DEMOCRATS, ORGANIZE I

We again appeal to the democrats in
every township in this county, to 60 to work,
now, and form clubs for business in the
present campaign. They will find them of
great benefit IN carrying forward the work
Of the democratic party Because town
has few democrats and everything is the
other way, is no objection against the lorna
ton Of n club, but is really strong reason
for forming one. Let clubs be formed at
once, adopt the New York platform as their
creed Of faith, and then invite every one
willing to subscribe to those principles to
| Join and sign their names IN the club book.
Some towns object to forming clubs because
there are no public speakers in town capable
Of entertaining the club with speeches.
Thatis poor excuse, Speeches are Of
secondary Importance. Let the members
of the club meet once week, talk over the
prospects Of the town, canvass the voters ,ap.
point canysssing committees for each school
district, and do whatever work may seem nee.
essary to give to the party thorough organi
zation, and increase its members. Instead
of public speeches, let the members, if they
find anything especially interesting in their
papers during the week, read it to the club.
Also let them raise a few dollars and send to
Washington or Springfield for such docu.
ments as will be of interest in their neigh.
borhood, either in English, German, or y
other language. In this way, the WAmb, q
will not only acquire political info nation,
but will learn every want Of their party in
the town, aud know just when and where to
strike the hardest blows for the democracy
and the Union. Clubs should be foomed at
once, and enter upon the work. Try it,
Every town will find it not only servicable, but
highly entertaining. A half dozen demo
ocrats is enough to start club with. Organ.
ize, and recruits will come.
Also let them get up occasional evening
meetings and invite some of the Rock Island
speakers to address them. There are
several men here who will 90 if invited. In
short, let the democrats of each township
take hold and manage their own affairs. If
there isn't but dozen in the township, let
them organize and make an eHortto increase
their number, and thus do their part towards
redeeming the county, the state and the ma
ton. For the next three months the demo.
Gratis of each township should use every
possible effort to show honest republicans
that the interests of the country require n
change Of administration. And they can
do this best by organizing and procuring
suitable reading matter which will explain
the true position of the democratic party
! There is no time to lose

EGYPT WIDE AWAKE.

The democracy of southern Illinois are
wide awake to the crisis and will give good
account of themselves in November. They
are holding monster mass meetings, some OF
them the largest ever yet held in the state. A
few days ago, the democracy of southern I'll

cue at Mt, Vernon, at which, it is said, there
were not less that thirty thousand people
present. The meeting, the barbecue, and
the general arrangements for the occasion
are thus described by the Springfield Reg
lister:
The democracy Of southern Illinois held
monster ratification meeting at Mt. Yer,

q very attractive feature of the OCCASION
Trenches three hundred feet in length were
dug, in which fire was placed for roasting
meats for the occasion. These comprised
thirty.one fat beeves, one hundred and forty
sheep and seventeen hogs. Five thousand
pounds of bread were piled upon one hun
dred and forty tables at which the vast muI.
titud dined. The scene of the meeting and
barbecue was in Casey's beautiful grove, in
the southwest part Of Mt. Vernon. Here
were erected three stands for speakers, seats
for the ladies and other arrangements made
for the accommodation of the immense
crowd. The people in attendance at this
monster gathering Of the democracy were

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES THE PAST
YEAR.

lean.
The radicals have resorted TO q character.
fstic e1pedient for misleading the public as
to the current expenditures Of the govern
ment. They first omit to appropriate suth
cicnt sum to meet the expenditures the past
year, aud then call on the commissioner OF
revenue, Wells, to testify to the amount dp-
Dropriated for that purpose And this when
every school boy in politics knows, Or ought
to know, that the very first act of congress
after the presidential election will be the
passage of huge appropriation bill, to meet
Deficiencies.
This same commissioner Wells further
testfes that the disbursements from the
treasury on account of the freedmen's bu.
reau law, since July Of last year, have been
but between three and four million of dollars.
These are the actual expenses paid from
the treasury already, and include no part Of
the accounts yet remaining unsettled.
Commissioner Wells further alleges that
the expenses contingent upon the acts Of re
construction, since July of last year, are
something less than two million dollars
not including the account tor freedmen bu'
reau, or expenses not yet audited and set.
tied.
These sums are Of themselves sufficient to
condemn congress and its policy. Over
FIVE millions nearly half a million every
mouth--have actually been drawn from the
treasury the past twelve months to run the
freedmen's bureau and the reconstruction
schemes, AMI nearly every dollar Of this
money, mostly taken from northern taxpay'
ers, has been divided among the politi.
cal emissaries Of congress in the southern
states.
But this IS not the worst. The expenses
OF the southern standing army are not lnclu
ded in either Of the items above piyen.-
The whole expenses Of the army the past
year, actually paid from the treasury. ore
given BY commissioner Wells at more than
one hundred aud twenty.three millions
and over ffty-six millions of these one hun.
dred and twenty.three millions are confessed
to have been paid out Of The "ord;nsrv ex.
Benses" of the army!
In the same statement the Commissioner
tells US that the receipts of the government
the past fiscal year hare erceeded four byn.
dred million dollars, nearly all of which ha,
been voted away on one project and anoth
err. And the commissioner fails to state tina,
these four hundred million dollars-eQusl 10
to about one hundred dollars to every voter
in the UnioR---ineludes but small proper
ton of the total amount directly and indi
rectly extOrted from the people under tn,

collecting money "fOr the support Of tn,

The statement in one OF our radical
exchanges that Gen. Singleton twas dis
unionist during the wBr aud is now opposed
to paying the public debt" is not true. He
was never, at any time. disuuonist. He
did not believe that the war would result in
preserving the Union. Was he not right
When the war had closed, did not the radi.
cal leaders declare that eleven states had
succeeded in getting out of the Union ?
Nor is he now opposed to paying the public

good enough for the soldier the soldiers
