consider modification Of the Internal Rev

in view Of the country's late years OF ex-
perience, with more Intelligence, and with
a rea enable hope Of q nearer approach to
policy generally satisfactory TO the peo-
pie, and settled. The Democratic leaders
have happily revealed enough of the DEM
agogical cards they intend TO deal the dear
people to excite the wariness of here and
there Republican. The willy enemy's
outcry against "hloated bondholders," un-
taxed, overtaxed laborers," with the
present concerted, growing workingmen's
movement in the interest of the Democrat
&c rarty, is serving as a spur to the wits
of our side of the house /; and there are
indications, in the already begun discuss
Ion of material notifications of the Rev
enue Laws, that we are likely to derive
some benefit thereirom
We must prove to the people, now that
the government is in our hands, that we
are what the Democratic party profess to

m st efIectual way to that end is 10 relieve
Labor and Business as much as possible
from taxation, and transfer the burden to
the shoulders of the Riches and Luxuries.
1t has been aimed at, tmidy, gropngly,
rctracingly. We can do better now. Be-

information and thought may be brought
to bear upon the. subject. i must not take

A Washington correspondent of the
Phila. Sunday Gazette was recently an
applicant for an Assessorship. Commits
sioner Delano preferred another Of the
applicants. Thereupon, in last Sunday
issue, the correspondent abuses both his
calling and the Commissioner, in retalia-
ton for hisdis-no-non-appointment.-
He brings two grave charges against this
high official |. Hardheartednsss towards
the Pennsylvania whiskey men, notwith-
standing the application of Hon. John Co.
vode for little molliency, on political ac-
count! Mr.. Delano needs no other vim
dication Of the wisdom of mol appointing
him. A pretty fellow, by his own show
ing, he would be to set to guard the inter-
ests OF the revenue against class Of men
notorious as its violators, when he can
charge a h;m adherence to this duty, re-
CARELESS OF personal and party cosidera-
tons, as a reprehensible ofiense in anoth.

is testimony to Il most praiseworthy official
rectitude.

that it is the custom, which Mr.. Deanp

Another commendable innovation in
this Department is the employment Of
women'instead of mon, inthe Patent Of

tons. These draughtswomen get $1,000;

The "remoyal Of the capital" is exciting
much attention here. The non-m0vists are
exhibiting their fears on the subject by
declaring, through the newspapers, that
the capital never can be removed, for want
Of sufficient object; on account Of the
frightful expense, etc, and that the Con-
stitution wouldn't let it 90, if there was
nothing else to hold on to it; and so it's
no use to talk about it .mui
