I Frum the mo w , A ge j people of - the United-Slides are just no-,v, complaining of oppressive taxation. ilia item of expense has become sod burden some as to seriously interfere with -the busi ness of the country. The manufacturer is taxed for-the -raw material he purehased, l again taxed upon the articles constructed • out of that material, and, in addition, obliged ' to pay an income tax upon the proceeds of his industry, labor, and enterprise. Commis- sioner Wells says that "not less than' ten thousand articles pay internal' revenue 'ire= 'positions," and Federal taxation ott Pro : ducts at successive stages of their manufac ture are so excessive that. we have no chance of competing in foreign markets with other nations. This condition of things has broken up many branches of industry alto gether, and capitalist& have abandoned the I field. Such action, of course, operates In an injurious manner upon the general interests of the nation, and laborers are becoming res tive and dissatisfied, while at the same time capitalists are disposed to curtail their in vt.tments rather than to enlarge them. The only way to reduce the taxes is to re duce the expenses of the government. The people of the United States before the war were charged'two dollars and fifty cents per capita for the annual expenditures of the general government. Then, seventy-seven millions were sufficient to cover the current disbursements from the national Treasury Now our interest account alone will absorb double that sum, while the other expenses are maintained at a ruinously high figure.' The Freedman's Bureau, the cost of investi gation committees appointed by the Radical Congress for political effect, and other de vices, have, even since the Way, kept the ont -I:l3's of the Government six-fold in advance of those in 1860.

KTDOE, Hon; George Sharswoolt, OF PHILADELPHIA THERE is an editor Kniantsroo, Michi gan, who is in favor of General. Fremont for next President. Barnum has sent for him. AT an election for School Directors, -held at 'Lancaster, on Friday last, the DensoCrats elected their ticket by a thousand majority. This is the largest. : aaajOrity ever given in that city.. GEN. UVNGSTREET denies that he has gone over to.the Radicals.. lie says that he only wishes the South to adjust -preinut difficulties by organizing under the Military ILIAD. SrEvEto declines to become the guest of the City Council, of Baltimore. for vant of time.—Telegram. lie will not be allowed that excuse - when he comes to be the guest of the old chappf below rkt; announcement is made that Sheridan has backed down from his lofty elevation, and will extend the registration. in New Or leans, as ordered by the President. It does not seem to be disputed that Gen. Grantand the President are in harmony upon thisottes tion; itAXTMILIAtir 'SHOT Official intelligehee has been received by the Austrian-Minister at Washington ; and is confirmed by official dispatches to our gov ernment, to the effect that the ex-Emperor of Mexico, Maximilian, had been sentenced to. death by a court-martial, and that the sentence had been carried into _effect at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 19th of June, by shooting him dead with a file of Mexican soldiers, The despatch comes from the cap tain of an Amstrian sloop-of-war, which ar rived on the 29th inst., drapettin mourning, :it New Orleans, direct from Vera Cruz. We regard this execution'as a disaster to Mexico, 'n insult to the United States, and a scandal 0 mankind. Whatever may be said if his in perial enterpri.e, Maximilian vas a liberal . ti enlightened prince. When Aus tria ma e him Niceroy of the Italian prov ince. ht was so generous toward conquered 'Lomba ly and Venice that he was recalled. In Me 'co such n rule as was permitted to hint :Cowed a progressive statesmanship. He was an accomplished gentleman. The end of his life shows that he was a brave and self-denying goldter. To take such a man, a prisoner, in broad day, and shoot hint, merely because he had been unfortunate In war, is a blunder. To do so in defiance of the civilizekworld is a crime. Onr Gov ernment merely asked the poor boon of this helpless, unfortunate young man's life, and it was denied. We gave Mexico national triumph, and in return she spurns even our counsels of mercy. BLACK RECRV/T8 NEEDED • The Radicals are in great and- distressing need of negro votes. Negro suffrage is their only hope of salvation; and if that should fail them, how awful must be their condition. They would be doomed to perish miserably. They see the handwriting on the wall that they have been "weighed in the balance and found wanting," and hence their frothy and almost maniac appeals fir negro suffrage. The sentence against them is uttered by men of their oWn party. "A long war with its demoralizing influences," says • Thurlow Wecti, - thas cankered the Republican party." - This cankered, corrupt, rot ten party is now controlling the destinies of this great Repub lic. But its leaders see clearly that its cor rnption'und rottenness will soon end in its annihilation. Hence, they seek to inoculate it with a new element—the African—to in fttse a little more life and vigor into it and preserve lit deiaying, rotten carcass a little longer from utter extinction. This is, in hie!, a tacit, but yet a most clear and unde niable, admisilon—that the white voters of the country will overthroW the Radical par ty and drive the cosruptionists from the high places of trust anti power. They dare not trust the white men of the country. They are afiaid of them, Hence, their de cided purpose to give the negroes the right to vote in order that they may vote for Rad icals. Mitt is_the sum and sulitance of their clamor for negro suffrage. It is a mean -and cowardly motive, but it is the sole one that actuates the Radical polificianS. WHAT OVOHT TO BO DOSE. Xow is 'Willie, says the World, to pre pare for the great Presidential contest of 18i IS, upon the result of which dependS civil liberty in this country. It is to settle the question whether we are to be governed by the Constitution and laws, or by the whims and caprice of an irresponsible majority of a Rump Congress. 'lt is to determine, more than any other election that has preceded - it, for or against the representative constitution al government established by the heroes and sages of the Revolution. It is to determine whether we shall be a great, powerful, free and prosperous nation, governed by wise and humane laws, or whether the country is tots' torn to pieces by Diction and violence, and finally to end in despotism. If the country is to be redeemed from its present downward tendency, - it must be done through the prin ciples and the sway of the Democratic party. This is a matter that vitally concerns us all. ERs are all alike interested. We cannot es cape its consequences, however we may neg lect tour duties. Each and every Deinocrat has u duty to perform,-, and , iu no other way calt;Eso much- good he accomplished us' by the timely diffusion of sound Democratic newspapers. Every Democrat should con stitute himself a committee of one for that purpose. Put them on the cross-roads; put the Min the families of the poor, and in the hands of moderate Republicans. Get up sub scriptions among Democrats who are able and willing to contribute for gratuitous cir culation. Democrats have failed in their du ty in this respect. Our opponents circulate five papers - Jo our one. They appeal to men's passions ; Democrats appeal to their reason and their patriotism.. Oar opponents are chiefly held together by lust of power and public plunder; we are unitednpon the great and tried principles of civil and religious liberty. , Their history is one of strife, blood shed, disunion, bankruptey, and widespread national calatu4; whilst O4, 114 STATE STREET 3) PER CENT.
