ALL THE COUXTKY'S WOES
"DEMOCRATIC."
The rebellion was Democratic. It
broke out in Democratic States. It was
confined to Democratic States: It was
latched by Southern Democrats. It
was fostered by Northern Democrats.
Democrats officered the rebel army.
Democrats made up its rank and file.
Democrats filled every office in the
Confederate Government, from the
Presidency down to the clerkships, and
messengerships. There wasn't a Re
public with shoulder-iraps, or a mus-
et, or a ' place" in the wtiole devilifh
concern, in tne lA'mocrutic City of
Washington, under the Denwcratic Ad- ,
ministration of Buchanan, the rebellion j
ccratic meuiLtr of that Democratic Ad
uiiniitration stripped the North cf arms
and smuggled them over to the South,
and sent the army wh-ire it would be
unavailable, or cou'd be easily captured,
A Democratic member cf that same
Democratic Administration scattered
the navy all over the world, so that it
could not be ued on the rebel seaboard.
A Democratic Secretary of the Treas
ury plundered his trust to supply the
rebellion with money. A Democratic
President, entreated to do something to
save the nation, refused, declaring and
arcuinjr that ihe government could not
conslitutionally defend itself, and that it
wag uniawfui t0 coerce rebels, and he
sat sullenly down, like the Democrat
aml traitor that he wa, and allowed
tne nation's arsenals l0 Le plundered,
anj lhe nation's ships, navy-yards and
fortresses to be seized, and the rebel
armie3 to be organized, without lifting
a finfyer t0 prevent. Democrats through
out everv Northern and Western State
aDDIauded the conduct of their Demo

rjem0cratic doctrine, that the gov
ernment had no right to apply force to

lry's past and present woes are Demo
cratic all and every one of them,wi'h
out one soiuary exception. This truth,
as 0f the gospel, was thus uttered by a
western orator:
"Let Democratic journals and ora
tors howl over the debt and taxes their
war has brought. They but magnify
their own sins. Lvery dollar ot debt
is a democratic legacy. Every tax ia a
democratic gift- Every government
stamp is a democratic sticking plaster
Every person in the Lnited States
drinks in democracy in h;s tea, his cof
fee and whisky, and in the sugar with
which he sweetens them. Each ingre
s dient pays its quota for the cott of de
mocracy to the country. The smoker
inhale democracy. The sick man is
physiced with democracy. The labor
ing man gives about one hour's labor
every day to pay for democracy. The
capitalist pays one-tenth of his income
for the co6t of the democratic party.
Every transfer of property is saddled
with democratic burden. Before he is
begotten, the child is subject to the dem
ocratic tax. From the cradle to the
rave he is never free from it. The

funeral mourning must first pay the
penalty of democratic rule, and a por
tion of that h(f leaves behind must go
into this democratic vortex. Genera
tion after gene-ration will carry this
democratic burden from birth to death.
But for the democratic party our people
would .hardly know the nature of tax
ation. But for the democratic party,
the bjmdreds of thousands of young
men vhose bones are strewn over the
South,; would now be productive labor
ers, and the support and comfort of fam
ilies niw desolate. No one can attempt
to denr this indictment. No one can
preten'J that the democratic party had
any cause for rebellion. et it has
the effrontery to cry over the burdens
of taxation. As the father of the dem
ocratic party, when he had stripped Job
of family and possessions, charge it to
his oven sins, and sought to draw him
from jhis integrity, so his democratic
sons now come forward with equal ef
frontery anil charge their doings upon
the lc.yal people, and hypocritically
howl ever their afflictions, ai:d seek to
seduce them from their integrity, to
elect tf power the party that has brought
all thelse woes upon the land.""
THE JIM CIIOW DEMOCRACY.
Th Democratic party of the North
have tiken :he! following positions dur
ing these few years, to wit
1. That the Union must and shall be
preserved, if the people will allow it to
be preserved by the Democratic party;
not otherwise.
2. That the war for the Union
hurrah for the war for the Union under

G. That without a draft there is no
hope for the Union, therefore
7. There shan't be no draft.
S. That the Union soldiers are hire
lings and beneath contempt.
U. That Abraham Lincoln is a failure.
10. That Abraham Lincoln was a
prodigy of statesmanship aud wisdom.
11. That Andrew Johnson is a tailor
and n boor.
12. That Andrew Johnson i3 an able
man and a Democrat.
13'. That Audrew Johnson acts ex
clusively upon the time honored Demo
cratic principles.
1-1. That Andrew Johnson tried Mrs.
Surratt by court martial, and hung her
with a rope, and, therefore
IS. That Andrew Johnson is a radi
cal abolitionist.
16. That no man who had n hand in
the cruel war should have a hand in
our civil government.
17. That it 'would be prudent in the
Democratic party to put none but those
who figured successfully in the late
'failure" of the war, upon their guber
natorial tickets.
IS. That the secessionists were right,
and the Unionists were right, and we
are all right, (hi!) by the blessed Saint

Value of Advertising
A few years ago a man in Hartford
was keeping a modest shoe store in
State street, and in an o!d-fasioned way
would have got along and made a fair
living. A day or two ago one of the
Hartfcrd papers published a list of real
estate purchased within a few weeks by
this shoe dealer, the purchase money
amounting in the aggregate to SSO.OOC.
We know from items of his previous pur
chases that he was already a real estate
owner to a large amount. We believe
that he still keeps that unpretending
shoe store. How ls he made his for
tune? Advertising! That is the whole
secret. He has advertised far and
wide, advertised by the column, and by
his own or borrowed brains he made
his advertisements so readable that of
ten they were the most meritorious lit
erary productions in the paper. He
has kept his name before the people,
the people have bought his goods and
he is now a wealthy man. Jllbanv

$"' It is difficult to" make the
"Southern chivalry" aware of the fact
that the world moves. They liv e in the
atmosphere of the past, and for them
the days c'ilt and tournament, bluster
and brutality, the duello and the whipping-post,
still exist. A Rich-nond
journalist, who during the rebellion
was noted for his truculent hatred of
the "Yankee," has taken offence at
some strictures of theJNewYork Eve
ning Post, and writes a frothing letter
to the Daily J'ews, in which he regrets
that the habit and customs of the Yan

of satisfying his honor by putting holes
through the bodies of the Post editors.

TT A Boston editor says: The day
he result of the trial of Mary Harris
was announced, the following interest
ing conversation was overheard:
'Carrie, dear, will you please lend
me your revolver? I fear George will
not be true to bis promise, to-niht."
'Why, Emma, I'm so sorry. I've
just lent my revolver to Mary, and she
has found a beau who has ever so much
more money than Alfred; but, dear, I
can let you have my ivory handled stil-
letto, with much pleasure."
The customers of a certain
cooper caused him a vast deal of vexa
tion by their saving habits, and per
sistence in celling all tbeir eld tubs
Hnd casks repaired, and buying but lit
tle new work. "I stood it, however,"
said he, "until one day old S:im Crab
tree brought in an old 'bung-hole,' to
which he said he wanted a new barrel
made. Then I quitted the business in
disgust."
JSS An industrious tradesman hav
ing taken a new apprentice, awoke him
at a very early hour on tho firrt morn
ing, by calling out the family were sit
ting down to the table. "Thank you,"
said the boy, as ho turned over in bed
to adjust himself for a new nap, "thank
you; I never eat anything in tho night."
3 A New York paper eays, "a
person high in authority" asserts that it
is "all nonsense, to elect members of
the Legislature at Albany, for it ia
much cheaper to buy them after tho
election is over." This may seem to be
a mere "lling" at the bedy which makes
laws for the "Empire Stite," but there
is much reason to believo that thero is
much reason to believo that there is
quite as much truth as sarcasm in it.

JSSf A printer on his death couch,
and about to take an affectionate fare
well of his weeping friends, observed:
"I have finished my 'take,' my galley
is 'proved. and the greet Troof Read
er of the Universe Las marked the 'er
ror.' let death take the 'slugs' out and I
am ready for tho 'hell-box!' "
gJ "Oh, mother! do send for th?
Doctor!" said a little boy of three years.
"What for, my dear?' "Why, there's
a r-ectleman in the parlor who saya
he'll die if Jane don't marry him ani
che siys she won't.'.'
