LET IT NEVER BE FoRGoTrBN. That
when the Democratic party went out Of p65S-
er National Debt was thing almost un-
known.
That by no act or deed of the Democratic
party was the present huge debt piled up.
That Radical Congress contracted it,
Radical President endorsed it, and the Rad
ical party embezzled and spent it. i
That On every evidence Of Indebtedness is
the ugly autograph of some Radical plum

TcUcHING INCIDENT I've are informed,
says the Nerwalk (O) Register, that a gen.
tleman recently travelling from the West In
a sleeping car, witnessed the following scene:
In the same car with him was a gentleman
trying to still a crying child by carrying it to
and fro in the same coach, ard which, by its
screams, finally iritated man in one of the
berths to such degree that he could endure
it no longer, and cried out profanely, What
in--is the matter with hatyoung one 2''
that child that she is not here to pacify it ?''.
At this the poor gentleman in charge of the
child stepped up to the berth and said :.
Sir the mother of this child is in her
cofin. in TIE baggage car - Our informant
says the gruff grumbler Immediately arose,
compelled the afflicted father to retire to his
berth, and from that time until morning took
the little orphan under his own care.

The Presidents Speech.

10 the exclusion of editorial and much news
matter, we give the two late speeches OF tho IRE
sident entire.
If his former speeches left doubt as to the po-
sition Of the President, these last will settle It,
After his bold and manly denunciatlons OF the
Radicals upon the Odd February last, several dis
tinguished Senators and Representatives, i'll the
Connecticut election assumed to believe and so
harangued throughout that State, with good effect
no doubt that the difference between the Presl-
dent and the Radicals was one of means and not
of ends, and should not disturb party harmony
and action To dissipate any such notions, II they
ever were honestly entertained, and to draw line
of denarcation between himself and the fanatlcal
majority of Congress- the President seizes the first
opportunity of doing SO. And he does 1t most
tborourbly and effectually. Before he denounced
these men as ''disunionists," but now in view OF
their atrocities and Legislative outrages he proper
" calls them foul whelps of sin.
The onlf between the President and Congress IS
widened, and he now reiterates his firm purpose
of maintining hi, policy, and appealing from Con-
eress to the people in the approaching Congress
ional elections It is to be hoped that the demon
stration of Wednesday last, the occasion OF his
eloquent and impromptu address, is but the pre-
sage of the popular sentiment of the people. This
demonstration was made by the soldiers and sail
ors present in Washington, and the sentiments OF
his address will find an echo in the heart OF every
brave man throughout the country.
The soldiers Of the Federal armies have,
throughout the long and fierce political contest
which has followed the surrender of the Confeder-
ate forces, showed themselves the most liberal and
magnanimous of the northern public. They
learned in bloody schools to appreciate tho cour-
age and honesty of purpose and action which actu-
ated the Southern soldier. Vengeance and contis-
cation find no Judgement in their brave hearts as
they contemplate their fallen but honored antago-
nists. Truly, says the President "Takc the
brave men who sustained the flag on the field and
on the wave and you will find better feelings and
better Judgment on these questions than you will
find with those who have been sitting In the closet
and never smelled gunpowder. Yes, he added
and the fact as he states it is disputable-'r0"'
