WbECKING A CHURCH.

The late news from Florida, with other
atrocious facts, includes this-that certain
reeimonts from Maine sacked and ruined a
Catholic Church; and that some disturbance
ensued between the Maine troops and certain
Irish troops in Yankee service.
This brings into palmer light the false
position of those unfortunate Catholic Irish
men who have been deluded into fighting for
the worst enemies of their raco and faith
naxt to the English themselves. The Irish
solders ought to have expected this. The
Yankee country has, for many years, been
conspicuous for intolerance towards tho
Catholics. The burning of tho Convent near
Boston the wrecking of Newark Catholic
Church at Newark; the anti Catholic riots
aud msssacrea of Philadelphia; the outrages
done to harmless Catholic priest at Elmore,
in Maine, with hundred other examples OF
mob persecution, might have been fresh
enough in their remembrance They might
have bethought them, that in all these Con-
1u6IaLe SlAlSo LaSL0 AVfSA VoS SASN 49,
wrecked, nor Catholic Clergyman even In
suited. 1t was only when our country was
invaded by bIigands from the North thst
such soandalous and hideous outrage was
to BIO sesn upon our soil. Those Irish troops
may begin to fear they are in bad company
and to spprohcnd that if this war wero once
ended by the subjugation Of the South, their
turn would come next. We are sorry for
the people in Florida, whose church has been
ruined: but as for the Irish in tie Yankee
ranks who are scandhlEed by the transsc'
ton, we lave no pity or indignation 10 spare
in their behalf On the contrary, VIC exhor'
the Yankees to crush and trample them well
They will like it; they will fight for their
masters with no less goal and gallantry. They
have chosen their part, and We wish them
Joy OF their companions in arms.

Congress, must be governed by one of two
rules-apportionn,en or un:forD,;ty.'
Tho court decided that two rules were sppli
cable to specified cases-the latter to duties
impo,ts and trciss: the former to direct taxes
and adds: "If there be any other species o
taxes that nrs not direct, and not included
within tho words duties, fmposts and ezoiscs
they may be laid by the rule Of I'M fOrmit,
or not, "A Congress shall think proper and
reasonable. Ii the trainers of the Oonstitu.
ton did not contemplate other taxes than
direct taxes, and ..dutie., :mposts and ezctses
there is great inaccurscy in thsir lsngusgs.-'
II these four species of taxes were all thai
were modlsated, the general power to lay
taxss WAS unnecessary" Ag.in: ''Tho pow
OF, In the,sth section of tho first article, to lay
and COLLECT tarss. included power to lay
direct. taxes; whether cap!tGtion or any
othe,,) and slso dutass, :S:post, and erc'sss
and every othor species or kind Of tax what
soever, and called by sny other nAme."
1t ie, OF course, obviou. that the rulo O
superintendent being confined to direct taxes
by the express Language of thu Constitution
that rule does not apply 10 taxes Of ar
indirect sort.
Patterson, Justice, says: 'The term tax i
the genus. and includes:
l. Direct Taxes.
2. Duties, imposts and s1oises-
3. AL other classes of al indirect kind
and not within any of the classifcauons emu.
msrsted under the preceding heads
IredelI, Justice, italicises the word direct
thus:
/. All direct taxes must be spp ortioned.
.. All duties, imposts and excuses must b.
| uniform.
It is evident, therefore, that while thes'
rules may be proper aud judicious, socoTdint
to the subject matter, they are not Of nniysr
al application.
