FamIl1es once comfortably supported on
a dollar and-a=half a day, now struggle to
keep the the wolf from the door" with
three of Mr.. Chase's pretexts for dollars
La Crosse Democrat.
OF course, men who hate the Gov
eminent under which they live, can
easily find fault, without stopping to
inquire whether they are reasonable
or sensible. Now how is it in this
case? IF the price of living is the re-
suit of the issue of greenbacks, then
it would follow that for gold or. silver
we could buy as much, with given
amount, as ever. But this is not the
case. One dollar and thirty five cents
in & Chase's pretexts for dollars will
buy dollar in gold Now can we
buy as much for dollar in gold as we
could five years ago? Certainly not.
The difficulty is that when people get
hold of a good thing they do not like
to let go of it. When gold was worth
25O in currency prices of produce and
all articles of prime necessity, and
even of luxury, went up, and produ-
GERS and merchants who had before
been pinched, became suddenly ac-
customed to handling money, and
when the price of gold went
down they could not consent, to
go back to old habits. A spirit of
speculation and extravaganza sprang
up, and men became lavish of money.
Common goods and plain living
would not do. A new style must be
lived up to, and furniture once con-
sidered very fine and nice was sent to
auction, and new, at three times the
price, took its place Traitorous cop
perheads set up the howl about the
difficulties of living. and few silly
ones are caught with the clap-trap.
Sensible patriotic men reflect before
they decide, and find the chief fault
is with the people themselves, and
that whatever of hardships and suf- |
fering there may be in the land, they
are the result Of the effort made by |
the Democratic party to destroy the
Government, in which villainy they
were assisted and encouraged by such |
papers as the La Crosse Democrat.

There have been twenty-nine fires in

SoME Of the Union papers, in re-
ply to the pleadings of the organs
ST the Confederate Democracy, for
mercy and forbearance on the part of
the Government towards JEFF. Davis,
have published a proclamation issued
by that very forbearing and much ia
jured individual, ON the 18th of Au-
gust, 1861, in response to an act of the
rebel Congress, passed on the Sth of
the same month. The proclamation
was for the Punishment of all who
adhered to the flag and Government of
their fathers, under the threat that
they would be treated as alien enc.
mics The proclamation was worded
as follows:
1, Jefferson Davis, President of thesCon-
federate States of America, do issue this,
my proclamation; and do hereby order
and require every male citizen or the
United States, of the age of fourteen years
and upward, now within the Confederate
States, and adhering to the Government of
the United States, and acknowledging the
authority of the same, and not being a citi-
zen OF the Confederate States, to depart
from the Confederate States within forty
days from the date of this proclamation.
And do warn all persons above described
who shall remain within the Confederate
States after the expiration of said period
of forty days, that they viii be treated as
alien enemies.
Blessed are the mercifnl," the
Good Book has it, 6 for they shall OBJ
tain mercyp 1t requires an incalcu-
liable amount of brass on the part of
Mr. DAvIs's friends in the North to
insist that he be set at liberty, with
out even the formality of a trial, in
the light of the above proclamation
and the. atrocities of libby Prison,
Belle Isle, Andersonyille and Sails

and indiscriminateo prescription has |
never been thought Of in the loyal |
States for moment, much less talked |
about Had President LINCOLN is
sued, proclamation similar to, the |
above, we presume the Northern
States would have less traitors within
their borders than now are found
there, but we rejoice that he did not
do it, notwithstanding. The Union
party can afford to be magnanimous,
and although its patience may be, as
it has been, sorely tried blythe irnper-
Thence and impudence of the worst
of criminals, We hope it will continue
to maintain its self-possession and do
nothing that is not absolutely de-

In speaking Of the Congressional
Committees Reconstruction Plan, the
Indianapolis Herald uses the follow
ing language, to which we call the at
tention of our readers:
Really this so-called reconstruction plan
OF the Republicans has dwindled down TO
small matter, to nothing-as plan of re-
construction. All there is in it is simply a
proposition to amend the Constitution so
as to base suffrage on white population.
This is its effect, if the whites do not give
suffrage to the negro afterward, which the
Republicans, over in Washburn's district,
say they are opposed 10 doing. This plan,
therefore, in reality, kicks the negro out of
the Government. 1t allows him neither to
vote nor TO be represented. 1t separates
the races, gives the Government exclu-
sively and emphatically to the white race,
makes this n white mans Government
both in voting and representation. lief
fectuaIly extinguishes the negro.
All, indeed Then you admit that
the Republican party is the "achite
mans party, after all? We thank
thee, Judge, for that word. The Re
publicans have kicked the negro
out of the Government, have they?
SO be it. We suppose, then, that we
will have no more twaddle. about ne
gro suffrage and negro equality, which
the Herald, and rapers of that sort,
have been INDUCING in for the past
four or FIVE years. The report of the
Committee effectually extinguishes
the negro" does it? Then, if
the negro is extinguished, pray
let US hear no more about
him. unless the Herald chooses to
play the part of body snatcher, and |
resurrect the carcass to make offensive
the politics of the country We ap-
prehend that such will be its course
during the present political campaign. |
While admitting that Congress has
''extinguished the negro" it will res
urrect the body, to weep and groan
and gibber, over its untimely taking
off. Brought upin that line of bust
ness, the Copperheads hardly know
how to turn their attention to any
other political employment. They
don't know how otherwise to profta-
bly, invest their capital. Heretofore
the institution Of slavery has yielded
them rich returns ON very small out
lay of money and brains, and nothing

Our Copperhead M. C's.

Indiana is afflicted with but three
Copperhead Congressman, and can get
along well without an increase of the
tribe. Hendricks, in the Senate,
shames the manhood of his con
stituents by speeches against Consti-
tutional amendment giving them
equal representation with the late re-
bells, and mourns, as one without
hope, over the prospect that Missis-
sippians will no longer be permitted
to exercise twice the political influ-
ence and power awarded to an equal
number of Indianians.
Niblack, in the House, votes
against resolution to try Jeff. Davis
according to the laws of the land, and
would tendex the blood stained starry
er of prisoners public ovation, if he
could.
Kerr proves his devotion to De-
mocracy by delivering prosy speeches
against the niger, and voting in the
interest of the ex-rebels, and in favor
of disfranching one half his own con-
stituents for the benefit of the South.
They are beautiful trio, worthy of
each other, and the rotten party they
represent.-Indidndpolis Journal
