but the subject of exhorbitant taxa
ton is presented in such light as
must recommend the article to the
favorable consideration of the masses
of the people, who are interested in
a reduction of taxation. The great
danger to be apprehended in refer
ence to the passage of the Tariff Bill
is, that Congress will listen more to
the opportunities of the manufac-
turers and interested SPECTATORS than
that it will give proper consideration
to the wants of the people. This. is
no time to be studying the wants of
the rich manufacturers, when the
whole country is demanding some re-
lief from the present high prices of
commodities. We need no protective
tariffs; the Eastern and PennsvIva-
MIA capitalists ought by this time to be
able to take care of themselves IF
they cannot, it is too late row
to ask for aid. All that should he
demanded now are import and inter
nal taxes high enough simply for
the financial wants of the Govern
ment, and to this end the laws
should be so framed as 70
Tighten the burden of taxation on the
articles of prime necessity and gencr-
al use. We are very free to saw to
the present Congress that the people
of the West will hold it to strict
account if it should forget the inter
ests of the whole country and the
wants of the masses, and give way to
the general clamor which the Prolec-
tionists are making for additional
burdens upon imported goods of gen

The GENERAL OPINION. letter
to the Springfield (Mass.) Republican

says.
What Mr.. Ashley's purposes NAV
be, | know not, but it so happens that
he IS not the House of Representa-
tives, and his plans are not sure of
success. The Judiciary Committee is
made up of Republicans with extreme
opinions, but it will do nothing rashly.
[ don't believe there is one chance IN
a hundred that this extremely radical
committee will recommend impeach-
ment. Even if they were to do so.
unless the facts were to be shocking,
the House would not adopt its report.
My opinion, therefore, (take it for
what it is worth, more or less). is that
there Is just about one chance in a
hundred that the House will vote i'm
parchment, and one -in. a thousand
that the Senate WouldAconvict If the
House were to impeach. In short,
there is much greater chance that the
President will be struck by lightning
than that he will be impeached and
removed either by the Thirty-ninth or
Fortleth Congress. How comes it
that such men as Fessenden. Grimes
Sherman, Dawes, Garfield, Morrill,, |
Hooper and other solid, sober Re- |
publicans are against the policy of i'm
parchment? Because they think it |
will end In failure, and that failure in
the movement might mean failure in
the Presidential movement of 1868.
believe that these men will triumph
rather than the Ashleys and Chan
Hers"

The President and the OolOred Men.

The President and the COlOred Men.
A few days ago, several intelligent
colored men from North Carolina had
a long interview with President
JOHNSON. One of them had been
ANDY's playmate in youth, in his ma
tive State, and brought to the recol-
lection of the President number of
familiar incidents with which his Ac-
cidency was amazingly pleased. They
told him frankly that there was but
one remedy for our national evils, and
that was the ballot for the colored
man-that until this was secured, the
rebel element would pefsecute and
punish them without limit. He
answered by simply declaring that he
was their best friend, and that " ten
years would not pass before they real
lied it. " To which one of them re-
piled, Ten years! why, in that time
We shall all be dead! How is
that?" asked the President. BE
cause, was the rejoinder, under the
influence of your policy, and encour-
aged by your counsels, our people are
being murdered daily in cold blood"
Do not blame me for it" said the
President; " if it is true, as you say,
those who are responsible for your
suferings are such men as SUMNER
and STEVENS" Nothing daunted.
however, the colored man came back
at the President, and remarked, with
overwhelming force, well, no matter
who commits these crimes, the fact
that they are being committed
is no longer denied, and therefore,
you, as President of the United States,
IRE bound to afford as protection.
There could, of course, be no reply to
such an argument. J.
