DEAR COLONEL: Your kind note and
invitation of yesterday was this morn
ing handed me by your brother-in-law,
who will hand you this one in return.
It would give me much pleasure to visit
YOU and your command before leaving
the Confederation, bat tits now tmpos-
sible to do so, as have made arrange
ments to start this morning with the
earliest train for Wilmington.
3 You surnise correctly when you say
that YOU BELIEVE ME TO BE A
FRIEND OF THE SOUTH IN HER
STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM. My
feelings have been publicly expressed
in my own country in the quotation
from Lord Chatham-''My Lords you
cannot conquer America 20 There is
not a drop of Puritan blood in my
veins. I HATE, DESPISE AND DE
Fly the tyranuical government which
has sent me among you for my opinions s
sake. and shall never give it my sup
port In its crusade upon your institu-
lions, But you are mistaken when you
say there are but few such IN the Onlted
states north. Thousands there are who
would speak out but for the military
despotism that strangIes them.
Although the contest has been and
viii continue to be bloody one, YOU
HAVE BUT TO PERSEVERE AND
THE VICTORY WILL SURELY BE
YOURS. YOU MUST STRIKE HOME.
The defensive policy 1engthens the con
test. The shortest road to peace is the
boIdest one. YOU CAN HAVE YOUR
OWN TERMS BY GIVING A BATTLE
ON THE ENEMY'S SOIL. ~
Accept my kind regards for your per
sonaI welfare, and sincere thanks for
your kind wishes in my behalf, AND
HOPING AND PRAYING FOR THE
ULTIMATE SUCCESS OF THE
CAUSE IN WHICH YOU ARE
FIGHTING, believe. me, Hs ever your

Enna1 Taxation.

The Columbus Journal brings to the
surface another beauty of the Democrat
10 policy of Equal Taxation, thus:
f THE Democracy insist that every
species of property eUerytisiR0, shall be
taxed, and taxed equally.
But this is not all. The Constitution,
Article 1, Section 2, declares,
Representative and taxes shall be
appOrtioned among the several States
which may be included within the Un-
nion. according to their respective
numbers, which shall be determined
by adding to the whole number of free
persons, inclndiug those bound to ser
vice for term of years, excluding In
dians not taxed, three fifths ofan other
persons"
Thus by this Democratic system of di-
rect taxation the apportionment for Ohio
Will be, not according 10 the amount of
her ia xable property, but according to.
the number of her Inhabitants, so that
Ohio with about half the real and per-
sonal property of Massachusetts, VIII
pay q tax four times greater than Mas
sachusetts, because her population is
double. A simple statement Of the
case shows the gross injustice of this 50
called equal taxation upon every spe.
cies of property, The Constitution Of
the United States permits the direct
taxes proposed, to be levied IN no other
way than the one pointed out. How
the system will operate upon the pOpu-
lous Western States, every voter ofcOm-
mon capacity can understand"

SeUeRth. Partly through devotion
to England, and partly in accordance
with the old policy of the Southern
aristoeracy, the Democratic party are
opposed to the annexation of Canada
and In favor Ofthe absorption of Mexi-
co. As republicans, anti monarehists,
and anti English citizens of the uni
ted States, the Fenians should oppose
a party whose policy is exactly the
reverse Of that which favors their in
terests and. wishes.
Eighth: Here is a speech going
the rounds Of the papers which has
not been explained nor refuted so far
as am aware, and therefore, | consid-
crit perfectly authentic. 1t was de-
livered By Frank Blair, at st. Louis,
In response to a Fenian serenade: I
'GENTLEAfEN; [ am with you
heart and soul, and heartily say, God
bless the Finnegans- A voice 'Fe-
mans, General / know what / am
talking about, and / say Finnegans.-
FLaughter and confusion 2 Aud I say
that I hope to see the cause flourish,
and prosper, and shall bless the day
when Ireland is governed by Irishmen.
[ accomplishing this laudable un-
dertaking / will do all / can to assist
you. I will place myself, if needs be,
ct your head, march with you to Stat
en- Island, oversee your embarkation.
will stand on the most elevated bluff
Of the eoast, and as you raise the green
emblem over the Stars aud Stripes,
while your steamers under full head
way are turning their prOWs to the
east, I will say, Good-by God
bless you. and may you be successful
In your undertaking May you lift
the British lion ont of bis boots, and
wrest from his grasp the emerald gem
of the sea; but whether or not yeO
shall succeed In this endeaYor may
you each and all remain in ireland or
and never again set foot
upon these shores You are wanted
there, and we can get along without
you r.
The man that spoke thus is un-
worthy of a single Irish vote. But
We are neither unreasonable nor i'm
placable. and General Blair would do
we'll to set himself right with us on
the matter, if he can.
Ninth August Belmont, the
Head Center of the New York De-
and the Chief Engineer Of the
Tammany Hall Convention, has been
openly charged in the public press
with swindling the Fenian Brother
hood, and making himself an accom-
pliee of England, in a most treacher-
Gus manner, a purely commercial and
transaction Are Irish
men made Of such sorry stuff as to sup
port party which is guided By their
neanest foe?

hundred of them have Joined the Grant

The Funding Bill.

What is the funding bill which the
Democratic party talk oboutP A prop
Osition to reduce the interest on the
national debt about City millions of
dollars \ ye9r-save that amount to
the taxpayers, and postpone the pay
meut Of the debt until the Southern
States have recovered from the ex-
haUstive effects of the Democrats re-
bellion, and are able to pay as much
towards the liquidation of the debt as
the people of the North. Who Is not
in favor of reducing the interest on
the bonds from SIX per cent. to four
per cenh.2 Who is not in favor of
making the rebels of the South pay a
portion of the debt2 That is lust
what the funding bill proposed to do.
1t extended the payment of the bond
edldebt to a time when the country,
North aud South, will have doubled
IN wealth, resources and population :;
to a time when the South will have
bee ONE prosperous and wealthy, and
can be made to pay their share Of a
debt incurred ia crushing their infer
nal rebellion. Who bat rebels doubt
that in forty years Ereenbaoks and
gold will be alike ia value, and then
what difference would It make to the
creditors of the Government whether
they receive their pay in greenbacks
or gold2 The funding bill would have
saved Fifty millions Of dollars a year
to the taxpayers of the country
Why did the democrats oppose it2-
Simply because it would have required
the rebels of the South to pay a por-
tion Of the debt-because it would
have quieted their howl about high
interest, and defeated their plan to re-
pudiate a debt contracted to save the
Marion LsdePcndent.

In August, 1853, Gen. Grant was ten
dered q public reception by the Cham
Der of Commerce Of Memphis. It was
the custom Of Gen. Grant to avoid de-

the occasion was one of deep interest in

serve the national cause, he concluded
to depart from his customary line Of
