MILITARY

It costs us annually $4,000, perhaps n little
over, TO keep u soldier. The yearly cost Of our
army Of $4,000 men Is one hundred and twelve
millions of dollars. Tho United States Quarter
masters Depot, Mt Joffersonyille, KY, from which
the troops North, West and South, arc supplied,
has now on hand; 1900 uniform coats, 2I3,-
600 uniform Jackets, 192, 900 wool blankets. 547,-
600 pairs drawers, 455, 900 shirts, $685. 900 over
coats, 5000 blouses, 525, 900 pairs shoes, $4,000
pair boots, 667 600 hats and caps, 437 900 pairs
trowsers, SO, 900 socks, 200, 900 blankets.
There are, besides those, numerous other arti-
oles. such as fonts, flags, cook utensils, &C.. and
about two million 1000, 000) yards Of various
kinds of cloths for army wear.
Now aud then a stock of this kind Is overhaul

contractor of some "trooly loil' principles. What
do we want of $4,000 soidlers3 Would not
10000 BIO enough to keep tho Indians In check
or thrash them soundly IL properly handiedl And
what real need Is there for any soldiers In the
southl-Nep York Express.
Sure enough-what need is there
for any soldiers in the South? None
at all. They are there ostensibly to
keep and preserve order; but really
to enslave the whites and cause the
negro population to rule them. That
is the true reason. Why isn't it nee
essary to keep a standing army in
Maryland? Negroes, once slaves,
have been set free there as we'll as in
the Southern States yet no army il
necessary to prevent the white man
from trenching on the rights and lib.
critics of the negro.
If the Democratic party should
again attain power the standing army
of the South will be disbanded Tho
States will themselves carry on theil
own governments-just as they do il
other States; and thus q large sun
will be saved annually to the poor
down-trodden tax payers of our coun
try. Our standing army nced no
number over ten or fifteen thousand
men for all we need, as a nation, il
simply a nucleus around which oul
volunteers can rally when the exigen
cies of the casedemand it. One of tive
things must happen either the army
must go down, must he materially re
duced in numbers, or the liberties o
the people will be trampled upon b!
the army. At present Grant controls
the army in direct violation of th'
Constitution. If he be convinced
that he can't win without the aid o
the army, who is so simple as to doub
whether he will use it? When Nc
Clellan ran for the Presidency he re
signed his commission in the army
Why does not Grant do the same ? /
is plain that he d~istrusts the people
and to us it is eqaally clear that h
intends to use the army to fois
himself upon the American peo
pie, If he cannot succeed without
There is not much liberty left for
people who submit to be governed
and domineered over by train-bands

WELL PUr.-The Democracy in
Moultrie county, Illinois, in their re-
cent convention, made an excellent
point against the bondholders' claim
to be paid only in coin. "Such claim,
even if founded on the contract,
would be usurious, and, according to
the laws of most civilized countries,
not binding on the injured parity
The demand is simply a demand to be
paid nearly one-third more than the
lawful money amount of the indebt-
edness. No court of law in Christen-
dom would award to a %suitor, in an
action on a contract, a third more than
the lawful value of the contract
What reason is there in asking that
the people shall submit to an assump-
ton that no judicial tribunal in the
world would pronounce to be just %

of its corruption and perfidy-than
Gen. Frank P. Blair.
We publish in full the proceedings
of the National Democratic Conven-
ton. From them We learn that Pres
ton, of Kentucky, formerly a Confed-
crate officer, named Gen. Blair, and
said "the soldiers ofthe South extend
ed their hands to the soldiers of the
North in token of amity and good
viii ;"-and Blair was nominated by
a unanimous vote, all the States voting
for him and he subsequently made u
brief speech accepting the platform
and the nomination.
Mr.. Seymour, also, in response to
the committee who waited upon him
and formally notified him of his nomi-
nation, declared himself"a party to the
terms of the resolutions which are in
accordance with our wishes" and he
stated that he should strive to carry
them out if elected.
We have thus briefly presented our
candidates to the readers of the DEM
ocRAT. Mr.. Seymour, it is known,
was not our first choice but when we
remember that Ohio nominated him
insisting that he should accept-and
that Ohio did so at Mr.. Pendleton's
special request when VIC take into
consideration the purity ofhis private
character, his pre-eminent abilities as
a statesman, and the fact that he en-
dorses the Platform adopted by the
Convention,-we could not if we
would, and would not if VIC could, fail
to yield him our cheerful and most
hearty support. He is natures noble
man, and if elected will impart digni-
ty and honor to the chair once filed
by Washington and Jackson. And
though Blair was not our first choice
for the Vice Presidency,-though we
do not and cannot endorse all his pre-
vious public acts yet when We recol-
lect that he was presented by repre-
sentative men of the South In "token
of amity and good will; )" when we
recollect how bitterly he is now hated
by the Radicals because of his bold
stand against their iron-clad oaths and
other illegal and tyrannical acts and
edicts; when we recollect that he pos
sesses very superior ability and attain
ments, and that his courage is equal
to both ; and when We remember that
he received the yote of all the mem
bers of the Convention, and that he
endorses our Platform, we cannot do
otherwise than to yield to him, also,
a most hearty and cordial support
We believe the ticket, thus presented
by the National Democratic Conyen-
ton, is a very strong one-combining
as it does, in their Platform and in the
persons of their candidates, every ele-
ment of success ; and we fling our
banner to the breeze with the strong
conviction that Victory will irradiate
its folds with a halo of glory next No
vember.

Tux CLIMAX REACHED-A C0wARDLr
DEvIcE.-Every body knows that the
republican party has, in times past, per.
petrated many uuscenily and disreputable
acts, but il remained for them to reach
the climax of poltroonery on Saturday last
IN Salem. That day was emphatically .
Democratic day in that city; Democratic
Demonstration, gotten up by Democrats
paid for By Democrats and patronized
BY Democrats, was being held. A narrow
minded. bigoted jealousy prorapted the
republicans of the city who are, as q gen.
eral thing, as destitute of patriotism az
they are ignorant of the fitness of things,
to attempt to pirate and appropriate the
day to the service of the Mongrel cause.

proximity tothe Democratic banners, flags
and devices, . Grant and ColGax rag With

deed must a political party be when its
principles and standard bearers are SO OBJ
noxious TO the people that it has to avail
itself of the occasion Of a popular out,
pouring of the opposition to Haunt its
emblcms. BE it said to the credit how
ever of numerous republicans Ct Salem.
that they opposed tho piratical and dis
gushing proceeding to the end, and one of
them ut least, ayailed himself of the oc.

STORMY MARCH.

The stormy March is come at last.
With wind and cloud and changing SKY
/ hear the rushing of the blast,
That through the snowy valley hies.
All passing few are those who speak,
Wild stormy month in praise of thee!
Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art q welcome month to me.
For thou to Northern lands again,
The glad and glorious sun doth bring
And thou has Joined the gentle train,
And vearest the gentle name of Spring
And in thy reign of blast and storm,
Smiles many long bright sunny day
When the changed winds are soft and warm
And heaven puts on the bloom OF May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills,
And the full springs from frost set free,
That brightly leaping down the hills
Are just set out to meet the sea-
The years departing beauty hides,
Of wintry storms the sullen threat,
But in thy sternest frown abides
A loo k of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope of those calm ski es
And that soft hue of many showers,
When the wide bloom on earth that lies,
Seems of brig hter world than ours.
