THE organ of the Marion County DEM
ocracy advocates wholesale robbery, that
is to say, reputation of the national
debt, in the following choice and charac-
teristic language:
Give us riddance of assessors, collec-
tors, deputies, spies, pimps, sneaks and
informers. Rid the people of licenses,
and all the other sequences ofthe Lincoln
despotism. The butchered dead can't be
restored to life; the mother may not
have her son, nor the wife her husband
| nor the sweetheart her betrothed. But
the load of taxation which crushes the
living to the dust may be removed; and
the common comforts and enjoyments OF
life may in time be restored to the peo'

The March of Reputation.

Henry Clay Dean, of Iowa, is pretty
generally recognized as one of the "un-
washed" His words are oracles to the
Democratic party. What he says then
on the subject of repudiating the Nation
al Debt, may be taken as showing the
speech i'm Cincinnati on the 18th ult, he
gave the following opinions on the pay
ment of the National Debt:
1--WE are not bound by the Constitu-
ton to pay it, because it was contracted
i'm n war to overthrow the Constitution
and destroy the system OF government
under it. We are not bound by the
theory of our government to pay 1t, be-
cause these laws, as understood by a.
mericans and laid down by our treaty
with Mexico, were violated at every step
of the war, from its inception to its con-
clusion. We are not bound IN justice to
nan This debt for we have received moth
ing in return for it. Not only no equiv
alent, but it has been contracted in the
destruction of everything held sacred in
property obligations and security. There
has been no g,tid pro quo. All this out
side of the consideration of the violence,
fraud, opposition and cheats employed
in the contraction of the debt. We are
not bound in honor topaz this de6t 1T

The doctrine so boldly avowed by
Dean, Is echoed with equal boldness by
the leading Democratic papers of Ohio.
The Dayton Empire, Vail andigham's
home organ, is daily advocating the re-
pudiation of the debt, and other papers
of more or less note are following In its
wake. This question, If not directly at
issue this fall, cannot be entirely ignor-
ed. Give the Democracy control OF the
Northern States; permit the Northern
and Southern wings to unite as victors
and either the National debt will be re
pudiated or the Southern debt assumed

MIsREpREsENTINtl HISTORY.

At the dissertation of the 4th of July
by the Vallandigham- -Anti-war-Dem
cracy, one of the speakers-Mr. II. S.
Clark-said: "The fathers of the Re
public did not allow an inferior race to
vote" If Mr.. Clark meant to say that ne
grocs did not then vote he must have
been either very ignorant Of the early
history OF the country, or he presumed II
great deal upon the ignorance of his
hearers.
1t is fact Mr.. Clark ought to know,
that, in the Constitutions of all the States
(save one,) made by the "fathers of the
Republic" the word "white" is not
found, and in the administration of the
government under those Constitutions
all men, without regard to color, posses
sing the other requisite qualifications,
were allowed to vote. Negroes did vote
In all of those States, and their right to
do 80 was not intcrfered with until the
Democratic party became su,sei Went to
the Slave power, and in its interest de-
termined to Nationalize slavery.
We commend to the attention Of Mr..
Clark and his Democratic hearers, on
that occasion the following extract, taken
from the Chicago Times, the leading
Democratic paper of the Northwest:
"The word white is not found in any
of the original constitutions, save only
that of South Carolina. In every other
State negroes who possessed the qualifi-
cations that were required impartially of
all men, were admitted to vote. And
many of that race did vote in the South
ern as well as in the Northern States.-
And, moreover, they voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, for IL was the Democratic
party of that day which affirmed their
right in that respect upon an impartial
basis with white men. All Democrats
cannot, even at this day, have forgotten
the statements of General Jackson that
he was supported for the Presidency by
negro voters in the State Of Tennessee. "
Az n later date the same paper says:
"The doctrine of impartial suffrage Is
one of the earliest and most essential
doctrines of Democracy. 1t is the atfir-
nation of the right of every man who is
made partaker of the burdens of the
State to be represented by his own con.
sent, or vote In its government. 1t is the
first principle upon which all true repub'
llcan government rests. 1t Is the basis
upon which the liberties of America will

WATER THAT WILL NOT DROWN.

WATER THAT WILL NOT DROWN
All travellers, writes a correspondent
have mentioned with astoniShment,
the peculiar boyancy Of the water OF
the great Salt Lake, and it is truly
surprising. No danger Of shipwreck
need ever cross the mind of those who
navigate the lake, for it would be
simply impossible for them to sink il
thrown over board. With my hands
clasped together under my head,
hoated on the very surface OF the
lake with at least one third Of my
body above the water. Upon warm
summer day there would not be the
slightest difficulty in going to sleep
upon the lake, and allow yourself to
be blown about as the wind permitted
only one needs an umbrella to keep
off the rays of the sun.
IL is stated that three buckets OF
this water will yield one bucket OF
solid salt, but insomuch as water will
not hold above twenty-five per cent
of saline matter instantly deposited
upon the bottom, this estimate is OF
course to large. On inquiring of the
Mormons engaged in procuring salt
they unanimously stated that for every
five buckets of water, they obtain one
bucket of salt which gives the proper
ton as no less than twenty per cent
No visitor to the lake should omit
the bath; the sensation in the water
is most luxurious, and leads ole tC

The river flowed with the light on its breast,

The river flowed with the light on its breast,
And the waves were eddying by;
And the round red sun went down in the west,
When my loves loving lips tony lips were pressed
Under the evening sky;
Now weeping alone, by the river stray,
For my love has left me this many day
Left me to droop and die'
AS the river flowed then, the river flows still,
In ripple, and foam and spray,
On by the church, and round by the hill,
And under the sluce by the old burnt mill,
And out to the fading day;
But love it no more, for delight grows cold.
When the song is sung, and the tale is told,
And the heart is given away.
oh, river, run far! Oh, river, run fast
Oh weeds, float on to the sea!
For the sun has gone down on my beautiful past
And the hopes that like bread on the waters cast,
Have drIfted away like thee:
So the dream is fed, and the day it is done,
And my lips will murmur the name of one
Who will never come back to me.
