of State.” Published by Van. Evrie, Hor-

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. The Fin-
ange Act 5 itl further mortages<he labor of
the eountry, in piscing ihe entire currency
of the people in he Lands of the Scoretary of
the Ticasury. who can sell the erudit of the
United States for any sum and ang price be

which boldly ignores Siate laws and State
Congiitations, and forces men, nolens volens
into the arroy and siill keeping alive the od)
fous princiyles running through all these sets
ef favors to the rich, who can avoid wilitary
service by pay ng $300, while the poor man
18 compelled ro go. 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. Many editions of the Tax
Law alone sell for that, but here we have the
four enactments entire for that sum, in a
pamphlet of 160 j ages in large type.

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. For long y-arg
before the commencement of the present at-
tempt upon the heart of the Federal admin-
1sfration to ‘annihilate slavery” and de-
Stroy the rights of the States and of the peo-
ple, the class of persons {o whom we refer,
claimed to be laboring for (he good and
happiness of the biack race ; hut now their
organ, the New York T'ibune, asserts it is
“not surprised or disapnornied” at the Swant
misery, abuse und disease to which the
freed slaves are subjected” This as
sertion is true, or it is false.
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. An-
ply this doctrine of “equality of the racey”
Why we Should Have Energetic Action.
** Shame for what is occurring is the great-
est necessity jor freemen to act,” said the
great orator and statesman, Demosthenes,
when exhorting the Athenians to arouse
aad resist the encroahments of Phillip and
bis fellowers. How justly does the remark
apply to uy as citizens of the American
Republic-=citizens who have enjoyed all the
liberties and blessings which a free and mn-
nificent Government could gecure to them,
but who, through their own neglect, and the
ambition of tyranmical rulers, are within one
step of being tho most abject slaves on the
face of the earth. Nothing but courage and
determination, such as sustained our fathers
on the red ficlds of the Revolution, will save
ud from the degradation to which those
who ruls would plunge us, and it remains
hui for every citizen to gird on his armor
ard beat back the powers that would enslave
him. We know there are weak, timid,
faithless men who will fear to meet the issue
pressed upon them by this Administration,
but truss, that there are still left, enough
of true freemen who will grasp from the ty-
ant, the rights which have so ruthlessly

Words of Wisdom from Union Rien.
‘Let there be no change by usurpation,
for though this, in one instance. may be the
instrument of good, it.is the customary wea-
pon by which frcz Governments are destroy-
ed, The precedent most always greatly
overbalance. in permanent evil, any pariial
or trapsient benefit which the use can at any
tinis yield.” Washington's Farewell ‘Ad-
dress.
If the infernal fenatics and Abolitionists
ever get the power in their hands. they will
override the Uonstitution, sot the Supreme
Court at deflance, change and make laws to
suit themselves, lay violent hands on those
who differ with thew in their opinions, or
dare to Guestion their infalibality, and finally
bankrupt the country, and deluge it with
blood,” — Pauiel Wehster.
“eNver luil to protest against any violence
of the Constitution. nor let any member of
the Government transgress. People are ve-
ry easy hibituated to encroachments upon
their liberties. The siren song was fatal to
the listener. The people should advise the
Government to change its course.” —Jokn J.
Crittenden.

Shall tho Minority rule the Majority?
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. But in

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! What an astound-
ing anomaly ! We, who pride ourselves on
sur Democracy, and, for eighty years, have
rendered iy perfectly successful, have sud-
denly collapsed into the European system,
where the mivority goverra! And “uch a
mmority !- a minerity which, coula it sne-
ceed in forcing its “idea” on the country
would degrade thirty millions of brave, in
telligent Americans into cquali'y wiih four

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.
The poor jailor who was brained on the pav-
ment by the madness ot the mob at Boston
was a victim to essentially the same spirit
as that which inspired Cotton Maller and
hung Tituba and her fellew-suffirers at Sa-
