Of moon-lit orange bow'ers ;

Another word to say ;

Heal Estate as a Resource.
Among the 'means adopted by the War
interest to "keep op the heart" of tLe peo
ple, aud stimulate the flagging zeal lor con
quest and devastation, is the effort to make
the nation believe that it is not mining it
self by enormous expenditure and waste,
far in excess of the annual earnings. The
shoddy interest, the contractors, the dispen
sers of Federal patronage, all play one
tune, and the burden of that is. the exhaust
less wealth of the country, the increase of
property by devastation, and the multipli
cation of population by wholesale slaugh
ter in tbe field. Like the parasites that sur
rounded a prodigal heir whom they have
within their toils, they encourage his riots
and waste, and threaten vengeance on any
who call bis attention to his approaching
ruin. They don't want his "credit shaken"
until the utmost dollar is squeezed from the
deluded victim, when he is kicked into the
street with the "admonition r "More fool
you." v
Some ten days since we pointed out tbe
fact that the promises of the Government
already exceed the resources of the nation,
and that the gulf yawns before os. The
. troth of the picture startled public attention,
and already the shoddy interest' has rallied
to the charge with such energy as it can
master. To the crude notions of The Com
mercial we have replied, bot numberless
other attempts are made to persuade the
people that lavish debt is a means of wealth.
One of them, in the form of a pamphlet, is
pcfled in The Evening Post; which, while
winking at the deceptive statements, takes
good care not to indorse them. .We will
examiue the leading point. The official
report of the amount of Federal debt out
standing, is as follows :
. Increase.
June 30, 1862, 514,211,371
June 30, 1863, 1?098,93,I87 $584,581:8I6
June 30, 1864, 1,792,867,840 694,074,653.
This does not include the debt, but simply
the amount of paper actually ouisianding
at each date. The increase is progressive,
and at the same rr.tio the amount wiil be
52,600,000.000 July 1865, and 83,500 000,
000 July, 1, 1866. The pamphlet to which
we allude assumes that the debt in 1866
will be S3,000,000.000. The population of
the Northern States in 1860, per census, was
20,057,356, and the ratio of increase for ten
years of the largest immigration ever known
was thirty-seven per centum. At the same
ratio of increase the population would now
be 22,000,000 , but aOO.OOO of the most ac
tive mea have been destroyed in tbe war,
and the immigration has been much less
than before.' Hence the population may
now be rated at 21,000,000, and tbe exist
ing debt August ninth at S90 per head, or
S455 every Northern family $27 30 per
annum tax. This is simply the annual in
terest on the existing debt. In 186P, if the
expenditures are not increased,the debt will
be $3,500,000,000; or Sl7d per head, or $8
50 each family, or S51 per annum interest.
The expenditures of tbe Federal Govern
ment will swell the amount 8102 each fam
ily per annum. The London Economist of
July 16 contaioa official figures showing the
ioterest of the public debt to be 850 per
family of five; that of France, 25; and
that of Holland, 37. The pamphlet to
which we reier makes the United States in
terest 85 per head, and undervalues all oth
ert in proportion.
. Having performed this feat, he proceeds
to show what enormous resources there are
to pay with-. In the first place, he assumes
that if the Union is restored the Southern
debt, devastation and losses, will be ignor
ed, and the whole Sooth, with its former
productions, applied exclusively to Nor
thern debt and profits. This is utterly ab
surd on. its face. The crowning error of
this and similar efforts is, however.to show
extravagance to be the true road to wealth,
and is expressed in the following lines
"Supposing fb9 rebellion t termintte at
or before the close of ; 1865, the population
of the restored Union (which was 31,500,
000 in 1860) lo be 34,000,000, the debt S3,
000 000,000 and the value of the real and
personal property of the seceding States to
be somewhat less than tha: prior to 1860 (i.
e., 85,000,000,000), then tbe value of the
real and personal property of the whole
Union would be about 821,579,000,000;
I the average wealth per capita 634,52 ; tbe
average debt per capita $82.''
Tbe erroneous estimate ol the amounts
of debt we have already explained. It wiil
I be observed that the whole fabric ol the ar-
I : . . . ... . 1 ' ..
guiiieni luriiaon ma mecnpi tu uiuuco mo
unthinking public to regard tbe income val
ue of real estate as a recourse for the pay
ment of debt. There is only one possible
resource for the payment of taxes, and that
is a proportion of the annual production
The value of real estate ia only an indica
tion of the value of the production ; it can
in no way whatever be applied to the pay
ment of debt ; of tha anneal production, a
very small portion is applicable to the pay
ment of debt, because nearly all tbe pro
duction is consumed in producing it. The
ceuu gives all the Northern personal prop
erty, or the surplns of the earnings over
consumption, at 82,700,000.000 saved from
all sources in two hundred years, when
comparatively no Federal taxes were exac
ted. If in the last ten years the people had
been compelled to pay 8210,000,000, as
will be the care in 1866, the amount paid
would have been 82.100.000,000, or more
than the surplus savings of tbe last fifty
years !
Those not accustomed to reflect upon the
.operation of taxes are easily misled by tbe
sophistry ol The Commercial and other
radical papers in relation to tbe value of
real estate as a resource. Suppose an em
igrant moves West and boys one hundred
acres for 8125, and farms it. That land ha
bad no valne since tbe flood until he gets
.his. first crop from it. In Eve years it will
be valued by the State at 81,000, 810 per
acre, and the Federal Government will tax
the family 8 100. Now it is obvions at once
that there is no'potsible means of paying
tbe tax but by sale of part of the crops.
The farm may be valued atSl,C00 or 8100,
000 it can pay no tax except from its pro
ducts. If the crop fails it cannot pay at all.
If the taxes increase they can bo met only
by reducing tbe quantity consumed by the
occupant. The same rale applies to the
whole $20,000,000 000 paraded as the val
oe of real estate. If an individual wants
to sell his farm, he can get its value from
a noiber individual. But the aggregate of
farms have no value beyond their produce.
The same with a Government Stock. It is
tased, but ihe tax must come oat of the in
terest it bears.. Yon cannot tax to the full
amount of the interest and then Doint to

she concluded it must have discharged pre

The Democracy Should Organize.
t. .:
Not a moment should be bot ia organiz
ing the Democratic party, in every town
ship, ward or district ia tbe State. In every
school district there should be formed a
Democratic Association, and the school
bouses are good places to meet in. Get
your neighbors, whatever may be their po
litical creed, tc come in and hear, and even
allow them to join decourously in the dis
cussions. Take several good, sound Dem
ocratic papers in these associations, and
thus became acquainted with the move
ments of the day, and be enabled to meet
your opponents with facts and arguments.
To facilitate this important and vitally
necessary step, we have drawn up and give
below a form ol a Constitution, which may
be varied according to the circumstances of
the case.
The Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee has desired us to ask of
every Democratic paper in the State to pub
lish this Constitution, and urge the forma
For the well ordering of the Association,
we agree to and adopt the following regula
tions :
1. The Association shall be known and
styled the here insert the name agreed
upon of hare insert the name of the
township, ward, or district in whish it is lo
cated 2. Stated meetings "of tbe Asuociation
shall be held on the first Saturday evening
of every month throughout the year. Spe
cial meetings may be called by the Presi
dent or by adjournment at any meeting, to
a time and place certain.
3. The officers of the Association shall
be a President, Vice President, a Secretary
acd Treasurer. The two last named offi
cers, at the will of the Association, may be
given to one person. The duties of the
several officers respectively shall be such
as usually appertain to such stations.
4. Every person on becoming a member
of the Association, shall pay to the Treasu-
rer thereof the sum of, and the fur-
ther sum of monthly, until otherwise
ordered by a vote ol the members. Tbe
money thus raised to be devoted to procur
ing for the use of the members ot the As
sociation such books, pamphlets, or papers
as may be ordered by a vote or to such oth
er purposes consistent with the objects of
the Association, at may be approved of by
a vote oitbe members present at any stated
or special meeting ; and the money shall
be drawn only on orders 6igned by the
President, indicating the purpoie of the ap
propriation. 5. This Constitution may be amended at
any stated or monthly meeting, by a vote
of a majority of the members, present.
. NAMES OF MEMBERS.
Dr. Franklin, when a child, found tbe
long graces said by bis father very irksome.

heaJ of affairs? Who are uthe ? How
often are Democrats pointed to Stanton and
Holt and Halleck and Dickenson and now
Andy Johnson with the remark Democrats
run the machine. Who does not know
that they hold their positions on the .lacil
bargain to screen the men and the macs
urea they have, their whole lives locg, con
damned; that they hare to bend aud cringe
to the real engineers, that it is a. mockery,
an insut, to call their adhesion to Mr. Lin
coin that of Democrats. They are Democrats
no longer ! They have been powerless but
to do tbe ruinous work of carrying out Abo
lition measures, and the whole country
knows it ; and no Democrat, for a moment
will accept one of them as an exponent.
The real engineers are well known ; their
theories and. their objects. They are the
same Abolition setithat every. Democratic
National Convection that ever met charac
terized and denounced as enemies of the
Constitution and tbe Union. One. of them
is Charles Sumner, with bis Cosmos theory
of the Sooth, as clean as a sheet of white
paper, and he a second Locke to write all
over it a new law. Where in God's name,
is there the first.sign of any hope whatever
of peace on this theory ? There ia Henry
Wilson; and he has a hundred times over
pledged himself to work until the sen shall
rise on no roaster and set on no slave.
How can he bring on peace? Is not the
moral force of bis whole pa6t arrayed in
phalanx against him ? There is William
H. Seward, who reiterated Rufus King's
idea that, as to a citizen's rule .in civil af
fairs there is a higher law than the Consti
tution, and who sanctions the whole line of
Abaham Lincoln's transactions, can he
make peace? Who supposes it possible
for him to do it? Is he not the accredited
father of the irrepressible conflict doctrine?
Did Helper, and the John Brown class of
small Abolition demagogues, do more than
put his volcanic words into acts of blood ?
can he. give peace to the country.. But fur
ther ; tbe doctrines of Garrison are now the
doctrines at the top. Hasjnot this man, for
thirty years, literally cursed and swore
against the J Union ? Has. he not cenlinaally
called it a covenant with death and an
agreement with hell This man of peace,
with words of blood on bis tongue, has no
hand for the rifle to go to the front, but
stays behind where oafety is, and urges
schemes that turned this land into a holo
cast of "blood. Is there a peace element in
him or bis theories ? God forbid that he
should be an, agency for peace !, Once more
and go to the head; Did not Abraham Lin
coln annoence that this country must be all
lave or all free? With this well known,
a party took this man as their candidate,
and though adroit and deceptive, and ma
king nothing of solemn pledges to others,
he has beeu true to this idea trne to Phil
lips, Garrison, Wilfon and the Abolition
conspirators. As the Chief Magistrate of
tbe country, speaking not in accordance
with law or the Constitution, bot on his so
called military necessity principle, he dares
to tell this nation there shall be no peace
until his partizan tslk.to get political power
is realized, until great communities change
their local law, until slavery is dtroyed !
American citizen, bow can there possibly
be peace with this class of politicians in
power wielding the parse and the sword
the vast naval and military power of this
nation ? Look for the milk of human kind
uess ic the wolf, but do not look for peace
so long as Mr. Lincoln ia al the head of
affairs.
The first step in the direct.on of peace,
on the basis of the Constitution and the
Union; is to change the National Admins
iration. Let every good citizen rouse up
his genius to effect this work. It is Ihe on
ly path sf honor or to peace.
Training Rots. A lady correspondent,
who assumes to know-how boys ought to
be trained, writes to an exchange as fol
lows: "O mothers! hunt out the soft, tender,
genial side of your, boys' natures. Make
the most of any gentle taste or comely pro
pensity. Encourage tbem to love flowers,
pictures and all the beautiful things which
God has made. Talk with them, read with
them, go out with them into the fields and
woods, and hallow pleasant scenes with
holy memories. A daily ministration to
their unfurnished, hungry minds, a daily
touch to their unformed taste, shall make
them more comely than costly garments.
They will ever bear you witness in the
character and conduct of your children;
but your Isces and embroideries will crum
ble to dust. Why don't mothers teach
their children more and dress tbent less?"
Truth. Truth ia the most potent enemy,
the most dreadful foe of Mr. Lincoln's ad
ministration, acd will prevail against all
his efforts to stifle its clarion tones, that
sink like poisoned arrows deep into the
coward hearts of the usurpers at Washing
ion. Oh a tombstone in a church-yard in Ul
eter, England, is the following epitaph
"Erected to the memory ot John Phillips,
accidentally shot aa a mark bl affection by
bis brother." -
A Great Charge Taking Place. .
The man wh.o does not see that a great
reaction is going on in the minds of the
people against the present, Administration
is either blinded by parti sanism or is an
indifferent observer of what is going on
about him. The people are sick and tired
of the jokes of Abraham Lincoln, and de
mand statesmanship.
The follies and extravagance of his Ad
ministration are such as to disgust many
honest men of his own party, who will ei
ther vote for Fremont, or join the Democrat
ic party, who want a man at tbe head -of
the nation who will administer ..the laws
impartially, will protect the rights of cit
izens, enforce the Monroe doctrine, and
seek a speedy peace upon an hocorable
basis. That there will be a change, .this
fall, in the national administration seems to
be a fixed fact. It is rigbt. loo, for it ia on
safe, t.p trust such a man as Lincoln, with
hundreds of millions of patronage,, with
the administration ot the Government for
four years longer. If be is re-elected do
man bern can tell the fate of our distracted
country. Lancaster Intelligencer.
Sevsntt fivl Thousand Tons or Human
Blood. A writer in the Jefferson Coonty
Union, baa made tome calculations relative
to tbe number of men killed thus far ia tbe
war. and gives the following interesting
ilema:
There has been enough already slain to
encircle our State if their dead bodies were
laid in one continuous line.
If they were placed incoffias and cord
ed, they would count thirty-nine thousand
cord"- i. , 0...!!
If laid in a wall twenty-fire feet thick
and thirty feet high, it would be orer one
and ooe-fourtb miles.
If fire feet thick and ten feet high the
pile would reach across tbe State. t
If piled upon a ten acre lot, they would
be nearly two hundred feet high.
And ii laid upon the ground, they wosld
corer erery foot cf soil in Jefferson county.
Soventy-five thousand tons of human
blood hare been spilled on Dixie soil
enough lo turn erery spindle in Lowell,
and if the tears were added lo the flood it
would turn the machinery of the continent ;
and the unavailing sighs would fill erery
ocean saiL , .
The one half has not yet been told. Tbe
millions of wounded and maimed for life
most be taken into account in somming up
the grand total of erila iocideul to this
bloody fanatical wat.
And the end is not yet.
Dawmno Rcason. Dr. O. Brownson was
one of the distinguished speakers at the
Fremont ratification meeting, in New Vprk.
He said .he voted for Buchanan) in l56,
which ho considered a 6ad operation, and
in I860 ha voted for Lincoln which be
thought was decidedly worse. He then
went on to say :
'Now I am ready to support any man
who will defeat Abraham Lincoln : Hisses
and applause. My first object the one
which lies nearest to my heart is to save
the integrity of the nation, to save the Un
ion and the Constitution, which has rords
its strength and its glory. I am ready to
support any party or any man Horatio
Seymour? yes.or Vallandigham. His
ses and cheers ; aye. or Fernando Wood
Good, and applause any man who can
defeat the re-election of Abraham Lincoln
Understand me ; while this is' my first ob
ject, to defeat the nominations of the Bal
timore Convention "Bully," and ap
plause I am ready to join with all bonert
all sincere and all earnest Americans or
American citizens who will defeat ShodJy
or Shoddy 'a defenders.'
Every Kaa'i Home his Castle.
The following is Lord Chatham's brilliant
illustration of the celebrated maxim of En:
glish law, that "every man's bouse ia bis
castle
"The psoreet man may, in his cottage,
bid defiance to all the forces of tbe
crown. It may be frail ; its root may shake;
the wind may blow through it ; the storm
may enter ; the rain may eater but the
King of England cannot enter; all hi
forces dare not cross the threshold of the
turned tenement 1"
We have no such castles in this "land of
the free," under .the best Government the
world has ever witnessed. Any man,
claiming to act under military orders, may
seize his papers, steal bis goods, and the
man that dare say, wrong has bean done,
is a branded Copperhead, unworthy the
choice blessings of free Government. This
is the proud lot of Americans to enjoy.
White men have no rights that oar Abo
lition Administration is bound to respect.

The man who wrote the 'four simple
lines, beginning with ''Now I lay me dowa
to sleep," seemed to do a very little thing.
He wrote four lines for his little child. His
name has not come down to ua ; but be bas
done more for the good of hie race than if
he bad commanded the victorions army at
Waterloo. The little fires which the good
man kindles here and there on the shores
of time aever go out, but ever and anon
tbey flame up aud throw light on the pil
