I WASHINGTON CITY.
MONDAY. JULYtas. 1850.

The Southern Press, the slavery organ at
Washington, is afraid that the talors' strike in
this city will lead to Il general disorgonization
of society, and hints mt second French revou-
ton. The poor fellow !--Neao York Eoening
Post. 5r v8 1lu
Z The editor of the Post is a Democratic Free
soiler, and supporter of John Van Buren,, all
thoughhe affects to deride the influence of tailors
We know of no place where stoppage of the sup
plies fclothing would effect amore general disor
ganization of society than New York, where
clothes, not color, constitute the principal dis
Rnction Of class. To be sure the Post, which
contends for the universal equality of men
might delight in the abolition of dress, as there
would then be no distinction between rich
poor, civilized and savage. Weknow that pro.
pensity has lately been manifested in New York to
renounee dress, in the exhibition of model ar
tstes, but are not prepared for the sudden rc-or-
ganization of society on that basis, which we
presume we are to have when the editor of the
1ribune is elected mayor, and the Erening
Post is the city organ. anie a5 "a i.sr&

would like to see dress abolished on another ac-
count. 1t would diminish the price of cotton and
strike at the slave power. 5s m
Let these reformers recollect however, that
New York is in a cold climate, and when winter
comes, the people will either. have to submit to
the demands of the tailors, or emigrate South,
where the weather is warm. This is what we
should most apprehend--the irruption into the
South Of such a horde of naked Northern bar
barans. Nothing would tend more to dissolve
the Union than the probability of such an event
b. we hope, therefore, that a compromise will
be effected with the tailors If it be difficult,
call on Messrs. CLAY and FooTE who are anxious
we understand to get some Iaylorism into their
omnibus. as 5H2

TAXES roR l650.-The yate Of lax this year, i
is ascertained, will he 1872 cents on each SlO0
last year it was nearly 49, cents on each Sl00
The sum voted is in accordance with the estimates
and resolutions Of December last, being S3,23Q,-
18O--in it included Police, Streets, Interest,
Common Schools, and every other expenditure
ordinarily required. OF the amount required
S492, 900 is for Police; cleansing and repairing
Streets, 100000; Lamps and Gas, Sl65, 900
Water Loan Interest, Sl86 $50; Common Schools
including 900 for deficiency Of last year,
1907 900; State Tax, for support Of State Gov
eminent, (the State Mill Tax) $143, $3.50; defcien-
cy for City Expenditure from last year, $500, ,04O
$4,000 toward reducing City Debt, &c. ANY
extra expenditure since December last (the time
the estimates were made up) will have to go as
deficiencies into the account OF next year.
Theincome ofproperty in New York can hardly
exceed per cent. 1t is taxed one and one-sey-
enth per cent, nearly oneiourth of the income.
If the editor of the Tribune is elected mayor
by the vote of socialists, we think that another
slice will be taken from property in the shape OF
taxes to be disbursed to promote the rights OF
labor. We expect TO see in future new an
nual inroad made by labor on property in that

The Largest-Liberty Men.

At an Abolition Conventicle, Composed OF
Garrett Smith, VIM. Goodell and Others, who
withdrew from the mass of the Liberty party
on the nomination of JOHN p. HALE for Prcsi-
dent, recently held at Syracuse, New York,
the following resolutions, among others, were
adopted lli gaa aiao 5f,G
l. Resozred, That passing events do butd deepen
our conviction, that a sectarian religion is the
greatest hindrance to the deliyerance of the
slave. - ;E
2. Resolred, That every slaveholding Govern.
ment is but piracy; and that, hence, if pirates
invade Cuba or South Carolina, Brazil or Geor.
gia, there is no more reason why Abotionists
and believers in righteous civil Governments
should sympathize with the invaded than the
invading pirates
! 8. Resolued, That the government is deeply
unjust which dsfranchises women; which de-
MES its subjects the right to buy and sell freely
what they please; which permits the sale of in
toxicating drinks; which consumes the earnings
OF its subjects in wars; which tolerates or prac-
tices land monopoly; which refuses to the ac-
cused or to any party litigant the right of having
his cause tried by judges and Jurors, who are
not members OF secret societies; or which sane
tions or permits the practice of the matchless
crime OF slavery. Suaajag @
This is consistency. Those who seek to sub
vert the system of society, must strike at the
foundations-at Religion, Law, and the Rights
Of property.
The only difference between these men and
the Free Soilers, consists in the candor and
openness with which they avow their ulterior
objects. Both are travelling to the same goal
by different roads s-the former taking the broad
highway, the latter skulking secretly along by
paths L--. W.. w --L.-n--I- -l- -

What does the North ask that it should be SUBJ

Soll shall remain Free. What is there " aggres-
sive' In this Every foot of territory, cursed
with slavery when it became the property Of the
Union, has been permitted to retain slavery after
It's admission. Louisiana, Florida and Texas had
slaves when acquired and they have slaves now
All that the Nortq ask is that the same rule shall

Evening Journal. f a#N EHsl
This is specimen of the intelligence of the
Metropolitan organ of the predominant Wing
party of the Empire State of the North. 1t
asserts now here Ammo Domini 1850. that
epery foot Of territory cursed ,eiM slaperu
nohen 1t became The property Of The Union,
has been permitted 10 retain SLAVERY after is
admission" Such is the knowledge of tho
teachers Of men in the land of common schools
1t would be difficult to find such ignorance
among those of the South who have never learn
ed to read or write. Now if the allegation of
the Journal were correct, the argument would
be good. But as the reverse of the statement
is the fact, the reverse of the conclusion is true
since Louisiana which we acquired as slayehold-
ing territory was divided and much the largest
portion assigned to the North BY a prohibition of
slavery, it follows that it would be aggressive in
the North to refuse division of the TERRITORY
now acquired as it says free. "All that the
" South asksis that the samerule shall apply to
territory free when acquired" aa ,|a
