THE YOUNG MEN OF THE COUNTRY
AN ARTICLE TRAT EVERY DEMOCRAT 'MOULD
REAP
It has been the great, we had almost said
fatal, mistake of the Democ.rfitic leaders• for
the past tvienty years, that in their zeal for
the preservation of our Republican govern
ment and the individual liberty which it
guaranties, (the extent and earnestness of
which cannot be questioned), they have
seemed Almost entirely to ignore the exist
ence of that very class upon whose interests
their labors had theTAtrongest-bearing. 'ln
saying this, we say nothing in derogation of
the motives or the patriotism of the men who
have shaped and controlled the action of the
Democratic party: Selfish and aspiring men
and demagogues, there have been among
them, as among the leaders of all parties at
all times, but we believe, taken as a whole,
theft: never has been% set of men truer to
their-Convictions of duty, 6r more earnestly
devoted to tho promotion of the national
welfare, than those who have led the van of
Democracy in its tremendous and still con
tinued conflict with modem Radicalism.
Radicalism in its warfare against constitu
tional lgovernment, with a far-sightedness
truly astonishing when we consider the pas
sionate vehemence of its action, has always
worked fully as much with a view to future
results as present success ; while the Demo
cratic party has exerted all its energies to
accomplish the prestint overthrow of Radi
calism, with no thought for future contin-
L
gender.
Beginning almost at the cradle itself, the
apostles of Radicalism have been assiduous
ly engaged in the work of instilling its de
structive principle• and poisonous doctrines
into the minds of the rising generation. while
the champions of Demo'cracy have been en
gaged in fighting the same on the stump and
tit the polls, While thus moulding and di
recting the minds of the children and youth
of our country, the Radical managers have
not failed to turn their attention to the young
men just stepping into active life, and the in
fluences which they have brought tobear up
on them have been most powerful and seduc
tive. Cunningly appealing to their pride
and flattering their• vanity and ambition,
they have attempted to teach them that Rad
' icallarn is, the master embodiment of progres
sive principles, that its followers constitute
the great progressive piety, par e reeltener the
young "men.' party of the age, and that the
' Democratic party is inimical to all timus
progre , tsion, irrevoc,thly wedded to the dead
past and utterly tmveless-of the inn re;t, _of
the future. , At the .sante time the controlling
spirits of the Democratic party have.brought
no counter influence m hear. They have
made 1M systematic efforts to gain the confi
dence and enlist the sympathies of the young
men in their cause, inadvertently giving by
their neglect in this regard, a greater appa
rent force to the arguments of their foes.
What wonder is it then, in view of these
facts, that great numbers of the young men
of our country, and particularly the less
thioughtful anti more impulsive portion,
should have joined the ranks of that party
which Ills 964 nsidioualy sought their, alliance ?
That they have done so is a lamentable truth
too evident to be questioned, realizing which,
the Democratic party, as a party, and its
leaders at this late day begin to see the error
into which they have fallen. it is too late
to avoid the disastrous consequences of past
mistakes, but. learning wisdom therefrom,
It. is not too late to make provision for the
future.
The Vining Men of America, those who
More than all others have their interests at
stake, must be made to know the real truth,
that in the triumph of the Democratic party,
and the predominance of 'its principles, lies
the only chance of national prosperity, lib
erty and peace. Their confidence must be
gained, their sympathies enlisted, their aid
sought. This can only be wou by reposing
confidence in them. It behooves the Demo s
cratic leadets, if they would ever see the
party 'triumphant, to acknowledge their mis
take and act in consonance with the teach
ings of experie_nee. Let the young men of
the teirty',7gA there are, thank Heaven, thou
sands of the most
,intelligent and thoughtful
. young men in the country (those who reason
and Judge of measures and principles for
themselves,) still left in its ranks, be made to
}eel that they are honored and trusted labor
ers in the Democratic cause, sharing alike
the honors and ' - responsibilities of the work
whose beneficial results are to accrue to
themselves and their countrymen in the
years of the future.
We would call upon the active young men
of the Democratic party, men confident of
their own capacities and understanding the
exigencies of the hour, to come forward to
the front, waiting not for invitation or solici-
tation. Let duty triumph over modesty. In
the advance guard of the Democratic hosts is
your place of right. Assume it fearlessly
and unhesitatingly, thus making yourselves
the champions of your own cause, -ant ef-
fectually removing the false yet apparently
Well grounded imputation which the foes of
the party have cast upon It, that it is hostile
to progress, inasmuch as young men have no
part or lot in its councils and its labors. It
is in your power by determined effort to
saveyour'party and your country. Let no
consideration , whatever deter you front the
work !
TILE NEGROEA of Georgia appear to be in
a somewhat rampant condition. They have
been making such frequent raids of late upon
the whites in the vicinity of Savannah that
the Mayor of that city found it necessary to
coMtniLsion a special police force for patrol
duty on the - outskirts of the city. A party of
these police, principally composed of German
farmers, uho were protecting their property,
tinder orders of the Mayor, on Saturday night
were tired upon by &band of about forty nc
groes lying in ambush, and the chief of the
police was' killed and three of his posse
wounded. Is it not time that the white citi
2.ela_S of the South were protected from the
brutality-of thelritiegro masters? Does not
the present t7gtetn of reconstruction require
tole remodeed, rather done away with

' e'r HS RADICAL Electoral College or this
State vs* in session a couple of hours.
They aPPested three Secretaries, not mem
bent of the bmv, and voted them $5O a piece
out of the Statigreasury, Besides these three
Secretaries the wenty-six electors were at
tended during thsix brief session by a Ser
khant-at-Anua, an Assistant Sergeant•at-
Arms, a Messenger, kvo Doorkeepers, two
Incidentals (whatever R e y may have been)
and three pages, to all ot whom liberal pay
Was voted out of the State Treasury. The
expenses of the few hours' session amounted
to something over $BOO. In little as in big
things the Radicals show their extravagance
and disposition to squander the public
money,
Su cz the CotllMencetnent of the present
session of Congress memorials have be en pr e .
• sented from different places, signed in all by
about two thousand persons, a majority of
whom are women, asking for female suffrage
in the District of Columbia. About two hun
dred pentane in Washington have memorial
ized to the same effect. There are six differ
ent measures before Congress involving fe:
male suffrage, including two propositions for
a constitutional amendment dxtending it
over We whole country, one billfor such ant
fru° in the Territories, and three bills for
attereo la the District of Colowhia.

A COMPARATIVE statement of the condi-
tion of the public debt on December 1,11%7 ,
with December 1,1868, shows the following:
On December 1, 1867, the amount of debt
less cash in the Treasury was $2,801,203,751;
on November 1,1867, it was $2,491,801,450
an itiereasb of $9,701,801, in which is included
the sum of $359,000 in bonds issued to the
Pacific Railroad companies. On the Ist of
December, 1868, the debt less cash In the
Treasury was $2,539,031,844; on the let of
November, 1868, It was *2,527,129452—an
increase of 811,902,202, including $2,1 , 13,000
n railroad bonds. An addition of nearly
twelve millions to the public debt in a single
month is calculated to startle thinking citi
zens. What becomes of all the fine spun
speeches with which Judge Scofield and other
radical speakers regaled their hearers before
election, to convince them that the debt was
very rapidly decreasing ?
THE OLD KNOW NOTHING SPIRIT.
Naturalization bills have been introlluced
in the Senate by Senators Yates, Frelinghuy
sen, and Morrill, and at least two bills have
been presented in the House. , All propose
that the proceedings shallbe confined to the
United States Courts, except that Mr. Mor
rill's bill permits them also to be had in the
"highest court of record of a State." Mr.
Yates's bill requires a residence of ninety
days, anti , the person to be naturalized shall
be a "free person" (as if we had any others.)
Mr. Frelinghuysen requires a residence of
four years and six months before the appli
cant can be admitted to citizenship, and al
lows adverse proof to be given by an oppos
ing citizen. At the end of one year and six
months, however, a preliminary adjudication
can be had that the applicant is "to become"
a citizen three years later.
CuMAIMING reports from Washington say
positiVely that Hon: Caleb Cushing is on his
way to Spain, on a spe s cial Mission from the
Department of State. It has only recently
become known that tlig object of his mission
is to arrange for the purchase of the Island
of Cuba feein the Spanish Government. It
is- underst6od that he is vested with full
power to close a bargain with the authorities
of Spain should that Government express a
willingness to sell. Mr. Seward's friends say
it is his earnest desire to connect' his retire
ment from the State Department with the ac
quisiition of the Island of Cuba. From the
revolutionary appearance of affairs there,
might it not be better to waitand see whether
-the pear will not drop into our basket, with
out a gilded pole being used to detach it
from the bough ?
TILE DECISION of the supreme Court of the
United States in the case now before that
body involving the constitutionality of the
Legal• Tender act, is looked forward to with
great anxiety. The Court has not ,met in
consultation yet, but it is expected to do so
during the present week. After a division
is had, several weeks will he consumed in
the preparation of the opinions. The rumor
that gains most ground is, that the Court
will decide the law to be unconstitutional,
and that Judge Chase will be alone in his
dissent. The effect of such a decision would
be universal. Gold would be the medium or
contracts Ina nu.siness, ann greennaeas
would be quoted at their value, just us they
are quoted in California and London at the
present time.

New York polls 200,000 more votes than
New England, but the latter has given 39
electoral votes to Gen. Grant, while New
York only gave 33 to Mr. Seymour. This
inequality of representation in the Electoral
College constitutes one of the reasons of Gen.
Grant's succeS.
THE coin snap' has set in with a charge
all along the line. From the frosty regions
of New England down R 9 far South as Sa
vannah, Ga., and Montgomery, Ma. ; along
the salubrious Mississippi Valley westward to
Missouri and Kansas,fthe king of the blue
noses and icicles has alreade extended his
dominion. At Kansas City, the border town
of the great prairies, NN here in summer the
•fierce heat drives man and beast into shelter,
the thermometer on Friday stood at fifteen
ilegre'es below zero, while in the Southern
cities of Montgomery and Savannah water
froze in the shade.
AT THE city elections in Boston and New
burvport, Mass,on Monday, the Democratic
candidates for Mayor were elected. In Bos
ton the Democratic majority exceeded 1,600.
It doesn't look as if Democracy were dead
yet, even in inn-cursed New England. We
wouldn't be surprised if it should Ro t tip iuch
a lively kicking in Pennsylvania next tall, as
to frighten the Radical majority out of exis
tenre.

Disgraceful scenes in Congress.
fN. Y. Herald, Dec-
The President's Message reached the Capi
tol to-clay shortly before one p. ro., in custody
of two of his Secretaries. It was first pre
seated in the Senate, and about ten minutes
later was announced in the House. Its re-
Ception in both branches was, to, put it in the
mitdest possible form, very extraordinary.
Defore.it was half read the fiery Conness, td
California, objected to listening to it any
longer, and a very flat debate followed, leav
ing the auditory rather in doubt as to vetted:ter
the dignified Senate approved the course 'of
the California Senator or condemned it.
Whether or not a ' majority of the T:pper
House sustained the extraordinary motion of
Mr. Conness, the result amounted to a sub
stantial victory for the anti-Johnson element
What they sought was to stay the reading of
the President's annual communication and
lecommendationx, and in this they certainly
succeeded. One of the honorable Senators
remarked tint it was evident from the dis
cussion tlags the session was destined to be
profitless, oad moved to adjourn, which was
declared canned, and the 'august assemblage
dispersed, some laughing as person s who had
achieved a very clever feat and others look
ing
thoughtful and serious: The result was !
brought about in . such an unusual manner
that no one present was sure whether any
decided die.respeet of the Executive was in
tended or uot. A notable feature of the per
formance was supplied by Senator Drake, of
Missouri. Drake, who, perhaps, is as radical
as Wendell Phillips himself, and who has
heretofore steadily planted himself foremost
in the front rank d President Johnson's op
ponents, raised his voice against the motion
of Mr. Coziness, and rather favored than
otherwhie hearing the entire Message read by
Secretary Gorham. Senator I ,3lorton, Red.,
interposed his objections, alsooo such an act
of flagrant disrespect to the Executive of the
nation, and in a most dispassioned tone en
deavored to point out to the Senate reasons
why so great a departure from the custom of
the body should not be . upheld. Old Simon
Cameron, however, came to the rescue of Mr.
Conness, and perhaps It was the fear that the
motion might be adopted that rekto so sad- k
den and unexpected an adjournment. This
result leaves the question In the condition of
unfinished business, which must come up
first thing to-morrow morning, and be met
fairly -and squarely. [On the next day the
Senate allowed the Message to be read, bit
refused to have the usual number printed.]
In the House, though the reading of the
Message was completed without interruption,
the disrespect was even greater than that
displayed by the Senate. During the rend
ing by Mr. McPherson, the Clerk of the
House, members employed themselves in
chatting and laughing, paying about as much
attention as is shown during discussions in
Committee of the Whole. When finally the
last sentence had been read by the Clerk, a
scene, not paralleled even by that which oc
curred when Boutwell made his famous ina
peachment speech that led to the subsequent
atmignment and trial of President Johnson,
followed. Washburne was apparen'ly dis
posed to be - moderate in his manoeuvres, but
the course subsequently pursued by Broom
all, of- Pennsylvania, and Schenck, of Ohio,
swept Washburne's modenitioi, completely
out of sight. Schenck was ferocious as a
bulldog, and moved that no printing of the
Message whatever be authorized. Broomall,
mounted on the Clerk's desk, "read his vitu
perative preambles and resolutions amid the
jeers of Fernando Wood and the rest of the
Democratic side, and -the scene altogether
was of a character more worthy of a bar
room on Water street than the Lower House
of Congress. The result of the whole: thing
was the half defeat of Schenck, who atten pt
ed to play the part of leader for the first
time since poor Old Thad's taking off, and
who put on all the airs and authority that
pertain_ to, that position. Schenck had to
yield to IVasht4ume's compromise resolution
in the end, which provided that, instead of
not printing the - Message at all, the -usual
I number be printed, but no extra copies.
[From the Lierer of Dec. 11th,]
the beginning f the present session
the disorderly conduct of members, while
business is being transacted, has been a sub
ject of general remark by persons frequent
ing the galleries. The scene presented re
sembles that of a large, noisy barroom more
than the chief Legislature of the nation .
Sometimes it is impossible for members to
bear their colleagues, sitting but a few seats
from them, though they scream at the top of
their voices. 'Speaker Colfax, who has here
tofoie prided himself upon his ability and
success tura presiding officer, seems to have
lost control of the House, and allows mem
bers to do about as they please.
Appropriate Comments. •
[From tile Lancaster
The present Congress has made itsellV
markable for a want of decency. On more
than one occasion the country has been
called upon to R itness the most indecent ex
hibitions by its members. The gross insult
odhred to the President when his annual
Message was being read 'cannot admit of ex
cuse. The Constitution thus defines one of
the duties of the chief executive :
" The President shall, from time to time,
give to the Congress information of the state
of the Union, and recommend to their con
sideration such measures as he MAU judge
necessary and expedient."
That gives a large latitude to the President
In tne , tnerninllVll 04 01l MI/UM ffielmagr.
He is not only left free' to express views in re
gard to all' public questions, but it is made
his duty to communicate to Congress his
opinions upon "such measures AR he shall
judge - necessary and expedient." In dis
charging his duty in this respect he is en
titled to a respectful and patient hearing,
and no good citizen can help condemning
the action of the Radicals in the two Houses.

The people will be at no loss to account
for this disgraceful exhibition. The clear ex
posure of the unconstitutional aad injurious
action of Congress made by the President,
was calculated to excite the ire of those who
arc responsible for it. We do not wonder
the Radicals writhed and squirmed under
the home truths contained in Mr. Johnson's
Message. It affected them as salt does snails.
Their conduct will lead to a universal peru
sal of the document,. and in that way their
want of deeeney will be productive of good.

The Latest from Grant.
The flutterers of General Grunt have, ut
last, persuaded hint that his very defects are
merits. In a speech in New York, a few
days ago, he said :
GENTLE3IO; OF THE UNION' LEAGUE: It
Li with entire regret that I find myself un
able to respond, in appropriate language, to
the warmth of feeling with which this toast
has been received. You alt know how un
accustomed I am to public speaking [laugh.
ter and applause] how undesirables talent it
is to possess—how little good it generally
does [renewed laugh ter and cheers,] and how
desirous I am to see more of our public men
follow the good example which I believe, in
this particular, it in no other,lhave set them.
[Tremendous applause].
We will concede that a faculty to persuade
and expound may not be as necessary in a
general as a statesman in a free, popular gov
ernment. ' A:military commander does not
argue; he says, like the Roman centurion in
the Scriptures, "Unto one, go, and he goeth,
and to another, come, and he cometh." Yet
the centurion and his imperialter, the
Emperor, were not worthy to lo the shoe
latchets of the great preachers o the truth,
in that day. So of the great or tors who
have defended liberty In every age Philip
ct ruu3
of Macedon, the soldier, lives chiefly in the
philippics launched ligainst him by Demos
thenes in the defense of Grecian liberty.
Cicero's great orat‘toas against Cesar and
Anthony eclipse the it fame as conquerors.
It was the great civil administration of
Washington, and the moral grandeur of his
character, more than his military career, that
made him the admiration of the world. He,
toil, was nil:teen:de:ant to public speaking
As a young man, he stammered out a few in
coherentlisenteaces when he acknowledged a
compliment front the Virginia Legislature.
We do not read, however, that he boasted of
thus setting an example to the orators of his
day. Few men more admired Patrick Henry,
and Otis, and Adams, and the other great
men whose eloquence roused the people to
the great etrugglafor American liberty. By
their example, probably, Washington greatly
improved, and became a dignified nail impres
sive speaker.
The military hatred of public speaking
was strong in the first Nipoleon. The sec
ond of the dynasty shares it, and muzzles the
legislative bodies as he does the press. We
are sorry to see Grant affecting these airs,
and we are sorry to say that his longest and
most pretentious speech is his wont.
The full discussion of public affairs before
the people is the vital characteristic of free,
popular government. Even in England it is
the speaker, like Chatham, and Burke, and
Pitt of a former day, and Bright, and- Glad
stone, and Dismili of to-day, who wields a
more powerful influence thin the soldier.
Nor have we yet learned to call that "an un
desirable talent, in our public men" which
has been the great instrument oftheir useful
ness and power. In fact, it is by convincing
the popular mind through printed or spoken
argument, that our government was carried
on, till the civil war engendered a brace of
military despotisms. But we hope that these
have not broken in the American people to
military discipline. They yet require some
thing more than "Silence in the ranks; right
face; left face," &c.—Philadelphia Age.

It was in the shape of. such an interroga
tion that Menard, the negro Congressman
from Louisiana, presented himself last Mon
day An the House of Representatives at
Washington. He had not yet received his
credentials from the Governor of Louisiana.
He was expecting, however, to receive them
soon, when he will offer iheto to the House
and test the sincerity of the Radical majority
Which has clamored so londl about the
rights of the negro. Meanwhile-this majority
has betrayed the most, chilling indifference
to his individual claims. At, first for a lonC,
uncomfortable time he was left severely alone
upon one of the sofas, in the rear of the hall.
No member accosted him except Blackburn,
of Louisiana. . The poor fellow, annoyed at
the social ostracism to which his Radical col
leagues.from the Northern States most illogi
cally condemned him, arose and sought in
vain for an opportunity to secure a desk.
Everywhere the Radicals turned up their
noses as he approached, and at length he
felt compelled to leave the floor of the House
in disgust and to seek refuge in the gallery
behind the great clock, where a hundred or
more of his own race were congmamied and
kept him in countenance. Here he was
manifestly more at home than below. But
so soon as he shall have leceived his creden
tials as a claimant tor a seat in Congress he
will give his Radical colleagues a chance to
extend to him the hand of fellowship. or, to
contradict their own. lying professions of re
gard for his claims as man, brother 'and chi
, zen.—N. Y. Herald. ,

virtual act of legislative confiscation. Then
we have an Indian "Ring." . This Is the most
terrible of all. The railroad, and land, and
whisky thieves confine themselves to the
mere acquirement of money by defrauding
the Treasury, but the leaders of the Indian
"Ring" speculate upon the blood of men, up
on the honor of their Government, upon

as the law is on her side she will probably
get it.
THE MOVEMENT In favor of women voting
is advancing in England much more de

a man than Mr. Gladstone has given It his
approbation, so far that he thinks that
widows and spinsters who own property
ought to have the right to vote upon it on
the mime conditions as men, but then this
opinion of the. future English premier was
given just before election time, and it is pos
slide that he may find it convenient to fOrget
or ignore it by the time he gets In power.

subject worthy ol serious attention. A fe iv

deeper and deeper root in the country. ' One
of the most significant proofs
,ofthe steady
