On the subject OF taxation q great clamor
may be expected from the partisans who
assisted ia the measure which undoubtedly
produced the war. Coolly iorgetful that
the slightest exhibition of courage or fore
sight ON their part, or on the part of their
President James Buchanan, would have
arrested the preparation of the Secession
lists, they have already seized upon the tax
bill, which is in fact consequence Of their
own completely with the StcesSonists, or
rather a result of their submission to these
traitors, in order, if possible, still further
to damage the loyal Sta,es and to give
new iicenSe and future forgiveness to the
| rebel chiefs 1t was well said, by one who
has reflected deeply on this subject, that If
! the rebels had net been driven buck by the
forces of the General Government, raised
at an expense which these taxes are to
] liuuidate, they would have invaded the free
| States, according to their repeated declara'
! tions, aud in few short days would have
Inflicted such injury upon property and
persons in that section Of the Union, as
thousands Of millions of dollars would not
have repaired in century Of time. One

fnng these murdercrs of Liberty within

the loyal people for the great acts OF pro
lection aud punishment reSorIed to by Pre-
