Taxpayers and BondhoIders.

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 9th
inst, contained two columns of cuts very
suggestive to taxpayers. One repre-
sented the poor man weighted almost
to the ground by burdensome taxation,
and groaning out: aMy God, how can !
support M family and pay these taxesf
Ny back is almost broken under the bur-
den. It is enough that I pay my OWE
taxes without paying the rich bondhold-
ers."
Another represents soldier, holding
in his hand package Of greenbacks say
ing: ST took these for the sacrifices ]
made for the country, and by -, they
are good enough for the bondhOlder, who
only loaned money at big interest, and
pay no taxes on them.
a One-legged soldier comes next on the
list. In his hand be held his pension
81 take these green5acka for my pension
and I think they arc good enough fol
the feather-bed bondholder."
a corpuleut bondholder in his cush'
toned chair, taking The preseuthard times
easily, says: 81 put my money in bonds
don't pay any taxes on them. All thai
lind of work Is done bv those who dom
hold bonds. They may pay mine ant

The last Represented taxpayer de
claiming against unjust taxation: ut j

Impeachment of the prasjdenf--
WAR; Wade to be President Un-
Gil 1872.
The following bill passed the House
of representatives. on ,tlne 9th ult. It
sovides that "a case Senator Of the
United States becomes President, by
reason of having been President pro tenn.
OF the Senate, ana his term Of Office as
suen Senator shall expire before the next
Presidential election, as provided by law,
such Senator shall, notwithstanding the
expiration Of his term as Senator, eontin-
! re to hold the Office Of President until
his successor is elected and qualified, at
the time regularly prescribedby law, and
the Office of such Senator shall be vacated
from and after the time he shall become
President as aforesaid.
The sequel to that is very plain; SO
plain that no one need be Mistaken -
The Radicals in Congress arordeter-
mined to impeach President ] Johnson, ey-
idence or no evidence, and declare the
Presidential chair vacant. What next?
Benjamin F. Wade ssby reason of hav-
ing been President pro tenn of the Senate,
will Immediately assume the Office and
duties of President. The Radicals con-
Ifdently believe that this action win forcs
President johnson to resort to force o.
farms, to uphold the Constitution and re.
Igain the position swroDgfully wrested
from him.
/ The country is at war from Maine &c
IOregon. Wade is in the White House
acting President, and will continue to hello
the office OF President until his successor i
|elected and qualified, AT THE TIME REaU
LARLY PRESCRIBED By LAW"
With such war as the Radicals con.
template, (neighbor against neighbor,) il
will be impossible to hold Presidentia
election in 1863, CAT THE TIME REGULAR,
LIZ PRESCRIBED BY LAW" And the mex
| time "REGULARLY PRESCRIBED BY LAW
will not be until the month of November
1921
1t is absolutely certain that this PERM.
cious Legislation by Congress contains the
hidden meaning we have attached to it
and that is, reiterated, that Benjamin F.
Wade shall, (wheu johnson is impeach.
ed,) become base thing, usurper, and be
continued in thatrole until the year 1872;
unless, before that time, those battling
for the Constitution prove the strongest
in battle and overturn the base Rump
reared upon the ruins Of the American
Republic.
Reader, this is nochimera, but exactly
what the present Congress has been. and
lis. preparing for. To retain power BY
provoking the President to q collision
! they are determined, and thus prevent
the election and Inauguration of Dem.
locratic President.

own party retired Mr.. Vallandigham and
the people will retire the rag man Pen
dleton in November next.-Morgan Co.
Herald.
Let as see how the people Of Morgan
County feel on the subject of retiring
Mr.. PENDLEToN in November next. A
correspondence to the Cincinnati Eaquirer,
dated McConnel.syille, January u, 1868,
says:
"The frst gun in the campaign of 1868;
|Pendleton victorious; the bondholders
routed; gallant service as Captain in
Old Abe's war for the destruction of the
Constitution and civil liberty, no passport
for Office; tie Republicans who voted
against the negro amendment are with
the Democrats; gain of fifty-four since
the October election for the Democrats;
a square, stand.up fight with full vote.
'On Saturday, the 18th inst, spiri-
ted election was held in McConnellsville,
the county seat of Morgan County, for q
Justice Of the Peace for Morgan Town
ship For many years past the Repub-
licans have had from eighty five to one
hundred majority At the last October
election Hayes had majority of forty
one, and there was majority OF seven.
teen against the negro amendments. The
Democrats now elect their candidate by
majority Of thirteen, making net gair
since October of ffty.four' votes on !
straightand square fight on party grounds
alone, each party going into the contes
with their banners flying and theirstron
gest men as candidates.
"0n Friday morning, the day befor.
the election, the bonaholders and Radica
organ came out with a long leader calling
upon the Union voters to stand by thei
colcrs. or it would be claimed as Dem
ocratic victory. The Democratic candi
date was held up before them as an enc
| my to the credit of. the Government, hav
ing been one of the leaders in the las
cam paign. The name of a gallant Cap
Itain who had, during the war, resigne,
I his Office as Justice Of the Peace, an,
met the wicked rebels on the field 0
slaughter, and had tasted the delights 0
i Andersonyille, was held up to the admi
ring gaze of the bondholders and the ne
i gro loving Union voters, who came GU
in their strength, rallying their Who'll
forces, but, alas, the taxpayers and la
I borers met With them, and their gallan
captain was as badly used up the day b
entered the renowned Andersonyille. !
That sounds more like retiring Die
tator Grant, the man, who by the pre-
visions of the latest reconstruction bill
is made King in the ten seeded State
and whom you favor for the Pres
deney.
