bred Scott decision which establishes
slavery in the territory by virtue Of the
constitution, yet in his speech at Free
port he said that the territorial legis-

or even to prohibit it, by refusing to
pass laws to sustain it. This, Of course,
is perfect nonsense. When Slavery
goes into a territory under the consti-
tuition, as interpreted by the highest

"a more silly, disgusting exhibition
Of ignorance and duplicity was never
made by a man Of respectable preten-
sions. According to Senator Douglas,
the Territorial Legislatures, though
prohibited by the Constitution from
abolishing slavery within their respec-
tive Jurisdictions, may lawfully abstain
from enforcing the rights Of slavehold-
ers, and SO extinguish the institution
by voluntary neglect. In other words,
Senator Douglas contends that the Ter
ritorial Legislature may lawfully evade
the Constitution by deliberately omit
ting to protect the rights which it es
tablishes. He holds that the people of
! the Territories may lawfully abolish
slavery indirectly, though the Constitrl-

this extraordinary way Of communicate

The success of the Republican, prin-

name, depends upon the convictions
and the enthusiasm of the masses, and
not upon mere political management,
as the old corrupt party-organizations
understood the practice. Every ap-
peal to honest convictions will be of
effect, but all tricky operations which
aim only at temporary eXpediency and
the personal promotion OF individuals,
will lower the character of the party
without subscribing its true ends. In
so far, what opponents might call good
management, would be miSmanagement
with us.
a party which represents free prin-
ciples can never succeed without rails

a Few plain Words about Taxes.

On issuing the usual call for Taxes wish to
accompany it with few remarks which may be
of some use to those whom this subject concerns
First, The taxes of all resid ent owners of rea
estate must be paid. The taxes upon lots own
cd by non-residents, but occupied by tenants
must be provided for by the tenants or agents.
Seeond, Taxes on personal property, not paid
before January 18th, 1859, will be collected by
distress and sale. Taxes on real estate, not paid
before February LIST, 1859, will be collected as
the lao requires. -- esa al as
Third, The various taxes can be paid in cash
of each tax in its respective kind of scrip only.
City scrip will apply on city taxes only; and in
like manner with the remainder
Now the foregoing statement indicates such
change in the affairs of my Office as will justify
and require few words of explanation.
First then-in consideration of the stringency
OF the times last year, many Of our owners OF
real estate were allowed to evade the payment
of their taxes at the proper time. Depending
for relief upon the annual tax sales, the Treas
urer was more leRient than the result justified
The lands in the market did not find purchasers.
The city had to accept from the county, tax GER
tiicates to large amount, in payment for ro
turned lands. These certificates have been sold
at considerable sacrifice and great inconvenience.
A portion of them are still on hand. The bur
den Of loss falls with equal weight upon those
who were prompt in making their payments,
and furnishes them with cause for very severe
complaint Hence it will appear why we say
the taxes must be paid " if property can be
found, out of which the amount can he realized
In the second place, only need to state that
the reason for this Limitation of time is, that by
the dates above given each one will have had
ample time to make proper arrangements, and
delay beyond these dates will justify recourse to
more rigid steps. s.ff.r4;g
Thirdly. The exaction of the respective kinds
Of script for each tax, or cash, is this year an
indispensable measure. Fer four years il has
been pleasure to me to accept city orders in
discriminatory for all tarss. This year it cannot
be done. When the amount of taxes levied and
the amount and kinds of scrip likely to be nr..
scented, are taken into consideration the reason
for this course will be obvious But an addition
al reason is, that have upon my own hands
debt of more than 100000 incurred by proeur-
ing money to supply the demands of the city
during the current yssr-and for replacing
which am dependent upon the collections to
be made out of the present tax. @aa d. 5a

The fear Of the Lord is the beginning Of wisdom I;

Letter from Boston.

BOSTON, Nov. 4, 1853.
Messrs. Edito,s,-Now that the dust of the
battle is subsiding, we are beginning to lock
around us, aad away frem the glorious victsry
which the Republicans of Massachusetts, have
SO gallantly won, to the States whore the result
was somewhat more doubtful than it was here
You have already heard of our triumph here
the complete success of the Republicans, and
the reelection Of Gov. Banks for another year.
The " battle ground > of tho st ate was in the
4th and 9Th congressional districts, and upon
them centred all the interest in the conflict. In
the 9Th particularly, the democracy made the
most strenuous efforts to defeat B arlingams and
elect John t. Heard. 1t is said that scores
and even hundreds, of voters have boon made,
for the purpose of elscting him; and so confident
were his friends of success, that even on election
day, large bets were made that he would be sue
cessful.
The speech of Ex-Governor Gardner in his
favor, had the effect, howev sr, to disgust many
Americans, and Mr.. Burlingame was elected BY
nearly 500 plurality. aa .8r n Ills sll} q
In the 4th district the contest seemed to be
between Msssrs.s Rice and Thompson. The
friends Of the latter held mass nesting in
Franklin square the night before the election,
and the presence of three or four thousand, the
music of the bands, the flashing of the fireworks,
and the inspiring words Of the speakers seemed
to augur we'll for success on the morrow. Bat
when the morrow came change came with it,
and hardly a corporsl's guard were found to
vote for him, while the ballots for ''Young Hick.

Mr. Rice was, however, elected by large and

one Of the most popular members Of the mex,

sentative. He was the popular mayor Of Bos.

Billinghurst Defested-A possible Rea-

The Milwaukee Free Democrat, of
last week, has an article on the subject
of congressional candidates, in which a
sensible view of the matter is taken.
The following extract indicates its SEN
| timent: 9a .t.ssa
1.-TWO successive elections to place as
important as that of congressman is a
distinguished mark of favor and conf
dence which can only be continued to
one man and withheld from others by
overwhelming considerations. LOCAL.
ties as well as men are interested in it,
and nomination for third term sought
or asked for, cannot fail to bring the
candidate to the polls with impaired
strength" fa @
The Free Democrat expresses our
views fully; Dir. Billinghurst has been
twice elected to the distinguished post
of member of congress. That he has
been faithful representative, cannot be
denied. Nevertheless, man who has
had two elections to such a position,
should not ask for third, unless there
be some spontaneous indications on the
part of the people he represents, that
they desire his further services. At
any rate if man who has served thus
long, has not created interest or enthu-
Siasm enough among his constituents to
induce voluntary expression in favor
of his denomination, he ought to have
the modesty to retire from the field.
The history of our country furnishes
but few instances where candidates for
congress have been re-nominated for
successive terms, during long period
of years, by the spontaneous expression
OF their constituency. Talents and pc.
culiar fitness, which commend them
selves so strongly to the people, are not
very common. A candidate who has
one or more times been elevated to an
important trust, and is brought forward
again for a reelection, finds it pleas
ant task to canvass his district, provided
the people were generally in expectancy,
and DESTROYS of his denomination. But
when candidate for reelection, is fore
ed to travel over his district, to create
an enthusiasm which did not before ex-
list, he has hard road to travel.
The case of Judge Potter affords an
excellent illustration: he did not ask a
denomination, until it was quite appa-
rent his constituents very generally de-
sired it. This being SO, his re-nomina-
ton was hailed with satisfaction, and his
friends entered with earnestness into the
contest for his success. The truth in
matters fthis kind, ought to be spoken
out plainly. 1t cannot be denied that
public men are every year, growing less
regardful of public propriety; having
once been promoted by the SURFACES of
the people, they are quite apt to throw
on all sense OF modesty, and set about
getting up public sentiment in favor of
their re-promotion. They seemingly
dare not trust the people to pass ON their
merits and therefore herald their own
fitness and qualifications. There ba,
