REDEMPTION OF WING PROMISES.

the method by.which federal bankers and federal
politicians redeem their promises The follow
ing article from the ChiLIicothe A2veTtiser err<
umerates some of the acts adopted by the federal
party, at the extra session OF Al, which exhibit
the sincerity of their ckaraor about "retFehchment
and reform /"
"One of the frsl acts of the federalists at their
extra session commencing in May. 184t, was to
repeal the INDEPENDENT TREASURY
LAW, and in so doing, they made "UNION
OF THE PURSE AND SWORD" in the
hands of the Executive, giving him full power
over the public moneys, to place it where hd
chooses without restraint, and without having his
duties defined by law
T After this the federalists, in imitation of the
British aristocfacy voted away TWENTY.
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS of the peo.

This State In express violation of the construction
which guarantees an equality of the rights OF alls
An additional appropriation of FIVE MIL:
LIONS AND FORTY THREE FHOUs
SAND DOLLARS was then made for the ser+
vice of the year 1871, at the extra session-aI<
though plentiful provision had been previously
made by former Congress, during their regular
session
After this an ADDITIONAL TAX OF
SIX MILLIONS was imposed on the people in
form of tariff duties. azT
Then loan of TWELVE MILLIONS was
added to the burdens of the people. .
And another debt of SIXTEEN MILLIONS
would have been contracted for a NATIONAL

At their regular session, which commenced in
December, 184f the Federal Congress aulhoEizs

MILLIONS, which still increased the burdens
of the people.
Then, again THIRTEEN MILAAoNs
were added to the tax of the people in form of a
tariff, without affording any benefit toehe govern

:" Wamba, the son Of WitIess, tie born MraH
Of Cedric, tie Sa10n"-Such was the inscrip-
ton engraved the collar of an English serf in
those early times when the few lorded it over the
many. Although the many were then b0r7t
hralis to frudal barons, it has, been reserved to
the present day to witness the. degrading spectacle
of freeman becoming the voluntary slave Of
another,-of resigning his intellect, his opinions
and his judgment into another's Keeping, and
acting as mere conduit pipe, through which his
master may convey his views without resistance
or obstruction. Mental servitude is more deprad-
ing than physical, Force may fsten chainsson
freeman's limbs, but his mind cannot be ensaKed,
save at his own volition. Whatastate of degra
dation can be more Disgusting and a6horrent
than that of voluntary submission, in thought as
well as deed, to the arbitrary will of another:
The cringing, fawlfing sycophaft who with the
privileges of freeman, possesses the spirit of
Slave and crouches at his masters feet, licking
his hand in sfckening serVility, deserves to be
driven from the society of rhen,-aye even from
companionship with the negroes by whom he is
surrounded. The labor of the hands may Some
times be devoted to another's gain against ones
will, but the voluntary prostraton of the Soul to
the ignoble condition of thinking in obedience to
another's behests is indeed the lowest depth of hu4
man degradation. The Almighty never r1iAdg
man erect, that he might commit his mind and
conscience to fire keeping of a human master,
and although, in Divine Providef1oe he may be
sometimes forced to undergo physical toll for
anolher's benefit, his intellect was never intended
to be SO debased under any circumstances '"rhe
born thraI of the Saxon" might, in the days Of
feudal bqrbarism, wear the collar of Cedric, but
he who now constantly follows at his masters
heels, breaks forth in exclamaliors Of praise at
every word he utters, sings peans to his praise
from morning to night prostitutes his intellect to
invent forms of speech BY which TO eufogi1e in+
-crifces his right of private Judgment, his intel.
lectuai and moral freedom, and all the nobler
qualities of man, may bear aohits skin, but, it
covers more degraded than negro soul. For,
all such beings we have no feelings but those Of
Ioathing and disgust.

Gentlemen: The present year has been eheq-

unfavorable and the oat crop was diminished one
half In April we had on James, and Dan, and
Staunton, a most memorable fresh that seriously
injured the growing crop Of wheat above the falls
of the rivers Still the wheat crop turned out an
average one through the State, although particular
estates came off very badly. But what constItut-
ed the great and irreparable loss of the year was
