good government and good and!or,if lhn n,P" were of 1,18 denomination of

: few IhW s. Not any scrt of government. To be a true Democrat is to love a Guveminent of jounce and leniency a govern of all ihe people. Not ot a pari of the people. To be a Irne Denn erat is to be a defender ! I'ng-tried, popular institutions which are ilound to be good, and of the tffoJl and pow erless. Not of ihe lordly and arrogant. To be a Democrat is lo stand 1111 waveringly bv the right preferring the defeat of men to sacrifice of principle. Not for the benefit of a few mtn but for the bent fit of Ihe greatest number. To be a Democrat ia to reaped Ihe rights of ihe minority, while providing well for the majority. Not exclusively. To be a Democrat is to base all political action on the foundation of the Constitution, nd to defend it as our lathers did, with 'out lives, nur fortunes, and our sscred honor! Not in words only ! To be a Demscrat is to bean eternal enemy of class legislation, of usurpation of oppression, plunderers, and of recurring outbreaks of diseased politicians and politica. This ia our sort. Il a farmer during the course of a year haa bought $8UO of gooda and groceries, he has paid, in making the purchase, at least 90O in taxe. The banker gets his income IMC from depositors. They get theirs from the men with whom they deal. Labor pays t all. The crime of Jacobin financial policids ia that the people are taxed for the benefit of claraea. Bondholders have 02,000,on wh'ch they receive an income of aix per cent, in gold. They pay no tax. Tho national banka are unnecessarily paid by the Government $18.000.000 yearly. Most manufacturers are exempted from taxation, and the country ia taxed for their benefit $103.000,000 in gold-the amount derived! from customs in the year ending on the lit of June.

The Public Debt Striking Illustrations. The Louisville Democrat has attempted to give aoine illustrations to show the em r motu proportions of Wis public debt and the

burden it impose upon the productive in duftry of "he country. It says The Statement of the public debt publishAugust lut, 1468, confet-sfe that the oinount jof that great 'national blessing foots up i$2.;";;3,534,480! These figures represent an lamount of indebtedness that few men can comprehend. Its immensity is barely within the hounds of human calculation, and vould prove appalling to a nation of Rothschild, baring and Beabodys. It stands upon tho ruin of the Constituitioa 8mid ,n0 crumbling pillara of the j American Republic, a monument of radical .misrule, incompetency, villainy and despot YVI.i'Q it ...... ,..., .1 : .1 .

The taxgatherers, of whom it is Iho fertile parent, are now busy in every street, laue, highway, and byway in the land; and are as disastrous to the proDerity of Ihe country as the seven plague to which I'ha. raoh was compelled to succumb. Those of our readers who deal in money and who are m the daiiy habit of inspecting piles of greenbacks may be interested with the following HliMirttloMi which we find lni the l'ran klort Yeoman: The highest mountain in the world is a peak of toe iivmalaya Mountains, in India, which reaches the altitude of 28 178 feet, or a little lens than five and a half miles. The public deb' of the United Slates, ac cording to the illh iul statt uient of the Secretary of the Treasury, amounted, on the first of the present month, to the sum ot $'J.523,5.'!4 ISO. Now let u. for illustration, suppo tins debt te be one dollar bills, and piled up before us. Do you imagine- it would reach '1110111118111 hfiihtt' Let us see Allow one hundred uotes lo the inch, ond we have ils hight To be 25,230 344 inches! or ailM 940 ft !

Mgltl whilst the highest mountain peak in North America, (Mount St Kiius, iu liussisn America,) is but 17, IMD, or less than 3 miles. Still further; lei ua suppose the debt to

Ball let us illustrate a little, further; und eunnose it wore neceserrv to lake the silver dollar from the mint, employing portern for that purpose, requiring each nun to curry foriy pounds. In (hut case it would take 4.000000 men, who standing three feet apart, would make a etring about 3,000 miles long; and marching at the rate of three miles an hour, it would require about forty days for this debt-burdened army to pnse a given pviet And the task ol counting the debt, in silver dollars, would be one ot !- most endlesa duration. Let na see; A man commencing August I, 1868, and working ten hours each day and county sixty dollars each minute, would accomplish (he job A. D. 4368. But there are other Illustrations of the magnitude of thisgrest 'natfonal bleeaing.' which can not fail to arrest the attention ot farmers, to whom the following is addressed; At 83 per bushel, tho public debt repre senis 1 L'61,767,245 bushel of wheal, or 37,853,017 tons.

Now to disprove this high pretention of ihe radical we have only to ask the peo - - m ' 1 pie to txenise a few uf area which we lake from the public records of the State. During three years of Democratic rule in the State of Indiana, say in 1857-5 and 180O, the levy of taxea upon the peopla of the S'ate of Indiana was as follows: In JH.j? taxe levied S2 459 335 60 185! 1800 o ra yjio SA 1 CM 1 e t . 1 n A 1 3,768 426 b?
