Among the features of the present canvass. as in
former enthusiastic and soul-strring political cam
paigns, the lyric element fills important place.
and feryent, impassoned song often produces more
effect on the patriotic heart than the most eloquent
and persuasive speech. An excellent collection II
popular mnstrelsy entitled The Radical Drum Col
has just been published in this City, which is admi-
rably adapted for National Gee Clubs, and for public
gatherings where spirited music forms part of ths
programme. They include none of the dismal dron-
ing ditties to which the castiron Conservatives are
bound to march, but lively and cheerful in their
tone as the morning drum-beat and their merry ring
keeps good time with the steps of confident patriots
on their way to victory

which has cost the country at least Five
Thousand Millions of Dollars, piling our broad
land with corpses and mcrtgaging the sweat

a virtual mortgage of nearly ten per cent

Democrats who got up the Rebellion, or the

ten. The World does not exactly attempt this
confessedly difficult task; but in spirit of
sublime audacity it essays something hardly
less arduOus, viz, to show that should the
Republican gains in this State in the coming
Presidential election be in the same ratio as
the gains of the party in the State Of Vermont
at the election last Monday, Seymour will
assuredly carry New-Y York by an immense
majority. 1t is debatable whether it be posi-
Die to extract sunbeams from cucumbers; but
The Worlds handling of the figures Of the
Vermont election shows that it is not beyond
the reach OF human ingenuity to draw the
assurance of victory from disastrous defeat.
As we read those figures it appears to us that
"the same sort of Republican gain applied
" to this State" will give the State to Grant
by majority of nearly thirty thousands but
our estimate is based upon the returns, SO far
as they have been received, and not upon mere
guess work. With regard to the verdict which
Vermont will deliver next November, Judging
from the past, there is no room to doubt that
it will be of the most emphatic character. AS
The World is so apt at figures, we give 1t this
sum in simple proportion to work: IL In 1854,
when that State gave Abraham Lincoln
majority of 10000, the majority at the State
election was but $4,000, what in 1868, when the
majority at the State election is $4,000, VIII be
the majority for Grant as PresidentY

Mr.. Wells, at the request of the Hon. William
B. Allison, recently made clear statement
and signed his name to it, setting forth par
tcularly the Expenditures of the fiscal year
just closed. Is his a true or a false statement
We believe it true, and have so treated it.
Who impeaches its dccaracyP Does Mr.. McCul-
loch7 or his Chief of Statisticsi Surely not
Does "a Radical7" If he does, why not ask
Mr.. Wells to explainf
According to Mr.. Weiss figures, the Ma
tional Debt should have been sS4749,777 les
on the 1st of July last than it was one year
before. Gle gives this as an approximation,
not an exact statement.) Now, says GA Radi-
"cal,r it seems to be over 81, 900 more how
is thatf
We answer: A very large amount Of bonds
has meantime been issued to the Pacific Rail
roads-said bonds being loaned to and payable
principal and interest by the roads, and only
by the Government in case the roads fail; in
which case, the Government has a second mort
gage on the roads for the money. We think
these bonds not fairly accounted part of the
Debt: but we will not reargue that point.
Well, says ga Radical there is still S14,767.-
S31 unaccOunted for. Suppose there is, who is
responsible for it Have we had control Of
it Has Congress Has Mr.. Wells Sup
pose that amount has been stolen, or wasted.
or lost, should the bill be sent to usi
Mr.. Wells has access to the Treasury books
we have not. He has meant to transcribs
from these the exact figures. If he has blum
dered, let the Secretary, or the Chief of the
Bureau of Statistics, or some other SeymOurite.
put his finger on the error and expose it,.
Bear in mind that the Debt is confessedy
less apart from the Pacific Railroad bonds
that it was year ago-that We have paid of
$12,OOO,OOO of back interest on the Compound
Interest Notes, which is an additional reduc-
ton of the Debt. Now, we have just lost
$7,2O0,0O0 in gold paid to Russia for that splin-
ter of the North Pole, and that will give q
chance for another cutlery that the Debt has
been increased when the next monthly state
ment comes out Is this fair Isn't he a queer
Radical who helps on the gamef
