Every dsy some new leaf Is turned over dis
closing new rogueries and rascaiities With the
peoples taxes. The last exhibit of our taxes
swelled them up to nine millions; the next will
most likely be ten millions. When will our
taxpayers wake up Are not nine or ten mil
lions enough, or do they want ten or fifteen
millioDs to stir them into action? They nuua-
Der thirty thousand voters, who can control
thirty thousand more. Why not begin at nine

twelve or fifteen millions? What sense is there
in waiting to have every pocket picked?

COLLAPSE OF THE ASTrSIAvERY AGITATION
The defeat Of Blair for Congress, in Missouri,
indicates a remarkable collapse in the anti
slavery agitation. II is but the beginning of
the end. Kansas is done for; and the same
wholesome conservative general reaction which
eliminated in the election of 1852 is now be-
ginning to work against the niger agitators.
The Seward republican party are in shoal
water, and the chances now are that before De-
cember next they will be hard aground. The
defeat Of Blair in ST. Louis shows that Kansas
shrieking has ceased to pay expenses. That
st. Louis election is one of the most significant
and important manifestations of new political
revolution.

The SHRIEKs OF THE SEWARD BOTTLE HOLD
ERs-Thurlow Weed is in dreadful stew over
the discovery of a new dark lantern organiza-
ton, under cover of which the pestilent Know
Nothings contemplate the seizure Of all the
Offices and ali the spoils of the proposed black
pepper and cayenne coalition. Thuriow de-
LOUNGES this secret organization as "the corspi-
racy exposed as 'the secret plot to betray the
republican party" az thingo "arevolting, de-
noraljzing al d infamous anti-republican charac-
ter''-so revolving indeed, that honest men "who
have been approached by the conspirators'
shave spuIned alike the treason and the
traitors" He further assures us that this new
Know Nothing secret society is an ubiquitous
plot" the sole object of which is ito use the
republican party to promote the personal inter-
ests of the conspirators," and that "a more
infamous scheme was rever concocted in this
republic" Hear the indignant Thurlsw:-

low conepirators.
This is certainly terrible organization--a
regular "Rye House" or "Gunpowder Plot
against the badly frightened Seward Albany
junta. But we know not what to do for the re-
lief of the excited Master Weed, or in behalf Of
the union Of the American and republican
parties" excep. to advise the same course
as that which they pursued in the ST.
Louis Congressional election-a separate
American and a separate republican ticket
for thus. in the result, both parties will
stand even, for they will each be revenged
upon each other. And this will doubtless be
the upshot of the row. When Seward and
Fillmore shall be brought to sleep under the
same blanket like the immortal Bolts and Csp-
tain Tyler then we shall believe in a union
between cur Seward and Fillmore factions. AS
the matter stands there is an excellent pros
pect in our November election for a finishing
blow to Seward and his Albany lobby. Let
him lose New York this fall, and he will never
touch bottom in 1860.

HE CONVICTION OF BRANCH-Thle important
and summary dispensation of criminal justice
will go far towards redeeming the character of
our Judges, and shielding the private reputa-
tons of such of our citizens a. are fortunate or
unfortunate enough to occupy public positions.
The prompt action of the Recorder merits all
praise, and is, we believe, fully sustained by
the community at large There are, however,
come two or three of the city journals which
put in plea of mitigation for the convict In
this case and affect to believe that the sentence
was too severe. We are sorry to see such an
exhibition Of stupidity, or something worse, on
the part of these journalists. 1t is not OF much
consequence per Sc, whether or not the man
Branch is confined for a year or month; but
in view of the fact that he is not alone in the
prostitution Of pen, ink and paper to the most
filthy and scandalous purposes, it is absolutely
necessary that some exemplary punishment
should be inflicted upon him. as the representa-
tive of class of libelous, obscene and piratical
publicists. AS we have before stated, the ap-
pearance of these sheets at the present time is
no more nor less than the periodical eruption of
trash which last appeared among us some twelve
years ago in the shape of the Whip, the Flash, and
the SuJterroneon and has now come to the sur
face in the columns Of Branch's alligator, the
Red Fiog and Porter's Spirit Of the Times. In the
days of the Whip, Flash and Subterranean the
conductors Of these papers were duly punished
by Imprisonment, and their business broken up.
Some of the same parties are now engaged in
the same business in the obscene sheets Of the
present day. They are made the tools of broken
down politicians, and prostitute their presses to
the abuse Of public men who have been more
successful than their employers. The conduc-
tors of the journals above mentioned are used
as vehicles for the publication Of lbellous and
obecene assaults upon private character, aud
print such attacks as would not be admitted
into any part of respectable newspaper. The
various cliques in this city of all parties, carry
their political animosity into private life, and
suborn miserable fellows like Branch to abuse,
not only their opponents, but to scandalize
their wives and families. The Mayor of the
city has displayed commendable dignity in de-
handing the protection of the law, and putting
bis libeller to the proof. In every way the re-
suit of the trial is just, aud II will teach the
other persons who follow in the footsteps of
Branch good Lessen. They will sec that they
may yet have another opportunity Of enjoying
the hospitality of the city at Blackwell's
Island, and they will take care how they pro
woke such pressing invitation as that which
the Recorder has given to the alligator man.
