And this vailandigham is the patriotic

Any decent negro, who ever carried mus.
ket in defence cfthe Starr and Stripes, would
blush to be caught marching under orders
from vsllaadigham, and vt there are some
g White Boys in Blue 7 that are SO destitute
Of shame a. to boast Of their utilization with
The copperheads and Rebels under such lead
ership, against the victorious leaders Of the
Union Armies.
Tx Democracy hereabouts are almost as
mad over the recent Republican victory in
Maine % thsy we're soms years ago at Grant I
victory q vicksburg, and Sherman's capture
of Atlanta.
And they have equal reason to be, for this
victory 10 Maine il - sure harbinger Of

% those were.
The proposition tia. government may
withhold ! portion Of the interest which il
has contracted 70 pay, BY calling it . tax, was
thus eoncissly disposed Of BY Alexander
Hamilton. He put the question in this
shape:
tacit reservation Of the general right Of the
Lo&300S0f0S 10 raise CONTRIBUTIONS OH tDe
property Of the State?f
And answered:
This can not be supposed, because it in
ton to do, aud right not to do An obliga-
ton to pay certain sum, aud a right to re
tain il in the shape Of tax. 1t is agains,
the rules, both Of law and reason, to admit,
By implication, 10 the construction of con.
tract, principle which goes in destruction
of it.
Further on he remarked:
"When the government enters into con.
tract With an individual, il deposes as to the
matter OF the contract its constitutional au-
thority, and exchanges the character Of leg
islatof for that Of moral agent, with the
sAmo rights and obligations % IN individual.
Its promises may be Justly considered as ex-
cepted ont Of its power to legislate, unless
in aid Of them. II is, in theory, impossible
TO reconcile the two ideas Of promise which
obliees with power to make law which
can vary the effect Of it. This is the great
principle that governs the question, and
abridges the general right Of the government
to lay taxes; excepting out Of it q species OF
property which subsista only in its promises. :
A New MAS.-The following passage is
from speech made few days eince by Mr..
James A. Briggs of New York city, q, Bath,
Name:
1.-THE Republicans propose to elect new
man President Of the United States on the
Sd day Of next November in the person Of
the able and accomplished soldier who led
the armies Of freedom to victory, and who is
the standard bearer Of party that never fur
nished man to fire bullet ct the flag of his
II L. - g.
new man. This is true, and we have this
consolation: he is not only O new man who
has appeared in human history to astonish,
beSilder and amaze those who have driven
20 hong that they believe the rens of govern
ment belong exclusively TO them. David was
new and quite 3 young man, and had no
experience even 10 arms, when deliyerer Of
his wonderful people was needed, and he
went out to meet the Goliath Of his day, who
had 'de6ed the God Of the armies Of Israel,
and without any boaeting slew him. The
King and the captains Of the host could not
tell whose son is this youth But they soon
found out; for David said in reply to Saul,
who asked him, Whose son art thou, thou
young MANI i am the son of thy servant
Jesse, the Bethlemitei And this new man,
who was nominated for President at Chicago
By the unanimous voice Of his great and pa>
triotic party, when some old fogy, who years
ago should have been embalmed and placed
in the great mummy chamber Of defunct pol
iticians, shall ask, Whose son art thou,
thou young man. will answer him, I am
the son Of Try ssrrant Jesse, the Tanner and
what tanning he will give the Democrats
next November Now Ulysses is like unto
DGcid, for we are told, David went out
whithersoeyer saul sent him, aud behaved
himself wisely: and Saul set him over the
men Of war, and he was accepted in the sight
Of all the people. Aud thus It is with Gem
eral Grant.
