Reputation of the Whole Debt
Brick Pomeroy, after discussing the fiuan-
cial situation, and the remote chances of
Democratic success, says:
'In that day we shall hear nothing
about incidental protection of home manu-
factures, for we will wipe out the whole
system. Nothing of payment of the bonds
in greenbacks, and taxing them, for ice
riH repudiate the ,rhole debt, aud leave
nothing to be paid or taxed. Nothing of
whether the Federal Government shall
furnish US a greenback or national bank
currency, for we will have neither of
them, but clean them both out and force
the government back into the exercise OF
its constitutional function of coming
money-gold and silver-and leave to
the States the establishment of such bank
ing systems as they may see fit to devise
Then. too, if this uigger question shall
be still on our hands. we will dispose Of
it as white men should"

Taking Back Seats.

In his speech at the union meeting
Nashville, 10 Jsne, 1864, Governor An.
drew johnson said /:
Why all this carnage and desoi.s;on
1t was that treason might be put down
and traitors punished. Therefore, | say
that traitors should take back seat in
the work of restoration. IF there be BAT
five thousand men ia Tennessee loyal to
the Constitution, loyal to freedom, loyal
to justice, those true and faithful men
should control the work of reorganiza
tion and reformation absolutely. | say
that the traitor has ceased to be cit
izen, aud, in joining the rebellion, has
become public enemy. lie forfeited
his right to vote with loyal men when he
renounced his citizenship, and sought to
destroy our Government
This was very souDd at the time it was
spoken, but events seem TO show that i (
was sound, and nothing more. The way
traitors took back seats at the Democratic
Convention was shown by the Committee
on the Platform adopting Wade Hamp-
tons plank, tina. all "the reconstruction
acts OF Congress are unconstitutional,
null, and void !" We rather think that
is given traitors seats with very high
backs to them.

General Mcclellan has had nnhlie

General Mcclellan has had public re.
ceptions in New York and PHILADELPHIA
since his return from Europe. That in
New York was altogether Democratic
demonstration, bu. the one in Pbiladel
phia, on Thursday last, seems to have been
more general. No political banners or
illusions were allowed in the procession
which was two hours in passing the Con-
tinental. The General still processes to
be good Democrat, but he refuses to
connect himself with any public meeting
or demonstration in favor of Seymour aud
Blair. He knows well enough that Grant
will be elected, and does not want to make
any inconvenient committals at present
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-15

Chief-Justice Chase, lately prominent
candidate for the Democratic nomination,
has now come out squarely for Grant and
Colfax. He thinks that Seymour will
not get more than six or seven States. -
Secretary Seward has come out on the
same platform, and is probably squirting
toward the mission to England. Senator
Patterson of Tennessee. the Presiden' t
son-in-law, who has been extremely "con.
servative" since johnson Joined the Dem
ocrats, has also declared for Grant. These
men are all shrewd enough to see what
is coming, and are getting aboard the
Republican train before it is too late.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-15
The only Radical Ohstacla.

Were there no laws. Democracy would
be everywhere triumphant. From Maine
to the Cult, in everJ State OF the Union,
they conduct this canvass, basug all the /,
hopes of a victory upon the evasion o.
the defiance of some existing law. At
the North, their game rests upon natura-
lixation frauds and illegal colonizatons
at the South, they shoot Union men and
hang sberiffs as disturbers OF the peace
In Missouri, West Virginia and all other
States where loyal registration is re-
quired, they bully the official boards, and
openly threaten to disregard their autho-
rity. Time was when . more respectable
Democracy fought its battles and won its
victories within the pale of the law itself;
their only hope for triumph now is by
thus trampiing laws under foot. Blair
struck the key note, hampton led the TIME
and the National Democracy swells the
chorus of rebellious and violent rcsis-
tance to Constitutions and laws, whether
National, State or municipal.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-15

Connecticut is going to vote for Grant.
She was one Of the few States that were
conceded to Seymour by most Republi-
cans, but she will not stand by the clas-
si6catiou. Her town or local elections,
held all over the State last Monday, show
large Republican gains. Last spring the
Democratic majority for Governor was
over seventeen hundred this fall the ag.
gregate Republican majority in the town
elections is about three thousand This
vote determines where Connecticut will
be in November. Add her six electoral
votes to the column of Grant and Colfax.
Let us of Pennsylvania, do as well, and
We shall be satisfied
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-15
How the Rebels Howl /!

Tho Rebel Democracy are boisterous
in their denunciations of the Public Elk
peuditures under Republican rule. They
don't like it that millions were expended
to keep on the waters feet to protect
the commerce of the Union from being
plundered by the Democratic pirates who
roved the high seas. And, lest it should
be disputed that these pirates were Dem
oerats, we will quote from an Admiral of
the Pirate Navy. Semmes says: 81
have been Democrat all my life-before
the war, during the war, and since the
war and fought the war on the principles
of Democracy"
Many millions more had to be cxpend'
ed to drive back armies of Democrats, led
by such Generals as ex-Gov. Vance o.
North Carolina, who says, that 'by the
election of Seymour and Blair all the
COME leracy fought for viii be won" wht
says, "the cause will yet triumph"
1t was expended to procure ambu
lauces, maintain hospitals and secur:
surgical aid for the three hundred thous
aud patriots wounded by deadly weapons
in Democratic hands.
1t was expended to reward with boun
ties the gallant volunteers who perilec
their lives in defence of coSo.ry epdan
gered by Democratic treason.
1t was expended to pay pensions Il
heroes disabled by Democratic Rebels.
1t was expended to pay interest o1
three thousand millions of debt brough
on the Nation by Democratic Rebellion
1t was expended to reduce the Nation
al Debt hundreds Of millions of dollars.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-15

The greenback dodge, with which the
Democrats started the Presidential cam
paign, seems to have been very thorough
ly "played out" already. Even in the
West, where it originated, it is seldom
mentioned now. Frank Blair's sharp and
true saying that it was of no use to talk
about paying the debt till we had decid
ed whether we were to have a Govern.
ment to pay it or to owe it. has made its
mark. And people, moreover, have every
where come to see that giving your note
for your debts don't pay them. The
debt is heavy but the people do not feel
so poor yet as to be under the necessity
Of sweating the coin before paying their
creditors.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-15
Judge Sharswood on Saturday last gave

Judge Sharswood on Saturday last gave
his decision in regard to the conduct OF
Prothonotary Suowdeu. The Judge de.
clared that neither the Prothonotary nor
his clerk had done anything improper,
and directed the rule upon him to be dis
charged. Neither could he see anything
illegal or improper in the fact of papers
having been found in the pocket of John
Devine, and the rule in his case wa. also
discharged. According to this view,
nothing at all wrong has been done. Jus
tice Agnew, however, has written letter
to Mr.. Snowden, emphatically disapprov-
ing of his method of doing business in
the name of the Court. This letter has
the sanction of Justice Read and it
seems probable that this is the last time
that the Supreme Court will be run as a
machine for turning out Dsmocratic yo-
ters.

Taxation of Bonds-A Democrat Speaks


In speaking of the exemption of Uni
ted States bonds from State and local
taxation, Judge Comstock said
The Law of Congress, under which
the bonds are issued, declare their ex-
emption from taxation by the States and
the municipalities which exercise the tax.
ing power under State authority. But
this is constitutional principle withou;
an act Of Congress. The credit of the
National Government is one of the means
and instrumentalities by which its delega-
ted functions and powers are exercised
both in peace and war. If the States
could tax that credit at their pleasure or
caprice without the consent of Congress
they might tax the Government of the
Union out of existence. The exemption
therefore, exists by political and con
stitutional necessity, and no ordinance OF
Congress can add to its force. The prin.
ciples has long been settled in the jurs
prudence of the country, and whether we.
refer the exemption to the constitutional
principle or to the legislation of Con
gress, it exists, for the sake of the Gov
ernment rather than for the sake OF the
holder of its bonds aud credit. 1t exist.
for the sake Of the Government, because
without it the very existence of the U
niou might depend on the caprice of the
States"
This is the opinion expressed By Judge
Comstock, of Syracuse, leading Demo
crat, In 4 speech delivered by him in thai
city, August lst. Now, does not this
show the falacy of the great hullsbaloo
made by the Democratic orators, abou
the taxation of the Government bonds
They know we'll enough that they canno
do it, even if they could get into power
but they are in hopes they can get int
power on that hobby. The people arc
becoming more and more aware of thei
per6dious schemes, aud they will see t.
it on the Sd day of November, that such
Vaccinations do not go down.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-15
'One Currency"

The Republicans as fast as possib!s
propose to make greenbacks equal to gold,
when it will make no difference which
the bonds arc paid in the Republican
party can ever be relieved of the necessi-
ty of incurring heavy expenditures to
keep in subordination the tendencies of
Democracy to anarchy, greenbacks and
gold will speedily approximate in value
aud the whole financial problem will be
solved, without injustice either to the
taxpayer or the bondholder, for both will
be paid in the same currency. The AL
bany Journal thus pigranmatically sets
forth the difference between the Demo
cratic and Republican "one currency"
The one currency Of the Democracy is

The one currency of the Republicans
is GOLD.
