always fail to see things az he does.
Now have nice scheme that, II but partially
carried out viii enable rs to defy the next admin

Facts for the Thoughtful.

THE paternity of this article is not
known to US; we found it aflOat. There
is no sophistry about it, but there is
much to interest the thoughtful mind,
more especially of the young workers Of
the country:
"The Republican party has created a
gigantic aristOcraCy based, on your Ia
Dor, on bonds given and made exempt
from taxation. These bonds are simply
your notes. They must be paid from
your earnings. To-day y-tO-mOrrOw-n
week-next mOnth--neXt year--for years
and years to come, you, young men all
the while growing older, must work to
redeem these notes which are your
claims binding you to tOil-mOrtgages
on your labor.
When the war began these notes did
not exist. Under the laws of America
they cannot legally exist as created for
they bring wealth to those who hold
them and are not taxed. The Republic
cans legislated the power to create such
notes and called them bonds; sold them
for half their face; declared them ex-
empt from taxation ; declared those who
hold them shall be exempt from taxa
ton; declared that you, young men,

interest On those notes in gold, and, in
time, pay the principal.
If you have a little farm, or team, or
trade, or piece of property, worth one
thousand dollars, on it you must pav
taxes. This is right. If arich man has
a million of dollars invested in bonds.
your notes, which he says you must pay,
he pays no taxes. He locks his bonds
in his safe, rides at his ease, and YOU
pay the taxes; pay him interest in gold:
pay the principal; work hard and live
poor, while he does nothing aud grows
richer, in time dies and leaves his child
rem the very dollars you have earned,
which should have benefited and made
your children the equals of his children.
Your labor, under Republican laws,
enricheS the aTistOcrat who produces
nothing. He does no wOrk-the law
cOmpels you to support him. The car
pet on his floors, the books i'm his libra
Ty, the pictures on his walls, the horses
he drives, the carriage he rides in, the
watch he sports, the diamonds on the
neck Of his wife, the silks OF her body,
tae lace next her flesh, the beautiful
dresses of his children, you young men
who work are paying for. Your child
rem go with bare feet; his with warm
| stockings and pretty coats. Your wife
may wear n Chemisette OfcOurse linen or
cotton, his wife wears laces. You eat

| You have one coarse tableclOth, he half
a dozen fine ones. You pay for these
| lUXuTies, he does not.
! If you are content with this inequali-
ty of taxation, if you are willing to be
robbed to support the rich; if you are
willing to work, not to beautify your
own homes, but the homes of the bond

sunk in; n phenomenon which has very
naturally Occasioned a good deal of specI-
latiOn in the press. One Of the Journals

there is nothing unusual i'm it, and goes

of an immense tract of country on the

VindIcaItOn of Democracy.

DURING LinCOln's reign of terror, IA
naticism and superabundant loyalty,
there were Democrats who stood bold,
true, earnest, and OutspOken in their
defense of the Constitutional the prin-
ciples of liberty-Of the Tight--Of freedom
of speech and of the press. Those men
were called "COpperheads'-d
as traitOrs-in thousands of instances in
the North mObbed, insuIted, driven from
their homes, OstTaciZCd in business, and
thrust into the bastiles of the land at the
tinkling of Stewards bell, there to re-
main till reason had deserted its throne,
till the vengeance of some petty military
strap had been satisfied, or till the mon
ey of friends could purchase their libCr-
alton. The men who thus stood honest
and earnest were denounced as traitors,
while the trucking, time-seTving poll
ticians, with no regard for principle
working solely for interest, becoming
loyal in exact proportion as they fOrsOOk
the Tight-prOved recrcant to the trusts
repOsed in them, or indOTscd that which
they kIicW to be wrong, corrupt, and
monstrously infamous.

in GalCUa, i'm the State of Illinois, two
mCn-twO brave, unyielding patriots

Johnson, were charged with dislOyaIty,
arrested, and inCarccrated in prison, at
the instigatiOn of E. b. Washburnc, pres
ent Minister to France, J. r. Jones pres
cnt Minister to Belgium, and several
other blatant loud-mouthcd, hypocritf-
cal Republican placc-hUntrrs.
The case of johnson is one of peculiar
interest, proving, as it does, that truth
crushed 10 earth will raise again, and
that he who is brave i'm defense of his
principles will sooner or later triumph,
and bring to his feet the cOwardly mis-
crcants who sought To wrong him. Mr..
johnson was, at the time Of his arrest,
as he is now, one of the Clearest-headed
and ahlcSt lawyers of the country; q
bold, determined, thoughtful man, who,
knowing his rights, had the pluck and
honesty tudctcnd and maintain them.
He spoke against the conduct of the
war; no denounced Lincoln as tyrunt.
and murderer and one acting beyond the
bounds Of the Constitution, not for the
good Of the country, but for partisan
purposes. He spoke earnestly against
the extravaganza and corruption of the
