them Of quiet and peaceable lives
among us, ii they desire to lead such,
and OF such social intercourse as their
characters may, on development, enti-
tic them to receive, and that lands shall
be offered such at their value, as gov
crned by supply and demand, and the
general condition Of the country, which
is the true standard, whether in town
or country.

Government Wrong End Fore

From the Nashville Gazette.l

run VIC 4NdsuSlllc utlLcIJC.J
In recognition Of a natural right,
says the St. Louis Republican, the
Constitution Of the United States, and
the Constitution of each State, couples
taxation and representations" regard
ing them as inseparable in all Just gov,
eminent. A violation Of this natural
right, by the British Parliament, was
among the chief causes which drove
our fathers into revolution. 1t has
been regarded as unjust to tax a mans
property, thus compelling him to bear
the burdens of government, and at the
same time deny him any voice in the
government which imposes the taxes.
a., ,~o,.,uuicuL WHICH wii perpatuate
such a wrong, it has been argued, is
not only not entitled to respect, but
should be overthrow. But this is
precisely what the Radicals are doing.
Under their reconstruction policy,
they are committing this outrage, not
in one State only, but in all the States
subjected to the despotic domination
of their Congressional cnactments.-
Take, Us an example, Louisiana. One
of our soecial dispatches yesterday
morning says:
'.Returns from tie registrations in
Louisiana have been received at Gene
raj Grants headquarters, and show
that the colorcd voters in the State
have about 3 5000 majority"
BY the census of 1860 we learn that
the white population Of that State ex-
ceeded the colored in numbers by more
than twenty-five thousand. The result
produced, therefore, by the "registra'
tion," placing the colored voters in a
majority Of "about thirty-eight t!lous
and" is achieved by the arbitrary dis
reimbursement Of white voters, in NUN
bers sufficient TO put them in the minor
ity. Every one knows that, from the
very necessities Of the case, growing
out of Ahs=formev relations OF the two
races, tho whites are the owners OF
most, nearly all, Of the property, and
that. consequentay:they must pay the
taxes whicf support tie government.

upon the late elections in Kentucky ano

corning the former:
,,IIer returned rebel soldiers, fusine

says II IS really difficult to determine
the strength otthe hold which the revo-
luton has upon the popular mind, and
it remains to be seen how much furtli-
cr the country will so with them with

the grand hope of those who look for

the exercise ofthis authority by anoth-
er hand, and compelled to bow their
