THE DEMOCRATIC ViEw.-The Louisville

clear and unmistakajle light Speaking for
the Kentucky and Southern Rebel Democra-
cy generally, it says:
''Greenbacks are bat an incident Negro
suffrage is but an incident. The gist OF the
matteris, shall five men embracing the Recon
structiOn Committee, rule Us with Il rod of
iron, or shall the people rule ? The Radicals
seek to obscure this real question They
seek 10 keep it out of sight But it is en-
braced In the simple proposition If Grant
gets majority Of the electoral votes of the
Northern States, where there is likely to be
fair election, why, well and good but if
he fails to get majority of the Northern
electoral votes, and Congress attempts to
make up deficit by a machine of its own
creation in the South, then we fight. The
sooner the people toe the line the better
TAXATION OF NATIONAL SECURITIES.
Hon. John A. Bingham addressed large
concourse of people on Saturday week at
Wheeling, West Virginia Amongst other
striking passages in his speech we note the
following:
In the words of your Supreme Court of
',o - oitcu ttdteS, utteieu iOilg ago through
the lips of John Marshall, in case that
will live as long. as our language lives,
when you admit the authority of a State
to tax you admit its power to tax without
limitation If, therefore, the State of South
carolina may tax to- morrow your national
securities one per cent, on the same princi-
pie they may tax them 30 per cent and
defy any man to show remedy against the
grievance. If States are permitted to tax
your national securities they may be taxed
out of existence as fast as you issue them.
Such power in States is incompatible with
the nation existence.
