have been engaged in the most DIES.

would tear it down. We have in thai

and at times the skies looked dark

war are those in debt. A merchant
with a stock of goods on hand worth
say $4,000, and half paid for; will
not realize therefore enough to pay
what he owes. When the goods are
all sold he will find himself still in
debt for them five to ten thousand
dollars, and this debt he must liquid
ate, principal and interest, with gold
or its equivalent, or go into bank
ruptcy. The consequence of the end
of the war on the debtor class will be
to increase every mans debts about
125 per cent. An obligation of S4,-
600 will become, in practical effect,
$4,000. That is, it will require pro-
perty or labor now worth in curren-
cy $4,000 to pay it. A note out
standing drawing ten pr cent inter
est, will then draw what would now
he equivalent to twenty-five per cent,
or thereabouts, to say nothing of the
principal of the note, the difficulty Of
whose payment will swell in cor
responding ratio.
Our advice is for every man to pay
off his debts, and contract no new
ones; TO pay cash for whatever he
buys, and he cannot do that, to go

too much sail. Keep plenty of bal

PROGRESS ~ THE RIGHT DI.
RECTION.

The World, in discussing the po
sition of the Democratic party with
regard to the question of abolishing
slavery, is very anxious to get the
party, as party, freed from the die
agreeable consequences Of opposition
to so salutary a measure. 1t says:
The number who oppose the abo.
lition of slavery (now minority is
not likely to grow large, but to grow
less, with the progress of time. Ev.
cry Democrat can, of course, hold
whatever opinion he chooses on that
subject. Such opinions are no long
er of the slightest political conse-
qleace. Individual Democrats will
thia,l what they please; but the sub
ject must be dismissed from the range
of topics on which the party is eX.
pectel To have distinctive views. -
There is no conceivable position on
the slavery question on which the
Democratic party can plant itself and
become a majority.
This is undoubtedly to pave the
way for Democratic members of Con
gress who have persistently clung to
the dying institution of slavery, to
free themselves from furthor compile
ity with it, without endangering the
party. 1t is undoubtedly true that
there is no conceivable position on
the subject of slavery that would
give Democracy the pre- eminencc.-'
Its guilt is too great. 1t can never
be freed from the stains.
