THE LESSONS OF WAR.

Of the gambler burn in his pocket until

brings soon takes wing and flies away.
Such has notably been the fate of the
milliards Germany wrung from France
in 1870. The Fatherland is now bank
rupt and ruined, while France is rich,
prosperous and progressive. Sucn
promises to be the case, respectively,
with the North and South.
The end of the war saw the South ap-
parently ruined. 1t had a loss OF two
hundred thousand lives, Of four years OF
labor, and of nearly three thousand mil
lion dollars to bear; the North at the
same time was richer by as many thou
sands Of millions as the South had lost

NOT OUR DEMOCRACY.

Gen. George b. McClelland is re-
ported as advocating an increase Of the
standing army to fifty thousand men.
We beg to dissent from and protest
against any such proposition. It Is alto
gether foreign to the cardinal policy and
principles of the Democratic party.
Large standing armies have always been
Justly regarded and denounced as alien
to the spirit of true Democracy by all the
venerated apostles of that party and by
the achievers and founders Of our indie
pendence and republican system Of
government.
There has been no experience since to
modify this sentiment and reconcile the
people to an institution which is only
adapted to and required by despotic
governments IL this increase is sup
ported with view OF converting our
army into q police, to be employed, as
| it recently was, to enforce law and or
der within the States, to suppress mobs,
ETC., then is our opposition to it made
still stronger and more earnest, as we
regard such use of the soldiers of the
| national government as a gross perveI-
sion of the constitutional provision,
which authorizes the establishment Of
OF regular army one, too, fraught with
great danger to the liberties Of the peo
pie, and with the most injurious and
disorganizing consequences to the
States, whose power and duty to main
tain order and enforce their own laws
are ample. and who ought never to sur
render such power sor be deprived Of
the same through any act or interven-
ton of the Federal government. When
q State confesses her inability to exer-
else this power and discharge this duty
she ought to be RENTED to territorial
condition.
We trust that the National Democracy
will stand solid against any proposition
to enlarge the regular army; indeed,
that they will support every measure
looking to the reduction of the heavy
costs of maintaining SO extravaganza a
corps Of generals and other titled officers
who make up the fearful bill Of costs to
which this impoverished people and
debt ridden government are subjected.
Let us go without this military pomp
and circumstance, and Danish this I'M
republican admiration for epaulettes
and military parade and show, this wor-
ship of shoulder straps and awe of
high titles and war prestige, so foreign
to the character and inconsistent with
the habits and duties Of a republican
people.
