Gov. Hunt of New York, has made 6
speech to the silver gray wings of that city
He speaks rather favorable 10 union Of
the opposition against the Democracy next
year, but when he or any other man says
the slavery question will not enter the next
presidential election, they will be likely to
see their mistake when the time comes, il
not before. Does any one suppose that the
annexation of Cuba, and the re-opening of
the slave trade are to take place without
any agitation of this question: Must we
be SO eminenily national as not to agi-
tate against, but always for Slavery?

Connecticut.

The worst features of the campaign in
Connecticut for the republicans lave prob.
ably been presented. Their enemies, Sc,
cret and open, have played all their cards
treason is powerless for further mischief
and henceforth, apparently, the republican,
cause is to brighten day by day till the
election. The burdens laid upon it have
stimulated greater activity and greater
enthusiasm than were otherwise possible
and if this remaining week be spent in
thorough organization, as it is to be IL
thorough speaking, we believe the Iepub
lican State ticket will be chosen by mucl
larger majority than last year, and every
republican congressman carried.
Senator Wilson Of this State made si1
speeches in the Hartford and Tolland dis

ested and enthusiastic audiences. He re
ports large probable accessions TO the re
publican vote in nearly every town--for

In many towns Clark will not get a vote
for Congress in none but few, and moi
more than 200 in all, while his opposition
will gain more than that number TO the re,
publican standard. Similar results will be
likely to follow the American opposition tc

this constitution, actually refused to
sign it. They tailed - get their pro-
slavery ideas engralted in the constitu-
ton, and even failed to insert in it u
clause refusing free negroes the privilege
Of residing ia Kansas. We presume the
following sections Of the Bill OF Rights in
this constitution are suficie"t to SECURE
for it the bitter opposition Of Whit is
politely called "Dcmocracy' in this
country: a..
Sec 6. There shall be no slavery in
the State; aud no involuntary servitudc.
except for the punishment Of crime.
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted.
SEC IL. The liberty Of the press shall
be inviolate; and all persons may freely
speak, write, ur publish their sentiments
on all subjects, being responsible for the
abuse of such right.

,ion the FIRST Tuesday Of next October.

The State Taxes.

Much has been said By the Democrats
about tho high State taxes which we
have to pay under Republican rule The
fact is tha, a, no time have VIC paid a.
high rate of State tax or a. much per
head under Republican rule, us we have
under Democratic rule, and it should be
remembered too that the Democrats made
no Improvements, orncxt to none, and
that the Republicans schad to pay for
n Constitutional. Convention, two extra
sessions Of the Legislature. and have done
great deal towards the building of the
Insane Asylum, Blind Asylum. State
University, Agricultural College ard the
completion Of the peoi,entiary. : In 1851
the State tax was three mills on dollar.

has made out table showing the amour,
of State tax levied for the years ls57-a-9
in the several counties. We have not
room. for the whole table, but We give
some items from it that are Of Importance
to us. We find that the State tax levied
in Cedar county in 1857 was 1910. 81,
in 1850 Sc, 49, ID, and 10 1859 SITE
% reduction o. nearly one half in two

SqS ,al4 IL less than the tax Of 81, aud
the tax for 80, is SAL. 46S 80 less than
tina. Of SO, making a reduction Of about
SAC, 900 in Two years.
In view o. the Improvements made by
