SERMON ASECnoTEs-Most persons, not very hard
hearted can feel for the divine Who on being ask
ed to preach funeral sermon, did not find out till
he was in the pulpit, that the manuscript which he
had taken from his stock had for text, g And the
beggar died.p He at least could sympathi1e with
friend of his who found himself in nearly as awk-
ward predieament, having to /" improVeu the

book from which frequent quotations have been
made, how an undersigned piece of symbolism

friend Of Dean Swift, was requested by a country
Clergyman to take his duty for him on the next
Sunday. The doctor, then in high favor at Dublin
Castle, complied, and preached an old sermon on
the words. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
was the anniversary of the succession of the House
Of Hanover, and the supposed insult was never
forgiven" Irish divines have ever been noted for
their eccentrieities. None but clergyman from
beyond the Channel would, on being appointed to
preach a = condemned1 Sermon have selected an
/ old University discourse, and have promised the
unfortunate CRIMINAL who was to be hanged on the
morrow, that the remainder of the homily should
be given ON the next Sunday. None but a son of

The Presidency.

The N. Y. Tribune is ont in long article IA
| voring the nomination of Mr.. Bates of Missouri
for the Presidency. OF course the Tribune has
ton, as upon every other, but to our mind,
nothing could result from such course but dis.
aster to the party. Defeat, with our principles
unsullied, and our organization compact, would
DO thousand times preferable tn victory at the
risk of being Tylerized, and our organization
broken to pieces.
We quote the Adrertiser as follows upon this
subject:
This preference it is true, is qualified with
an If IF the Convention shall decide that
Gov. Seward or Gov. Chase cannot safely be
nominated, then the man for the hour il Ed
ward Bates and it has labored with much zeal
for year past to convince Republicans, that it
would be unsafe to nominate any straight out
Republican.
Its prominent reason for desiring the nom.
nation of this gentleman is that though 'es-
sentially Republican, he has not hitherto
been identified with our party and is not
therefore Exposed to the prejudices which
have been unjusty excited against our veteran
leaders,.
"The Tribune should remember that the very
reason which has averted from him the preju-
dice of doughfaces, is the one which has failed
to secure for him the confidence and friendship
Of the Republicans. 1t says:
The River and Harbor men will be glad
to hail as a candidate the President of the Chi
cago River and Harbor Convention"
perhaps the Tribune is right. But will Re-
pubfcans be equally glad to hail as a candidate
the President" of the Baltimore Convention
Mr.. Bates was the President of this Convention,
at which, it will be remembered, the ,Presiden-
tial candidate (Mr. Fiilmore) of the third party
in 1856 was nominated This was the move
ment got up to defeat Fremont, and it did de.
feat him. Will Republicans "be glad" to vote
for the man who presided over that "pira;ical"
movement, as it has been characterized by the
Tribune2
The Lansing state Republican. [volume] (Lansing, Mich.) 1855-1874, 1860-02-28

Let US illustrate In 1913, man worth
81 600 had to pay State tax OF s. o., and in
1855 his tax was 50 50, In 1851, at the low
est rate of these five years Of Democratic iule,
his tax was So AZ, and in 1859, at the highest
rate of the fire years Of Republican rule, his
tax was only 81 ~ This must be plain to the
most obtuse mind.
Now let US take another view OF the subject.
The aggregate State valuation from the year
ls4s to the year 1852, inclusive, was $3.50, 244,-
ISL. The aggregate State tax for the same time
was $685., 1898. The aggregate State valuation
from the year 1856 to the year 1859, inclusive,
was SCI ,Ol4,5lO. The aggregate State tax for
the same time was si77,793. Thus We see that
during five years Of Democratic rule, upon an
aggregate property valuation Of the State of
$3.50, 769,729 less, they assessed an aggregate
State tax of $lO5, 100 GREATER, than has been
levied during five years of Republican rule. Had
the Republican party during the past FIVE years,
oppressed the people of Michigan with State tax
proportionate to that which they had to bear dur
ing the five previous years mentioned, they would
have compelled them to pay the round sum Of
S2,GO3.21G 2s!::

and necessity of a return of the good old Dem

The Lansing state Republican. [volume] (Lansing, Mich.) 1855-1874, 1860-02-28

The pro-slnvery democracy are just now set
ting up howl like q pack of wolves, starving
with hunger, and thirs.ing for blood. As one OF
the principle notes of the chorus il, taxes
ta1es!! taxes!!" We propose to give them
bone to pick that will be apt to last them a
while, at least.
1t cannot be disputed that fair method Of
weighing the load of taxation which now rests
upon the people, is to compare it with what they
have heretofore endured.
In the year 1S4s, the State tax was FIVE MILLS
AND POUR HuNDREDrHs OF A MILL Upon THE
DOLLAR! while in 1855 1t cas but hirty-three
Aundyedths of a mill upon the dollar In ! $40
il was thee mills and titty-three hundreaths Of
a mill upon the dollar! in 1856, torty-se,en hun
dyedths of a mill. In 1850 it was three mills
and eiqh,y-seren hundr%dths of mill in 1857,
.irty-one hundredths Of mill. In 1881 it was
three mills and torty-tpo hundredths Of a nall
in 1853 sixty.One hundredths of a mill. In ! $50
it was three mills and fifty.fve hundredths Of a
mill on the dollar, while, last year, the year they
raise such howl about, it was only one mill aud
forty-seren hundreiths Of a mill npon hedollar.
Here is a fair comparison of the burden of taxa
ton which the people have borne during five
years of Republican Administration, with that
which they had to bear during five years Of
Democratic Administration and if our locotoco
friends are satisfied with the exhibit, We certainly
are.
