" SHALL WE paw THE TAXES ~

After enjoying to some extent an immu-
nifty from paying taxes for several years,
the Democrats are beginning to ask the
above question. Il is asked in such a way,
too, as to leave but one answer as the most
likely to satisfy the querists. The people
of this State and city have been acting
upon the principle of Withholding taxes
from the public treasures SO long that
such thing as public credit is almost IN
known. A proposition at this time to refuse
to pay taxes amounts 10 one for suspend
ing the administration of the State govern
ment. The State can go on the credit system
no longer. When gentlemen make such
suggestions they council revolution. And
If the State were unable to protect them in
their legal rights, or fail to redress their
grievances, they would be as loud as any
IN their complaints. The mutual duties
existing between the Government and the
people can not be evaded without manifest
injury to both.
The question will then be answered in
the affirmative by all who feel the least
sentiment of pride in the good name of
Louisiana.

The Attakapa. Rer,.,.,.

We have received the second number Of
this new Republican paper, published in
Franklin by Messrs. Roberts and Joyner.
The advent of Union paper in the little
hamlet seems to have stirred up the rebels
to fresh acts Of violence. Before the second
number was printed, three men went to the
Office, displayed loaded pistols, and de-
clared they were there as representatives
of the gentlemen of st. Mary, who, they
asserted, had been injured in reputation
BY an article IN the first issue Of the
Register. After short conversation, the
propfietors Of the paper were assaulted by
two Of the intruders. A demand for salts
faction was answered by an invitation for
a street fight. tat gtal
The Register is a well conducted paper
and win succeed in spite of its enemies.
