The shoddy Convention.

The New York Tribune is disgusted with
the Baltimore Convention. WILKINSON, its
Washington editor, writes its history in
terms of contempt. Hear him:
1t is a history in part of the admission
into the Convention as States, and into the
Federal Union as States, of Arkansas, whel G
under Banks we have been whipped not
only out of our boots, but out of our actual
political possession of the soil sufficient 10
elect a hog-reeve-of Louisiana, where We
have political possession just so far as our
30-pounder Parrott guns will shoot, and
not one inch further-of Tennessee, where
we have Jurisdiction and political grip just
as fishermen In Fundy have foothold be-
tween the ebb and flood of the tide, and not
one inch more-of Nevada, Colorado, Ne
braska, scarcely fledged Territories, in
whose behalf when knocking at the Elec-
toral College and elbowing older Massachu-
setts and old New York in their hot hunger
and thirst after the rewards of politics, not
one word could be invented for public
avowal, save that their admission to the
Convention would help three several
schemes to bring them into the Union as
States n do not care now to write the
history of this new chapter in American
politics. 1t can bide its time.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-06-13

England has heretofore had the reputa-
tion of befhg the "best taxed country In
the world but the United States, since the
passage Of the tax law by Congress, win be
entitled to sympathy because Of Its people
being more thoroughly taxed than any
other country under the sun. SIDNEY SMITH,
the clerical humorist, said of the British
taxation, that there were
Taxes upon every article which enters
into the mouth, or covers the back, or Is
placed under the foot; taxes upon every
thing which it Is pleasant to see, hear, feel,
smell or taste; taxes upon warmth, light and
locomotion; taxes on everything on earth,
and the waters under the earth; on every
thing that comes from abroad, or Is grown
at home; taxes on the raw material; taxes
on every fresh value that is added to 1t by
| the industry of man; taxes on the sauce
which pampers man sappetite and the drug
that restores him to health; on the ermine
which decorates the judge. and the rope
which hangs the criminal; on the poor mans
salt, and the rich mans spice; the brass nails
of the coffin and the ribbons of the bride;
at bed or beard, couchant or levant, we must
pay. The school boy whips his taxed top,

with a taxed bride on a taxed road; and
the dying Englishman, pouring his medi-
cine which has paid Z per cent. into a. spoon
that has paid 10 per cent, filings himself
back upon his chiutz bed which has paid "
per cent, and expires in the arms of an
apothecary who has paid a license of fl0O
for the privilege of putting him to death.
His whole property is then Immediately
taxed from 2 to 10 per cent. Besides the
probate, large fees are demanded for bury
ing him in the chancel; his virtues are
handed down to posterity on taxed marble;
and he is then gathered to his fathers, to be
taxed no more"
Yet in that fearful catalogue there is no
mention of there being taxes on books
Congress has added to the list by fixing a
tax of five per cent. upon books, in addi-
tion to three per cent. upon the paper on
which they are printed. No other country
but the United States, and that under the
rule of philanthropy and "moral IDEAS"
levies direct tax upon knowledge. If this
country does not retrograde into igno-
rance and barbarism in the course of years,
! it will not be the fault of modern philan-
1 thropy and loyalty.
