DECATUR, IND., FRIDAY, FEB. 28, 1868.

LIFE’S USWER. I know not the dark or bright Shall be my lot; If that wherein my hopes delight Be best or not. It may be mine to drag for years Toil’s heavy chain; Or day and night my meat be tears On bed of pain. Dear faces may surrounded my hearth With smiles and glee; Or I may dwell alone, and mirth Be strange to me. My bark is wafted to the strand By breath Divine; And on the helm there rests a hand Other than mine. One who is known in storms to sail, I have on board; Above the raving of the gale, I hear the Lord. He holds me when the billows smile: I shall not fall: If sharp,'tis short; if long, 'tis light; He tempers all. Safe to the land, safe to the land; The end is this: And then with him go hand in hand, Far into bliss’.

A Short Chapter for All to Read. In ft late speeebi W. A. -German, of Minnesota, gave the country much food for reflection. Let all read and ponder: To day we are paying 8580,000,000 annualli) to keep up the current expenses of the Government._ Os this, 8150,000,000 is for interest on the public debt. Millions more for the support of a horde of lazy, indolent negroes, and that pet institution of Sambo, the Freed Niggers’ Bureau. Millions more to sustain in lux urious extravagance a set of swell heads and popinjays, pimps for colored brothers, to enroll and register the monkey voters in the South, Millions more to keep up a standing army in the ’excluded States, to carry ont the policy inaugcrated by the Rump Congress. Millions more to enforce the socalled “Civil Rights” bill, and to educate the negro, while the poor men’s children of the North are kept at home for want of decent clothing and money to buy the necessary books. These millions upon millions come through ievery pore of the poor man’s skin. The bondholder lolls in his easy chair, Githering his iNTEitEST.far ami near; While the poor man toils for his daily crust, And adds to the aristocrat’s glittering dust.

It is collected in every conceivable shape—by direct and indirect taxation, and in the gathering of direct Federal revenue. Forevery two millions paid in, one million goes to pay the assessors and collectors and the assistants; “red tape” must be kept up, and while the farmer toils in the burning sun and the mechanic sweats in his shop, and the miner, with his little lamp, cramps his joints in the narrow limits of his bank, the assessor, with his aristocratic air, seated upon a crimson sofa, gives in orders to a half dozen assistants the work of one, and, in turn, these fledging aristocrats, seated in fine carriages, behind cosily horses and silvermounted harness, go from door to door and farm to farm, putting on more airs than a French dancing master, and, with more pomposity than brains, graciously condescend to inform you that the bondholder wants the interest on the note he holds, whieh you never gave—that the edges of his scissors are rusting, and nothing but the clipping of “coupons” will restore their original brightness—and he books you for a portion of the bill. While this is going on before youFface, a thousand miles away there is another shark preparing to rob you. This is the Customhouse officer, a portly old thief, who walks with a massive gold headed cane. He is adding, through his subordinate (a set of long, lean lank, bandy-legged wretches, like Shakspear’s apothcary, in “Romeo and Juliet”) a few cents on every pound of your sugar, rice, coffee, tea etc., two cents for the Government —that is, two for the bondholder, Jacobin policy, nigger bureau and darkey education—two for himself! We must bear in mind that nearly all this tax is paid by the Northern States.

In addition to Hbilities for cur rent interest on the bondholders’ claim, we pay over 8200,000,000 in tariff tax. This goes for the support of Eastern manufacturing monopolies, free nigger bureaus, office holders, military satraps etc , to register and drill negro votes, mid. ship them from State to State and county to county, to oppress, torment persecute and harrass the white, race—to force them to adopt the policy of the Jacobin congress, and sustain its iniquitious reconstfucfibnactsT’ If you would stop these outrageous expenses, you must change your rulers' If you want to pay yohr public debt in the same currency you receive and pay out daily, you must change your rulers. If you wish equal taxation or. government bunds, you must change your rulers. If you want to abolish the swarm of office holders that swarm in the freed nigger’s bureau, you must change your rulers. If you want to open up the Southern market, where you can feed twelve million people with your produce, you must turn out of office every Jacobin office-hold-er. and stop these leaks in the public treasury. If the democracy get power in the government, they will reduce the tariff tax on all you eat, drink and wear. They will restore the Union, and turn over all the Southern States expenses to be paid by the South alone. We will turn out and abolish ten thousand al)bTitibnTfeedmen’s Bureau officeholders, and save mill ions of dollars in the people’s pockets. We will bid the South support themselys, and go to raising cotton and sugar, and we will contin--ue-to-raise produce to feed them. We will pay the public debt in the same currency we pay and the . same you pay each other, and thus save millions more in the pockets of the people. If we pay the rich in goLL_we will pay you in gold. If we pay you in paper money, we will pay the plethoric bondholders in paper money. We will enact laws to enable you to buy your goods where you can buy the cheapest, and sell where you can get the best prices. We will protect labor from the encroachments of capital. We will leave each State to govern itself, limited only by the Federal Constitution.

We will reduce the army in the South, and send them to the plains to protect the Irontier and the new rbiits to the far west. We will restore commerce, peace and good will between »thc North and South. We will reduce the taxes, both State and National. We will lessen the office holders and release you from taxation to support them. We will enact laws inside and not outside the Constitution. We wiil restore peace at home and maintain your honor abroad. We will inaugerate a day of moderation, order and good will, instead of hate and ill will, as now taught by Jacobin politicians.

We will give equal rights to all and grant exclusive privileges to none, and fix limits to monopolies. We will substitute calm statesmanship for mad Jacobinism. We will make pets of negroes no longer at the expense of the whites nor force suffrage for them at the expense arid against the will of those who have created and have maintained the Government. If you are tired of bearing the unequal burdens of class legislation ; if you are weary of favorit-ism-in taxation ; if your souls yearn for retrenchment and reform, you must place the Democracy in power. Commence at the ground and build up. Cast your influence to the Conservative ticket and roll up big majorities for the right! We should not be led from the performance of cur duties by minor electioneering hobbies, or the declaration that one “is a good fellow,” or another “was a good soldier” or “officer.” We have paid them for every days service —politically we owe them nothing, unless they are laboring to lighten the burdens of our taxation. What we want is relief. This is offered through the Democratic organization, and through it only. Every vote, therefore, cast for the opposition is a vote for the continuation of the unjnst and oppressive taxation. A Jacobin might therefore, just as well ask you to draw your pocket book and give him your money as to ask your vote.

A Romantic Affair. The New York Herald con-| tains the following romantic story i of high life: Quite an excitement was occa-i sioned in fashionable circles in this city a few days ago by an affair which called for the interference of the police, detectives and a min- > ister of the Gospel before its culmination. A wealthy gentleman of Cincinnati last week left the city , resolved upon engaging in busi- j ness in the metropolis, and before ' doing~so he had nn occasion to visit a certain family with whom , he had been for a long period of time on terms of friendly intimacy. In this family was an interesting young lady, for whom he had evinced an attachment o/ a 1 more tender character than that of mere friendship, and who, hap-' pily for his fortunate self, returned his affection with all the feeling of a youthful heart. On hearing of the departure for this city of the she held so dear, after in vain . attempting to make him desist ’ from his intended journey, she j formed the resolution of accompa- I nying him unknown to her j The gentleman endeavoring to ki- [ duce her to abandon her wild idea ; as he termed it but she would list- j en *o no appeal, and made prepar-1 ations to leave her home clandes- j finely with him after making him ' promise that he would not reveal: her project to any member of her ; family. The pair arrived safely in I this city, and put up at the Me-! rropolitan Hotel, the gentleman ■ treating the young lady with ail ■ the respect due a sister by a broth- j er, "heen-.’-aqi'-.g'seperate -apart-; partments for her exclusive occupation. They had not been in town over two days before a dispatch was received from her father by the authorities at police head- i quarters requestirigthat the gen- j Uoman-wlio had euiped daughter should be arrested. Un- > dcr instructions from his chief, I Detective Elder arrested the gen- | tieman at the Hotel, and lie was held in custody at the Central office until the arrival of the, young lady’s father. The old gentleman , was in a state of great perturbation, but on learning how matters stood, and that there really was no such thing as a erim- I nal elopement, he appeared to be ' somwhat relieved from bis fearful i apprehensions, and to satisfy his j daughter and the man for whom ; she had abandoned home, an I family, preparations Acre made for the marriage of the pair. All parties to the transaction were thus rendered happy. The wedding was celebrated in due form at the residence of Captain John Young.

Mcmuria: to Congress. Mr. Doolitle on the 13th insi. presented a memorial signed by over 1,000 citizens 1 of Alabama, protesting against negro rule, and praying for the continuance of military government over the State. It sets forth many alleged grievances and misrepresentations and conludes as follows : Continue over us, if you will do so, your own rule by the sword, send down among -us honorable men of your people, of the Face to which you and we belong, and ungracious and contrary to wise policy and the institutions of the country and tyrannous as it will be raised among us to resist by force their authority, but do not we implore you, abdicate your own rule over us by transferring ns to the blighting, brutalizing and unnatural domination of an alien and inferior race, which has never shown administrative, capacity for the Government of even the tribes into which it has always been broken up in its native soils, and which in all ages has itself furnished slaves for all races of the earth. Reception of the Great Pedestrian. Selma, Thursday, Feb. 13 Sergeant Bates, the great pedestrian and bearer of the United States flag from Vicksburg to Washington, was publicly received at Watt’s hall last night.— Speeches were made by ex Governor Parsons, ex- Go vernor Moorhouse, Alexander White and Judge Brooks. A great many ladies were present, At a. meeting of the citizens to-day, the following resolution was adopted: That we heartily approve of each and every principle embodied in the Constitution of the United States, and that we regard the flag of the Union as the symbol of these principles, and we solemnly pledge ourselves to support the one and defend the other. Rhode Island ladies go off alone on sleigh rides, and pay for their own supper and call it a leap year affair.

George Francis Train’s Advice to IJic K. Y. World. While the New York World is editorially writing nonsense in favor of the immediate resumption of specie payments; in order to pay the bondholder one hundred cents on the dollar for what cost him forty or fifty cents, its European, correspondent, George Franci« Train, gives it the following good advice. He says: “GREENBACKS.” “Greenbacks will add fifty thousand subscribers to the JEorld Specie payments will rcducs.your list to 20,000. Go with the people and win. Throw them over and loose. The pit to day is more powerfull than the dress-circle. The dress-circle made the war. The people made the peace. The debit can only be kept inviolate by greenbacks. Gold means dishonor. Our people are growing very rapidly. Watch the great wave at Newport, at Rockaway, Long ■ Branch, as it marks itself away ■ upon the beach. It looks as ' though the ocean of little waves I would never reach it. Wait a I while and watch. Already the sea i is marching on—onward with a ' sure and steady advance till now; i stand back, the ocean has already i marked itself higher up upon the | beach. The leading mind was the ' advance wave. The ocean is the ; people. The old coasts was the i United States —manyas the bil- ' lows, one as the sea. Already, i we, the people, are far in advance lof the politicians. Four hundred ' thousand bondholders demand i gold. Forty millions of people i-demand-greenbacks. The, xo? is ; more than ever populi."

What TVc Are Taxed For. We have been taxed half a million of dollars, within the last year, to build school-houses for,the ne--groesJn-iho-SGuthr We have been taxed two millions one hundred and fifty-seven thousand dollars to organize the negroes of the South into loyal leagues and get them to the polls to vote for revolutionary conven- ; tions in the South. j We have been taxed eight liun- ; dred thousand dollars to pay the i expenses of negroes to ride about j the South on the different railroads. jWe have been taxed to pay one million five hundred thousand dollars for food for negroes and Bureau agents in the South. We have been taxed twenty-five thousand dollars to pay schoolteachers for teaching negro children in the South. These are a few among the many things we have been taxed for unde; 1 the Radical areconstruetion policy in the South. When forty-two millions more are added as the military expenses attendant upon that-policy, the people may begin to understand why they are crowded formoney and why taxes are oppressive.— Detroi i I'ree Press.

The Good Time Coming.— “Mark Twain” discourseth thus on that millennium for which George Francis Train, Mrs. Stanton and Mis» Anthony are stumping the country: In that day a man shall say to his servant, “What is the matter with the baby ?” And the servant shall reply, “It has been sick for hours.” “And where is its mothler ?” “She is out electioneering , for Sallie Robbins.” And such conversations as these shall trans- ' pirc between ladies and servants applying for situations: “Can you cook?” “Yes.” ‘•Wash?” “Yes.” “All right. Who is your choice for state milliner ?” ‘•Jr.dv McGinniss.” “Well, you can tramp.” And a women shall talk politics instead of disscussing the fashions, and men shall nurse the baby while their wives shall go to the polls and vote. And in that day the man who hath beautiful whiskers shall beat the homely man of wisdom for governor, and the youth who waltzes with exquisite grace j shall be cliief of police in prefer ■ ence to the man of practical sagaI city and determined energy. Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, says : “If the mass of the French people were called upon to-day to 1 cast their ballots for a President or an Emperor, Napoleon would not be obliged to use any further fraud to secure his re-election ; he would carry the vast majority of the laboring classes with him. Some, Newark brewers are said to have bought 88,000,000 worth of malt, and would seem to be brewing trouble in the malt mar- ' ket
