Hced Christ's sermon on the Mount
exactly to Thurman's mind. when
they double quicked from Bull Run.
! What became Of 8 Southern preach
erswho preached peace to rebs p
Crack, went a pistol. and his spirit
was forever practically at peace and
TO the joy of this man Thurman,
whose righteous soul is vexed from
day to day with our unlawful deeds.
Thurman calls US Radicals every
time, and call them Confederates
every time, and ! think both are
right every time
Hesays the Radicals made thewar,
the Radicals needlcssly continued it
for two yerrs after the Democrats
had declared it q failure, and McClel-
Ian was about to stop it; the Radi-
Gals refused to let it stop before it
started; the Radicals broke up the
real, quick and sure settlement off
cred by Sherman at Raleigh; the
Radicals Illegally make laws when
some States are not represented
Everything that has been done by
the Radicals to save the country, he
thinks radically wrong, and propys
es to have it stopped right off. The
Confederate speakers all hold up
their hands with holy horror at the
enormous size of cur National debt,
but all forget to state that their eli
ents alone are responsible, not only
for the debt, but for all the valuable
lives sacrificed in their unholy rebel
lion. There is slight discrepancy
between these weeping Jeremiahs,
as to the amount fthe debt, but as
they very only Ave hundred millions,
We wont be captious about that tri-
fe.
- Now the debt is, in round numbers,
twenty-five billions, and we have re
duced the principal one hundred and
thirty three millions, the last year,
besides paying the interest, large
floating debt, and the extra bounties
to soldiers. If we pay but one hun
dred millions year on the princi-
pal. twenty five years will pay up
the twenty five hundred millions, and
we are out of debt. But each re-
duction of principal saves interest,
and so much more reduces the prin
cipal.
The first year, seven millions of
interest are saved to apply on prin-
cipal the succeeding years fifteen,
and so on; so that raising each year
the same amount as in 1856, the en-
tire debt will be paid in thirteen
years. There is no excuse for even
limiting at reputation, violation of
faith and national disgrace. No, sir.
IN spite of them and their allies, our
national credit is sound, and our
flag floats higher and prouder than
any other flag kissed by the breezes
of heaven. II seems to me that it
will be quite generous in this gener-
alton, after having paid the tax OF
blood, which totally emptied half a
million of veins, and drew liberal
pools from as many more, and hav-
ing hon0red financial drafts to twice
the amount Of the present debt, ifw
keep down the interest and gradually
reduce the principal, letting a small
portion Of the financial price Of lib
erty pass over to the next genera
ton, who are soon to heir. rich in
heritance.
The Confederate speakers are all
down on the RAIDS for making laws,
orders and appointments for the no
BILE South that they do not for the
radical North, and not one Of them
can see any reason under Heaven
for any distinction whatever We
think we can see slight reason for
it. Soldiers see it distinctly. The
Boys in Blue looked the reason in
the face for four years, and see it
still. They are fearfnlly down on us
because the loyal in the South are
given power to rule traitors. Oh
course ! do not give it in their
phraseology, but will, and leave you
tojudge which phraseology best &C
cords with the soul of the matter
Their wording is, Blacks rule Whites
my wording is, Loyal rule traitors
I consider white heart under q
black skin better than black heart
= under white skin. God gave col
or to skin, they the heart. The rea-
son for this, and for possibly adopt
ing 1had. Stevens confscatior
measures, they alone are responsible
for.l ~
We may yet be made to adopt his
dreadful measures. If we do the
South may thank themselves for it
they have made us do a great
many things dreadfully against oul
wishes. they made us take arms
1hey made US quit guarding their
property and destroy it The made
us send Sherman through the Soutl
withoutgleyes. they made US cal
colored soldiers to the field to hell
MS save the country, and 100000
came ct the call. they made US fire
the slaves, and when we gave then
easy terms, by which to recove
their forfeited rights, by obstinac
and insolence they made us take an
other step, and that step was fol
ward, not backward as they hoped
Refusing to give freedmen thei
rights and protect loyal lives, the
made US do it. their obstinac
made us give them the Freedmen
Bureau and the Civil Rights. Bill
