The DernocFatBOft the Western States
are truly to b .pitied. The rank and file
who don t care a Ok for expediency, or
the little ambttious projects Of the pol
iticians but everything for the assertion
of their views ON matters relating to their
Southern friends who are just now under
cloud, are being imposed upon'by a set
of miserable time. servers. 1t Is doubt

ed All through the war the faithful
Democracy of the West insisted that the
measures of the North to suppress re-
rebellion were born in sin and broughtup
in iniquity. No measure was more vi
olently opposed than the issuance of pa
per money by the Government to pay
the men who fought at the front for the
preservation of the Union. The crea-
ton of a public debt to overcome the
gentlemen of the South, was regarded
as truly and outrageously unconstitu-
tional thing. Now we have the debt
and it is urged by everybody outside OF
the Democratic party Of the Western
States that it Ought honestly to be paid.
How can those patriots who opposed its
creation be now expected, in the name
of consistency to favor its payment
They are in favor of sending the bond
holders to grass, as Just penalty for
having furnished thesinews wherewith-
al the people of the South were sent to
the same place. But here comes along
the New. York World and the Freeman's
Journal, representative Eastern Demo-
cratic organs, insinuating that the Wes-

Now the question is, will the Demo-
