While the Journals' of the faction now in
power are teleaoopioally hunting out single
oases of murder and maiming in farthest
Texas and Arkansas, oblivions ot the soores of
Wife and child murders close at hand, the peo
ple are impatiently demanding to know what
all that has to do with such a "living" qnes
tion as that of the enormons taxes which are
annual drawn from their pockets. The
special and subordinate officers nnder the
guidance of this party may bring out as many
reports on the Government expenditures and
resources as they like there stands the great,
overshadowing fact still, that the rate of
taxation in this free and naturally rich
country reaches fourteen dollars for every
man, woman, and child in it. It is prepos
terous. We are taxed more heavily than the
English, and yet they have a debt almost
twice the size of ours, and a Church establish
ment, a royal family, an immense navy, and
an army to support. Oar revenues for the last
fiscal year amounted to four hundred and
eixty millions of dollars. Enormons I That

Admitted to their relations within the Union f
J! at besides the army there is the Freedmen's
JJureau, costing, accordingto General Howard's
report, nearly twelve millions from Jan., 1867,
to Jan., 1808. And what appears on the surface,
In this Bureau business, is but pebble stones
of expenditure compared with the solid rock
of extravagance underneath. Seven or eight
hundred thousand able-bodied black laborers
are taken from steady tasks, at which they
might earn regular wages and gradually learn
the lesson of continence and thrift, and intro
dnced to midnight party leagues, taught mys
teriouB passwords which lead only to vagrancy
tnd crime, and drilled in habits which forever
unlit them for serviceable industry. Were
these men never more needed in the pros
trated South than now employed, as they
"would be but for the idle teachings of vaga
bond partisans, their applied labor would start
up confidence in that entire seotion, attraot
capital and immigration, guarantee peace and
prosperity, and help lift this heavy load of
taxation from the bent Northern neck. Besides
reduoing the expenditures by the withdrawal
of the army and the Bureau, such a revival of
Industry in the Southern States woald bring
revenue directly into the Treasury, and aid the
Rorth in paying its lessened share by opening
the channels of business which radicalism has
BO obstinately obstructed.
This in Rimnlv what it ha? dona. And wTial

It might still do; but nothing is to be looked
for from such a party different from what its
record declares ot it in the past. The single
thing it has steadily refused to do is to cur
tail the expenses of the Government. It may
profess and propose economy In every other
form, thinking to hoodwink the people, but
until it cuts off the waste at its source, it is
not honest and sincere in anything it says.
Congress adjourned without actually reduc
ing the expenditures or curtailing its crimi
nal extravagance. There was a good deal of
talk abont, reducing the army, and abolishing
the Freedmen's Bureau, and doing several
other things of like character; but it all
amounted to just what Commissioner Rollins'
resignation aid nothing. It was a trick,
a catch, a blind, in the hope that the
people would be deceived as they had
long been defrauded. The appropriations
voted were comparatively moderate for elec
tioneering purposes; but a large deficiency bill
will be certain to make up the lack before the
end of the year. The fact still stands out,
that although fonr hundred and sixty millions
Were taken from the pockets of the people for
the last fiscal year, no movement has been
lionestly made for the redaction of the public
expenditures, for staying this fearfully wasting
tide of extravagance, or for limiting the name
less operations of corruption. The radioal
party is committed to precisely the same order
of things which it followed last year, and has
followed for the three years and more since the
termination of the war.
The people understand it all now. They
Bee with a clear eye what this power-seeking
faction would conceal from them. And they
wait only for the day to come when they may
constitutionally exeroise the full measure of
authority which reverts to their hands. They
will send away in disgrace a faction whose
highest conception of government is, that it
confers power on a few men to prey on the
rights and prosperity of a whole people.
The Two nans.
From the If. T. Timet.
The Boston Post declares that the Republi
can party is not entitled to respect because it
"presumes to present itself without a clear
and well-settled plan of administration." What
the exact radical plan is, adds our contempo
rary, "it would puzzle the best heads of their
own party to tell." Of course, the lnferenoe
la suggested that the Democratio plan is clear
and well settled, and is therefore better enti
tled to the votes as well as the respect of the
people.
It is admitted by the Democrats that the
reconstruction question is the Aaron's rod of
this campaign. In magnitude and importance
it overshadows all other questions, and by
their attitude in relation to it both parties
will mainly be judged. Yet, on this question
the Republican plan of administration is
positive and definite, while that of the De
mocracy, vaguely indicated in the platform, is
variously interpreted by the different seotions
Of the party.
The plan by which the Republican organi
sation seeks to justify its title to national con
fidence is not speculative. No hypothesis is
assumed in anticipation of its development
it is now in operation in the ten States to
Which it applies; having in seven fulfilled the
expectations and purposes of its authors, and
in the remaining three being null in progress,
liy the reconstruction measures the party is
prepared to stand; by their results it Is willing
that its capacity for governing shall be esti
mated. In its platform, it claims for them
the merit of assured success; and it binds H
Belf to sustain the institutions growing out of
reconstruction, and to prevent the people of

and generally to adhere to the positions it has I
assumed in the course of legislation on these I,
matters. We submit, then, that here is the
"clear ana wen setnea pia oi auuiiuiairuuu i
which the opposition demana. uere is me
"exaot plan" which the Font deolares has
no existence, but which in a party sense has
been made irrevocable by the Chioago conven
tion. -
Can the Democratio party honestly say the
tame of and for itself f At the instance and in
the words of Wade Ilampton, it pronounoes
the reconstruction aots "a usurpation, and
unconstitutional, revolutionary, and void,"
and it also calls for the "immediate restoration
of all the States to their rights in the Union."
The latter proposition is intelligible; although
its operation would now be limited to the
three excluded States. The seven States
which have been restored to the Union need
no further help; they have their rights in the
Union, including complete control of their own
affairs. The other three the party would
bring in without conditions of any kind, tio
far the Democratio plan is clear enough. But
who of the faithful will tell us its meaning in
regard to the accomplished faota of reconstruc
tion f What does the party propose to do
with these f Will the Post explain with what
objects the party "presumes to present itself,"
so far as the piactiual aspect of the question is
concerned 1
For two versions of Democratio desire and
duty are before the country. Frank Blair's
version prevailed in the Convention, and is
the one in vegue throughout the South. The
opposition leaders of that section have almost
to a man committed themselves to the view
which implies the overthrow of the recon
structed governments by foroe, and the re
establisbment of white men's governments.
One Southern journal has descended to par
ticulars, according to whloh if Seymour be
elected the Southern Democrats are to meet
in Convention, form other constitutions, pro
vide for the organization of other governments
on the white man's basis, and butcher freed
men who dare to maintain the rights conferred
by Congress. This would be the consistent
application of the Blair doctrine as indorsed
by the Convention, and incorporated in the
platform.
But the cooler heads of the Northern De
mocracy repudiate a programme which, be
ginning in revolution, would end in anarchy.
Of this more moderate view the World was at
one time an emphatic expounder. No jour
nal then showed more clearly the constitu
tional difficulties which block the path of
those who would suddenly overturn the Gov
ernments organized under the law. None
proved more conclusively that if the contin
gency contemplated occur, the President,
whoever he be, will be obliged to use the
power at his command to support the present
Governments against the combinations which
the Southern Democrats propose to employ.
The World and Boston Post, and the whole
brood of Democratio journals published in this
latitude, now evade the issue involved in this
qae&tion. Not one of them has manliness
enough to declare in what sense it receives
this feature of the Democratio plan, or to de
clare in what light it would regard the prac
tical exercise of the doctrine affirmed by Blair,
and accepted by the South. Mr. Seymour
has dodged the question. Mr. Pendleton,
usually as frank as he is courteous, passes it
over without a word. Not a single Democrat
of mark, who has appeared in the Northern
canvass, has ventured to unfold his own
rendering of the plan, either by way of con
demning or ratifying the Southern method or
giving it effect.
The Democratio plan, then, is not only not
"clear and well settled,." nut it is not honest.
It has two sides one for the law-abiding
JXortb, the otber for tbe law-defying malcon
tents of the Sonth. It is conservative or
revolutionary, according to the locality; the
variableness of meaning being in itself an ele
ment of disturbance, which the business and
industry of the country cannot afford to en
counter. The Republican plan, on the contrary, has
but one meaning and one end. Its mainten
ance of work pertormed under tbe law, and of
results realized in conformity with the settled
principles of the party, is distinot and empha
tic. Neither in regard to the principles or
form of reconstruction is there the shadow of
turning. What the party advocates in the
North it upholds in the South. And the whole
tendency of its efforts is to secure the just and
permanent peaoe which is the great need of
the nation.
The Revenue Supervisors.
From theN. T. World.
Of all those who have read section 49 of
the unconstitutional new tax law, there are
few, perhaps, who have penetrated the true
aim and underlying character of the provi
sions therein contained. It may have been
seen that twenty-five new offices are created,
the holders to be termed supervisors of in
ternal revenue; but has the real object of
their creation also been perceived? Osten
sibly it is for the promotion of the publio
geod, by an improvement of the revenue
system, and under this guise it has been
palmed off upon the people. But those who
are skilled in analyzing radical legislation,
and interpreting radioai actions generally,
will see in this section a significant por
tion of a well-laid conspiracy intended
solely for the extension of their party power.
These supervisors were plainly brought into
the field to be used as political agents in the
radical interest; and to make them effective it
was necessary to give them unusual powers.
To whom tbe country is indebted for the oriel
nal conception we do not know, but we
strongly incline to the belief that Commis
sioner Rollins bad a large agenoy in it,
prompted by motives obvious to those who are
conversant with his political aspirations. To
insure appointment of the right men (in the
radical view of things), the appointing control
was exclusively vested in Mr. Rollins, regard
less of the unconstitutionality of the vesture,
or its perniciousness as an act leading straight
to insubordination, from the demoralizing ex
ample set to the civil service throughout.
The soope of the power and the duties of
these supervisors oan be stated most briefly by
giving the law Itself: Each one of them
"shall be assigned to a designated
territorial district, to be composed of one
or more judicial districts and territories."
We have here an area of jurisdiction that of
itself makes them of that superior class of
officers whloh the Constitution designed
should be appointed by the Jresident, not even
by a department head, much less by an in
competent bureau officer:
'-It shall be tbe duty of every Supervisor
to tee that all law and regulations relating
to tbe collection of Internal taxes are faltatully
executed and complied wltb, and to
examine into tbe etUoiency and conduct or all
oftlcers of internal revenue within bis distrlot."
It will thus be seen that every supervisor
beoomes a sort of inquisitor and judge, com
petent to determine upon the aotlons of every
excite officer within his official range; hav
ing power to regulate the revenue affairs, em
braced within most ample limits, according
to his own independent judgment. We call
these dangerous and unwarranted powers.
They are not delegated, because the revenue
demands them for its protection and promo
tion; for those ends can much better bs at
tained by placing a competent chief at the
head of the service, who will give us au honest
and efficient organization in his own office
and id the two hundred and forty collection
districts in the country. They were dele
gated for the political benefit to be derived
from the centralization in the hands of twenty
five men of powers heretofore held by twenty
times that number, whose appointment Con
press has outrageously usurped from the
President and plaoed by pretense of law in
the hands of one of their tools. These super
visors are empowered to examine persons,
books, papers, acoounts and premises; to ad
minister oaths and to summon any person to
appear before them with books and papers to
testify, and to compel compliance in a sum
mary manner. They have alio power to make
any changes they may Bee fit, in the assign
ment of inspectors, gaugera and storekeapera
to distilleries. In brief, they are given oontrol
of the entire revenue foroe embraced within
the limits of a judicial district, from the asses
sors and collectors down to the lowest subor
dinate. And for the honest and efficient exer
cise of these broad powers they are answer
able to no one but the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, according to the statute. The
audacity, usurpation, and entire unlawfulness
of the scheme will be seen at once. It
becomes known at Bight as a, well-hatched
conspiracy of the radioals, in and out of
Congress, for obtaining hold of all the
avenues to political power, regardless of the
injury that may be dealt to publio or private
interests. All interests are inflexibly made
to bend to the one great, cardinal purpose of
perpetuating radioal rule throughout the
whole length and breadth of the land. The
very manner of appointment of the super
visors is a flagrant violation of the organio
law, as we have recently shown. And to
this outrageous abuse of petty power is added
the delegation of official powers to a set of
political creatures that oannot but be regarded
by the community at large as dangerous in
both nature and degree. We call the atten
tion of the country of the great body of tax
payers to this new feature in the radical
campaign, unparalleled in all the annals of
political history for reoklessness, unlawful
ness, and petty trickery, and we ask if it is
the intention of voters to permit the con
tinued domination of a faction that has so
justly forfeited all claim to the respeot and
support or honest men, wbo have the true
good of the country at heart ? The signs of
the times say it is not.
A Secondary Lion.
from the N. T. Tribune.
We observe that it is expected of General
McClellan that immediately upon his arrival
from Europe he will begin to make himself
useful by eating a dinner in this city in honor
of Blair and Seymour. "The McClellan Legion"
has gone over, as we are informed, body,
breeches, bravery and buttons, to Blair & Co.,
and the World frankly informs us that "the
Legion is actively employing itself" In the
present campaign in working for the Demo
cratio candidates, "to which objeot attentions
shown General McClellan will be seoondary."
This is candid, we admit; but how will the
pilgrim warrior relish it when he comes to read
it, or the dinner when he comes t eat it f
Secondary, indeed f A very genial way this
is of greeting the ooming guest I "You are
only secondary, General 1 but you shall have
your dinner for all that. Soup, fish, and
every delicacy of tbe season. All the choice
vintages of which you care to taste; but in
return you will be expeoted to make some
sacrifice of your personal feelings, and to forget
what a mess we made of it in 1SG4. We are
ready to show you every attention, but it
must be understood that these attentions are
secondary. Nominally this is the McClellan
Lesion still, but rttallr it is a Blair and Sey
mour Club; and what will you take t" We
don't know how the returning wanderer will
relish this sort of thing, but not overmuoh,
we fancy. It will require a pretty good dinner
to stir his appetite under such a very peculiar
welcome. We suppose that Gen. McClellan,
like most military men, has the instinots of a
gentleman; and this is more than we can say
for the committee which proposes to make
him dine in publio under such delicate circum
stances. If General MoClellan has friends who
desire to give him a dinner, be the same pub
lio or private, we do not know that it is for us
or fer anybody else to object to the festivities;
but when it is openly avowed that the dining
is an electioneering boheme in behalf of Blair
and Seymour, "to which objeot attentions
shown General McClellan will be secondary,"
it is painful to notice a man who has occupied
a really high position so shamefully insalted.
We feel perfectly safe in predicting that
General McClellan will deoline any invitation
to dinner of which he is to be "the secondary"
hero.
Vermont.
From the N. T. Tribune.
Though the Green Mountain State holds her
election for Governor, Congress, Legislature,
etc., on Tuesday next, September 1, we have
hitherto said nothing to her people. The
Switzerland of America knows her friends and
her enemies knows that they are also the
friends and enemies of liberty for all. Uni
versally educated in their own excellent com
mon schools, living generally on their own
larms, reading constantly and observing in
tently, her people know the right and stead
fastly uphold it. Whatever votes, few or
many, shall be cast in that State to restore
llowell Cobb, Mason, blidell, Toombs, torrest,
Semmes, etc., to mastery over the republio
whose flag they deserted, whose unity they
assailed, whose commerce they destroyed,
whose defenders they slaughtered, will mainly
be east by immigrants from less Intelligent
communities, whose hearts are not thrilled
by the recollection of Bennington and
Saratoga, and wbo?e fathers did not unite in
hunting Sir George Provost from Plattsburgh.
the World has a column of gaseous "tarn
paign Notes," purporting to show great
changes everywhere in favor ef Seymour and
Blair, whence we extract the following:
"A letter from Vermont to the World declares

General (Jrant and the Democracy The
1-fsnons or fast Lleciions.
From the iV. Y. Herald.
The Dtimooracy, in fighting the unparalleled
assumptions of power, extravagances, corrup
tions, and grinding taxations of the present
radioal Congress, have sufficient material for a
vigorous and effeotive campaign against the
republican party and its Presidential ticket of
Grant and Colfax. Very few of the Demo
cratic leaders, orators, or organs, however,
have the sagacity or prudence to seize the
advantages which are offered them in the usur
pations and crimes and plunders of the radi
cals, while avoiding the dangers of attempting
to disparage the publio services and blacken
the character of General Grant. Bat no poli
tical party can safely ignore or disregard the
lessons of past elections in reference to the
merits of principles or candidates.
for instance, in the campaign of IS 23, be
tween Jackson and Adams a campaign which
marked a new organization of parties the
Adams party unwisely adopted the polioy of
a general hue and cry against Jackson, as a
man whose personal record and character
would make his election a lasting disgrace to
the country. Thus he was presented in the
administration newspapers, in pamphlets, and
handbills, including coffin handbills, and on
the stump, as one of the most infamous cha
racters that ever existed. As a soldier he
was denounced as a tyrant and a butcher, and
also as an impostor, for his victories, it was
contended, were due to other men. As a
civilian his qualifications were below medio
crity. He was an ignoramus, who oould
not write a single sentence correctly,
and who knew but little more of affairs of
state than an untamed Choctaw. As a citi
zen his character was that of a Southern
backswood ruffian, ever seeking ocoasion for
the exercise of pistol or bowie knife, and dan
gerous to friends and enemies, lie was, more
over, represented as a duellist guilty of dell
berate murder, a shameless adulterer, and a
rowdy hero of cross-road taverns, horse races,
and political barbecues. In short, if the sup
porters of Adams could be believed, a more
scandalous and detestable nomination could
not have been made for the Presidenoy than
that of Andrew Jackson. Yet he was eleoted
by a very decisive popular and electoral ma
jority over Adams, the model of all the vir
tues, because the people thought it proper to
rebuke this scandalous partisan abuse of a de
serving patriot; and thus the very means em
ployed to defeat Jackson insured his triumph
ant election.
Such was the lesson given to the adverse
party in the election of 1823. The same popu
lar spirit of fair play against partisan perse
cution contributed to the increase of the vote
for Jackson in 1832, although the bank ques
tion was the controlling issue in that canvass.
Passing over the intervening elections for the
present, in turning to that of 1802 we have a
lesson of a character totally different from
that of 1828. General Scott, the first soldier
of his day, the hero of Chippewa, Lundy's
Lane, in the war of 1812, and of Vera Cruz
and all the bloody battles around the city of
Mexico in the war of 1846-7, as a Presidential
candidate was overwhelmingly beaten in 1852
by a New Hampshire county court lawyer and
local politician. And how f Because, while
Greeley and his abolition faction of the Whig
party could do nothing better than "split upon
the platfoim" of Scott, which was the same
as that of Pierce, the Democrats fought their
battle squarely upon the great compromise
measures of peace on the slavery question
embraced in that platform and won the day.
Scandalous personal abuse and libels on the
character of General Scott were generally
avoided, and his personal cause aud claims
were damaged only by his own imprudent
speeches and letters, drawbacks which are not
likely to damage General Grr.nt.
Here, then, are two very important lessons
for our Democratio politicians in the first
election of Jackson in 1823, and in the defeat
of Scott in 1852. In the one case against a
meritorious soldier we see that personal calum
nies and abuse only served to enlarge his
ciaimB in me estimation or tne people; in the
otber case we see that against the highest mili
tary claims great public measures ot necessity
and sound policy will prevail, if no general
attempt is made to reduce the military candi
date to the level of a ruffian, a butcher, a
pretender, an ignoramus or a drunkard. Com
mon sense, one would think, ought ' to have
prevailed with the Democrats in persuading
them to fight this fight not against General
Grant, but against the measures and principles
of his party, in view of the election of 1852;
but they seem determined upon a repetition of
the foolish course of personal abuse against
Jackson which swamped the party of Adams
in 1828.
The Ku-Klux Democracy.
From the Cincinnati Gazttle,
A short time ago we published an article de
signed to show that the spirit which now
actuates the National Democratic party is
essentially one with that which animates the
lawless and barbarou Ku-Klux Klan of the
South. Since that article was published the
manifestations of that party spirit in various
parts of the country have confirmed all its
statements and inferences. The attacks on
processions of Republicans in this and other
cities, and the assaults made upon well
known Republicans in various portions of the
North, indicate that the sentiments of Frank
Blair, and Wade Hampton, and Benjamin
Hill, and Forrest, the butcher of negroes, are
pervading the rank and file of the party every
where. But the details given in our dispatches,
pnblished this morning, of the dangerous
nature and illegal aims of a secret organiza
tion of great strength, wide extent, and
thorough discipline, already formed in Mis
souri, lor the purpose of carrying that State
for Seymour and Blair in spite of law, and in
contempt of loyalty, afford the most direct and
palpable evidence of the correctness of the
views already expressed by us. This plot,
the charaoter of whioh has been, by good for
tune, thns prematurely exposed, is not only
in sympathy, but in alliance with the binds
of lawless Democrats in the Sonth, who have
shocked every sentiment of honor, patriotism,
and hnmanity, by their heinous crimes, aud
there is reason to believe it is only one of seve
ral branches of the conspiracy against Repub
lican government, which has for its purpose
to put the Democratio party in power, at all
hazards, regardless of law and of majorities,
by riot, bloodshed, and revolution, if these
means appear to be necessary.
This is not a trifling matter not a tempo
rary sensation. It is a formidable and alarm
ing plot against the liberties upon which re
publican institutions are based. It demands
thoughtful attention, and immediate, deter
mined action. Klther the laws must bs main
tained, or the country will beoome another
Mexico, cursed with anarchy, without seourity
of life or property, without liberty of speech,
or freedom of political aotlon. Lat every pa
triotic citizen dibcountenanoe these schemes of
lawlessness, and by bis vote iu the coming
elections unmistakably pronounce his con
demnation of the party which resorts to such
means for feouriug the gratification of its des
perate lust for power and spoils.
