The World Bays; "The cry of 'Copprliond' in no cover for the Startling fart thai. In tliree years of peace the radical pnrty has wrung flfieon hundred mll Hon" of money lu taxes lioru the pockets of the people, and baa borrowed eight hundred urn lions more." Remarks by the Tribune. If einiplo, naked, barefaced, inexcusable falsehood cbuld transform the Atnerioan people Into Copperheads, it were idle to hope to make Lead against those who do not hesitate to make Each shamefully false assertions as those above quoted, lint we have faith in the might of troth, and will adduce some facts that ought to make the authors of euoh statements blush or their audacity. The amount of the national debt on the 1st Cf AugUBt, 1SC5 (three years ago), after de duoting the cash in the treasury, was over ?2,757,OO0,00O. The amount of that debt Is now certainly Hot over $2,017,000,000; so that the debt has lieen nrluced io the last three years not less than 240,000,000. What means, then, the naked lie that the Government has borrowed $800,000,000 in these years f It means, we presume, that a very large portion of the national debt existed, three years ago, in the shape of certificates of na tional indebtedness and other Treasury due Lills, which have since been funded into regu lar loans. Most certainly, the Secretary of the Treasury reported, August 2, 1865, that the total debt, over and above the money in the Treasury, was $2,757,253,275, and that the annual interest accruing thereon was f 131), 202, 408. Will any one pretend that either debt or Interest is so large as this at present ? The Seoretary reported the amount of legal lenders then in circulation (iuoluding coin- ound interest notes) at $085,230,2(59. This as been reduced nearly $300,000,000; and sot mainly by destroying plain legal tenders, lut by redeeming and canceling the 200,000,000 of notes which, while they were legal-tenders, were drawing compound in terest. Including back interest on these notes, the Treasury must have paid over $400 000,000 for interest on the National Debt within these two years, beside paying and some cancelling 1 240,000,000 of principal, llere are six hun dred and forty millions of the fifteen hun dred millions said to have been raised by taxes within these three years required and used to pay principal and interest of the na tional debt. Nor is this all. Three years ago we had not Jiearly finished mustering out and paying off our volunteer armies who had put down the Rebellion. This proceeding required immense Sums. Mr. Blaine recently ascertained from the Treasury Department that, within the six Xnonths that immediately followed General Lee's surrender (not four of which had passed on the 2d of August, 18(55) six hundred and twenty-five millions of dollars were disbursed In paying off the army and navy, including their muster-out bounties. It was this that absorbed most of the Seven-thirty loan, Whereoi $530,000,000 was rapidly taken for the purpose. But not merely have large Bums been re quired since August 2, 18(55, to pay off our Tolunteers. State after State has presented claims against the Union for the expense of raising and equipping troops for the war, and millions on millions have been allowed them. All these have swelled the expenditures, While hardly one State claim remains unad justed and unpaid. Mr. Blaine states the appropriations for the carrying on of the Government (exclusive of I'ublio Debt) for the ensuing fiscal year as fol lows: Executive, Legislative, and Judi cial, embracing all Department salaries and expenses 817,480,000 00 For the Army 8;t,08l,013 10 l'or the Navy 17,500.000 0U West Point Military Academy...... 302 000 00 Consular and Dlplornutlo service 1,'JoO l:H DO Tost Office Department 2 500,0m) 00 Indian Bureau, Treutlen, etc 2 5UH.U00 00 llivers and Harbors 4 700uinno Collecting the revenue 9,009,000 U0 Sundry civil expenditures con nected with the various Depart ments 0.020 00J 00 Ulscelianoous expenses of all kinds, including cost ol certain publlo buildings throughout the coun try, expenses of roconsiruo .on, e XDenbesnl closing np Freeduieu'H Bureau, etc 8,000,000 00 Deficiencies of various kinds in the dlUerent appropi iatlons 2,600,000 03 Making a total of. 1U0,8I8,44710 Equal to lets than 876,uuO,ooo in coin. Of oourse, this does not include the $7,200,000 in gold just paid to Russia for Alaska, nor the postage which our people pay for carrying their letters at two or three oents a piece; and why should it ? Nay: why should the 4,700,000 appropriated to the improve ment of certain rivers and harbors be charged In this account ? Every dollar so expanded is a permanent addition to the national wealth. The cost of collecting the revenue is too great, but is being rapidly reduced, in conse quence of the repeal ot nearly half our inter nal taxes by the present Congress. We hope to Bee it reduced within the yearto$G,000,00D. General Iloward is a soldier. and a Chris tian, whose word was never questioned. See ing it asserted in a speech by the lion. B. M. Boyer, of Pennsylvania, that he (Howard) Lad estimated the cost of the IVeedmen's Bureau for one year at $11,684,450, he felt constrained to rebuke the lie. Not only had he made no such estimate, but the total dis bursements of that Bureau up to the first day of this year, were less than six millions of dol lars; and the entire expense, inoludiug medical and commissary stores, and the pay of the army officers detailed to serve in this field, falls considerably below ten millions of dol lars. "And," adds General Howard, "a larga part of these expenditures were for the benetit of Southern whites, reduced to poverty by the Rebellion." When shall we see these facts and figures going the rounds of the Copperhead journals ? Trogross of the l'roiIdentIal Cmnjialgu. fV the N. Y. Herald. Thus far the Presidential campaign has been remarkably Hat. Most of the leaders seem to Le immured at the watering-places, or laid up with the vapors. Although the Republicans liave had the lead of the Democrats by some two months in the matter of nominations, they have failed as yet to strike a key-note. If there be any advantage on either side it is in favor of .the democrats, who have already -couiSl$feti with frw of their heavy guns in gSW esfei Virginia, following up thU Cin the the rWi:E-fettude sriasj.Ja, 1would seem that Ig&f AteuejBeigcaa!1&otto act upon WcWbwVW Aggrea- 6 ess bniLfts.HkokeJf'6v:jilTfi ii iiftans field is either lost or won. Most of the mmu- I nition and buncombe of the Republicans, how- I, ever, have thus far been looked up in Con- preps; but now that the bars are down and the members let loose we expect the country will soon be flooded by Republican stump speakers f all degrees. We shall presently have Wil Bon, Butler, Banks, Boutwell, Logan, Stevens, followed by all the little dogs of the party, on the full scent, which they will pursue until they have treed their game or perished through exhaustion. The plan of the Repub lican campaign in the South has not yet been fully developed. The leaders, however, are confident of carrying nearly all the Southern Stales unless the polls are taken possession of by the Democrats and the Republicans pre vented from voting by violence. It is oer tainly the fact that the Southern Democrats have at this stage of the campaign apparently formed in columns as storming parties, aud are only awaiting the proper time and the appointed signal to "move on the enemy's works." In the meantime the Republicans will not let the election in the Southern States fo by default, no matter what may ooour. heir lines may now seem to waver, but the infusion of a little Congressional spirit after adjournment will probably brace them up again, and the rank and file will go into the fight bold as ever. Deuce, putting all things together, we do not think the campaign will long continue to be as dull as it has been thus far, and that active operations will be com menced as Boon as the Republican members of Congress have visited their homes, packed up their extra linen, kissed their wives and sweet hearts and sallied forth again for the battle fields of political glory. 18G0-1888. From the JV. Y. Timet. The temper in which the Southern Demo crats have entered upon the contest for the Presidency bears a suggestive resemblance to that which animated them in the memorable canvass of 1860. They were then contending for a continuance of their supremacy in the Government. They are now struggling to regain ground lost by the Rebellion, and to reassert the authority in national politics which once reigned supreme. The threats now prevalent are a reproduc tion, with certain necessary modifications, of those which were in vogue wheu Lincoln occu pied the place ot Grant on the Republican ticket. Then the Union was menaced by way of indicating the resolve of the South never to recognize an anti-slavery President. Now, the guarantees of a restored Uniou are assailed, with the declared purpose of annulling the political result ot emancipation aud reviving a power in local concerns based upon the pride and prejudice of color. The same arrogant spirit, the Fame contempt fur law, the same low estimates of the strength and will of the loyal masses, are traceable in the course of the Southern Democracy in the two elections. "If the North elect Lincoln we will seced," was the sum of the Southern argument in 18(50. "If Grant's majority lie composed of colored votes, we will put Seymour itf the Presidency in defiance of bayonets," is the saying with which the Wade Hamptons of to-day express the purpose of their class. Now, as then, the old governing class of the r-outh claim for themselves a right to regulate the policy of the Republic, to be the judges of its measures and the interpreters of its Constitution; and they threaten a resort to iorce if their preten bions be repelled. The two positions, moreover, are charac terized by the Fame shallow artifice. The threatening indulged eight years ago always wore the pretense of resistance to euofoach inents. The embryo Rebels affected airs of injured innoctnee. They colored their case with the view of concealing the nature of their plans. The Republicans were the aggressors; they, amiable bouU, were tUo aggrieved parties. They treated the Republi can policy as an invasion of Southern rights, and held up secession as a measure of self-defense to which they would be driven by the ruthless and unconstitutional North. These were the tactics when Breckinridge ran the race with Lincoln; and they are employed now in support of Seymour against Graut. The Republican policy is assailed as that of a party engaged in promoting rebellion; Grant is pic tured as a candidate whose election will pro duce civil war; Congress is denounced as a body that must be circumvented, and its work as an outrage that must be overthrown. The Southerners, meanwhile, parade griefs which are but consequences of their own madness, and complain of penalties provoked by their own crimes. They attempt to divert atten tion from their proposed resistance to law by charging upon the Republicans an intent to create insurrection; so masking revolutionary projects by imputing intended violence to their opponents. The election of Lincoln was a mere pretext seized to cover the secessionist conspiracy. The Southern Democrats went into the elec tion prepared to throw off the authority of the Union if its Executive passed into Republican hands. At this moment, the same party is manocuvering under the leadership of Sey mour, with the design of making the triumph of Grant an excuse lor fresh turmoil and fur ther bloodshed. The struggle then was for the mastery of the Union or for its disruption. The struggle now is, for restoration to power and privilege in the Union, regardless of the Rebellion; aud its prosecution involves the de struction of the'guarautues called for by the loyal sentiment of the North. In both in stances, Southern politicians set themselves above the law, and presume to dictate the conditions of their allrgiiuce to the Union. They wanted its control, in the interest of slavery, in 18(50; they demand its control, in the interest of Rebels, in 1808. They depend at preseut, as before, upon the active sympathies of the Northern Democracy. The secession movement would have been dwarfed in its proportions but for the encour agement it received from the Breckinridge party in the Northern States. The opposition to the jeoonHtrncted Governments lacked or ganization aud enerpy until the New York Convention breathed iuto it the breath of life. Wade Hampton was reasonable, Cobb civil, and even Toombs decent, so long as the spirit and attitude of the Democratic party, as such, were a matter of uncertainty. Frank Blair's revolutionary pronunviumiento awakened de sires not before hinted at; and the nomination of Seymour and Blair on a platform which commits the party to warfare upon recon struction encouraged the Southern leaders to avow boldly a programme of resistance to law. They had been in close fellowshio with the representatives of Northern and Western De mocracy, had witnessed the construction of a Copperhead platform, and the nomination of candidates, one of whom never sympathised with the Union cause, aud the other is kuown to contemplate its defeat by treachery and bloodshed. It is not surprising that In these cir cumstances, the Southern politicians who came to New York comparatively rational, returned to their homes with rebellious aspirations once more rampant. Wade Hampton was so far carried away by the stimulating atmos phere of Tammany that he preaohed resistance to law in Union Square. Others shared his exoitement. They mistook Tammany for the Empire State the nomination of Seymour for nis election and went baok South huo-cincr the delusion that reaction rales at the North, and they may therefore command their own terms. - There is yet another point of analogy, aud that not the least significant. The relation of the Exeoutive to the rebellious elements is identioal in both oases. Secession, culminat ing in war, had been impossible but for Bu chanan. Resistance to reconstruction were fanoiful, and not to be thought of seriously, but for the patronage it receives, and the buo cor with which it is tempted by Johnson. The dead President disclaimed constitutional au thority to save the Union by stifling secession in its cradle. The living President In like manner repudiates the obligations of duty In regard to the newly-formed Governments, and avows a readiness to recognize and help efforts for their destruction. To this extent the parallel is perfect. Be tween the two men, however, a marked dif ference is discernible. Buchanan was weak and vacillating; one day, Cobb and Jacob Thompson guided his counsels; the next, Union men seemed to possess his confidence; and while the pitiful spectacle of an Executive paralyzed by doubt and fear went on, the conspiracy grew in strength and boldness. It aoquired magnitude beoause of Buchanan's weakness rather than in consequence of his sympathy. Johnson, en the other hand, has doggedness of resolution and nerve, to play the most desperate game. His is no passive sympathy, lie is actively enlisted on the side of the revolutionists, by his declarations en courages their lawless spirit, and by his policy perverts the power of the Executive to uses which lead to commotion and difficulty. The comparison suggests one consideration of a more satisfactory character. The events of the winter of 18(50 took the country by surprise. Few supposed the threatened dan ger to be real, and these had not power to provide for its requirements. Now the de signs of the revolutionists are understood; the advantages they derive from the uncon cealed sympathies of the President are appre ciated; and a Congress overwhelmingly Re publican retains the means of vindicating its authority and crushing any movement of re sistance to law which Southern supporters of Seymour may be mad enough to inaugurate. In this respect, at least, 1S(58 is satisfactorily ahead of 1SG0. Radical Extravagance From the N. Y. World. It is somewhat amusing to see the efforts which are making by the radical leaders, ora tors, and organs to divert attention from their own corruptions, misdeeds, and prolligacy. ihey realize that the records of their own party, its extravagance and revolutionary measures are bo odious that, unless they can raise some laise issue, their defeat is certain. Under this idea they are occupying their time in abusing the candidates on the Democratic ticket and chattering about economy. Ia this way they hope to maintain their supremacy over auaira at vasuington. The records of the action of Congress dur ing the past three years exhibit too plainly what the radical idea ot economy means for their professions now to deceive any person. Nor will their attacks upou Horatio Seymour, a man whose ability is so well known through out tne country, ana whose character as a man is without a stain, avail the radicals any thing, or furnish them relief. It is also in vain that they harp about the acts or sayings of Democrats during the war. Those ques tions have become a part of the past; new questions and new issues are now attracting the attention of the people. They see that notwithstanding the war has been closed over three years, yet the expenditures of the War and Navy Departments are increasing every year, ihey realize that tue taxation still re mains at the highest figure, and the cost of living increases, rather than diminishes, and yet there is no reduction of the national debt. Ihey also see that the expenses of the army have increased from ninety-five millions the second year after peace, to one hundred and filty-six millions the third year. The people likewise bear in mind that since the surrender of the armies of the Rebellion the radi cals have borrowed about eight huudred mil lions, and taken from the people nearly four teen hundred millions, by way of taxes and customs during the same period, and yet our currency, which was twenty-one per cent, dis count in 1SG(J, is now twenty-nine per cent, below par, and will continue down so long as the radical policy prevails. As it sinks in value taxation increases. They have lengthened the hours of toil of the mechanics and laboring men until twelvo hours now, even with in creased wages, leave that class no better oil' at the close of the year than eight hours would during Democratic administration of the Gov ernment. By the same radical polioy our merchant ships have lost the carrying trade upon the seas, and that business is trans ferred to Great Britain, thus placing still greater burdens upon the other interests of the country. Such are some of the results of the radical policy and radical extravagance upon the interests of the country. In the face of these facts we find them talking about economy. But we find no official act or the sanction of any measure that will work out economical results. They refuse to pass a bill in Con gress to reduce the .expenses of the army, but by the estimates of their own committee they will reach, for the present year, very near two hundred millions. They have intro duced and passed, in one branch of Congress, a bill to fund the public debt, under the plea of reducing the interest. But the very word ing of this bill shows that it is a sham, aud that it will, under radical rule, become a dead letter upon the etatute books. They continue the Freed men's Bureau in operation, and expend through it millions of dollars taken from the laboring men of the North, to support the negroes in idleness. They speud money with a lavish baud upou all maimer of private jobs and sohemes to benefit their own party contractors. They have passed a tenure-ol-oilice law to retain their corrupt in ternal revenue oflluials in office. To obtain money to meet all this extravagance they tax every article of food which the people con sume, and every piece of cloth they wear upon their backs. In vain have the people asked where all this money goes. In vain have they asked what has become of the two thousand two hun dred millions which have been raised for the national Government siuce the war closed. The debt is larger than it was then, and the general expenses are increasing rather than diminishing. Frauds and peculations, plun dering and rascalities in office have become the order of the day, and yet when the people ask why all this extravagance this reckless expenditure of money, the only response that they obtain from the radi cal organs is that Seymour opposed the war and addressed the rioters as his friends. Under pretensions of extraordinary loyalty, they are laboring to continue their system of extravagance, to keep up the expenses of the army and navy, which we have shown have been increasing ever since the war closed. Extra loyalty is tha name and the cloak un der which they hope to oontinue their thieving, their rascalities aud extravagance. The peo ple must not be deceived by their professions, but bear in mind that their only hope for eco nomy in the administration of the national Government, their only chance for a relief from oppressive taxation, and the only cliauoa for the prosperity of all business interests, as well as those of the mechanic, the artisan aud laboring man, is by the success of the Demo cratic Presidential ticket. Wliy not Try a Little Argument! From the if. Y. Evening rost. The Tribune and World are now in the full sweep of what politicians call "the campaign." In each paper we read, day after day. asper giODS of the motives of the other Bide, an I scurrilous attacks on the character of its poli tical opponents. We read in the World that General Grant is a scoundrel, a peculator, a sot, and a man without a name. And we read in the Tribune, that Seymour is a hypoorite, an ally of Mack erelville, a Rebel in disguise; and Blair la no better, but rather worse. The World repeats day after day the gross misstatement whloh has been shown in our columns to have not even a foundation in fact, that "iu three years of peace the radical party has wrung fifteen hundred millions of money in taxes from the pockets of the people, and has borrowed eight hundred millions more." But the Tribune re torts with some such anecdotes as these: "The WarrenHhurgfMo.) Hlandard Is Informed Mint there Is a Rebel ting in the sauctum of the Varrensburg JovrmU, for 'the faithful' to weep over. Heud Uto Frank Blair, by all means. "There Is some curiosity to know whether Bey mour, iud., where the Adams Express rob btrs recently were lynched, was named alter Horatio. If so, he should call there with a speech acldressod to 'My Jrleuds.'" So they go on, day after day, with only oc casional glimmers of reason. Now the can vass is a very important one. It so happens, unfortunately for the country, as we think, that a question which a mouth or six weeks ago the best men in both parties had agreed to consider as decided, has become the chief issue in the struggle. Tho rash letter of General Blair, which is generally regretted by thoughtful Democrats, has made the question of Teconstrnctian the leading one in the canvass. This question both sides might well argue soberly and dispassion ately, for each has a firm conviction upou it. The Democratic leaders apparently be lieve in all sincerity that the only way to secure liberty and constitutional government to the States of the Union is to let none but white men vote. Any other course will be ruinous to liberty and free government, they Bay. Now, we do not believe this; we believe that liberty and constitutional government are safest with impartial suffrage; we believe that it would be a great injustice and a serious in jury to the country to confine the suffrage to the whites, to proscribe men on account of color; and particularly that this would be in jurious in the Southern States, where the blat ks form so large a part of the population. We believe with General Blair iu 18(51, that "to him with whom w can trust the bullet to cave the life of the nation, we can likewise en trust the ballot to preserve it; and we invoke the co-operation of the federal and State Gov ernments, and the people throughout the Union, to use all lawful means to establish a system of suffrage which shall be equal and just to all, black as well as white." We be lieve with Mr. Johnson in 18(55, that it is wise and safe to grant the frauohise to those blacks who can read aud write, who own property to a certain amount, and who served in the war; and we hold, above all, that whatever restric tions are made should apply impartially to all men. But Democrats believe just as sincerely in a policy of proscription: why will they not calmly reason upon and argue for "their favorite policy r Why appeal only to igno rance and a hateful prejudice 1 The everlast ing talk about "carpet baggers" does not con vince any reasoning being. Is it a crime to represent in Congress a State in which you were not born f If it were, what would become of half the Democratic members of Congress f The attempt to inllama the pre judice against the blacks is not worthy of honorable men. The blacks are Ignorant but it was a crime, only a few years ago, to teach them the alpha bet. They are poor but they were left at the close f the war absolutely without property. They are misled, in some cases, by dema gogues but the whites of the Southern States were woefully misled, to their ruin, in 1800 61, by as unscrupulous and evil a set of dema gogues as ever gained power over a consider able population. The people prefer argument to vituperation and misrepresentation, and the party organs would serve their purpose far better if they would endeavor to appeal to the reason of their readers, rather than fall into a frenzy of Bcoiumg at meir amaguuisie.
