BY ALBERT PIKE.


When Autumn's chilly winds complain.
And red leaves withered fall,
We Know ihst Spring will laugh sglin.
Aud leaf and flower recall.
But when Loves ssddening Autumn wears
The hues that death presage,
No Spring in Winters lap prepares
A second golden age.s
So when LIES Autumn sadly sighs,
Yet smiles its cold tears through,
No spring with warm end sunny skies
The souls youth will renew.
Love blooms hut once and dies for al:
Life has no second Spti0g:
The frost must come. tue snow must fall,
Loud as the lark may sing.
o Love o Life ye fade like flowers
That droOp and die In June;
The present, oh, too short is ours,
And Autumn comes too soon.

Without haste, without rest

Bear IL with thee as q spell;

Heed not howers that rounf thee bloom,
Bear Ii onward to the tomb.
Haste rot let no thoughtless heed
Mar for aye the spirits speed;
Ponder vel ard know the ripht,
Onward then With all thy miRht;
Hsste lot years can ne'er atone
For one reckless action done.
Rest not LIE is sweeping by,
Go and dare before you die
Something mighty and sublime
Leave behind and conquer time
Glorious tits 10 live for aye.
Wien these forms have passed away.
Haste not ! rest not calmly wait,
Meekly bear ,he storms of fate!
Duty be thy proper guide
Do the right whateer Detide
Haste not rest not conflicts past,

asa. Bingham, the great Impeacher,
whose ideas are about as practical and as
"clesr as mud" tells the people that the
poor pay no taxes, but all the taxes are
paid by the rich. But the figures show up
Bingham falsehood and duplicity. None
but tho ignorant can be deceived by such
"silver-tongued" lies. 1t is the poor who
pay the indirect taxes on the necessaries of
life, from which the main part of the reve-
nue is derived.
WHAT is the reason that working,men do
not get along as well now as they used to
before the Radicals got possession of the
government 7arationi Last year no less
than $3l, ,929, 1922, in gold was levied on sue
gar and molasses alone. On tea a duty Of
rs cents per pound, in gold, islevied. From
this source alone the sum Of S. 292, ,425 is
derived. From coffee 1882, ,24s; SO that
on these three articles, tea, sugar, and Office,
the enormous sum Of $4S, ,204, 1876, an 0otd
is obtained. Aud the same proportion
holds on all the necessaries of life Here is
the explanation. The revenues are raised
on articles Of consumption, and are paid by
the indu tri,l classes be,a Sc tle q e much
more numerous than the wealthy, and be
cause the wealthy by raising rents and rais-
ing all prices get back their taxes into thor
own pockets.
Bingham will have to try some new
dodge.

Total dett, less cash in
Treasury. y.......n.... ....... S2,5356 56l4,3I5
The foregoing is n correct statement of
the public debt, as appears from the books
and Treasurer's returns in the Department
on the first of September, 1868.
[Signed HUGH MCCULLOCH,
Secretary of the Treasury.
An increase of twelve million seventy
sew. thousand eight hundred and tfirty-two
dollars and thirty>six cents to be supplied
by increased taxation, and that, too, in
time of profound peace, and when the Rad
icals are repeatedly affirming that the debt
is being decreased, is a sample OF what we
are to expect in the future.
This terrible increase of the public debt
in one month is within fraction of the en-
tire expenses of the Government under
John Quincy Adams.
On the 3Oth day of November last, the
Secretary of the Treasury reported that, on
the 3lst day of March, 1868, the total debt
of the United States was So, 366, 955, OFT "a.
In two years and three months OF peace, the
public debt has increased ONE HUNER-
ED AND SIXTY-EIGHr MILLION
SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTH NINE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS AND SIX
LYNNE CENTS!
This increase is created by the profigacy
of a Radical Congress-by the immense
amount taken from the Treasury to sup
port the Frecdman's Bureau in the South =
to feed and to clothe and to keep in idleness
negroes in the South and to build school
houses, furnish books, pay tuition and to
feed the children of negroes while they are
schooled at the Government expense, and
to keep up the large Standing Army in the
South, to ceerce the people and to make
the negroes voters, so as to perpetuate the
power of the Radicals in these States,
| At this rate of increase if a Radical Con.
CESS is elected, it will take more money than
there is in the world to pay off the debt, and
more than there is in the United States to
pay the interest, particularly if the bond
holders get it in gold as its equivalent.
Tax Payers, look at these exhibits and
determine in your own minds ii Radical rule
be worth the price it costs. How can you
vote for Bingham.

A Ready AnsyTer-The Logic OF
Folly.

The Republican is governed by strange
tactics, or, as the negro preacher expressed
it-''tick-tacks. Just so it says some
thing, it thinks its readers will imagine that
something to be sfns,Lle something.
Its ready answer co everything concern
ing the policy of its party or the action of
its candidates, is the very gentIemanB one

An infilel might refnte the Holy Scrip
lures with the same style of argument, but

would see how silly and foolish it was-even
worse than the chickering's of dotage.

how the canvass will go; but now that am

see the Republican ale trying to dodge the
financial issues, and to sink the election in
to mere personal contest. Our papers
must not allow this. They must push the
debt and taxation upon the public atten-
ton If you have time. hope you will
run up and SEQ me. Mrs. Seymour joins
me in asking you to give our respects to
Mrs Ingersoll shall be glad to hear
from you at all times. Truly yours,
HORATIO SEYMOUR
Hon. q. NJ. INGERsoLL, Now lIaven,
Connecticut.
Gov. SEYMOUR is right; the debt and
taxation question is the only one which,
just now, concerns our people, and unless
they decide it now, they will never get anoth-
er change. The election cf Grant, anil
Republican Congress, will fasten forever
the national debt upon the backs of the
people; they never can get rid Of it, unless
the Democracy triumph at this election
