Bonds held abroad pay no taxes, and We

If the interest on all the bonds paid in.
come tax, it would yield only about ST.
100000. AS it is it does not yield 81
100000. The property of farmers and
taxpayers, in Indiana alone, is taxed over
SS,000,0 900, besides what is collected for
national purposes by indirect taxation.
Every class of business pays tax to the
government Look at the stamp act, the
license law, the tariff oct, the income tax,
and the removal of tax from manufactures;
by some one or more OF these means they
reach the poorest man, and it all comes out

They have violated the laws of finance,
and created debt uselessly as to one half
of it, and now insist on paying it in gold.
They destroyed the credit of their own pa
per by making it legal tender and legis-
latiug liz favor of gold The debt to be
paid is s2,G53, 100000. There is only
$4,000 100000 of gold and silver in the
Whole ,corid and if We cannot pay the in
terest in gold without keeping gold at 40
cents premium, we cannot pay the princi
pal in gold by waiting forty years, when
there is not gold enough in the whole
world to pay it now, and mean time pay
it twice and a half over in interest alone.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1868-10-08

All debts are sacred and should be paid =,
this no more than any other. 1t was not
for money lent to save the life Of the ma
ton; 100000, 600 have been issued since
the war closed. The bonds can be bought
to-day for 70 cents on the dollar in gold.
The holders paid only from 4S to IS cents
and have received 81 per cent. per annum,
in interest and being exempt from TAXA
ton, is q more. 1t is unjust and suicidal
to falslfy facts before the people.
We have got to live in the same house
wi III them, or dissolve the union and Ie-
galze secession. 1t is better to give them
some rights and make them respectable,
and live in peace, aud enable them to pay
taxes, instead Of degrading ourselves, and
paying .axes to support rebels who have
no right, and who we can neither hang
nor damn.

SPEECH OF YOUNG DOUGLAS.

AT a Republican mass meeting held
III Raleigh, North Carolina, on the
10th of September, Robert NJ. Douglas
the eldest son of the late Stephen A.
Douglas, delivered a speech. North
Carolina is the home of this young
Douglas, and his ability to assume the
mantle of his father may be fore
shadowed in his maiden political
speech, which is as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS: Though ii may
appear presumption in one so young
to attempt to discuss questions which
tax the energies and abilities of our
greatest statesmen, yet, feeling in this
vital struggle, on which / believe the
future prosperity, if not the very eX-
istence, of our country depends, it is
the duty of every one, young and old,
to exert his utmost in defence of our
sacred cause, obey your call. This is
probably the first time in our nations
history that a young man has had the
opportunity of appearing before a pop
ular gathering as the advocate Ofa tru-
" national party-a party that is gov
erned by no sectional interests or par
tisan prejudices, but whose motto is
our whole country, whose eternal
principles are equal rights and equal
laws. l do not look upon this as a
canvass which will decide the manner
in which the government of the coun-
try shall be administered, but as an
issue on which will depend the vital
question, ''Shall we have a country ?"
Sincerely believing this, 1 shall not
attempt to deal with minor questions
of domestic policy, but shall come at
once to the main issue-UniOn or dis
union, peace or war.
What satisfaction does the true
patriot derive from the adoption of his
dearest theories of government, if in
the adoption of those theories begins
the ruin of the land he fondly hoped
they would lead to greatness? Laws

Want of Cnnrn~n

Sidney Smith, in his work on moral
philosophy, speaks in this wise of
what men lose for wantOf little brass
as it is termed:
"A great deal of talent is lost to
the world for want of a little courage.
Every day sends to their graves a
numberOt obscure men who haveonIv
remained in Obscurity because their
tlmldlty has prevented them from
making the first effort and who. if
they could only have been induced to
begin, would in all probability have
gone great lengths in the career of
fame. The fact is that in order to do
any thing in the world worth doing
we must not stand shivering on the
bank, and thinking of the cold and
danger, but jump in and scramble
through as well as we can. 1t will not
do to be perpetually calculating risks
and adjusting chances. 1t all did very
well before the flood, when a man
could consult his friends upon an in
tended publication for a hundred and
fifty years, and then live to seei tissue
cess for six or seven centuries after
wards; but at present a man waits.
and doubts, and hesitates, and con-
suits his brother, and his uncle, and
his first cousin, and his particular
friends, till one day he finds that he
IS siXty-tive years of age, that he has
lost so much time in consulting first
cousins and particular friends that he
has no more time left to follow their
advice There is so little time for
oyer-squeamishness at present, the
slips away; the very pc
riOd of life at which a man chooses to
if ever, is so eOnfined-that
it is no bad rule to preach up the ne
eessity, in such instances, of a little
violence done to the feelings, and of
efforts made in defiance of strict and
sober calculation

Where the Blow MouId Fall.

Mr.. Pendleton's doctrine that the
national debt must be paid Off in
greenbacks has been accepted by his
party. He has shown in the Grafton
speech, and often since, that IL would
not require the printing of as many
dollars of paper as there are of bonds
to carry out the plan because $780,
000, 900 of it might be substituted for
the national bank notes. The actual
amount by which the currency would
be increased would be say 81, 300, 900, :
coo if the plan were limited to the five
twenties and the bank currency abOl-
ished. If the greenbacks retained, as
a whole, the same value they now
have, or say S275, 10000 in gold,
which is certainly a liberal SUPPOSE
ton, the bonds, now worth seventy
five in gold, would be worth twenty
one in gold; or would lose seventy
two per cent. of their whole value.
Who would be the losers?
This question has been fairly asked
in the EUeHiHg Post, and we have
given many facts bearing upon the
answer; but il seems impossible to as
certain fully whom the democratic
party proposes to tax nearly three
fourths of their property. Meanwhile,
Mr.. James a. Briggs, in a speech at
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has brought
together some figures which will aid
our readers in coming to a conclusion.
For example:
"The amount Of deposits in the savings
banks Of Massachusetts in 1857 was soO,45l,

TWO VALUABLE FARMS
Fob SALE

THE subscribers offer two valuable
u farms for sale, upon reasonable terms
We have one farm OF one hundred and 50
acres (lS0 acres,) which is situated in West
Salem Township, Mercer Co., Pa, about three
miles west of the town of GreenyilIe and Is
known as the Blank farm. The land is OF
ming purposes or grazing; about one hund-
red and twenty-five acres are under a high
state of cultivation, the balance is well tim
bered- There is on the premises a good va
riety of fruit, never falling streams Of water,
first class fences, dwelling house and all out
buildings generally found on first-class farms
There is also good sugar orchard on the
premises, and on the whole is every way a
desirable farm.
We also have another farm situated in Su-
gar Grove Township, about two miles east of
the town Of Greenville, containing one hun
dred and fifty (l50) acres of land. One hun
dred acres are under good cultivation, the
balance is very heavy timber land; there is
upon the premises two good dwelling houses
and all necessary out-buildings, never fail
ing water, and large orchard of fine grated
fruit, Of the choicest varieties, and any per-
son who desires first class farm, well and
pleasantly situated, with all the surround
1ngs which tend to make life happy, will do
well by calling upon the subscribers at their
store in Orangeyille, Ohio, or upon $. c. Sha-
Ter, or ID. A Shafer, who reside on either
farm, and any information as to terms Of
sale Will be promptly answered by mail or

circumstances

independent circumstances, and
heneefOrth virtue and intelligence
alone shall be the criteria of merit.
Nothing more clearly shows the utter
hOpeiessness of the sO-ealled cOnsery-
ative cause and the political degrada-
ton to which the party has descended
than the means employed to secure
success, since they are afraid to leave
the result with the unbiased votes of
the citizens of the State and country.
Any man who, by refusing employ
ment to all who will not swear to vote
the Democratic ticket-and this is
done openly all over the State-at-
tempts to starve a cOlOred man into
voting against his deliberate cOnvie-
tions and the best interests of his race,
is less worthy of the ballot than the
negro whom he influences.
Consider, then, the difference be-
tween the candidates-SeymOur,
former Governor of New York, and
Grant, the cOnquerOr of the rebellion.
1t is true that Seymour may be the
more fluent speaker, that is, may find
more to talk about; but when General
Grant has anything to say he is pretty
generality understood; since, for
instance, as his immediate and un-
conditional surrender" The former
know by reputation, the latter per-
sOnally. General Grant has not the
qualities requisite in hero Ofromance;
but the very fact that his mind is so
equally balanced that no one trait
predominates-eXcept, perhaps, his
invincible firmness and devotion to
constitutional liberty-fits him to calm
the domestic troubles of the country
his sword has saved. But l have no
fear of the result 1 have too much
confidence in the intelligence and
patriotism of my fellow-citizens of
North Carolina, and of the entire
Union. With this implicit trust 1
look forward to the 4th of next March,
when Grant and Colfax will take
their seats, as the Inauguration of a
now era, when peace and plenty will
smile over the entire country, healing
the breaches made by the late civil
war, while the old flag will once more
wave in triumph over a happy and
united land.
