COUNSEL TO DEuocRATs.-We We particularly
commend the following paragraph to the
pcrusal and practice of Democrats who are
parents and who do not desire to have their
children taught to detest their religion and
abhor their politics:
Look to your children. The ready pensof
thousand writer's are busy infusing false
hood into their minds, concerning late events
and their causes. All the channels of our
literature are filed with their peryersions,
prejudice and malignity. If ne. expect to
preserve a free government, we must watch
the influences that are brought to bear in
forming the minds of the young. Danish
from your houses everything that sayors of
the doctrine Of Federalism, or q fondness for
despotism. Drive out the partisan histories
Of the war, by Tory and Abolition writers,
if you cannot take the better course of put
ting the truth By the side of them. The
school, the press and the pupit, are at press
ent doing the work of indoetrinating the
youth of the country with the love of strong
governments, admiration Of military and
contempt of civil power; and the propriety
of blending church and State. in general
crusades of REFORM Take heed that our
children, and through them the country, is
notpolitically dragged to death.

SUPPING THEIR OWN GRUEL.-Iiquor pros,
ecutions in Massachusetts, have taken an un-
expected and interesting turn. Caleb cush-
ing, leading counsel for the Liquor Sellers
Association, has found Federal statute,
passed in 1882, and aimed at South Carolina
nullifcation, providing in cases involving
the revenue laws, the United States Courts
may or shall issue mandamus bringing the
cases before themselves. The General Gov
ernment collects revenues from liquor sell
ing, SO the liquer dealers counsel obtained
from the g. S. Circuit Court an order stop
ping thesliquor prosecutions, and tran ster.
ring the case to its own docket. 30 all
prosecutions under the State law stop and
wait for a decision in the Z. S. Supreme
Court, for the liquor dealers viii not be con-
tented short of decision by the full bench.
As Massachusetts has of late contended that
there is no such thing as State sovereignty
and that the General Government has the
RIGHT to override in State as well as National
matters, they can now sit down and suck
their thumbs, under a practical result OF
their own teachings.

Neptune was considerably affected by
this decision, aud turned aside to hide
his emotion, although there was really no
necessity for it, as the gods would not
have stolen it, each one having quite
enough of his own.

not the case, for although they are called

has no allusion TO their parentage

Calhoun on NATIONALITY - In
the year 1919, the great South Carolina
statesman attended divine service at a
village Episcopal church, near where he
was sojourning. The late Bishop Gads-
den ofhciated, who used special prayer
composed by him in reference to the tlien
prevailing cholera; and the gentleman
who accompanied by Mr. Calhoun says
that he sat up perfectly erect when he
heard the word "nation used in it;
which. by the way, occurred frequently in
the Bishop's sermon After the services
were over and he. had shaken hands with
all his neighbors, the two got into buggy
and started for home g Nation p q ma
tiont' q nation - repeated Mr.. Calhoun.
as if to himself. 9. 1t is strange that Il
man Ike Gadsden, who ought to know
better, would use such a word. There is
no truth, no real meaning in it. All such
things tend to consolidate the Govern
ment, and produce wrong impression.
Gadsden knows better. When the Con-
stitution was formed the word national
was not used. Gen. Washington mover
used it, nor did the founders. They
speak of the General Government, the
Government Of the Federal Union,' but
struck out nation in all places; and the
preamble of the Constitution reads, we.
the people of the United States We
are not nation, and the word was never
heard of until recent years. Union
should be the word; but there is word
wanting. People speak of national
song. Union song would be one mode Of
expressing it. Denmark, Sweden, DC,
are nations. Russia is not a nation-it
is an Empire. American viii be the
word in time

NATIONAL DEBT.-The = Occasional !"
of the S. T. Bulletin, writing from New
York, thus refers to the National Debt.
Had he put the amount at four thousand
millions ne would have hit the mark
The funded debt is already over twenty
eight hundred millions The States war
debt, the telegraph announced the other
day, was five hundred millions, while the
outstanding greenbacks and legal tenders
are not less than seven hundred millions.
When State claims are all audited and
funded the debt will amount to considera-
bly, over $4,000, 1000. This debt is a
first mortgage on every mans property.
Divided out, it would be tax on every
man that would frighten him if he had to
assume his proportion of it as a private
debt. In the lump nobody fears it, be-
cause nobody cares to understand it thus.
Take New York city. 1t is estimated
that every mans share of national, State
and city debt amounts to 81 900, for the
payment of which there is lien on all OF
his earnings. Nine years ago Helper
published book called The Crisis, Ga
scarce work now). IF I remember, he
put down all the wealth of New York
State at 81, 800, 0,000,O 600; say the wealth
of all Pennsylvania was 81 200, 900, 900.
This would make the two States worth,
if sold out at their valuation, So, 900, ,000,-
600, or little less than the national debt.
All New England, put under the auction
eer's hammer, would not probably pay up
what the war has cost. All the States
lately in rebellion certainly would not
