many Of the worst features
of Slavery, and even Slavery itself9 How do
we know, when shifting in their positions, loose
in their morality, possessed by the demon OF
temporary expediency, devoured by seliishness'
they do not themselves know what they Will do
when the moment Of temptation has come,
when Rebels bid high for their assistance, when
reconstructed" States come into the market
to sell the votes which these spectators are
ever eager to buyl If the days which have
just passed were perilous, the times which are
to come are not less so. We shall need men oil
fixed principle, and these men are as unstable
as water; we shall need men Of humanity, ana
these men are stony-hearted; We shall
need men of generous impulses and
these are utterly cold, calculating and
mercenary. We would do them no injustice;
but we do not believe that it would give them
moments uneasiness if the whole system OF
Slavery, with its noxious political influences,
with its bloody code, with its social cruelty,
with its deyish cOncubinage, with its ayowed
and systematic swindling, with its barbarous
disregard of the family relation, should be re-
stored tomorrow in the whole breadth OF Its
badness and the whole length oft lawlessness.
Certain il is that these Northern apostates Will
be precisely the tools which the disatfected and
disappointed adventures Of the Rebellion will
require. We should be willing to stake our
existence upon tho coalition which we regard
as inevitable between these two wings OF what
is left of the pro-Slavery party-a coalition
which Democratic victory here would certainly
accelerate. Wherefore, we propose to 1--we, and
to prevent if possible the mischief OF such an
alliance.

les, II be for the purpose of excluding the Southern peo
pe from all office within their respective States and
stll holding these States in military subsection know
that this is not the policy Of the President and cannot
believe that it will be the ayowed policy OF the Federal
Congress If the Southern members are present when
the roll is called by States they will take part in tho
orcanizatOn of the House and may vote against the
oath being rendered to the members when they are
swOrn."
Coy. Perry here truly aiiirms that no per-
son whom South Carolina, as now politically
constituted, will send to Congress, can take the
prescribed oath without perjury; and yet he
proclaims that those whom she will send have
as UNREASONABLE a right to be sworn in, and to
vote for Speaker and Clerk, as the Representa-
tiyes of Massachusetts,. The Governor will have
to permit us to differ from him on this point.
Those guasi members of Congress who cannot
or will not take the oath Of loyalty cannot vote
for Speaker: he may feel perfectly easy on that
point. 1t is settled.
As to those alleged members from recon-
structed States who can take the oath, the case
is not so clcar yet we hold it morally certain
that they will not be allowed to vote until the
House. fully constituted, shall have passed on
their claims and decided that the bodies clam
ing to be loyal Legislatures of their respective
States have been recognized as such by
Congress. Those States generally went out OF
Congress with an imposing parade OF Secession
and defiance; they will be restored by formal
vote of either House, upon due proof that they
have truly returned to loyalty and utterly elm
mated Slavery from their civil polty.
1t is right that the South should understand
this, and beprepared to take things as they are

Now, then, for the process of Resumption:
Let Congress authorize the Secretary OF tho
Treasury to borrow on long time at low
rates, and on short time at higher rates
,chdieror Sums he may find necessary TO redeem ana
cancel Greentdcks until the residue shall be at par
Nth coin; and let him renew the appeal to the
country so successfully made last Spring through
the agency Of Jay Cooke Il Co. In olher
words-let the People be invited to exchange
their Greenbacks, bearing no interest, Tor othcr
obligations of their Government drawing IN
terest payable in coin. Let this conversion DC
fairly begun, under auspices that assure It's uitl-
mate success. and its result will be " discount
ed" almost Immediately. The premium on Uold
will tumble several per cent. per day until IL Is
down to mere fraction, carrying the Currency
prices of Flour Coal, Beef, Dry Goods, Grocer
les, Labor, and everything else along with IT.
and we may begin the business oinext year OH
a substantially coin basis. And all this need
not very seriously diminish the volume OF our
Currency; since, if Two Hundred Millions oil
paper shall be withdrawn and Cancelled IN oFder
to effect the main object, the Two Hundred ana
odd Millions of coin now in the country-which
is now no more Currency than Iron or Marble
is--will become once more part of the Clrcu'
lating Medium whenever Paper and Coin are al
par.
Frankly we DO not expect that Resumption
can DO promptly effected without contraction
and CONFUSION. Men who have warehouses
full of Pork, Lard, Corn, Wheat, Flour, %c''
which they have bought on credit, VIII be apt 10
realize a loss and fancy the worlds on her beam
ends But the sharp pang Of prompt resump-
ton will cause less injury and loss than the
slow torture of long-drawn contraction. Let
us make the plunge, aud be done with IT.

S actual Illumination since that peTIOd:
SG 4,

Here it will be seen that-although we have
been discussing millions on millions in payment
Of arrears due to soldiers aud sailors from day
to day mustered out of Seryice-we have actually
reduced the aggregate principal Of our National
Debt more than Sixteen Millions Of Dollars
within the last two months. No doubt, the sales
| of gunboats, steam and sail transports, and
other public property purchased for use in the
War and no longer required has materially con-
tributed to this result but we have meantime
paid out two dollars in discharge Of anterior
obligations to soldiers sailors, contractors, &C.,
for every dollar received, from clOsng-out sales.
Ii is certain, therefore, that We have passed the
turning point, and may henceiorth steadily re-
duce our vast Debt if We keep out Of foreign
complications and wars.
We know there will yet be seasons wherein
our system Of stringent and searching taxa
ton will prove less productive than now; but
then we hope our new Congress will be con-
strained by public opinion to inaugurate and
perfect o policy Of Retrenchment which will
reduce, by many millions, the annual cost Of
our Government. We have still mob OF use
less Generals, dozens Of skeleton regiments Of
Veterans, &C., and any number Of diplomatic,
consular or other executive functionaries, whose
places should be abolished or their emouments
reduced twenty to fifty per cent If the People
will only command it, Congress will
razee these to the tune Of many mil.
lions Of dollars; if the People seem indifferent,
nothing will be done. But if Congress only re-
trains from doing evil We may reduce the prin-
cipal of our Debt at least Fifty Millions per an
NUN if our present high taxes are retained. Let
us do this throughout the next five years, and
we may negotiate fresh loans for long periods
at lower rates Of interest, so as to reduce our an.
nual interest to One Hundred and Twenty Mil
lions, our current expenditures to Eighty Nil.
lions, and thus, while reducing our Federal
taxes fully half, have surplus Of Twenty Mil
lions per annum to be applied to the reduction of
the principal Of our Debt.
Thus far our interest has not been diminished
but rather increased, by the liquidation of in
debtedness which formerly paid no interest
with obligations Wherein interest is accruing.
We presume this conversion will have to be
carried further so that while the principal Of our
Debt will be still further diminished, the interest
thereon may be somewhat increased But we
are nevertheless improving our position.
The aggregate Of Legal Tenders in circua-
ton is as follows:
