BY MOLLIK *K. STUART.
I'm floating idiy down the stream of time
Idly aud lonely ; for no friendly hand
Clasps niineto strengthen and be strengthened :
No fair hands are beck’ning to me from among
The flowers that gem the shores ; no kindly voice
Is calling roe to linger for aw inie
Among tire pleasant fields mid happy scenes
That rise to bless and curse my longing gaze ;
No kindly tones are hiddfog me “God speed.”
And thus my fate will be to wander on,
Companionless and lone, nnfo the end.
Yet in the silent watches of the night -
When all the work-day hum of tiffs dull world
Is hushed in sleep, and thro’ my window falls
On tuy wan lace, the pale beams of the moon.
And my wrapt vision wander ’mor.g the stars,
Then dream I dreams, I dream of sunny lands,
Through which I stray, while even at iffy side
And looking into mine, are those dear eyes,
Whose look of love would be the vrorld to me.
We stand among the mouldering monumenls
Of a lost age of God s and Godlike men
Ilepeopleing them with mighty shades. We hear
The trumpet tones who’s magic power of words
Thrill’d the great heart of nations ; we recline
Beneath the cooling shade of Orange groves,
And in the tinkling of Eletamiui’s stream
We hear the silver tones of Virgil’s lyre—
Upon Lencadia’s dizzy height we stand,
And in the dreamy sighing of the waves
Hear the sad ar.Dg that Sappho, dying, sung.
W’e wander hand iu hand upon that shore.
Where the white arms of Hero were •stretch'd out
l'o welcome her Leander—[hose old tales
Of deathless love lieu in our loving hearts
A sympathy that has not words but teais,
Thus dream I dreams, aye, and dare to dioain
Of battling in the strife of mind with mind,
While her high heart and fondly trusting love
Cheer on xny fainting spirit ; and I dream,
That when around my brow the glittering wealth
Of fame is bound, aud from the swelling throats
Of thousands, riugs the proud acclaim, I turn
To find iu her fond voices’ loving-tones
My proudest fame ; and when inv cheek is laid
Upon her bosom, and her loving arms twine
Around me fondly, then I would not give
Her love for earthly immortality.
These are vain drems. Bui in my sad heart
The dream is yet the reality.

ly twice as nvieii to slop a war under
Republican policy as il did to cany on
a war under tiie Democratic manage
ment. Bull will not take this Si 60,-
U00.000 into account. Let us close
the war. Since July 1st, 1S6-5, Snout
three months alter the surrender of Lee,
up to July 1st, 1S68, the cost of gov
ernment will be, by oiKcial reports and
estimates $620,390,30s. Cp to July
1st, 1869,-by the estimate of lhe chair
man ot the committee of ways and
means, it will be 8197,973,360, making
the cost of goveanment for four years,
$1,018,304,674. This does not include
one. cent paid or to be paid for interest
or principal, of tiie debt. The cost of
government dawn” the four years be
fore the war (leaving*out inierest on
debt) was $250,220,414. This .shows
that the Republicans have spent in a
time of peace, four dollars, where the
Democrats spent one. But the cost o(
government grows greater, and we will
allow them to spend two dollars where
the Democrats spent one. This will
make. $512,452,823. But they spent
$-505,910,046 beyond this. What did
they do with the money? During the
lour years of Mr. Polk’s term, which
included the Mexican war, the cost of
the War Department was only 890,-
540,788.21. We find that the cost ot
the War Department, taking their own
statements aud estimates, will be in
those four years of peace, $541,043,-
619. Aud this follows an expendi
ture of more than $3,000,000,000 du
ring the war. The cost of the Navy
Department in the four years ending
July 1st, 1809, will be, by Republican
stalemontsaudestimates, $1 17,471,802
and ibis fnllowsuuexpenditure oi $314,-
- L be- safer and worth more. There filial ot (Ireal Britain, it-is -because
would be no question how they should |we did not thus apply tins mone.y to
be paid, lor this question grows out o
the lollies of thotee in. power, and vviil
disappear when they disappear from
the places they now hold. The bond
holder would no longer stand m an
odious light. He would not be charg
ed with the taxation which has been
used to hurt, not to help, his claim.—
If a wise, an honest use of the public
money would have done this good iu
the past, it will do it in the f uture. But
the Republican party, at Chicago,
pledged itself, by its nominations and
resolutions* to keep up if^ negro policy,
it is impossible to give untutored Afri-
Uiispurpose, but spent ii upon the ne-
gro policy, the military despotisms and
other abuses ot government, that our
credit is so low. The world st.w we
were violating our tailli with the pub
lic creditors and the lax payers alike,
when the money was used jor the par-
tizan purposes of keeping thefSouthont
oi’ilie Union until sham governments
could be. manufactured by military vio
lence and Congressional action. The
world not only saw tiie monstrous di
version of the money, wrung trout itte
people by taxation, but it also saw that

Governor Horalio Seymour made a

York, on the evening of the 25ib inst.,
from which we subjoin liberal extracts.
He says :
Atnnttg the evil results ofour monied
and lax policy, the most hurtful is the
jealousies it has made between the sec
tions of our country. It has divided
Our Union into debtor and creditor
States. It builds up favored interests
and crushes out the industry of other
classes. It faxes toil and lets some
forms of wealth go free from the cost
of the government. It gives to labor
and business a debased money, and to
the on taxed bondholder sterling cni#.
These* curses upon honest industry
have grown up like ill weeds among
the sacred interests ot contracts, trusts,
and the fruits of labor until we are
troubled how to root out the tares sown
by evil spirits, without killing the crops
planted and tilled by honest industry.
He quoted from his message to the
Legislature of New York in 1S63, and
tfien said :
The division of lhe favors of govern
ment in distributing banking currency
is startling in its injustice. But the
most offensive distinction is that of two
kinds of currency, good money for the
bondholder, and bad money for the la
borer, the pensioner and the business
man. Every paper dollar now put out
is government falsehood, for it claims
to be worth more than its real value,
and it goes about the country defraud
ing 1 lie laborer, the pensioner, the me
chanic and the fanner.
An indignant chief of one of the
tribes from whom we bought land at an
•early day by a pledge of monied annu
ity, said this government was a cheaL.
It got land from the Indians by prom
ising them so many dollars each year,
that now it paid them money which
was a lie, which said on its face it was
a dollar, when it was but lillle more
than a lmlfdoilar.
The red man told the simple truth,
Of ail the devices to cheat honest laho-',
to paralyze industry, to degrade public
morals and to turn busine ss pursuits
into reckless gambling, none has been
so hurtful as a shifting standard of val
ue, a debased aud lying currency.

To show the. waste of those in pow
er, Id us compare the cost of Govern
ment during the four years of peace
before 1S61, and the four years of peace
following the 1st ol July IS80. For the
fiscal year ending July 1st, 1969, 1
will take the estimate just made by the
committee of ways and means. Bear
in mind that this is the best promise
the Republicans can make on the eve
o! a Presidential election. It will prove
to be many millions short of what they
will.spend, but we will give them the
benefit Of their own statements. After
the close of the war, and up to the 1st
of July, 1865, the War Department paid
$165,000,000 ; which is $75,000,000
more than was spent by the same de
partment.ip the four years of Mr. Polk’s
administration, and which included the
cost ofthe Mexican wat. Jt took uear-

this lime the South has had at leaM an
intelligent tyranny in military officers.
Every mao who is not blinded by hale
or bigotry looks forward with horror, to
the condition of the South under negro
domination. The bad faith to the pub
lic creditor and taxpayer in thus un
settling our Union, ot keeping ihe-SoutU
in a condition where it cannot help the
national prosperity, but is made a
heavy load upon the country, is the
real cause of our debased credit. The
fax-payer was told the hurt Irens put
upon him were to pay the debt; but
the money was not used in good lai'h
to him, for the debt still stands; nor m
good faith to the creditor, for he was
not paid what he should have been ;
but it was used in a way which harmed
both, in a way that tainted the nation’s

wronged the laborer and pensioner.—

It $500,000,000 of the money paid for
military, naval, and other expenses,
had been used to pay the debt, to-day
the credit of the United States would
have been as good as that of great Bii-
tain. This rapid payment, and the
proof it would have given of good faith,
would have carried the national credit
to the highest point. I'h'h bonds would
be worth much more in the hands of
holders, and yet the lax-payer would
seem better ctfflbr the castor government
would lie cut down as its credit rose.—
We could put our new bonds, bearing
less interest, which would out have the
odious exemption from taxation. Our
debt would have been less, our interest
lower, and our taxes reduced. The
hours oi labor could be shortened.
What now lengthens the hour of toil ?
If we were, free from any form of taxa

and to the laborer who has put bis

Taxation would fie kept up by the Re

heavy. Nothing would be tCLlled.—

Since the war closed in 1805, the
Government has spent for its expenses,
in addition to payments on principal or
interest ofthe public debt, the sum of
more than $ f.000,090,000. Of this
sum there, has been spetit nearly $6' 0,-
000,000 on the army and navy, and
lor military purposes: This is nearly
one third of the national debt. This
was spent in lhe time, of pe*ace. The
cost of our navy before the war was
about $13,000,000 each year. Since
the war, when our shipping has been
swept from the ocean bv taxation, the
annual average cost has been $30,-
000,000, although we have now u<> car
rying trade lo protect. While money
is thus wasted without scruple upon
the army and riavv, if any aid is sought
to lessen the cost of transportation for
the farine.rs of the West, or to cheapen
food lor the laborers of the East, we
are at once treated with Congressional
speeches upon the virtue of economy,

we slop waste which forces us lo pay
a usury of ten per cent., ami take a
course which will enable us to borrow
money upon the rates paid by other
nations, we shall add to the dignity and
power of our Union. When we give
value lo our bonds b\ 7 using the money
drawn by taxation to the payment of
our debt, and not to the military and
negio scheme, we shall relieve the tax
payer, the bill-holder, and give strength
and value to the claims of the public
creditor. We have seen the mischief
wrought out by lhe policy of the last
three years. It will be as hurtful in
the future as it has been in the past.—
Yet the Republican party has approv
ed it and is pledged to it. We havo
shown how using our money to pay
our debts would have helped us in the
past. To that policy we are pledged.
There is not one man in our party up
on this broad land who doubts upon
this point. It was never Jchurged that
a single Democrat in these United
Stales ever favored the military ami
negro policy upon which the credit of
the country has been wrecked. Our
remedy is to use the public money to
[iay lhe public debt. It is a simple,
brief, but certain remedy for our na
tional malady. Our ailment is debt,
aggravated by despotism. In another
way the Republicans do a constant
wrong to the bondholders. In answer
to complaints of heavy taxation, they
say iL cannot be helped with our heavy
debt, and thus throw the whole odium
on the debt. Why do they not tell the
truth, and say one-third ofour taxation
is made by our debt? Then they will
he asked, what makes'the two-thirds ?
This question they do not want to have
asked, and they do not want to answer
it. When they do answer, the eyes of
ail classes will be opened. They will
be forced to say that last year they
spent by reports of Committee of Ways
arid Means $379,178,065 83, and this
in the third year of peace. Well, say
our well meaning Republican friends, .
we suppose the interest of the debt
took most of it. Oh, no, that took
$I49,41S.383 87, not quite as much as
was spent by the War and Navy De
partments, which was $149,4 72,165 35,
and besides this w T e spent $80,292,-
