ALETTER FROM WARREN.

interfered with my writing my usual
weekly letter and now l only steal
time enough to answer one of your
correspondents inquiring in last weeks
paper, although you have given him a
pretty good answer. 1t is N relation
to the principles Of the Democracy.
In connection with review Of their
principles will also give resume Of
their record. The standard of the
Democracy has for years borne the
legend ito the victor belongs the
spoils." While in power they purpose
making it pay and do not care an iota
for the future. Like that much
abused quadruped the mule, they have
"no pride Of ancestry or hope of pos
terity." They advocated slavery,
tried to make every new state admitted
into the Union, a slave state, and claim
to this day they were right. Although
not claiming every Democrat TO be
rebel l do claim they sympathizad
with secessionists during the war and
every rebel 1uaS a Democrat After
defeating them on the field Of battle
shall we now hand over the govern
ment to them because they put up
Union soldier for blind, and take
their word that they are reconciled
and that the people want a charge ?
The Republican party can point to
twenty years of good government,
carrying the country safely through
the war, reducing the national debt
many millions of dollars, and raising
the value of our bonds to premium,
after they had been reduced by Dem
ocratic folly SOC on the dollar. Under
Democracy's rule it cost from three to
seven dollars to collect one thousand !;
} or you might say from three to seven
dollars was lost in collecting one
thousand. Republican rule has
gradually reduced the cost until under
our present President it costs to collect
revenue but $40 Of one cent per
thousand dollars By electing Garfield
t we will remove even that slight cost.
: As an evidence of what Democratic
r rule will do take our own State for an
o example when the Republicans came
, into power, twenty years ago, this
State suffered from a tax besides a
It debt of over $40,000,000. To-day the
y people do not labor under State tax
It the debt has been reduced one half and
= the whole debt contracted by the wal
. has been paid. When people contrast
~ this with the rule OF Democracy they
e do not want change. It's the South
