cratic War, this infamous party is
urging the impossibiIity Of the people
cancellng this debt, and provokeS them
to repudiate the faithful obligations of
the Government, flood the country
with worthless currency, and involve
US in financial ruin. They incite TO
bloodshed and war by branding the
acts and Legislation of the Constitutional
Congress Of our land, as usurpations Of
power, unconstitutional, null and void,
and threaten immediate war unless they
are Immediately 'remaaoleP TO power.
Just one more count, and we are done.
The Democratic party, above all Others,
has a native tact, and chronic dispo.
sition, to stuff ballot boxes, steal ballots,
buy votes, and import and colonize
voters, and anything else that will re-
store them to the coveted control of the
Government. Let every Loyal and
Patriotic man of the land join hands to
avert this calamity. Let the friends of
Liberty, Justice, and Constitutional
Government come out in their great
might at the November election, and
give Grant and Colfax a majority that
will forever damn these traitors and
their coadjutors More anon.

change bit, only as carrion changes
to get more offensive and odious.
Let us not be deceived. Whoever
votes the Democratic ticket this fall,
votes for a party that fired upon the
flag, shot down boys in blue, starved
our brothers in Andersonville, and to-
day are trying to destroy the Union.
Whoever votes for Seymour, votes to
raise up the boysi in gray, and put down
the boys in blue.
Every man in America that loves the
army of Grant will vote for Grant.
Every man that loves the army Of Jeff.
Davis will vote for Seymour. The line
is plain. All the boys in blue are on
this side. All the boys in gray on the
other side. 1t is Union against rebel,
as Of old. May God give the victory
once more to His party, the cause of
Truth, Liberty, and Right,
Yours truly,

DeCent Grnnt. or We Rebel.

This is the motive if not the motto OF
the rebel leaders of the Democratic par
ty. We have given the words of Hamp-
ton, Wise, Cobb, Toombs, Lswton,
Forrest, and now we print those Of
John Forsyth in the Mobile Register Of
recent date:
"If by any species of chicancery or
fraud the legitimate voices Of the ma
jority of the Whole people ofthe United
States arc contemned, and the Radical
candidates are pronounced elected by
the Radical Congress, the Democracy
will not submit to it, and will take
arms to sustain the DEGREES of the bal
lot-box. Now, if civil war
come out of this conflict of political
forces, the white men of the South can
not be worsted; for war and its terrors,
in their deadliest form, are not COM
parable to the evils they will hare to
endure under perpetuation of scala
wag and carpet-bag rule. And
here we may as well say that the peo-
pie of the South do not intend to sub
nit to that permanent rule, result as the
Presidential election may. And they
have only submitted to its indignities
and insults so far, because they have
been waiting for the good sense and
Justice ofthe American people to rel;ete
them from it, and restore them to their
civil rights in the November elections "
This is plain English and fair warn
ing
The desperation of the rebels is ex-
planned by the fact that they have no
remedy against Reconstruction but re-
sort to arms. They are foreclosed by the
certainty of Grants election, by the
impossiblity of making Congress Dem
ocratic, by the fact that the Supreme
Court is committed against touching a
matter belonging entirely to the Legis-
lative and Executive, and finally by the
new XIVth Article amending the Con-
stitution.
We think we can see Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan, on their western travels,
reading these wild threats OF the authors
of the rebellion. And if the rebels
doubt their answer, let them make
another attack on the Old Flag !-ToisdO

Rebel Democracy.
The Charleston Mercury says Of Its
fallou, na,o o,,ra1a % IT. Oil

The Charleston Mercury says Of its
fellow Democrats at the South:
"Not one honest man, South of Ma
son aud Dixon's line, is ashamed of the
lhusket he bore or the sword he drew
in defense of the Confederate flag The
man who says he is ashamed of it, lies.
Let every honest man at the North be
sure of the fact, that the man who says
so wants to swindle money out of some-
body. He is a knave either in the first
or in the last step"
The Mobile Register improves the
above text as follows:
"a good many of our Southern peo-
pie are of the opinion that it is bad
policy for late Confederates, so pro.
nOunced and noted as Gems Wade
Hampton, Admiral Semmes and others,
to take prominent part in the present
campaign, for the reason that Radical
thieves will raise the mad-dog cry Of
'Rebel,' and so iDjure the cauSe of con-
stitutional freedom The time for that
style of caution has passed; and the
Rebel cry, like The entire Caitse of the
Radicals, is played out. With the
meeting and close Of the great National
Convention in Tammany Hall, July4,
we have entered upon new phase Of
our political career. On the alter of
the new Tammany, dedicated to con-
stitutiohal liberty, was laid, by the
unanimous consent of representatives.
from every State and Congressional
District in the United States, every
feeling and prejudice that grew out of
the late war, as a sacrifice to great
and common cause; and there the
lovers of liberty from both of the late
belligerent sides clasped hands and
recorded vows of fraternity and swore
to be comrades, shoulder to shoulder
in the second war for the independence
of the States and the freedom of the
people.
No men received more hospitable
and marked welcome in the Conven-
ton, in the city, and in the North, than
Gems. Hampton and Forrest; and this
not only from a genuine admiration of
the heroic characters of these great
cavalry officers, but in order to signal
ize and keep the trtce that had been
made between the friends of liberty in
the North and in the South. This act
broke the spell of a doubtful prudence
in policy. And now, so far from adj
yising these gentlemen, including Adj
niral Semmes, not to appear in public
as advocates Of seymour and Blair, if
We had our way, we would put them
in the field of campaign in the North,
and let them speak, and canvass, and
utter the boldest truths that they feel,
from every stump in the North and
West. The period for sparring has
gone past. We must gloves off now,
and with bare knuckles-ay, with mailed
hands-we must up and at the enemies
of our liberty"
We heartily second the proposition,
and propose that General Forrest and
Admiral Semmes should together stump
the North for their cause and candi-
date. Forrest might demonstrate the
Democratic love of the Blacks, when
they are in their proper place; and
Semmes, having already shed much
light on the decline of foreign COM
merce and navigation, might with con-
fdence be expected to shed still more
Bring them on!

Fort Pillow Forrest speaks.

Gen. Negro Butcher Forrest has been
attending Peace Pow Wow ofrebel
officers at Memphis. He feels called
upon to make a speech in order that he
may tell the American people what he
will do. After deprecatiDg the passage
of the Militia law by the State leglSla-
ture, Forrest says:
"Troops would be called out. He
was confident, too, that they would be
backed by the Federal forces. Presi-
dent Johnson, Notwithstanding all he
and others had done to crafty his pride
in the National Convention, had gone
back on the Democracy. He did not
look for any help from him, but it mat
tered not how many were arrayed
against him and his old comrades. He
liked peace, but if any of them were
shot down, as he expected they would
be, he could toOt his horn. He knew that
his old troops would answer as they
had always done. He bade them arm
themselves and be ready. They were
already drilled and needed no drilling
If the fight opened, it would not be
troops in line Of battle confronting each
other, but citizen against citizen. He
should be in farOr Of giring no quarter"
Giving no quarter brings to mind
"reminiscences that it would be as well
as not to recall
We have always regarded it as a dis
grace to the United States Govern
ment that Forrest was not shot or hung.
If we had stated at the time Of the Fort
Pillow massacre that Forrest would in
four years be leading member of a
National Convention to nominate a
Democratic candidate for President OF
the United States, the statement would
have been denounced by that party as
an atrocious libel But such is fact and
the Democracy glory in the fact. He
it is now that now threatens to give
the liberty-loving, Union-loving pat
riots of Tennessee, 'no quarter" i
the Blair and Forrest Democracy are
triumphant, loyalists the land over vii
receive no quarter.

GODS MESSENGER.

Adown the SLOWLY creeping years.
Well laden with their hopes and fears,
gaze long and weary way,
And see myself approach the time
When like all things past their prime,
And slowly tending TO decay.
/ note how surely fades away
The beauty from this house of clny
mark full we'll the eyeoight dim,
The tUtterlng step, the withering cheek,
The falterng hands, now all too weak
To do their bit of work for Him.
/ see the soul shrunk, grown with years
Too weak for joy, too dull for tearsi
The butterfly, turned chrysalis,
In some small corner closely curled,
Forgetting there the noisy world
Hath scarcely less of life than this,
And then In that great strait, see
Gods messenger come down to me.
A child leaps lightly to my breast
little darling" fresh from bliss,
And on these lips, unused to kiss,
As once of old are kisses prest.
So close and warm that loving grasp,
so tight around my neck the clasp,
Once more with Joy the dull heart thrills
And to the lin and faded eyes
The sunny paths of youth arise,
A brimming tide the desert fills.
And at that touch the bonds give way,
The pent soul bursts its lettering clay
Upsprings from dust and darkness here,
It's uuickened powers with life expand,
And, fresh and young, they hand in hand
Mid boundlsss worlds their course may steer.

Public Debt Belng DDnaInished.

The n. Y. Financial Chronicle of Sat-
urday, a non-political journal effectually
disposes of the falsehood that the pub4
lie debt is being increased annually. 1t
has in point of fact been reduced 35
millions during the last fiscal year.
The Chronicle says:
"The other point to which we refers
red has to do with the increase of the
public debt Some persons suppose
that the alleged issues such as we have
cited involve in some way an enlarge
ment of the aggregate, or at least of
the interest. This illusion will vanish
if we remember that from August 81,
1865, to June so, 1868, there has been
reduction of the national debt to the
amount of two hundred and fifty mill
lions of dollars. This reduction would,
at six per cent, save the country no
less than fifteen million of dollars a
year. But this is not all. Cotempo-
raneously with these reductions, about
ITO millions a year of internal revenue
taxes have been removed that is, the
burdens of the people have been lessen
ed to that amount We have another
illustration of the financial strength OF
the country. That there will be no
occasion for an increase of the debt is
confirmed by the large revenue receipts,
and the diminishing expenditures Of
the current year. In the last fiscal
year the receipts were: from customs
$193, 900 900, from internal revenue
S19S, 900 900, miscellaneous $40, ,800,-
600, the total being $4O6 800, 900 The
expenditures were but 1871, $780, ,225,
leaving surplus of income over expen-
ditures of nearly 35 millions.
