HA1 S. CAcS.l ru aS ee. MAIN STREET, WOTLT SCOTT. I 1- no more money than you make. Do this, or the ruin of your estate and and the ruin of your character will surely follow.

IIow often we have heardthis advice given us. IIow often is it disregarded, and the painful conse quences suffered of ruin and disgrace. If this advice i true when ad dressed to individuals, it is so when applied to nations and communities. There is a fearful trembling in the minds of the people of -this nation now. They are startled, and alarmed, and as well they may be." Uur na tion is like the foolish son.

to whom his father had left largo possessions and who for a number of years hor estly followed his father advice to live within his income; and by ob serving this rule with care and indus try, his means were increased and his estate enlarged until pride, arogance, and a spirit of -boasting and profli gacy took the place of prudence and honesty-- he iived beyond his ineome. His servants became dishonest and graspingj ruin, bankruptcy, and dis grace star ed him in the lace he re alized his situation, and trembled. The people of the United States begin to realize their situation; and ti trembling. I he current ot ex penditures must be checked or our nation is ruined bankrupted. It 19 a most startling tact, yet never theless true, that our enormous national debt instead of diminishing is all the while steadily on the increase Let us gee on the hrst oi May the Secretary of the Treasury showed the national debt to be on the first of June it was $2,643, 753,565, showing an increase in one month of $4,140,944.

These things should be known by the tax-paying people. It is no partizan alarm; the burdens rest upon all all are alike interested, wlietner JJemoeratie or Radical. A remedy must be sought immediately or bankruptcy and repu diation will of necessity follow, What remedy do we propose In crease the already honerous burthen of taxation? By no means; but rather cut down the expenditures of the government. Let the taxpayers seriously consider these questions and no longer listen to the "syren's tongue crying peace, peace," when there is no peace. Danger is upon us.

We candidly ask the taxpayer under these circumstances Are you willing to pay the bondholder his interest in gold whilst an unrepealed law of Con- fress declares that greenbacks shall -a legal tender, and everybody is required to take them but the bondholder Why Bhould tho rich man be favored in preference to the poor man Is that equality -is that Republicanism Should we longer maintain a standing army to enforce negro supremacy upon an unwilling people Would you be willing to be taxed to pay a standing army to force negro suffrage upon the people of Kansas The Constitution of the United States says the people of the States shall decide the right of suf-frige. So you cannot but see "that we are taxed to support the army, to enforce a violation of the fundamental law of the land. Is that right? even if it cost us nothing. Shall we longer maintain the Freedman's bureau, supporting with money, wrung from hard labor, a hoard of office holdcrSjto feed and clothe the negroes of the south, and thua encourage them in idleness and mischief? Ought we longer to support this" negro bureau Tell us tax payers, is it right is it right and will you do it We have called your attention to a few of the unnecessary and wicked expenditures of the government, saying nothing of the extravagancies, profligacies, corruptions and wasteful expenditures of the public money, amounting to untold millions We are paying a stand ing army to cripple the resources of tho South and hold the negro above the white man, over a hundred mil lions of dollars a year. These con gressional reconstruction acts are costing us dearly.

Every few days you will read in tho proceedings of Congress of an appropriation to carry out the reconstruction act. The Secretary of War has just made another demand for $595,370, in addition to the regular appropriation, to supply a deficiency. on millions are appropriated to feed and clothe the negroes, or rather to encourage them in vagabondism, idleness and crime. Why ought not a negro in the South to work for a living as well as a white man, and, thus add to the wealth of the nation. It is indeed sickening and discouraging to attempt the correction of such monstrous doings at Washington.

The debt is increasing from day to day, and its heavy weight rests with increased and ever increasing burden upon the poor people of this nation, crippling trade, crushing industry, beggaring' ourselves and children. IIow long I oh, how long, shall these things last. It rests with the people to stop it. It is for them to say. We ask you in the namoof all that is' dear to you, think calmly and considerately over tilings, and make up your minds before next November whether you will have them so or not.

We again call the attention of our readers to the. notice of the County Democratic Central Committee for mass convention of all men opposed to tho policy of Radicalism. There is at present no other party organized in opposition to the missrulo and op pression of tho party in power but the Democratic Darty.V The future hopes of our State depend upon thorough organization of this party throughout this country, and tie State, and a full, clear and unmistalc en expression of tho people should be had upon the vital questions of State and national policies which are di viding them, and whicn they are called upon to decide at the ballot box. next November. At tho State Convention to be held July 29, pros.

will be out in nomination a State ticket, and Presidential electors wil be appointed for the State of Kan We, in common, with thousands all over this State, are sick of the everlasting "bleeding Kansas," 'Had ical which is constantly be inst thrown in our face. It is tune we went to work in earnest, and purged our noble young State from those degrading epithets. "lladica Kansas 'tis false last fall we trai the black banner of Radicalism in tho dust, by over eight thousand ma jority. Will those anglo saxons who voted for negro suffrage last fall vote for negro rule this fall. No, never.

they cannot, although they may have been reared from the cradlo of old Federalism, and have drank from the cup of hatred of Democracy all their lives, they will remain firm in the post tion took last fall, and stand, defiant the scoff of the negro crowd, not afraid to show the white blood their race in the rank and file of De mocracy. and thus will it be with Kansas true, loyal, union loving. Democratic Kansas be heralded throughout the world. Information among the pooplo is all that is requred to make our victory easy. Then we call upon every Conservative in the county riot to fail to be present on the day appointed, that we may select good, true men to represent us in the State Convention, to organize for the campaign, circulate documents and hold meetings throughout this country until tho victory is ours -V.

XXlssourt Illvcr, Fort Scott 5fc CSuir Ilatlroad. The, Co'unty, Commissioners of this county, have transferred county bonds to their road amounting to one hun drcd and fifty thousand dollars, to be delivered to said Company on the completion and equipment of a railroad to the city of Fort Scott. We have no interest to pay on the bonds until the road is completed. First the Company build the road and then the county pays over the bonds Fairer, better terms were never made by any railroad company to a people. They ask nothing until they send their screaming locomotive into the corporate limits of "our city.

David Gardner, L. Roberts and D. R. Cobb, County Commissioners, have won the praise and gratitude of the pcoplo of all southeastern Kan-Has, and southwestern Missouri, by their act of the 29th, ult. They have initiated an event in the history of this couhty which the wildest dream the imagination cannot fbresse from an isolated people or a western frontier town, we become a community midway between the Lakes and the Gulf.

We do not believe, nor do we pretend to say, that Joy is actuated in doing this great work for Kansas by purely benevolent purposes, by no means.

He "works his own benefit and those connected with him but we do say that a man who uses his money and talents in such works of internal improvements, is a greater public benefactor, and a better man than one who hides away his money in government bonds, and thus pays no taxes in support of county, state and general government. has purchased the Neutral lands with no view' of personal aggrandizement. He -has assured our people that every dollar of profit that may accrue therefrom, will be invested in a railroad passing through them from the Northern lakes to the Gulf of Mexico; and that every honest yeoman who has built him a cabin upon these rich lands shall be pro tected in his rights, and given time to pay for his claim from the profifs of its cultivation. We should much prefer that these settlers could have had their farms by Homestead, but that is not the policy of the Government to give homesteads upon the Indian lands, and the residents of these lands need feel thankful that no land specu lator has them in his grasp. We sin cerely believe Mr.

Joy will do all in his power to conciliate them and gain their esteem and good will. Article of Agreement Made and entered into this 29th day of June, A. D.
