QUESTION FOR TAX PAYERS. If Adolf

through extravaganza and swindling,
brought upon you an annual tax Of oae
hundred and fifty millions Of dollars, what
will that tax ID. before the Administration
goes out Of power? The national debt is
running w at the rate OF two rn'linns per
day. Millions Of dollars are s1randere,'
upon favoTitcS fol elcctipncering purposes,

ings Of the people. But What cares the
Administration, so lorg as it can rewar

THANKING Cop FOR OUR DEFEATS. -Ly.
man Trnmbull, the Republican Senator
from Illinois, few days before the cleo
ton made speech in Michigan, in which
he thanked God that the Federal arms
had been defeated at Bnll Run, and on
the Peninsula, and under Pope, for with
out such defeats we should not have hal
the Emancipation Proclamation Had
we won at Bull Run, or taken Richmond"
continued Trumbull, "the backbone of
the rebellion would have been broken,
and the Union would have been restored
with slavery remaining in it! Trum-
bull and his sort are not fighting to re,
store the Union, but to free tho slaves of
the South!

In addition TO the above, the State. that
are to elect will send a majority Of Dem
ocrats. 1t is more than probable, it is
certain, if the President adhrres to his
Negro Emancipation Proclamation, which
he, with Roman pluck, has announced his
determination to do, that California will
be represented in the next Congress by
three able, loyal, unyieding Democrats.
The victories achieved BY the Democracy
of the East have inspiritcd the Democracy
of California. and they have determined
to blot out the Abolition stigma that rests
upon her name. United, fearless and
hopeful, cheered by the smiles and the
example Of the Democracy Of the East,
and fighting in holy fighting for
the rights and liberties of deceived, be.
trayed and outraged people, they must be
invincible. Every day adds to their
strength, and before the election comes
off the opposition viii have dwindled into

A PREDIcTIoN.-On the morning after
the election the New York World said,
1.-THE great conservative reaction which
the October elections began, and yester-
days elections carried on so triumphant
ly, will reach its consummation on the
next Presidential election. Then the
honest unbought people, made wiser
by events, taught something of the&ind-
ly and conccding spirit in which alone
sister States can grow to common and
united greatness, admonished also of the
vigilance which must ever guard their
civil liberties, will hurl from power the
party which Knocked at the peril to that
greatness, invited calamity, and swore
to its high custody.

JEFFERsoN's CREED.-That no conf.
dence can DO placed in the Republican
PARTY for safe, lawful, conservative, con.
stitulional rule, is manifest from its
measures against loyal citizens and news
papers for alleged bissOyoty. SU prD|
visions Of the Constitution are more dis.
tinct and emphatic than those which
guarantee the freedom Of the press and
the exemption Of the citizen from arbitra.
ry arrest AID imprisonment, and no pre-.
vious attempt has been made to violate
them since the election Of jefferson.
That great statesman and illustrious pa
triot, in his first inaugural address, de-
clared that the arraignment e all
abuses at the bar Of public reason Grsr-
dom of religion, freedom Of the press, and
freedom Of person, under the protection
of the habeas corpus, and trial by juVies
impartiaily selected" were among tho
essentials Of our Government, and conse-
quently among those which ought to
shape lis administration" And speaking
further of the tue principles Of the Gov
eminent. Gncluding these just recitcd, }
he sail: These principles form the
bright constellation which has gone be-
fore us and guided our steps through an
age of revolution and reformation. The
wisdom Of our Sages and the bloo1 OF our
heroes have been devoted to their attain
ment; they should be the creed Of our
political faith, tho text of civic institu-
tons, the tombstone by which to try the
services Of those we trust, and should we
wander from them in moments of error
or alarm, let us hasten to retrace our
steps and regain the road which alone
leads to peace, liberty and safety"
These words Of wisdom, from the great
est Of our ateSmen, are recalled vt this
, time because they are rs appropriate now
as they were at the time when uttered
Then as now they were dSregarded by
the party in power, and then as now
citizens were called disloyal" and per-
secuted for opposing the Administration
