Resolved, By the House of lltffifcsentatives of Congress of the United States, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the secessionists of the Southern States now iu rebellion against the Constitutional Government, in arms against the Capitol: that in this national emergency. Congress, banishing all feelings of resentment, will do .only its duty to the whole country that this war is not waged on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of overthrowing or interfereing with the established institutions of those States, but to maintain and defend the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union with all its dignify, equality and the rights of the several States unimpaired, and as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease and

[The resolution adopted by the Senate was the same as the above.] WHEREAS, These resolutions, though not joiut or eoncurrcnt, in form are substantially what may be regarded as having expressed the sense of Congress upon the subject to which they relate and

Now one hundred thousand dollars is nothing, yet it is quite a little plum. When the war began I wan't worth a copper, unless it was in debts. Now I am well off. But I am a cunning cuss! IHdn't I make war speeches, and denounce Democrats, and mob "Copperheads," and go it gftiWg far the Union? Vou bet! lla-ha-ha-ha! But the fools are not all dead. Some of them arc—that's is, they were killed. And.didn't 1 get the poor people to enlist and fight to preserve the Union? Damn the Union, if I only g«rt office and hold bonds. That's what makes tho cream elevate itself!
And then didn't I go in for bounties, and go it strong on patriotism and play it big on loyalty! Guess not! Oh no! Guess patriotism don't pay! Look at these little fellers with figures on the face and these coupons on the end ol them! How arc you, my suffering country.
It takes a smart man to keep out of war himself and entice others to go. Tho bounties is what fetched 'em! Poor fools! You see they went to fight.
From all the towns, cities and counties, •l To war they went toget the bounties!
1
.Some were killed And some ivere wounded' _t Some were shot
And some were drownded
1
k,.,
And some, when "this cruel war was over," cat/re back. I had a farm. I sold it and put my money in bonds. Bunds beat farms ten to nothing! Ami I speculated in "things." And I sold stuff to the soldiers. And I got their bounty money on shares. And I filled town quotas, and ma-de-a nice little-haul by that. And 1 put my cash in bonds.
Bonds are just.old rosewood with gilt edge. Lot uie sec. I have now one hundred thousand dollars in Government bonds. Ilow I love my Government! It is the best the sun ever shone on! These bonds average me eight per cent., interest in gold. Eight per cent, on one hundred thousand dollars is just eight thousand. And I get it in gold, worth thirtyfive to forty-five per cent, premium. This makes iu greenbacks the snug little sum of elevcu thousand dollars—round numbers.
And the beauty of it is don't have one cent of taxes to pay. ^4^13 Isn't it nice/
This is the best Government the world ever saw. Rich men hold bonds-"—poor men pay them. The tax-gatherer don't bother tnc. It don't cost me one red cent to--let me sec!
To pay state expenses! To pay government expeusos To pay county taxes! To pay city taxes! ,? To pay village taxes! To pay town taxes! To pay school taxes! To pay road taxes\M To pay poor taxes! To pay i'or building churches, schoolhouses, bridges, railroads, improvements or even interest!
You sec we raised them by taxation of course. And we taxed the property— the real estate of the tovu. And we issued town bonds, city bonds, county bonds. 'State bonds, and every other kind of bonds. 'And we sold 'em dog cheap to get the money to pay bounties. And us fellows bought the bonds at a discount. And we gave the "volunteers" nionoy to go to war. And while tliey were gono we had a good time. And wc sold our farms cheap to the wives of the soldiers. Aud we got our bounty money all back.
And better still! The soldiers came back from war and now are working to pay tho tixes to pay interest on my bonds.
Isn't it niccl The d—d fools went, to war, and now come back and work, like dogs to pay us the interest ou the bonds wo sold to give them money. They are paying themselves for getting shot at. Bully for vs bondr holders! i.
And now they work to pay the interest. When they get used to it we'll make .'em pay the principal too! What A good government this is!
This war di«ln,t. oost mo -one cent. I didn't spill a drop of my blood—bufc.kcyrliist. how I did bawl out against the Democrats!
And now I sit in my parlor—I uuioke my cigarp—I drink my wine—I onjoy myself, and have uo taxes to p»y.. Look at that poor cuss across the cruek He a iut 'v.'itb a thousand dollars, yet hp.
WHOLE NUMBER 1231
poor dog, is in debt, and pays half his earnings in taxes! 'lieafl tfie-taxcs, nil'then his wife sells butter, eggs, wooleh yarn, milk, •vegetables and such little things she wants, to get tlie money to put in the bank to pay me tho interest on my one hundred thousand dollars, as it falls,due every three mouths.
You sec ihi.s is.financial science! Poor men support flic Government,, pay all tho taxes, make us richer, do all the fighting. Us bond-holders and Pitch patriots, do' the figuring, get the offices, tho money, and have a good time of it.
Now I eat fine food, while that poof1 cuss over (he way eats coarse. And 1 wear broadcloth he wears patches. Aud my wife flaunts her silk and swings her baimoral skirts under the nose of that poor man's wife, for I am a rich, taxless bond-holder, and lie is the poor cuss who supports the Government and me too.
Work away, you poor fools. Toil your fingers to the bono, and die poor men for my sake. The war was a GO'd• send to thieves, swindlers^ eotfards, stay-at-home patriots, abolition agitators, republican office-holders, robbers, aud, in fact, all of our crowd of Union voters. Ihimn the lrnion, if wc can only hold bonds and offices, and keep the people in poverty.
Guess this wasn't a rich iron's war—• guess no*. And I guess you folks dasn't go for equal taxation or repudiation—for it is wrung to injure us chaps who siq)I'ort the (lorernmcnt.— —~r?
Wc will not die!
The Republican papurs say :tho Den/ocI.K is dead! The radical leeches which would suck corruption out of a corpse say, Democracy has given up the ghost! We tail to see it. For years we have stood! by its sick bed side. For years we have laved its brow, and Jrenclied its won'ticfc'. 1 For years wc have watched beside it in the ugly prisons and dark cells Lincoln consigned it. to—have stood in the face of mob*—have helped it through a guantlet of trials have at.tini.es thought the dear soul of liberty found in democracy alone had fled, but thank God, truth is eternal and Democracy still'lives. '•Truth crushed lo'earth shall nVe again.
The liternal years of G'oil are hers! Democracy is not dead HOT can it be killed by man or devil—tyrant or clown —usurper or flat boatman, by fool or coward,
"The mills of God grind slowly,-''' Hut they grind cxtfeerlinf? small Though with patience slauds He Waiting,.,.,
With exactness grinds He all!
When Democracy is dead tho people will be slaves. When Republicanism lives, people will be in rags, dirt., dcbtr aud taxes. The tree of liberty is the tree of Democracy. The voice of the people is the voice of God. Tho storms maydrown the voice for a time, but storms die away and the voice of God will soon again be heard. As a Democrat wc will uot die!
Day follows night!

The Democracy which our enemies say is dead was only sleeping. It is now waking from the military night marc, and millions of regenerated people aro singing pcans in its praise. Democracy will not die. Bayonets have stabbed it—prisons have mouldered its coat—cannon balls torn it, limb from limb—shells have burst in its very heart—-minions of damnable and a despotic power have pushed it to the wall—uiobs have hung it to trees— cowards have left it weltering in blood— hate has proscribed it—fanatics have cried it down—tyrants have ground it under their despotic heels—thousands of 5 theives in the garb of patriots have robbed it of vesture and raiment—but thank God the spirit of Democracy is eternal and every drop"of blood shed in its fcrfence will expand into a temple of liberty—every sigh from its wounded heart will be a song of joy—every limb toru from the tree will grow into a monarch of tho forest—every, little prayer in its behalf will be an anthem of joy reaching the ears of the Eternal and full of blessiligs for the future^
We will-not die, till our eyes have seen the glory of the new resurrection. The day is coming when into dust will be ground those who have sought to enslave the people, and when all who were tyrants on the soil of America will rot uncared for and execrated by millions.
