FOUNDER, Thos. Jefferson;
Equal and exact justice to all mon, Of
whatever state or persuasion, religious or

friendship with all nations, eatangling al

the most competent administrations for
Cur domestic concerns, and the safest bull
warks against anti-repuhlican tendencies;
the preservation Of the General Govern
ment in its whole constitutional vigor, as
the sheeranchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad u jealous care Of the right
of election By the people ; q mild and safe
corrective of abuses, which are Topped by
the sword Of revolution where peaeeable
remedies arc unproyided absolute acqlli-
escence in the decisions Of the majority,
the vital principle Of republics, from
which there is 40 appeal but to force, the
vital principle and Immediate parent Of
despotism; vell-discipliued militia, our
best reliance in peace, and for the first
movements in war, till regulars may re-
heve them the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority; economy in
the public explnse, that labor may be
lightly burdened; the honest payment If
our debts, and scred preservation of the
public faith; encouragement of agrical-
ture, and of commerce, as it handmade !;

E1EcTIoSEER1Ne n KENTUcKY.-An Owen
sounty correspondent Of the Louisville Demo
aat thus describes the mode of eIecdoneer-
lrg practiced by the Aboiitionists in Ken

Gen. Rousseau and others are canvassing
the district as candidates for Congress. Gen.
eral Rousseau carries with him, wherever he
goes, forty United States soldiers as q body
guard. He stops at any house he chooses
which is always the house Of an opponenet,
and there quarters his soldiers without ask
ing leave. First, it looks rather farcical to
- a man protected by a body of soldiers

oaking. Second, it is d considerable AZ,

TaNcs-sWhO Pay Them.

The Internal Revenue derived from direct
taxation this year, will reach the enormous
sum of over TWO HUNDRED AND
NINETY MILLION OF DOLLARS.
Who tDots the JiUf
Manufacturers pay a cetain per cent. tax
upon all goods manufacturedb by them which
per cent they add to the price of the goods,
thus clearing themselves entirelY-they do
not foot the bill. Retailers buy the goods
with the per cent. added, and add there to
the taxes with which they are chargcd-so
by the time the consumer gets hold of them
he has to ray the taxes Of every individual
through whose hands the goods pass.

This is the Revenue Tax. How is it with
the tax on personal property?

MECHANICS
The Withdrawal of the capital invested in
Bonds from the Tax Duplicate throws an
increased burden upon the remaining Per-
sonal Property aud Real Estate.
who owns the greater part Of the Real
Estate in the country?
FARMERS! They pay the taxes which
should fall upon the capitalists.
To collect the Revenue Tax there are EN-.
ployed a host Of Assessors, Collectors and
Commissioners, who receive large salarie,
for their services.
Their salaries are paid from the hard
earnings of the Farmer and Mechanic.
Their labors could be performed by State
and County officers at less than one-thrd
the expense, and thus greatly reduce the
taxes.
This oppressive system of taxation was
originated and legalized by the Abolition
party, who propose to make the men OF
moderate means bear its burdens, while the
capitalists are exempt, thus creating an aris-
tocracy based on wealth.
The Democratic party proposes to make
every man pay his proportion Of the ex-
penses OF the Government, according to
his means. They do not recognize the right
or justice of creating privileged classes, to
be supported upon the industry of the land.
They are opposed to the present expensive
machinery of collecting taxes, by which q
large proportion is eaten up by office hold
crS.
IF you are opposed to paying taxes for
men better able to pay them than you are
if you are opposed to the present expensive
and unjust system of taxation, make it
known at the polls by voting against those
who have laid this heavy burden upon the
work ing classes -(UjWicOfLe IdvcTtiser

Beautiful Legend.

We find in a sermon Of Theodore Parker
the following story; The subject of his dis
course was "rest. ....
They tell story that one day Rabbi
Judah and his brethren, the seven pillars Of
wisdom sat in the court of the temple Of
fast day, disputing about rest. One said it
was to have attained sufficient wealth, yet
without sin. The second said it was fame
and praise to all men. The third that it
was possession of power to rule the State.
The fifth, that it must be only in the old
age of ono who is rich, powerful famous and
surrounded by children and children's chill.
dren. The sixth said that all were vain un-
less he kept all the ritual Of Moses. And
Rabbi Judah, the venerable, the tallcst OF
the brothers, said You have spoken wise.
ly, but one thing more is necessary: He
only can find rest who to all things addeth
thls-that he keep the traditions Of the
elders.
