INCREASE OF TUE NATIONAL DEBT
From June to July the national debt rose
from 8, 007 ,S27 ,S42 to $1,000, SsS, 1872,
being an increase Of more than .ffty-three
millions OF dollars in one mOnth.-NeE
York Herald.
This ia the reason, probably, why the
June statement Of the operations and con
dition Of the Treasury we're not published
on the FIRST of July. Taxpayers look a.
the figures, Fify-three millions increase
of the debt in one month, or at the rate Of
nearly two millions adayl Notwithstahd-
ing the immense resources of the govern
ment, the Radicals who have il in charge,
says the Indianapolis Sentinel are increas-
ing instead Of diminishing the burdens Of
the people. The gold interest alone upon
this increase of the public debt is over
three millions year. If the debt con-
tinues to increase at the rate it did last
month, it will make Reputation probable.
Can even bondhoIders longer place any
confidence in a party whose financial man
agement must dePreeiate il not ruin the
public credit? A change in the adminis-
tration of our public affairs is imperatiEely
demanded by both pablic aad private
interests, for no interest can prosper as long
as the party in power controls the deslinieB
fthe country. Think of it Fifty-three
millions increase of the public debt in one
month, when We are at peace with the
whole world. How much longer will the
people stand the costly luxury Of Radical
rule?

THE CoRN DROPS OF THE soUrH.

From a close scrutiny of our exchanges
in the cotton States, we are inclined to be-
. lieve the yield Of the corn. crop will be
much better than it was feared q short
time ago, it would be- Ina few localities
the drought has seriouly injured the
Yield Much the larger portion, however,
has had rain in time to save the crop, and
the prospect is good for abundance Of corn
and to spare. On the whole, we believe
the cotton States will make enough TO sup
ply farm wants. For where one farmer
may be a little short, others will have a
surplus with which to supply his wants,
So good is the prospects of the growing
crops in many portions OF Georgia and
Alabama, country corn is now selling at
prices ranging from eighty cents TO one
dollar per bushel. We can hear of no sec
ton that has suffered SO much as the imme-
diate vicinity of this city, and even here
from the large amount planted, most OF
the farmers will make enough for their own
consumption. as'
In Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Texas, the corn crop is represented to be
fine, and bundance was planted. -
We have no drought accounts from Ten
nessee, Kentucky, or other Western States.
We must conclude then, there will be an
abundance Of corn made and that the
price of this staff of life for man and beast,
must rule low after the new crop comes
in. a.- ~

A LEAF FROM GRANTS PRIVATE
HISTORY.

The Galena Democrat, Published at the
home of General Grant, thus dishes up a
page of private history, which is worth
reading and remembering Just at this
time: (
eve have published several extract 3
from leading journals wherein the intern
perate habits of General Grant are criticised
pretty severely. We do this to show our
people that others are at length finding out
what every body hereaboTts, who know any
thing about the General, have known all
along that he has for many years, except
at brief intervals far between, been one Of
the most besotted drunkards.
ave have RETAINED from speaking of
this matter heretofore, and would not do 50
now if we thought it would injure his pros
poets as the JacObin candidate TO have il

moral ideas, and as he is, Of all others

the protection Of the loyal men at the polls.
There were no such men outside Of he'll as
the Rebels, and the only way to deal sith
them was to crush them" RI aesre-u Iia .
While General Grant appeals to popu
lar favor with the false cry Of Tet ms

whose bidding he follows, whose princi~
pies he accepts, and whose instrument he

negro for vengeance and slaughter. He
cries peace, when there is not only no
peace, but when every sign in the horizon
is marked with the prestaga of terrible
civil war Let us not deceive ourselves
with deiusive expectations,
Radicalism has staked its all on this
contest, and it will employ any means,
however desperate, to achieve success,
These preparations, and this partisan
Legislation, all admit fear of popular
condemnation. Their maxim is rule or
ruin Bloated with the enormous spoils
of former victories, they cling to power
with the tenacity of death struggle,
and with the consciousness Of deserved
defeat. ssa

warned by these serious indications, and
that the people should prepare to divert

arrangement of commerce and business
sure to follow. We cannot sustain this
vast standing army, navy, Freedmen's
Bureau, corrupt subsidies, land grants
railroad jobs and venal legislation, which
have created SO gigantic debt, and are
daily consuming the best resources Of
the nation. The same men who have
corruptly enriched themselves at the pub
lie expense, who have squandered huns
dreds of millions for partisan objects,
who have increased taxation, who have
built up huge monopilies, who have OPP
pressed labor, who have invented one
currency for the people and the pension
ers, and another for the bondholders,
who have refused protection to American
citizens, who have plundered the treasury
by special legislation, and who have pre-
vented union and harmony-these men
have now the ahdacity TO ask for a new
lease of power after eight years of mis-
rule, such as was never witnessed be-
fore, and with prodigality at which the
experience of all history stands aghast.
Louis Napoleon declared to the world,
the Empire is peace, and his declarar
ton was followed by war. His Ministers
now proclaim peace, and a million of
men are equipped for war. Gen. Grant
says "let us have peace, and Congress

of war" Beware Of peace on the lips,

EHE NEW YORK HERAID AS a
PROPHEr.
The Radicals have laid a great deal of
stress upon the prediction by the New York
Herala Of the defeat of Seymour. The
New York World has been ransscking the
files Of the Herald to show (ss it does by
published extracts) that it predicted the
defeat of Polk and Taylor, the success Of
Scott, and the defeat of Buchanan and
Lincoln. Here are some specimens;
THE HERALD PREDICTS THE DEFEAT OF
PRESIDENT POLK.
OF the nomination of Mr.. Polk we hard
ly know how to speak seriously. A more
ridiculous, contemplate, and lOrlorn can
didate was never put forth by any party.
The singular result of all these laugha-

THE HERALD PREDICTS THE DEFEAT OF
PRESIDENT TAYLOR.
"Th,Te is every probability that General
Taylor will be defeated in November, and
that G zen. Cass will most likely be the Sue
cessfuI candidate, as Mr.. Polk was four
years ago."-Ne,p York Herald, Sept. 8,
1S48. "
THE HERALD PREDICTS THE DEFEAT OF
PRESIDENT PIERCE.
From an article entitled General Scott
-prosnef4 of his Nomination and Elec-
ton - "Finally, as General Scott is to be
the Wing candidate upon General Taylor's
platform, the Democrats might as well pre-
pare to meet him. They will get no other
candidate from the Wings, and they will
find no other, as parties now stand, 30 hard
10 beat. In a word, General Scott will be
nominated, and without letters, promises,
principles, or pledges, he may be elected"
Neg York Herald, Mag IL, 1852.
THE HERALD PREDICTS THE DEFEAT OF
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.
This day week, on Tuesday, 18th inst,
we are to have in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana those preliminary battles against
the demoralized Democracy which are des-
tined to eliminate in a regular Waterloo
defeat to Mr.. Buchanan on the great day in
November. There is, in other words, an
omiBons rolling of popular thunder along
the whole Western horizon, which indicates
IN the October elections a heavier Fremont
tornado than that which has recently swept
over the Eastern frontier States of Maine,
etc.-Nep York Herald, Oct. z, 1856.

Northern Abolilionists, who hoped TO tri-
umph with him, is oertain.-Ne'o York

"The die is cast" The Democratic Con
vention has decided that our next President
shall be General Grant. Grant
and Colfax against such ticket will sweep
the country from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific,

the ground that they were. itinerants and not
representatives ofthe State. Mr.. Ross very

to one of the gentlemen because he was a
