A WORD TO OUR NEIGaBoR.

WOaD III OOh IN ElSS Al bON.
The young man who has taken itupon
himself to father the productions Of the
scribblers who do up the editorials for the
''Vindicator,' Call except those that be
cuts from his exchanges intimates in his
last issue that we are no gentleman, and
takes occasion, boy Ike, to call us hard
names. *-Te 30 *
Ofcourse. this is a kind Of argument
which cannot be replied to by person
who lays any claim to the character of a
gentleman. for to do SO he would be com.
PEELED to stoop to the same means and
use language equally as disSraceful,
which we have no inclination to do. We
might apply host of hard names to the
youth who stands as God father to the
productions of the editors Of that paper,
but in doing so we would feel that we
had disgraced the position we occupy in
the editorial corps, and forfeited all claim
to responsibility. When we say hard
names, we mean anything that would
wound the feelings OF his friends or fa-
mlly, or be calculated to iniure him in
the estimation of his fellow citizens Edi-
tors frequently call each other names, but
they are generally such as do not carry
lieing insinuation upon their surface,
and consequently do no injury. We in
dulge in this kind of warfare sometimes
ourself, and when any of our contributors
go further than this we do not wish to
be held responsible. z
We are not sufficiently ego.istical to at
tempt to prove that.we are gentleman
itisnot oar province to decide this question
this is for our fellow citizens, those
with whom we associate in community.
to determine. Of one thing we are con-
scious however-we have always endeav-
ored, in our intercourse With our fellow
men, to sustain that character, and if we
have failed we are sorry, indeed.
But, while we are content to have our
neighbors pass upon our character as a
gentleman, we would rather not have
youth. who has just emerged from his
sanaddlins clothes decide for the whole COM
mutity. And especially do we demur
against having judgement passed upon
our character by an individual who will
insult a lady one day, by telling her that
she has disgraced herself and made her
husband ashamed of her, and the next
day fall upon his knees and tell her that
it was only "jocular," that, like Caesars
wife, she is tabove suspicion The
man who will err SO egregiously in judg-
ment as he seems to have done in this
instance, and so soon be forced to retract
every word Of his opinion, aUe think is not
avery safe or competent umpire when
his neighbours charact, is at stake And if
he is desirous Of entering into discussion
as to whe are and who are not gentlemen,
we refer him to "Mr. Curiosity" who
perhaps is better supplied with facts that
would have an especial bearing upon that
subject than we are, inasmuch as we are
comparatively stranger to our young
ncighbor
AS the ''young man Of the name of"
DUNN "edi;or Gin horny proprietor &
publisher" of the "Vindicator' has such
a horror of lectures, we offer these as
suZgestions, in all kindness.

A change in the Tax Law.


On Monday the Finance committee in
strueted its Chairman to report bill te
amend the present tax law. 1t is bill
of 12 sections, and has some important
provisions. We copy the 5th and 9th
sections:
s'SEc. 5. The term .'eredits" when
ever used in this act or in the acts to
which this is amendatory, shall be he'd
to mean the excess of the sum of all legal
claims and demands, whether for money
or other valuable thing or for labor or
service due or to become due to the per-
son liable to pay taxes thereon, when ad-
ded together, estimating every such
claim or demand at its true value in mo-
ney, over and above the sum of the le-
gal, bona tide debts owing by such per-
son. But, in making up the SUM of such
debts owing. there shall be taken into ac-
count no obligation to any mutual Insuf-
ance Company, nor any unpaid subscrip-
ton to the capital stock of any joint stock
company, or for any religious, scientific,
literary or charitable purpose, nor, any
acknowledgement Of debt made for the
purpose of diminishing the amount of
credits 10 be listed for taxation; nor any
greater amount or portion of any liability
as surety than the person required to
make statement of such credits, believes
such surety is legally bound, and will be
compelled. to pay or contribute, In case
there be no co securities. ,F.2
'sSEo- 6. No person shall be required
to list for taxation any investment made
in certificates of the public debts OF this
State, nor any certificates Of the capital
stock Of any company, the capital stock
and property of which is taxed in the
name of such company by the law Of this
State
1t will be seen that the fifth section
makes material, change in the law as i;
has been understood and applied to the
term credits" Ifthe bill becomes a law
it will remove strong objection to the
present law. The sixth section also re-
moves standing stigma upon the good
faith of our State When we went into
the market to borrow money, in the days
of our need, we promised that those cer-
tifcates of the public debt should not be
taxed; men vested their funds in them,
having faith in this pledge. This faith or
our part should be sacredly preserved
and it is good indication to See the Leg
islature disposed to return to the path o.
duty in this respect. When the bill come:
up for debate, we presume there will be
some interesting discussion.--O 0. s. Jour

CONGRESS-.

SoN~nIsSE1s
Our read, rs, will no doubt, be glad to
learn that Congress is not doing much;
for while they are doing but little, they
are not likely to do much harm.
The great difficulty is. we have too
mach legislation in this country, and the
very best thing the people could do would
be to pay members of Congress their eight
dollars per day for staying at home about
two thirds of the time that they spend at
Washington. The principal object Of
members seems to be to introduce some
measure by which hub -bub and excite
ment will be produced and upon which
they can ride into pow,r. The agitation
produced by the pet measure of one as
pirant has scarcely been all1yed, when
another project for the manufacture Of
political capital is thrust into the faces Of
the people by some would be president or
other great man. We think the sessions
should be limited to about two months,
and an order of business adopted at the
commencement of each session, to which
they should be compelled to adhere, and
if they succeeded in getting through with
that before the two months had expired,
they might devote the balance Of the ses-
sion to the business which occupies their
whole time now-the manufacturing of
Presidents ard great men. We Yam
KEGS are humbugssd people!

LATEST FROM KANSAS DEFENSIyE
PIsEPA ARATIONs AT WRENCE, s.

PIsEPA RATIONS AT WRENCE. s.
Latest intelligence from Kansas to the
l5lh of January. Nothing additional
startling has transpired since our last ad-
vices, but preparations for defence at
Lawrence were being pushed on with
vigor. At Leavenworth the water had
settled clear again. SO far as pertains to
anything outward that the public can dis
cern. Many Of the Inhabitants of that
place were fleeing to Lawrence for safe
ty in the anticipated attack from the Mis-
sourians. The weather had been excess
sively cold. which has prevented any ac-
tive campaign operations. In relation to
this and the preparations going forward
for invasion, as well as defence, the cor
respondent of the New York Times
writes: ~ gst,fsr
Cold weather is the only fortuitious e.
vent for us | have to mention I believe
it is that only that keeps the rebels from
pouncing upon us. Itwould be i'm possi-l
BILE to conduct campaign successfully
while the cold is so severe. We know
they have an underground organization
that probably extends through all the
Southern States, and that all who are con-.
nected with it are pledged to fight IN any
case, right or aorong, and never to return
till the Free State party is extinct. They
drill every day at Westport, and all the
prominent towns along the border, but
they are totally silent upon the object OF
| their movements when questioned by
strangers. We learn, to night, that ev-
eryhing is extremely quiet at Kansas
City and other places just now. Itis the
common subject of remark among our
Free State friends there; they are puzzled
to account for it. Men, who appear to be
IN authority, are seen riding from town to
town, holding conference with prominent
Pro- Slavery men, but not one word oI
their designs can be drawn from them.-
Letters from our friends, yesterday, from
Leayenworth and Kansas, state that there
is something threatening in the undercur-
rent, and their advice to us to prepare
for the worst. We are doing it. One
week ago, one hundred well armed men
could have stormed our town, but oul
condition was not known in "Pukedom. .
We had no powder, shot or lead and bu,
few provisions; but yesterday one-half a
ton OF lead arrived, and nearly as much
powder. Two other teams are on the
way with the same material aid" Pro
visions are also coming in, SO that we
