The Burdens of Taxation.

Tho oppressive taxation Of the present
day is beginning to tell fearfully upon the
laboring masses Of the country. Under it
the people begin to groan and ask for relief.
Even the Radical Governor Of New York
suggests to The Radical Congress the let up,
and reduce taxation; bet no relief is offered
lhere-.oo much negro on the brain. The
wealthy can hold their untaxed bonds, but
the laboring man must pay bis tax upon
everything that goes to sustain life. Can
the people longer sustain the Radicals 10
their laws Of oppression. Tax tax-ta1, seems
TO be one Of their leading ideas. But Of all
the most Infamous taxes the stamp taxes are
the worst. Henry Clay Dean truthfully and
pointedy says:
"This system Of unspeakabls oppression
has become universal and unsparing. These
hungry taskmasters come down upon you
like a wolf on the fold. They stamp your
deeds; stamp your affidavits; stamp your
agreements and appraisements; stamp your
assignments; stamp your bank checks and
bills of exchange; stamp your bills Of lading
and bills Of sale; stamp your bonds; stamp
your cards; stamp your certificates Of loan,
certificates Of deposit, certificates Of stock,
certificates Of profit, certificates Of record. cer
ti6cates of weight, certificates Of every kind
certified transcripts; stamp your charters;
stamp your clearances; stamp your contracts;
stamp your conveyances; stamp your entries;
stamp your insurances; stamp your leases;
stamp your legal documents, your letters Of
credit, and letters of administration; stamp
your manifests; stamp your mortgages; stamp
your pension papers and passage tickets;
stamp your matches; stamp your cigars;
stamp your medicines, your perfumeres, cosI
metics; stamp your powers Of attorney; stamp
your photographs; stamp your probates OF
will, your bonds of executors, letters Of ap
pointment; stamp your protests and promis-
sorry notes; stamp your quit claim deeds, re-
leases and discharges; stamp your receipts;
trust; stamp the varied cOhtents Of your
warehouses.
The widow. sheltered in ber sban,y,
standing by the bedside Of her dying child,
is not permitted to light her lamp until she
pays for the stamp imposed upon the match
es; nor can she administer the medicine un-
til she has paid for he stamp upon the pbal
or box containing it. The photograph Of
your dead wife, or mother, or sister, or
daughter, or that Of the Immaculate Savior
Of maj kind, must be defaced with the vulgar
picture Of the sinister countenance Of some
vain glorious, p!undering tyrant, who, not
content with robbing the laborng masses,
thrusts bis is indecent presence upon your
attention in the moments of your most sa
cred devotion, or in the secret chambers Of
your grief"

Hear him:
"The Offices of Supervisor, Assessor and
Legislator are by no mean, less important
than those so eagerly contended for, and yet
it is almost impossible TO prevail on thor
oughly capable and suitable men to accept
them. How often has it happened that
men have been presented as candidates to
supervise the interests Of county, to whom
we would have reluctantly y entrusted the su.
pervision Of peanut stand! And frequent.
ly men are run for Assessor, to be relied on
to resist probable bribes of thousands OF
dollars, who would not be trusted with a
twenty dollar piece by one out Of fifty OF
their supporters. For legislative candidates
too, like disregard Of the fitness Of things
is frequently manifested. Those are frequent
ly elected to participate in making laws for
our great and growing State. the mention
OF whose names as fitted to draugbt a set oi
by laws for mining claim, would be heard
with derision.',

Democrats. They will put into position q

INFAMOUS JUDaR.-Divorce suits are
dcplorably frequent 10 this country. The
separation Of husband and wife is regarded
by many as a trivial occurrence. And yet,
in most instances, it is believed, such sep
arations are without Justification and damag-
ing alike to the parties and to society at
large. A case Of unusual interest has lately
been tried at Port Townsend and decided ad.
versely to the prayer of the applicant. The
public are we'll advised as to the high social
position of the parties. In the examination
of the case before Judge Wyche, the facts
brought out fully exonerated the injured hus-
band, and the fault was found to rest about
equally with the erring wife and c. B. Dar-
win, district judge of Washington Territory.
The base in crate and would be seducer is
manifestly guilty of destroying the peace
and blighting the honor of once happy
household. Now, that bis vileness is fully
known, it is presumed that he will retire
from his Office and sneak out of the country
For he, surely, can not be SO stupid as to
suppose that his official acts will be accepta-
bic, or his foul presence tolerated by any
virtuous and respectable people. His lep-
rous touch will be Stunned by every decent
man and woman in the Territory. But all
this is the legitimate fruit the "harmonial
philosophy" the leading advocates of which
dare publicly. to curse the institution of
marriage, and boldly to affirm that woman
has "right to choose different father for
each successive offspring that she bears p
The Judge, no doubt, had discovered that
Mrs. w. was his "afinity." Thus it is,
and will evor be, when the teachings of
Christianity are discarded Libertinism and
inGdelity must disrupt society, for they are
manifestly the doctrines of devils. Oregon

pie will, perhaps sometime learn that they
