New Jersey Notification.

New Jersey, like Mississippi, has natural
disiuclination to pay her just debts or submit
to taxation to pay the debts Of the Govern
ment contracted in carrying on the war.
And the New Jersey Democracy, being great
admirers of JEFF. DAVIS, and being allied to
the great traitor chief and repudiator, both in
sentiment and by marriage, are anxious to
impair the credit of the Government Of the
United States Hence, amongst other meas
ures and ideas in the interests of Jeffdom,
their late State Convention adopted resolu
ton in favor of State taxation of the bonds
of the United States This resolution can
only serve to show the spirit which inspires
the Democracy of New Jersey, and can do
no possible harm to anybody, for the Supreme
Court of the United States decided long since
BY Chief Justice MARSHALL that the States had
no right or power to tax the bonds of the
United States. And the reason is conclusive,
for if the States had that right, then the Gov
ernment of the United States is at the mercy
of the latter governments.
In the case of Weston rs. the City Council
Of Charleston q Peters-463) the whole
question was decided and the decision has
stood as undisputed constitutional law in the
courts from that day to this.
Chief Justice MAasHAIIs who delivered the
opinion of the court, said:
The American people have conferred the
power of borrowing money on their govern
ment, and, by making that government su-
preme, have shielded its action, in the exer.
else of this power. from the action of the To-
cal governments.
s'The right to tax the contract TO any ex-
tent, when made, must operate upon the pow
er TO borrow before it is exercised, and have
sensible influence on the confr1ct. The ex-
tent of this influence depends on the will of
distinct government. To my extent, how
ever inconsiderable, it is 81 burden ON the
operations of government. ~ may be car
ried to an extent which shall s9rrest them en-
tirely.
The tax on governrpent stock is thought
by the court to be tn ON the contract, q
tax on the power to borBow money on the
credit Of the United States, and consequently
to be repugnaat to the GsReoDtion.n
Thus the Democracy Of Me- Jersey have
planted themselves On aplaGlSfm ssrepugnsnt
to the Constitatoa, 2 andnanifest the s.ne
hostility to the Goysrnms6t that distinsuish,d,
thsir South Carolina fisads.

TANNING.-A new patent has been invented
and applied in Paducah, Kentucky. which
shortens the time required for tanning leath
er to about one fourth the period required by
the old process. The improvement consists,
simply, in the application of machinery to the
handling of the hides in the watts so as to keep
them moving and thus facilitate the absorp-
tion of the tannn. The leather will not be
injured by this process as it is by other pat
ents which effect the object by red hot steam,
and ruin the leather for wearing purposes
1t is time some invention was in use to re-
duce the price of leather to some reasonable
proportion as compared with hides.

Wirz, the Andersonville jailor, has issued
an appeal for help, addressed to the editor OF
the New York Ncacs, and published in that
rebel sympathizing sheet. As before stated
in our columns, some loyal men have re-
sponded to his call, in order that he NAV not
have the excuse of an imperfect defense to
plead, and thus his guilt be obscured. The
letter states that he is without money, and
needs funds to procure copies of depositions,

The Cincinnati Commercial gives this an
ecdote of Governor Brough' power of voice
"During the Polk campaign, Brough was
addressing a large audience on the public
landing in Cincinnati. Opposite the Ohio,
below the mouth of Licking, bar extended
into the river at low water, which then being
the case, Kentucky audience had gathered
there TO hear. II was a moonlight night, and
the speaker attention was drawn to ''stir''
in his Covington auditory. He stopped a

that his speaking was distinctly heard across

Benton is at the capital. It seems he has not
definitely accepted the Possum nomination.

has informed one of our citizens thathe has not
yet accepted the nomination rendered by the
'Possum and Snake Conventions, but is still
deliberating whether or not it will be best for
him to accept That is a question which
ought not to puzzle him very much but if
the Colonel wants to know just exactly how
much he is tored by the creatures who have Sc
lected him as their leader, let him decline

tongues than Eve ever dreamed of after her

neecher,s Late / PoiitlcaI sermon.

We observe that o few of the Democratic
papers are quoting and bepraising the re-
cent political sermon Of HENRY WARD
BEEcHEG and papers, too, that have not
been backward In denouncing political
preaching. We can't see the consistency of
this. Suppose that this political parson
should hereafter show that he is as sensible
rs these papers assume he has become, 1t
would not at all change the principle.
What we object to now, as we have al
ways done, is the use, by Clergyman, OF
the hours for Divine service, and the
house Of God, for the exposition Of secular
and political topics. We believe such use
TO be desecration of the time and place, and
an imposition upon those who support tht
Minister. 1t leads to angry discussion and
bitter feeling, without enlightening any
body. 1t is not so much the assertion OF
any particular views, as the entire misap-
preparation of the occasion, that we object
to. ,.c tTsf
We are unable to find in this political
sermon of BEEcHER's anything which
should call forth such praise. 1t seems to
us to be the duty of a Christian Minister,
to preach, in a Gospel way, forbearanc'
and justice. So far as BEEcHER has dom
this, he has but discharged his duty. We
are, however, unwilling to indorse the
crude political ideas of this, jack-at-all-
trades, because he, believing there is to b.
no punishment in the next world, Is will
ing that il he may dictate the terms and
name the persons, certain men and women
shall not, In this life, be burned at the stake
or drowned in the sea, for political offenses!
We have no more faith in BEECHER's poll
tics, than we have had hitherto-not Bit
more faith than we have in his orthodoxy
