EQUAL AND EXACT JUSTICE.

We demand equal and exact Justice
nothing more nor less. In the name Of
the law We demand the punishment OF
every man who shall violate the lightest Of
it's provisions. In tho name Of the Con-
stitution We demand for every man who
pleads its provisions the full measure Of
protection to which he is entitled. We
are not without its sacred pale u It'll by
solemn act We place ourselves without. -.
To the meahest and the noblest, the hum
best Or the highest. every letter is a de-
tense. every clause a barrier. We know
our duty. and we endeavor to fulfil it,.
We know our responsibility. aud We do
not shrink from it. We know, too, AZ
we'll what is due from ruler to ruled ~
what was yielded BY ruled to ruler We
want eqnal and exact justice shown by
each to othcr-that, aud that only. is the
burden Of our cry.
Marius, the dictator. when granting a
petition contrary to law. said that civil
enactments. spoke too softly to be heard
amid the din of arms" That was an ex.
cusc--valid for an usurper. but not for the
constitutional head Of free people. The
din Of arms. if it outweigh the voice Of the
law, sileuces the voice of the people. The
voice Of The people--long silent. is drown
ed by the voice Of the usurper. We ask
OF our rulers If there be one single provi-
sion in the charter Of our liberties incom-
patible With the safety of the nation in time

Does the administration want evidences

The invasion Of Maryland has been
the greatest blunder the rebels have vet
committed The act has DESTROYED
three-iourihs Of their strength They
expected that City thousand of the Ma
rylanders would join them, bat only
fourteen ragamufiins did SO. Nor is this
ALI Maryland now utterly detests the
Coniedesstes Had they invaded that
State one year ago, they had succeeded
in realizing all iheir expectations, for it
was then bitterly impregnated with trea-
son. tits now loyal. The change has
been brought about by several causes:
the calming down Of very irrational
hatred for the integrity Of the Union: the
clear perception that the rebels had the
weaker side; the knowledge that Eastern
Virginia has suffered a desolation from
which it Wlll not recover Cor hundred
years; the attitude Of Fort McHenrv in
the teeth of Baltimore, the presence
Of Uncle Sans troops in several
parts of the State and the fact that
the farmers and merchants have been
enriched by the war these causes have
made Maryland unwilling to be inva-
ded by the rebel troops, and they made
it greet Lee and Jackson with curses,
and to halloo them beyond its boundary,
with execrations that they may never
come back. 1t is no wonder that such
causes have made Maryland loyal. I'm
fortunate Virginia. How blind Il was to
join the gonfederacy! BY that insensate
act, il made itself the scene Of the war,
and saved the fields of South Carolina

The following opinion on the duration
IF the Internal Revenue Act is important.
TREAsunY DEpAnFlLENr. }

TREAsUBY DEPARTMENT,
SoLIGToRs 6FTIoE, Oct ], lS62S
SIR; The opinion expressed by me
upon the practical questions submitted
by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
in his letter dated Aug. s, 1862, resulted
from the assumption that Congress in
tended to subject to duty articles remov-
ed from the place Of manufacturers con-
SUMPTION, or for delivery to others than
agents OF the manufacturer or producer
within the United States on Territories
thereof, aftev the LIST Of September, ire
spective Of the time when the articles
were produced; that, as 10 such articles,
the circumstance most prominent in the
consideration OF The Legislature was the
removal for consumption or delivery and
that, therefore, the purpose was to tax
all articles remaining within the owner
ship of the producer, and substantially
in the condition in which they were
when produced.
This view, Of course, rendered ID ne
cossarv to hold that by removal from the
place Of maDufacture something was in
tended which should work a substantial
change in the condition of the articles
removed. ! am Of opinion that the view
thus taken is the one most consistent
with the terms aud arrangement of the
various provisions contained in the 10Th
section Of the act but ] am assured by
members of Congress Of high intelligence,
who, from the part they took in the iegis-
lation in question, must be thoroughly
informed upon the subject that such was
not the actual intention Of the Legislature;
and the published debates to which
have been referred, and which ] have
examined, fully confirm their state
ments.
/ am now entirely satisfied that the
general purpose Of Congress was 10 tax
only articles produced after the LIST OF
September; and that the special object
I Of the last clause Of the seventy ltll
! section Of the excise law was TO provide
a means OF readily distinguishing be-
tween articles produced before and those
/ produced after that date; aud that, "a
avoid all dispute as TO the date Of pro-
duction, il was provided, in elect thai
articles which should be permitted q
remain in the place OF manufacture on

alierward, thus placing it within the
option Of the producer 10 have articles

withstood the combined assault Of two
rebel army corps under Hardee and Polk,
and there was very hard fighting done.
Rousseau's division covered itself with
fresh laurels and contested every inch
manfully. Unfortunately, Gen. Jack
