NECESSITY OF UNIFORM TAxATIoN.-Now that
the government has developed its plans for
raising the sinews of war, and that one of these
is comprehensive system of taxation, it will
be necessary for Congress to be very careful as
to the manner in which it imposes taxes, so
that they shall not fall unequally upon classes,
nor upon individuals of the same class. The
politicians and others from each class subject to
taxation will henceforth be crowding to Wash
ington, or writing letters to members of Con.
,gress, to secure exemption from taxation or to
render it as light as possible. II members Of
Congress were to listen to all the representa-
tions that will be made to them on this subject
There would be very little money raised for the
war. Some newspaper proprietors, for in
stance, are crying out against taxation upon that
species Of property, and object to one-quarter
or one-half cent copy, while others want to
have papers of small circulation entirely ex-
empt from taxation, and those Of large circula-
tion to pay for the whole press. This is mani
testify unjust and contrary to the spirit of the
constitution, which requires taxation to be
uniform" Let the tax be laid equally upon
all newspapers, and let all other descriptions of
property be taxed, without favoritism or injus-
tice to any. Thus alone will the tax bill be
made productive, while, at the same -..e, none
will have right to complain.

DECENTRALIZATION IN THE REBEL ARMY.-The
near expiration of the term of enlistment of
upwards of eighty thousand of the troops in
the service of the rebel junta in Virginia is evi-
IDENTIFY inspiring that august body with the
most serious uneasiness. The tone of their or
,gaas shows that they have but very little expec-
'tation of being able to retain any considerable
portion of them. The fact that ont of an entire
South Carolina regiment, whose time was up
&he other day, not more than one hundred men
could be got to re-enlist, is tolerably conclu-
sive proof that their fears are well founded. If
the South Carolinians, who were the first to
(. raise the standard of rebellion, thus early de-
sert it, what hopes are there that the men from
the other States can be induced to remain in
hopeless inactivity at Manassas the more par
~tlcularly since they find the safety of their
homes threatened at every point by the federal
expeditions? This enlistment question is the
greatest danger that has as yet menaced the
rebel government. If it allows so large por.
ton of its force to disband, it will be impossi-
ble for it to replace it with any but the rawest
material in time for the threatened advance of
Mcclellan. If it passes an enactment to force
the malcontents to remain, it will lead to a mu-
tiny of the most extensive and dangerous cha
racter. 1t is evidently on the horns of dilem-
. ma, from which it sees no means of escape Tho
zanxious forebodings of its organs prove the
wisdom Of General McClellan's policy of pa
tience. When he advances he will find the
strength Of his adversary broken by other and
more bloodless agencies than the movements
urged by those profound military strategists,
Generals Gurley and Greeley.

Compression Address.

The address which we publish in our
columns to-day. signed by fourteen mem.
bers of Congress, will strike the Democra-
cy of the Union with surprise. less on &C.
count OF any positions it pre- &ents, than by
the absence of signatures.
There are Is Democrats and five Union.
ISIS IN the Senate and AZ Democrats and
20 onlonis'S in the House Senator Car.
',"'e and Others. called tnioniss, attended
Inc Democratic consultation and were, We
understand, prepared to sign an address
calling upon the Conservative electors TO
rally to the support Of the Constitution.
We have never favored the setting IN Ct
Congressional platforms for party govern
men'. The Democracy of Jew York have
always opposed this assumption. They
heve not found anything in recent expe.
rience of such intervention to encourage
them. The memory of the attempts of the
Senatorial Cabal which conspired against
Douglas, to dictate platform to the
Charleston and Baltimore Conventions. is
yet fresh. They prefer to let the De.
mocracy be heard through National and
State Conv"ntions.--Albony Argus.

THAT ADDRESS,

The Dubuque Herald takes the Daven.
port Nens to task for certain criticisms
which the latter hes been pleased to pass
upon the Address lately issued by certain
Democratic Congressman, and charges
the News with an attemp, to " dis,rac. the
councils and disturb the harmony Of the
Democratic party Wa confess we can.
not clearly see the business of this censure.
Every Democrat has his own opinion about
the propriety and merits Of that Address.
1t did not cmanatc from the Demo cratic
party; was not announced as the platform
OF the party, nor did lis authors pretend
thereby to commit the party or bind any
member Of it unless it be the signers OF
that document. 1t not being the creed Of
the party we are al a loss 10 see how De-
mocrats dissenting theretrom distract
the councils and disturb the harmony of
the party
We think that the address is ably writ.
ten and presents solemn truths which We
trust the people will heed before it is too
late. The denuncia,iun Of Abolition asi
taton is strong and just. Still, there are
features in that Address. which as Dem,
ocrat, we wish it did not possess. There
are fifty five straight out Democrats in
Congress. Where are the forty one whose
names are not signed to that document
If they were not afforded an opportunity
to sign it then the document is not
Democratic address bat cheat; if they
refused to sign it, then the Address has
no party claims, or significance whatever.
Besides, the Address savors too strongly
of the Breckenridge element which dis
tracted Democratic councils in 1861:
broke up the Charleston Convention di.
viacd the party for the express purpose of
electing a Republican President, and
thereby by their own acts creating pre-.
text for this rebellion. With that element
We have no secret or avowed sympathy.
While the address is severe upon Abo,
li,onists-and justly so-it is not equally
severe upon this rebellion and its authors.
This is an important omission. |. should
be just as severe, explicit and unequvocal
in its condemnation of the rebellion and
its authors, as of Northern agitaters.
The Government aud Constitution are
beset by enemies enemies open and enc
mics secret. l. is the plain duty Of the
Democratic party to sot its face firmly
against both-to bend all its energies
first to the effectual putting down of all
who are in arms against the Government
and to bringing them back to an ack-
Of the Federal authority,
and then to deposing from political pow,
er. position and influence, every fanatic Of
every locality.
Aud to this end we should seek The
cordial co operation Of every NAH favor
able to such work.

THE HElGur OF MEANNrss.--We once
read OF man that took an egg to sell 10
merchant. taking IN exchange for it a
darninE needle. He then claimed that
according to custom the merchant should
treat him to drink on tho ground ,ha,
every one was entitled to it who made a
purchase. The merehan, demurred lii
tie, and finally consented, asking him what
he would take.
Oh, | don, know" quoth the customer;
!" ! guess | will have an egg broke into
some por. wine The same egg which he
had jus. brought was opened in wine aud
drank. 1t was discovered that it was u
double yolhed egg whereupon the c3ntemp
tible hound demanded another reedle.-
That was pretty mean, but not worse than
the man VINO Used to feed his mother on
dried apples for brea ktls,, give her water
for dinner. and let the apples swell, for
supper. The same fellow used to give his
son cent to 90 without his supper, aud
then steal it away from him when he was
asleep. A regiment Of the souls Of such
men would find plenty of room for dancing
inside Of n mustard seed.
The fellow that distracted the pennies
from the eye lids Of drfunct darkey, and
then kicked the corps. because they were
not quarters, was what you might perhaps
regard as dirty, lived whelp; but
what, we will ask you, would YOU call a
man who persisted in stealing newspapers
from the doors of his neiehbors, OR caused
them to be stolen for him? Language
has no word adequate to express such
doubled distilled mcanncss.- -, Duteiue
