Its lessons tttach us that it required all the strength of a united North to preserve the Union and uphold the Government. We /Lad at Out commenoentost et Our war a unwed No, ti,. The culmination of treason, in its attack on Fort Sumter, kindled a blaze of indignant patriotism over the whole North, East and West. All merely partisan feeling was merged in higher and nobler impalsee.— All good and true men, in imitation of their ancestors at Concord and Lexington, in 1776, rushed to arms or contributed money. Then, we were in the language of Mr. Jefferson, "all Republicans—all Fetlerais," or in other language "all Re publicend—all Democtats." For the first year the war had, with few exceptions, the hearty support of Loth and all political parti. s. It was prosecuted earnestly, but with indifferent success—with more heart than head—more zeal than knowledge.— We had gallanpiroops,commanded by in capable genera , made 0, probably, by newspaper and other interference At any rate, the ill-success of our armies caused popular impatience, of which those ultra anti slavery views enabled the seces sion leaders to mass the sentiments of the Cotton States, availed them elves to Im part an Abolition character to the war. The evidence before us—in the rivers of blood shed, and the millions of treasure expended—that the preservation of our Union and Government demand the best and united energies and efferts of the whole People, is valueless. What all, united, have so far tailed to accomplish, the Abolition Chiefs and Journals insist upon undertaking as a Party. They de mand that the War shall be' prosecuted under their auspice*, and for their purpos es. They object to co-operation, except upon their own terms. Men's opinions, on the Slavery queeta.n.

Would they, if they co ld ? Who can auswee Can they, if they would ? No !no ! It will then he too late." I■ a speech of lir. Spaulding, a posymbasitt Republican member of Congress, sad* a few days ago, be said : ..We would sot shut our *yam to the vast/um of the volume of DEBT thit was open b*fore us. It was very roan mad* apparent that oar national debt would, at an sar4 dv, reach TWO THOUSAND MILLIONS 01 DULLA3B equal to half th• debt of Great Britain." If (says the N. Y. World) Mr. Spaulding had perceived the fell algid's:awe of this 0011- pariton to the enormous public, debt of great Britain--a debt which has so Was bosh tai finanoisi weeder of the worts—.he would have added that, in the permute of the besdee. ear debt would be net half eysid, but/slip *pea to that of England, inasmuch as the Utter/don our: is at twice as AlgA • rate And this atag gerbil resalt.will be ruched b 7 the sad of the Anal year for 'which it is the duty of Oestrus et this widen to provide; that le to gay, oat the 3Otlt t el June, 1884 Tke fdliowiag brief paragraph from Mr. 1 t t it idiag's speech embodies etatemesita on • cry eallectiaLman in the soden wi ll do_ o ponder: time bee arrived whoa our Inanees no tame the earnest sad united attendee of ail loyal represeatatives. We were la great t Lest year, but our dangers are now two what they were then. It was very diflimdt fast par to provide the money to meet the tiletappropriations made for the support of 1147 spa navy. 41 will be etill more dif -leifit, the salaried renaleemeats Of the intilliftt and the next fiscal year? • The tunny bill Itintie appropriates over $781,000,000, wit add ed to the estimates of all o ther . :- for the EICILI year *alas Jena 80. 8' ilfi -- ansennt•te the enormous sum of $1,096,- 481.188 58, to which must be added she exit PSI ired for appropriation@ 1bw...,. q of tbef" per cieditileJamsoliklifillit. am* .7 1 . according to the tepee( of the , • . , the Treasury, amounted cm the lot of Decem ber to the sum of $664,221,131 6s. Maki/4 the whole aggregate required to meet appro priations during the next eighteen wake, $1,1340,684,815 16." Dividing this enormous stun, whit& the Gov eminent must raise within the ensuing eight een months, by the twenty millloas of la habitants on whom the burden will fall. gives something more than eighty-two dollars foe each Individual of the population. The •ir nificance of thin result will not be adeeptately perceived unless we consider that only a true Lion of the population either own property or earn wages We will assume that tee aver age type of our population is a tonally made up of the two parents and three children ; that. is, of one persoi who earns money to every five consumers. This estimate of the ratio of non-producers is doubtless tea low ; every town has a large number of aged and decrepit people, spinsters, coafirmed invalids, students, and young professional men who have not acquired a business sulllsient for their maintenance, to say nothing of paupers, the inmates of asylums sad other public in stitutions, transient foreigners in oar large cities, and the soldiers that make up our brave armies. Skit taking the low estimate we have adopted, which makes the average type of our population a family of Ave per sons, of which ou) , the bead own* property or earns money, tin' - share of each such indi vidual in the expenses of the next eighteen months is $4lO. If every snob head of a small family were notified to-morrow that he must give to the Government within that period the 5 0... a ft4lo, there would be sad t...tes at auk frugal family dinner. To furnish such a sum-would be felt to be entirely im possible. If-it fell only on one such family in ten, or 'one suet' family in five, by diet of scraping together and borrowing, the requiki- Lion might be met. But when every frugal faintly in the land is under as equal neoessuy of borrowing, selling superfluous articles, or, appealing to the lenity of creditors,. a man cannot depend on his neighbors to help him through, as he would in an emergeriel which fell on hint alone. It may be said that the Government does not ask him to pay that much, only to lend it ; but it really amounts to the same thing. Pay it he ultimately must, together with the iaterest on it, unless the nation disgraces itself by repudiation ; and if procured ct a loci, sutadoody mast lend it. Those who neither pay nor lend are in the condition of a man who has gives his note, which is a mortgage on his income or his earnings until it is paid, the obligation of whiCh he can no more evade than he ma that of a note of band. Such, then, is the share .f ... th man in average circumstances of the ii ~ expenses of the next eighteen months, vii h a great debt already asentaulated, and a depressing future, certain to bring its own burdens, stretching beyond. Such linastnee stuns as those exhibited in the authentie figures of Mr. Spaulding merely awaken a vague feeling of astonishment, anal they are separated into fragments and each sasn's past of the burden brought home and laid at his own door. poi, The world wiU probably be girdled by the electric telegraph buttei the present year.
