The difference between the editor of
the La Crosse Democrat and 8 great
many other Democrats who read his pa
per, and not y few who do not, is that
the former speaks just what he thinks,
and the latter think what they do not or
dare not speak. That editor said in a
late number Of his paper:
Nominate another Abe Lincoln, and
the country will produce another John
Wilkes Booth, and his SIC Sen1per tyrdn-
ms, i'll accordance with the suggestions
OF the La Crosse Democrat, and the man
is even now ready for the work p
In the same number occurs the follow
ing notice:
"CoSFEDERATE FLAG.-We wish a
Confederate flag, six feet long, or nearly,
TO place in our sanctum by the side of the
National fag-each being American and
floating over men whose bravery never
has been surpassed.
There are multitudes of Democrats who
we know do not endorse any such muir
lerous and REASONABLE sentiments, yet
it cannot be denied that there are multi
tudes who do.

SECESSION IN THE CANADIAN DoMIyIoy-The
dissatisfaction in Nova Scotia has spread to
New Brunswick, and both these Provinces are
now clamorous for secession from the confed-
Grated Dominion" The blessings that were
to result from political reorganization prove to
be but Dead Sea apples fair TO the eye, but ash

beth Provinces use strong language, threaten
ing annexation to the United States in case their
demand for release from the confederation be
refused.

GEN. GARFIEID's FINANCIAL PLAN
General Garfield introduced into the
House last week bill providing that the
Secretary of the Trearury be authorized
and directed to pay gold coin for Legal
tender notes which may be presented to
the United States Assistant Treasurer at
New York, on and after the 1st of next
December. At that date exchange is to
be made at the rate of 81, dollar in gold
for one dollar and thirty cents of legal
tender notes. After the lst of January,
1869, the rate is to be one gold for one
and twenty-nine cents in paper, the
amount to be one cent less Of paper
money every succeeding month until ex-
change between gold and legal tenders
become equalized. After June, 1871,
the Secretary of the Treasury is to ex-
change gold for legaLtender notes, dollar
for dollar. Mr.. Garfield also introduced
bill to lega!ize gold contracts. Both
measures were referred to the Committee
of Ways and Means.

The latest proposal, for the payment of the
national debt is, that Congress shall enact that
hereafter the public domain shall only be sold
for Government bonds, which, as fast as OBJ
tanned, shall be Cancelled The millions of I'M
occupied lands Of the western half of the Re
public would thus be perpetually mortgaged
for this one purpose. This plan would bring
back to this country a large portion of the six
hundred millions of American bonds which are
now in Europe. These are held, especially in
Germany, by small farmers and working men.
In order to purchase land on coming here, they
would bring these bonds il preference TO
