DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER
FOR TRE
CAMP IGN.

THE DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER should
be read by every voter in VintOn county
during the present campaign. AS we De-
lioye that the most extended circulation
of sound Democratic papers will greatly
aid in the triumph of correct principles,
at the coming election, We offer The
Dsmoc, attic Enquirer from this time Cor
for three monshs) until after the election,
on the following low
TERMS:
Single subscribers, rs cents; clubs OF
s. S1,iO; clubs Of 10, $2;-with an ad-
ditional copy to each getter up of club.
Zone copy, one year, in clubs of not less
than ten, 81 Payments to be made in
advance.
We officer the paper at these unusually
low rates with the view Of bringing it
within the reach Of all during the cam
paign, and we hope the offer will be res

most important one-the question OF
giving the negro the right to vote, hold
Office, sit on %juriss, and marry into white
families is to be decided-and every
Democrat should exert himself to secure
the triumphant ofthe Democracy.
Let our able Democrats throughout the
county make up a fund Of from one to
five dollars or more in each township,
and distribute copies Of the paper to vo-
terra who take no paper and who will read,
BY SO doing, the people can be educated

OUR FINANCIAL FUTURE,-The New
York Times, in discussing our financial
condition, has but one panacea for our
troubles. That is the faithful and hon"
est collection of the tax on whisky -
This is a superficial view Of the question,
and does not at all go to the root Of the
matter. No doOtoriDg will avail to re-
lieve the people as long as we are bur'
dened with the national debt. We must
pay off the debt at once, and stop all that
vast interest which renders oppressive
taxation necessary. 1t can be paid i'm"
m%ediately, in the legal-touder currency
of the country, in which all other debts
are paid. This measure and this alone
will give financial ease and repose to the
country. The Times proposition merely
looks to paying the interest on the bonds.
Ours would pay the principal, and so get
rid of any interest at all. Our plan is
in the interest Of the masses; that Of the
Times in the interest Of the bondholders.

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, January 24-SEyATE--
Petitions were presented from the Ohio
woel growers, asking for increased pro-
lection, and from the citizens of Indiana
against the currency curtailment.
The Finance Committee reported the
civil appropriation bill, with amend

The Committee on Commerce reported

The bill granting aid to the Central
San Francisco railroad is postponed till
tomorrow.
A large number of amendments were
offered to the Tariff bill and adopted,
one adding to the free list books, maps
and public libraries. Adjourned.
HoUsE-After some unimportant pro.
ceedings, the bill giving Agricultural
College scrip to Tennessee, with an
amendment to extend the operations of
the bill to all the rebel States, provoked
debate.
Maynard disliked leaving Tennessee to

was further discussed by Kelly, of Ten
nessee, maintaining that his was the only
Southern State with republican gov
ernment, and that South Carolina, Texas
and Alabama were not States.
The debate continued for several hours,
and the amendment was agreed to that
no Confederate should be Professor.
During the debate the President was
frequently called usurper.
MIR. Cooper, of Tennessee, was called
TO order for calling Mr. Kelly liar.
After considerable discussion the bill
passed as amended.

of us, under the Washington, Franklin
and Madison delusion-but our eyes are
open now
The consent of the governed, how
ever, being indispensably necessary to
Government-the venerable Thaddeus
would enlighten us, if he could explain
several other things to US, rather foggy
just now.
First-How is it, that six New Eng
land States, with less population than
New York, have twelve Senators in Con-
gress, and New York but two?
Second-How is it, that in the election
of a President, twelve electoral (State)
votes come from this New England, and
from New York State only two2
Third-How is it, that in population
of now about 100000, at the most,
only one in FIVE can vote-eight millions
out Of the forty2
Fourth-How is it that 2O,sOO,0OO OF
females have no yote-all gorerned
women, too, without the consent Of
the governed.
Fifth-How is it, that some lO,OOO,O 600
governed children have no vote, minors
especially, approaching age p
Sixth-How is it, that (say) 10000 900
ofaliens have no vote-all governed?
SeveAth-How is it, if all rightful gov
ernments emanate from the consent of
the governed, that eight millions of peo
ple. from the Potomac to the Rio Grande,
are now governed without their consent?
Eighth-How is it, that Test Oaths in
Missouri, Tennessee, West Virginia and
Maryland di,qualify thousands and tens
of thousands of voters-a violence that
the venerable Thad upholds.
When the venerable Thad has ex-
pounded all this-we have another heavy
budget of questions to pile upon him ;
for, we begin to see, if he tells us the
truth, that from l776 on to 1866, we have
been cheated, duped, and Selied, as to
this being Republic.

the waters of the sea pass from one pole

last deluge occurred 1000 years ago, and
he has sufficient regard for the comfort
of the present generation to postpone
the next deluge to period 5000 years
