.THE N0BLEST ROMAN OF THEM
slls4 4siL ALL"

Hon. VIM. Mungen, Al. c took
occasion on the floor of the House, 9
few days since, to express himself
freely and unreserredly with regard
to the public debt of the country
Contrary to the usual Democratic
precedents he declared himself open
ly in favor of directrepHdiation. He
was followed by Brooks and Cox, ol
New York, Woodward, of Pennsyl-
vanis, and other Eastern Democrats,
who sought to clear the skirts ol
their party OF odium-which the
American will ever attaca to any
proposition to act in bad faith towards
the creditors of the government
The Democracy, both in and out OF
Congress, we're dreadfully exercised
because William chose to blurt out
his real feelings, and gave evidence
Of having profted by long contact
with the school of politicians OF
which his party is made up. His
former friends here were particularly
severe on him, and, in this connec-
ton, we wish TO suggest to his Dem
ocratic constituency, that it is a very
grave breach of etiquette to intimate
that gentleman was drunk. as such
an insinuation is somewhat deleteri-
GUS to his character for sobriety.--
Mr.. Mungen simply proposed to car
ry out the legitimate teachings of his
party. and he stands now head and
shoulders above all of them, except,
perhaps, Brick Pomeroy, in all that
constitutes 8 fuil-fedged, latter-day
Democrat. True, they do not place
to the lips of the masses the bare,
bitter pill of repudiation, but sugar
coat it with such propositions as the
payment of the debt in greenbacks,
taxation of the bonds, &c. These
propositions, while equally odious
with that proposed by Mr.. Mungen,
are not equally honest, because they
are not 30 open. Mr.. Mungen pro-
poses to break the contrsct made by
the government with its creditors, by
totally ignoring the contract. Those
who now denounce him have pro-
posed to yiolate their contract by
taxing property which the govern
ment has specifically exempted from
taxation-snd which exemption was
held out to the people by the agents
of the government as an inducement
to invest their capital in this species
Of property. Both are propositions
to repudiate-the only difference be-
ing in the honesty of their avowal,
and in this particular Mr.. Mungen
has the advantage of those who de-
nounce him. Nor Is the Hon. Will
liam alone in his theory. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer intimates that the
Democracy of the West are not near
so willing to pay as Woodward,
Brooks, ct. al-, would have us believe.
The Conansoner, also, which may be
considered the organ of the Western
and Southern Democracy, endorses
all Mr.. Mungen says, and has only
for the cewardice of those
who went back on him.

The leopard may change his spots
and the Ethiope his skin! AS an
evidence, g bill has been introduced
into the Kentucky Legislature to
encourage emigration. Considering
the selfishness and old fogyism OF
that State, the above may be consid-
cred an immense stride in reform
Her officials, and a great majority of
her people, have. for the past few
years, been indulging in the innocent
psstime of prosecuting the negroes
and abusing the Federal government,
while the States south Of her have
steadily advanced by inviting and
fostering emigration. There is yet
hopes for Kentucky, ii she will act
upon this bill and extend the hands
of welcome to all who may seek a
home within her borders.

CHRISTMAS.

Ere another issue of the JEFFER-
soNIAN reaches our readers, Christ
mas will have come and gone and we
shall be almost treading On the boun-
daries of the New Year. We have
reason to congratulate ourselves, as
q people, at each recurring holiday,
that the sweep of years is carrying
with it reform and progress. As a
nation, we are at peace with the
world, and we are fast recovering
from the evils entsiled upon us by
the late civil war. Last Christmas
we had all these blessings, but we
also had-Andrew Johnson. He has
now retired TO private life. Let US
be thankful. In conclusion, we wish
one and all merry Christmas.
The Kenton Democrat is exceed
ingly terrible on Mr.. Mungen for his
vote to table Ingersoll's bill for the
issue of an additional batch of green
backs. 1t calls upon him to resign
and allow his constituents to send a
man to Congress who will represent
them. Mungen's later exhibition of
himself, in the role of a repudiator,
will doubtless cover q multitude OF
sins in the eyes OF bis constituents /;
for we very much misjudge them if a
greater portion of them are not as
much in favor of reputation as their
representative, however much they
may protest to the contrary. Men
sometimes teach themselves to enter
tain opinions which they are ashamed
to confess, even to their own con
sciences, and there is, down deep in
the Democratic heart, a hatred of the
new regime Of freedom inaugurated
by the late civil war, which will stop
short of nothing, however desperate,
that will cast discredit upon the cause
or the men who have been instrumen-
tai in pushing it onward. There are
in the Democratic ranks, especially
in the West, a large number who do
not hesitate to espouse the principle
advanced by Mr.. Mungen. All they
want is q leader to make themselves
felt in the councils of their party
We are of the opinion that MIR. Mum
gems constituents will forgive him
and we suggest to Democratic jour
mails to "draw it mild" as the less
they say now the less they will have
to swallow when the majority of their
party in the West raise the banner of
repudiation.

Second Marriages.

Custom tolerates this abominable
social evil, if it.does not approve ii.
1t cannot do less, vixen the lax state OF
public morality, makes divorces even
not only possible, but easy of accom-
plishnlent Marriage by many is no
longer regarded as q divine inst:tu-
ton, but simpty,a an alliance to be en-
tered into, and. dissolved, at the ca
prices of folly, lust, or convenience. ~

for all eternity. A plurality of wives
or husla DIS, in the world TO come,
must excite the same horror which il
does iu all right minded persons when
such a states.Of things is contemplated
here. In this light 1 view it, and ]
cannot divest the idea from my mine
that the contraction of more than on
marriage by the same person is no les,
than a kind of polygany. .s-
% How agonizing and terrible it must
be to a det oted and tender wife when
separated from her partner, in the hal
cyon days of their welded life, after
waiting many long years in the spirit
land for the dear one lett behind, to,
find perhaps two or three later wives
of her husband sent TO her before his
arrival ; and when he at length comes,
to have her claim disputed, or at least
receive only a moiety of that whic!
her priority should claim as a while.
Aside from this there are other cnn-
siderations connected with second MAJ !.
riages winch are not less repeIling.
First marriages are usual y contract
ed when youth, love and romance &c

sacredness which no later periods a

out its best and purest obligations up

lions of the kind are in comparison
only ridiculous burlesques upon thu
institution of marriage. The hear,
can never yield but to one the divine
glow which distills the true. elixero
