It knows no baseness; it cowers to no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of Freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations—the la* of nature pervading the law of the land." WAYNESBURG, PA. Wednesday, March 12,1862. DEMOORATIO MEETING. There will be a Democratic meeting, in the Court House, in Waynesburg, on Tues day evening of the first week of March Court, being the 18th inst. A full attend ance of the Democracy is desired at that time, as business of moment to the party will be transacted. R. A. McCONNELL, Chairman of County Corn March 7th, 1862. THE REBELLION. However it may have been with others, we have never bad a doubt of the eventual suppression of the Southern rebellion, and of the ability of the Federal Government to recover and maintain its authority.— Our conviction, from the inception of the war, has been that the Southern people could not command the means to prose cute the struggle with any degree of ener gy and success, or for any considerable length of time. With their ports diligent ly blockaded, with no market for their cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, &c., and with out the ability to borrow a dollar from foreign capitalists, it was evident to us that they would soon be in a most embar rassing and harassioi want of "the sinews." Their wealth as a section and a people has consisted rather in plantations and slaves than bullion, and such property was not to be easily or generally convert ed into gold and silver. Under these cir cumstances, we could not see the shadow of a chance for the "Jeff. Davis" govern ment, or the slightest probability of their protracting, indefinitely, a rebellion so ex tensive and so enormously expensive as this was likely to prove. In addition to their pecuniary straits and troubles, the rebel authorities have had to grapple with a Union sentiment, in their midst, which, though quiet and cautious, has been none the less formidable. They have also had the great disadvantage to contend with of having the theatre of the war confined to their own territory. The destruction of property in Virginia, South Carolina and elsewhere has been incalcu lable, and must necessarily render those who have suffered from it exceedingly restive and discontented with the men and the causes that have brought it upon them. In view of kll these disconragements of the rebels and their leaders, is it any won der that the "Confederacy" should be a thing of a day? or that the war they wage upon the Federal Government and Union should soon exhaust their exchequer and the patience of their deluded people? Foreign intervention, armed intervention, in their behalf, has been the only thing upon which they could base a reasonable hope ofsuccess ; and even it, we are happy to say, is likely to fail them. The recent brilliant triumphs of the Federal arms will deter England and France from any rash interference in our affairs, and will, we trust, secure us an "open field and a fair fight." In that event, we have no fear of results. DECLINES THE PRESIDENCY. Hon. Wm. H. SEWARD has written a letter to a political association in Phila delphia bearing his name and organized for the purpose of urging his claims to the next Presidency, in which he very emphat ically declines being a candidate. This, Mr. SEWARD can very safely do. Although one of the ablest men in the ranks of the Opposition, and sincerely attached, as we doubt not, to his country and her institu tions, Mr. SEWARD belongs to a class of politicians who have "had their day," and he is just as likely to be "struck by light ning" as elected to the Presidency. The rule of politicians and parties of narrow views and sectional aims is at an end in -this Republic. Henceforth the destinies and policy of the country will be commit ted to the,hands of men of broader patri otism and radically different political the ories and convictions from the extremists, South and North, who brought upon us the present deplorable civil war. LEGION OF HONOR. Our thanks are due to the kind friends who have enrolled themselves in our "Le gion of Honor." There is no better way to secure sound sleep, a good•appetite and clear conscience than by PAYING THE PRINT ER. agrOur good friend, Wm. A. PORTER, Egg., has our thanks for the present of an elegant engraving of the Washington Mon ument, and a portrait of the illustrious patriot acrd hero himself. m i r The health of our army on the Po tomac is said to be improving rapidly.— The mea are becoming accustomed to ex posure, and are settlag fat on army fare.

REOORD YOUR DEEDS, We again urge on persons interested the importance of having their deeds recorded. It will cost but little, and is the only safe guard against fraudulent conveyances.— If you want to avoid trouble, attend to this matter. TUE COMMISSIONERS AND THE ASSESSMENT. By an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that the Commissioners have considerably increased the valuation of real and personal property in several townships of the county. The propriety of correcting palpably erroneous assess ments, with a view to equalizing the bur then of taxation, is too apparent to require defence or apology. No reasonable man will condemn the course the Commission ers have felt themselves constrained to take in the matter. On the contrary, we trust all will commend the step as obvi ously proper and just. This is the title of a Democratic weekly journal published at Columbus, Ohio, by SAM. MEnettY, with whom our earliest rec o]ections of newspapers and politics are associated. The "Statesman" of 1840, under the control of Gov. Medary, was one of the ablest and most efficient organs of the party West of the mountains, and had a wide circulation and popularity. Few men write with more force than Medary, and no one is more independent and fear less in the expression of his opinions.— Twenty years have neither abated his zeal in the Democratic cause, nor impaired the vigor of his intellect, and we hope he may serve the party even better for a com ing decade or two than he did when his years were fewer and his blood hotter. The general Tax Bill has been presented to Congress by the Committee having it in charge. It provides for thorough and heavy taxation, and imposes its burthens alike upon all classes, professions and call ings. Nobody is exempt, and everybody is expected to "face the music." Even printers, who have .heretofore been taxed little or nothing beeause it was found im possible to collect more than a shilling at a time off of the poor devils, are compelled, by this bill, to shell out eagles and half eagles without number and without a grunt. Where they are to come from, this "deponent saith not, and cannot say."— Perhaps some sympathizing friend will lend us a handful now and then ? We find printing paper is taxed 3 mills per pound, all advertisements are taxed 5 per cent., while all incomes above $600,00 are taxed 3 per cent., besides probably other forms of taxation of which we yet know not. This will take the greater part of the profits of every paper, and will in jure them indirectly much more. Below is a synopsis of the Bill, as it has reached I= It provides for a duty on spirituous liquors, of 15 cents per gallon ; on ale or beer $1 per barrel ; stem or leaf tobacco lc. per lb., to add, when manufactered, 5c., and on cigars 5, 10 and 20c. per lb., according to value ; lard or linseed oil, burning fluid, crude oil sc. per gallon ; refined coal oil 10c. per gallon ; gas, per 1000 cubic feet, 25c.; bank note paper se. per lb.; writing paper 2c. per lb.; printing paper 3 mills per lb.; soap 5 mills per lb.; salt 4c. per 100 lbs.; sole leather lc. per lb.; upper leather ic. per lb.; :flour 10c. per bbl.; all other manufactures 3 per centum advalorem ; on railroad passen gers 2 mills per mile of travel ; commuta tion ticket 3 per ct.; steamboat travel 1 mill per mile; omnibuses, ferry boats and horse railroads 3 per cent, on gross re ceipts from passengers ; advertisements 5 per cent. on amount of receipts annually for use ; the use of carriages annually from $1 to $lO, according to value ; gold watches $1 ; silver watches 50c.; gold plate 50c. per ounce ; silver plate 3c per ounce ; billiard tables $2O ; on slaugh tered cattle 50c. each ; hogs 10c. ; sheep sc. ; licenes, bankers', $lOO ; auctioneer's $2O ; wholesale dealers $350 ; retail dealers in liquors, $2O; retail dealers in goods, $lO ; pawnbrokers, $5O ; rectifiers, 100 ; brewers, $5O; hotels, inns and taverns, graduated according to rental, from $5O to $2OO ; eating houses, $lO , commercial brokers, $5O ; other brokers, $2O ; theatres, $lOO ; circuses, $5O; bowling alleys, $5 each alley ; wholesale pedlers, $5O ; other ped lers, $5 to $2O ; oil distillers, $2O, &c., in come 2 per cent. on all over $6OO, deduct ing income derived from dividends, &c., which are taxed separately ; railroad bonds and dividends of banks and saving insti tutions, 3 per cent. ; payments of all sala ries of officers in the civil, military or na val service of the United States, including Senators and members of Congress, 3 per cent. ; legacies and distributive shares of personal property of deceased persons, from Ito 5 per cent., according to the de grees of relationship, and stamp duties on all kinds of legal and commercial papers, all patent medicines, telegraphic messa ges, and all goods by express. The bill also provides for the appointment by the President of a Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with a salary of $5,000, his office to be in the Treasury Department, with a suitable number of clerks. The country is to be divided, as the President may di rect, into convenient election districts, with an asessor and collector, to be ap pointed by the President, for each distaict, who shall have the power to appoint such deputies as may be necessary. The tax bill was reported to the House to-day. WAYNESBURG COLLEGE. The Semi-annual Examination of the classes in Waynesburg College will be held on the 18th and 19th days of March, 1862. The Public Examination of the classes in the Female Department will beheld on Thursday the 20th, and on the evening of the same day the ladies of the Institution will give a Literary Entertainment. The Report of the Congressional Committee to investigate Army Contracts has just been received. It makes a vol ume of over 1100 pages, and the evidence of stupenduous frauds on the government is overwhelming. We regret that our space forbids the lengthly extracts we would like to make from the evidence.— Many of the disclosures are startling. ggigrA communication oa the Tonnage Tax, sad a letter from our Harrisburg cor respondent agr i in type, bog we are cowipe u. ed 'to Is the over “THE CRISIS.” THE WAR TAX. 50 NOS.

This is the custom with many of our cotemporaries, and is right and proper, as printers need a a little recreation as well as other people. TURNING THE WAR TO PARTIZAN PURPOSES. The "Harrisburg Patriot" asserts a truth, warranted by facts, when it declares that the enemies of the Democratic par ty have sought to turn the excitement growing out of the war to the basest par tizan purposes. While constantly insist ing that the Northern people should be of one find and heart, they have labored unceasingly to produce discord and division. Every man who is a Democrat, and insists upon maintaining Democratic principles and an organization which shall make those principles effective, is pointed at as a traitor or a secret sympathizer with Seces sion by those who insolently arrogate to themselves all the patriotism in the land. If a Democrat cries out against the fraud and corruption, by means of which a gang of patriotic cormorants have made collos sal fortunes, be is attempting to distract the people and embarrass the Administra tion. Public plunderers must not be dis turbed in their infamous vocation. They must be permitted to feed and fatten on what they filch from the Treasury without a whisper of condemnation, lest, forsooth, the good cause may suffer by their expos ure. The Administration has been annoy ed and embarrassed, but by whom ? Who plundered the Treasury ? Who furnished rotten provisions and detective firearms to the Government? Who swindled it in horse contracts? Who raised a clamor at the removal of Fremont ? What class of men are now importuning and annoy ing the Administration about emancipa tion ? Who made an assault upon Gen. MCCLELLAN the other day in the House of Representatives? Who is thus endeavor ingto undermine public confidence in our public servants and our military chiefs?— Not the Democratic party. It is not the source from which all these annoying and distracting causes have proceeded ; but they have their origin in the party that arrogates to itself all the patriotism and honesty in the country. And yet, with a full knowledge of these facts, that very virtuous patriot, Jour; W. FORNEY, and other Republican scribblers and politicians endeavor day after day to persuade their readers and the people that the Democrat ic party is disloyal and disorganizing, and that its purpose is to divide the people and ultimately to destroy the Govern ment. This miserable party slang has had its day. The people understand quite thor oughly what it means—and the Democra cy of Pennsylvania, who cherish an abid ing faith that the great constitutional principles for which they contend, are nec essary to the salvation of the Union, are not to be deterred from maintaining their organization by anything that the grand pensioners of the Republican party can say or write against them. THE RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRACY. Governor SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, was nominated for re-election by a Demo cratic State Convention, held in Provi dence a few days ago. The following is a portion of the platform : "The Democracy of Rhode Island stand to-day upon their ancient plat form; that they are for the country and nothing less than the country,— for the Union and the Constitution, without condition or higher law res ervation,—for peace with all men and all nations, when it can be honorably secured or preserved, and for war when peace is no longer consistent with national dignity or the preser vation of the people's rights." The second resolution is— "That while this civil war contin ues it is our duty and the duty of all the loyal citizens, to render the Government a cheerful and earnest support; to stand by it in the en forcement of all constitutional meas ares tending to the suppression of armed rebellion. This resolution concludes with congrat ulations on the recent brilliant victories.— The following is the most important of the resolutions in full : Resolved, That the effort now being made to divert this war from its orig inal purpose, as proclaimed by the President and Congress of the United States seven months ago— the maintainance of the Federal Constitution and the preservation of the Union's integrity—and to turn it into a war for the emancipation of slaves and the subjugation of the Southern States or their return to a Territorial condition, is an effort against the Union, against the Con stitution, against justice and again: humanity, and should be promptly frowned upon by all the friends of Democratic institutions. It is un worthy of loyal citizens and can find support only with sectional fanatics, who have no love for the Union or desire for its restoration, and whose highest patriotism is an unnatural and unrighteous hatred of the citi zens of sister States. And whereas, we perceive gratifying indications that President Lincoln is resisting and will continue to resist this trea sonable effort,. it is further resolved that in such patriotic resistance he is entitled to and does and shall contin ue to receive, our cordial sympathy and unfaltering support. JEFFERSON DAVIS' OAEMET. A Richmond paper says that the follow ing will, in all probability, constitute the Cabinet of President Davis:— J. P. Benjamin, of Louisiana, Secretary of State. Gen. Lee, Secretary of War. Brigadier General George W. Randolph, of Virginia, Secretary of Navy. C. G. Menuninger, of South Carolina, Secretary of Treasury, Mr. Henry, M.

TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT Wustres, John Deyarmon, a worthy private of our Company, died at Cumber land Hospital on the 12th day of February, 1862, after a protracted attack of measles; therefore, Resolved, By the officers and privates of Company F, 7th Va. Reg't., Va. Vol., that in the death of J. DEYARION, we ex perience the loss of a worthy soldier, an agreeable companion in arms, and a most amiable gentleman. Resolved, That it is with the deepest re gret and most profound sorrow that we chronicle his death. Resolved, That though he died of disease, he was none the less a patriotic, brave and noble soldier, nor was his death ren— dered any theless glorious. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his parents and friends in their be reavement. Resolved, That copies of the above be sent to the Greene county papers—and the American Standard will also please copy. Orderly Serg't ELI BRANT, Corporal JAMES A. RICE, Coin. Corporal GEO. W. SLOUGH, CAMP CHASE, PAW-PAW TUNNEL, Morgan Co., Va., February 22, 1862. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted by Company B. of the Ist Virginia Cavalry. HERRAS : L. C. Deaver, a member of this company, and a citizen of Richhill township, Greene county, Pa. died in the hospital at Cumberland, Md. on the 11th inst. of Camp Fever: and whereas, it is eminently fit and proper that we offer some tribute of respect to the memory of one who united his life and fortunes with us in the defence of his country in the time of its peril, notwithstanding the delicacy of hi§ health. Resolved, 1. That while we bow submis sively to the will of Providence, in striking down one of our number with the arrow of death, we sincerely mourn the lose his death has occasioned to our ranks. Resolved, 2. That we tender our earnest sympathy to his parents for the loss they have sustained in the death of their son, far from home and paternal care ; yet console them with the fact that he was nobly serving his country. Resolved, 3. That these resolutions be sent to the Waynesburg Messenger for pub lication, and that the Republican also be be requested to publisb them; and that they send his parents a copy of their papers containing them.

WILLIAM BRADEN, ELIAL LONG, Com. DANIEL THROCILMORTON, ArrasT, B. F. LONG, Clerk, TO THE PUBLIO. WE, the undersigned Commissioners of Greene County, impelled by a sense °kite obligation of our oaths and of our duty to the public, and in obedience to the law requiring us to "carefully examine and cor rect the assessments as returned by the Assessors of the several townships, and to raise or reduce the same it they find improper valuations have been made." do hereby make known that we have made a full and complete examination of the assessments of the several townships, and find that whilst all are far below the actual cash value of the real estate assessed. The assessments of many of the townships are so grossly below the real value of the property assessed, that to suffer them to remain would inflict great in justice upon the other townships whose property has been more correctly estimated. We have, therefore, raised the valuations on assessments of the real es tate of such townships, so sa to equalize them with the other townships of the County, as follows : Wayne township increased 10 per Whitely " " " 90 Centre PP . .
