HARD ON THE SOLDIERS.

EDITOR Argus AT our last town meeting,
John NJ. Wilson, the republican Candidate
for county judge. introduced the following
resolution. viz:
Resolved, That the town bonds OF of Coal VALLEY
town be exempt from for the year A. D.,
1865
When the above was introduced | think
there were about so or 60 men in the house
The vote was taken and some 10 or 10 voted
for it, and some or against it, as near as
| can judge.
The effect of this move of Wilson's was to
tax the little property of the poor soldiers
who had gone to the war, aud exempt from
taxation the rich mems money borrowed to
hire men to fill the places of those who staid
at home
If Wilson would vote TO tax the COW and
pig and other little property of the poor sol
dlers' widows, and exempt the money of the
rich. although it was drawing 10 per cent
interest, is he the right man to look out for
the interests of the widows and orphans. in
the probate court? In a contest betweeo
rich and influential men, on one side. and
widows and orphans, on the other, where
would he be found?
This is q matter of considerable Importance

VERMONT AGAINST THE PRESI-
DENT.

Gen. Henry Chase. the democratic repre-
sentative from the town of Lyndon, in the
Vermont Legislature. now in session, intro
duced in the legislature joint resolution
approving of Andrew Johnson's measures
aud administration. The Vermont Patriot
says:
The resolution was read, aud, rs the speak
er was about 20 put the question on it's edop-
ton on the part of the house, Mr.. Colby, a
colored man from Hsrtlsnd, arose and said ::
He, for one, was not prepared to endorse the
administration OF President Johnson at the
present. He wanted t. wait till he knew
"more about him lie therefore moved 70
clay the resolution on the table" which mo-
sion was agreed 10 by rery emphatic rote of
the black Republicans.
What does this mean? Are the ''trooly

In Michigan, 1.-THE constitution of which
state contains a similar article to the one We
have quoted from our constitution 1.-THE repub
licans, in the heat of party zeal, and 10 order
to make capital with the soldiers, attempted
such law, but republican supreme court
upheld the constitution and the law was of
no effect.
In Pennsylvania they enacted such a law.
but the supreme court decided against it, and
the constitution of that state we amended to
authorize it.
In New York they adopted the suggestion
of Gov. Seymour and amended their constitu-
ton so 20 admit of such a law.
We might give other evidences, but these
are enough. They show that the democrats
were always willing to favor such laws when
they could without doing violence to the con-
sttution and their oaths of Office. The sol
diers know this, and they know. too. that
they never found better friends than among
the democrats.
We submit this record to our readers aud
earnestly request for it the attention of the
soldier. We 1Orbear comment, being salts
fed that the intelligent soldier will not fail to
discover who are and have been his real
friends.
