SEAWEED.

THE increased taxation and reckless
expenditures consequent upon Radical
rule are expressing heavily on the work.
iugmen of this city and State. A large
proportion Of their wages is swallowed
up by the growing demands of the War
Department, the expenses of which are
increased by the non admission of the
Southern States, and drafts made by the
Freedmen's Bureau for funds to sup
port idle and worthless negroes. If the
Radicals are continued in power, the ex-
penscs will be augmented and the taxes
increased. If workinmen wish to be
relieved from the burdens imposed upon
them, they must drive the Radicals from
power, In that manner only can they
bring back the good old times when
taxes were low and the prices of articles
of everyday use within the reach of la,
boring men.-Age.
Tue Radical press have been driver
to a very queer shift to make capitol fol

They are publishing such of the deci
sions as we're approved by the Supreme
Court-neglecting, however to allude t
those which were reversed aud Sc

LOOK at tHc Osher Side.

When secession came, Democrats sus.
tanned the Government, shed their blood
invested their moEey in 5-20's, 1905,
and 10 40's, sent their members to Com
gress, and obeyed the laws that Con"
gress of twenty-three States enacted.
That was their Government and they
loved it, they defended it, and many Of
them, died for it.
During the war eleven States were
not represented in Congress, and they
refused to be. That was lawful Cou-
gress, all obeyed it and all of its laws
are binding under the Constitution.
When the war was over the South
submitted, then the Radicals kept them
out to give the negro power. They
acted outside Of the Consultation " as
Thaddeus Stevens says.
II il be true that the Democrats are
trying to destroy this Government, how
strange it is that they should hold its
bonds and notes, and fight and die for it
Their object is to preserve it, to bring it
within the Constitution, to govern ac,
cording to law, to economise its resour-
ces, and to pay its debts.
Are your bonds and greenbacLs safer
inside of the Constitution or outside of
it. IT we have no Constitution, as
Stevens says, what security have you
for your debts The Constitution is the
title deed to the property that your debt
is lien upon.
In the case of Borie against Tlott,
Judge Sharswood decided that a man
,cho agreed to pay a debt an gold should
pay 1t an gold. Was not this right
He did not decide the question of the
power Of Congress.
You hold a 5,20 or 1O.40 bond, the
interest is payable in gold. The Radia
Gals and their Judges say the Govern
ment may pay you in paper. Judge
Shurswood holds that a contract to pay
in gold should be enforced which best
suits you |? Which is the more honest
Do you sec where this Radical doe
trine leads you ? They already say that
the principal of the bonds may be paid
an paper. If Judge Williams decides
that your interest as payable il paper, is
your contract with the Government car,
ricd out +? Will he not so decide
They ,gW pay in paper if their ca
tagagance makes it, necessary. The
interest on o,u STATE bands ,cas payGbL
an gold, the law made it so, (See act ci
