Mr., JOHN BRIGHT, in q late pub
lie speech In England, claims that
''the commerce Of Great Britin is
equal to all the rest Of the world"
In 1860 the chances appeared to be
that before 1867 the United States
commerce alone would be as great
But our war for the abolition of
slavery, and the protective taliff
for the benefit Of the New England
manufacturers, has counted US out
most efeetuaIly. We are now a
third-rate commercial nation, with
only half the foreign trade of France,
and one-third that OF England.
Until we have q change in our po-
iitical affairs, It will be worse rather
than better.

BOSTON, July 23.-At q meeting OF
the Council last night, on recon-
mendation; the Mayor issued an or

PLYMOUTH, Mass, July 22.-The
steamers Chittem and ScandeEia,
with the French Cable, came to

Their arrival so soon was quite I'M
expected, but 1t is thought that ar
rangements will be perfected for

The land end to Boston is not yer
completed, but an Office will be open

From q late letter Of the Hon. A.
81. Stephens, we take the following
extract, which presents the living
issue Of the day. Constitutional
liberty on one side, Consolidation,
and Monarchy on the other. He
says:
att Is now the chief practical ques-
ton before the people Of the several
States. It involves on the one side
constitutional liberty, q, ,e7R Rblished
by the fathers; ON the Othet CONSOLE
dalton, absolutism and monarchy
OF some sort or other. There is no
middle ground--no halfway house,
between the alternative of this issue
as above stated. Between these the
people must choSel They must takO
one side or the other! There are but
two great political princip les In an
tagonism IN this country at this
time. The one Is for the continued
maintenance. Of free institutions by
popular government, the other Is for
an overthrow OF these and the estab-
llshment Of Monarch. The Crown
has already been paraded for the
facination Of the unrehecting multi
tude, with its guidfnI promises as to
the nature and character Of that
peace which Empire will bring"
The foregoing presents in a few
words the great Iivingquestion of the
day, one that will in q few engross
the minds Of all. Our people are
more deeply interested In this ques-
ton than they now imagine, and
while they look Indignantly upon
the puny efforts now made to bring
Imperialism before the count y, yet,
to-day we have thousands OF consoli-
datiOnists In the United States, men
who were indoctrInated In the school
Of the elder Adams, and who look
upon the doctrine Of States Rights
and States Sovereignty with utter
contempt, and nom this Ieuen the
Imperial party will rise in this
country.
We should heed the warnings OF
such men As Alexander 81. Stephens,
and prevent II possible, the over
throw OF Republican government,
on this continant.

TAVATTON OHIO.

When the political control passed.
In 1850 from the Democratic to the
RepuSncan party, the total taxes
levied in Ohio, for State, county,
township, corporation, school and
ALL other purposes, were $S954,-
61I. Through all the twelve years
which followed, the State was under
2epublican control, and at the end
OF that time, the taxes for the year
1857 had Increased to $40, ,258, 615.
In these two brief facts, the public
have. q withering commentary on
the professions Of economy made by
the Radicals and their shameless
Impudence In denOuncing the DEM
ocratic party for extravaganee.

INVITATIONS have been made that
the WELLS party In Virginia will
endeyor 10 indure Congress to reject
the State, or at least to delay action,
It Is said General CANBY declares
the election to have been as fair a
one as he has ever known, North or
South. The sections of the act of
Congress OF 1868 bearing upon the
subject read as follows 4
SECTION O. That IL either Of said
constitutions shall be ratified at such
election the Legislature of the State
50 ratifying, elected as provided fer
ill this act, shall assemble at the
capitol OF said State on the fourth
Tuesday after the official promulga-
ton Of such ratification by the mill
itary officer commander in said State.
SEC. 6. That before the State of
Virginia. Mississippi, and Texas
shall be admitted to representation
in Congress their several Legislatures
which may be hereafter lawful orga-
nized, shall ratify the fifteenth article
which has been proposed by Congress
20 the several States as an amend

Uuited States. Hl ..ra ~
SEC. 2. That the Proceedings in

IN Massachusetts they are having
some lively experience with a strin-
gent prohibitory liquor law. The
Boston Advertiser gives the follow
ing account Of the way in which it
works:
GThe public sale of liquors was
stopped for a few days. Large
quantities OF adulterated and fieryl
compounds have accumulated in the
cellars OF the State Constable. Suits
have been begun in large numbers,
to be determined by the courts here
after. But, on the other hand, drink
ing clubs have been revived on all
sides; eoncealment and hypocrisy
have taken the place of the efrontery
Of publicc drinking; the hotels and
eating houses continued to supply
their guests without interruption (;
grocers and druggists find their
trade stimulated by the change in
the current; and the friends of the
law have the satisfaction of seeing
a fierce and angry commotion pre-
cipitated upon the State without ap-
preaching as yet the result they con-
hdently promised themselves. The
attempt to dragoon the State into
uniformity on its question has put
good and bad members of the COM
munity on level, and given those
who pander to its passions and vices
for the sake of profit an advantage
which does not belong to them.''

aTHE DRUMMER BOY.

This illustrates to the people of this
country, in It's way, what scenesSf blood
she'd have been engendered by the teach
ingS of our Abolition press, Abolition pul.
pits and Abolition lecturers, during the
past 40 years. Thirty years ago the patri'
otic and d'eloquent statesman, Henry Clay
in speaking OF these revolution manufactu'
rerz,, said: IC f.E
'EWith them the rights of property are
nothing, the deficiency of the powers of
the General Government is nothing. The
acknowledged and incontestable powers of
the States are nothing. Civil war, dissO'
luton of the Union, and .he overthrow of
a government in which are concentrated
the fOndest hopes of the civilized world,
are nothing" = 'STheir purpose
is abolition, universal abolition; peaceable
if it can, forcibleSif it must be. y
Scenes of bloodshed have, through their
agency, marked and ,-dessOlaEed the finest
portions of our acounry, and laid waste
beautiful cities, sand fertile blooming fields.
The gross injustice in such .performances
consists in this, in. locating the, cause and
curse of'Our late civil war at the door of
our Southern States, and more especially
blacken Che character Sofsthat great and
patriotic State, the old staaesO %. Virginia,
representing hefswith the drssVn dagger in
q. a.standing attitude against the, Goddessiof
Liberty. Oh.i shame, where is thy blush:
And to be guilty, of such Eaerhege,under
the portrait of GeOFge, Washington, one OF
the many noble and patriotic sons of the
Mother of States, and of our earlier, able
and patriotic Presidents.
Old Virginia, during our late civil war,
together with the ether Southern States,
fought for and in defence of the rights be-
queathed to us by our revolutionary faith
ers, under the Divine guidance of the
Father of our Country against its foes, and
in war predicted by those great states
men, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and
others. IL
Place the cause and curse of our late
civil war where it belongs, at the doors
and in the heads and hearts of a debased
band of revolutionists, and not on q peo
pie who sacrificed their all in defence oi
their rights

THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLk.
uNWTRWy


Radical Governor Hayes and his large
and small radical organs over the State are
making much ado over the appropriations
of the late Democratic Legislature. They
do not charge upon the Democratic mem
bers corrupt ring Arrangements Ias radical
organs in Pennsylvania and New York do
upon the late Republican Legislatures of
those States-so let US stick pin there.
Again, these organs never have \ word
to say about the doings of a corrupt and
infamous radical Congress and Administra-
ton, with its carpet baggers, its favoTite
bondholders untaxed, and yet paid in gold
its tariff robberies-its railroad grants of
money and land, &c. .t.
The Radical State platform is dumb'as
an oyster on the subject of thoseChundreds
of millions of taxes which small property
holders pay on all they eat, wear or han
die. The iniquity of imposing taxes on
Coffee, Sugar, Tea, salt and Tobacco to
pay gold interest-on the untaxed bonds of
the wealthy, is passed over in death like
silence.
But Governor Hayes andN- company
charge exrsvagance upon our late General
Assembly in making appropriations. They
do not itemize-do not specify-fnd no
fault with particular items. 1t is all gen
eral and hence vague-mere elamor.
The Statesman is publishing.an able;ser-
les of articles on this subject. In one of
these that paper says:
'Tu two years of Democratic legis-
latiVe rule, Notwithstanding the heavy and
unusual expenditures of the public money,
which the Democratic Legislature had to
provide for, there was q saving to the
State, in the appropriation of public money
for State purposes, over the two previous
years OF Radical misrule, of 81 ,0S0, ,O60>
92."
It seems 57th General Assembly Cradical)
appropriated 50, SOC, ,s62 OF, and the 5sth
General Assembly, Democratic, appropri-
ated s., ,626, O62 90, making the difference
above. This is certainly a. fair way to
compare
The late Democratic Assembly had tc
provide for the robbery of over ONE HUN
DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS by the radical
architect of the Asylum for the Deaf and
Dumb. This piece of thievery does MOI
lie at Democratic doors. Hayes and COM
pany say nothing about ali this.
The radical organs are trying to raise
dust about something, in order to concea
their niger business-their stamp take.
and their other Internal and enormous tax
alton robbery. Ohio's share of taxation
for the General Government. (now rad
ical Negro machine) is fifty millions o.
dollars annually, much more than all ou
State and local taxes. Let taxpayers thinl

these leagues VIII therefore become
