EQUAL TAXATION--EVERY VARIETY OF
PROPERTY PLACED ON THE SAME
FOOTING.
The Watchman, and the entire
Democratic press, in their anxiety
to deceive the people have got not
only Seymour, but themselves into
"a sea of trouble." In order to mis
lead the people on the question of
taxation, they raised the cry of
"Bloated Bondholder" and "Equal
Taxation of every species of proper
ty." The New York Convention
not satisfied with declaring the re
construction acts "unconstitutional,
"revolutionary, null and void,"
adopted as the fourth article of their
platform the principle of "Equal
" Taxation of every species of pro
perty, according to its real value,
"including Government bonds, and
"all other public securities."
The Pittsburg Commercial in speak
ing on this subject says, "The lan
"guage is clear, unambiguous, ex
" plicit." If the reader will analize
it, he will perceive that that which
is proclaimed to be the first and os
tensible object of the Democracy,
namely : taxation of Government
bonds, is merely secondary. In fact,
at first view, it would seem as
though the words "including Gov
" ernment bonds," were au after
thought, since the addition of these
words and those which follow, were
not needed to complete the original
proposition, namely: "Equal taxa
" tion of every species of property,
"according to its real value."
Here we have the body of the
proposition divested of the tail, in
which lurks the sting that the fra
mers of the platform designed to be
directed against the Republican party.
Repellent as this is in itself, its vir
ulence is mildness compared with
the spirit which animates the body
of the proposition, to wit: .'=‘Taxa
"tion of every species of property."
If the reader will bear with us a mo
ment, we will show him that the
language here employed is none too
strong
A rigid compliance with the de
mands embraced in the proposition
quoted, will.subject every acre, every
field, every workshop, every article
of value in the country, every tool
of the mechanic, every cow of the
poor man, to taxation. By the pre
sent law all incomes less than a thou
sand dollars are exempted from tax
ation. This, we say, is wise and
eminently proper. Carry out this
proposition of "Equal Taxation of
" every species of property," and
the poorest man iu the land will be
compelled to pay the same tax on
his trifling earnings that the richest
man, and most opulent corporation
pay on theirs. We are now dis- .
cussing the merits of the proposition
without seeking the aid of Demo
cratic spectacles. We are tenacious
upon this point, the more so since
we are assured that those who fra
med this article of Democratic faith,
framed it deliberately and after ma
ture reflection, and with the firm
determination to enforce it if they
are successful in the coming cou•
test.
It looks as though it were another
device of Wade Hampton Co., to
punish every class in the North.
Equivocations and explanations are
alike useless. It is impossible to
conceal or obscure the language.
Carry out this proposition and all
the discriminations heretofore made
by the General Government, and
the various State Governments, for
the .relief of the farmers, the me
chanics and laboring men are over
thrown. The poor man's bed will
be taxed in the same proportion as
the luxurious appointments of' the
rich man. The pine table, pewter
spoons, and cradle of the poor man
will then be placed on the same list
with the piano, the richly appointed
carriage, and the plate of the rich
Every mechanical invention ;
every implement of husbandry and
art ; every wheel that enters into the
composition of machinery, however
trifling, from a gun barrel to a grist
mill, from a clock to a currycomb,
will be taxed alike. "Taxation of
every species of property," includes
the stony hillside, the swampy flats,
and the unproductive pennyroyal
ground. Theyich corporations, such
as railways, bridge and similar com
panies, will then pay less taxes than
they now pay, because poor people
now taxed lightly, will pay more,
and those now exempt will go upon
the list.
IMMI
Will the "Watchman" please ex
plain to the farmers, mechanics, and
laboring men of Pennsylvania how
they are going to be- benefited by
this recently invented Democratic
idea of "Equal Taxation ?" If, as
you say, they are taxed to death
now, when more than two thirds of
all the people in the country pay no
revenue tax, and no one pays a tax,
either State or national, upon real
estate, what must be their condition
and the condition of the whole coun
try, under the enforcement of the
fourth resolution of your platform
setting forth "Equal Taxes upon
"all species of property?" The far
mer pays no tax now on his wheat.
The Democrats say it is wrong, that
wheat must be taxed as well as
whisky. The farmer pays no tax
upon his farm, the Democratic plat
form declares this wrong and shouts
for • "Equal taxation upon every
" species of property."
Farmers, Mechanics, Laboring
Men! if you do not want to be op
pressed with taxation, vote against
Seymour and Blair . , and thus place
your seal of condemnation upon
Wade Hampton and the other rebel
Generals who placed them in nomi
nation and now boast that they got
all they Wanted in the platform, and
that if the Democratic ticket is elect
ed, "the South will win everything
for which she fought in the late re
bellion."
QUESTIONS FOR THE DEMOCRATIO
WATCHMAN TO ANSWER
Do you belong to the Jackson or
Calhoun wing of the Democratic
party ?
If you say you belong to the Jack
son Democracy, how will you justify
your course during the late rebellion ?
If you say you belong to the Cal
houn State Rights wing, please ans
wer why you did not go with your
State in favor of the Government, as
Gen. Lee went with his State against
the Government?
If you say Gen. Lee went with his
State and was therefore justifiable,
and not a rebel, do you not prove
too much and show that you were a
rebel and a traitor because you did
not go with your State ?
Are not all who acted with you,
and acted intelligently, according to
your doctrine of State Rights, equal
ly guilty with you?
Why is it, when you have so much
to say about the extravagance of the
Republican party, that you have
never published a word against the
extravagance of James Buchanan,
who burthened the people with a
debt of Seventy Millions of Dollars
in time of peace?
Was President Buchanan right
when he declared in his last message
to the Congress of the United States,
that their was no power in the Con
stitution to coerce a State?
Why is it that you have never
written one word in your paper con
deming the course of Floyd and
Cobb—members of Mr. Buchanan's
Cabinet—the one for stealing the
nation's guns, the other for robbing
the National Treasury, abstracting
Indian bonds, &c., &c. ?
If you are a Democrat of the
Jackson School, why did you always
sympathize and agree with Vallan
digham, Gov. Seymour, of New
York, Voorhees, of Indiana, et id
°mulct genus, who declared the war a
failure, the draft unconstitutional,
and the Union Soldiers nothing but
Lincoln minions, cut-throats and
thieves ?
If you are a Democrat of the Jack
son School, how will you justify him
in crushing out rebellion in South
Carolina, using coercion to enforce
the law and save the Union; and
brand Mr. Lincoln as a tyrant and
usurper for acting upon the same
principle and doing the same thing?
Why is it, that all the rebel gen
erals and all the confederate soldiers
who for four long years made war
upon
.the Government, and forced
upon the country the enormous na
tional debt of which you prate so
much, are all supporters of Seymour
and Blair?
Is it not upon the principle that
birds of a feather flock together?
Do you not honestly think that
the so-called Democratic party have
forfeited the confiikuce of the Ameri
can people ? And do you not fur
ther believe that the party that saved
the nation and maintained its honor
and credit, is the only party that is
worthy to rule, or should be per
mitted to rule it?
THE NATIONAL, BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1868.
" WHO DID IT V'
The Watchman of the 4th inst., in
an article entitled "Who did it?"
published the following : "It was
" the party that asks you to support
" Grant and Colfax, that sold the
" Public Works to the Pennsylvania
"Railroad Company, and thus placed
" the people of the State at the mer
" cy of that soulless corporation."
The TVatchman will not pretend to
deny that the Public 'Works, when
controlled by the State, were an in
tolerable burden upon the people, a
source of vexatious taxation, and
when sold all the people said, Amen,
except the many Democratic officials
who found them a very convenient
means for plunder and filching mo
ney in shape of taxes out of the
people's pocket, with which they
filled their own. The Watchnzansav an
should be more cautious . ' in making
such reckless and unwarrantable
charges, lest he incur the gross dis
pleasure of some of'his Democratic
friends, who have controlling in
terests in that "soulless-corporation."
Has the Watchman forgotten the
action of a Democratic conference
that recently placed in nomination
as their party candidate for Con
gress, L: A: Mackey, who is -the
head-of two of these "soulless cor
porations ?" One, the B. E. V. Rail
road Company, and the other the
Lock Haven National Bank. Mr.
Mackey is President of both these
corporations, and a "Bondholder"
besides We suppose we will not
hear much more from the 'Watchman
on Corporations,, National Banks and
Bondholders.
The Watchman should be a little
consistent, and not' howl "soulless
corporations" for the purpose of
prejudicing the laboring' men and
farmers, then give the lie to its own
declarations by nominating and sup
porting for the most prominent of-•
fines in the gift of .its party, men
who dress in broadcloth and'fme
linen and fare sumptuously every
day, and who are the head of these
"soulless corporations," and .whose.
interests are the same as thoSe of
the "soulless corporations" named by
it. •
The Watchman howls taxation.
Tax the Bonds and the National
Banks. Yet it supports for Con
gress the President 'of a National
Bank, and a Bondholder, of course.
Oh, shame, where is thy blush ?
Honest Democrat and laborer, if
you believe the falsehoods set up by
Democratic leaders about taxation
of bonds and "soulless corporations,"
you can never vote for L. A. Mackey
for Congress. If you do, you vote
to sustain just what the Watchnzan,
has condemned for the last five years,
and make its editor not only incon
sistent, but a setter forth of false
hoods and strange doctrines. Are
you willing, by your votes, thus to
condemn the "Watchman" of base
hypocrisy, and rthe meanest kind of
lying—lying to deceive honest men ?
Honest Democrat, if you vote for
L. A. Mackey, the old-line,Whig-
Know—Nothing—Republican—Aboli—
tion—Candidate for Congress, you
vote to support a National Bank '
which the "Watchman" says, (but it
lies), robs the Government of eigh
teen millions annually. And now
you must, from this papers own
showing, conclude that it, as a party
organ, is not Democratic in its teach
ings, principles and declarations, or
that it wilfully asserts what it does
not believe, for the purpose of de
ceiving you. If there is any honesty
in the "Watchman," why does it
declare one thing as the true Demo
cratic policy and then turn round,
and in the very next breath, sup
port and defend the opposite ? Hon
est Democrats of Centre, will you
suffer yourselves to be bamboozled
any longer?
REMEMBER:
Farmers, Mechanics, Laboring
Men of Centre county, that at the
present time, of all manufactured
articles or products of industry, the
following are only subject to specific
or direct taxation : Distilled spirits,
fermented liquors, manufactured to
bacco, gas, matches, and playing
cards. Perfumery, cosmetics, patent
medicines, and a few other manufac,-
tured articles, are subjected to a
stamp-tax, proportion to their selling
price. And we ask you further to
REMEMBER !
that since July, 1865, the additional
tax of five per cent. on incomes in
excess of $5,000 has been repealed,
and the exemption on all incomes
has been increased from $6OO to
$lOOO. No tax on farms, or the
products of the soil, is Republican
doctrine and practice. "Equal Tax
" ation on property of every species"
is the doctrine of the Seymour and
Blair platform. Farmers, choose
ye ! Working men and Mechanics,
choose ye !
ONE of the plank of the Democrat
ic platform favors "equal taxation of
of every species of property." That
means that the product of labor, and
the value of houses and lands should
be taxed as the income of bonds are.
Workingmen, are you in favor of it?
The tax on the income of bonds; is 5
per cent. The day laborer is asses
sed $5O for his occupation. The
tax on that, at bond rates, would
amount to $2,50 in addition to what
he now pays. The mechanic is as
sessed $2OO. Ills tax would be $lO
and if he owned a house, valued. at
$lOOO, would be $2O more. Every
farmer's tax would be increased from
50 to 5100. Farmers, mechanic,
laboringmen, if you want your taxes
increased, the best way to do it is to
vote for Seymour and Blair.

DU KNOW-NOTHINGS. OF TO-DAY.
It is reallyhmusing to us to see
.
.theistraightsTto :which the Demo.-
cratie party is driven in order to get
candidates,to run-.upon their ticket.
For 'the Vice Presidency they were
compelled to:_noniihate Frank P.'
Blair, who Was_not only an Aboli
lionist.before the war; but one :of
the very first Know-Nothings in the
land.
.A man who . so, -
. utterly de
spised the Democratic :party, that. a
favorite phrase of his -was, "that he
" would .rather sleep . .With a nigger
" than a Deniocrat." Now, how
ever, the yaderiof.the party in the
North, and ex-rebel leaders • of the
South, all, shout - for Blair. Blair
may suit the Rebels and their sym
pathisers ; but we are satisfied that
the honest Masses will not be de
ceived.into his support.
In this District, so bankrupt are
they 'in material, that they were
compelled to nominate L. A. Mackey
as their candidate for Congress.
Mr. Mackey . has never acted with
the Democratid party until very re
cently ; but was one of the very first
men in Clinton county to identify
himself with the -Know-Nothing
party. - How can the. Watchman sup
port such men and at the same time
have the audacity to look an honest
Democrat, or one of his foreign fel
low citizens in the face l
The IRISH REPUBLICS in speaking
of this subject, says:
•Under the wing of Democracy the old
Know -Nothing party has taken shelter.
From the Ku-Klux Klan of.the Sonth, to
the worst klan of Hall, pro
sciptioa and murder are th &order of the
day. The Know-Nothing - spirit of old
was hostile- to the foreigner, the Know-
Nothing spirit of Democracy assails the
negro and the men, who preserved. the
Union. -
I , The men who deny the rights of the
black race, for being black, would deny
the rights of Irishmen, for being Irish,
were it safe to do so.. The party.that de
nies the right of one race to full equality
before the law would deny those same
rights to all races did opportunity offer.
'lt is a notorious fact that while the Irish,
citizens compose fully one-half the Demo
cratic party,. the leaders of Democracy
hate and despise them as bitterly as they
do the negro. What else could our peo
ple expect. The man who wantonly cuts
the throat:of a dog would do the same for
a human being were it - lot; for the iron
hand law; . .
"The fell spirit that actuates those hu•
man fiends in the South, who, Under cover
of the darkneis and protected by their
murderous' associations, roam around
shooting and burning, is the very •spirit
that made Louisville and New OrleanS red
with the blood of our countrymen.
,"Is it not strange to find our people
working in unison with the men of New
Orleans . and Louisille, whose hands are
red with the blood of Irish "women- and
children ? - -
"Is it not strange to find the old Know-
Nothing faction_ of New Jersey nominating
_their grand master on, the, Democratic
ticket and whipping the' Irish Hite . his
support?
'"Even here in the city of New York,
where Democracy could hide its lead in
an oyster-shell were it not, for the Irish,
our people are despised and insulted every
day in the year by the Know. Nothings of
Democracy.
"It was notorious'at the late`Deniocratic
Convention that Hoffman and his friends—:
a; mere handfuli of the anti Irish—threat
ened to smash up the party if, the name of
Murphey was at its head. We do not
boast of Henry C. Murphey's Irishism,
for he is net an Irishman; but an Ameri
can ; but unfortunately forlini his name
is Irish, and no man of that name could
get the Democratic nomination for Gov
enor of the State of New York.
"The . n.asons for thus being despised
in-the very party that is borne on the
shoulders of liishmen is, that they are the
'chattels of Democracy. Never., mind the
Irish, you cannot kick dient• out of the
party; But unless you nominate Huffman
the German Democrats will bolt.
"Whenever the Democracy have a
chance for electing their men, you will
never find an, Irishman on the ticket., un
less he is placed there by his own people.
Whenever Denim:racy stands up to be
beaten, an Irishman is sure to he "honor
ed" with a nomination . We say to the
Democratic Know-Nothings, lash (lie slave
they deserve no better They are yours,
and no emandipati on proclamation can
free them. They ttre tied to your Demo
cratic car with Chaill3 of prejudice, and
though you drag them through all the
filth in the land, as you do, they will shout
for their owners.
"Here is Hoffman, the 'mad of his Know-
Nothing clique, who take the Irish Denton
racy' by the throat and tells the dogs to
lie still. They cannot come to the table,
but some bones will be flung to them by
and by.
"John Morrissey was thus taken-,
ry C. Murphey was thus taken, the . Fourth
Ward and the other banner• (black ban.•
ner) wards of this very Iri s h city were
all - thus taken by this Huffman and his
few Know-Nothing friends amid "thrown
heavily."
"The Irishmen of Jersey city aro taken
by the throats by Orestus (arrest us)
Cleveland, the great KnowANothimr ° , and
made to swallow him whole. The Irish
men of the entire State are guzzled by
Know-Nothing Randolph, Democratic
nominee, for Governor, and they must—,
must is the word—support him, for is he
not on the Democratic ticket'?
"Oh, this is a beautiful climax to the
vows of the Irishmen in:. the days of the
Louisville and .New Orleans killings to
find themselves , the great supporters of
Know-Nothingism, simply because they
are not killed nor burned in their houses
to-day as formerly, and that it is the
blackmail who is now the victim,"
BE ASSESSED.
Republicans of Centre County see
to it without delay that you are Las
sessed. There is no time to lose
and every vote is wanted to swell
the majority and increase the moral
force of the great victory at the
October election. After being as
sessed be sure that you have paid a
State or County tax. within the last
two years preceding the election.—
To work one and all. ,
DO THEY. MEAN TO LIE ?
A lie, says the Tribune, is an asser
tion made with intent to deceive.
Do or do not the opponents of
Grant and polfax habitually make
such statements with regard to the
National Finances? We make no
. .
charge, but state facts, leaving con
ofilsions to be drawn by others.
The World editorially says:
"In 1862, the public' debt was $2,423,
437,002,18. In 1868, it is $5,643,526,585
an increase of $219,819'282,83. Let us
have peace."
Is that true?
The Secretary of the Treasury
officially states, the total apparent
Debt on the Ist inst. at $2,643,256,
255,. but adds that the cash in the
'Treasury amounts to $107,641,971 ;
which, deducted from the above,
leaves the actual Debt $2,545,614,
313. Need we argue that the money,
ought to be deducted to ascertain
the true amount of the Debt? Here
for instance ; are some - . $25,000,000
of Certificates of Deposit of Coin.
Individuals. are allowed to - .deposit
their gold in'the Treasury, drawing
no interest thereon, and take Cer
tificaies the:_efOl' for con enience in
business. . 4s:our Debt iticri2.ised by
the sum of those Certificates, when
we have the gold ready_. to
.redeem
them on call : ?, Ts our Debt increaz,ed
by the arachint: of the' :Greenbacks
now in the Treasury? If we - oiVe
them, is it not to ourselves ? These
question's-admit-but 7of one. answer.
Again: We have lent to the Pa
cific Railroads bonds amounting to
$35,314;000. The Railroads pay
interest thereon as it accrnes ; they
are to pay the principal when due ;
and the Government has a second
mortgage on their respective roads
to secure such payment. Even if
they Were' to fail, thoSe roads will
and many millions not merely to the
taxable property. and income of the
People, but to. the revenues of the
Government, by stimulating settle
ment, production, in the cen
tral region 'of orn: continent, hitherto
harldly accessible." With -what. :rea
son isthis contingent liability added
6:Oilk War Debt . ? Yet, 'withotit it,
and deducting the cash in the Treas
ury,. our_ National Debt is 'apparent
ly $2,500,300,313, and really much
less, because of the Greenbacks Pos--
tal Currency, ctc., - which have
been 'berned, lost at sea, or other
wise de - strived, so that they can
never be presented for payment.
But the: "World" says the Debt
was,but $2,423,437,002 "in - 1855."
In what part of" 1865 ? • That :is a
pertinent question. : Oficourse, there
may have been some tme early in
1865 when
,the ascertained, liquida
ted Debt'was no more than is stated
above. But Richmond did udt fall
till April of that year, and Lee's sur
render dates from the 9th of that
month. Johnson's, Dick Taylor's ;
and the other-Rebel armies, surren
gered at a 'much later -day. The
bloody affairs of Five Foiks, Ben
tonville, Avelysboro' -Mobile, Selma
&c„ . &c., all occurred in 1865 ; and
our armies were not mustered out
and paid off till about the middle of
that year—part of them not until the
close of it. Secretary McCulloei of
ficially reported the Debt, over and
above the Cash in the Treasury, as
follows : ,
July 31, 1865....52,757,252,275
Sept, 1, 1865...... 2,757,689,571
It is now $257 000,000 less, after
paying $7,200,000 in gold for Alaska
unless the Treasury is charged with
the Contingent liability for building
the Pacific Roads. And why should
it be ? That is, not _money spent in
war
. and so sunk, ,i.guaraoteo to
secure the construction of works
which must acid vastly to the wealth
and prosperity—consequently, to the
tat-paying abilityof our People.

A LAND TAX.
"Equal taxation• of every species of
property, according to its real value, in , .
chiding Governmentrbondiand other pub
lic securities." Thus reads the fOurth
section of the Democratic national plat
form, and when it was reported to the
committee, we are told, it:was received
with loud repeated cheers; and cries of
"read it again ;"` "let us hear it another
time." This means, among other things,
a tn.x ;on farms and all real estate, accord
ing to its Selling value. A land tax has
always beeirpeculiai•ly odioui to the Amer
ican people; and always must be in a new
country, where land is the very source of
prosperity and growth.
In Pennsylvania a-Republican Adminis
,tratipit'i in - deference to this feeling, and
knowing that the prosperity of the Com..
monwealth is involved in the relief of its
land from burdens, took off the taxes front
real estate. •
The Democracy, in aiming a blow at the
Government bonds, have struck too far,
and hit the farmers. Another instance of
the genius of the Democratic leaders for
mismanagement.
Tui: Democratic State platform
demands "the iinmediate restoration
of all the States to their rights in the
Union under the Constitution." One
of their rights in the Union, accord
ing to Democratic interpretation, was
to secede. But the `.`uneonstitution
al and revolutionary Measures of
Congress" and of Gen. Grant have
derived them of this. How could
Congress mid Grant do such things 7
ONE reason why the intelligent
Irishman who landed at, Castle Gar
den will vote for Seymour and Blair
is because the Government has spent
so many millions of dollars on
Bureaus 'for Freedmen. "Divil a
bureau • did they ever' give me,"
says Pat.
Tnu public school buildings we are in
formed will not be completed until the Ist
of January. This being the case, Mr.
hustings, the Superintendent of the Puh
lio Schools of this borough, will open a se
lect school on Monday next in the room
over Milliken Hoover &Co's Bank, which
will continue until the comnletion of the
buildings. •
The Democratic -Watchman, at Belle
fonte, which made the assertion some time
since that there are forty-three men within
a circuit of five miles of that locality, in
Centre county, who, having alwitys voted
against the Democratic party, are now re
solved .to :vote for its candidates. We
question the reliability of that statement,
offering to reward Mr. Meek with the best
pair of boots he ever had on his feet, if he
proved his statement by bonafide names of
persons thus claimed to have changed their
politics. Meek refuses our - offer, and chal
lenges us to gamble on the subject—he
having put up with W. F. Reynolds & Co.,
bankers, k
nevere eis, correct. e

the gamester's oiler. Nevertheless, let
Sso :am as b a le b , e a t tid tha th t er b e e fol i
Mr. Meek make good his boast. It will
do his party good to show that he is truth
ful on this subject. If he proves his brag
to be correct, he shall have the boots, and
we will save him from resorting to the
gamblers' game of bluff. We continue to
doubt Meek's foolish assertion, as do a
dozen Republicans in Centre county who
have spoken to us on the subject. Give us
the names, Mr. Meek; your party is en
titled to that as evidence of your truthful
ne,ss. But don't gamble.—State Guard.
We can assure the editor of 'the
State Guard that his views, as stated
aboVe, are correct. Mr. Meek can
not produce the names of five men,
nor of two ; not even of one man
who has heretofore acted with the
Republican party, who will vote this
fall for Seymour and Blair. Mr.
Meek knows that there is no truth
in his statement. Ho is merely
whistling to keep his courage up.
He is trying to practice the game 'of
brag. You cannot get Mr. Meek to
bet. You cannot get the leaders to
bet onSeymour- carrying the State.
These Democrats blow bard, but
they will not -bet. They know as
well as we do that the changes are
all the other way- in ,this county.
Honest Democrats are declaring for
.Grant And Colfax by the score. We
are prepared, (have the money in
the First
. Tational), to, bet $14,000.
di' $ . 2;0;000 • that Grant will carry
Pennsylvania, and the same- amount
that Grant and Will : Ibe elect
ed. President and Vice President of
the IThitd.States.: And we are also
prepared to be Mr. Meek $5OO. or
$lOOO that he cannot name forty
three Republicans in the whole coun
ty of Centre that will vote for Sey
mour and Blair.
To the editor of the State Guard
we would say, the cause is prosper
ing admirably in this.cpunty, and . we
would advise you to - Pay but little
attention to the assertions of the
Watchman. Honest_ Democrats in
this county are losing :confidence in
its statements.
THE Irish Republicans of Chicago
organized a Grant and Colfax Club
in that city on Saturday last. Sev
eral stirring speeches were made by
prominent Irishmen. From one of
the most eloquent we . extract the
following :
"Schuyler Colfax could count up-.
on and would get the whole vote of
the intelligent Irish of the United
States, simply because, never since
this country became independent,
have we had shown us so . much
friendship, and friendship we did not
deserve, as by this great and good
Christian Republican.. His speeches
at our pic-nic and national demon
strations, his letters forwarding
money to aid our starving. kindred,
his public vindications of Fenianism
his open and avowed declaratson of
sympathy in the House of Represen
tatives-L-all have• been noted, and
like the records. of.the good man on
the book of time, shine out in all the
effulgence and beauty of noon-day's
summer sun. Contrast the actions
of this man with the actions of Ho
ratio Seymour, he that refused to
answer the letters of the Irish Exe
cutive Committee of the National
Fair, held- some time since in Chica
go, fearing that August Belmout, the
English banker, would stop the pap.
We know the Irish people are not
idiots ; all they, want is a plain state
ment of' facts, showing . them that
the Democratic party is run in the
interest of England, and that" 'Hora

Both machines has a straight short needle,
