these pleasant parties have 1eTiyed. and the
blossoms OF May are taking, daily, parties to
the '7ildwoods. On Tuesday last the young
ladies ot st. Marg's Academy, Miss NJ A.

music procured and arrangement made for AN
old-fashioned picnic" After an impromptu
coronation, by tho younger pupils, Of Miss Ella
McCaferty as Queen Of May, the spacious barn
OF Mr.. Gibbs, near by, was cleared for dancing,
and then music kept time to bounding feet
the Gay long. Others scattered themselves
through the woods, which rang with the chill

was one Of great pleasure to all concerned. We

THAT TAXATION should only be with
the consent of the taxed through their
own representatives is cardinal prlnci-
ple of all free governments: but IL Is
NOT true that taxation and representa-
ton must 60 together under all clrcum-
stances and at every moment OF Inne.
The people of the District OF Columpia
and of all the Territories are taxed
although not represented in Congress
Star Chamber Report.
The assertion embraced in the closing
sentence of the above paragraph Is not
true in fact, and is calculated, u not ae-
signed, to deceive. Territories are repre-
sented in Congress by delegates: Every
Congressman must regard the INTERESTS
of the Territories as the common prop
erty. and. therefore, he is qaas. repre-
sentative of Territories and the Dls'Iio o
of Columbia. But this denial OF Ine
RIGHT of those who have been over1orh9
bv rebellion to representation Dy ioyai
rsnresentatiyes is of exigent importance
nv reason of it's probable effects. Let
Ms quote Robert J. Walker, on this point:
.Tbe result of large standing armies
and oppressive taxation, caused by tne
policy of the Presidents opponents,
would produce an earthquake convul'
sion. It would quadruple the excise
and income tax, blight every field, becalm
every vessel, break every bank and rail.
road, and ruin every factory IN the
country. 1t dissolves the Unicn, de-
stroys the Constitution, and erects q
military despotism on it's ruins. 1t would
postpone, perhaps indefinitely, the trans.
fer of the command of the commerce and
exchanges of the world from Europe 10
America. European despots would ex'
ult, whilst the friends OF freedom IN the
Old World, and especially in Ireland and
Germany, would shed tears OF blood.
Johnson is walking in the footsteps OF
Jackson and Lincoln, and re-echoln
their sentiments, 1.-THE Union shall De
preserved" The prolonged government
of eleven States as conquered provinces
enforcing taxation without representa-
ton, would permanently ALLEVIATE the
South from the North. 1t might drive
them to madness and despair, and re-
new the civil war when our credit ano
resources were exhausted. We nave
emancipated, through q great conStltu
tional amendment, carried only py Jonh
sons policy, four millions of negroes
Let us not attempt to enslave eight mil
lions of our erring white brethren OF the
South; they will welcome death before
such fate as this. / have fought all
nv life against secession and dlsunlon III
