Cbargo Along the Line, Boyt
The recent elections in almost every
part of the eountry show large gains for
the Dcmocraiio and Conservative party.
In Vermont, the gain is orer 8,000. In
Alton, Illinois, the Radicals nave been
defeated, although the town has hereto
fore been strongly Republican. Ia Ken
tucky Congrewman has been elected in
the place of Green Clay Smith (Rep.)
and General Ward, the Democratic candi
date elected almost without opposition.
Gen. Ronssean has been elected from the
Louisville district. So the tide is run
ning everywhere. Charge, boys, charge!
Tax-Payers, Bemembcr,
That it is tho Radical Party which yen
must thank for the ruin of the country
end the enormous and oppremvo taxation.
By adopting tho Crittenden compromise
in 1861, secession wouldjmight have been
ore-tented, snd the war averted. ' This
compromise would have stroogthenod the
hands of the Union men of thoso States
The Radical object of the war was an ut
ter overthrow of the Constitution and the
Onion of our fathers, whioh- ia all plainly
manifest now.' ' They denounce President
Jubnson now, because he is crdcavoring
to testoro tho Constitution and tho Union
One year ago all tho leaders of tho Rad
ical party, only required the South to ro
pudiate their war debt, to abolish the or
dinances of secession, and to confirm the
abolition of slavery, snd then loyal men
from those States would be admitted to
Congress. All this the Southern States
have done, and yet the Radicals refuse to
sdmit their Representatives. . After eight
months of Mating, their Congress sub
milled an amendment for these States to
accept, which is to give to the negro the
right to vote. " This they require of the
Southern, but not of the Northern Ststes.
This shows their justice snd sense of right,
WhyT Why are certain ' Northern
Governors buying up all the Sims they
can If they do not intend to plunge the
eountry into another civil war, should

Any person cognisant of tho condition
of sooiely in the South well knows that
tbe above section ezoludes for this gener
ation, at least, almost every capable and
ell imformed man in tho South from
holding publio. positions. : It is a new
theory of government whieb would drive
from tbe legislative halls, from thsbonoh
and from the army able men of tho coun

is only another lash to whip and dograde

JOT Tho Baltimore Convention, which
nominated Lincoln and Johnson for Pres
ident snd Vice President, was made up
of delegates from the Southern ss well as
the Northern" States. Tbe South was
sought to be ruled out by Thad. Stevens,
but the attempt . failed. , It was decided
as States In the. Union they had a right
to be represented. Now, Mr. Johnson,
the nominee of that Convention, is called
a traitor by some, because he is for the
admission of tbe Southern Jlopresctita-,

apply different -rule to Congress than

II. G. Norton, a delegate to (he mean
whites . Convention at Philadelphia, and
latelay one of tbe eompaty of . itinerant
miscegens started from the gathering, ar
rived here to-day. He states that be has
been foroed to leave the mixed erowd
through disgust at their designs and re-
pugaaaee at assooistiog with negroes up
on terms of sooial equality. He spoke at
Trenton with them a week ago last Mon
day, and was with them in Albany op
Sunday last. He represents himself ss
having been in their tull commence and
present at their privato meetings. Their
secret designs, he says, startled and -dis
gusted him, . Their main object ho de
clares to be to moke an essy living with
out honest labor, sod to get what - money
thoy can out of the credulous dupes upon
whom tber .can. impose. In order.. to
suecessfuly carry.'out this game they are
ready to make their speeches to suit tnetr
andiooccs, agreeably with thoir instruc
tions from the politicians by wbnrn they
are used in the different localities they
visit. But it is tbeir determination alter
the fall oloctions toinoiteanegro insurree

negro suffrage or negro insurrection. Ia
their confidential .conversations the ssy
this is a very good way to got a living to
day ; but when the clootions are over these
people will not want us, and then our on-
chance is to cot the - upper
hand of the Southern rebels by the
aid of the . disfranchisement and negro
votes, or to exterminate them by means
of a negro insurrection and aaother war,
wbicb would be sure to follow, The dis
covery of this design, Mr. Norton says,
determined to break his association with
tbe adventurers. 'He was farther resolved

tho free feeding, free riding and presents
they get keep the itinerant miscegone
togoiher. He says they do- not pay a
oent wherever l hey co, and have roceived
gifts of monoy, clothing, shirts snd shoes
st several places. He describes Randolph,
the negro, as the smartest of the band,
and says ho has collected a considerable
sum under the pretence of aid to black
ehurchca and schools in theSouth. non-
sicutt, another of the sturdy! beggars, so
licits subscriptions everywhere for hit
paper, end contrives to sponge a trifle,

Norton refutes all Tack' Hamiltons abate
ments about the condition of Texas, and
ssscrts thst be is kept away from that
State, not from Icar of assassination, bnt

, The desertor lolls some hard stories
about his late associates, 'and ssys that
Hunnieutt, after- preaching in Troy last

condition io Albany in too evening.'
This is all of course tbe statement of a
man who, as an associate of such a eom
pany, may well be open to critioism, bnt
his story at least shows esongh to prove
tbe real character of tne radical misergen

Sir At the close of the letter whioh
I addressed you on the I7th Septem-
VCK, A Hill Ub A WUVIU ftUUIDH JUU KgKlU,
and say somethiog of Government sxpea
ses and finanoos. ' .
In I860 the people oi the United States
bad a sound currency and n prosperous
commerce. Tbe mere currency of bank
notes left in the peoples bands as tbe re
sulting balance of trade, was 1480,000,.
000 and this was everywhere equal to
coin at tne place of issue.
The imports of commerce amounted to
$400,000,000, including tbe supplies
brought hither to be- exported again.
The exports of our produets st the ssme
time smounted to 1303,000,000, and this
difference between the imports and the
exports, which seemed to be a balance
against as, wss the messnre of our profits
io buying and selling between our own
eountry and other countries. This $400,
000,000 of imports wss for tho wholo body
of our people io sll the States. More
than two thirds of sll our exports Were
produced by tho Southern States ; the ar
ticles thus sent abroad were the exclusive
products of Southern labor, under ths di
rection of American skill and capital
But at the same lime these products
were made in behalf of all other skill and
capital, and by their aid. The West hsd
famished food, and animals, and machines
the North bsd furnished foreign im
ports and their own manufacture ; and
when ihe Southern products bad reached
the port of shipment, they represented so
much of our united capital, and skill, and
labor. We were then a united people,
not only by political consent, but by the
lews oi trsdo ana or political economy. -
In centra with tbis, two-nurds of tbe
ssme States wbicb made the above result,
now bave a paper oiroulatun of I8UU,UUUr
000, which is not redeemed anywhere nor
intended to be redeemed, until the vol
ume of it shall be t really reduced in
amount, and tbe residue made mora valu
able. This reduction in amount is to be
schieved by collecting from the people an
amount of taxes equal to the proposed
reduction, and then paying an equal
amount-of debt and destroying so many
of the publio promisory notes, which now
pass as money. .. The expense of tbe re
ductioo is to be paid by tho people of one
year for the benefit oi the poople bi next
year who bold the remaining money. . .
Uur imports lrom abroad are measured
in gold our exports are measured in pa
per money the paper dollar being worth
ordinarily about two-thirds ol a gold dol
lar, and with ibis disparity in values it is
not cosy to toll tho present balance of our
trade with other countries.
In 1SC0 tbe people of tho United States
were at neaca amonsr themselves, so far
as it was measured by the absence of
arms, but they were drawing to a olose of
that long sories of disturbances, whioh
were not by any means on one side onl.
snd which finally ended, in war. yv
then had 80,000,000 of people, and tho
expenditures of the Government in that
ysar were $63,000,000, including the in
terest or tbe publio aeou
In 18G1 the people found themselves
in tbe midst of war (as it ia convenient
to call It) between Ihe otates. The sec
retary of State told as, la bis foreign cor
respondence, that this war would be of
short duration ana inas tne sea a or mem
bers then absent from Coogress by seces
sion would scon be filled again.

in effect a total of $025,000,000 eolleoted
from 30,000,000 of people, if we count
the whole Union, or only 20,000,000 if
we count the people of the States which

From the beginning of the United
States Government in 1789,' when we bad
in round numbers 4,000,000 of people,
during tbs period sf forty years, at the
end of whioh we bad 13,000,000 of peo
ple (round numbers), tbs expenses si tbs
Government, including interest e) tbo
publio debt, were at the rats of ono mil
lion of dollars for one million of people.
And as stated above, in i860, at the end
of 70 years, the rate of expense was r
000,000 for 1,000,000 of people. Now
with 30,000,000 of people the same an
nual eharges are more than $20,000,000
to 1,000,000 of people. -
Every man is conscious that burdens
are upon him ; and in everything he buys
or uses, or eats or wears, be is mot with
augmented price. Tho merchant, ths .
dealer of every kind, the lawyer, ths
physioias, the banker, the broker, ths
sgentf the manufacturer must bars a U
eense to follow their lawful business tbs
msnufaolurer must pay n monthly lax oa
all be makes, and a yearly tax on all bis
profits ss income ; the farmer must pay
a tax on all tbe profit of bis lead, ana a
beginning has been mads in taxing tbe
crop itself in tbe esse of cotton and tobao
oo : and the principle onee admitted, it
will extend to corn and wheat ; and grass,'
and tho other vesture of bind, ss they now
claim that timber cut from land, which is
bnt a conversion of capital, shall bs rated
as an annual income and taxed as such. - .
Is Ohio we already bave this tax . on"
sgrieultcre, ia tbe shape of a tax' oa
whisky, which, at two dollars a gallon, hv
more than a.uuu per sent, oa its value at
the plaes when mads. ' Tbs growth of
corn in. Ohio, for wbicb oar soil sad eli-,
mate are so favorable. b"s been c reatly
promoted by the distillation of ths grain j
while the oheaper transportation of tbo
crop in this form, and tbe demand for tho ;
product abroad, gave permanenoe to the
manufacture. The incidental faedinc of.
to whioh the distiller looked for
their profits, gave abundant supplies of
pork for food, and lard to be converted,
into oil and candles, thai preventing oth
er manufactures. Mors than one-third
of all the whisky made was at ones con
verted into alcohol tor use m tbe arts and
fordomestie purposes. Ths tax of two
dollars a gallon on whisky amounts to a.
tax of mors than fonr dollars a gallon oa
alcohol, and thus drives it ontof use, when,
its price is raised to five dollars a gallon
instead of tbe seventy cents at whioh it
formerly sold. This destruction of tho'
use of alcohol is a destruction of that
muob demand for corn, and sooordingly,
the great crop of Ohio and of the wholo
West is proportionately injured. J
The evil of this tax is already felt' bf
corn growers, and is visibls to every one
While tbe market pneo or corn for distil
lation remains at its former aomiaal
rate, and the price of whisky also remains'
at its former nominal rato (the balance;
after paying tax), lbs purchasing value)
of both, is reduced to little more tbaa half
their former value, by tbe augmented)
prion of everything else) and if it bet
MMomd thai thaao ancBMnted nriaea at
everything else sro lbs result of a depre.
elated currency, it mat ten net, to tho set
grower, for tbs prioos of son sad its prow
duots remain srilkoat ekaage-
There is still another evil f for ttis
soormoas snd sodas tax places lbs boarW
ness of distillation beyond) the moans ef
ordinary men to carry it coyae thoy form
erly could ; nod now none ra posoo el
great capital aid targe credit alae, eaa
continue tbs business ; and than ths await
uiacture is earriea on s bus sew pstees.
and the market fur eorais nronortiatiattd
embarrassed. .:.'.., ;, ,;;.,,,..
The views here given are mob as .be
long to a great commercial question.' and
it is here treated in no other view, for, it
is no moral question. Ths oely power
given to Congress for taxation is to hrjf
taxes for revenue. They hare no power
to lay taxes to suppress production or to)
limit consumption muoh less have tbey
the power to oppress the labor of one sec
tion of the eountry for the benefit of
another section, or Jo gratify tbs opinion
of a class on a questioa of morale; .'-'. '
Tbe question of augmented prioes for
all ordinary artislos of eonsurnption ber
alluded to, is oo thai must bs further
pursued, i When this war began', we bad)
everywhere a paper eurreoey of nnifomn
value, snd everywhere equal, to coin' ef
the plsee of issue, becane redeemod ier
coin on domandv Thia quality of rsdema
tion ia paper monoy was ths unfailing
safeguard in ths preeorvatioa of a juo
balanee of trade between en? own country
and other eountrfeav If the btlw of
trade was against as, that talaaos esna4
sn sxport of coin, whioh at onoe prod deed!
a eeotmction in onr bank accounts, a eo
sequent diminution of imports, and
speedy adjustment of tbs dobt imp rov
