THE REGISTRY LAW.
This regard as one Of the grossest insults and
outrages that was ever heaped upon free people,
| and calculated to delraud thousands of bona jiGe
voters out OF their rights. 1t is contrary TO the
genius and spirit of Republican institutions ii
smells Of rotten Royalty and aristocratic govern
ments, where poor men are slaves, and rich ones
are tyrants. 1t is unbccoming an enlightened age
aud free people, andwas gotten up by the old re-
vcngelul Know-Nothing party to disiranchlse the
foreign vote, their hatred 10 all foreigners show
ing itself npon every occasion. This Registry
Law is a "pet measure' OF the Radical party of
this State. Our naturalization laws good

repeal this infamous Registry Law among the
first acts OF the party when it gets into power.

| TAXATION.
This is a subject .hat directly interests us all.
The people are oppressvely taxed, it is running
them and casting Il damper upon the industry OF
the State. We must have complete and thor
ough reform in every branch Of the State and
County governments. Stopping all leaks and
foolish expenditures, or ruin and bankruptcy will
be the result of all this profgacy. Every officer,
no matter how low or high the position he may
fill, should be held to a rigid accountability OF his
stewardship. Taxation should be made equal and
uniform, bearing its burthens alike upon all.
The best governments are those that govern
the least, and have the lightcst taxes. am in
favor Of the most economical administration of
public affairs possible which comports
with the dignity and requirements of the Gov
ernment. And let us make all office seekers un-
derstand that Offices were moi instituted solely for
their benefit, but for the good of the whole COM
munity. And elect none but honest, upright,
capable men to places of honor and trust.
| TIE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD.
This is an institution, which so far as its nation
al character is concerned should receive our well
wishes and sympathy. We should all feel pride
in having this selected as the route, by which the
vast region lying east of the mountains is to be
opened up to commerce, and its riches developed,
by giving the hardy Pioneer the facilities for
transporting the necessares for supplying. his
wants. All large Corporations should have legal
restraints thrown around them, to prevent them
from encroaching beyond the limits intended, and
to protect outsiders from becoming prey to their
rapacity.
All Railroad property should by law, be subject
To the same taxation as that Of the citizen, there
