OoIfax on Grant.

Schuyler ColfaX was last
fall an aspirant for the Radi-
cal nomination for President
in opposition to III. u, alias
u. S. Grant. Colfax himself,
or some of his friends at his
request, issued a circular en-
titled, Sixteen Reasons why
our Republican Party should
not run General Grant for
President in 1863" im
OF these reasons the six
teenth and last was as follows:
Because Illinois gave us
the Immortal Lincoln, and
Indiana offers our most Avail
able Candidate meaning of
course, the Hon. Schuyler
| Colfax. N als7
q Out of the fifteen remain-
ing reasons given in this
EColfax circular, why Grant
should not be nominated for
President by the Radicals,
we select the six following:
Il. He (Grant) has all he
deserves at the hands Of the
American people. fas 9

These reasons of Colfax
why Grant should not he run
for President, are strong, con-
and every one Of them
undeniable. We commend
them to the serious and pray
erful consideration of our
friends.

Taxing Bond.

The NeV York Tribsae is some.
what agitated on the subject of
Bond Taxation. So are the people.
The Tribune says it is anconstilu-
tional to Tax them. twill be diff
fcult to convince the people that it
is Constitutional to tax one kind of
property and unconstitutional to
tax another. About one-ffth Of the
property of the country is exempt
from taxation. If Congress has the
constitutional power to exempt from
taxation one-fifth of tho property,
it has the constitutional right to ex-
empt the entire property of the
country from taxation. If all the
property were exempted from tax
alton, the Government could not be
run. Congress-is under implied
obligations to the people TO make
every particle of the property of
the country contribute equally to
the support of the Government-to
makesthe taxes equal. If there is
no constitutional power to do this,
the subject will be agitated until an
Amendment isincorporated into the
Constitution to tax Bonds, or the
Bonds will ultimately berepuliated.
The tax mustbe madelighter. That,
is self-evident proposition.
