A Pointed Reminder to Tax
PAYERS,

The Chicago Republican concludes an
article showing up the misrepresentation
of the Democracy on the public debt and
taxes by the following historical facts
0Whatever increase of taxation Is re-
quired to pay the principal and interest of
the National debt, the Democratic party
is alone responsible for it. No Republic
can State rebelled or seeded; no Repub-
lican became a rebel, OF fought against
the Union; the whole Republican party
were true to the Union from first 10 last,
All the States that seeded were Demo-
cratic States; the only men in the South
who advocated secession were Democ-
rats; the men who maintained the rebel
lion for four years were Democrats; the
men In the North who sympathized with
the southern rebels and kept up 8 fire in
the rear on the defenders of the Union,
we're Democrats and the Northern Dem
ocratic opposition to coercion ofthe rebels
prolonged the wsr two years snd added
one-half to the expenditure Of blood and
treasure. And had it not been for the
promise of Northern Democratic aid, the
Southern Democracy would not have
dared to venture on rebellion. All that
portion of the Northern Democratic Par
ty called sCopperhssds,' are morally
as guilty of rebellion az the Southern
wing of that party who bore arms sgsipst
the Union. When any Comprehend hGs
the m~endacity TO pirate against the nation
al debt and high taxes, fling in his teeth
the undenIable tact that he is one of the
guilty wretches who inflicted the rebellion
on the country.
Let every tax payer keep the above
facts in mind, and then judge of the hon
esty of a party who pirate continually
about our high taxes.

Amnesty Proclamalion.

New YoRK, August 3l.-The Worlds
special SAYS there is reason TO believe
that in a few days the President will
issue an important proclamation of am
nesty, supplemental to that issued on
the 10Th Of May, 1865. 1t will not pro-
claim universal amnesty, but will en-
large the fourteen classes named in
that proclamation. Among the clsssts
excepted in the latter, but which am
assured will be included in the coming
proclamation, will be ali persons who
shall have been military or naval Off
GERS of the pretended Confederate Gov
eminent who are below the rank of
5rigadier general in the army or cap
tain in the navy /; also all persons who
are or shall have been pretended civ
il or diplomatic officers, or domestic or
foreign agents of the rebel government,
also, who have been engaged in treating
otherwise than lawfully as prisoners of
wal persons found in the service of the
United States as officers. soldiers, sea-
men or in other capacities. Other de-
tails are yet to be arranged which may
delay the issuance of the proclamation
for at least aweek yet, but it is proba-
BILE that it will be decided to pardon
all persons except high officials who
may be on bail for trial before or after
conviction.

Once and awhile q Democrat turns
up who is sufficiently sane TO realize
the awful stupidity that Is the distin-
gushing trait of A. johnson The New
York World, a democratic organ, n
of the more intelligent papers of that
party, comes down hard on Mr.. John
son., and so far as it is able to do it,
closes the door OF the Democratic fold
forever in his face. The World tells
Mr.. johnson that he is responsible for
the rigorous policy of Congress, and
that the South has him to thank for
the frequent turning of the Reconstruc-
ton screws. The July meeting OF
Congress and what followed resulted
from Attorney General ~Stanberry's
opinion. 1.-THE evils which were not
law" says the World, "he provoked
Congress to make So" In truthful
language, those things which the re-
bellious manifestations showed were
necessary to be done, a loyal Congress
did. The World tells the President
thus plainly where his mistakes have
been:
HMr. Stanberry had acted in the
spirit of a statesman, he would have
given the President orally and private
" his opinion of the law, and have adj
yised him to make 10 May the change
of commanders which ne has deferred
till late in August. If the President
had put General Thomas in General
Sheridan's place in June, and replaced
General Sickles by a pronounced Re
publican of natural moderation OF
character, there would have been no
meeting of Congress, and the %unreleV-
ed ambiguity of the original law would
have been favorable to the South du-
ring the progress of reconstruction,
andhaVe been a convenient justification
of the generals afterwards. Mr.. Stan
berry having neither strengthened the
President nor benefited the South,
there is no reason why any wel[wisher
of the country should deprecate his
TeslSudtlOns
The World has no confidence in Mr.,
johnson so far as the future is
ed. Johnson's mulishness has s paral-
lei in the stifneckedness of old Phar-
oah, who the more hesexercised' his
tyranny, the more he was made to feel
the bitter consequences. Johnson's
course seems to have forced Congress
and the people to take higher and
more radical grounds than they would
if self.preservation had not seemed to
have demanded it. "God owe in a
mysterious way, His wonders to pei

"If the prisoners at Andersonville
and Libby were not treated with that
kindness and consideration which peo-
pie are entitled to when they remain
at home, minding their own proper
business instead Of taking up arms in
a bloody and desolating crusade against
their neighbors and brethren, we have
only to say that THEY GOT THEIR
DESERTS"
So says a rabid mouth-piece of the
copper-D Democrats; and so said Thur
man, the present candidate of that
party for Governor, when he passed by
needy and suffering Union soldiers to
assist, condole with and supply the
wants of rebel prisoners at camp Chase.
Thurman and his wife were frequent
visitors at the rebel quarters, carrying
luxuries to the well fed southerners,
but were never known to enter a hos
pital to minister to the comfort of sick
and suffering Union soldiers. Their
sympathy and charity all went to the
rebels. This is the man the democrats
would make Governor of the State Of
Ohio. Heaven forbid the outrage

Thurman's MfsrepreseHta-
U0R9. E

We alluded tive weeks ago to the
MISREPRESENTATION of A. G. Thurman,
the coPperhesd candidate for Cover
nor. We said he was either ignorant
or a wilful falsifer. We are convinced
that he aims 10 deceive and not to en-
tighten the people whom he addresses.
He says our public debt exceeds three
thousand millions dollars, when the
official statement of the debt, says it
was twenty-five hundred and fifteen
millions six hundred and fifteen thous-
and nine hundred and thirty-seven
dollars on the first of June last. Judge
Thurman can not be better informed
on this subject than the Secretary Of
the Treasury, hence Thurman misrep-
resents the debt to be four hundred
and e~ighty-four millions three hun
dred and eighty5our thousand eight
hundred and eighty-eight dollars great
er than It's. If the size of the falsehood
is to be computed by the amount mis-
stated, it will be admitted that Thur
man is s wholesale dealer.
Thurman has no kindly feelings To-
wards Union soldiers, and is endeaTor-
ing to make the people dissatisfied
with them. With this end in view, to-
gether with a desire to alarm the pub
lie by an exaggerated statement Of
Government expenditures, he asks =
"ShaIl We continue to pay two hun
dred and fifty millions q year fer the
support Of an army which never before
in the time of peace, cost US over six
teen millions ~ He does not tell the
people that in consequence Of the wick;
ed couusels Of the Democrats and the
mal-administration of johnson. that it
is necessary to keep the unreconstruct-
ed rebel States under military rule,
and that, therefore, this is not in truth,
8 time of pesce. Besides our western
frontier requires q large military force
to protect from the Indians, and make
war against thsm. Yet with all this,
onr army expenses for 1867 were about
ffty-seven millions instead Of two hun
dred and fifty millions dollars, a differ-
ence of q hundred and ninety-twO
millions. The fifteen millions paid for
bounties, can not justly be called a
part of the current army expenses.

Coming state Elections.

The next State election will be that OF
Vermont, which will occur on the Sd Of
September; and the day after California,
the other extremity of the Union, will fol-
low. A few days afterward, IN the 9Th
of September, Maine will be heard fro m.
Nearly a month will then elapse, at the
end of which time the great States of
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio will en- :
gage in the political struggle-their day
of election being the Sth of October
Next will come the elections hat occur on
the first Tuesday of November-the 9th.
They are New York, New Jersey. Della
ware, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Michi-
gan. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois ,
Kansas, Missouri and Nevada. Colorado
will vote on the 18th of Novembsr. which
will close the Fall elections. All these
States, excepting perhaps Delaware, will
give solid Union majorIties. Delaware Is
a miniature Kentucky. and nothing bet
ter can be expected of her. Probably a
full half of her population sympathized
with the rebellion, and only her geograph-
ieal position kept the State in the Union.
The Others will keep good their places In
the Republican ranks.

Al mIustratIre Anecdote.

L correspondent of the Columbus
Journal say that the Hon. hr. Scoield
of Pennsylvania, who spoke at Canton,
after Senator Sherman, illustr ated the
sad and demoralized condition which
the Democratic party would present
after the next election by telling the
following story, which he said was re.
lated OF a certain occasion by Mr.. Lin
coin
A little boy named Martin, living in
a small village in the West, was the
owner of a dog which was naturally
much more strongly attached to him
than the other boys of the village
They became indignant at this superior
marx of affection manifested by the
dog toward his young master, and re-
solved upon the destruction of the af
fectionate canine.
For this purpose they provided them
selves with a bladder, which they filled
with powder. In this they inserted a
gooss quill to form q slow match, hav-
ing a piece ofpunk fastened to one end.
To this slow match they attached a
piece of meat. When an opportunity
presented. they gave the dog this meat,
and the result was that in a few mo-
ments 2 terrific explosion occurred,
and to his utter dlsmay, the boy saw
the hind legs Of his faithful animal
hanging on a fence near by, his bowels
lying in ~ungraceful curves on the green
neal by and his head aomeWhere else.
The father Of the boy was q very
pompous sort of a man, and had an in
veterate habit Of using the phrase, ''as
Il regards" on every occasion where he
could. U
After the occurrence mentioned,
the boy called his fatEeE to witness she
wide spread desolation, and was asked
by him if he thought anything could be
done for the dog.
The father replied, "well my son, it
Is my opinion, as it regards that dog.
he is Of no further use as a dog.P

lie to enlighten ignorant mankind as
totheir duties. Let the people of Ohio
be duly thankful to an overriding Pro-
yidence.
There will be a lively attempt to ex-
cite the prejudice Of the iGermans
against the negroes, and thus defeat
the suffrage question, but the Germans
have been loyal to the core during the
war. and are not willing to be advised
by such men as Vallandigham, and
those men who fought init der Re-
bellion," and | have every reason to
believe that the suffrage question will
run well up with the rest OF the ticket.
Ten thousand will be the maximum
loss, and we can hardly believe it will
be so great.
. The Republicans have been singular
ly fortunate in the selection of Their
stsndard-bearer. Gen. Hayes was one
of Sheridan's best brigade and division
commanders, and he fights on the
stump as he did in the old corps, by
charging boldly the enemy's position.
He was an active member of the last
and present Congress, and resigned his
seat to carry the Gubernatorial banner
of the gallant Buckeye State. The
General has ~agreeably disappointed his
friends by proving himself one of the
best sIumpers in the country. When
nominated, it wasnot supposed he had
much talent in that way but his
speeches have given US agreeable sur
prise. His very first effort showed the
enemy the man they had to cope with
was more than their match, and, as is
usual with Democrats in such cases,
they did not attempt TO reply to Hayes,
but acted boldly, and ~endeavored TO
put him on the defensive. Their ruse
was partially successful, and the Gen.
eral began explaining and defending
his positions /; but bluff old Ben Wade
told him to ''charge the enemy, and
never wait for explanations" The ad
vice was good, and since then the young
soldier has been riding booted and
spurTed over the doughfaces who sought
TO call him and his party to account for
their devotion to the Union during the
war.
The unscrupulousness of Democratic
politicians in years gone by, IS well
known, but their past achievments
have been completely overshadowed by
the brilliancy of their recent operations
in Tennessee and Ohio. Here in Gin
cinnati they began by growing sudden
ly pious for the purpose of compelling
the Republican Mayor to inforce the
Sunday laws, close the beer gardens,
and thereby offend the Germans whose
votes they hoped to get. Having failed
in their first attempt they are now bus.
lily engaged in abusing the negroes, and
trying TO persuade the Germans that
suffrage carries with 1t both political
and social equality. How well they
will succeed the intelligence of the
Germans will determine.
