Our Candidate for Congress.

We claim right to boast little of the
success of the NJ oveinent we inaugurated cf
running Fathe r Perkins for congress for the
state at large. Bssides the L.. Sale Press,
we take pride and pleasure in enrolling the
FaiIbury Nccs-our military Brother Moses
raper-in the list of supporters of Father p.
for congress. Then note the effect the move
ment has had elsewhere: Gen. Birney, of
Grundy county, no sooner hears of it than
he backs of the course for congress inconti>
nently. He sees there is no chance for hin,
with Perkins in the field John A. Logan

positively declines to fun.
Nevertheless, we are fully conscious that
our own efforts in this noble undertaking
would fail but for the mighty aid we have in
the judicious movements of Father p. HIM
self. Our tru MP card in this enterprise, our
readers aware, lies in the Niagara Ship

WHO ARE FOR THE UNION.

On the 7th day of January, 1864, Mr..
Rogers, Democrat, of New Jersey, in the
House of Representatives of the United
States, offered resolutions, declaring that q
State or States, whenever they shall desire
to return to the Union, and obey the Con-
stitution of the United States and laws made
in pursuance thereof have right to come
back, their laws and acts of secession being
unconstitutional and void that we are for
the most united, determined, and vigorous
prosecution of the war, for the PURPOSE of
enforcing the Constitution of the United
States and a restoration of the Union under
the Constitution.
Mr.. Stevens (disunionist) moved that the
series of resolutions be laid upon the table;
which motion was carried, by vote Of sew
enty-eight disunionists-al Republicans-to
forty-two Unionists-all Democrats.
(see House Journal, Ist session, 3sth Cohgrose
page li5)
What does this vote mean? What does
it assert? What does it defend? 1t means
that the Republicans in Congress, and the
radical portion of the constituency they rep
resent were in 1864, as they are in 1866, and
will ever be, opposed to the return of any of
the rebellieus States to the Union, no mat.
ter how submissive and repentant they may
be; it asserts that they (the rebellious States)
have no right to come back, although we
lavished millions of Treasure and piled UP
whole hetacombs of lives to compel them to
come back it defends war, which, by their
votes they declared should not be prosecu-
ted for the enforcement of the Constitution
and the restoration of the Union. In a
word, this vote of the Republican party in
Congress, proves them to be secessionists,
disunionists and traitors.
What else does this vote mean, assert and
defend? 1t means that the Democrats I'M
Congress, land the conservative constituencies
they represent, were In 1864, as they are in
1866, in favor of the return to the Union of
all the States who obey the Constitution and
the laws; it asserts, that this submission be-
ing shown, they have right to comeback
and it defends the war, as one when was
carried on for the sole purpose Of bringing
these States back under the Constitution,
the Union and the laws.
The Republican disunionists say they shall
not come back; the Democratic Unionists
say they shall come back: Geary represents
the Republican disunibnists Clymer repre-
sents the Democratic Unionists: Geary rep
resents Stevens, Sumner, and the boys in
black Clymer represents johnson, Cowan
and the " boys in blue" Stevens, Sumner
and the boys in black are dtsuaionists--
so is Geary. johnson, Cowan and the boys
in blue are Unionists-s0isC Clymer. VoTH

The New Tax Bill,

On Friday the President signed the new
tax bill and the Internal Revenue depart
ment at once commenced complying with its
requirements. We give synopsis Of its
chief points and most important charges.
The tax on cotton is fixed at three cents
per pound. Gas Companies are allowed to
add their tax to customers bills till April SO;
1867. Reapers, mowers, threshing machines,
and grain seperators remain on the free list.
The income tax is allowed to stand as in
the existing law, except that persons Tesid-
ing abroad and doing business here will be
required to pay the same tax as home resi-
dents. The exemption remains at $780,.
Any change could not effect the returns of
last year, and as the next session of Congress
concludes before the years returns are re-
quired to be made, a change, ifadviSable, can
be made at that session.
Railroads, ferries, toll-bridges, &C., are al
lowed to add the tax to the rates offare till
the end of next April, and while street rail-
ways can increase their single fares one cent
to cover the tax, proviso requires that they
shall sell tickets by the package with only the
exact tax added to the regular rate
The paper question stands as fixed by the
Senate, viz:-prlnting paper of all descrip-
tons Is free, and other paper is taxed three
per cent ad valorem.
1De TAX OF Oflc-JcuIn OF one per cent on all
auction sales is agreed to, the tax on ready
made clothing is fixed at two per cent; and
tailors milliners, shoemakers, &c, are to be
exempt from tax, as in House bill, when
their work, exclusive ofmaterialS, does not
exceed 81, 900 annually; cofdage rope and
cable made of vegetable fibre are put on the
free list.
On tobacco there was no question, the
House agreeing to the Senate amendment
making Is cents per pound the rate on smo-
kingnot sweetened; stemmed or butted The
only difference between the two, however,
with respect to cigars, was on the higher
grades The rates in full on cigars &c, as
agreed by the committee, are as follows:
Two dollars per thousand on cigarettes;
short skies, cherocts and twisted heads when
not valued above sS per thousand. -Four
dollars per thousand on cheroots, cigaretts
and cigars, when valued above IS and not
above Sl2 per thousand, aud four dollars per
thousand when valued above Sl2, with 20
per cent advalorem on the excess In value
above SI2.

WHAT THE AGE WANTS.-A writer says:
THE great want of this age is men. Men
who are not for sale Men sound from the
center to the circumference, true to the
heart 5 core. Men who fear the Lord and
covetness. Men who will condemn the
wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as IN
Others. Men whose consciences are steady
as the needle to the pole Men who will
stand for the right if the heavens totter and
the earth reels Men who can tell the truth
and look the world and the devil right in the
eve. Men that neither brag nor run. Men
that neither swaggernor finch. Menwhoc can
have courage without whistling for it, and joy
without shouting to bring it. Men in whoni
the current of everlasting life runs still, and
deep, and strong. Men careful Of God s honor
and careless of mems applause. Men too
large for sectarian limits and too strong for
sectarian bands. Men who do not strive,
nor cry, nor cause their voices to be heard
in the street, but who will not fail, nor be
discouraged, till judgment be set on the
earth. Men who know their message and
tell it. Men who know their duty and do 1t.
Men who know their place and fill it. Men
who mind their own business. Men who will
not lie Men who are not too lazy to work,
nor too proud to be poor. Men who are
willing to eat what they earned, and wear
what they paid for. Men who know I'M
whom they have believed. Men whose feet
arc on everlasting rock. Men who are not
ashamed of their hope. Men who are
strong with divine strength, wise with the
xisdoua that eometh from above, and loving
