We hnve in this woik just what the peo- pie nad, in erder to form a reliable and in. teiligent pinion vpon the legislation of the famous, and they are to a brief but searching analysis by Yr. Malony. He shows how cunningly and dexteronsly the Tax Bill is drawn, so as wo make the b rdea of taxation fall on the laboring sud producing classes. It is assess- ed upon necessaries of life and implements ef invor rather than upon luxuries, indulged in erly by those who could ufford to pay tax wpcn such luxurious irdulgences.

IFinal'y comes the In- dewnity bill, the crowning act of all, which v.rtually suspends the Constitution, and which, in the language of Senator Bayard, of Deleware, ought to he entitled, “A Bill to Create a Dictator.” All of these Acts ar® given in {ull in this volume, and they must be very acceptable in this form to a large number of people who desiie to have authen- tic copice of there acts, examine their odious details, and preserve them for reference. Every Democrat will wast them altogeth- of, £0 48 to take inat one view the criminal ity of the men who thus surrendered the rights of the people which they had been e' ected to preserve.

How- adda, N.Y, ! thm, Can They be Honest? We have often wondered how men who profess to have human feelings—mon who pretend to believe in christian civilization— men who have claimed to be humanitarian in principle, can with any conscience, still clamor for the {reedom of the negro, when the sad effects of their false teachings are 0 plainly visible. Did not the present eon- dition of the emancipated ‘slaves’ that are dying by hundreds alory our borders, teach them that the freedom of the white man 18 not suited to the capacity of the black, and that thus forcing them from their normal condition is as destructive and cruz! to them, as it is to fish to be taken from the water ; we might yet believe that they were honest in their convictions and wished bur to benefit an inferior race.

All persons who are acquamted with the political course of the party for which the Tribune speaks, knows that it has always advoca ed the abolition of “sla- very” —that ii. has taught the doctrine that negro servitude was a sin in the sight of God - that our Constitution, because it re- cognized that *‘barbarous institution” was a ‘covenant with death and an asrcement with hell*’—that oar good old i begatise it waved in the wild winds of Hewven over the ‘oppressed and down trodden newro’ was a “flaunting lie,” “a polluted rag,” that ‘slavery” was the “sam of all vilanies,” and “slavebolders”™ the Blackest “harbae- ian,” and still farthe: : It has proclaimed that most henious, outrageous, unnatural and profane doctrine, know as the “qual ity of the races,” the application of » hich to our political and social system of govern- ment, would end in the total destruction of asthority, of custom, and of law, and bring upon us free white citizens, ‘want, misery, abuse, discase.” anarchy and a state of existence wor. e than that of the degraded root-digger of the Rocky moun- tains or of the most barbarous tribes that roam over the sun burnt soil of Africa.

From 1800 to 1860, the American Dem- ocracy have ruled this great country, secur- ed all its prosperity and gave it all its pres- tice and grandewr. This Democracy was made up of the ‘ slaveholders’ of the South and the laborers of the North, or, we shou'a say, perhaps, of the planters of the South and the farmers of the North : at all events, of the producing classes of the two great sections of the country. They want noth- ing from government—especially of the com- mon or Confederate government—save pro- tection from external aggression, and there- fore are opposed to national banks, tariffs, fishing bounties. national debts, steambecat ing schemes of the non-producing and spec- ulating classes of the North. This Democ- racy, were we a simple, centralized or Rus- sianized nationality, as the supporters of Mr. Lincoln contend, would always govern, though, like Rome iu other days, the major- ity would, of course, degenerate nto a des- potism, or indeed into absclutism, as Russia has in modern times. Bat though a people, we are not a nation, in the European sense, and the single fact that Mr. Lincoln 15 Pres- ident is the proof, beyond doubt, that we are a Confederate Republic, composed of united States. for were it otherwise, were we a mere nation, he would need a million wore votes in order to represent its will. — The Staies make the President, the Senate, the Supreme Court, all the functionaries of the Confederate Republic while the House of Representatives may Aelp vote the means to pay them, but that is all the evidence we have of nationality. There is, doubtless, a fatal defect in our electoral machinery, which the writer of this, years ago, pointed out to Colonel Davis and other eminent southern Democrats, and which, at one time they re- ally hoped to rectify, but finally found it was ‘too late,” and the great struggle with the Abolition lunacy could not be avoided and might be percipitated by the very means re- sorted to escape it. Perhaps they were right—the ¢¢ irrepressible conflict” must be fought out—the negro must remain in his condition or be forced into ours—this mast continue a white Republic or be distorted into a mongrel concern—we wust remain a Caucasian people, ae God created us, or de- bauch and destroy ourselves, as the Span- iards have done, by amalgamation with the lower races of this continent. Hitherto, our defective electoral machin- ery did not work badly, Presidents were elected by a wajority of States, bat all also represented a maj rity of the people, and even in the case vf the younger Adams, who -1ecame Presiden: reais t (he will of a ma- jority, he was not beastie to that majority or to any section of the eoantry.

True, their friends in the North voted against Mr. Lin- coln, but even supposing them true to their southern aliies, how ceuld they aid them ? Mr. Lincoln's party had every northern State, and now, with the pov er and prestige of the federal governmeni ia their hands, how was the northern minority to defend their brethren of the South? ~The South. conquered by the Aholition lunacy of the North, through the ballot box, could only stand still and look on with the hope that their *« friends,” the Bradys, Dickensons, Sickleses and Cochranes would fight their battles in 1864. and win the day, though these “friends” themselves fight only for spoils, and, as recent events show, they go where the chances of success are greatest. The southern Democracy, therefore. refus- ed to submit to a sectional party, wnich not only struck down the right of selt-govern- ment in fourteen States, but stood pledged to wield the power and prestige of the gov- ernment—their own government —for forcing a destiny on themsclyes and their posterity worse than death! Perhaps they were wrong ; perhaps the great rrincipie, suppose. ed to nave been settled in 1779, was wrong: perhaps Mississippi, South Carolina, &ec., where Mr. Lincoln had not a single suppor- ter, should have submitted to him without protest ; perhapa they were still more wrong in preserving their offspring from the doom which has overtaken that of the Spaniards of the fifteenth century, and therefore, like the abject and degraded subjects of Jamaica, &c., should have contemplated impartial freedom” with their negroes with patience and submission! But, be this as it may, or whatever may be the verdict of posterity on the course of the South, all Democrats agree in regard to the fatality of the existing condition, which enables fauatical and dis- union mivority of less than one-third, to govern and to plunge the great American people into all the nameless and unfithoma- ble horrors of civil war!

Nevetheles this vast majority, these (wo-thirds of the American people who wvojed against Mr Lincoln, ard hurled against each other, and cutting eachother’s throats at the commana of the minority, and for what?

Humanity of Fanaticism. A few years ago a defenceless man,doing his duty as jailor to a Boston prison, was murdered in cold blood by a mob who were attempting to rescue a fusitive slave. Near the latter part of the 17th century twenty persons were hung at ‘Gallows Ill,” anout of the former outrage, for being suspected of practicing witcheraft. There is only a differ- erce of years between the furious fanaticism which stained his hands in a tnmult of rage with the biood of an innocent white man in the unlawful rescue of a black fuzitive from justice, and the solemn superstition which hung on “Callows ITili,” twenty miserable old women for ungodly practices in magic.
