Democracy MS Applied to Man
and Government.
by D. F. FoRTNEY.


When we contemplate the merits of
this subject, however much it has been
discussed, it seems to assume new shape
with each observation--a new form of
interest and importance in its favor, and
a grandcr and h lier appearance in all its
features, Which render it almost an object
of divine veneration and regard.
That man has rights, is fact of uni
versal consciousness which can no more
be doubted than the existence Of an eter.
nal God. 1t admits of no formal demon.
stratiou, for itself is the groundwork and
first truth Of demonstration. 1t rests on
instincts which are bursting mani
festations of nature, on convictions which
spling up spontaneously with the earliest
as well as the mightiest unfoldings of
human thought, and ever WELD under
every sky dcspotic over volitions of the
human will. The spirit of resistance is
never more instantly, or more violently
aroused than when these convictions Of
right are infringcd upon. No people,
however stupid in mind, or degraded in
morals, that have not felt their might
So inseperablo from human existence,
and SO powerful over all the actions Of
human impulse, are they, that years of
oppression cannot eradicate or dim their
force, while they grow stronger and firm.

elevation.
Man has rights. To every faculty of
his organization there is annexed the con-
Sciousness of right to its use, to invig
oratc and expand it, to multiply its OBJ
ects and unfold its power, AS a being
of flesh and blood, of organs and limbs,
Of mind, and of passions, he feels that he
has right to their qualification and use.
He may accumulate whatever means that
will increase his happiness or content
He may employ his corporeal powers in
any occupation for which they were de.
signed he may exercise his skill and Ia.
Dor in that direction which shall best con.
tribute to his comfort; he may fix his
habitation and adjust his mode Of life as
necessity or pleasure shall control. In
all these dispositions, none of earth can
say, "Man, what doest thou 7"

manity, ever to be deserted. The for.
tunes of individuals may change, Empires
be burned and blotted out, kings rise and
fall, wealth, honor and distinction fade,
as the dying pageant Of dream, but De.
mocracy will live. While man lasts it
will live. And the day of its complete,
its final success, will oppressed, down
trodden man look up. Then the earth
will be glad Then will long, loud
shout Of rejoicing break through the con-
cave Of Heaven and be echoed back from
the Throne on High.

Taxes.

y
Every where we turn, we meet with
some new phase in taxation. We have
national tax, State tax, county tax,
township tax, borough tax, commuta.
ton tax, and income tax-tax upon every
thing, except the air we breathe and The
water We drink. We have no doubt but
if the assessor Of income could by any
means discover how much Of either We
consume, he would take it into his ac.
count. The last kind Of tax, for which
no name is given, is tax Of seventy
five dollars apiece upon Children. Re-
gardiDg each child as seyenty-fve dollars
income, each year, would make some poor
men have an income far beyound the six
hundred dollars allowed by law, and sub
ject them to o tax they could never pay.
The reason Of this practice has never
been explained. 1t is not law. Il
lacks three Of the essential elements
uniformity, universality and permanence.
1t is only an Abolition rule. II suits us.
"Things is workin'." II is said that our
taxes here will be about three per cent
this next year. A nice picture to look
upon. The result Of doing what the
majority have been doiug-yoting tho

citizens. These are sad trophies to emu
merate these, also, will be the recurring
realities throughout the future history Of
of our country. You have turned forth
into society four millions Of ignorant vag-
abonds, convertible at any moment into
an army Of as many barbarous criminals,
and murderous dcsperadoes. You have
broken their former relations, and usher
ed them into the dazzling light Of free.
dom which they not only fail to appre.
ciate, but which absolutely transforms
them into miserable paupers, paupers
with no home, no country, no recognition
Ito say nothing of the countless multi
tudes who have already gone starving,
freezing, rotting to untimely graves
You have created public debt, incalcu-
liable in amount, inconceivable in magni.
tude, alarming to contemplate, aud disas.
trous to the pecuniary interests of the na-
ton. We have o constitution formerly
the most inviolable and venerated docu.
ment ever framed by man, but now, and
a: any future time liable, from the force
of precedent, to be disregarded in re-.
Spect to its dearest and most sacred pro-
visions, and to be trampled upon in re.
spect to Its most positive requirements,
on the part of executive functionaries -
We have union which is to be perpetu-
ated or broken up in compliance with the
naughty and incxorable dictation Of mill
tary power, without regard to the wishes,
welfare, and sentiments of the people
The Union Of to-day is not the Union of
80. The one was social compact, the
other is the erection Of military prowess.
The one arose from the love, affection
and the common interests of the people,
the other came forth as the offspring of a
bloody military triumph. The one sub
sisted in the mutual confidence aud re-
ciprocal attachment Of all the sections,
the other is sustained by tho coercive and
destructive power Of ore section exerted
against the other. The one acknowl.
edged full and equal rights to all the
States, the other has disposed Of every
sovereign right according to the capri
cious will of frowning military com
mander. The ors required the consent
of all parties, the other receives the con.
sent of but one party, and ignores the
wishes Of the other. Well may it be
styled a uuilateral compact, which is the
tyrant's plan of adjustment. You have
made the Union exclusively your own
