your Indebtedness, and dive into your

If there be any one among you-one

consider yourself u gentleman. If the
rest wish to know why we dun them, this
is our answer Not that we care about
ourselves but our creditors do. Would
YOU rather that we went to goal, and you
go free, than pay your debts and keep US
moving? As we agreed, we had worked
for YOU; as we contracted, we have fur
nishcd the paper to you; but as you
don pay US, we dun you. There are
agreements for job work, contracts for
subscriptions, promises for long credit,
and duns for deferred payments.

One Begets the other.

We are indebted to the St. Joseph
Union for calling attention to the follow
ing singular frank acknowledgement by
the Louisville Courier .Jounak paper
long known as a Democratic organ, but
of recent years manifestinS great deal
Of independence aud candor as we'll as
ability, which says:
The great instrumentality through
which Radicaiism takes place and power
is mind with a little assistance from
money the great instrumentalitv
through which Democracy attans the
same end is ignorance Wherever Rad
icalism prevails there Learning lifts her
classic head, and from her ambrosial
locks scatters intellectual light and lowell
ness abroad wherever Democracy OBJ
tains foothold, there Ignorance erects
her shrines and affairs, before which her
blind and ragged votarles PROSTATE
themselves in the dust and sing peans
in her praise 1t is not strange, then,
that the Democrat who is true to his
principles and his party never approach
es a school house without lnstlnctlvely
feeling in his pockets to see IT he has
such thing as box Of matches or can
of nitro giycerine. 1t is to the Demos
cratic party the English poet refers
when he tells US that where ignorance
is bliss it is folly to be wise.
We wonder whether the Union has
not perpetrated some joke on the Cour:
Ter in this extract. But if not, it must
be admitted to be the most candid con-
fession ever yet put on record of the
methods by which Democracy of the
old fashioned 'brass-mounted' sort
seeks to keen itself alive.
Quite as candid was the confession of a
Democrat at Jefferson City, the other
day, who. converslng about the disputed
political status of member from one of
the sparsely settled counties, said, They
have no schools down there, and he
must be Democrat. 1t was unanl
mously voted that the point was well
taken.-DeD,0crdt

Alexander Mitchell Prest. of the St.
Paul r. r has said tiht railway com

by the size of the present road has to
be built.
A prominent and influential railway
r,aa from Milwaukee remarked at the
National, few days since that an indie
pendent road from Milwaukee to Chicago

The Chicago Post says the St. Paul
Railway Co is about to build a line from
from Milwaukee to run about II miles
west Of the present line.
Now let the Wisconsin Central tlate
2. w. & s. Railway, accept the propo
sition of the Milwaukee and Northern
road to connect at Doty Island within one
year. and ergo secure a competing rail
road to Chicago. In their proposition
we do not understand they do not ask

WE quote fr, IN the Tennessee Tribune,

colored men and women have emigrated
and are preparing to emigrate, from that
State. Robbery, maltreatment, and
murder forces them to take this painful
step.

will find a Democratic triumph poor
