The 50, SOC, 600. 900 Of national debt now out
standing and to bc paid, is but small part OF
the actual price paid and to be paid by the Amer
lean people for having tolerated the orsaniI-
alton known az the democratic party. That
party Is responsible for every precious life lost
in the war Of the rebellion for all the sacrifices
made necessary and all the suffering caused
thereby for every dollar heretofore raised and
paid for the burden now resting upon the shoul-
dcrs OF our people. II Is vain for that party to
attempt TO shirk this dreadful responsibility or
the inflmy which necessarily attaches thereto.
But Cor the democratic party south and their
coppcrheld allies north, there had been no war
and consequently no debt. But there was such
party South and such allies North, and we
have hal war, and one result thereof Is the
debt represented by the figures at the commence
ment Of this article. And to pay this debt the
people are annually buriened with taxation both
direct and indirect. No amount Of priyation
caused by the payment Of these taxes will divert
the attention Of the people from the guilty su-
thors Of their trouble. This generation knows
by observation and succeeding generations will
be taught by impartial history that the national
debt rs also large portion Of State and town
debts, were caused directly by the treason and
disloyalty Of the democratic party.
Mcssrs. Coppcrhea,l-, the least that you can
do is to bear your portion o: the burden grace
fully and not keep calling the attention Of the
loyal people to your former wiekcdness, by I'M
necessary bowling. 1.-THE loyal people who are
not responsible, try to be patient under the ter
rbe burlen which you have imposed upon
them, surely you ought not to add to their SUI
ferings by cowarily winnings.
II the rich are growing richer, and the poor
poorer, you arc the guilty cause thereof
flour commerce is driven from the ocean, you
are the party to blame.
Ifeyerything the poor man eats and wears
commands higher price than before your war,
keep quiet les, the curses Of the poor man fall
upon and blast YOU Ifstamp tax and Income
tax and excise duties meet you at every turn,
keep cool and rcleem yourself as far forth as
possible by quietly paying your proportion with
as little aio as possible. Only the densely stu
Md man calls constant attention to his past
crimes by complaining Of the inconyiences which
they may have Occasioned his innocent neigh |

MARRIAGE RxTRAoRDISARY.- Some time
since well-known young gentleman appeared
ut one of our Metropolitan churches with very
beautiful young lady, and invoking the services
Of the minister. was Immediately united to her
in marriage. The lady appeared deeply agita-
ted, and there was stern determination wish
bic on the countenance Of the YOUTH pale,
angry face, evincing anything but Joy In the
nuptials. As soon rs the ceremony was con.
cluded, the man turned to the lady with the re-
mark, al have kept my promise now-you are
married to me; but III never look on your face
again. HrHr
There was q frantic appeal In the girls ac-
tons and tears; she begged, implored him 10
recall his words--pomiscd him some wild things
better LEFT unprinted-and then sank fainting TO
the floor. The man turned on his heel and quilt
ted the apartment
The simple relation Of facts look like the col
oring Of romance, yet are they true In every
particular. When Il is further stated that the
parties are Of high social position, have numcr-
Gus relations. and that they were utterly unat-
tended, the mystery will appear more strange
Their friends have tried vainly TO reconcile
the matter. An obstinate silence greats every
appeal; and she. II indeed she can, refuses any
cIplanation.-.E o. Pieayne.
