Then aud NOW.

A contemporary remarks that it is worthy
of note that all the cruel. barbarous and
vindictiVe measures Of this Administration
have been originated by the meek-eysd,
silver-tongued, gentle hearted philanthrO-
pists of other days by men who have
sbuddered at the idea Of hanging a muir
dsrer, fogging a negro. or going to war to
vindicate our national rights or honor.
These sans philanthropists now witness
unmOved, with silent tongue and stony
hearts. white men manacled and driven at
the point of the bayonet into the army
Had they witnessed anything of the kind
during the war with Mexico, how the
cOwardly scoundrels would have buried
their curses upon the Administration.
These men have dug graves of hundreds
Of thousands of American citizens, and are
now loudly calling for more blood. And
they are backed in every city and town by
psnsioned miscreants, some Of whom, unfor
tunately for the country, are in high oficiaI
positions and at the head of Influential
journals.

Mr.. Grimes did not desire that colored

The True Theory of Taxation

II nc rue hcOAJ %
We have always contended that the true
theory of tsxatioD, the only just and DEM
ocratic mode of raising revenue for the
Government and the one which, we trust,
the people will some day insist upon adopt
ing, is that Of direct taxation.
The system of raising revenue by tariffs,
by income tax, by licenses, by stamp
duties, bears unequally upon the people
Raising our revenue in this manner tends
to place the load, in an undue degree, upon
the shoulders Of the poor.
We know men worth their hundreds of
thousands who pay no more tax to support
the Government than the man who has to
depend upon his daily labor for a liveli-
hood. The present internal revenue tax
system falls almost exclusively upon the
laboripg men of the country.
The truth is the system of taxation from
which we now derive the resources of our
Government is in utter opposition to the
maxim upon which it is formed.
Tie institutions upon which our Govern
ment is built profess the utmost confidence
in the integrity aud intelligence Of the
people, but cur present mode of c.llectiDg
the national revenue botrays distrust
both Of their scgacity and virtRe. The men
who now make our laws and govern US,
either fear that the people have not sense
to see that the expenses of the government
must be betrayed by them, or that they
have not honesty and patriotism enough tc
pay them if directly applied to for thai
purpose ard hence we see them set abou
by various modes Of indirection, to 6lct
the money from their pockets in such I
manner that they may neither know how
much they contribute, nor the presist
purpose to which it is applied.
We do not believe a system could b
better devised than the present one to en-
courage lavish expenditure and introduce
variety os corruption. If the people knew
how much they were paying, we opins
that change Of prosrsmme would sOor
be introduced. 1t our revenue was collected
from direct tax upon property, instead o.
a system of indirect leviss, the war fol
freeing the negroes would soon by brOugh
to a close.
We trust that the people will elect {
Congress this year that will adopt the trul
system for raising, revenue. Let our far
mers aud property holders be taxed il
proportion to their wealth, and we believ,
it would not be long before the Govern
ment would DO placed in different hands
The landholders and rich men should b.
made to bear the expenses Of Government
in proportion to their means.
The present system Of raising revenue
is not only calculated to encourage fraud
and populations and lavish expenditures
but to proloug the present appalling ciVi
war

The editor of the Muscatine Courier |
reads the loyal lesguers thereabouts lee
ture for their apathy about volunteering.
| And the remarks of our lows contemporary
applies with equal force IN other localities.
The fact is, as we firmly believe, not
single loyal Lacquer has enlisted in this
county since the Presidents last call for
300, 000men.
The loyal lenguers, as a general thing.
dodge behind counters, hide behind mail
bags. get metemOrphised into enrolling
clerks or assistant comuissaries, or are do
ing anything except enIi-ting.
The Democrats. on the other hand,
though they do not believe 10 the policy CO
which the war is being carried on, are en-
deayOring to fill our quota by volunteering.
1t is notorious that four fifths Of the en-
listments of the county since the last call,
were men who have been Chased as Cop
perheads and traitors" Yes, the men who
have been thus denounced are coming for
ward and doning the habilismen,s of war,
while the loyel league Abolitionists are
skuiking as far away from the recruiting
effices as they possibly can get.
Now, this is decidedly unfair. The 10y.
al leaguers would not let Mr. Lincoln rest
until be declared his intention to carry on
the war for the purpose of giving freedom
to the Southern negroes, but when he asks
: them for help to do this great and danger
Gus work, they are the last men to put
themselves in the range of rebel bullets.
The duty Of the secret loyal league So
, ciety seems to be, if We would judge from
the acts Of the members of that orgsniza
! ton, to be to stay at home aud vote for the
war and against compromise and peace or
any terms, aud to keep the present cOrrup
t dynasty in power.
{ Now If every conservative man and Dem
ocrat felt as we do on the subject, thes'
a loyal lsaguers. who are so clamerous fo
' blood and who believe in carrying on tb'
g war until slavery be destroyed and every
negro turned loose to overWhelm the coun
Q try with their presence, would have to d.
: their share Of the lighting.
The men who now hide themselves il
the dark and hidden folds of the loya
league organization, we're the principal or
D iginators Of the war. We insist that thos
i men must either enlist themselves, or ceas
t stigmatizing those who do enlist As Cop
r perheads and traitors. They boast of thei
t loyalty and patriotism, but their loyalt

The CondItlons.

An. eastern paper states the truth in
regsrd to the actual position taken By the
President in bis late amnesty proclama
ton. Nor can the best friend Of the
President deny that this manner of state.
ing bis real position is literally correct.
Add being true, in what light does It ex-
hibit Abraham Lincoln aud those who
follow him2
If we can understand what the Presi-
dert, in his message and proclamation,
is driving at. il is to prevent any restora-
lion of the Union until he has gotten rid
of slavery in the States where it exists
According to Republican authority, the
rebellion is almost subdued; We have but
30 fight earnestly little longer. and the
old Gag will wave from the capital of every
State, and the constitution will be the su-
preme law of the whole land.
But this, says Mr.. Linccln. will not do
"I must make a new condition Of reunion
Loyalty isn't precisely what is wanted
All these rebels have been guilty Of a
crime, and l will punish them ell q,
traitors unless they will agree under oatl
to give up their property"
This is the proclamation. 1t lie to repres
the Union sentiment in the South-to pre-
vent the Southern States from returning
to the Union. II is precisely as though
President should issue a proclamation de
elaring all the manufacturing property Q
the Nyrth confsca.ed, and holding all tn
inhabitants as criminals until oue.tent
of then, sha i end, his proposition.
