We commend the above honest and
just sentiments to the consideration
offthe rebel Democracy of Kentucky
They should either follow the example
of Gen. LoNGsTREET, and submit to
the Congressional terms of RECONSTRUCT
ton, or accept his advice to leave the
country The, issue of the war did
determine, or ought to have deter
mined, that the conquerers should fix
the terms of readmission of the con-
quered to their forfeited rights as
citizens of the Government they had
fought to destroy. It is not becom-
ing in those who were in rebellion to
talk about the violations of the Con-
stitution, or the harsh terms OREGON
struction 1t is enough for them to
know that there is sufficient leniency
in Congress to allow them to be re-
constructed" at all. Their present
condition is, to use the words of Gen.
LoNGsTREET, one of the results that
belong to the hazards Of revolution; /"
and those who choose to remain in this
country should speed the work of
reconstruction, and mot @continue
their rebellion by factious Opposition
to the terms fixed by Congress, the
Representatives of the:loyal people of
the country, and the aw-making pow
er of the Government.

Taxing Government Bonds.

During the political campaign
that has just closed, the Democracy
of this State favored and urged, We
hemently, as one Of their measures,
the taxation by State legislation, OF
Government Bonds. They told
the people with artificial tears in
their eyes, that the poor people OF
the country we're forced to pay
about all the taxes, and that the rich
Bondholeers pay no taxes and
that if the people of Ohio would
only just elect them to seats in the
Legislature, they would relieve the
poor men of this immense burden
of taxes, and put the taxes upon
these rich Bondholders. They
would pass law taxing Govern
ment Bonds.
Well, now upon these pledges
their party has obtained u majority
in our Legislature, and the poor
people who have been promised
that they should be relieved from
paying taxes, will expect these dem
ocratic Legislators to fulfill their
pledges made before the election.
Will they do it, or will they, by fail
ure to do it, prove to the people
tnat these pledges were made only
for the purpose of deceiving the
people that they might get their
votes? ? 1t is true they may pass Il
law to tax these bonds, but can they
force the collection Of such taxes ?
Can the State of Ohio enact laws
and enforce them, violating Il con
tract between the National Govern
ment and the individuals from
whom the Government has borrow
ed money given its obligations and
terms OF payment?
