Taxes and the New COnSt ItutiCn.

All our readers remember the thousand
and one promises oireirsnchment and reform
thst we're given to the people of our growing
State. BY the Loco party, provided they
would give to them the power to frame q
new Constitution Well do all remember these
declarations Of that party. The people were
induced by the syren song Of democracy and
equality, to lend the power as called for by
that party. a New Constitution was the result.
Butts still they begged that the new born Con-
stilution might remais in the hands Of It's
friends;' the request was granted and what
has been the final result? Retrenchment and
reform in the expenditures ofthe pesple's hard
esrnings?' WscOpy the following from the
o. s. Journal, as the true answer.--In every
line Of which every candid reader cannot bu
see the words Of truth and soberness.

ed in its efforts to reduce the taxes Of the State

Let us see the result Of its labors. Since

friends have had the entire control of affairs il

Ranized and remodeled all departments of th'
State Government. They have inaugurated I
new system of business in State, county, city
&c. affairs. Now let US look at the cost to tht
people. Under the old order Of things the to-
tai taxes Of the State for all purposes were as
follows: 1915. 50, $50, 900; Is47. 2,S47,OOO;
I84s, 8,24I, I,OOOy' I84s, 3, 6Sl 600.
Then came the era Of LocofOco rule. Then
came retrenchment and reform. Then came
the determined effort Of the States.

Here is a mirror for the editor Of that pape
to see himself as others see him. Here is tn
grand aggregate of this 'earnest-determned

With the cumbsrOus, expensive machinery,
will be impossible to return at once to the stan

EVENING SOLACE.
BY cURRIER BELL.

The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret Kept, in silence sealed;
he thoughts, the hopes, the Dreams and pleasures
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in noisy riot fly,
While lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion,
The memory of the past may die.
But there are hours of lonely musing,
Such as In evening silence come,
When soft as birds their pinions closing,
The hearts best feelings gather home.
Then In our souls there seems to languish
tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groars of anguish
Now cause but some mild tears TO how
And feelings, once as strong Eassions,
Float softly back-a faded dream
Our own sharp grefs al d mind sensations,
The tasie of others sufferngs seem;
Oh! when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for that time. 10 be,
"nen, through the mist of years sreceding,
Its woes but live in Ieverie;
And, it cap dwell moonlight glimmer,
On evening shades and loneliness,
And, while the sky grows DIM and DINNER,
Feel no unit i'd and strange distress.
Only deeper impulse given
BY lonely hour and darken ed room,
To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven,
Seeking the life and world to come.
