YOUR TAX.

Farmers, you who for years have labored
hard in clearing up your farms and put COM
Portable building on, do you think you have
been paying tax enough for few years back,
II SO, how. will you like very heavy increase
this year, merely because you have gone ON
and by hard labor, put up some new building,
or cleared another field or two. Do YOU like
this unjust tax law, made by Federal bankers!
There is still other Objectionable features in
that unequal and oppressive law, which you
must see at the first glimpse. The banker
may have his tens o. thousands of dollars in
bank stock, but he pays nothing on all that,
while. you pay heavy tax upon small farms,
probably not wor,hmore than $500 or $1,000.
The bankers pay tax upon their profits alone,
and Jihey reap no profts they pay no iar!
Well ifyou sow your grain and reap no CROP,
how is it with you? Does your farm, like the
bankers money, go free of tax! No farmers,
you have TO pay the same as though you had
raised the best crop that ever grew! Then
meet this inequality OF federalism! Go to the
ballot box and let your strength be felt and
your wants be known; send Democrats to rep
resent you who will do il.

FOR PRESIDENT.
ZACHAR TAYLOR
OF LOUISIANA.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLARD FILLMORE,
OF NEW YORK
THE NOMINATIONS.

The event to whichthe Wing party through
ont the Union have been looking forward
with an unusual anxiety, is now passed-the
standard-bearers in the coming contest have
been chosen. Let every true Wing cordially
and cheerfully accept the nominations of the
National Convention. We have always been
determined to abide that decision-and what
ever we may have said to urge the claims OF
our own favorite, we have never spoken in
disparagement of the gallant hero, whose
name we place at the head ofour columns, and
who will lead us, in November, to the most
signal victory the Wing party has ever achiev-
ed. Gen. Taylor's political principles, indeed,
we did for moment question. But the
soundness of his creed, before the. Convention
assembled, was placed beyond doubt. Gen.
TAYLOR is CLAY WING Freemen Of Yer
mont, in doing valiant service in the ranks of
this veteran, you wage the same war of princi-
pies, you contend for the same issues, your VIC
tory will be attended with essentially the.same
results, as though you fought under the ban
ners of the noble Harry Of the West" Gen.
Taylor isa whole-souled Wing. 1t was an
ungrounded conjecture that represented him as
not being about to abide the decision of the
Convention. His name was not presented be-
fore the Convention, until this report had been
positively and forever put to silence. Every
means had been used by our political oppo-
nents to put him in false position in respect
TO his party. They dreaded his nomination
more than all things else. Gen. Taylor kept
his own counsel With hundreds of letters
pouring in upon him, demanding that he should
define his position, it was certainly no easy
matter to escape from the snare into which a
greedy politician would have eagerly run. At
the right time, he has avowed himself openly,
freely, decidedly-and those of his Wing
friends who have wronged him BY unjust sus-
picions, ought now TO tome forward like men,
give up their error. and enlist for the cam
paign with their whole soul. The Wings of
Vermont will do it, with zeal and cordially.
They love Henry Clay-they would have pre-
ferred to see him President-but in their de-
votion to principles. they will cheerfully sur
render all partialities for men.
OF Willard Fillmore, we need not speak.
He is too well known, his character is too high
ly appreciated, to need word of commenda-
ton from us. The ticket is strong one, and
will undoubtedly be triumphantly elected, it
the Wings exert themselves as the present
condition of the country demands. They
WILL DO it.

tration, these inhuman proceedings first began to
be thought Of But no sooner was Jackson IN
stalled in power, than he Joined in these UNJUST
and shameful transactions-even goingbeyond the
cruelties of the Georgians, and approaching, step
by step,to the final consummation of that measure
which has left an indelible stain upon his memo
rv-the removal of the Indians beyond the Mis-
sissippi.
Secretary Eaton (of Tennessee) retired from
the Cabinet in the midst of these critical affairs
for reasons of which we need not now speak-af-
ter remaining in the War Department only two or
three years As a successor, Gen. jackson first
nominated MIR. White, (also of TENNESSEE who
declined. The appointment was then offered to
Gov. Cass, and accepted. The new Secretary
was naturally supposed to be familiar with Indi-
an affairs, from long experience-and, had he
but firmly maintained the principles and policy to
which he had hitherto adhered, in obedience to
his own convictions of right and justice he might
unquestonably have averted all the evils that fol-
lowed.
But what did Gen. Cass do mo sooner was
science deserted him, his moral principle was put
to fight, and his consistencyswss compromised in
the eyes of the whole country. Here was trial
of his integrity-just such trial as it would be
well that every candidate for the Presidency
should be put to. IF the slight advantage of Ex-
ecutive favor will turn Il man aside from his'own
honest opinions of justice and right, and bride
him into long series of acts that outrage the bet
ter feelings of humanity, against IN unofending
and defenceless people,-let the freemen of this
Republic beware how they trust such person
with the nations destinyl
OF the capacity with which Gen. Cass man
aged the War Department, it is enough to say
that by his bunglng management, the Seminole
War was renewed, and all its long train of evils
and disasters needIessly inflicted on the country
We cannot go into long explanation of these
are sure, by any one who will carefully and can
didly examine the history of that ruinors War
and the means by which it was revived in its last
and most fatal FORM
We ask, in conclusion, where lis the Democrat
who feels an impulse 10 cast his vote for man
who has put off his integrity, and put on a con-
temptible spirit of fawning and servility-for the
sake of office and emolument1 and for one who
in doing so, has inflicted deadly injury upon his
country Lewis Cass has done this-if such O

LEWIS CASS.-THE WAR DE-
PARTMENT.

We will notdisguse from our readers the fact
that, at the time Gen. Cass was called into the
Cabinet of Jackson lin 1881. the affairs Of the
War Department were in difficult and very crit
ical condition. We would not willingly detract
from the public character OF any man who de-
serves well of his country, and has endeavored
faithfully to acqut himself in the discharge of ar
duous duties, because he may have been guilty of
some few venial errors. But when q man is pro-
posed as a candidate for the highest Office in the
gift Of our people, we should certainly err on the
side of clemency, were we to pass lightly-as the
political friends of Gen. Cass have done-over
the truly reprehensble portions of his public ca
reer, wherein the candidate has been fairly put to
the trial as to honesty and capacity-and found
to have come short in both particulars.
Gen. Cass had, for several years previous to
the appointment in question, filled the post OF
Governor of the Territory of Michigan In this
capacity, it may be recollected by some Of our
readers, he pursued a lice of policy, with re-
spect to the Indians, for the most part, highly
commendable. His views were humane, and were
characterized by an apparent desire to promote
friendly feelings among the Indians towards the
Whites and towards each other. His labors in
this direction were mentioned with approval at
the time, and his policy was undoubtedly worthy
of all the countenance it received from many
high sources.-In the mean time, most unhap-
py state of things had arisen, among the Indians
and the White settlers in the South The at
tempts of the state government to extend its ju-
rsdiction over the Cherokees within the chartered
limits of Georgia-to whom the enjoyment of
their own lands and laws had been directly and

WAR AND FREE TRADE.

We ask the attention of every freeman of Yer
mont to the following resolution, unanimously
passed at the late Baltimore Convention Moth
ing can exceed the brazen effrontery with which
Folks immense War debt-of ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLIoSs-is bOdsted oUer as putting an
end to the Wing Policy of distributing the pro-
ceeds Of Public lands unless it is the impu-
dence and heartlessness with which these very
same men who, four years ago, avowed that the
Tariff of AZ had been passed by Locofoco votes,
and would be sustained by the Lecofoco party,
now congratulate the country on the prostration
of that Tariff, and the noble impulse given to the
cause ofFREE TRADE" in consequence of the cleo
ton of James K Polk Read it, every voter in
Vermont, read it
"Resolved, That the fruits of the great politi-
cal triumph Of 1874, which elected James X.
Polk and George NJ. Dallas, President and Vice
President of the United States, hare fulfilled the
hopes Of tie Democracy Of the Union: in defeating
the declared purpose of their opponents to create
National Bank; in preventing the corrupt and I'M

in our opinion, it would be fatal error to
weaken the bond of political organization by
which these great reforms have been achieved,
and risk them in the hands of their known sd
versaries, with whatever delusive appeals they
may solicit our surrender of that vigilance

the second from the Barnburner organ in New
York City.
THE NOMINATION OF GEN. CASS.
General Cass is nominated by the Balti-
more Convention. What shall be done in the
premises is the question that all are asking.
We shall act as near in accordance with the
principles we have heretofore protested and
advocated, and which are well understood by
our readers, as practicable.
The voice Of the great State of New York,
OF her noble Democracy, has not been heard
in making this nomination. 1t is not there
fore, the nomination of !. Democratic Nation
al Convention, such as the delegates were
sent TO Baltimore to make, and is of no bind
ing obligation upon the Democracy of the ma
ton, or any part of it, except so far as they
choose to ratify it.
The Democracy of New York, it is believ-
ed, will have candidate in the field, and the
Democracy of other free States will probably
unite with them-SanduSl,y Ohio Mirror.
The following are among the papers IN this

From the 81. Louis Nerp Era, May "a.

L..
NP.TRIsr, ESQ Among the passengers
brought by the Sultana, from the South, last
evening. was N. 2. Trisi Esq, who is en- route
for Washington, TO which place. though a
private citizen, he was ordered by Major
General Butler.
We had the pleasure Of an interview with
Mr.. Trist. whom we had previously known
for months during the campaign in Mexico.
We were no less astonished than surprised TO
learn from him that he was actually militia
nv rrisonerl-as such he returned 10 the
UnueJ States. and as such shoul1 report him
self TO the President on reaching the city OF
Washington.
However widely persons may differ as 10
the propriety or Improperly Of the course
Mr.. Trist saw fiji 10 pursue, as The diplomatic
agent ofhis government, in making treaty
Of peace with Mexico, there can be but ono
opinion as TO the fragrant abuse of power in
bis arrest and election from Mexico by order
of The President OF The United Stntes. This
summary and despoiic proceeding does not
rest upon verbal testimony, but Mr.. Trlsl
has il in black and white under the hand oil
the present general in-chief Of The American
army in Mexico.
lfihere are any who suppose that Mr.. 1rlsl
will namely submit TO any such despotic ex-
ercise Of military power toward private GILL
zen Of The United States by the President or
his Secretary of War, all we can say is, they
are eeregiously mistaken in their man. Oh
this, the country at large will become satisfied
ere many months more have passed away.
Mr.. Trist takes the Northern route, via the
Illinois and Michigan canal, and will reach
Washington in the course Of ten or twelve
DAYS from this time.

THE DIFFERENCE.

GEN. TAYLOR aVows himself to be opposed to
any extension Of territory-the area of Slavery,
therefore, cannot be enlarged while his principles
bear sway. LEWIS CAss goes for enlarging our
territorial limits 10 the greatest ertent-so as to in
cludc Mexico, California, Yucatan, Cuba, ard E.
ven Jamaica; and that too for the express pur-
pose of extending and papetuating .SIarey. GEN.
TAYLOR declares that bad he voted at al, in 1874.
he should have voted for HaNRY CLAr-the il
lustrious author and unfinching champion of the
great AMERICAN SYSTEM OF Projection.
LEWIS CAss gives his cordial assent to resolu-
ton of the Convention that nominated him, OPEN
ly avowing the doctrine of FREE TRADE. Gen.
Taylor is an honest, answering, straightforward
citizen of the Republic: Lewis Cass is shutting,
lodging, dough-faced demagogue. The contrast,
in short, between the two candidates is as wide as
between the two worlds that are separated by sn
impossible gulf. No sincere friend of his coun-
try can remain indifferent in such contest One
or the other must inevitably be elected--and what
sincere lover of Freedom, what real friend Of
Protection and Internal Improvement, can hest
tate for a moment as to which his vote shall be
given!
