JAS. ROSS SNOWDEN, the great Democratic .Meeting at Inde pendence Square, Phila., Sept. 171 h. Mr. Snowden said In an evil hour the administration of the Government fell into the hands of these blind guides ;' not, however, it may be well to remember, by a majority of the people, for Mr. Lincoln was in a minority of upwards of a million of the popular vote. And here, in order that I may not be misunderstood as to the words aldmin iltration and Government, let me quote and adopt the resolution of the last House of Representatives of our State, and which was unanimously approved by the late Democratic State Convention : This General Assembly recognizes a manifest difference between the Adminis tration of the Government and the Gov ernment itself—the one is transitory, lim ited in duration to that period of time to which the officers elected by the people are charged with the conduct of the same; the other is permanent, and intended by its founders to endure forever.' But Mr. Lincoln and his party were . called to administer the Government.— Alas ! what sad calamities has this advent brought upon the country. Disunion, civil war, desolation of homes, destruction of myriads of lives and countless property, a depreciated currency, a national debt of gigantic proportions, swelling day by day, with grinding taxation now, and fearful oppression in the future.' This is the feast to which we are invited. The National debt—what is it now ? Who can tell ? An official statement recently published s tys that it amounted on the 30th of June last to one thousand one hundred and ninety-seven millions two hundred and seventy-four thousand three hundred and sixty-six dollars. It consisted of the following classes of obligations : Four per cents. $28,0: - )9,405 Five per cents. 101,297,136 Six per cents. 481.275,675 Seven & three-tenths per cent 189,9:20,5J0 Debi not bearing interest 396,721,057 But this frightful sum total does not in clude all the liabilities of the Govern ment. I see in the newspapers of the day other items mentioned, namely : U. S. certificates of indebtedness ; new - U. S. certificates of indebtedness ; orders for certificates of indebtedness : Quarter master's vouchers. These and many other items constitute a floating debt, most of which is not embraced in the above finan cial statement. Some idea of the magnitude of the business of settling army paymasters' ac counts may be inferred from the fact that over one hundred and fifty clerks are em ployed upon them at the office of the Sec ond Auditor ; yet, with all this force, there is a year and a half's accumulation of ac counts and claims in that office. If we add to the above statement all the liabilities incurred for war purposes since the 30th of June, and claims for damages, pensions, bounties, &c., &c., we will not overstate the total liabilities of the United States at the present time at TWO THOUS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Pennsylvania is about one-tenth of the Union as it was.' Her proportion of the National debt is, therefore, two, hundred millions of dollars. But if we impoverish and destroy the South, depopulate her cities, her towns and her plantations, the proportion of the debt to Pennsylvania will be increased fifty per ~cent.; making her liabilities for the war three hundreu millions of dollars. The expenses of the General Government, for all purposes, at the present time exceed two millions of dollars per day ; that is, at the rate of more than seven hundered millions per an num. The internal revenue tax now levied is estimated at one hundred and fifty mil lions of dollars. It is very doubtful whether that amount will be collected ; but whether it is or not, these figures will show what an immense increase every month and every year of war will make to the above-mentioned enormous amount of liabilities. The debt is now represented by a mere promise to pay, but it is payable in money, which the Constitution recognizes to be gold and silver. It will increase our un derstanding of the amount of the money I have named when we consider the weight of those amounts in gold and silver. The debt is now, say, two thousand millions of dollars; this in gold coin of the United States would weigh three thousand eight hundred and seventy-four tons. (A ton of gold weighs about 8,685.) To move this amounton au ordinary road would require 3, 885 horses, or 971 wagons with four horses. Silver weighs about fifteen times as much as gold. It would, therefore, require a greater force, in that proportion, to move the above amount if estimated in that metal. Row much these amounts would weigh in paper which has no intrinsic value, I have no means of calculating. The valuation of all the property, real and personal, in Pennsylvania, as fixed by the Revenue Board of 1863, is five hun dred and ninety-six millions of dollars.— The ascertained and registered debt of the United States on the 30th of June last, alone, without reference to other debts and liabilities, is nearly twice as great as the whole value of the assessed property in this Commonwealth. if we include the estimated debts before referred to, inclu ding claims for damages, tie., &AL, we then have a debt more than four times the value of the property of all kinds in Pennsylva nia as returned by the assessors to the county commissioners. This comparison also will assist us to form some adequate idea of the National Again, Boston, in proportion to her population, is the richest city in the United States. The total wealth of that city, as recently valued by the assessors, is three hundred and two millions of dollars. The whole wealth of that city will not pay the expenses of the Government for much more.than one hundred days. Oar own Commonwealth has had some experience in reference to a State debt.— I do not wish to revive unpleasant recol lections, but it must be admitted that for two or three years we failed to pay the in terest on our debt of forty millions.— Since 1855, under the influence of the tax of three mills on the dollar authorized by the act of 1854, we have paid the interest, with some deductions which ought not to be made, but the .debt remains about the same amount, according to the last official report of the State authorities. It is esti mated that about one million more will be required to pay certain military claims au thorized to be paid by a recent act of As sembly. , When we reflect that the last two years and a half added an additional debt of two hundred millions as the proportion of Penn sylvania, we may well be alarmed for the future. We will find that the heavy taxes now imposed are only the precursors of heavier and more exhausting taxation in the future ; and unless arrested in our downward career, onr hitherto free, pros perous and happy land will be overwhelmed in irretrievable bankruptcy and ruin—a pitiable spectacle to ourselves and to the world of a great nation destroying itself in the vain expectation of planing the negro on an equality with the white man, and of subjugating eight millions of our fellow-citizens in the endeavor to accom plish -such an unnatural and impossible event. If we turn from the subject of the finan ces and look at the currency of the country, what an extraordinary spectacle meets our view. The Constitution of the United States makes gold and silver the only legal money. of the United States. Heretofore, as the result of Democratic measures, gold and silver coin, with a proportion of bank notes payable in coin, formed the currency of the country. The Gold bill and the Sub-Treasury law, once so much abused by the enemies of the Democratic party, fulfilled the expectations of the friends of a sound currency. The mint poured forth its millions of coin. The prophecy was realized ; gold coin dld shine through the interstices of the purses of the people. It wee the era of gold, and golden hopes for the future beat high in every true Ameri c4i heart. Then every American at home or 'abroad could, in the language of Ben ton, consider himself 6a hundred feet high.' The starry flag was then the emblem of freedom, union and strength ; and woe be to that emperor or king who would touch but a hair on the head of the humblest citizen who reposed under its sacred folds. But now, alas ! there are none so poor as to do her reverence. To add to our misery and humiliation, whilst we now speak, negotiations are going forward among the kings and despots of Europe to plant an Austrian kingdom, supported by French bayonets, on this North America of ours —hitherto sacred from the intrusion of I foreign powers. Let us hasten to settle our difficulties, and with a united country say to these rulers of Europe, cross not the Atlantic. Advance not one step upon American soil. Americans must govern themselves, and be the arbiters of their own destiny. But, alas ! we are in no condition to assert our rights, much less to stand upon our dignity, and honor. Even our personal rights seem to be passing away, like the snow upon the mountains. The tread of military despotism seems to be advancing nearer and nearer. Nl , e should be thankful, I suppose, for the privilege of meeting here, under the shadow of Independence Hall, where our fathers declared themselves free and independent. We are indeed thank ful that this privilege is left us. Let me return from this digression.— With civil war comes a grinding debt, heavy taxes, and a depreciated paper cur rency. The currency consists of notes that are a legal tender by act of Congress, but not convertible into gold or silver.— No one will keep these paper promises long. They will not be hoarded away un der hearthstones and in the cellars like gold and silver. The practice of hoard ing I do not in any case approve; I only speak of it to show the home-appreciation of the difference between gold and silver on the one hand, and notes on the other. If a man has more of the latter than he needs to pay his debts and buy what he wants for himself and his family, he will fund it. This is well enough, and he is doing the best he can. If there was some reasonable limit to this business it would be better. The operation of printing Money may be carried too far. I notice, more over, that the printing establishments of the Government are not able to print the notes fast enough. Mr. Chase has, within the past few days, called on the banks for a loan to the amount of the small sum of fifty millions of dollars. These millions will not last him a month, but they will give time for the paper machines to get ahead of the pressing demands from all quarters upon the Treasury. Fifty mil lions of dollars in years past was quite a sum of money. During Mr. Van Buren's Administration, when he had, besides the Government to attend to, a war with the Florida Indians on his bands, the country was convulsed with indignation, because the expenditures reached the sum of thir ty-five millions per annum ! This had more to do in preventing his re-election than the other arguments used against him, namely : " Sub-Treasury"--" Blood hounds"—"Standing Army"—"One Term" and " No Veto." 51,197,274,366 Mr. Polk carried on the Government and a war with Mexico at a cost of forty three millions per annum. With these tens of millions he conquered a peace," secured to us Texas, and bought the golden region of California. But his Administra tion was denounced for its extravagant expenditures ! These figures were moun tains then—they are pigmies now. But the currency sytnpathizes with pri ces and at this time with all things of value, but especially with COTTON goods. Five dollars in paper money does not go far in buying a dress for the wife or a frock for the child, or even in filling the market basket. A half-eagle formerly did at least twice the work. Prices go up as paper money goes down. A currency based upon credit is deplorable indeed; the far ther the credit is Stretched, the worse the currency becomes. • Continental money and the French Assignats were current for a time, bat the expansion at last be came too great—elasticity has some limits —they burst, and then came the collapse. An irredeemable currency is like a despo tism in this that it exists only by the suffer ance of the people. They suffer from or either, "until sufferance ceases to he `'s, virtue, and than mimes the deluge. gg : . : :1 I.: c 01113 "t; ; . 00 I- • a • - LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING., OCTOBER 6, 1863. I come now to suggest a remedy for these pfesent and impelling evils. This would be an easy task if all our people North and South would bring to ..their re membrance the sublime truth that the Power which governs the world and directs the affairs of nations and of men is not found in the fire, nor the tempest, nor the whirlwind, but in the still, small voice of gentleness, kindness and love. ' Have we gone so far in this work of blood and devastation that there is no re turn? Is the path of conciliation, com promise and peace for ever closed ? Sure ly not, my friends, surely not. We may yet by the withdrawal of the Emancipa tion Proclamation, the repeal of the Con scription bill, and all measures of like character, evoke and revive that feeling for the Union in the South which was de stroyed by these obnoxious measures. Let us then offer in good faith the guarantees proposed by Senators Crittenden and Doug las, to insure the domestic tranquility, safety and equality of all the States, and peace, unity and fraternity to the whole country. The remedy was well stated by our can didate for Governor from this sacred spot on the 15th of December, 1860. With the wisdom and foresight which character izes the true statesman, he said, " We must arouse ourselves and reassert the rights of the slaveholder, and add such guarantees to our Constitution as will pro tect his property from the spoliation of re ligious bigotry and persecution, or else we must give up our Constitution and Union. The alternative is plainly before us—con stitutional union and liberty according to American law, or else extinction of slave property, negro freedom, dissolution of the Union and anarchy and confusion." The war had not then actually comment - ed. If counsel like this had been follow ed by acts of a similar character, the dis mal chapter of civil war, with all its ca lamities and miseries, would not have been written in letters of blood ; but peace and union would now wave her banner over us. .• The party now in power do not appear to desire reoonciliatian or adjustment.— Their radical measures are inconsistent with either, and they declare that the war is now for the abolition of slavery and for the subjugation of the South, and that it shall be carried on to the bitter end. But let us not despair of the Republic. Let us, through the ballot-box, show our devotion to the principles of constitutional" -liberty ; nur determination to use every honest and fair means to place at the head of our State tacvernment a statesman of the good old Democratic school ; a school that teaches our duties to our fellow citi zens, our sister States, and to the Union, as well as our rights under the Constitu tion and laws. Our success at the next election will put our own ship of State on the old Dem ocratic track, with a firm, honest, able and enlightened statesman at the helm. We will then be in a condition to help forward the cause of the Union and the Constitu tion in the Presidential contest in 1864, which will decide the fate of the nation perhaps for all future time. Professional Etiquette. A writer in the Cornhill Magazine says : Some years ago a gentleman, who lived in a somewhat lonely part of the country, was asked to go and see a poor neighbor who was very ill. On his arrival be found the man at the point of death and ex tremely anxious to see a clergyman. The visitor went to the house of a clergyman who lived near, and told him of the dying man's wish. The clergyman replied that as the house of the dying man was out of his parish he could not interfere, nor would any remonstrance induce him to do so. An eminent lawyer was so fortunate as to be made the heir of a rich and childless old man, who, falling ill, showed him his will, by which it appeared that the testator had given a life interest only to his intend ed heir. When this was pointed out to the sick man he said,' Yes, but I under stood you to say you meant never to mar ry 1' ' I may have said so,' was the an swer, but I certainly did not seriously mean it, and at any rate, I should not wish you to act upon that assumption.' 4 Then,' said the sick man, t draw up the will so as to give yourself the absolute property, and I will execute it.' The lawyer replied that he could not make a will in his own favor, and before another lawyer could be found the testor had died, and' the mistake had become irreparable. A gentleman was poisoned but escaped with his life ; the poison remained in his body and caused him grievous suffering. He employed certain unrecognized reme dies, and by means of them, as he consid ered, recovered his health and got the poison out of his system. He went to an eminent physician and described his case. The physician said : I will treat you on the supposition that you really have got rid of the poison, but don't tell of me, for the remedy, which as you say has got it out, is not recognized by the profession.' These illustrations are instances taken from the three learned professions of a sort of secret code of laws, of which the outside world understands neither the principles nor the applications, but which exeroise.a wider influence than most peo ple would suppose over proceedings of some of the most important classes of the community. Stich rules are almost al ways unpopular, and even if they are ac knowledged to exist, are submitted to un willingly by the public, though, like al most all peculiar jurisdictions, they often seem to be regarded' with a strange sort of unreasonable loyalty by those who are subject to their provisions. In all probability each feeling springs from the same root. Professional men like professional rules because they are usually founded on the principle that the profession to which they apply is some thing extremely dignified, and as such, entitled to exact from its members a cor responding demeanor, and from the public a corresponding degree of respect. - The public view them with impatience, and at times even with disgust, because they are generally disposed to look upon them as organized hypocrisy, and because, at all events, they do not like to admit that any class has a right to claim any sort of per manent superiority over others. Pompey are you willing to be damned if it should be the Lord's will 1' inquired a pious friend. Oh yes, masse;and more . .too I am," willing you to be dinuied too, bitten," replied 'Pompey. •" , ' A Manly Speech. Ex-Governor Seymour, of Connecticut, at a Democratic celebration in Middletown, Conn., made a glorious speech, from which we extract the following : Gov. Seymour then spoke of the former prosperity of the country, and contrasted it with the present shocking state of things. He traced the progress of the abolition warfare for the last thirty years, following it down to its present legitimate result, the present fearful and ruinous civil war. He said these troubles originated with the North., and however desperately the . sec tional agitators here may strive to deny this, the truth of history cannot be set aside to shield them from the responsibility that ' properly belongs to th.m. He alluded to the time of the admission of Louisiana, and the declaration, or threat, then made in Congress by Josiah Quincy, of Massa chusetts, that if that State were admitted, the North would break up the Union. The same spirit has animated these agi tators from that day to this ; witness the cell, but a few years since, for a conven tion in Massachusetts, by the leading men of that class (one of them now an officer at the head of a negro regiment in the field, and lauded for his patriotism,') the open ly declared object of which was to take measures to dissolve the Union! Again,, look at the action of the Legislature of that State, at the time of the admission of Texas, in passing resolutions declaring, as the deliberate conviction of Massachusetts, that if Texas should be admitted it was the duty of the North to break up the Union. This infernal spirit blossomed out in Garrison's apothegm, The Constitution is a covenant with death, and the Union a league with hell.' And these men and their teachings are now commended to the people as patriotic ! He alluded to Mr. Lincoln's dootrine, that the Union could not exist half slave and half free, as being identical in its es sence with the irrepressible, conflict' doc trine that has plunged this once peaceful, great and happy nation into this ruinous war. Mr. Lincoln's doctrine and the ir repressible conflict ' proposition are one and the same sentiment—and it is a dis union sentiment. It has had much to do in bringing these troubles upon the country. Gov. S. then took up the Constitution, and this anniversary of its adoption which we are here to honor. The Constitution, he said, was intended to guarantee to the people civil liberty. It was for this that the Revolution was fought, and the Con stitution secured. Gen. Washington would never have signed his name to it if he had not believed it was to secure his country men the enjoyment of their civil rights. When he resigned his commission, Mr. Mifflin, the President of Congress, said to him, that in all the exigencies of the mili tary struggle, to his honor ho had invari ably respected the civil power—the legal rights of the people. What a rebuke is this to the conduct of such men as Burnside, and of those who, higher in Po sition, surpass the atrocity of even his acts. The habeas corpus is the great, the last safeguard of freemen to protect them from the outrages of ambitious and unscru pulous usurpers of power. Its destruction is the overthrovOof civil liberty. The Con stitution, without it, is nothing. Take that away, and any usurper can assume and exercise the power of a.Dictator. It was this doctrine that led our country to borrow from English history that very tiig nifwant expression : Every man's house is his castle. This cherished principle, sacred even in monarchical Britain, is rudely stricken down by the act of Abra ham Lincoln. He referred to the time of the younger Pitt, when there was introduced a bill for an excise law, to raise money for carrying on war against France, and the effect of it on the British people. This measure, far lees dangerous than the suspension of the habeas corpus, was denounced in Parlia ment in such language as this : g It brings with it the right of search; it lays open the private dwelling which every Englishman is taught to regard as his cas tle. The poor man in his cottage may bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown.— It may be frail—its roof may shake—the storm may enter, the rain may enter, but the King of England cannot enter. All his forces dare not cross the threshhold of that ruined tenement.' Gov. S. then proceeded to speak of the conduct of those in power, in changing the declared object and character of the war. He had himself been opposed to war at all, as a remedy for the troubles growing out of this sectional, anti-slavery agitation war might have been avoided ; but war had been resolved upon, and produced ; and it was not strange that, beguiled by the dec larations of the 'single ()Nee of 'restoring the Union,' and 'abiding by the Constitu tion,' with which it was commenced, thou sands of young men should have gone into it. But its character is now changed ; it is acknowledged and declared to be an abolition war;' and sweepingly illegal and destructive measures of Confiscation and Emancipation are enacted. He denounced the Conscription as an unooninitutional act. The author of the bill must have known it. Conscription is the highest act of despotic power, and therefore inconsis tent with a republican form of government. The courts, it seems, can no longer be looked to for relief. The Administration has attempted, and with some success, to seize upon the entire machinery and con trol of the Judiciary ; and not satisfied with / this, by the latest act of the person who now occupies the seat once held by Washington and Jefferson, the whole pow er of the Courts to vindicate the civil rights of the citizen against the outrages of despotic power is all abolished at is blow. Hence the people may have to bear their wrongs in silence. But sooner or later the rights of the people will be re stored, and oppression signally rebuked. Gov. S. appealed to the Democracy to stand together, and remain firm in the right, through whatever may yet come.— The history of their party was an honora ble one. Not all the intolerance, the abuse or the slanders of their opponents could change history. Theirs was a patri otic record. He conclnded by expressing the hope that the time would come when the blessed sunlight of Peace would again visit our darkened and distracted land, and the prosperity of the country be re stored. As long as men smell of whiskey and tobaooo, the women have a right - to defend themselves with musk. OPTICAL hursloN. - -The Richmond I Eiaminer is responsible for the following illustration of optical illusion : Three young men, handsomely dressed, sat by the well fountain in Capital square, yesterday morning, smoking and chatting pleasantly and leisurely. While thus en gaged in whiling away time, a respectable looking citizen, whose head was rather grayish and expression somewhat stern and cynical, took a seat on the same bench, and managed to glide into the conversation, turning its course, meanwhile, to the army. At length he asked : How is it, gentle-: men, that you, in the fall tide of health, with apparently plenty of time and money, well brought up, and all that—how is it that you sit here idly, and see others fight-; ing and being butchered up, and sickening to death for your sake ? ' Well,' responded one 'the army would suit me well enough, but for one thing : if you will pull off that neatly fitting shoe and roll up my drawers, you will find a. leg made of leather straps and iron ribs. The original I left at Sharpsburg. ' 'As for me,' remarked the second, you will take the trouble to feel this left arm, you will discover that the bone between the shoulder blade and the elbow, to the length of about five inches, has been removed. When I stand upon my right foot, also, I am balancing on my toes, the heel being gone. Result of bullets in the second bat tle of Manassas.' The thiid youth scarce-` ly knew what to say,kit looked daggers at the cynical old codger, and finally broke out : 'The same sort of talk forced me in. I was a shaking skeleton when I joined, on the first march I broke down, got pat in one of the meanest hospitals in the country, and came out paralyzed in one side.' (Here he held up a shrivelled and a lifeless arm.) And may I ask, Sir,' he added, 'what keeps you out 3 You seem to be in excellent vigor.' 'Mel 12 Why —ahem !—l'm over forty-five.' a If we bad choice . of a wife with ten thousand pounds and a bad temper, and one with a sixpence, and a sweet, good temper, we should take the latter at once, or we are bigger fool than we ,suspeot ourselves of being. We deliberately be lieve that ten thousands pounds five times told could not be made to procure as much happiness as a sweet-tempered wife yields. And as much as men love money, the greater and best part of them will judge as we do. So girls, cultivate a sweet tem per as the best dowry you can bring a husband. h may sound like a paradox, yet the breaking of both wings of an army is a pretty sure way to make it fly. A dandy, smoking a segar, having en tered a menagerie, the proprietor requested him to take the weed from his mouth, lest he should teach the other monkeys bad habits.' The av a ricious man is like the barren sandy desert, which sucks in all the rain and dews with greediness, but yields no fruitful herbs or plants for' the benefit of others.
