Taxes and Patriotism.

We understand that the proper officers un-
der the U. S. Excise law have been engaged
for several days in this and other districts of
the State, taking applications for licenses, and
making enumerations OF the very small class
of articles which are liable to direct taxation
under the law. We are rejoiced to learn that
the people everywhere are responding to the
demands Of the law, not only without a mur-
mur, bat willingly and cheerfully-in fact the
remark is almost uniUersqL "that those who
stay at home can well pay for sustaining those
in the army who are defending the country
and the government in this unholy war.
The patriotic spirit now being evinced by
the whole community in this most tender point
is especially gratifying, when we reflect that
many men in our midst have only anticipated
difficulty in carrying out the U. s. tax law
but have actually been endeavoring to excite
opposition against it, and to embarrass and
prevent its execution. The Statesman this
morning, endeavors to excite alarm among
the people by saying that assistants and dep
uties will soon swarm n every county, town
ship and school district" The fact is, that
a very few men in each county are quietly,
easily, and almost unnoticed by the people,
making all the assessments required by the
act. The efforts of all these demagogues,
whether editors, politicians or candidates, to
embarrass in this way, the administration and
the army, win recoil upon their own heads

Dear Sir Il am advised by pri-
vate letters from friends, and by an
nonccmcnts in the public prints, that
n convention representing the Union
Electors of the 8th Congressional
District Of Ohio, have done me the
honor Of nominating me as their can
didate for a seat in the National
House of Representatives, and that
yourself and several other gentlemen
whose names l have not learned, were
appointed a committee to officially in
form me Of the action Of the conven-
ton. l presume the committee have
performed the duty assigned them by
addressing me per mail, but Have as
yet received no communication from
the committee but suppose a for
nal acceptance Of the nomination
will be expected Of nae.
You, Sir, and all my intimate per-
sonal friends, are aware that 1 had
no agency whatever in inducing this
nomination that for many years past
l have been averse to the political
strifeS and divisions of our people,
and looked forward to the legitimate
results with fearful fore5odings that
l have repeatedly declined the proffer
of nominations to Office, and prefer
red devOting myself to what L deem.
cd enterprises of public utility,
wholly disconnected with politics. I
was therefore somewhat surprised,
when only few days prior to the
meeting of the convention learned
from the newspapers that my name
would be presented for nomination.

the James river below Richmond, and
with the means of communication
with home, at quite too late a period
to say or do anything to influence the
action Of the convention. Neverthe-
less Immediately wrote my son ex-

to procure my nomination would
probably be fruitless, as the politi-

20 saerifieo is Zoe Grsat to save the Country.

no Sacrifice is too Great to Save the Country
Mr.. Forney, in letter to the Press. dated
Sept ID, uses the following emphathatic Ian
guage:
AS have said, our policy hereafter must be
a policy of concentration and power. 1t is
not so much that we occupy towns ard strong
holds-we must ann,hilate the rebel army, and
utterly destroy every source ofits strength and
perpeuity Richmond is nothing TO US in COM
parison. Norfolk and Nashville are mere col
lections of houses, which have no advantage
beyond collection of houses in Massachusetts
and Missouri. In taking Richmond We must
utterly destroy the rebal force-and then Rich
mond is taken. Let US adopt the Roman SEN
timent-" where there is solitude, there is
peace let us make our ware ofdcstruction and
determination. Placing the Republic above
all earthly considerations, let all earthly things
perish that it may be perserv ed. Let there
be famine ard bjoodshcd and barren land, vii
lagos desolated and every evidence Of pros
perity destroyed; let every negro be euauci-
pated let the whole South be desert, but
let the Republic be preserved. These new dis
asters only intensity this fearful prayer in the
hearts of every loyal man. Let rs confess that
this 1car is nothing less than ear for empire,
This race must control the continent of A
merica There can be no rivalries in the aa-
thority. We may separate to-day, but our
children will curse US for it hereafter Far bet
ter TO pass through the ordeal now, and come
forth chasened aud triumphant, than, by a
mistaken policy and false ideas Of military or
political belief, To leave behind us Il country
cqnaIled only by Mexico in It's weakness, and
Turkey in its degradation

The REPuBrICAN STATE CONVENTION OF
New YuRK.-1he republican convention of :he
State of New York assembled at Syracuse on
Thursday and nominated Hon. James 5. Wads-

tic and perrilous civil war which the slavchold-
ers ofthe South have forced upon the natioen
all minor party distinctions are to be forgotten
aud all minor political questions to be suspn-,

Col. GoDMAN's LETTER.-We present in
another column, Col. j. Ii. GoDMAN's letter
Of acceptance of the nomination tealered him
by the Union Congressional Convention for
the 6th District, recently held in this place
1t is manly an patriotic in tone, and its sen
timeuts will be heartily responded 10 by the
Union voters of the district.
The contrast between Col. & ,dman and his
opponent is striking. Col G., though he has
attained the age that cxempts him from mill
Iary daty, was among the first TO eutcr the
service of his G1uatrg, having enrolled himself
as private in one of the companies raised in
Marion almost before the sound OF the rebel
guns directed against Fort Sumter had died
away, aud has ever since been undergoing
severe service in the field, being 50 thoroughly
that he has not visited his family for more than
year. he is all ornament 10 the military
profession, a gentleman of 6ne attaiaments,
enlarged views and unsullird reputation
On the other hand, Mr.. johnson, who We
learn is younger man, has not only taken no
personal part in the work of suppressing the
rebellion, but, notwithstanding his frieuds
| claim for him unusual powers as u pUblic
speaker, it is not known that he has at any
time raised his voice in behalf of the country
even to the extent OF aiding in the enrolment
of men in our volunteer army. He has, how
ever, since receiving the nomination, entered
upon stumpiDg tour of the district making
Pdrtisan speeches violently dcnunciatory Of the
Government and its policy, while his opponent
is enduring the hardships of the camp and the
field and exposing his life in defence of his
country and in support of our admirable system
of Government. Mr.. johnson is represented
To be very respectable gentleman, and for
aught we know TO the contrary his private
character is unexeeptionable But in all this
he has no advantage over Col Goldman, and
considering the position occupied by the reg
Pective gentlemen, we cannot conceive it pos
sibie that the loyal and patriotic voters of the
district can hesitate when they come to depo-
site their ballots for Congressman whose name
will be inscribed thereon. We entertain nc
doubt of the triumphant election of Col. G.
but in order that the victory may have it:
proper moral weight it is desirable that the
majority should be overwhelming In order
that it may be so, let US see to it that Della
ware county does her fall share of the good
work.

S. II. Hill, young man who had Just ne
turned from Nvw Orleans, where he WAS
waiter for an officer Ia Vermont regiment,
enlisted in Northampton, Mass, few days

luenee Of having a stiff finger. He told
that if he would have the finger taken off he
would pass. The finger was accordingly re-
moved, and the plucky young man has re-ea-

1t is alleged, in explanation ofthe remarkable
heavy rebel loss, compared with ours, that
they had inferior powder--had cartridges rhiet

tillery very defective.
The feeling with regard to the late engage

the't that; however brilliant our victory, its
results are disproportionately small, compared
with the cost at which they have been purch-
ased.

A NOBLE PURPosE the Glorious Re-

the march of talent, energy and noble purpose
and though full of obstacles, it contains none

'Butternuts'' on the stump.

BY letter from a gentleman Of perfect re-
liability we learn that Mr.. johnson, the But
ternut" candidate for Congress in the Eighth
District, iu a speech made the other day at
Marion, took tie open ValianGig ham groUud
that as TO the war, the Northern people were
the aggressors, and that the South isjustifabe
in lis rebellion.
That's right, Mr.. HButternut' johnson II
your heart harbors disloyalty, speak it right
sut. Speaking may relieve you Let the
people know that your sentiments aud sym
Pathies'' are with the Southern rebels against
our Government and Tree institutions. Don.
try to deceive them before The election aud be
tray them afterwards, as certain "artful dod-
gers Of the "butternut" persuasion in these
parts are aiming 10 do. Show your hand
freely. Disclose fully your sentiments Of d's-
loyalty to the North and your sympathy
With the "wrongs Of the South" Make no
concealment of these principles, and then it
will undoubtedly occur that as between you
and Col. Goldman, the people will make you
at least their second choice and that too by
very large majority. Your course, as con-
trasted with that Of Col. Goldman, will enable
the people of youf district to estimate the
principles of their candidates justly They
can see and hear you on the stump at home
defending rebellion and defaming the North:
while they hear from him on the battle field
at the head Of his regiment defending lie coun
try and daring death and danger in vindica
ton of the Constitution, of Government and
Law. You are qpite right, t,--nake the issue
bold ard distinct. Perhaps your disloyal pro-
cilivities for Secession may be all right, and
Col Godman's loyal impulses to draw his
sword in defence Of his country may be all
wrong! At all events it is just what is due
to the people that you and he should speak
and act right out your respective principles.
so that they may choose understandingly be-
tween the man that stays at home and jnsti-
fies the rebellion, and the man who leaves all
to follow and defend the banner of his country
Yes, Mr. johnson, your position is of the true
'butternut" stamp, dyed in the wool; and we
are glad to have you say SO, in order that you
may be safely elected to stay at home. = Stat e
