ur less show of authority that the debt has

_ been sensibly reduced since the conclusion of

the war, and the world was told only a few weeks since that no less a sum than forty willions sterling had been paid off withia the last sixteen months. But the modus operandi was not stated, nor bas any proof of the fact been afforded either by the American Govern- ment, or by its admirers in England, who never tire of boasting of the wealth, energy, power, and glory of the Great Republic. To pay off liabilities to the extent of forty millions sterling by an issue of greenbacks to that amount, supposing that to be the means adopted, isa mere juggle and hocus- pocus; though it may be a temporary ad- vantage to effect such an operation, inasmuch as the debt, properly so called, bears interest, and greeubacks bear none. If the debt were really in process of diminution to any- thing like the extent indicated, there would svarcely be such complaints throughout the Union as daily cross the Atlantic on the wings of the prees, and in the private corres- pondence of merchants. The Customs duties are notoriously falling off, as may be judged from the case of one great dry-goods house in New York, the greatest in the world, which during the last year of the war paid duties to the amount of 4,000,000 dollars on the manufactured fabrics of Great Britain and France, but which in the first year of peace paid but 800,000 dollars, or one-fifth of its former contribution. Gold continues to average @ premium of 37 per cent. The enthusiasm of speculation that ran riot during the war has covled down, the little business that is done is transacted entirely for ready money; credit is defunct; and men, ill at ease already, dread the return to specie pay- ments, which some statesmen consider the true panacea four all the evils that seem to be in store for the country, as the one thing that, above all others, would bring down the whole financial fabric with @ crash that would astonish the nations.

upon Congress as shall induce that body to aceede co a demand not in itself unreasonable, and thus diffuse over the whole tax-paying community a liability that falls much too heavily upon a single class to be accepted as equitable, or consistent with sound public policy. Adding this 1.500.090,000 dollars to the admitted 2,500,000,000 dollars of the national debt, there would arise the too- wmagnificiert total of 4,000 000,000 of dollars, or £800,000,000 sterling, incurred in little more than four years, and of which an annual interest, much in excess of that contracted for by the British Government for a debt of the same amount which it took forty or fifty times as lorg to incur, will have, now and hereafter, to be provided for by the American people, if they keep faith with one another, and the foreign purchasers of their boods.

But this sum, large as it is, doss not re- present the whole indebtedness of the Ame- ricaos. It represents merely the amount which the North expended in the conquest of the South, and which that very conquest prevented the Suath from contributing to in any appreciable proportion. The amount of debt which the South incurred in resisting the invading armies and fleets of the North is not known even to the Southern people. There has been no one to ‘‘take stock”? of it There has been no responsible minister eitier acquainted with the details or authorized to make them known. The Southern people feel and know that they and their children are ruined; that the wealth of a whole generation, in one uf the most fertile portions of the habitable globe, has been expended in a gallant but useless struggle; and that if they were to estimate their debt as fully equal to that of the North, they might pos- sitly underrate it. in the North, it was true, there was all but limitless waste, but in the South there was all bat limitless des- truction. The South owes nothing beyond the limits of its own impoverished and devas- tated States, except the cotton loan effected in England, which some day or other, if it have the power, it may possibly recognise as a debt of honor, more sacred than if it were a debt recoverable by process of law. That debt is but a poor two millions and half sterling or thereabouts; but the debt which it incurred to its own people is probably not far short in amount of the Federal debt of the North. Putting it atonly half of the Federal debt, and adding the two debts together, we arrive at the stupendous sum of 6000 million doilars or 1200 million of pounds sterling!

When the war was brought to so unex- pected a conclusion in April, 1865, the North was as much surprised as it was delighted ; yet it Jaboured Guder the fear thas if the Union was to be restored in fact as well as in theory, and more especially if the Southern States were to be treated as Mr. Johnson and others declared they ought to be treated —viz: as if they had never been out of tie Union—and if in consequence they were to be allowed tosend representatives and senators to Congress as freely as if the war had not occurred, the Southern representatives, acting in accord and perfect amity with the North. ero Democratic party, strong everywhere ex- cept in New England, and not utterly power-
