The Music Now TO BE PAID FoR.-
The Taxpayers of this State, and we pre-
sumo elsewhere, are being informed Of the
expensive luxury OF republican admin
islration in manner they will not soon
forget. Much of this costly experience
was withheld from them previous TO the
election for fear it might impair the
chances of Mr. Lincoln's reelection. But
the law has to be enforced upon republi-
can taxpayers as we'll as upon democrats.
The five per cent income tax, provided for
by last Congress, and duo in October,
was not enforced in many parts of the
State.1 If it had been, the republican
majority Of 5000 on the home vote wo'd
have been Whitfield down not inconsidera-
bly,. Since election notices to pay the
ssme, datedin October, have been served.
Having voted, the large rebupiican ma
jority ih this State can NOW have the
exquisite felicity of paying their tax dues.
Those who indulge in the delights that
Terpsichore affords, must expect 10 pay
him who affords the music.--Detroit

The Milwaukee, Nevs says: The
famous victory" Of Lincoln has inspired
reverend politicians with new courage,
and partisan speeches are likely hereafter
TO flow freely from church pulpits.
There is no statute law against politi-
cal preaching on the Sabbath, and how
ever detrimental the practice, mono have
right to interfere except those directly
interested. If he can get any. one TO
hear and pay him, preacher may preach
anything be pleases, according rs bis con-
science, his prejudicesf his ignorance or
the size Of bis salary may dictate. .
Clergymen, however,, like allAother
professional men, are undefscertain obi
cations to the public. They have no
moral right appear before an audience
under false pretences. If their religions
creed embraces a party platform, and if
they are to regale their hearess weekly
with rehash Of musty partisan edito-
rials, they should advertise themselves
accordingly. Ifthe reverend Mr.. So-and-
So designs to indulge in .hnked sweet-
ness long drawn out" over the transcend
ant virtues of Abraham Lincoln, or the
martyrdom Of the holy John Brown, il
would bc unseenIy for him to seduce peo-
pie to be present under theimprsssion that
he was to preach Christ and him crqci6ed.
No man can bojusti6ed in abusing his
right by practising an imposition.
I Political preaching is a public disease
which will doubtless heal itself in due
season. Probably nothing would aston
ish or annoy a partisan preacher SO much
as to know that all The brethren of the
clerical profession had adopted his theory
of clergyman's duty. "A democratic
church, an abolition church, and an old
line whig cburch--all in full blaze upon
the same street--wonld bring the whole
business into ridicule within less than
three weeks. Yet this is precisely the
order Of things our. partisan parsons are
laboring to establish, and the practical re-
suit of their conduct is separate relig-
ious organization for every political party
and partisan faction in the land. 4

Tho New HsmpsIiSe' Ps,sot is not
amoug those who believe that the work
of'pemocrats ended with the closing Of
the polls on the eighth Of December.---
The duty of every democrgt--well says
the Patriot--is as plain to-day, ip defeat,
as it was before theelection. That duty
is 70 stand firmly by their principles, by
their, patriotic convictions, and their time
honored organizations. From the manly
and steadfast performance Of their duty
they will not be swcrved either by the
threats or persausions of theF political
enemies. Time will provo the policy as
q well as ahe justice Of this course. The
policy Of the administration is just as OBJ
noxious to them as heretofore, and its in
4 seyitablo iepdency just as fatal to the well
4 fare'of the country aud the rights and
interests of our fellow citizens. 1t is just
as important to them, and to the country,
that this policy should be abandoned; |;
and for that end it is still the duty aud
interest alike for us all to labor. The
verdict of the balot-box can be reversed
in due time; the delusious, under which
thousands Of honest voters have acted,
will be removed by the tide of events,
aud the course of tho democracy will yet
be vindicated by the sober second thought
ola suffering andioutraged people. When
this time conies,' il is the democratic par.
ty that will bo required to save from ut
Ter ruin whatever is to bo saved of per-
sonal or national value. That old party
has ever proved true to it's mission and it
must and il will not now despair of The re-
public Its organization must be preserv-
ed, its camp fires must be kept burning,
lis sentinels must stand watchful at their
posts, and its gallant army must still
present a, bold and defiant front to the
enemy. mo other course is consistent
with honor patriotism or sclfintefest;
and this course we trust The democrats of
Michigan viii unfalteringly pursue.
