HIGH TAXES.

Nh. EDIroR:-I notice considerable
"sparring" in our papers about High
Taxes" and one of the writer's on the SUBJ

sition. and shows an acquaintance with
hard names quite commendable if he has
been scholar at that kind of study, and
great intuitive knowledge if he has not
l have lived a good many years, and been
a close observer of men and the results of
social relations, and as the tax payers seem
to take considerable interest, and are terri
bly, burthened with high rates, propose
to submit few ideas on the subject Of
"high taxes"
Every government must have its reve-
nue. to support it, and though tariffs are
the least felt, yet direct taxation is the most
equal. 1t is also the most beneficial, for it
enables the tax payer to see ,chat he is pay
ing, and if burthened, enables and nearly
forces him to seek remedy. In the ar
ticles that have appeared, attributing our
high taxes to various causes, such as the
poor farm, support Of the poor, DC, &c;
the views taken are but another effect of the
one great cause, and another evidence that
the positions am about to take are correct:
for in giving the reasons they only look
at the consequences and nota the causes.
Men can only act SO far as they can see,
and hence the difference in their social and
political stations. So long as our children
are taught every thing but the principles
of their political and social existence, and
that is left un'aught, so long they must see
enormously and act blindly. So long as
the Constitution is not taught in our schools
and the principles on which governments
are founded are never lectured upon OF
brought before our youth, so long they
must be unable to govern themselves sue
cessfully. Solong as the rudiments of law
are left untouched. while mere instruc-
ton is given sufficient to enable man to
tell how many rails will lay rod Of fence,
or how many pennies make dollar. and
how many dollars makes him better than
his neighbor. just so long results will follow
of proportionate benefit. So long as men
who can neither read nor write are permit
ted to choose rulers by means of ,critten
Instruments, the effect of which they are
unable to calculate, and are aroused to &C.
ton by the language of stump speaking
demagogues. whose language they do moi

ERIN


o, Erin, how long shall the Sashnash
Polute with his presence thy shores,
How long shall the Vandal and robber.
Leave famine and death at the door!
How long till the spirit of freedom,
Makes hot the life-blood in thy veins,
And shouts from the pulpit and forum,
No hope but rebellion remains.
How long till the ruffian invader,
Is woke from his peaceful repose!
How long ere the lyon of Britain
Weeps blood meath thy terrible blows!
Once gem of the ocean and fairest,
Of all the green spots on its waves,
Thy destiny is not forever
To shelter nation of slaves.
The sun will vet rise in its splendor,
Thy children yet to thee return
From the cline of the generous stranger,
Where tyranny's victims sojourn.
Yet, yet, We may stand as a power
Among the proud empires of earth,
Ifye will but raise the war slogan,
Arouse the stout sons We gave birth.
Death, death to the scarlet usurpers.
Revenge for the Emmett that died
In the bloom of his life and his glory,
For the Fitzgerald mercy denied.
Revenge for dark years Of fell bondage,
For huge wrongs SO patiently borne,
One sweep from thy people united,
And thou art no longer forlorn.

KANSAS.

The troubles i'll Kansas appear to be
over for the present. 1t is rather difficult
to ascertain the immediate cause of the late
difficulty, owing to the contradictory re-
ports which have been sent by Telegraph
and newspaper correspondents.
We think the article in to-days paper,
taken from the St. Louis Democrat, gives
the most satisfactory version of the affair,
of any account we have read.
1t seems that Gov. Shannon was slightly
dra~ed CD by the reports of the Pro-sla-
very men, or he would not have called for
assistance to preserve the peace and pro-
tect those who had not been molested.

Confusion in Mexico Prospects of the
Future.

This might be kept as standing head
from one years end to another. One won
ders, in view Of the constant commotion in
that unhappy country, how any sort OF
society or government is sustained. Our
last intelligence from Veru Cruz. dated the
It'll, stated that the Alveraz Ministry was
broken up; and Alveraz himself was going
south, and that Bomonfort was "going over
to the enemy" From other accounts there
is reason to suppose that the announcement
is premature, though there is not much
prospect of long continuance Of the pres
ent order ofthings. All accounts, howev-
er. agree in stating that the general condi-
ton of affairs in Mexico could not well be
worse. Pronunciamentos, robbories, muir
ders, and disorders of all kinds are so com
mon as to seem the natural order of things.
The difficulties with which Alveraz has
had to contend will be seen from the fol-
lowing:
"The Church, again, is up in arms a,
gainst the government whenever it can find
the slightest pretext for basing its opposi-
ton the plea of interference with religion
The mass Of the people are SO enthralled by
devotion. prejudice and superstition, that
it will require the greatest tact to prevent
them from rushing incontinently to the sup
port of the priesthood.
And then there is the army, with which
there is scarcely less difficulty in dealing
than with the clergy. Officers and men
alike want the public support it affords: and
among the former besides, are not few
whose ambition excites them to more de-
signing opposition to the government.
The most important decree lately pro-
mulgated is one of the 3Oth ult.. depriving
ecclesiastical Judges Of jurisdiction in civ
il cases, and requiring them to forego it,
and to hand over to the secular authorities
all such cases at present pending, The
consequence of this has been to bring down
the direct opposition of the clergy with
the Bishop of Mexico at their head. The
latter had, previously to its PRONUNCIATION.

Comes softly stealing; te iron tongue has struck
The midnight hour: thenagic number twelve"
And as the last sweet CHIMES yet fingered in

With strange yet thrilling melody,a
Long drawn sigh, low, sd, but sweet,
Seemed gushing from TIN bosom of the dark
Forest, as if each leahesSree andb ush
And stump, instinct with life had breath ID; while
From the distant mountain top there came moan,
Plaintive and low, like the gentle signing
OF the evening breeze, as it softly lifts
Ihe hutterlng leaves And bourne on unseen wing
Myriads OF airy tongies seemed floating by,
Filling the frosty arwth strange whispering.
Along the whitened hee of the frost bound-earth
A shudder ran with cackling sound, which shook
The icy branches of te naked trees.
IN unfastened easement ratified with a jar,
That chilled the very life-blood, and the door
Halt shut, swung slowly to, with wild and
Dismal crcak. The watchiul house-dog whining

Cat upon the hearthrug ope'd her glistening
Fiery eyes, and watched with strange unquiet
Glance the dim fantastic shadows, cast on
The papered wall, by the faint flame that rose
Flick ring from the embers in the CRATE.
The grotesque figures on the carved wall
Seemed dancing wildly 'moDg the woven trees
As the pale light now stronger grew, then in
Waving flashes slowly sunk in darkness.

The cattle in the stall rose up and looked
Hither and thither but nothing saw, yet
There they felt presence. The timid sheep
Huddled together closely, as if they felt
nameless fear; while Ger the eastward grove
Rose mournfully the watch-dogs dismal howl.
The slumbering child nestled uneasily
In its sleep, and all unconsciously
The mother clasped her infant charge closer
To her breast, as if in sleep she felt
A danger threatening.

Again was sleeping. But in that moment brief,
A mighty change had taken place; change

Deep sigh the OLD Year breathed its last.
And as it passed away into that dim

The Kansas Difficulties WhcSs to Blame;

Quiet having been restored in that part
Of Kansas Territory which has lately been
the scene Of an incipient civil war, alto
gether without precedent in our history,
it becomes us calmly to review the facts of
the case, as they have transpired principal
ly in journals devoted to the interest of
Atchison, Stringfellow d Co., and inquire
in the light of these facts, who are to blame
for the wrong and outrage inflicted during
these unhappy disturbances? This is the
more incumbent on us as Missourians, as
the reputation of the whole State would be
seriously compromised, should it appear
that any considerable portion of our citizens,
representing at all fairly the public senti-
ment of the Commonwealth had sanctioned,
aided or allotted the preconccrted attempt
to drive moiety of the citizens of Kansas
from the soil of which they are in legal and
peaceable possession, merely Gu the ground
that they are opposed to the making of Kan
sas a Slave State.
The proximate cause or pretext of
the difficulty occurred on or about the
first Of the present month. A dispute
growing out of trespass arose between two
men named Coleman and Dow, in conse-
quence of which the former killed the latter
We care not to touch the question whether
Dow did or did not give Coleman sufficient
provocation for perpetrating this deed of
blood; let us waive that inquiry for the
sake of the argument. Dow is shot down
lies dead on the road. Coleman fees, with
out an effort to apprehend him, and bring
him to justice. Buckly, who occupies an
adjoining claim. afterwards swears out a
warrant against certain parties. alleging
the ridiculous charge that they had endeav
ored to intimidatc him into the promise of
swearing to hang Coleman, by threatning
his life if he refused. On this warrant
Sh,ri Jones apprehends man by the
name of Branson, who was subsequently,
rescued. though there is mo evidence to
show that the rescue was effected by any
of the people of Lawrence, or that they
shielded and protected the parties who in
terfered between the Sheriff and his prison
er. Granting that Dow was in the fault,
what had Branson done? Coleman with
his hands yet reeking with brothers
blood, is still at large, and no officer II the
law is sent IN pursuit Of him. while Bran

protested against it, and subsequently to
its passage had declared that he could not
comply with it, but would have to appeal
to the Pope on the subject, as no other au-
thority could release him from the oath he
had taken to maintain these privileges, and
this jurisdiction of the church. This was
a subject of discussion, up to the date of
the latest intelligence. On the one hand,
even by soi distant liberal papers. the Bish
op and clergy are supported; and on the
other, Senior Jeruz, the Minister signing
the decree, is but moderately supported. A
report had been circulated that the govern
ment had issued a decree against the Bish-
op, and had it in contemplation at once to
take in hand the question of mortmain, but
was subsequently denied.
Among the peculiar institutions of the
government of His Serene Highness was
that of paying the Pope's Nuncio out Of
the public crib. As the rev government
stopped up that leak, it is supposed the
Apostolic Legate, seeing he would hereaf-
ter have to leg it on the slender resources
of the Holy See, has had a hand in the
transaction. Singular institution, all that
for republic: don't you think so?
Santa Anna and General Blanco, his
Minister of War, are both declared desert
ers from the army by a decree of the Gov
ernment-the first for having fled from
the republic, and Blanco for not having
presented himself and made known his
existence in a legal manner"
1t is obvious that the cherub in Mexico,
which should be the fountain of morals and
intelligence, is a dread weight upon the
people, using all of its power and influence
to keep them down. 1t has monopolized
four -fifths of all the available wealth of the
country, shut up all the avenues to gener-
al intelligence, and allowed the people te
sink into the most hopeless degradation
Their material and spiritual condition are
alike lamentable. While the people are ig
norant. stupid and viscious, the country i:
destitute of the first elements of materia
prosperity. The soil is only sufficiently
titled to afford the b rest subsistence fol
the people; there is very little commerce
there are next to no manufacturers, of course
no advance in the arts; and with every
passing day there is less hope for the flu
! ture.
Ibis general hopelessncss and decadence
socially a2d politically, arc due in some
measure to the race, who, being mainly o.
Indian origin, inherit ::u incrtness OF char
acter and an inaptitude for improvement
which would, perhaps under the most ia
vorabls circumstances, preclude their adj
vance to very high state of ciyilizat;on.--
But the church which holds them in bond
age could have done much for their eleva-
ton; could have taught them decent NOR
ais, and given them at least the elements OF
an intellectual education. All this 1t should
have done, but has miscrably failed to do;
and we see no hope for Mexico while the
little energy which they possess is thus
crushed down. \ law of mortmain, as
above suggested, such as has already been
carried into effect in Spain, would be the
first step towards the freedom ard cleva-
ton of the Mexican people.
