A few more such victories for the De- !
mOcraey as that which they are exulting
over in Maineand there will be no tail for
the Southern Democracy to wag.
The Democracy are rejoicing that about
two-thirds of their followers in Maine
have left, and that their large and re-
spectacle minority has been reduced to a
little insignificant faction.
Without confidence in the money that
circulates there can be no stability in
business, without stability there can be no
prosperity, and without prosperity there
be no profitable employment of the masses.
Pendleton in 1862: ''I firmly believe
that the government can not maintain it
self against the shock of the accumulated
and manifold dangers which follow inev-.
itably closely in the wake of an illegal,
unsound and deprecated currency"
1t is proposed that the rif1e-clubs of the
South sell their arms and ammunition and
expend the proceeds in aid of their sIlf-
fering fellow citizens, and that the time
wasted in drilling and military exercises
be devoted to nursing the sick.-Neao Re

When political party persitently Ia
: bors through its leading representatives
/ in authority to cripple the military arm
, of the Government-already reduced to a
mere police force-it is safe to conclude
, that there is rank treason at the bottom of
/ the movement.
There are over 900 national banks in
. the United States. Since the date ofstheir
organization sixty banks-not 900 as the
1 Democratic press has it-have gone into
liquidation; but not single individual
p holding their notes has ever lost a dollar
1 by the failure or suspension of a national
S bank.
: There are thousands of Southerners
who believe that the South will in time
be reimbursed for the loss of its slaves.
The South Carolina Democrats, in order
e to cajole the colored people to vote the
e Democratic ticket, are promising to give
: them share of the money when it shall
s be obtained.
e Thurman should at once raise the charge
! that the Congressional Record has been sub
) sidized by the bondholders and national
) banks to pervert his sentiments. The
q Democratic p! ess would take that up and

N George L. Converse is named as thu
soldiers friend because he introduced
resolution in the Legislature to put stone
over the soldiers graves. From his con

of was very sorry that there were not NOR
in graves to put stones over. He was in ia
as vor of starving them out of the field
7u starving their bereaved families if the!
were slaughtered-against paying then
