Breaking Up.

The article in our columns from the Bel
fast Republican Journal of this week, de-
claring its abandonment of the democratic
party and its purpose to act in future with
the republican party, speaks the opinions
and purpose of the honest and best men in
the democratic party. The Journal does
not leave behind il in the democratic party
more able paper than itself, nor one that
has more the confidence of its readers. II
has long protested against any alliance of
democrats with the heresies of greenbafh-
ism. and at last when il has become EVIL
dent that the democratic organization Is
under the control of the disciples of the
RAG Baby. it cuts loose from the concern
and follows its principles into the republi
can party. All honor to the journal for
the noble stand it has taken Let the
friends of Honest Money give ii a hearty
support while it battles for the cause of
Truth and Honesty. This is the second
democratic paper in the State which has
left the democratic organization within
week. At the election there will not
be acorporal's guard left underthe old dem
ocratic banner. and when the votes are
counted in September the republicans will
have routed the enemy in every county in
the State.

COpperhead.

The Maine Standard having nothing
else to say in reply to our article concern
ing Rev Mr. Tilden's Decoration day ora
tion, trots out the threadbare falsehood
about our having been hung in efiigy dur
ing the war for Copperheadism. We are
always highly entertained when the STAN
dard goes through the performance of de-
nouncing us as Copperhead. The editor
considers this knock-down argument.
We admit that it would be if true. The
term in its real Specification as applied to
those who opposed the war to suppress the
rebellion is terrible. 1t has eclipsed ITO
ryism" utterly in our vocabulary as a
term of abuse skunk" is not so NAL
odorous word as Copperhead. Traitor"
fails to express the full idea of Copper
head, because the latter includes the quail
tiles of comard and hypocrite as well as
that of treason to the country. That even
Copperheads themselves appreciate the
disgrace attached to the term, is made evil
dent when in their disputes they apply
the term to others, as the extingushing
argument. The perfect picture of a
Copperhead may be found in the celebrat-
ed letter of Col. u. A. Smith to General
Roberts in the Maine campaign of 1875,
from which we copy the following:
"You were, | repeat, the political as
''sociate of Eben +. Pillsbury, whose in
famous teachings in Franklin county led
Ignorant men into riotous resistance
''to the Government which he had not the
courage to join, and who distin-
''guished himself even above En-
''ery by the brutality and black
''guardism with which he assailed
''the Union cause and especially for the
''vile language which he applied to Mr.
Lincoln personally"
The man who falsely accuses us of being
hung in efligy for Copperheadism answers
to the above description. Can anybody
wonder that we are entertained by such a
performance?

From the Boston Journal
Some Timely Figures.

The greenback convention of Maine and
the democratic and greenback conventions
of OHIO declare in effect that the bonded
debt of the government is being yearly in
creased, thus giving the country to infer
that the national debt is gradually in
creasing The Ohio democracy makes the
charge directly, while the Maine green
hackers attempt to alarm the country by
the statement that the coin interest debt
has increased from 81, ,1OO, 900, 900 in 1865
TO $4,000, 100000 in 1879 Both charges
are false in effect, and the latter is extreme
ly ridiculous and was craftily drawn to de-
ceiye the public.
The official figures of the Treasury De-
partment will show the falsity of the as
sumption of these initiation platforms
These figures show that the interest-bear-
ing debt of the country was largest Aug. 81,
1868. when it amounted to 81, ,3s1 $50, 294.-
96, upon which the annual interest charge
was Sl50,977 ,697.S7. August /, 1879,
when the refunding operations will have
been completed for the present and no
class of bonds will appear twice in the
debt statement, as has been necessary dur
ing the period of refunding, the bonded
debt of the country will amount to 81, ,797.- :
643,7OO, bearing annual interest amount
ing to SS2 773,77s.50. Even the most
rickety intellect in the greenback party
will not claim that real reduction of the
bonded debt Of the country between 1865
and 1879, aggregating SjS3, ,sSG ,594 90, is
an increase, or that Il reduction of interest
amounting to s67. .203. .9l9.3 annuallyis to
