Christian FaIsehoodr

The following paragraph we copy entire from the
Indiana Journal:
LocoFoco INsINcERIIT.- Who does not recollect
how the leaders Of the Locofoco party denounced the
Wings for imposing duty Salt. 1t was horrible
Governor Whlcomb especially, was perfectly furious
whenever he alluded 10 it. What! the rascally
Wings had laid tax of the essentials of life
when 1t ought to be free The farmers of the West
were compelled TO use American home manufactured
salt, instead of Turks Island. because Of this most
lniquitous tax That not all 1t was attempted
to make the people believe that American salt would
not preserve their pork and beef from spoiling Had
they been honest in these denuncations, the very
moment they had power they would have repealed
this odous tax. Look the British bill which has
just passed the House of Representatives by the Loco
cos. Ii levies tax of TWENTY PER CENT. ON
SALI! Where now are the sympathies of Locofo-
colSm for the poor men Of our country According
to the doctrine advanced by Gov. Whtcomb in his
" Facts for the People," every man who purchases a
pound of salt pays twenty per cent. higher for it,
than he would do were l. to in free of duty. If
this be true, the people willing to longer continue
In power who will thus increase the price Of one
of the prime articles of necessity!
The writer of the foregoing pretends to be christ
ian. He cannot pretend ignorance on a subject like
this, and has therefore for such bareaced
impudence, not to say LYING; for lying it is and bare
faced at that 1t is in perfect keeping with the federal
whig dOctrine-that the people know nothing-and
hence is attempted to be palmed on them as truth
not on those who know better-but as a cue for the
demagogues to practice those who have not the
means of information Wedo not intend to be thrown
on the defensive by any such LIES, emanate from
what quarter they may; and merely notice it, to
express our astonshment that a man who get on
his knees and ask forgiveness Of the Almighty can
lrifuuy make such statements. 1t is false in EVERY
particular 1t leyies tax of Twenty per cent. on
Salt says this christian writer. Why did he not
tell them, that while the bill levied tax of twenty
per cent on Salt, the old whig tariff "levied tax :"
of NEAR ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY PER CENT, and
therefore the Democrats have reduced that TAX some
one hundred and twenty per cent?
The bareacedness of the balance of the falsehoods
need not be pointed out. The writer will still re-
main in church, and IL suffers. Can't he write " an
acknowledgment Of the corn," and still be holy!

The DISTRICT OF CoLUMBIA-The Phia. Ledger
thinks that Congress have done wisely in receding to
Virginia all that portion of the District of Columbia
originally ceded by that State, part of the "ten
miles square," 1t contains about thirty thirty five
square miles, about third of the District.
Being separated from the other portion by the Poto
mac, it perfectly useless 10 the seat of Govern
ment, and participated in of its benefits 1t
too remote from the capital for public buildings, or
boarding houses and hotels and therefore received
nothing of the sums which strangers, and officers of
the government, both visant and resident, continu-
ally pour into Washington and Georgetown. 1t re-
ceivcd, in common with the rest of the District, the
legislative protection of Congress. But practically,
this amounted to little, excepting an occasional ap-
preparation from the. national treasury, pay the
debts of the District. 1t is now restored to Virginia,
and viii participate in all the benefits whatever they
may be, if any, which the Government of the State
can confer upon all its citizens.

SANTA ANNA-In regard to certain pretended dis
closures relative to the schemes of Santa Anna and
our Government, the g Union says.
We deem it our duty to state, in the most posi-
tive terms, that government has sort of con-
nection with any scheme Of Santa Anna for the re-
volution of Mexico for any sort of purpose. Some
three months ago some adventurer was in Washington
who wished to obtain their countenance and aid in
some scheme other connected with Santa Anna
They declined all sort of connection cooperation or
participation in any effort for the purpose The gov
ernment of this country declines all such ntrgues or
bargains. They have made war openly in the face of
world. They mean to prosecute it with all their

Rights of Women.

Morris'S National Press calls on the Convention
now in session for the revision of the Constitution of
New York. to amend the laws affecting the rights of
Should the people of this State call SINH
lar Convention, this well as various other matters
of deep interest will doubt come under its consde-
ration. We copy the following article on the subject
from the Press.
THE CoNvENTteN-RIGHTs OF WoMEN.-Wn not
the Convention for the amendment of the Constitution,
tax einto sidertion the claims of one half Of the
community--that half which is allowed no voice in
its proceedings it had none in the selection of the
members who compose it! 1t appears to US an emi-
ncntly suitable occasion for reviewing that portion Of
the system of modern law, which has come down
from the dark ages with small change-that which
subjects the weaker sex almost wholly to the control
of the stronger, enabling men to play the tyrant
whenever they viii, with almost absolute impunity
There is in this no exaggeration. married man has
almost the absolute control of the Joint property both
in life and death, whether that property originally
his that of his wife, All is liable for his debts,
unless specific provision in her behalf made
by the gver IN the conveyance. But why should not
the law 90 beyond this, and the wife the use
of her property during her husbands life as well
after it There seems no good reason why wo-
man should be excluded from the use and control of
at least what hers before marriage, or what has
become hers through other means than by the skill
and labor of the husband. There is in this marked
and garng distinction against the weaker and unpro-
tected party. The husbands property is always his,
under all circumstances the wife's never hers unless
by specific provision. The rule takes the property
from her; the exception only it to her. This
is so manfestly wrong, that the continuance of the
practice, which had its origin in times of ignorance
and oppression, excites our astonishment
The law treats women wholly as an inferior and
degraded race. That they have practically, social
equality and consideration is, because better
and more just as individuals than lawmakers.
Perhaps the wide difference between the legal and the
social position of woman is owing still more TO the
fact, that as regards the latter they take their own
part and secure that which belongs to them. In the
former they wholly the mercy of the stronger
and the partition is like that in the fable of the lion
and the weaker beasts which hunted in common with
him-a for the first, and 1chat fl for the Others
! For ourselves, we believe that this cruel and OPP
pressive inequality must be done away If the female
part of the world could wake up due sense of the
wrongs the endures in consequence and be nduc-
ed to make suitable appeal to the magnanmity,
good sense, justice and galantry of the other SEX
that refJrm would be immediate. Engaged as we
are in serious attempt to elevate and improve the
condition of woman, determined that our own
efforts shall never be wanting in SO important a
matter

WING PRINcIPLEs.-The Boston Wing in notice
of the leading periodical of its party admits that the
Wings have no common principles. 1t says
'The Wing Rerielo is very good in its politics,
excepting that it always performs the play of Ham
let with the part of Hamlet omitted. Being warrant
ed to hold no doctrines that do not belong to the
united Whig party of the Union, it must obviously be
confined within limits indefinitely small. Indeed at
the present we cannot recall single general
principle upon which the chOle of the Whig party
can be said to unite"

An Old Bribery Case.

The Madison Courier alludes to a certain /" fair
business transaction between the Bank at the Deep
Diggings," and two distinguished members of the
Legislature, during the Internal Improvement Era,
and while Marshall in the House. We meant to
have Investigated this affair while giving the History
of the System in 1913 but the chapters suspen
ded after the August election of that year, and we have
never had favorable opportunity to renew them
The Courier says:
SIT is claimed that he (MarshalD was opposed to
internal improvements. We deny this, and call upon
the older citizens of Jefferson county to bear out in
the assertion, that he a warm advocate Of the
system = sometimes TO tears. If we recollect
arght Mr. Marshall was in the Legislature when the
"Survey Bill" passed, and of its supporters
The next year the Internal Improvement Bill passed

quently it has been charged that ttco influential

being kind enough to endorse their notes. By referring
to Mr.. Palmers Bank report it appears one has been

THERE Is SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DEN

This unequvocal imputation published by the
Courier on the 18th of June. But up to this time

perhaps, for them all to get along with it. Some

the Ohio Press, who is guardian for some orphan
children from New York. had a fifty dollar note sent
him, for of them, it being about half of what
was left the child by of its parents. In few
days after he received it, he heard that the bank was
broken; and sure enough, upon coming to the city,
he found by inquiry that it was worth just fortyve
cents on the dollar. Here is an orphan child literally
robbed of twentyseven dollars and fifty cents, which
goes into the pockets of the owners of the bank.

,OFThe Cincinnati Herald paralelizes the lawyer
and the soldier-thus:
The transition from the lawyer to the soldier is
easy. One engages in foreign war; the other, in
cirl The soldier fights with the s'cOrd; the lawyer
with the tongue which is said in the scriptures to be
sharp sword. 1t is the interest of both stir up
strife Both fight for pay, both live on the misunder-
standings of their fellow-men and the victories of
both are apt to cost more than they come to.
