TIE LATEST DEVELOPMENT.
Let the Farmers Remember

That if Congress should pass rigid
conhscation law. appropriating to Govern
ment uses the property of those rebels who
have been most active in stirring mp the
present unholy rebellion. the farming
community in the North would scarcely
feel the additional taxes imposed on them
on account of the war; and that, therefore
should the Government taxes in the fu
ture be oppressive on the farming inter
ests. the whole blame will rest on the
shoulders OF those who. at this time, op.
pose the making of such law because they
feel deeper interest in tn p rosperi,y o.
s .uthern shareholders than they do in tie
access OF Northern farmers.
