' it was passed as a disgraceful piece of demagog uery on the part of the northern leaders the southern dem ocrats who voted for it were doubtless actuated by other considerations — they thought it would appear mean for them to withhold thirty million of dollars as pension money from northern soldiers and so they voted . for the measure but the northern ! promoters of the scheme were only j seeking to catch the soldiers vote : that was all and in doing that they j have opened the door of the treasury j wide — so wide that already one hun i dred million of dollars have been ta , ken out of which cot one quarter has g')ue to the poor soldier we trust that no democrat except j alone the erratic voorhees will stand before the country as approving the fraud it is not right the substi tutes who were hired by the northern conscripts or drafted men to take their place in the ranks of the feder al army are not entitled to this boun ty at the expense of the country the law ought to be repealed not endors ed the fraud is now exposed — the trick of its passage is evident it could not have been adopted had con gress been able to see into the future and now to endorse it is to endorse fraud aud to be utterly regardless of the people's rights when are we to return to the peri od of low taxes and an economical government if oceans of treasure are to be expended in such wise as this southern democrats have heretofore not asserted themselves in such mat ters we trust that the days of their compliance with an assumed public sentiment luve ended and that we may have an issue on this question which will commend itself to the fa vor of our people the opposition to this piece of iniquitous jobbery is not confined alone to democratic ranks ;
