A more palpaple falsehood never
was uttered than that the Republican
Party is responsible for heavy taxa
tion. The taxation c. uld not have ex-
listed without the war, which vas pro-
longed three years by the opposition of
the Northern Democracy to the Gov
eminent. Had the Democratic party,
like some of its patriot members,
heartily supported the Government
in it, efforts to pct down the rebellion
from its very inception. it could not
have lasted six months, and the cx-
peuse incurred BY the Government
would have been comparatively tri-
fling. and could have been met with
out direct taxation.
