II You can stand This You can

After all, the lrishman was philosopher
who, as he was loading up his cart with
clay, and he threw into his cart shoyeltull
after shovelfull cried out to his horse, If
YOU can draw that you can draw this, un-
til he had so heavily laden the cart that the
horse could not bulge it. The men who
have ruled the country for the last four
years have adopted his policy of piling upon
the people taxes. They have said to them
selves, 'if the people can stand taxation to
keep in the field powerful army, they can
stand taxation to support shoddy contrac-
tors and spectators, and a swarm of new
petty officers to collect an Internal Revenue,
and if they can stand taxation for this pur-
pose, they can stand taxation to maintain
an aristocracy of bond holders and if they
can stand taxation for this purpose, they can
stand a militia communication tax, and II they
can stand this tax, they can stand tax to
pay big salaries to our State officials. -

OH Aleigh! EfO

Washington dispatches say that the es-
of a Bureau Of Pardons is re-
in order to relieve the Presi-
dent of the vast amount of labor accumu-
lating on his hands from the petitions pour
ing in on him for pardon from the South.
There is shorter and far better way of
relieving the President in that particular
Let him issue a general amnesty. That is
the short cut to general peace, as well as
general trade and commerce.
The Southern people acknowledge they
are subjugaged. They are prepared to say
that negro slavery is dead institution, how
ever disastrous it may be to the late owners
and the slaves themselves. Now, it is folly
to believe or contend, that the late convul-
sion has put the negroes above want without
labor, or that the people of the United
States are willing to be taxed for their
support, merely to demonstrate the po,cer
of the United States to put down rebellion.
That po,cer that put down the rebellion
is now in force, as potent as ever. 1t can
regulate contracts of marriage, as well as
contracts of trade and commerce. We
suppose it does so. 1.-THE military power
will be very different from former cases,
| if it allowed any thing TO pass its supervision
that did not bring money in its pocket -

A True Picture.

We shall not recover in this country, for
twenty-five years, says the n y. journal of
Commerce, from the evils brought upon Us
in the interests of despotism, by the Stan
tons, the Holts, and their radical allies. -
The very sense Of freedom has been blunted
in the popular mind, and the nation has
forgotten what was once the brthright OF
an American citizen. Free speech, free
discussion, in which once rested our liber
ties, have been wrested from our people so
long by the ovcrbcaring insolence of Office
holders and their supporters, that they are
scarcely priced as they once were. The
Tribune says that Secretary Stanton, seems
incapable of comprchcnding that this coun-
try has, or should have, any other law than
his arbitrary will No one doubts the
truth of this assertions; yet what effect
does 1t produce on the public mind? There
was day when the very fact that such an
assertion could be made at all, with even
the suspicion Of its possible truth, would
have aroused every city and village in the
land. Public meetings would have been
held at every ross-roadS. The indignant
heart of America would have sent the blood
to the cheeks Of very boys in the streets,
and voice of free nation would have been
heard asserting to the world the power of
its freedom. Now, you listen-you admit
and you sit down quietly and wonder how
long it will last

The Cattle Dis'cnnper.

The cattle distempcr sgrowing worse and
worse, and is now very alarming in Eng
land. The Liverpool Post says:
In Surry it broke out in dairy farm on
Saturday, and out of between thirty and
forty cows eleven were affected by Monday.
On the Essex marshes, out Of one herd
of one hundred grazing beasts five were lost
on Monday; and another lot of cows, seven
ty or eighty have been reduced to half their
original number in ten days. These out
breaks have all occurred where communi-
cation with imported stock is Of daily oc-
currence.
In Lambeth, a cowkeepcr purchased two
Dutch heifers about six weeks back, He
placed them with fourteen others. They
soon sickened, communicated the disease to
the fourteen others, and the whole lot had
eventually to be destroyed.
Since the 18th of June, dairyman in
Surrey purchased two foreign cows at the
cattle market When he took them home
he adopted the precaution Of isolating
them. Both died of plague, and his stock
of thirty cows was saved by the quarantine
he had instituted
1t is said the disease is reported to exist
at Portsmouth; the Midland Counties and
Dublin, but there is as yet no reliable infor'
nation on the subject.

Good Feelings.

We know of blunt old fellow in the
State of Maine, who sometimes hits the nail
on the head more pat than the philosopher.
He once heard man much praised for his
''qood feelings" Every body joined and
said the man was possessed of excellent feel
ings. =,
T'What has he done ?" asked the old
genius.
'He is possessed of the most benevolent
feelings, was the reply.
What has he done?" cri,d the old fel
low again.
By this time the company thought it nee
essary to show some of his favorite doings.
They began to cast about in their minds, but
the old man still shouted, what has he
dones' They owned they could name
nothing in particular.
"Yes," answered the cynic,. ''you say he
is man who has good feelings. Now
gentlemen, let me tell you that there are
people in this world who get good name
simply on account of their feelings. Yo'
cant tell one generous act that they eve
performed in their lives, but'they can lool

ALL READY FOR A DUEL.

Our regiment was stationed at Morgan
Ford. Our Colonel had been shot by an
Indian guerrilla, and out Lieutenant Colonel
had gone home sick, 50 the command dcvol-
we'd upon our Major, whose name was Far
well. He was middle aged, dashng tel.
low, given to social enjoyment; on good
terms with himself and, as general thing,
keeping on pretty good terms with those
about him. He was naturally free AMI easy;
a fine soldier and a strict dicipinarian. He
was kind. hearted, generous man though
troubled with temper that led him into
error at times.
Major Farwell had been in command but
few weeks, when he concluded to send for
his wife to come and stop with him through
the Summer. He had comfortable. quar-
tcrs, and there was little danger that the
Indians would make another attack.

Mrs. Farwell arrived but returned on the

casion The staff and line officers, not kept
away on duty, were all present, and JOY and
merriment ruled the hour.
