ELrrDIAToN =" Brick" Pomeroy's new
paper, the New York Democrat, is ont
boldly for reputation. In an editorial in
its third number, on the public debt it
said i-s @~'a...r .'~ - .aar. '...
We sweep aside the internnable discus,
sions about The terms Of the bargain, and
ask simply, does justice to the people re-
1uire that the bargain be recognized ? II
we fi"d that corrupt Congress obtained
the consent Of an ignorant, thoughtless and
excited people to the erection of that stu.
pendous monument Of national folly called
the national debt; If we find that the debt
was corruptly contraeted that its terms
are usurous; II we become convinced that
a national debt is the most powerful means
oil national corruption; that it causes an
unequal and unfair distribution of prop.
crty: that it creates a mischievous, idle,
non>producing. untsxed, bonded aristoc-
racT that it throws the burden Of taxation
entirely upon the. laboring class; that it
hampers production aud increased extrava-
gance that IL makes millopaires on one
side and pnupers on the other; and that. it
breeds crime as. the hot sun breeds maggots ::
If We find. in a word, that a national debt
is an unmitigated national curse. we shall
waste no time upon the written law to dis :.
cover. it's letter or its spirit, but shall appeai
at once to the higher law Of national well
fare, which demands that so potent AT evil
be at once abolished.
