DEMOCRATIC UECLARATIoNs.-In the
spirit then, of George Washington, and of
the patriots of the Revolution, let US take
the steps to inaugurate our Government,
and start it once again on its course of
greatness ana prosperity. May Almighty
God give us the wisdom to carry out our
purposes, to give every State in the Union
blessings ofpeace, good order, and frater-
nal affection.-Horatio Seymour.
l say again, fellow citizens, remember
the fate of Rome, and vote for no candi-
date who will not tell you with the frank
ness of an independent freeman, the prin-
ciples upon which, if elected, he will
administer your Government.
That man deserves to be a slave who
would vote for a mum candidate when his
liberties are at stake.-Andrew Jackson.
Ifmy suffrage is asked for the highest
civil olficer of my country, the candidate,

FAcTs IN NATURE.-Man has the power
of initiating almost every motion except
that of flight. TO effect these. he has, in
maturity and health, sixty bones in his
head, sixty in his thighs and legs, sixty
two in his arms and hands and sixty-seven
in his trunk. He has also 434 muscles.
His heart makes sixty-four pulsations in
minute. and therefore 3,S4O in an hour,
and 90, l60 in a day. There are also three
complete circulations of his blood in the
short space of an hour. In respect to the
comparative speed Of animated beings and
of impeled bodies, it may be remarked
that size ard construction seem to have
little influence. nor has comparative
strength, though one body giving any
quantity of motion to anotheY is said to
lose so much of it's own. The sloth is by
no means small animal, and yet can
travel only fifty PAGES in day. A worm
crawls only FIVE inches in fifty seconds;
but ladybira can fly twenty million
times its length in less than On hour. An
elk can run mile and half in seven
minutes; and an antelope can lope mile
in minute; the wild mule of Tartary has
a speed even greater than that: an eagle
can fly eighteen leagues in an hour; and
can even reach 25O leagues
in the short space Of sixteen hours. A
violent wind travels sixty miles an hour;
sound, ,l42 English feet in second.

CoUaTEsY OF GENTLEMEN -s.What com.
pliments pass when gentlemen meet" is
common exclamation. Gen. Butler pub
fishes the legal gentleman who recently
arrested him in Baltimore as "rascally
attorney" The latter, in published
card signed Robert j. Brent, denounccs
General Butler as "a coward,' as one
who discoses "the white feather of
skulking blackguard,' and so on. How
many men forget that strong epithets
always indicate weak cause. We rejoice
to see that Mr.. Pendleton of Ohio, like
Horatio Seymour, comprehends this truth,
and in his political addresses is perfectly
Chesterfeldian in the suavity of diction he
employs towards his opponents. 1t is
really refreshing to meet with such instan-
ces gentlemanly instinct among ardent
partisans, and we record them with salts
faction, no matter which party may be
honored by the compliment. BY the way,
now that the La Crosse Democrat and the
Tribune so nicely balance each other as
party vituperators, why cannot all the rest
of the press, of both parties, resolve to
let these two journals monepolise the field
of vulgar abuse and enter upon a COM
petitive trial of argumentatiye courtesy ?
The novelty would be both attractive and
creditable Sunday Times.

If, as the Tribune asserts, if, as the
London Times asserts, if as any number of
radical journalists has asserted, it is re-
pudiation, for government to change the
terms of contract once made with the
public. this Funding Bill is oren, square,
unmittigated, unadulterated repudiation,
and nothing else. 1t arbitrarily reduces
the interest payable to the bondholders
one third, and does it as equivalent for
paying the principal in gold, although,
as our republican friends have so vehemen-
tly insisted the principal of the bonds
conve rtabie into these new securities was
already payable in gold This is repudia-
ton outright; and although the gov
ernment will not be permitted by the
President to disgrace itself in this manner
before the financial world, (for he has
pocketed "the Funding Bill" we believe).
the republican majority in beth Houses Of
Congress are responsible for it's production
and passage. 1t is no credit of theirs that
it is not now law of the land. They
exulted in this "bappy thought" as Mr..
Stevens terms the repudiating principle,
because it was dexterous bid for the
western vote for Grant and Colfax, and as
they far more thoroughly represent the
republican party throughout the United
States than the Heaven -only-Knows-how-
elected delegates to the Chicago Conven-
ton, that party must accept the logical

what Woman should BE.

'" huG :" oman SnOuIU ne.
Woman's mission should be to cultivate
her mind, to perform her home duties
faithfully, to train those entr listed to her
care, so that they may be able to act well
their part in life. May the day be far
distant when woman shall become a poll
tician. 1t has been. and is still argued,
that woman voice in the Congressional
Halls, would have beneficial effect upon
the Nation. If woman should insist upon
being represented at the ballot box, should
not man insist upon her being represented
upon the battlefield? shall man be a mere
appendage to woman, or shall woman he
the more refined and ornamental part of
man? If she should have what strong
minded" short sig GIFTED, women now insist
upon as her rights she would no longer
be companion for man, but rival in
political affairs. Mans heart would soon
fall to ruin, like some deserted mansion
for want Of an inhabitant. As the vine
which has long twined its graceful foliage
about the oak, and been lighted by it into
sunshine, will when this hardy plant is
rifted by the thunder-bolt, cling around it
with its caressing tendrils and bind up its
broken bough 50 should woman be
mere dependent and ornament of man in
his happier hours, and his stay and solacc
when smitten by calamity, winding herself
into the rugged recesses of his nature,
tenderly supporting his dropping head,
and binding the broken heart. Our ma
tions welfare depends upon the training of
the youth. Our nations greatness depends
more upon woman than it does upon man;
upon her is ccntered nations purest
hopes its most binding and solemn obli-
cations, and the highest happiness of
mankind she should be great source of
power, her influence for good should be
felt over all the nations of the earth. Her
sphere of duty should be co-extensive with
all that is beautiful in morals, command
ing in intellect. and touchingin humanity.
She should be the personifcation of truth,
beauty, and love, that she may walk the
earth, that she may hear her name still
hymned by the greatful voice of man, and
in her fame rejoice.

Birds of a feather,
kI,,l, xa-nkl,

The radical papers all over the country
are making a terrible blow over p. Ii.
Sibley, a California bondholder who has
left the Democracy and come out for Grar,
and Golfax. He gives the following
reasons for his course
III should be glad to remain in the dem
ocratic party, could l believe in 50
doing that am not sacrificing those prin.
ciples of patriotism that are higher than
any sentiment of mere party feeling.
81 believe that the national debt should
be paid to the last dollar in coin of the
national mint, and that no former measure
OF reputation is consistent with national
honor.
II am opposed to the taxation of gov
ernment bonds as breach of convenant
made with the bondholders, and | am
opposed to paying these bonds with cur.
rency instead Of gold.'
We like to see man follow the con-
victions of his own Judgment, and one who
believes that the bonds should be paid in
gold, can't consistently vote any other
than the Republican ticket, and we honor
hin lor HlS course out one tnlC OOn
believe they should be so paid, can't con-
sistently vote any other than the Democratic
ticket. We hope our Republican friends,
who believe with us that the currency that
is good enough for the plowholder, is good
enough for the bondholder, will be as con-
sisteut as he and thousands Of honest
tax payers will flock to the standard of
Seymour and Blair, for every bondholder
that goes over to Grant and Colfax.-

On the 10th Of June Plus IN. commen-
ced the et~enty-third year Of his Pontifcal
reign. Since St. Peter, to whom history
assigns twenty-five years, there have been
but three Popes out of 25s who have lived
to commence or to finish their twenty
third year of government. They are:
Adrian l., the Pope Of Charlemagnc !;
Plus VI, the Pope Of the Directory ; and
Plus VII, the Pope Of Napoleon l. Plus
TX. will be the fourth. If he lives until
June l6, 1869, he will stand alone with
Plus VI; if he lives till June l9, 1870, he
will be matched only by St. Peter. But

out done not all preceding Popes, but

In a recent speech delivered at Milwau-
kee, Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, of New York,
gave the following statements of what the
military department of our government
is costing under radical rule. He said:
Citizens: l hold in my hand statement
of the expenses of the war department for
the last fifteen months. 1t is made from
authentic sources, and l have no doubt it
is substantially reliable. These expenses
are about 81 ,O0O,OO a month. or about
$50, 900 year. This is the cost of
the war department during period of
peace, beginning two years after the war
has closed. These statements, which l
shall hand to the reporters, are made from
the official records of the government.
They are as follows: Payment at the
treasury on account of the service of the
war department from January l, 1867, to
March 81, 1868:
North Iowa times. [volume] (McGregor, Iowa) 1867-current, 1868-09-16

This first table contains the payments
made at the treasury department on ac-
count Of the war department during the
fifteen months ending on the 2lst of March
last, which was the latest date to which l
have been able to obtain these figures. This
is besides pensions; this is besides the navy
expenses; this is besides the civil list this
is besides the interest on the public debt.
If any of you have the curiosity to inquire
why it is that business is not prosperous
that prices are higher than they ought to
be, even in the preseut diluted state of the
currency, and that poor men with high
wages still find it difficult to live-I tell
you it is because, in this age Of the Amer
can republic, We are subject to the most
enormous and burdensome and oppre ssive
system of taxation-eppressive in its
amounts, and oppressive in the mode by
which it is levied. Why, gentlemen, the
British empire, which proudly boasts that
her military posts encircles the whole
globe, so that her morning drum-b beat keeps
company with the hours, expcnds for her
vast hame and military system not more
than 6,OOO,O 900 month, while we, even
during the last year, have been expending
Sll ,OOO, 900 a month and her Sc, 600, 900
month includes her pensions, while our
Sll ,OOO, 900 does not include our pensions.
Take the French Empire-the greatest and
the mightiest of the military monarchies
of modern time. That Empire expended
as an average of seven years past 81, ,OOO,-
600 month. And the Prussian Empire,
recently formed, expended on its army, in
1867, only 500, 100000, or less than S2,-
5000 a month. And we, in free repub-
lican America, have been expending at the
rate Of $3.50, 900, 900 year, besides pen
siOns.
Mr.. Tilden is one Of the most intelligent
and cautious staticians, in such matters, in
the United States. He has committed his
high reputation to the correctness of the
above statement, and the figures there set
forth cannot be contradicted. Let every
tax payer examine them carefully.
