We find the following address from Major

Tie Raleigh IN. CO. Progress
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1865-11-02

We arc almost daily asked the question
"has the President deserted the abolition
party ~ To this inquiry We are forced
By the peculiar p 81 OF of all parties to
give no definite answer. Aboiitionists
claim him. and occasionally democrat
claims fidelity TO his mandates, but the
majority of the democracy only endorse
him so far as he is democratic 1t is very
evident that the abOlitionists are Sorely
greved over many of the Presidents official
acts, and by the way they viliify the Ten
nessean it is quite certain their endorse
ment extends no farther than ours. The
following from the Washington corrcspon-
dent of the Chicago Tribune reads little
as if the President was deserving them:
Thus, it grieves us to learn that John

miserable Constitutional I,sion Of this
city, whose lying name is but the leas,
noxious of the torrents vf reasonable false
hood with which Its columns have beer

Our neighbor across the way IN his ex-
IRENE anxiety to make a point last week,
confesscs to having caricatured 4 soldier
On the march FOR the front, and another
who got crippled in the service. We
should as soon have thought Of caricatur-
ing any thing else, or any body else as 4
soldier who having gone into the field to
serve his country, returns to his home
crippled for life By the loss of a leg or an
arm. Al olitionists, howeve~ have no scrI>
pies on such subject; they can slaughter
a one armed soldier II their conventions,
caricature in their newspapers one who
has lost lee, and then at the next cleo
tion with shameless faces ask the subjects
of their coarse and unfeeling jokes to
turn round and vote for them and their
party friends. Well if "the old gentle

The Weight and Length Of the
National Debt.

Mr.. James Fair, the calculating prodigy,
has made the following calculation of the
weight and measure Of the National debt,
taking as a premise that its amount is, in
round numbers, four thousand millions
dollars:
4 silver dollar, measures one and a half
inches in diapucter Hence eight dollars,
laid side by side makes one foot, twenty
four one yard. and "a ,240 an English
mile The circumference Of the globe is
Il 600 miles, and therefore s9l2,3SI 100
laid in one line would girdle it. But even
this enormous sum, being less than quar-
ter part of our debt the whole amount of
the latter would encircle it four times aud
overlap by $50 miles.
Now estimating the weight Of q silver
dollar at one ounce, six,eeL of them would
make pound, and reckoning 1000 pounds
to the ton, the entire DEBT would weigh
I25, 900 tons, and therefore 125 ships, Of
/ 900 tons each, would be required 10 for,
ward it by water.
Again, allowing two tons for the bur-
then 81 hcaVy baggage wagon O-,ooV
wagons would be needed to convey this
monstrous mass of indeb. edness in silver
Now an ellipticai circle formed of these
wagons alone ranged lengthwlse with their
teams, would encircle the three cities OF
New Yois albany and Troy.
Still another Interesting guaee of TIL:
huge amount. We've it possible for !, man
to count sec per minute and continue tC
work steadily without ntermission for lC
hours of each day for six days in ihc
week, it would cost him 800 years and II
days to complete the computation by sin
