of the exchequer tells us the interest was 8131,800 090. Ours, when all srall be funded, will be nearly double. The plan we have proposed would pay at least three fourths of our debt The balance could be managed with our present taxa tion. While I hear it said everywhere that s-iavery is dead, J cannot learn who killed it. No thoughtful man litis pretended that Lincoln's proclamation, so noble in sentiment, liberated a single slave. It cxiresely excluded from its operation all those, witbiu our lines. No slave within the rebel States in our possession, or in Tennessee, but only those beyoud our limits and beyond bur power, were declar ed free. So" General Smith conquered Canada by a proclamation ! The Presi dent did not pretend to abrogate the laws of any of the States. " Restoration/' therefore, will leave the "Union as it was" —a hideous idea. I am aware that a very ablo and patriotic gentleman, and learned historian, Mr. Bancroft, has at tempted to place their freedom on differ ent grounds, lie says, what is undoubt edly true, that the proclamation of free dom did not free a slave. Hut he liber ates them on feudal principles. Under the feudal system, when a king conquers his enemy, he parceled out bis lands and | conquered subjects among his chief re- j tainers; the lands and serfs were held on [ condition of fealty and rendering milita ry service when required. If the aubor- j dinate chief sebelled. be broke the con dition on which he held them, and the ! lands and serfs became forfeited to the j lord paramount. But it did uot free the ; serfs. They, with the manor, were be- i stowed on their favorites. But the anal- j ogy fails in another important respect. — The American slaveholder does uot hold, by virtue of any grant from any lord j paramount—least of all by a grant from the General Government. Slavery ex ists by no law of the Union, but simply j by local laws—by the laws of the States, j Rebellion against the national authority is a breach of no condition of their ten ure. It were more analogous to say that rebellion against a State under whose iaws they held might work a forfeiture. But rebellion against neither government would per se have any such effect. On whom would the lord paramount agaiu bestow the slaves? The thenry is plans i:le, but has no solid foundation. The President says to the rebel States, 1 liefore you can participate in the gov iiincut you must abolish slavery and ro le rm your election laws." That is the •miiiarid of a conqueror. That ii re iiisiruction, not restoration—reconstruc in, too, by assuming the powers of Con gress This theory will lead to melancholy results, Nor can the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery ever be ] ratified by three-fourths of the States, if i they are state* to be counted. Bogus : Conventions of those states may vote for j it ; but uo Convention houestly and iair ly elected will ever do it. The frauds will not permanently avail, l'he cause of liberty must rest on a firmer basis. Coun terfeit government, like the Virginia, Louisiana, Teunessec, Mississippi, and Arkansas pretences, will be disregarded by the sober sense of the people, by future law, and by the courts. " Restoration" is replanting the seeds of rebellion, which i within the next quarter of a century will germinate and produce the nunc bloody strife which has just ended. If the South is ever to be made a safe republic, let her lands bo cultivated by the toil of the owers, Or the free labor of intelligent citizens. This must be done eveu though it drive her nobility into exile. If they go, all the better It will be hard to persuade the owner of ten thousand acres of land, who drives a coich and four, that lie is uot degraded by sitting at the same table, or iu the same pew. with the embrowned and hard handed farmer who has himself cultiva ted his own thriving homestead of one hundred and fifty acres. This subdivision the lands will yield ten bales of cotton to Jtne that is made now, and lie who pro duce it will owu it and feel himself a man It is far easier and more beneficial to exile 70,000 prcud, bloated and defiant rebels than to expatriate 4,OO0;OOO of laborers, natives to the soil and l:yal to llie government. This latter scheme was .a favorite plan of the Blairs, with which they had for a while inoculated our late gainted President. But a single experi ment made him discard it and his advis » crs. Since I have mentioned the Blaiis, i may say a word more of these persist ant apologists of the South, For, when the virus of slavery has once entered the veins of the slaveholder, no subsequent effort seems capable of wholly eradicating it. They .are a family of considerable power, some merit, of admirable audacity .and execrable selfishness. With impet uaus alactity they seize the White House and hold possession of it, as in the late administration, until shaken off by the overpowering force of public indignation. Their pernicious counsel had well nigh defeated there election of Abraham Lincoln ; and if it should prevail with the present administration, pure and pat riotic as President Johnson is admitted to be, it will bo the mostunpopular Execu ' tive—save one—that ever occupied the Presidential chair. But there is no fear of that. He will soon say, as Mr. Lincoln did, "Your time has come. Let us forget all parties and build on the broad platform of "reconstructing" •ifie government out of the conquered ter ritory converted into new and free States and admitted into the Union by the sov ereign power of Congress, with another plank—■"Thj; property of the rebels shall pay our national debt, and indemnify ■fjeedmcn and loyal sufferers, and thai arnder®o circumstances will we suffer the national debt to be repudiated, or the interest scaled below the contract rates; nor permit any part of the rebel debt to be assumed by the nation." Let all whe approve of these principles rally With us. Let all others go with Copperheads and rebels. Those will be the opposing parties. Young men this duty devolves on you. Would to God, if whereto be found," whereupon a wag in the crowd suggested that, possibly, he was still engaged in the mastication of that Hog which annoyed his digestive or gan last fall. After'it was evident that none of our native Democrats wished to identify themselves with the meeting, an adjournment was moved and carried unan imously. Rebel Sympathizers*. We give on our first page a synopsis of the speech of Hon. Thadeus Stephens, delivered at Lancaster on the Gth of last mouth ; as tfce same appeared in the Un ion Ueridtl of last week—prefaced by the remarks of that paper, for the purpose of I showing our readers the judgment of that paper, and those sympathizing with it, In reference to the umtmeut tif rebels and reb«J property 1 Mr..Stephens seems to favor the policy of expatmilinu; the lead ing rebelstind tonfiscating their property, a»d applying the proceeds of the sale to the reduction of our national debt,&c. He also declares against the Federal Govern mentever assuming any of the rebel debt. This seems to be tho head nud front of hig offending! It is because of this that our neighbor sees lit tore produce this speech iu its columns ! .for the purpose, as it says, of letting its readers see u the depth of degrcdation and barbarism, to which this old bruit has sunk." When, in the early part of the war, rebel lines unbroken, prevented our ad vance into Southern Territory, no set of men in our section were moie elamerons tor the destruction of rebel property than our Copperhead neighbors. "Why don't the government make clean work of it?" " Why leave a portiou of our army guard ing towns and plantations '( reduce them to ashes and they will take care of them selves." These were tho profaueil senti ments of this party, at least in our vicin ity. Few thought them sincere then; all know now that they were but acting the hypoctito» The truth is, they have been the fast friends of the South all the i way through. Well did Mr. White— a delegate in the recent convention in Ala abama declare " I am sure those who had j been faithful to oUr political pledges and I adhered to our political principles, wouid ! have saved us in 18(50—the Northern i Democracy. " "And after four years of I separation—four years of national suffer- ; ing and calamity—four years of battle ; and bloodshed—when the clash of arms has ceased and the clouds that intervened and obscured our vision have passed away we behold still proudly floating" (!)''aiuid the ruin and desolation of war, the ban ner of the Northern Democracy." Yes, Southern rebels may well still cling with fondness to the Northern Democracy,— 112. r four years of war—cruel devastating war have not beon sufFcient to slacken the chords by which they have beeu at tached, to their "Southern brethren."— This close attachment alone can account for the sadness that was so visible on their countenances when the glorious news of n grand union victory reached us. It was this feeling that inclined our neighbor to lend the use of its colutns to " Observ. or." to growl at our rejoicing over the fall of Richmond. A Word to Swlrtlernt There is no fact better established than that, from the beginning to the end of the war, the leaders of the Democratic party have been in sympathy with the rebel lion ! and that to a great extent this sym pathy was common also to a largo portion of the rank and file of the party, Ultra Southern ladies could scarcely excel them in their utterances of contempt for the Union army ; and their want of confidence in its courage and heroism. Now that the war is over—that it was foujrht thro' on the old "line" they effect, great respect for those who done the work. N&t un frcquently giving one of the officer « a nomination on their ticket—especially if the district is against them. But where yet have tliey thus honored one from the ranks—a priv. Iso 'lie 1 Far otherwise with the Republican party. It has filled our Court House with soldiers, the most of whom wore no badge of rank. Our only object has been to reward merit, whether wearing "shoulder straps" or not. Wo would advise all soldiers to consider well before casting a vote outside of tho party which has been his friend through danger and hardships, as well as when his sky was bright and ominous of vioto ry and honor. We speak thus plainly now, because an effort has been made to divert the sympathy of the soldier to the support of Col. Sirwell! A few Repub licans of the 78th met by invitation is tho office of Lewis Z. Mitchell, Esq.,—-six in all! The meeting was organized,as wcare informed,by appointing >lr. D. 11. Mackey President,and Mr John Shirley,Secretary, after which the following resolutions, iu tho handwriting of L. Z, Mitchell, Esq., was offered and adopted. " Rooked, That we, in exercising our rights as citizens, will give the prelerenco to such candidates for office* of honor, trust, or profit, as served their coun try bravely in the field during the late war against the rebellion.

ANDERSON — J tear Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 16th inst.', inclosing .liffieial evidence, that Michael Fair—who was drafted from Jefferson Township, Butler Co., 23d Dia. Pa., on the 15th day of July, 1803, and, who failed to report as required by notice— was at that timt serving as a private in Co. 11, 102, Keg. I'II. Vol., and for that reason not legally subject to draft. I have therefore corrected the record of this ciili ce accordingly, aud enclose herewith a certificate, relieving him from all liability to the penalties prescribed by the 21st section of the Act of Congress, approved March 3d, 1805. If there are auy others, whose nafnes are included in the list furnished under date of August 21st, that are shielded by excusable circumstances; it will afford me pleas ire to make the necessary cor rection, at any time they may produce the required evidence. It is the greatest desire of the Govern ment to protect, defend uud preserve the good name and character of all her duti fu and law abiding citizens ; which she, at the same time, has deemed it to be her duty to forever discard, and disowu as members of her household, all that cow ardly, degenerate aud skulking crew, who turned their backs upon her when called to her assistance in tlio hour of peril. Your Obedieut Servant J. W. KIUKKR. Capt. and Provost Mar., 23d Dis, Pa. Tlie Albany Kuinillo. The study of Now York Democratic politics has always been considered among the mostdifticu.t of the known sciences; and we have as much trouble in under standing Cohvention and Committee rid dles, as in solviug the tricks of a prac ticed juggler. The consolation is»that the whole- thing is a juggle; and altho' wo arc told that the ball is under a cer tain cup, and have the manifest evidence of our senses that it is there, we feel sure that it has been dexterously transferred to auother. How to say on tiling and mean another—how to write a resolution that shall be Conservative in Ouedia. Copper head in New York and Union in Buffalo how togo back upon every spoken and printed pledge—how to bo pro-Slavery to day and anti-Slavery to-morrow—are gifts so eminontly Democfatiu that we have ceased to give any leader of that party credit for the least sincerity. The art of paltering in a double sense has refined and perfected, and we have never had a better evidence of it than at the recent Democratic State Convention. For four years the leaders of the Dem ocratic party have been ongated in a war upon American freedom and have been the allies of Rebellion. When the eon test was purely militaiy, aud the issue uncertain, they preferred to assail the Ad ministration iu every way,-to ridicule its Generals, depreciate its victories and ex aggerate its defeats. When the angry patriotism of the American people was dialing at the tardiness of MoClellan and lhiell, thoy took the cry and went into power as zealous advocates of the war.— When many defeats had saddened the American heart and there were signs of weaiiness, and even surrender, they pro-, claimed the war a failure, and, selecting its most conspicu' us failure as a leader, undelivered to grnsp power. -Men who deal thus with public events cannot be trusted. The Democratic leaders who saw in Lord Lyons (the embassador of a nation which opposed America) a fit per son for couusul, hail certainly schemes of their own. antagonistic to the dignity of America. We believe the purpose of these lenders—tbeir dream and hope and ambition—was to profit by the failure of the war aud the dissolution of the Amer ican Union. The growth of the Itepul) licau sentiment had left them no future in the North, and, rather than go into a minority of hunger and weakness, with out office or the good things office givos, they hoped for a downfall of the Federal Union, the dismissal of the New England Status, and a coirsolidatiou with the South as the 'Members of a slave-sustaining Un ion. They wanted po .ev; and sinco there was no reigniug in Uoiuc, Home must bo ruined. The end of the war, and tho concilia tory policy of President Johnson, gave thuui hope, while it destroyed all their former schemes. Instead of goiug to Washington and claiming Executive par don, or retiring forever from n public life that had been one career of shame and duplicity, they instantly claimed Johnson us their friend and brother. This man, who had been denounced and assailed with beastly aud indecent rhetoric, was claimed at once as a Democrat of the school of Seymour and Tilden. They did not succeed in slaying him in 1804, aud so they would take bodily possessing of him iu 1805, that they might use him as a giver of offices—their ercatuft in power. In Pennsylvania, Ohio and New- Jersy the Democracy did not go so far, because in those States, whatever faults the leaders have committed, they have never been insincere. They hate the present Administration, and do not find it so easy to change from cursing to coo ing—from defamation to praise. Wo do the leaders of the party here, or, at least, a part of them, the justice to be believe that they were sincere in the same belief. If Mr. Cassidy and Mr. .Comstock had had their way in Albany—if Seymour's advice had been taken—we should have asimilar exhibition. JJut the hungry meu were ravenous, aud insisted that the whole past should be disowened and betrayed, that Mr. Marble might have a share in public plunder,-and Mr. Haskin welcome access to the Presidential presenece.— When they passed upon a platform we wire amazed. Are these men who toss op thoir huts in favor of the "boorish tail or" Johnson, and find no one competent to lead unless he has been in the hateful Abolition war. the men nlio havc9houted defeat at the iiriund of every pun, and cried surrender whenever Leo drew his sword ; who stimulated ri.>t when the army wanted soldiers, and increased taxation by forcing upon us immense bounty-loans! 1 The very sainc ! Seymour, aod Tilden, and Barnard, aud Green, and Clark, and Richmond, are the very men who rose in theChlcirfgp Convention te welcome Mr. Valloudigham, and shout hosannuhs to Alexander Long. The very same. They wear different raiment, and more complai sant visages. but the hoof remains I Their Albany demonstration is a swin dle. If-the word is offensive we are sor ry, but it is tie true one. Mr. Ilaskin tells us that ho and his friends forced President Johnson upon the party against the protests of the leaders. The hungry men. those who looked with greedy aud restless oyes upon pow. r were with lias kin, and their hungry and clamorous ap pealing appalled those who would have paused. But while profiting by Ilaskin's audacity, and claiming to be of his tho't, they have tot forgotten what was due to Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.— II Mr. Haskiu had any such reverence we should not know what we know, lie wishes to divide the ties that bind New Vork to the other States, and so tells-the Democrats elewhere, in the most cm phot ic and offensive terms, that they are little more than symdathizers with Secession. No wonder that this uuusual frankness should bring upon him the chiding of The HWW. Whom are we to believe? On one side we see Haskiu denouncing and repudiating the St:ites which relu'sed to sustain Johnson ; on the other side we find Tilden and CWid.ty insisting that Ohio Democracy and New Yn it i')em. e racy are the same; that V.illiu .Jiaui Heed of Pennsylvania aud VYal'l <>i New Jersey are men like (Jeueral Sloeuui and \an Buien.

A cursory glance at a j single number of The Tribune shows u« how swiftly tho nation, escaping from the enormous expenditure of war, is pub lic safety has consumed. The country I may be compared to a great ant-hill, ot which the swarming inhabitants rapidly and wisely repair damages, and speed ily return to the work of provision— Tho paper promises of all kinds of the !

There is no fear of depreciation, j There is confidence everywhere among a people proverbially sharp and suspicious in all matters of money. At the reception of the Knglish rail way delegetion at Toledo, lajt week, Sir Morton I'etosaid that •half the truth had not been told him respecting the resourc es of the country or the profits to be ob tained from a judicious investment of cap ital."

Now, if this prosperity brought merely physical coui : forts and immunities, it would still have I its value ; but that we will not now eon | sider. We are glad that the nation is wealthy, because its wealth enables the nation fo be just. In other lands, the many have starved because tho few were 1 rich ; but here, because tho great minori ty is rich, the less wealthy majority earns fair wages, and has bread enough and to spare. We have thus guardod to a great extent, against the selfishness of classes, and against domestic jealousies tending to civil commotion. More than this, it was the absence of pinching .poverty which permitted the yeomanry, the merchants, the mechanics of this country to protest, without fear, against a system of compul sory and unrequited labor. The slave holder thought that we needed his eoun tenance and his crops, Uad we been poor, had we absolutely needed either, we might have been deaf to the voice of pity, and dumb dogs still. We all know for how many years we were frightened into a mean acquiescence in a great wrong.— Thank God the temptation can never come again j!
