The Democratic rebellion left us debt of
over $4,000, OOO, OO0 OF this debt two hundred
and fifty million has been paid off since the
close of the war.
The Democratic threats of reputation cost
the country forty millions in gold per annum.
The refusal of Democratic President to sign
the funding bill will prevent the conversion CT
the fve-twenties into bonds that draw only
four and four and half per cent. interest.
johnson, supported by the Democrats, pre-
vents in this way saving of at least twenty
five millions per annum in interest.
The States that are most heavily in debt are
those where the Democrats have never lost the
control, like Kentucky. The States that are
least in debt are those where the Republca ms
are uninterruptedly in the ascendency, like
Iowa, which is now entirely out of debt, and
Indiana, where over half of the debt has been
paid. 40 a t
The municipal corporations where the Dem
q ocrats are in power are the most notorious for
corruption and extravaganza. New York,
where the Democrats have full control, has
become proverbial for the recklessness with
which money is squandered. To come nearer
home, the difference between Democratic pro-
LESSONS of economy and Republican honesty
and good faith may be seen by comparison OF
the financial condition of the Republican city
of Saco and the Democratic city of BiddAford
The success of the lobby in State legislatures
Is in exact ratio to the strength of the Demo
cratic element. In New York last winter the
Democratic element was strong, and the lobby
was powerful enough to compel the resigna
ton of Republican member who preferred
charges against his corrupt and venal Demo-
cratic associates. In Massachusetts an I'M
precedented number of Democrats and Con-
servatives obtained seats in the General Cour
For the first time in the history of the old
Commonwealth the influence of the lobby was
powerfully felt, and more corrupt and extrav-
agant schemes got legislative endorsement
than for the twenty years preceding. In the
Maine and Vermont legislatures, neither lob
by nor Democrats have any apprecable
strength. 7a- ~
The Democrats in Congress voted unani-
mously for the increased pay of members. Not
Republican from Maine vo' ed for that meas
ure. In our own legislature last winter two
Democratic members strenuously insisted that
they were entitled to their pay in gold, though
Directing with the rest of their party to the
payment of gold to the public creditor who has
been promised coin. -f
After involving the country in the debt of
which they complain, the Democrats propose
no method of lightning its burdens but re-
pudiation, qualified or absolute while they re-
sist every honest endeavor of the Radicals to
make its weight less oppressive. 1.
Poor men of Maine, there is not statement

PANORAMA OF THE WAR.-This exhibition
at."Deering Hail." may be regarded as an ac-
curate pictorial history Of the late rebellion,
and the rarest and best yet presented. As a
work of art, it is highly meritorious; as vol
umn of instruction, tending towards an intel
ligent comprehension of scenes and deeds
with which we are all made familiar by read
ing or heresay, its value can only be apprecia-
ted by those who have seen it. There are no
leading features in the great war omitted from
the canvass that could render the story COM
plete; and with the graphic and affective de-
lineations of Miss Sallie Brownson Goodrich,
the entertainment is made complete. AS an
educational agency, its value can scarcely be
overestimated, for it imparts correct knowl-
edge of the most important character, and
stamps it upon the memory in way that no
other record could. This fact, as appears by
the press elsewhere, was appreciated in Boston
and New York by those having charge of the
educational interests of these cities. This af-
ternoon at half past two, there will be matt
nee more especially for the benefit of ladies
and children.

tiers now before the country, therefore,
R0sotUed, That we reconsider our former
vote, and hereby accept said invitation and ap-

NOTICE.
TO FORMER OWNERS OF SLAVES
IN CHARLES COUNTY.

IN CHARLES COUNTY.
THE undersigned, appointed ''Commis-
Il sioner of Slave Statistics" by the Cover
nor Of Maryland, by authority of an act OF the
General Assembly, "entitIed An Act to provide
for taking and perpetuating the evidence OF the
number OF persons held to labor and service in
the State of Maryland and emancipated by the
Constitution adopted in the year 1864, and by
whom such persons were heidi
Hereby gives notice, that he will attend at
his Office, in PORT TOBACCO, from day to
day, for the purpose of dschargng his duties as
said Commissioner.
The Act of Assembly designs to place, in the
safe keeping of the State, correct evidence ofthe
number of slaves held by her citizens, at the
time, when, under the influence of the pledge
of compensation from the United States, such
slaves were cmancipatcd. 1t is obvious that those
only will be compensated who furnish the State
with such evidence. The object of the Law and
the necessity of its passage may be better under
stood by reading the Law itself. The preamble
says:
. 'sThat the State of Mar yland has good,
valid and just claim upon the Government OF the
United States for reasonable and adequate COM
pensation for the said property and that it ought
not to be doubted that the Federal Government.
when the passions excited by the late unhappy
civil Wal shall have subsidized, will recognize the
justice of the said claims and faithfully perfor m
her manifest duty IN regard TO It,.
The law requires the following:
The names of the former owners, at the time
of the adoption of the Constitution in the year
1864.
"The names, number, age, sex and physical
condition of such slaves; whether they were
slaves for life or for term of years, and how
many years; whether they have been enlisted or
drafted into the United States, SO far is known
to said owners or Others; and into what regi-
ments they were placed, and what compensa-
ton, if any, has been received from the State or
General Government by such owner or owners
for such slaves so enlisted or drafted into the
military service of the United States.''
The testimony required is the sworn state
ment of the fol mer owner or legal representa-
tive, confirmed by the ''oath of at least two dis
interested Witnesses The record thus made
up is declared to be legal evidence upon all ques-
tons concerning the ownership of slaves in this
State at the time of the adoption of the Constit-
ution by which said slaves were emancipated. -
