THE TERMS UPuN %uJCH TmF PRESIDENT
WILL MAIZE iEACE WITH TIE RADICALS.
The New York Times makes the following
proposition to the Radicals, which we take to
be President Johnson's uItimatum:
":The exclusion of loyal men from Congress-,
y violation alike of their rights and of tho
Constitution. Is the muiu, ifnot the sole. caiise
Of the present d ference 0fsent ment between
them little Union minority in Congress had
been in its action true TO the principles of the
Union party, and had not allowed itself TO be
swerved from those principles by the adroit
and reckless Vaccinations of men who have
WITH them no sympathy whatever, this con-
fict would never have arisen. Whenever that
same majority can throw off the iDfiunces by
which it has beer uisled, and come back 70
its original and. true position that eopfi4t will
end aud all the dangers which now seem to
bT impending over the Union party aud the
country will be forever in the deep bosom Of
the ocean buried"

OUR CERCU1ATIoNIAND pRospDors.

OUR CERCCLATIoNIANDP PROSPECTS.
We>dn not intend to boast of our circula-
ton, nor to say that VIC have q larger circu-
'atlon than any other weekly paper this side
OF the Blue Ridge; but we do mean to saw
that our paper goes to a large number
OF TIE Business men OF Jefferson. and that
our list of subscribers is steadily increasing
and will wager a lot of old type, that when
our'peQple have recovered somewhat more
ornathe;npecUniary shocks Of the war, the
Spirit Will have larger bona f,1e list ofsub-
scrlbers among the Is solid men of the coun-
ty: than has eyer heretofore been had bv it or
any otheriPaPer printed at Charlestown. The
course CT the !Spiit-cspccialIy on the Aoaae
question Of the transfer Of Jefferson to West
Virginia, has been warmly commended and
approved By the citizeas OF this county; and
We are7daily adding new subscr ptions to our
list, composed of men who fully appreciate
our efforts in exposing the frauds by which
it is attempted to disposscss US of our tights.
One. thing is certain, no paper has been
started since the termination OF the Way, that
has bearded the Western Virginia concern,
and her dominccving officials, with greater
fearlessncss, and we are sure, none has been
read with deeper interest. We have some
times thought that the efforts we were max
ing deserved more liberal encouragement,
and that those vino were deeply Interested i'll
this question of our transfer, should take
ATeiier interest in extending the sphere of
Our usefulness, but we have never had the
slightest doubt as TO our ultimate success in
establishing the .SPirit Of J5a,sSn upon a
trim basis. As N earnest advocate of the
cause of the people, we have felt that we
merited their support and would in time re-
cciyc it. We now appeal to them to come
forward and aid US in our undertaking, and
we pledge them renewed efforts in their be-
half Let those who have already subscribed,
pay their subscriptions and let each sub
scriber now on our list feel himself obligated
to procure a new name. In this way, we
shall be enabled to improve the paper and
add to its interest and influence among all
classes.
By constant effort we have secured fine
advertising patronage in the city OF Balti>
more, which in time we are sure will return
to us much of the means which it has been
necessary to expond in procuring it. In
starting the paper found it necessary to
exert ourselves to this end, and this exertion
has met with success, as our columns will
show.
The want of facilities for doing job print
ing has been draw back to our success, but
this has been overcome, as we have recently
purchased, at heavy expense, fine assort-
ment of job material, and in few days will
be prepared to do job printing in style I'M
surpassed by any Office in this section. SO
we invite those who have anything in this
line to do, to give US call.

the scarcity Of ready money with our coun-

Christmas, provide years supply. The

met with warm response in the hearts Of
all present.

The Public Debt--Its Magnitude


The public debt of the United States ac-
cording to Republican authority, Is at least
SEVEN THOUSAND MILLIONS OF dollars. If
all the farms of all the States and all the
Territories were sold, the product would
not pay the public debt! But some Radl-
cal may dispute this. Let him turn to page
1877, of the preliminary Report of the
Eighth Census" and he will md that In
1860, the cash value Of all the farms in all
States, North South, East and West. and
In all the Territories amounted to six thou
sand six hundred and fifty million, eight
hundred and seyenty-two thousand, five
hundred and seven dollars. Hence if our
farmers were to sell all their houses and
lands at their cash value, and apply the
money accrulng therefrom to the payment
of the public debt, and themselves become
homeless, landless, houseless, the United
States would still owe more than three
hundred million dollars and be bankrupt
Farmers, laborerA taxpayers think OF
this. ...-E .
