No subject unlts IL be perhaps that oil
reconstruction, engroeses the attention
of the American people more at presen,
than docs that Of the burdens of taxa,
ton TO which we are sui jvcted, and what
steps shall be taken toward lessening
them. And in view Of this fact it has
Seemed strange to US at times that the
present Congress has not taken definite
ACTION In the premises.
The debt OF the country at the pres,
sst time, for the maturing Of which,
with interest, we are so burdensomey
taxed, was, 10 be sure, contracted for
the preservation of the government and
every star on its flag, and that the na-
zion might live honored and respected
as a leading power Of the earth; but the
fact that the present government carried
on the great rebellion TO a successful
termination, that 1t furnished the great
amount OF human life necessary to ap-
pease the more than mortal cravings OF
the occasion, appears to us at least por-
ton of It's share, and when we consider
that even after these sacrifices, the peo-
pie are willing TO contribute their just
share towards canceling our national
obligations, or if necessity demanded it,
even the entire amount, We think that
our our legislators will see the propriety
Of inaugurating measures for having q
portion Of them paid by the next or
future generation, and not 'aide a free
horse to death by making our present
generation maintain the dignity of the
nation and pay the enormous expenses
Of doing so incident upon five years
intestine war.
Our posterity in the Republic will,
Of course, have all Che blessings which
have occurred to US over the evils Of sla-
very and enjoy the benefits OF freedom
which we have endeavored, and very
successfully, to perpetuate for the ma
tlon, and if they, without the cost OF
blood are to enjoy these blessings,
should they not bear their Just proper
ton Of the treasure which it has cost to
achieve it? We think they should. and
If the Fortieth Congress will consider
bbe demands Of its constituents, we be-
ueve one of its first measures will be to
institute means by which the people
will be relieved of paying such tax as
would cancel our debt in from twenty to
thirty years. We have borne our just
proportion for the preservation OF the
Republic, and If future generations pre-
serve it as inviolate at even half the ex
pense, the freedom-loving people in all
time to come Will rise up and call them
blessed.

I,e'' Gov. Brown, Of Georgia, man
of considerable ability, and OF much in.
huence at the South, has written a letter
In which he advises the people of Geor-
Sia to accept the terms proposed by the
new reconstruction bill as the best they
can get and he recommends that .
State convention be Immediately called
to change the State Constitution so as
to provide for universal suffrage. He
says the negroes will naturally SYM
pathize with those among whom they
were raised and If the people of the
State deal justly with them they will
seldom have reason TO complain that the
freedmen do not respect their wishes or
consult their wishes ut the ballot box.
This letter OF Gov. Brown will create
some surprise at the North and the South.
1t is an evidence that the Southern PEG.
pie begin to appreciate their position in
the Union, and the requirements to
which they must submit before they can
have representation in Congress. The
opinions Of such man ought to infu.
ence President Johnson's action upon
the BILL and will, if the latter is not
wholly given over TO hardness OF heart
and blindness OF mind.

Rev. 7. W. Harwood of Poultney read
sermon upon "The True Calling and
Election" based upon I'd Pet. l: 10. The
preacher took the American ground that
the election Of God, so far as 1t relates to
men as moral agents, is one Of character
and not OF person; that is that God
elects the righteous to life eternal. and
condemns the wicked to everlasting
death view endorsed by the members
Of the association.
Rev. w. Ford OF Brandon read an
able essay on THE Harmony OF Reason
and Revolution 10 Religion" The ESSAY
was an able discussion of the subject in
hand, and the author claimed Justly a
high place for reason in religion, but
yet strongly and truly held that there
are are many thing in Revelation which
transcend reason, and that there are
multiplied mysteries in revelation which
are by no means to be discarded because
they cannot be understood. Mystery is
written upon the earth beneath and the
heavens above; it is in every sunbeam,
and every flower; it is in all matter and
all minds; in life and in death; in short
in all things natural and supernatural.
Mysteries must be Judged by evidence.
