MORE REpuDIArIoS.-We give another
reputation of that villainous fabrication, the
manifesto against Col Hills. This gallant
citizen and officer has been thoroughly vindi-
Gated by those whose forged names were
given as traducing him, and this little bit
butternut by play has served only to illus
trate Copprehead meanness, and fall in just
exposure and rebuke upon those who con-
cocted the execrable scheme:

lishcd by Judge Clagett-making an attack
upon Col. Hills, 18th regiment Iowa infantry,

to that regiment, and among the number was
my name. Now, / wish to inform the public
that my name was attached to that letter
without my knowledge or consent, and
would thank gentlemen, hereafter. not 10
use my name so freely, or they may hear from
me in some other manner. So far - the
Charleston Convention is concerned, vas
not there, being down the river At the time

SECURITY OF THE PUBLIC DEhT,

Our debt Is doubly secnre-hrst In
the actual wealth and still greater un-
developed resources Of the country; and
next In the character of our institutions.
The most Intelligent observers among
political economists have not failed TO
remark, that the public debt of the
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1865-12-07

country is safe in proportion as its pee
pie are free; that the debt of a republic
II the safest of all. Our history con-
firms and establishes the theory, and is,
hFmly believe. destined to give il n
still more signal illustration. The se-
cret of this superiority springs not
merely from the fact that in republic
the national obligations are distributed
moro widely through countless num-
bers in all classes OF society; it has its
root in the character OF our laws.
Here all mon contribute to the public
welfare, and bear their fair share of the
public burdens. During the war, un-
der impulses of patriotism, the mon of
the great body of the people, without
regard to their own comparative want of
wealth, thronged to our armies and
filled our fleets of war, and held them
selves ready to offer their lives, for the
public good. Now, in their turn, the
property and income of the country
should bear their just proportion of tho
burden OF taxation, while in our i'm
post system, through means Of which
increased vitality Is incidentally im-
parted to all the industrial interests oil
the nation, the duties should he SO nd
justed as to fall most heavily on articles
Of luxury, leaving the necessaries OF
NE as free from taxation as the nbso-
lutte wants of the Government, econoIn-
1eaIly administered, will Justify. M
favored class should demand freedom
from assessment, and the taxes should
ESQ dtstri buted us not to fall unduly
on, the poor, but rather on the aCcuniu-
iatted wealth OF the country. We should
not as a national blessing, but as a
heavy burden on the industry of the
country, to be discharged without un-
necessary delay. /

I know very well that this policy is
attended with some risk; that for its
success it requires at least the acquieS=
cence of the States which It concerns;
that it implies an invitation TO those
states, by renewing their allegiance to
the Omitted States, to resume their func-
tions as States of the Union.1 But it is
risk that must he taken; in the choice
