The wIiIfuIness OF Fanaticism.

The people in all ages have been fighting the
assumptions of superiority and right to rule in
matters of politics, morality, and religion. The
struggle for freedom of personal action, so far as
consistent with the rights of others, and freedom
of conscience, has made many battle fields as
the love Of power and conquest. And it would
would seem that the war was never to end. 1t
is true that as contest after contest has achieved
guaranteed rights for the people, and civilization
and enlightenment followed in their train, we in
this country have lain down the sworn and rested
these rights in the guarantees of the Constitution
But the same spirit is incident to human nature,
and when organized into fanatical majority il
uses its power in the form of law as tyranically
and as vindictiyely as if it rested its claim in
pretended divine right and divine commissions.
Hence we have had prescriptions for places of
birth, prescriptions for religious belief, and pro-
scriptiOns for individual opinions and actions.
Hence we have had of late years Know Nothing-
ism AbOlitionism, and Maine elawism.
Organized fanatical majOrities the worst
tyrants of the whole brood. Processing to be
laboring for the good of mankind, their conceited
judgment points the way and their power applies
the coercion. They never learn anything or for
get anything. When they see in the long cata-
logue of the past not only the utter failure OF
their system to accomplish any good, but its alb
sOlute and palpable results as nothing but evil
cism, they seize the same weapons to force upon
others the dOgmas of their own opinions. The
South, they say, must and shall believe and act
upon the subject of slavery we do. The
whole people shall take their morals upon the
temperance question from our dictatiOn. There
fore, we, the self-constituted possessors of all
public morality, by the power of the State which
we have been able to grasp, proclaim that every
body else shall do as we profess to do, and to
this end ali personal rights, and all rights Of
property or liberty. inconsistent with our pur-
pose, are hereby abolished.
The last measures of these organized fanatics
is from the Legislature of Iowa. That august
assemblage, we understand, at its last session,
passed extremely pronibitory liquor law. Be
sides imposing the severest penalties for viola
tons Of the law, it provides that any person may
give information where liquors are known or sus-
pected to be kept, on which information search
warrant is obliged to be issued, and no change oI
venue is allowed to the accused. no matter be
fore what court he may be brought on the com.
plaint. The selling OF alcoholic liquors is made
penitentiary offense.
That enactment is after the genuine pattern.-

The Van Burens.

The New York correspondent of the Syracuse
New York; Courier writes as follows:
"The correspondence recently published, which
shows how ex President Pierce fell under grave
suspicious of disloyalty at the hands OF Seward
and Hunter, of the State De- s-tment, reminds
me of the fact which am at liberty to commu-
ncate through your columns, if you do not fear
yourself TO publish it. 1t is that ex- President
Martin Van Buren and his talented son John have
both been under the strict watch and surveillance
of Government for nearly year pastl My in
formation is well founded, and | challenge an Of
fetal denial. Night and day, in town and i'm
country, both these eminent gentlemen have been
watched, followed. spied and dogged by the Gov
ernment police, under suspicion of sympathizing
with secessonists! 80 that Mr.. Fillmore is the
only ex-President after all in whose absolute
loyalty Mr.. Seward has thought it safe to con-
fde. Mr.. Fillmore is the loyal ex-PTeSident."
There is no doubt that this statement as to the
Van Burens is true. Not only they, but large
proportion of the prominent Democrats Of New
York have also been watched, followed, spied
and dogged" by Stewards secret banditti. If the
complete history of the political and money ope-
ratiOns of some of the principal members of Lin
coins Cabinet is ever written, the world will
have reason to wonder that officers of the Amer
ican Government dared to inaugurate, or that
free people endured, system of tyranny and cor
ruption without parallel for enormity in the story
of nations MilIoaukee NeIoS.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, MONDAY, APRIL %, 1862.

sefwith the naval and military gentlemen imme-
diately interested stepped on board. The active
little craft ran down by the mortar fleet, Captain
Myndiers giving his orders to the several NOR
tiers as she passed the boats, and then she headed
for the opposite shore, the pilot having orders to
place her directly opposite the bend. As she
passed it (the bend) the bluffs lifted to view and
when we reached the middle of the river the up
per rebel battery was to be seen distinctly with
the naked ere. The tug headed up stream and
kept steady while the officers swept the hill with
their glasses Presently the signal was given to
the first mortar boat TO open fire. A volume of
smoke rose slowly up. heavy roar so loud that
l have not language to describe it succeeded and
this was followed by rumblihg as of distant
thunder as the shell sped through the air These
immense shells do not scream or screech in their
progress as lesser missiles do-they rumble and
reverberate almost beating nature in their im-
tation of thunder Every eye was strained to
note the effect of the shot. Moments elapsed,
the thunder rolling on and on, when small
white cloud was seen Immediately above the cliff
which sent back a sound like a twenty-four
FOUNDER. The shell had burst--the range was
right. Another and another succeeded in rapid
succession from the other boats, followed and
mixing up the thunder in such confusion that
earth and water seemed to quake. They all had
range. The rebel gunboats below steamed up to
get out OF the way, for we could see The black
smoke from their stacks getting blacker and sway
ing in large clouds above them. The reconnois-
sance was over--the fight was opened and Capt.
Mynders gave orders to run for the mortar boats.
The rebel batteries were slow to respond. but
when they did open they kept up the fire briskly
and with their heaviest guns. Their shells most
ly burst in the woods on the promontory and
their solid shot went clear over the mortar boats.
The boats were hid from their view by the timber
and they aimed tor the smoke of the guns as it
rose above the trees. In half an hour the fight
was hot and the constant roar of such heavy ar
tillery was deaiening. The rebels evidently have
some fine guns in position and of heavy caliber.
A one hundred and twenty pound shot struck
within few feet of the CarOndOlet, dashing the
water over Mr. Fishback of the ST. Louis Demo
crat, as he sood, one of the group on her deck.
The sight was grand. The decks of all the yes
sells were crowded with spectators and the pano-
OF the broad bay with its infinite variety of
craft and the many thousands witnesses was
exceedingly beautiful, if such word can be ap-
propriately used amidst such stormy cannon
ade. For two hours the mortar boats Numbered
and the rebels replied, when orders were given to
throw our shell every fifteen minutes and keep it
up at that.
The trip to the feet paid well if only to witness
the bombardment of few hours which have so
feebly described B.

wbat Taxatiou win DO.

According TO statistical calculations furnished
by the Boston Chamber of Commerce, the aggre-
gate value of the productions of the country
amounts to the sum of two thousand millions Of
dollars. At the close of the war the interest on
our debt may be estimated as being likely to
amount to one hundred millions. Then it may
be calculated that another hundred millions will
be necessary to meet the annual expenditures of
the Government. Consequently, two hundred
millions will have to be raised by taxation to meet
the interest of the debt, and for the support of
Government. This will amount to ten per cent.
on the above aggregate value of the national
wealth. This amount of taxation will be de-
rived from labor and land-the two elements
which are the sources Of all national wealth, and
by which the chief weight of taxation will have
to be borne.
We arrive by the above data at the following
general conclusons:-First, that the value of
fancy city property in all the great cities will be
reduced about fifty per cent; all other property,
ten or twenty per cent Labor will have to pay
of the tax an amount equal to ten cents the
dollar, ten per cent. In the mean time, Gov
ernment securities will rise in few years from
ninety-one to a hundred and twenty five, accord
ing to circumstances. There will be trying and
almost revolutionary times in all financial mat
tiers; and no wonder-N. Y Herald

The Arrivals OF Negroes from the
South.


So long as the loyal people Of the North
know only by hearsay of the liberation of slaves
at the South as a consequence of the advance of
our armies, they care little about il. Most prob
ably a large majority would say that men who
take up arms against their country deserve 20
lose their negroes. So should we say If the rebel
masters we're likely to be the only sufferers But
the question is of vastly more Importance.
1t is not the rebel masters who are only, or even
mainly, interested in this question. Undoubtedly
these persons could manage to live without their
negroes, but could zoe live tcith them? That, we
take it, is the question which most pertinently
interests the people of the North, and especially
the border States of the North, like Indiana aud
Illinois.
A few scores of liberated negroes from Vir-
ginia recently arrived in Philadelphia, ard al
though the number was entirely Insignificant, vet
it has alarmed the people OF two States, Pennsyl-
vania and New jersey. Petitions have been pre-
sented and resolutions introduced into the Legis-
latures of these States having for their object the
prohibition of the further immigration of this
class of persons. What action will be taken
the subject we do not know. Probably nothing
definite will be done at present. The danger is
not sufficiently imminent, and the public mind is
too much engrossed about the suppression of the
rebellion, to cause Legislators to look at remote
consequences of present action. But that alarm
is felt is sufficiently evident.
If Pennsylvania and New Jersey begin to feel
uneasy on this subject, have not the Western
border States still more cause for uneasness? A
mighty Union army is about to penetrate the
most densely negro populated States of the
Union, and if the policy of liberating the slaves
is to be adopted, it is easy to perceive that the
effects will soon be seen and felt here The ne
groeS, they freed, will naturally make for
the North, the land whence their liberators come,
and where slavery is unknown. 1t is true we
have laws against the immigration of colOred
persons, but of what avail will laws be in such a
case as this! None at all. They could not be
enforced, and perhaps under such circumstances
it would be inhuman to attempt it.-N.A-LcdgeT

Organize! Organize!

1t is a gratifying feature to observe that the
Democracy throughout the country are already
organizing themselves preparatory for the fall
campaign 1t is quite eviden. that the time is
approaching when every conservative man in the
country must take stand against the tide of ia
naticism that now threatens TO sweep over the
land, obliterating constitutions and laws, and
breaking down all legal and social barriers that
have been erected as a dividing line between a
superior and an inferior race. Those who are for
the old Union as it was, and desire the Constitu-
ton preserved and its most sacred provisions
obeyed, must array themselves under the banner
of Democracy, now-as in times past the only
aw-abiding and constitutional party-the only
organization that offers barrier TO the wild tide
of fanaticsm that now threatens to engulf us in
common ruin and degrade the white man to the
level of the negro. Those who let the preiu-
dices of party names deter them from putting
their shoulder to the wheel in this their countrys
hour of peril, can only blame themselves in fu-
ture time for the ruin and calamity that will en-
compass them.-SheLbyuiHe Volunteer.
