Direct Ts1ation--Mr. Boyce's scheme.
1t is now pretty evident that the ordinary
expenses of the General Government Will be
at least sixty millions per annum. 1t Is
much more likely to exceed this estimate than
to fall below it. Democracy has proven to
be the most costly Ut all the elements of po-
litical power, AZ far a. the experience Of the
United States goes. Under It's auspices the
Administration of our national affairs has
| been rapidly increasing IN Its expenses ever
since it acquired the control over them We
! have no reason to believe that the puelle ex-
peuditures will be dime less than they row
are as long ss the pres Mt regime continues,
but We have every reason to believe thatthey
will be greatly augmented. Here, 10 Nlr'
pnis, the people are saddled with an euor-
nous public debt which sui jects them TO a
| taxation which has become a serious burden
! upon them, with no hope Of It's dlmInutlOn
| for many years, If ever. 80 well known Is
their unwlllingness, cot to say aversion, TO
the imposition Of any further rates upon as
sessments that the Legislature will hardly
venture for long time to come, to trouble
them 10 that way unless II shall be absolute
| ly necessary to preserve the credit and save
the honor of the commonwealth. Now, up
on the assumption that the expenses OF the
General Government are sixty millions OF
dollars, If the present Revenue System was
abolished, and direct taxes resGIIed to-as the
sole means for defrsying those exIiauses, the
States, respectively, would have TO furnish
their quotas to the Treasury and these quotas
would be- OF course, in proportion to their re
lative federal population. Under the censu'
Ui 1860 We will suppose the aggregate popu
latiou U: the Union to be thirty millions, II
round nun bers, and the representative pop
uiatiun of Virginia to be 100000. Under
the Direct System OF taxation the call upot
her by the Federal Treasury would be foT
about twentieth part OF the whOle-that Is
three millions annually. And this 10 hard
dollars taken plumply out OF the pockets Of
the people,
The present rate of assessment upon lands,
for State purposes, is forty cents III the hun
dred dollars value, and this is felt to be an
announcement burden. II three millions OF
dollars more were added the rate would have
to be advanced at least eighty cents beyond
what it now il; or in other words, the taxes
would be trebled. This is the way that d.
rect taxation would operate upon the people
of the several States. They would have two
sets of tax-gatherers TO square accounts Wlth'
and il is more than doubtful whether they
would be proited one cent by reduction 10
tue prices OF imported goods and wares from
the duties upon which the General Govern
ment how derives its support. Oar opinion
is that let the experiment recommended by
MIR. BOyce be made when 1t may, 1t will re-
suit in speedy explosion. 1t would not be
tolerated tgo years. Just as soon as man
has to count out bis coin and tork it over to
Uncle Sans collector, his thoughts will rise
in rebellion against the doctrine which sub
iects him to such a depletion - Peters ry. Int

Disunion lIoyemc nts.

The agitation Of the subject OF reviyng the
African Slave Trade, aud the prominent pc
sition gisen TO it in the discussions OF the re-
cent Southern Commercial Convention at
Montgomery, lead TO the conclusion that there
IL ut the bottom of il sentiment IN favor OF
a dissolution Of the Union. On no other by.
puthesis can we explain the sudden impetus
that has been given to toe movement 1t
will be recolected that, not more than two
years ago, o resolution was offered 10 Con
gress, declaring the reopcnIng OF the Slave
Trade to be inexpedent and contrary to the
settled policy of the country. This resaln-
ton was carried almost unanimously. There
were only eight votes in the negatIve-and
two OF three of these eight voted against the
the resolution, as they decla red not because
they disapproyed Of 1t, but because they re-
gardel It's introduction a. Ill timed and out
Of place.
Such was the sentiment Of Congress two
years ago-and, in about the same proper
ton, such are the sentiments OF the people
now. That the North is unanimously OppUs-
ed to the reOpening of the Slave Trade, sc
suppose no ole disputes-and that large
portion Of the Southern people are also
against it, is apparent t. all. Many of them
oppose it, not because they believe there is
anything wrong 10 the thing itself but be-
cause they consider that it would work an ir-
repable injury to the South
10 this state Of the case, everybody will
gee that the reopcning OF the African SlIse
Trade, with the sanction of the Government,
is utterly impossible. No Congress can ever
be brought together that would egali2e il
no Administration could protect the traffic if
it even had the legislative and executive sane
ton. Why then this persistent agitation OF
the question Why this striving after some
thing that is wholly impractical bic? We
can come but to one conclusion about it
and that is that. in the extreme South, it is
the design OF the politicians who have mount
ed this hobby. TO use 1t as a prrtcxt FIR the
dissolution of the Unio:.- Ly,.chGurg FT' u.

Much 10 being said, now day., about
the Reconstruction Of parties" We copy
in another column an article from the
Richmond Wing. containing many just views
on the impolicy Of organizing a mere South
ern party-as being likely iu itself to build
up mere Northern party--and thus keeping
alive sectional division, in which the North
would prevail aud the South Do 10 the mi.
nority, and offer temptations to aggressions
upon our rights. The Baltimore American
refers to The Geographic dispatch concerning
the programme Of whatis called the Peoples
Party Of the Union, which, it says, "looks
we'll on paper, and the main principles CT
the platform are excellent" but it doubts the
possibility Of manufacturing party to or
derin this way. Parties. it says, "mustb have a
natural and spontaneous growth. They can
not be forced" 1t seems probable, just now,
that, II the distractng and annoying subject
of Slavery could be got rid OF, by determi-
nation on oil hands to ignore it, and leave the
matter, exclusively and entirely to the States
where Slavery exists. aud which are alone
concerned, parties would soon fall again into
the two natural divisions, containing the dem
ocrstic and conservative elements, materials,
views, and purposes, (haviug nothing sec,
tional in their designs) somewhat similar
to the Democratic aud Wing parties, in the
days Of Jackson and Van Buren,, and Clay
and Webster. In free country, there will,
and probably should be, always Two parties
and in all governments, where there is liberty
and representation, the elements to which We
have referred, modified by circumstances,
exist and are brought into play. Here. with
Us, Conservative or Wbig principles, must
always maintain firm hold upon the large
classes of our countrymen in both sections.
There are subjects enough connected with our
foreign policy, our financial condition, our
home administration, to occupy and keep In
clear opposition two great national parties,
without having the slightest reference to
Slavery or Sectional contests. Whilst the
matter Of Slavery is made political ques'
ton, We shall continue to have sectional strife,
not national politics.
