Rerrenchment-Our State Taxes.

> The Legislature is now in the fifth
week of the session, and the people natu
rally begin to look for some evidences of
what is to be done in the way of retrench-
meut and reduction of our State and
local taxes, 10 order to make tn. burden
of the inevitable Federal taxes as light
as possible.
2 Il is quite probable that each member
of the General Assembly feels deep in
terest in the matter, and that there is an
all pervading desire to cut down our taxes,
in certain branches of the public service,
but with all this. we incline to the opinion
that the new burdens the Legislature will
impose, will in the end exceed any re-
duction which will resql, from its labors-
and therefore, SO far as the people have
looked or may look to this Legislature
for relief, we incline to the opinion they
will be disappointed
We do not say this in any spirit Of
ult.finding, and sincerely hope We may
be mistaken, but still we venture the pre-.
diction that beyond the cutting down ol
the salary of some unfortunate Office
holder. but little will be done by the
"Union" Legislature of the State o
Ohio, in the way of retrenchment and re
form. Should it be otherwise. we viii
make the necessary Acknowledgements.

in him, and no hostile criticism of the
gentleman here can shake that faith. The
attack of my colleague is like that of the
"pigmy with straw against a giant cased
in adamant'
My colleague is not satisfied with any
thing short of an advance at every haz-
ard. He is not satisfied with the Presi-
dent, for he defers to Mcclellan; not sat-
is6ed with any Commander-in chief. for
no one can command even three hundred
thousand men; not satisfied with what has
been done He would discourage all our
efforts, aud make taxation weigh like q
useless burden on an anxious and sad
dened people. His policy would disor-
ganize the army, and realize his theology
by making hell on earth, laughter
without giving US the satisfaction of fu.
ture state, where Secession may have its
fit eternal doom. Laughter.

Democracy Necessary to Restoration
of the Union.

The confessions which are daily being
made to the potency Of Democratic pris
ciples are but a repetition Of history.
The political creed framed by Jefferson
and Madison, and defined and fulfilled by
subsequent Democratic statesmen, embod>
les the fundamental principles upon which
the Union was founded, and must be CO.
equal with the Government. A violation
of the Democratic faith is violation of
the spirit of the Constitution, and the
most sacred instincts of the people. A
departure from that faith engenders dis
cord, oppression taxation and dissolution.
The time has never been in the history of
the Government when permanent tri
umph of the opposition to Democracy
would not have engendered great trou
bles involving either separation. or on es-
sential change in the character of the
Government. We have been saved here
tofore from the evils of opposition tri-
umphs by the immediate revuisions in
popular sentiment We may be saved
this time from the disaster of Democrat
ie defeat by an equally thorough chaage
in popular sentiment. This, now, as in
times past, is the sole rational ground for
hope.-Milteaukee Netcs.

Love Wins Love.

s'Mother, the birds all love father, u
said little boy of Eve summers, as he
stood with his mother watchicg the rob-
ins. that were highly enjoying their meal
of cherries from the cid tree that over
hung the house.
Does anybody else love him, Charlie?
sOh. yes. love him, and you love him;
but we know more than the birds
sWhat do you think is the reason the
brides love your father?'
Charlie did not seem to hear this cues.
ton He was absorbed in deep thought
Mother at last he said, sall the crea.
lures love him My dog is almost as
glad to see him as he is me. Pussy, you
know, always comes to him, aud seems to
know exactly what he is saying Even
the old COW follows him all round the
meadow, and the other day I saw hes
licking his hand, just as dog would.
What can be the reason, mother?'
Think, Charlie; try and find ont q
reason, YOURSELF
Il think it is because father loves them,
mother. You know he will often get up
when he is tired, too, to give pussy some
thing to eat if she is hungry, and pulls
carrots for the cow to eat from his hand
and pats her, and talks to her; and some.
how I think he never talks so pleasant Of
when he talks to the creatures
i think his voice sounds pleasant wher
he is talking to his little boy
| Charlie smiled Father loves me, > hs
said, and l love him dearly. He loves
the birds. too. am sure He whistles te
them every morning when they are eating
cherries, and they are not bit afraid o
him, though be is almost near enough tt
catch them. They look at him with thei
funny little eyes, and chirp and eat away
just as if they knew he liked to see them
wish you could hear him whistle t,
the 6oboknks," as little Mary calls them
They come and sit down close by him
and sing SO loud. and make such funn,
noises. 1t always makes me laugh t,

"Do a. father does, Charlie, and the
will. Love oil living things, and be kim
to them. DO not speak roughly to tn
dog. Don't pull pussy's tail, nor chas
the hens, nor try to fiighten the COW

The Views of an Abolitionist.

VIM LLOYD GARRISON, the notorious
Abolitionist. lately deliversd lecture in
New Haven, Connecticut, which we and
noticed in the New Haven Register thus:
''Mr. Garrison lectured last evening" in
the same place, and very much the same
strain. He said the war was because of
the Republican party, the Republican
party because of Abolitionism; Aboli-
tionism because of Slavery; and that the
war would never end until the emancipa-
tion of the negro. He thought Ahoii
tionists the most loyal men in the coun
try, and Massachusetts, the best abolition
ized State in the Union; that it was a
mistake to suppose any portion of the
South to be loyal; that the whole of that
people were in rebellion, and it coald
never be put down, except by emancipa.
tion; that it is simply an impossibiiity to
fight the South back into the UHioD; that
Greeley, Cheever, and other emancipa-
tionists, were allowed to speak their SEN
timents in Washington. only because of
10000 Northern bayonets. He said
our forefathers were insane when they
made that covenant with death, and
league with hell'-the Constitution-snd
much more similar trash, to which only
limited number were listeners. He boast
ed that he delivered the 6rst Abolition
lecture in this city, thirty years ago, to
but few hearers-and took heart from the
great progress which had since been made
in Abolitionism, here and elsewhere. He
was, of course, applaudei in his remarks
by these who had procured his attend.
