"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
compromised. 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."

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

to secure sound sleep, a good•appetite and
clear conscience than by PAYING THE PRINT

elegant engraving of the Washington Mon

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.,

paper 3 mills per lb.; soap 5 mills per lb.;

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

1862.
The Public Examination of the classes

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

would like to make from the evidence.—
Many of the disclosures are startling.

Hereafter we will print 50 Nos. to a

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.

Cabinet of President Davis:—
J. P. Benjamin, of Louisiana, Secretary
of State.

TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT
Wustres, John Deyarmon, a worthy
private of our Company, died at Cumber
land Hospital on the 12th day of February,

agreeable companion in arms, and a most
amiable gentleman.
Resolved, That it is with the deepest re

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.

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.

WE, the undersigned Commissioner" of Greene
County, do certify the above to be a true statement of
the aggregate amount of assessments and valuations
of the several objects taxable by the Laws of this Com
monwealth, for State and County purposes, as return
ed by the Assessors of the several townships for the
year 1862, and the State Tax thereon.

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
