DEMOCRATIC ECONoMy

One of our Western exchanges
heads an editorial article "Demo-
cratic Economy" and goes on to
say: Democracy quadrupled the
debt in four years under Polk,
doubled it in two years of peace
that followed the close of the Mex
lean war; trebled it in the four years
of peace under James Buchanan,
ending its rule with bankrupting
the treasury, and paying twelve per
cent. interest for the few thousands
it finally succeeded in borrowing as
special favor, when it wanted mil
lions. And now it wants the con-
troll of the treasury to do the same
thing over again. Vote it to them,
you who want taxation reduced"

YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.

The young men of the loyal north
will, when they properly consider
the political questions of the pres
ent, unhesitatingly cast their votes
and lend their efforts for the election
of Grant and Wilson. In 1856 when
the Republican party first sprang
into existence, the young men were
the first to take the field and carry
it forward to its grand success. In
1860, they came nobly to the sup
port of Abraham Lincoln and wrest-
ed the government out of the hands
of its enemies. In 1864, their in
fuence upheld his administration
and retained him in the position he
had filled with so much honor and
credit. In 1868, they enthusiastic
ally placed in the White House, as
a just tribute of respect. the man
who led them on to victory on many
hard fought field. And it is not
probable or possible that in 1872,
that they will fail to rally again to
his support. On the contrary they
are just as ready to recognize the
ability with which President Grant
has officered the government as with
which he commanded the army.
Thousands of young men will come
to the front this year with this first
glorious privilege of an American
citizen-the right to vote. Young
men, be careful that you vote right,
let not this most sacred privilege be
desecrated' by voting for one who is
neither worthy or deserving of your
patronage. Never place your trust
in the hands of a man who has sud-
denly and without pretext, surren-
dered his principles and honor to
life long foe for the chance of office.
One who is traitor to his princi-
piles, Is q traitor to his honor--his
integrity-his moral fitness, and is
not to be trusted.
Notwithstanding that at the close
of the war the government was
deeply indebted and the southern
states racked and in chaotic state,
through the wise policy of Presi-
dent Grant, the country was not on
ly saved a fin ancial crisis, and a
Reputation of the national debt,
but that debt has been reduced one
tenth of the whole amount, the
country is prosperous and happy,
and the south has beer restored to
the Union and is once more abound
ing in peace and plenty. These
incontrovertible facts our reading
and thinking young men are prompt
to acknowledge and will readily
recognize the wisdom and ability
that has characterized the present
administration and made it worthy
of their support and franchise.
Young men to the front!

the letter of Senator Sumner. The
meeting was addressed by Rev.
Mr.. Brayles, Major Haw and ]. S.
Hinton (colored elector for the
State at large), Rev. r. McCarry
and others. The following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, The people of color of
the United States are advised by
the Hon. Charles Sumner to aban

Republicans, and to cast their votes
at the coming election for a new
party, composed chiefly of the old
Democracy, reinforced by sundry
deserters from the Republicans;
therefore,
ResOlUed, That our votes are our
own, and that for the proper use of
the franchise conferred upon us we
are responsible only to God and our
country ,and cannot consent to yield
them up at the dictation ofany man
no matter how great his services to
our race in the past may have been.
RESOLVED, That we can never for
get our obligations to the Republi-
can party, the great party of eman-
cipation and enfranchisement, and
to the unconquerable soldier whose
resolution and skill led the armies
OF the country to final and complete
triumph.
Resolved, That we will adhere to
the Republican party with our Judge
ment and hearts, and will do every
thing in our power to secure the
election of Ulysses S. Grant and
Henry Wilson.

GERMAN VOTERS DECIDING FOR
THEMSELVES.

The efforts OF SchurZ and Others
to ALLEVIATE the German Republicans,
and secure their votes for Greeley
and the Democracy, are not only ut
terly futile, but are met with con-
tempt by those most familiar with
the sentiment of our German citi-
zens. The "German-American
United Association of the United
States" with its headquarters in
New York, and representing the
German Republicans of all the prin-
cipal cities in the country, has just
issued a circular expressive of the
real sentiment of the majority
of German voters. This circular
emphatically declares that the Re-
publican party rescued the country
when the Democracy plunged it into
secession and rebellion; achieved
the most glorious victory of the
century by abolishing slavery, and
granting equal rights and peace to
all; introduced civil service reform,
adopted the eight-hour system of
labor In the public service, mag
unanimously treated the rebels and
secured the adoption of those no.
BILE enactments, the Civil rights and
Amnesty bills. In word, the Dem
ocrats comprising this association
regard the Republican party as the
representative of true Democratic
doctrine, and are too intelligent to
be swayed from their honest convic-
tions. They know Horace Greeley,
are familiar with his prejudices
against their national customs, and
cannot forget the insults which he
has heaped upon them. The Ger
man party is not a commodity, to
be bought and sold. So long as the
Republican party is true to itself,
and sets its candidates and it's prin-
ciples fairly before the German vo-
tiers of the country, it can count up
on their united support. Not even
so specious a pleader as Schurz can
deceive or wheedle the German
people. They understand him quite
as well as they understand Greeley.
They can distinguish between the
statesman of honorable impulse and
noble purpose, aiming to reform
abuses and purify politics, and the
subtle partisan who depends upon
his oratory and sophistry to deceive
the people in order to indulge his
hatred against Grant, and CRAFTY
his personal ambition. A leading
German editor in st, Louis, in crit
icising his late speech in that city,
exposes his hypocrisy and inconsis-
tency, and concludes with this en-
phatic declaration:
''But then the people, and espec-
tally the German American people,
will not suffer themselves to be de-
ceived by sophistical and high
sounding oratory. The German
press, without regard to party, even
journals which up to this time had |
high regard for the Senator,are now
almost unanimous in the opinion
hat Schurz has fallen, deeply fallen.
Schurz may possibly succeed in his
but he has certainly lost
hat which it will be hard for him to
'egain-namely, the respect and

What H. G.. Knoacs about prerent-
ing President Lincoln's reelection.
"The practical question, then, is
this: Has Mr.. Lincoln proved so
transcendently able and admirable a
President that all consideration of
the merits, abilities, and services OF
Others should be postponed or for
borne in favor of his reelection?
This is a question whereon, pending
the definite selection OF our candl-
dates, there should be the utmost
freedom of opinion and expression.
We answer it In the negative. Heart
lily agreeing that Mr.. Lincoln has
done well, we do not regard it as at
all demonstrated that Gov. Chase,
Gen. Fremont, Gen. Butler, or Gen.
Grant cannot do as well. We free
ly admit Mr.. Lincoln's merits, but
we insist that they are not such as
to eclipse and obscure those of all
the statesmen and soldiers who have
aided in he great work of saving the
country from disruption and over
throw" - Tribune, February 90,

Seeking Politicians.
Incredible as it might seem, the
fact is but too apparent, that there
are men who aspire to be called
Statesmen, whose love of country
and regard for justice and truth are
subordinate to their desire for po-

fishes of office, and who do not
scruple to put in jeopardy the Peace
of the World, if they thereby pro-
mote their selfish and personal ends. !"
