The TAXATION PARTY.-There is party
in the United States, now, In favor of direct
taration; in favor of raising directly from the
pockets of the people the annual sepenty:fue
millions, or whatever other sum may be
deemed necessary to pay the expenses Of the
Federal Government. Heretofore those ex-
penses have been raised by duties on imported
goods, which no man paid unless he imported
the goods or purchased them after they were
imported.
This direct taxation of the people is what is
meant by the declaration In the Cincinnati
Platform, in favor of Free Trade. Free Trade
is the repeal of all duties on importations,
and involves the raising Of revenue in the
only other possible mode, viz, by direct tax
alton. ~
Do the people wish direct taxation! if they
do, let them support the squatters, for they
declare in favor Of the doctrine by declar-
ing in favor Of Free Trade.

The Only OLD LINE VINO PAPER IN The
STATE OUT FOR FILLMoRE.-The Maysyille
Eagle-the only Old Line Wing paper OF
Kentucky-has, after long deliberations at
last declared itself in favor of Fillmore, aud
sets forth its views as follows
THE PREsIDENcY.
The Wing Party is not dead, in the sense
that morlals are dead when they a.e prepar.
ed for burial. 1t has indeed lost its former
vigor, its vital power, its organized efficien-
cy. But in its very quicscence it is powerful
It's slumber is the sumber of strong man.
There are in Kentucky to-day at least 10000
Wings, worthy of the name-who still pre-
serve their political identity, and who have
not been swallowed up in other PARTIES
These true Old Line Whigs-we speak not
OF those who, deeming il their duty, have de.
elared their purpose to support the Demo
cratic nominees, nor Of those who have in
timated their intention 10 90 for Fillmore
but of those who yet stand off undecided
and undetermined-those Wtigs, we say,
have responsibility cast upon them which
they cannot avoid, and duty which they
cannot shun. In minor matters they may
hold off, but in an issue like the present
their votes must be given and their influence
must accompany their votes.
We have thought much and often upon
this momentous subject We cannot doubt
that in several of the States the Wing party
proper still holds the balance OF power. As
they vote, so will be determined the success
or defeat Of the ticket voted for. In Ken
lucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri,
Maryland and Delaware, their numbers can
and will decide the. contest. In Missouri,
they have already decided to go--the mass
of them, We believe-ior Buchanan, and thus
will give him the electoral vote of that State.
But there is strong reason to believe that in
the other States named they will generally
support Fillmore-not because he is the
nominee of another party, but independent
Of that nomination, because Of their knowl-
edge and admiration of the man and Of his
antecedents. We have Travelled consider
ably through Kentucky within the last two
weeks, and had frequent opportunities for
consultation with the Wings. We observe
even in those who still counsel their friends
"to wait a little longer" an increasing deter
mination to go for Fillmore, MS under all
the circumstances the most consistent the
most efficient, the most patriotic, the wisest
and best course. This is our course, camly
and firmly fixed.

fW The following is the Kansas provi
sion which defeated the Army Appropriation
Bill and created the necessity for calling an
extra session of Congress-:
"Propided, however, and it is hereby de-
cared, that no part of the military force of
the United States for the support of which
appropriations are made by this act shall be
employed in aid of the enforcement of any
enactment of the body claiming to be the
Territorial Legislature Of Kansas until such
enactments shall have been affirmed and APP
proved by Congress; but this proviso shall
not b. so construed as to prevent the Presi-
dent from employing an adequate military
force; but il shall be his duty to employ such
force to prevent the invasion of said Territory
by armed bands of nonresidents, or any other
body of nonresidents, acting or claiming to
act as posse come,atus of any officer in said
Territory in the enforcement of any such en-
nctment and to protect the persons and pro-
perty therein, and upon the national high
ways leading to said Territory, from all un-
lawful searches and seizures; and it shall be
his further duty to take efficient measures to
compel the return of and withhold all arms
of the United States distributed in or to said

ALABAMA DEMOCRACY SCARED There was
an enthusiastic American Meeting at Selma
Alabama, on the 2lst inst, 1t is estimated
that there was between 5000 and 5000 per.
sons present. A correspondent of the Mont
gomery Mail makes mention as follows of a
democrat secret circular witch was discovered
and read to the meeting:
We have discovered here secret circular
issued from the Montgomery Advertiser
office, warning the democrats that il they do
not bestlr themselves vigorously and instan.
ter, that Alabama will be carried for Fillmore.
1t calls Justify for help, and says that The
State is in danger of being lost to Buchanan.
Thus il admits coufdentialIy and secretly 70
its own party what il denies to the world.

WT The total appropriations for this SEES.
sion Of Congress are estimated, by one of
our special correspondents, to cover sum
Of over sxty.three millions of dollars. In.
GLIDING the public lands squandered upon
railroad jobbers, deficiencies which will yet
have to be made up, and other items, we
presume that the treasury, for the current
year, will suffer TO the full extent of hun.
dred and fifty millions. Pretty good for a
New Hampshire President, with a Congress
republican in one branch, and democratic in
the other.

POOR OLD BUCK.
usK-"0ld Uncle Ned"


There is an old donkey, worn out Jack,
Too old to live very long,
He has no bone in the middle Of his back,
Where the bones ought to grow very strong.
Choras-Then let down the bars very low,
And drive in the poor old Joe,
There's no work for poor old "Buck, {"
Let him go where the old nags go.
His legs are long when he trots after votes,
But has no eyes for to see
And his teeth are worn out eating public oats,
So he'll have to let the public oats be.
Then let down the bars very low, &c.
He always pulls wrong, with very hard jerk,
Which gives to his driver much trouble,
He's not at all fit for our kind Of work,
For he's never yet learned to go double.
Then let down the bars very low, &c.
What the use Of a nag with so many bad ways,
So stubborn, so old and so slow.
The best we can do is to turn him out to Craze,
In the fields where the short grasses grow.
Then let down the bars very low, &c.

commanded better prices during that time.
A large number of negroes ARE brought on
