North American Indians sort Of adora-
ton akin to worship is paid to plants which
are supposed to have medicinal qualities,
Mr.. Spencer starts Nth the theory, hereto
fore ventilated IN bis essays, that the germ
Of all religion is in the desire OF the living
to propitiate the spirits Of the dead, and
especially Of ones dead parents and rela-
tiges. The religion Of the Hindoos, Chi
nese, ancient Egyptians, and Of all very
primitive races illustrates this. It is NEXT
assumed that in all languages human names
originate in the names of animals, men
attributing to each other, or claiming
for themselves, the names Of the animals
they are supposed to resemble. Our In
dian names Tall Bear, Spotted Tail, &C..
as well as our Saxon names Wolfe, Lyon,
Fox, &C., Indicate this propensity which is
only obscured in modern language because
the meaning Of the original words forming
proper names is lost. A1r. Spencer next
proceeds to argue TINT men inheriting these
names of animals would assume that ther
are called by their names because they arc
descended from them, and in this way be
is enabled to bring in his theory that all
worship begins in ancestral worship. There
is very little in known history to support
such hypothesis, and it is more natural
to suppose that the ndo1ation of
plants and animals for their
known properties, as Of serpents
for their power to poison, and Of plants for
their medicinal qualities should grow into
a worship of the mysterious spirit to whose
presence in the plant or animal these prop
critics were supposed to be due.

Hon William A. Richardson writes to the
Quincy Herald that he shall vote against
the new Constitution Of Illinois, because it
''extenas suffrage to negroes" It is long
time since Mr. Richardson has been heard
from, and it would be interesting to know
where he has been, during the past half
dozen years. By applying to either Of the
two members OF the convention from
Adams County NTessrs. Browning and
Skiuner), Mr.. Richardson can learn that
the now constitution does not "e1tend
suffrage to negroes" that extension having
been effected some months earlier, and by
an entirely different process.
Mr.. Richardson proceeds to inform tho
Quincy Herald that there are now several
hundred Indians on their way to Washing
ton lat our expense), and that the undoubt-
ed object Of taking them thither is to see
whether they can be induced to rote tha
Radical ticket. For this reason also Mr.
Richardson is determined to vote against
the new Constitution of Illinois.
The Quincy Herald rejoices with ex-
ceeding graat joy that Colonel Richardson
is the saude.. devoted, uncompromising,
inAe1ible champion Of Democratic princi-
PIES that he always VAS We arc thankful
that We have definition of devoted, un-
compromising. intle1ible champion Of DEM
ocratic principles. It means man who
believes that the new constitution extends
suffrage to negroes, and that Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail have gone to Washington
to vote the Radical ticket, and who, there
fore, casts his sovereign ballot against the
new constitution.

The twenty third section of the schedule
of the new constitution reads as fo1lows:'
&. When this constitution shall be adopted, and
take effect IS the supreme law Of the State Ut
Illinois. the two-tni1l tax provided to be annusy
assessed and collected gE9a easa ollars worth 81
ect forth IN Article Is Of the now-exlsting con-
Stit9tton sna cease to be assessed after the year
There is no longer any necessity for the
assessment and collection of the two-tnill
tax provided for in the present constitution.
A report of the Auditor of State shows
that, aftsr the collection Of the tax for
1870, the State debt can be paid as fast as
it falls due, without further resort to this
source of revenue. The two-mill tax
now amounts to one million of dollars
per annum. II the new constitution
is adopted, State ta1as will there-
after be reduced by that amount.
But If it should not be- adopted, million a
year Of unnecessary taxation will continue
to be levied and collected to accumulate in
the Treasury, and lie there idle and useless,
SO far as the taxpayers are concerned, for
a number Of years to come. Here, then,
is one good argument, worth cool million
year, in favor of the adoption Of the new
constitution. A reduction Of taxation to
this amount is matter not to be declined
or rejected for ligh hit or ineonsiderahle rea-
sens. The saving of taxes to this county
alone will be $4,000 year, in abate-
ment OF the two-rni1l tax, and We respect
fully submit, that the people Of this county
could stand that much reduction of their
public burdens without serious incon-
venience.

The New York World asks the
brethren what they they think of the
Demoratic majority Of 80, ,0oo in New York,
90, 900 Of which is in the rural districts.
In view Of the large share Of this vote
which wns fraudulent, the open cooperation
of the State and city governments with the
fraud, the general prevalence of corruption
in city and State affairs, the abuses Of the
courts of Justice, and the "ho1y alliance"
and essential unity between the rulers and
the blacklegs Of New York, city and State,
we think, as do millions Of others in Europe
and America, that the majority Of itspopula-
ton are unfit for self government, and that,
if the entire people Of the country we're
equally unit, ne should soon be in tho
tllroes OF anarchy.
The World, we venture to say, agrees
with us in the opinion that, as whole,
the class who cast this $4,000 majority for
Democracy, are the least fit for aelf-goverr1-
ment Of my portion Of the American peo-
pie. The fact that such class, by such
means, render such a majority, md that the
officers whom they elect use the power SO
conferred in the rotten and disgraceful
manner against which the World was re-
Gently protesting, forms one Of the strong
est arguments against Democracy in all the
other States, and is to-day, the chief bull
wsIk Of defence to The Republican party.
Hence, if New York Democrats can endure
the stencil of their own SUCCESS, We can.
