The Taria Robbery.

While the Mongrel party keeps up ter
ible din and clatter about the poor negro,
It does not forget to pile the burdens on the
back of white labor. Itspends from twelve
10 twenty or thirty millions of dollars yearly
il taking care of lazy negroes, which is
ground out of the hard earnings of the poor
White workingmen. When it arranges It's
tariff, it is also very ready to exempt the
articles of the rich, while it piles on the
tariff upon those goods that are mainly con-
sumed by the poor. Even Mongrel paper,
IN alluding TO this matter, excIaims loudly
against it, and gives some examples of the
atrocious swindle of the present tariff bill
now before Congress
"Woolen coatings, the cost of which IS
81 08 per yard, are to be raised twentv-four
per cent. higher but the fine and costly
qualities, the gold price of which is So 40.
are raised only eleven per cent; and still
finer qualities, of the gold cost of 50 60, are
raised only ten per cent. The coarse coat
ings are to pay from eighty to one hundred
and twenty per cent in duties, but the finer
and more costly are only burdened with
from sIxty-fve to seventy per cent
The same is true of carpets. The duty
on the high-priced carpets is not raised at
all that on low-priced carpets is raised ten
cents per square yard, about FIVE per cent.
In the same manner, there is no increase on
silk dress goods. which are bought by the
wealthy; but on small articles of silk, such
az yibbens, which are used by the poor as
well, there is an increase of ten per cent.
High-priced linens are even put under a
diminished duty; they are to pay five per
cent. less than now
The commonest kinds of cutlery are to
pay from one hundred to two hundred PEI
cent duty that Is to say, farmers and me-
chanics, and working people generally, arc
to be made to pay BY this atrocious tariff
twice or three times as much as the articles
can be imported for; for Of course, the
home manufacturer viii at once put up his
prices to the highest EEnit at which he can
just undersei the importer who has these
duties to pay.
If Democratic paper had made these
assertions, it would have been accused Of
Elandering s'the God and morally" party,
but here it is from their own journals. The
truth is, that the present party in power i.
simply the old Tory gang under another
name, that Jefferson swept out Of Office
when he put the government on the re-
publican tack, = and they wiz reduce the
masses to be mere hewers of wood and
drawers Of water, as they are in other c6un-
tries, If allowed to go on. They viii cover
up their crimes against white men with q
Fzstended love for the negro, but really they

Governments for the Southern
States

4 measure has been introduced into the
so-called Congress, at Washington, aud
which the RuDgp usNrpers are zealously Ia
boring to enact into what they call law, un-
der the cognomen of ''The Territorial Bill, "
or Governments for the Rebel States. -
This is one Of the most infamous attempts
to destroy our Liberties and Constitutional
Government that has ever been attempted.
This bill deliberately proposes to utterly de-
stroy the State Governments of the ten
Southern States, lately in rebellion against
the General Government, by ignoring the
authority of their State and Municipal Off
GERS, declaring the commission Of the said
Officers null and void and the aforesaid
States nugatory and conquered territory.
1t is also proposed in the Bill, by the
Radical Rump Congress, so-called. to invest
themselves with the power-in the teeth of
the Constitution-to re-inaugurate Military
Despotism over the entire Southern people,
by declaring the Military Power superior to
the Civil Law, establishing Martial Law and
ruling the country by Courts Martial and
that at the mercy of loyal Yankee Generals.
We are opposed to this infamous Yankee
proposition. 1t is wrong in principle, cow
ardly in conception, and would be violative
of every law, human and Divine, There is
no shade of warrant, for the enactment of
such law, in the Constitution, and would
establish pure Military Despotism. in which
no right of citizen would be recognized or
respected.

The constitutional Amendment.

The loyal papers announce with great
eclat, that the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
has passed the so-called Constitutional
amendment. " This is only another usurpa-
ton of despotic power. by the reckless ia
natics at Harrisburg, and gross insult to,
and Misrepresentation of, the will of the SOW
ereign people of this commonwealth. We
venture the prediction, without the hazard
of soundjudgment, that the ratification Of
the so-cailed Amendments to the Constitu
ton, is in direct opposition to the wishes O.
two-thirds of the voters of Pennsylvania
and they viii hold these demagougues re
sponsible for the abuse of every such act Of
Legislative misrepresentation.

To the Editor Of the Press ah@ 1'iit tA -ai .a1
The week just gone has been one of unusual
excitement in this nervous city For several
weeks the attention Of Parisians has been oc-
casionally diverted from the Exposition by the
arrival Of some crowned head or prince. The
brother of the Taicoon came too early to
make much of a sensation and the visit OF the
Prince of Wales was scarcely noticed zap
ropos of the Prince, I am told that at one of
his former visits to Paris he was invited to a
reception at the Tuileries, but instead he spent
the evening at the Theatre of Follies-a great
piece of folly, too,-and this may perhaps ac-
count for his cool reception.) But on the ar
rival of the King of Belgium, great eagerness
to see him was manifested and the fetes which
have continued ever since commenced.
After him came the Prince of Prussia and
then the Gear of Russia, last of all, up to date,
! the King Of Prussia. These last three person
| ages have created the greatest sensation ana
| public feeling is not altogether in their favor'
| Every one knows how heartily the French de-
| snise the Kine of prussia and Count Bismarck,
and the little Iuxembourg affair has not in
/ creased their love tor those persons AS yet
no ird;opity has been offered them, thong l
.o,,o fear that they will be derided before they
| derart-
| But the greatest excitement has been on
| account of the advent of the Emperor OF all
| the Rucsas'-he has to drop one of them from
| his title since Secretary Stewards purchase
| The appearance of so powerful monarch in
Paris is not common occurrence, and the
French, having such love for exclusive do
| minion, were anxious to see the man whom
the other rulers fear and watch with jealous
eyes, The streets about the railway stations
were crowded for a long distance when he ar.
rived. He was not insulted at that time bur
bas been several times since While riding
out he has been greeted number of times by
shouts of Vira la Pologue", and many arrests
have been made of persons who have thus
shouted.
Last Thursday grand review took place ID
the Bois de Boulogne, in honor OF the Car and
the King of Prussia. The day was pleasant
and every body was ON the street. All the av'
enues along which the carriages containing
these guests must pass were densely crowded
and half IA million people assembled at the
Longchamps to see the review. Sixty thou
