The rssue Made.

The Radical sheets do not seem to agree
in regard to the lesson TO be dcduced from
the Connecticut election. Some attribute
it to the FREQ use of money--some to the
nomination of Conservative men by the
Democrats, aud some to other causes
Tho New York Tribune, however, sets it
down 10 cowardice TO and want Of devotion
to principle on the part of the Mongrel
leaders. They did not come squarely and
fairly up. according to philosopher Gree
ley, to the only legitimate and remaining
issue, universal equality Of oil races
Here is what he says:
aThc lesson must not be lost. Hence.
forth, the Republican party Jrom 81.
John 10 he Pacific Is a unit for universal
Liberty and Impartial Suffrage, regard
less of caste, race or collar. Those who
are hostile to this principle will 60 70 their
own places as judas did,"
The Times Of this morning catches up
tho cry and deals some sever thrusts at
the cowardice and dishonesty Of the Mon.
grcl leaders for ignoring the issue at the
coming contcst-characterizing their con.
duct as "dcbasiug soryility." "For our
selves" cxclaims tho Times, tive believe
frankly. fully and forever in equal suffrage
among loyal mon, irrespective of color"
That is to any Let diggcrs, niggers, coolies
and white Radicals vote, but us for "cop-
perbcads," whom they have ever charac.
tcrized as traitors, they must stand aside
for tho Lords anointcd. Now this is a
very nice little arrangement, but anfort.

folk and viii not only vote themselves,
but intend TO deny hat right TO the infe-
rior aud debased hordes of both Asia and

Addressing the Democratic Editors of
Oregon, the last Unionist says:
"You all came to this country emissaries from
the camp of rebellion and the council chamber OF
treason. You all came among Us With the blood
Of Union men on your skirts, and the hatred Of
the Union in your hearts"
So far as we are concerned these charges
are utterly false. It is o lie that we came to
Oregon as pc emissary from the camp of
rebellion and the council chambers of treason.
1t is a lie that we came to Oregon with the
''blood Of Union men, +" or indeed ofany one,
on our SKIRTS, It is adie that we hate the
Union,
We are, and have been, anxious to get
along smoothly, with the Radical editor. of
Oregon hence on several occasions we nave
refrained from noticing their filings; butwhen
a man, private or public, makes charges like
the above, re shall not let them quietly
pass. IF the editor Of the Dissatisfaction
we have heretofore aimed TO treat with due
editorial courtesy and respect-had said that
it is his belief that we came from the camp
Of rebellion and treason; that we came with
the blood Of Union men on our skirts and
that we hate the Union, We should not have
uttered a word Of complaint, He has Alright
to believe what he pleases, on proper proof
but when he makes these charges Hnqaali
6edly, as he has done, we brand him as Q
wilful and unmitigated liar. Our demo.
cratic contemporaries can defend themselves
Elsewhere the "Unionist' asserts that We
left Illinois when our Unreasonable senti
ments'' rendered US obnoxious to the PEG
ple.n This also is a p%oint-bIank lie. w
did not leave till the war was closed. w,
published a democratic paper, without in
PERMISSION, during the entire period of The
war; and we could now be occupying on
old post had we not seen fit to vacate it
When the war began our county gave between
four and five hundred Democratic majority
and. though it furnished over two Regiment
Of soldiers for the federal army-two-third
of whom were Democrats-the Democrat
majority was not at all diminished when W
left.

TAxATIoS.-The people of the United
States were taxed, the past year, for Federal,
State and Municipal purposes, S763, 0O0, 900
more than double what England or France
paid, with a much smaller population and
not half the wealth of either. In Missouri,
during the few years of abolition misrule,
the taxes have been trebled, and so of all
municipal corporations under the wicked
sway of the Radicals. In Philadelphia,
where abolitionists have governed the city
for years, while the value Of the taxable
property has insreased but 1926, 80 in
seven years, tie city debt has in that time
been increased more than l9, 000, 0OO.. And
Chicago with a population not over Us 900,
last year paid taxes to the amount of $780,
900. No people on earth can long bear up
under such enormou taxation. And what
adds to the enormity of the outrage is the
fact that portion of our fellOw-eitizens-the
Misunderstanding about one. third of the
taxable property of the o. States, are ex-
.empted from taxation. While the toiIing
millions are straining every nerve to bear
up under their immense burdens, these
exempted bond holders, roll in ease and lux.
ury. This state of things cannot always
exist.

IMPORTANT FROM THE SPIRIT LAND
ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON THE STAEp.-A
spiritual paper, published in Atlanta,
prints the following, from Abraham Lin
coin, communicated through o female rap
per:
"Woe! woe! TO the departed spirit who
enters here, amid the follies of war: woe is
mine, that | was ushered into eternity amid
the conflict of o strife so bloody! My ac-
cusers! All my aocusers!-their faces rise
before me like the ghosts of Pandemonia !
Tie slain upon every battle field rise up
in mOckery of my happy hopes, and thus
| am compelled to live for q season; tho
destroyer of peace and prosperity; Of hus
man affection and happy associations
face to face with the sorely injured! / am
not taking too much blame to myselfwhen I
thus speak, for I was elected as the represen-
tative ola great nation, and as such should
have been guided by wisdom-that wis.
dom which is pure and p~eaceable, and in
jureth no man; but, fred with ambition
and national supremacy, / was blinded to
all her better Influences. In vain, I now
try to feel I acted to the bost of my 'abili,
ty: but conscience, with its still small
voice. INCREASINGLY whispers 'it is false"
That medium is no humbug.

THE INCOME TAx.-Commissioner Roll
ms has issued 10 the assessors quite q
number of instructions relating to the
amended internal revenue law, which is
now in operation. The following %instrnc-
ton, referring particularly TO the assess
ment of the income tax, will interest nu-
merous taxpayers:
Where physicians arc obliged to keep a
horsc for the transaction of business they
may deduct 20 much Of the expense in.
Cured as is fairly rcfcrable to the business
done.
Expenses for medical attendance, store
bills, are not proper subjects for dcduc-
ton. Expense for repairs Of implements,
tools &c, used for business, may be de-
Quoted.
Rent homestead actually paid may be
deducted, but the rental value of property
owned by the taxpayer is not a subject OF
deduction: but where the taxpayer rents
a furnished house, that portion Of the rent
paid in consideration of the use of the
furniture should not be allowed as a de-
duction.
Any person claiming q dsduotion on &C
count Of the expense for room rent must
satisfy the assessor that tho room or
rooms occupied by him constitute his
home, and he has no residence elsewhere,
and this being shown he may DO allowed
10 deduct yhat he actually pays for
rent of such rooms, but nothing can be al.
loved for the rent of furniture or care oil
rooms. When rent is included and de.
Quoted as an expense Of business it must
not be again deducted as rent, nor should
a person hiring q house aud sub. letting q
portion of it be allowed to deduct more
than the excess of his payments over hi.
receipts.
Marriage fees, and gifts from a con
gregation to their pastor, DC, are taxable
as income when the gifts and donation,
arc IN the nature of compensation for ser
vices rendered, whether in accordance
with az understanding to that effect a
the time OF settlement or With an annua
custom.
Citizens of the United States, rcsidin.
abroad are subject to tax upon their en-
tire incomes from all sources whatever
and the same is true of foreigners residing
in this country.
The law provides that q like tax shall
be levied, collected and paid upon th,
gains, profits and incomes Of every bust
ness, trade or professions carried on il
the United States by persons residin,
without the United States and not citizen
thereof.

PRENTIoE.-George D. Prentice, of
the Louisville Journal, plants himself
squarely on the Democratic platform
He says: I'VE heartily endorse, so far
as we have seen, every platform laid down
by the Democracy of the North, Middle,
Western and Northwestern States. We
are for the cessation of all military law.
and tor the universal restoration of the
great writ of freedom; we arc for the an
nulment of all con6scations; VIC are for
equal powers and rights and privileges
of the whole people Of the old Union; we
are for the unconditional pardon of parol-
ed C~onfcdeiates who have kept their
faith; we arc for the immediate unlocking
of the prison doors to all prisoners held
in captivity upon the charge of treason,
and we are for the establishment of the
Republic upon the plan which our noble
President has recommended and is exerting
oil his energies to carry put. II to be in
favor of all these things is to be a Demo
crat, then we are a Democrat-an earnest
and Eeclous Democrat-alI the time o
Democrat, and ready cooperate with all
who are ready to cooperate with u.s."

THAT 0ATH.-'I am sincerely and ear

eminent of the United States, and will
steadfastly support the Constitution and
obey the laws, and induce others to yield
support and obedience thereto"
That is the re gistration oath ordained
by Congress for The people Of the South
ern States. We believe the vast majority
Of those who we're in the rebel armies
could take it with a clear conscience. No
one VINO reads the letter of General Beau
regard can fail to be impressed with the
belief that be who fred the FIRST gun in
tho rebellion could subscribe to the above
oath without anY mental reservation.
But, how would it be With Charles Sum-
ncr and Thaddeus Stevens, and the horde
of fanatics who follow in their wake I
Could one Of them conscientiously take
the oath they prescribed Not, we believe
before God, without staining their souls
with the crime of perjury. When they
are doing all they can to prevent a rcstor-
alton of the Union, how could they are
sincerely and earnestly attached to it?
How could they take a solemn oath that
they are attached to a form government
which they are constantly laboring to des-
troy What one of them could pledge
himself under the sanctions ola oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States and continue to act with the praty
in Congress? Not one. The great ma.
jority of the rebels in the South, if jud.
ged by the very standard prescribed by
the Radicals in Congress, are more loya
to-day than any man among them in either
the House or the Senate.-CLancastel

GERRIT SMITH ON IMPEACHMENT.
In his recent letter Gerrit Smith says :
II greatly wonder that the noble and
clear-eyd Wendell Phillips, who is always
working with clean edged tools, should
urge Congress to undertake with It's dirty
hands tho impeachment of the President.
The undertaking would carry with it no
moral power and therefore do no good.
There would be nothing IN il to inspire
and elevate the people, but much to dis
gust and degrade them. E would pass
but for an ~unprincipled party movment.
It would not prevent a hazardous popular
commotion-but would excite it.

Ground sweIls.

Revolutions never go backwards. The
change, in the public mind, is so man.
ifest there is no installing il. From all
parts of the country, with few and unim-
portant exceptions, the indications Of a
complete change in public sentiment are
decided. The country is becoming thor
oughly disguised with Radical rule and
its destructive, revolutionary tendencies.
We will briefly chronicle a few facts in
support of this:
In Hartford, Connecticut, just a week
after the State election, occurred the city
election. The result is a Democratic gain
of $50 votes over the Democratic majority
of the previous week.
In Davenport, Iowa, the Democrats
gain 1,400, turning a radical majority of
700 into a Democratic majority Of 700.
This is a wonderful achievement, aud
shows co~nclusively such a change as must
be felt all over the State.
The Fulton County (Ill.) Democrat
says that the township elections in that
county, on the second, resulted in almost
every township either in increased Dem.
Ocratic majorities or in decreased repuh-
lican majorities. In one township tho re-
publican majority was reduced about $50;
in another, about 100.
The township election in Rock Island
township, including the city, resulted in
a complete Democratic victory, every off,
Ger elected being a Democrat. The ma
%jorities ranged from "a to "a.
The Democratic majority in Columbus,
Ohio, is three times as great as it was two
yaeFs ago. We have carried Chillicothe,
by a majority of FIVE hundred, a gain of
two hundred over last fall.
The Democracy of Springfield, Illinois,
have carried their ticketip handsome style.
Compared with Logan's vote last fall, the
Democracy of Springfield township have
made a gain of 257 votes, coming out with
a clean majority of IA.
Centralia, ILL.,, is also redeemed by the
Democracy, who. at the late election, car
ried their Mayor into Office by a majority

in eight years.
