TIE REBEL DEBr.

We have heretofore held that cartain
men heretofore in sympathy with the
Presidents POLICY" are buying Up the
rebel debt under the expectation Ahat the
United States will eventually assume tho
same. That such ia the Tact there can
be no doubt, aud we hope every loyal
man Of the North will consider the fol-
lowing facts carefully, which We copy
from the N. Y. Tribune:
Trustworthy news from Neg Orleans
is received 10 the effect that is learned
that one Of The largest brokers of that city
has purchased $685.. 600 of eight per
cent. Confederate bonds of the issue of
1861, and 100000 Of the,issuc Of 1868
to fill an order from the North, or from
Europe. The prices paid are not known,
but il is thought that this is part of a sum
of million in Confederate eight per
cents. advertised for in the National IN
hlhigencer Of recent date. 1t might en-.
sue that in the settlement Of the Alabama
and other claims between the United
States and the Governments Of Great
Britain and France the two latter should
take the ground which ours has repeat
eddy assumed. viz /: That the rebellious
States were never out Of tho Union, and
us q corrollary that the parent Govern
ment is responsible Tor tile damages they
have committed. The officers of the
bank here. advertising for these bonds,
state that request was mad 10 them by
some parties in Europe, fora number Of
the notes, which they wished merely for
a curiosity.

THE WAY TO DO 1T.

The following well'timed advice is
given BY tho Pittsburgh COMMERCIAL,
and we bope all the Republicans in Ma.
son county, will Of once take warning
aud 60 to work. Work, work is nee.
essary. The Republican voters must
be brought ont:
"The sole hope Of tho democrats in
this State is based on the apathy of, the
Republicans arising from over confidence
Their plan of campaign is 10 do nothing
TO awaken Republicans into activity. =
AT the same time measures are being IA
ken to bring out the Democratic voters
in fact they are always out. These
facts SHOULD awaken Republicans 10 do
their whole duty. There is no change
among tho peopIo-no conversion TO lhD
STANDARD of Andrew Johnson. There is
no pretense Of the sort. The people
are as determined to-day as they were
last year. when the State gave seventeen
thousand, and Allegheny county. near.
ly eight thousand Republican majority.
There is just one thing to be done, there
fore. The Republicans voters must be
brought out. To this end our efforts
should be redoubIed and, constant. 1t
is not a question Of strength but its use,
The wards, townships aud districts
should be thoroughly canvasSed. There
is time enough for that. Practical miss.
ionnling qmpug the mass Of Republican
voters is ghat 10 needed. Neghborhood
meetings and frequent conferences
should be held, less for discussion with
the view Of converting the enemy than
to insyrs fpll Republican vote on the
day Of tho election. II is not necessary
to wait for action of committees. Five
even three Republicans in a neigh
borhood meeting together will consli-
iute just The kind Of committee that is
required for the occasion. There is not
a ward, township, or a district, in which
our friends cannot make clean work Of it
within the next week. Friends will you
do it.
