Facts to be Remem bered.
We find the following in the New York
Eapress. 1t would be difficult to crowd
more startling facts into the same space.
The statements should not only be read,
but the reader should preserve them for
reference:
1st. That by taxes on the people. mon
ey enough has been raised since the war
to pay more than half of the public debt,
or u sam equal to $500 for every one of
the negroes made voters, (7l5,OOO) in all
the Southern States.
ton lett the government debt SIC, ,0OO,OOO
From 1861 to 1868, 4 years Of war, the
Radicals increased this debt 81, 7O0, 900 900.
From 1865 to 1868, three years OF peace,
making up with four years of war seven
years Of Radical supremacy, the country
is more than two thousand millions Of dol.
lars worse off than we were in 1860.
Sd. The navy befure the war cost less
than thirteen millions per year, with the
shipping interests of the country fully pro-
tected all over the globe. The average
cost for the three years since the war clos
ed is over forty millions per year, with
our shipping interests swept from the
ocean by taxation and high tariffs.
4th. To show the practical effect Of
Congressional Reconstruction, six carpet
baggers in the United States Senate. from
Florida, North Carolina and Louisiana,
will balance the United States Senatorial
representation of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. The last can only represent an
aggregate population Of lin round mum.
bers) ten millions of free Americans, con.
stituting just one-third of the entire por-
ulation of the Union, and owning nearly
one-half Of the taxable property of tho
republic. Their votes are now neutralizcd
by six Senators under military domina-
ton, and representing population OF
about 2, 5000, 900, owning about one-thir-
teenth Of the taxable property of the Uni
ted States. Of these 2, 800, 900, more than
one half are ignorant negroes, while Of
the remainder, constituting the American
population proper, three. fourths are re-
fused permission to participate in selecting
their federal delegates.
9Th. From June to July the public
debt increased ut the rate Of over S53, ,OOO,-
900 month !-over Sl3,OOO.OOO week
over 81, $50, 900 a day !-over SIC, 900 an
hour over 81 200 a minute over 500 a
second Another fact for ready Demo-
cratic reference.
9th. For four years the people of the
Union fought secession, and put down the
rebellion. But the Radicals in congress
turned around, and have ever since been
trying to legalize secession, and prove
that it was successful in taking ten States
out Of the Union.
7th. The Constitution of Alabama is a
negro Constitution to the extent OF ST.
900 negro majority. In Georgia, Florida,
the Carolinas, Texas and Virginia, where
the whites had some 10000 more regis
tered voters than the blacks, nevertheless,
owing to the chronic discomfort, the vote
showed negro majority Of 25l .496 and
this order of things the Radicals seek to
make perpetual.
9th. In Alabama, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, Virginia and Louisiana, every voter
must swear that he recognizes and accepts
the civil and political equality of-the black
and white. The Mississippi Convention
numbered one hundred, of whom seventy
five are whites, and only FIVE Mississippi
ans.
