A GREAT DISCOVERY, Our readers will
recolle2t that Congress, in July last, pass
ed an act to raise S2O,OOO.0OO by direct
taxes assessed on real estate and incomes +;
but in order to make the thing "go down"
with their constituents they directed the
Secretary of the Treasury TO appoi lion
IS, I23, 800 of this amount to South Caro-
lima and the other seeded States--thus
reducing the amount to he paid by the
loyal States to less than SIS 600, 900. But
the Secretary has made the wonderful
discovery that the Seceders will not pay
their quota, and 20 informs Congress in his
late report, and says the whole amount
must be paid by the loyal States. Where
is the man with even half the sense claim,
ed for Mr.. Chase, who did not know that
this would be the case? This is claimed
to be Peoples Government. Then why
do the people permit their servants to
deceive them with false promises and false
hopes? Why not show the people, open :
ly and candidly the full magnitude Of the
burthens they must bear, without procti-
cling this disgraceful system of indirest!on
and sugar coating.

BeA..It will be IecOllected that the "a.
nancal feat" accomplished by Secretary
Chase, in negotiating $4,000, 600 of Uni
ted Ststes Treasury Notes "at par" at
New York, in October last, was heraldcd
forth as "the greatest financial achieves
ment ever won 10y any man."
1t appears by his late report to Congress
that the victory was not quite SO great,
after all at least we thiuk the people will
not so consider it. The feat was accom-
pli.he ed thus: The Secretary started from
Washington with Sj0,00O,0OO of United
States Treasury notes, and returned with
SIS 600, 900 of New York Bank notes. II
this is "par" transaction we would like
TO know what discount meanS; or else
the public would like to be informed what
became of the odd 5000, ,0000 Will some
of these "par" Abolition journals throw
some light upon the subject? Can they
not inform US whether it was a ,ictory in
favor of the Secretary and his friends, or
in favor of the Government?
