That Benjamin G. Harris, member of Con-
gress from Maryland during the entire war,
has recently written letter to Maryland
paper, in which he discloses the hypocrisy of
his Democratic associates as follows: FL
While in their hearts they did not Wish, as
!heT constituents kne,U, the success oftLe North
IN their nefarious and unjustifiable war upon
the South, they yet discovered wonderful poll
ey in pretending to wish it. y They shrseked for
ue Onaoa,n.dae The strongest war speeches,
While they whispered to the kno,oing one of their
party that deception acds the surest means of
getting po'oer-ond aohen poUer ,cas obtained
then THEY WOULD DO THE ExPEDIENT!
These were the "War Democrats" Are
they safe men to encourage now? Have all
the issues ofthe war been settled?ls 9''0a.

In the Senate of the United States ON the
3lst of January last the tariff bill being un-
der discussion, Mr.. Fessenden said: 5s..-a5s d.
Section % has reference to a drawback upon
IRON, copper, cordage, &C., (which shall be
wrought up in the construction of sailing yes
sells OF the United States" Our sailin9 YES
sels come directly into competition with the
vessels of New Brunswick, and SO much i'm
composition that it is impossible for men to
build sailing vessels along our Atlantic coast
winch enter at all upon the trade with that
composition, presume the expense is inst
about double, and consequently all our shin
yards are pretty much deserted, and not ouiy
our ship yards for the construction of salino
vessels, but of steam vessels also. This il g
very great injury to us in many particulars
snd more especially in the fact that If in this
conditlon OF things continue, the skilled work
men VINO have given to our ships and shipyaris
sucn high reputation will be scattered and
engaged IN other pursuits, and we shall lose
more than we do now. In the hone and he
tieI mat something might be done by this
drawback, especially upon sailing vessels, the
con.nt@tee aoere unanimous s,a the conclusion
that 1t ought to be gtuen.. =.
This is the bill which the Argus on the LIST
OF FEBRUARY characterized as "a game of grab"
and against which the solid vote of the DEM
ocrats in Congress was cast. ~ ~, r-- =.

e, hepubhcans in this city should be especially
active to-day in the cause of their country. No
preliminary meeting has been held to rouse
them to duty This was not because of lack
OF interest in the election, but in consequence
OF inability to obtain suitable hall for the
meetings. o s "a
therefore, let every true and honest Repub-
hcan consider it his duty to be on hand at the
polls to-day, and see that his neighbor goes
with him. The Democrats will make a great
struggle to reduce the majority in this city to
small aggregate, but they will be disappoint-
ed if every Republican will do his duty. sI

IearY Clay Dem,

OF Iowa, an inhuentialD leader, has
been stamping the State Of Ohio. In aspeech
at Cincinnati, he expressed the following OPT
MONS on the payment Of the National Debt:
We are not bound by theiConstitution to paw
it, because it was contracted in war to over
throw the Constitution and destroy the sys-
tenn of the government under it. We are not
bound by the theory of our government to nav
it, because the debt was contracted in the de-
ctruction Of the American theory of govern
ment. We are not bound by the laws Of civil
lied warfare to pay it, because these laws, as
understood by Americans, and laid down by
our treaty with Mexico, were violated at eyery
step of the war, from its inception to its con-
siusion We are not bound in Justice to pay the
debt, Tor we have received nothing in return
for it. Not only no equivalent, bus it has been
contracted in the destruction of everything
held sacred in property, obligation and secur-
ity. There has been no Quid pro quo-All this
is outside of the consideration of the violence,
fraud, OPPRESSION and cheats employed ain the
contraction of the debt. We are not bound
IL, honor to pay the debt. 1t ,ods contracted
aoittoait our consent. No such debt has eoer been
paid; no such debt can be paid; no such debt
ought to be paid; NO SUCH DEBT WILL BE PAID.

GEN. PRIM's PRocLAMArIoNs.-T Madrid
correspondent of the London Morning Adver-

the text of the two proclamations, signed
Juan Prim," which have been profusely
sprinkled by. unseen, mysterious agents through
all the mess-rooms and bar-rooms of that city
The first of these is addressed to all Spaniards
and declares that the hour is come when their
country's dignity and their own liberty call on
them to strike and rid themselves of their op-
pressors. 1t says: M 2fFUgH64
There is nothing more dangerous or mis-
mischievous than Instructions = nothing
grander or iuster than revolutions, when they
are necessitated by nations misery or an ar
my,s suferings, when disorder has been ele-
waited into system, and oppression has at
tanned the limits of tyranny. Agriculture is
suffering; all trades are stagnant; the press
and the Parliament are condemned to silence !;
and blush suffuses every honest Spaniard's
brow when he looks upward to the throne or
down upon his degraded countrymen. The
government has recourse to every kind of tor
ture; it tramples our laws under foot, and sti-
Ties the cries of outraged opinion.
The appeal to the army is yet stronger. 1t
country to which they owe their first allegi-
ance to join in a revolution, to put down tyr
amy and to aid good government. These pro-
CARNATIONS are not only placarded about Mad
rid, but are posted about Barcelona, and are
replaced as soon as torn down.
