voters. Rulers and Tax.payers.

No taxation without representation!
Hs hal See the Declaration of INDIE
pendence, aud the history of the Amerl-
can Colonies. We lately published an
account FROM South Carolina. showing
what amount of taxes was paid in that
State by the Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Secretary of State and other Off
GERS, in all amounting to sixteen dollars
and nineteen cents, out of upwards OF
two millions required from the people to
sustain that blessed government of
liberty to all to do as they please, except
tax-payers and white folks. Some Of our
friends at Nashville should make the
same figures as to Tennessee officials. AS
to this county, where women and children
tremble for their safety and pass sleep
less nights, and where any man may sleep
sound if he will with an armory in his
room, and few pistols under his pillow
and spring traps at bis door, and where
to sustain the abundant blessings of gov
eminent by the most ignorant and
vicious selections from our population,
we have to pay only about seven hun
bred thousand dollars a year, the Ard-
laneAe this morning gives the following
list of taxes paid by the principal Off
GERS of the county, whose combined
salaries amount to fifty thousand dollars
A wear. These are the fruits Of Radical
misgoyernment, as compared with the
government of our fathers, which are
rapidly extending themselves to the
North. and will soon embrace the whole
country, if not arrested by the resolute
determination Of the people Of all Sec
tons. At the rate we are progressing
the scalawags themselves will soon
desert the South for impoyerishment, as
