State Equalization.

By the Equalization Of the State Senate e.
per cent was added to he equalized valuation
of the lands of this County, while the valuation
of village property remains unchanged. The
effect OF this IS to raise the valuation of proper-
ty assessed at s. 600, to ST. .67O-on which all
taxes are to be levied. We have expressed. and
are still of the opinion. that this is most unius,
IN It's effects upon the Towns. and that they will
De Obliged TO pay disproporionate share Of
tie Taxes of this year. We hardly think this
was tie intention of the State EquaIizers. but
the law has been determined, and we know
OF no way TO evade it. The matter should re-
ceive the attention of the next Legsla ture, and
another attempt made to secure equal ty in tax
alton.

Daily national Democrat., 1859-06-15
The ROiters.

There are boilers from the Democratic
party, and who are theyR There are two
parties now in the political field. each claim
ing for itself the name of Democrat, but diff
fering, and differing widely in their political
opini ms The Democratic party was not
severed until James Buchanan came into
power, and inaugurated q new doctrine dis
tasteful to a great mass of the people. When
he ascended the Presidential Chair. the Dem
ocratic party was unbrokep In short
time afterwards, great question came be-
fore the people-the question of popular
sovereignty. The question was raised by
President Buchanan, in his endeavor to force
an obnoxious constitution upon the unwilling
people of a territory The history Of those
times is fresh in the minds of us all
The voice of the people OF Kansas who
cried out against the infamous constitution
which was endeavored, by trickery. to be
palmed off upon them by its trainers was un-
needed by President Buchanan Here was
his first mis-step. He would not hear the
voice of the people, and in so doing denied
that they had the right to speak in their own
behalf Here arose the great question which
severed the Democratic party. The President
still retained supporters; but he was support
ed in great measure from policy, and not
from pinciple. Some who voted for the ad-
mission of Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution, are known to have abhorred
that Constitution. The most of the Demo
cratic party, we doubt not, considered his
course in thus attempting to stifie the voice
of the people, most unwise one
His action in that respect was an undemo-
cratic one, out and out. But because he was
President, and because federal patronage has
many allurements, he has retained around
him number of supporters, like Senator
Brown, of Mississippi, who recently took so
bold position in favor Of the Intervention
of Congress in the atfaira of a Territory.
Senator Brown, Senator Green, of Mis-
souri,, and others who SO strongly advocate
the right Of Congress to intervene in regard
to slavery in the affairs of a Territory, are the
chief supporters of the present Administra
ton. They sustained the President in the
Kansas controversy upon the same ground
that they sustain aim now. The right of the
pc pie to regulate their domestic concerns in
their own way, subject only to the Constitu'
tion of the United States, forms no part Of
their political belief The only true sup
porters the Presidents has, are those who re-
pudiate the doctrine OF popular sovereign.
If the President and his principal supporters,
Brown d Co., have denied the existence of
popular rights in the Territories, can they
still claim to be of the old Democratic faith
fthe Democratic party is divided, who. we
ask, are the bolters?
