The ITURBIDEs.-The following from the Paris
Independent, in reply to an article in the Journal
de Liege, explains about the young Iturbides:
Our contemporary is probably not aware that
the Emperor lturbide had more than one descend
ant. The young prince referred to by it was born
Of the marriage of another son of the Emperor
Iturtide and an American lady, q Circumstance
which gave rise TO some objections from the
United states when there was a question OF the
adoption of that child by the Emperor Macmillan.
AS 20 the prince who was engaged in the Pontif-
csi Z0uayes, he is also the grandson of the En-
peTOr lturoide, and is, therefore, cousin Of the
one above mentioned. he is an orphan, having
lost both father and mother, and was educated st

A more backward spring than the present. says
the Greensboro Beacon, has not been experienced
In Alabama, II our memory serves US correctly,
for many years past. The more forward fruit
trees, such as the plum and the early peach, are
usually in bloom here by the goth of February.
This spring they did not begin to bloom till the
9Th to the lOsh Of March; and as we now write,
the l2th there are very few plum trees in aOy-
thing like full bloom. The bsckwardness OF the
spring, though it operates unfavorably upon the
planting interest, will probably insure to US an
abundant fruit crop, which we have not had for
the last two years.

THE So CALLED CoEsTITUuoE.-Th st. Charles
(Caleasieu parish) Echo thus speaks Of this abor-
ton:
The new Constitution contains the germ of its
own speedy and irrevocable destruction. The
vigorous and fearless protest against II by Judge
Crawford, the delegate from Ouachta and Cald-
well, is the most truthful and impressive CON.
mentary on is mOnstrous njastice and absurdity
that can be expressed in so many words.
So also the MarksYille (AvoyelIes parish) Vii.
lager says:
We place ourselves squarery "sgainst the Con-
stituti0n," and We viii use our best endeavors to
secure its defeat. We invite the cooperation of
oil good and law.abiding men to use and to exert
their influence to secure the rejection of that
Infamous instrument.

Still Voting for Stevens.

Every body has laughed at the story, that
in Berks county, certain Democrats continue
to vote for General Jackson at every recur~
ring Presidential election. OF course it is a
gross SANDER on the intelligent Democracy of
that grand old county; but it is rather good
sort of political joke.
The Radicals Of Lancaster county, do
propose, however, in all seriousness, to nomi-
nate Thaddeus Stevens corpse for Congress
on Saturday next. An order to that effect
has been issued over the signature Of the
Chairman Of their County Committee, from
which we make the following extract:
The undersigned, therefore, after consul
tation with members OF the County Committee
and other friends, would suggest that as a
fitting tribute Of respect to tho memory of
our most able and distinguished Champion of
Freedom and Justice. the unanimous vote of
the party be cast for the name of Thaddeus
Stevens at the ensuing primary meetings"
We not prepared to assert that it is the
purpose of the Radicals Of this district to
elect the corpse. We believe they only
propose to nominate it After having done
that they will probably burn it with all due
solemnity. and then the row among the small
fry politicians, who aspire to take the place
of the dead man, which has already begun,
will 60 on with great energy. The fight will
be exciting and bitter in the extreme. The
readers of the Iuteitgencer will be kept fully
posted in regard to all its developments.-
Lancaster Zntcligeucer.

POLITICAL.

- The Radicals are afraid to let the DEM
ocrats in because they will show the people
how rotten Government finances are.
- The chance of carrying Kansas for the
Democrats, improves every day. There has
been large emigration of people there who
can read and think for themselves recently,
and the prospect is fair for reduction and
conquest Of the slim Radical majority of 1906
last year.
During the war the Radicals insisted
that the President was the Government Now
they are running man with no ideas for Pres
ident: This puts their estimation Of the Gov
eminent at high rate.
- The Secretary of the, Grant Club at
Media, Pennsylvania, j. NJ. Borrell, has
resigned his place, joined the Democracy,
and taken the stump for Seymour and Blair.
At a late Democratic meeting in Fayotte
county, Ohio, the principal speakers were
Judge Briggs and Col Cornell, who have
both heretofore been staunch Republicans.
Col. Gardiner, of EImira, New York, a
prominent Republican leader in that locality,
has written a strong letter to Gen. Slocum,
heartily endorsing Seymour and Blair.
- Hon. Charles Morris, of Miami county,
Ohio, elected as a Radical to the State SEN
ate, has formally renowned all allegiance to
Grant and his party.

The Taxes Of the American People.

The New York Herald, laying down the
proposition that the people of the United
States are the heaviest taxed people in the
world, thus sustains its assertion:
1.-The income of the General Government
last year, reckoning from June 80, 1867, to
June 80, 1868. was over 46O ,UOO,U 900 This,
too, in time Of peace, and three years after
the war was closed. If we take the British
Government, the most expensive Of any in
the world, and which has a much larger debt
than any other, by way of comparison, we
shall see that our national revenue and taxes
exceed those Of Great Britain. The total
revenue of England from all sources rarely
reaches $4,000. 900 sterling, or 10000, 900.
This is $50, 900, 900 less than ours, nOtwith-
standing the debt is about double the amount
of the interest bearing debt of the United
States, and the English have besides to sup
port costly royal establishment, an expensive
army and navy, and the vast machinery of
government over colonies and territories cover
ing fifth of the habitable globe. We might
make a comparison with the other great
nations and empires of the world, and show
still greater difference in the cost of govern
ment between them and this country; but
England is the most costly, and more to the
point. Yes, our republican government taxes
the people S69, 100000 year more in time
of peace than the monarchical and eGpen-
sive government of Great Britain does the
British"
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1868-08-25
TO WHAT WE ARE TENDING.

GEN. FRANK BLAIR, in a recent speech at
Leavenworth, Kansas, gave it as his opinion
that the reason why Sherman and Sheridan
who were heretofore Democrats in
favor of Grant, a military candidate, for the
Presidency, was because his election would
secure the ascendency of the military power
in this country. They supported him for the
reason that it would bring into prominence
in the direction and in the formation of the
character of our government military men
in short that it would be giant stride towards
military despotism. Gen. Blair warned the
people against this projected movement to
subvert the Republican institutions of the
country, and erect upon their ruins colossal
armed power, which would sweep away their
liberties, and bind them with the bayonets
to do the bidding of their mailed masters.
When we contemplate, says the Cumberland
Aueganian, the character of the legislation
of Congress, which places under the sword of
Grant the entire South-which subordinates
every right the people ever enjoyed, either
political or judicial, to the behest of man
who confesses, and truly so, that he has no
political knowledge or policy, and who is the
candidate of that party for the Presidency,
we must concede that the apprehension Gen.
Blair expresses is not the result of nervous
fear, but the conclusion to which every logical
mind must come.
Gen. Blair further warned these Radical
easily attained as they might tkinks that a
preponderance of one million of democratic
votes in the United States would not tamely
submit to such monstrous usurpation. and
that whatever consequences might follow the
attempt of the Radicals to destroy the forms
of constitutional government, would rest upon.
them and them alone.
