Totals,

The summing up of these figures shows that the
fifteen democratic States including. South Caro-
lima, have debt of S213, POS $50, not including
several years accrued and unpaid interest, while
all the other States haye debt of 10000. 900,
of which $s7l OO9 900 are due by Ohio, New York.
Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Walkers plan is that Congress shall by act
Of legislation assume all this debt, issuing nation
al bonds therefor, and pay the interest thereon an
nually. In other words that over two thirds Of
the people, who owe less than one-third of the
State debts, shall change position; shall assume
the payment of two-thirds of the State debts now
owned by less than one third of the people.
Gov. Walker elected to Congress and the prob
able Speaker of the House Of Representatives,
will lose no time in presenting his plan, whereby
the indebtedness of all the fifteen Democratic
States will be sponged out, and its payment made
over to the Republican States. These Republican
States now pay three fourths of the national taxa
alton, and have been taxing themselves for years
to pay off their own State debts. The transfer 10

States, in addition to the cost of the war, already
paid, and three-fourths of what remains to be paid,

retribution for the war itself.
Gov. Walker, in his message to the Virginia Legis
lature points significantly to the fact that all that
is required to carry this scheme through is ma
jority in Congress. The Democrats, it is true,
have not majority in the Senate, and cannot com
pei the passage of this measure at this time; but
it is one of the measures which they propose to
20 into the campaign of 1876, and
secure of the 1870 votes of the Dem
ocratic States, they expect, with their
promise to relieve Ohio, New York, Indiana, and
perhaps Pennsylvania of all their dcbts to win the
Electoral votes required to give them majority.
Should the Democrats elect their President in 1876
there would of necessity be such change in the
Senate that the party having both Houses Of Con-
gress and the Executive, will not hesitate to adopt
this measure, to which the Southern States all
look hopefully for deliverance at the expense Of
the North. The assumption Of the debts of these
ex-Rebel States is one Of the many perils which
threaten the nation in case of return Of the Dem.
ocratic party to power.

The contingent debt is in the form of State in

States will have eventually to pay. Here is a di-
rect bid for the support of these States, at the
next election, which owe large debts, and OF
which, it is assumed, the people Of such States
would be glad to get rid Il is singular that the
democratic party is in majority in those States
which are thus heavily in debt This table of in
debtedness was made up in February, 1873, since
which time many Of the Northern States have re-
dnced their liabilities, while in the Southern
States the debts have been increased by two years
Of accrued and unpaid interest. We divide this
table into three parts: /. Those States which
are democratic or could be induced to vote for the
party that would relieve them of their debts. 2.
The republican States. 3. Those which the
democrats think debatable We give, from
Walkers table, the whole debt Of each State less
