The Progressive Party.

The Republican party makes no
idle boast when it claims to be
..moyressive.' Ever since it be-
came known that "old John Browns
soul was marching on'' that party
has marched on too--and in the
same direction. It's progress has
been most extraordinary. In less
time than one would have deemed
possible, it bas passed all the
intermediate stages of abolition,
Capitalization, negro supremacy and
usurpation, until now it has reached
Il c goal of .despotism. Starting
ont as essentially the Union party,
it soon arrived at point where
disunion became its avowcd policy
Starting out with assuming to be.
par excellence, a republican party,
it has in a marvelously short time
reached the point where monarch
zeal or oligarchical system begins.
The progress of the Radicals is
without regard to considerations of
right, justice, constitutionality or
patriotism In fact, the march is
directly over everything of the kind.
The idea with the leaders seems to
b. that the sooner they can take
the party, and with it the country,
to the devil the better. 10 the first
part of tie plan We can have no
possible objection. To the last we
seriously object.
Radicals boast Of this progress,
an refer tauntin:ly to the non pro-
yrcssivcness of Democracy.
Well, We arc content that Demo-
critic progress never oyerleaps the
barrier of the Constitution. Those
an.els who remained within the
hattlcments of heaven cogmend
themselves far more to our mind
than Lueifer and his followers whose
ideas of progress led them to 60 be-
yond the celestial barriers and bring
up in q place that shall be nameless.

Gazing Bonds.

The New York Times denounccs
those Republican members of Con-
grcss who voted to tax the interest
on Government bonds, as repudla-
tors. and asks this question:
Where is the difference, in
principle, between the exaction Of a
heavy tax on securities which were
subscribed Sor. and have been
bought and sold, on a solemn pledge
that they are non-taxable, and Il
compulsory process of conversion, or
payment Of greenbaeks instead of
gold -
There is no difference; they arc
both right and just. and will sooner
or later be done or the bonds will
sever be paid The contract made
by the Government, when the bonds
were issued, was that they should
not be taxed by state or municipal
authority mot one word was said
prohibiting the national government
from imposing tax upon them.
The farmer, who bought a farm and
/ IN in debt to improve it, has the
same right to claim that the general
government has no right to tax ev-
cry thing he raised upon it, because
the tax was not imposed when he
made his purchase, as the bondhold-
or las that there was no tax upon
his bond when he purchased it
Both the farm and the bonds arc
property, and should be subjected to
the same burthen Of taxation for the
support of the government. lfthere
is any difference it should be in ia
vor of the farm.
In the same article the Times
states what every one who has paid
any attention to National Legisla-
ton, knew long ago, to be strictly
true, that is. that there is scanty
faith in the judgment and integrity
Of our lawmakers in financial mat
;crs, which is as humiliatins as it is
disastrous.

Pay UD.

The sixth resolution of the Chi
cage Republican platform is as fol-
lows
THAT the best policy to diminish
our burden Of debt is to so improve
our credit that capitalists will seek
to LOAN us money at lower rates Of
interest than we now pay" &c.
The farmers, the mechanics and
laboring- men think that the best
way to relieve themselves of the
burden of debt and improve their
credit, is, to pay their debts as soon
as practicable, and save the interest
and pay them too, in the same cur
rency that they have to receive from
their debtors. This will apply as
we'll to the Government as to the
people, and is just what is meant by
the Democratic platform. There is
nothing that improves mans cred
it SO much as to pay his debts
promptly according to contract.

The Chicago Platform.

IF we were to express our opinion
e this construction as whole, we
shon,d feel compelled to say that
IT,, Convention had not exhibited
more than an average degree of sa-
gacity. either in the selection of
he subjects upon which to platform
izc, or in the II amer of their treat
mcnt. What there is in the sue
cess Of the reconstruction measures
upon which to congratulate the
country, We arc at loss to under
stand. Why negro suffrage should
be guaranteed to the South and not
guaranteed to the North, or upon
what principle it is to be thrust up
on the former and not upon the
latter, is equally incomprchcnsible.
TIE denunciation of all forms of re-
ruhiation Of the public debt, in the
third resolution. and the recon-
mendation to Congress tc reduce the
rate of iatcrest on it-which is re-
pud,ation in the same ratio with

walls in the party by which the debt
was created. The fourth. which
promises a reduction Of taxation as
soon as possible, is very encourag
ing in the face of a Legislative con-
duct which finds it impossible to re-
luce expenditure; and with the

STREET forms and economy in public
expenditure. will afford comfort to
an overtaxed people precisely in
proportion to their confidence. If
the Convention had had any sense
whatever, it would have left the
impeachment and the delinquent
Senators alone. OF the rest, there
will be an abundant time for their
discussions Gin. Enquirer.
