Can't the Republican Mind
Grasp 1t?

The Statcsman's editorial showing that
the Internal Revenue paid last year in the
first district of this State, embracing half
of Hamilton County, was greater than the
tax levied in tho State in 1853, under the
administration Of Governor MEDILL, has
caused a shaking among dry bones in the
Republican party. We supposed it would.
We intended it should. Governor Me.
DILL was greatly exercised over tho fact
that the levy in 1858 for State, county,
township, town, city, poor, bridge, school
purposes, &c, had run up to nearly eight
milliones of dollars. He, therefore, wan.
ted the taxes cut down, because it was cs.
scntial to the prosperity Of the State that
this should be done. We are not surp,i.
scd than this exhibit, damaging to the
Republican party, should perfectly as.
found the ZaneseiM Courier. 1t sceats
danger ahead to its party in consequence
ofstho intolorablc taxes it has loaded down
upon the shoulders of the people. 1t ap.
prehends that "the Democratic party ex.
poet to make their fight next fall on the
question Of taxa ion." and it is very much
worried. 1t has need to be-. This matter
Of taxation, it will find, is "a fact" that
the Republican "mind can grasp" as well
as the democratic mind" The Repub.
lican mind can comprehend that the In.
tcrnal Revenue paid last year in enc sin,
gle District Of this State, Of itself, should
not exceed the taxes assessed in the State
iu 1853 for all purposes whatsoever. The
Republican mind as well as the Democrat
ic mind can comprehend that such taxa.
ton will inevitably crush out business en-
ergy and enterprise, and almost beggar
thousands upon thousands. There must
DO q change IN this matter, or the people,
who once could rightfully claim to be the
@freest, tho most independent, and the
most euterorising will be poccssitated to
fall back into a secondary condition. A
poor man, whether Republican or Demo.
cryt, when he sits down to his meat and
salt, or potatoes and salt, can comprehend
that a great wrong is done him in putting
upon even the salt he uses, as is now con.
templated by Congress, q duty of 229 per
cent. In Democratic times, when "the
South ruled the country" as is falsely as
serted by Republican politicians, q duty
OF ~ per cent on salt was considered oll.
sufficient. These things will tell /; and
we undertake to say that as the fall cleo
ton approaches, the people will be more
concerned about the mitigation of the
crushing taxation the Republican party,
in one way and another, has imposed
upon them, than about whether the bless
ed Black man shall be made q voter
Statesman.

THE END OF THE NATTER.

After some weeks and months of furry
about the Crosby Opera House, We propose
to close the columns ofthe GATE CRY against

ing authoritative account of its final DISPOSE

The following communication embodies the
reasons for the sale to Mr.. Crosby, and ex-
plains satisfactorily the dilatoriness of Mr.,
Lee in reaching the city, and the reluctance
he entertained relative to being made an OBJ.
ject of curiosity and remark:

those who, having betrayed that holy cause,
are now united, in sympathy and effort to
undo the work which was accomplished At
such immense sacrifice of treasure and blood,
closing only with the sacrifice Of Lincoln
himself, the savior Of his country, on the
bloody altar Of treason.
It is sufficient for patriots, loyal citizens,
and gallant soldiers, TO know that it is the
Chicago Times which viilihes Lincoln and his
Administration. and eulogizes johnson and
the change that he is working in the tone
and temper Of the country, and the conducs

That is quite right. The Democrats have
been consistent, though neither honest nor
patriotic, from the outbreak OF the warto the
present hour. They opposed Lincoln's ad.
m'nistration in the field of battle, in the
councils Of the nation, on the stump and
through the press. And now they support
Johnson's administration by massacreinh
Union men in the South, and abusing loyal
men in the North as heretofore.
But the 'bread>and butter men, who went
