The Public Debt.
Hie lfepublicon paira are endeavoring
to make their readers believe that our
public debt is only about o00,0X,000.
The annual interest onthis sum, at six
per cent, would be (s)0,O00,000) thirty
millions ot' JUlitrs. The Direct Tax Hill,
drawn by Thad. Stevens, mid passed by a
Iiepublicaii Congress, for the purjtose of
paying the interest on the public debt, is
(130,000,000) one hnmlml and jijty id

the Republican papers aiv wrong, or Con

tT For flic want of sufficient force in our
office, owing to one of onr principle hands
getting his arm hurt, we were obliged to
turn in with our stick and rule, which
must lie an excuse for the lack of original

worthy of perusal.

real regard for his sacred oath of ollice.
or caring any thing aliout the groat chart
of American lilnTty, he has proved himself
a weak vaooil!ating old mountebank to the
doctrines enunciated in his Inaugural Ad

to the danger, and are resolved to meet it.
We have tried the mdicals, agitators
a id alolitionists long enough. Thev have
succeeded by their foolish and impractica
ble schemes and legislation, only in uniting
the South as one man against us, and of
dividing the North into parties, which, un
less more moderate counsels prevail, prom
ise soon to b-'come jis deadly hostile to
each other as the South can wish.
The President who regards his oath, the
general who is opposed to negro insurrec
tion, and the citizen that dares talk of con
stitutional obligations and privileges, have
already become obnoxious to this proirrcs
sive school, and where the end will be, un
less the people arise in their majesty and
assert their independence, wc fear to con
jecture. The ballot box is now our onlv remedy.
Ixt every patriot consider attention to pol
itics his sacred duty; for, until all the cor
rupt and time-serving demagogues who,
for years last, have usurped the places of
honest men, have been utterly weeded out,
wo need hope for but for little change for
the better. Let, us then-fore, wipe out
the elate and begin anew.
The coming elections are extremely im
portant, as the complexion of the law

thereby.

44 If we lesi-nd from the Constitution
to the umli.scation act. we shall find this
extraordinary pnelnmation indefensible
even on the principles of that act. That
law does not act on the giss Kpulation
of an-as of country, but or. individual cr
sons. The forfeit uivs it denounces arc
confined to jiersons in ivliellion against the
sovernnient. What can be more propos
tenus, or a moiv monstrous jH-rvei-sitn of
justice, than to make the guilt or inno-
cnee of an individual depend on whether
the state in which he hapjKMied to Ik-lorn
shall have repn-s-ntatives in Congn -ss on
the first day of .lanuary ? It would le
suttieiently nionstnuis to make a man's
right to his property depend on his own
exercise of the chi-tive frai-.chis Never
was there so I -grading a satin on n-pub-lic:in
institutions as the compulsory votin-j
nquinxl by President Limiln.
44 lut when a man's pi-oj-rtv is made
to depend not on whether he cluss to
vote himself, but on whether his fellow
citi.ens choose to vote, and whether the
iitimlM-r voting under thi cxii-utivc i-om-pi-.lsion
happens to be a majority, we are
lost in astonishment that a chief magis
trate of a free country should unlert:ike to
make citizens perform what ought to le
their freest a-t, under coercion, and to
convert the ballot lox into a criminal tri
bunal. What has the number of votes
cast in a particular election to do with
the question whether a jyirticular citizen
is guilty of treason Why should women
minors and oqihans Ik? deprived of their
projH'rty in consequence of the neglect of
citizens to vote !

ment for the sake of the country, that he
has been coerced by the insanity of the
nulica's, by the denunciation of thir
pressi-s, by the threats of their Governors
and Senators that he should resign. in:0 a
proclamation which on its face violates the
Constitution, is contrary to the ge neral
current of civilization in the cotuhict of
war as it has nin since the cru.-ades, is in
opposition to the solemn declarations made
by our gevemnient that this was not to be
a war of subjugation, and in manifest ob
stniction of the reunion of those States
for which the nation has fought, and is
ready to lavish its blood and tre;isu:v.
We demand to U informed whence
the President derives his jwiwer to issue
any such proclamation as he has now pub
lished? Not from the Constitution surely
for it is in plain violation of some of it's
leading provisions. Not from the laws of
war, for the law of war tolerate no such
proceeding. Not even from the so called
confiscation act, which the President was
at one time on the point of vetoing, for
the proclamation does not eonfonrf to its
provisions. This proclamation is made
in pursuance of that higher law that is
to say, that open defiance of law which
has distinguished the tril of pestilent
almlition agitators from the beginning.

small knowhilge cither of human nature
or the temper of the Southern mind.
44 Such a proclamation cannot possibly
be enforced, and iU only effect xvill be to
strengthen the determination of the rebels
to fight to tlte very last. They are shut
