The Democrats claim that the Con-
stitutional mode of assessing and
collecting such a revenue as this,
should be adopted. The provisions
of the Constitution are as follows:
No capitation or other direct tax,
shall be laid, unless in proportion to
the census or enumeration herein be-
fore directed to be taken"
"Al duties, imports, and excuses,
shall be uniform throughout the
United States"
Representatives and direct taxes
shall be appOrtioned among the several
States which may be included in the
Union, according to their respective
numbers. "-COnStitlt6oR Z. S.
Now we claim that the States should
collect and pay these direct taxes.
Our town collectors, with a little adj
ditional help, could collect them--in
many towns with no additional help.
This would save to Connecticut at
least a hundred thousand dollars a
year; and it would be in accordance
with the Constitution, which is now
disregarded in this matter, at a sharp
cost to the people.

THE following is the full text of the
new article adopted at the late Coun-
Gil defining the matter of Papal infal-
libility:
Chapter to be added to the decree on the
supremaev of the RGfhan Pontif, sta
ting that the Roman POntiff cannot err
in the definition of matters of faith and
morals.
The Holy Roman Church possesses
the highest and complete supremacy
and predominance over the whole of
the Catholic Church, which she truly
and humbly recognizes to have re-
ceived with the fulness- of power from
the Lord Himself, through st. Peter,
prince of apostles, whose successor IS
the Roman pontiff. And as she is
bound to defend before others the
truth of the faith, SO also any ques-
tons which may arise regarding faith
must be defined by her Judgment; be-
cause, moreover, the words of our
Lord Jesus Christ, saying, Thou art
Peter" etc, are not to be passed over.
These words have been confirmed by
subsequent events, for the Catholic re-
ligiOn has ever been preserved i'm
maculate, and its doctrine has ever
been celebrated, in the Apostolic See.
"Hence we teach, with the approval
of the Holy Council, and define rs a
dogma of faith, that by the Divine as
sistance: the Roman, Pontif, Of
whom, in the person of St. Peter, it
has likewise been said by our Lord
Jesus Christ, 81 have prayed for
thee etc, cannot err when, acting as
the highest teacher of all Christians,
he authoritatively defines what should
be adhered to by the whole church in
matters of faith and morals; and that
this perogative of the ineapabiIity to
err, or infallibflity of the Roman Pom
tiff, is equally extensive with the in
fallibility of the Church.
"If any one should presumeito con-
tradict this our definition, which may
God avert, let him know that he
thereby falls away from the truth Of
the faith"

liar to Pennsylvania, and Joined with
the comparative absence Of I" banking
facilities" they have done much to
make Philadelphia a cheap and de-
sirable place of residence.
To the above statement of the IA
eilities afforded by ground reDtsshOuld
be added q notice of an institution
comparatively new in this country,
but which has been in operation for
the past half century in England and
Scotland. We speak of the Building
Association" There are, it is esti-
mated, between one and two thousand
of these associations in operation in
this city, each discussing, on an aver
age, at least one thousand dollars
monthly. Putting their number at
the lowest figure, say n thousand,
we have here twelve millions of dol
lars annually invested in real estate
(for that is the only security taken by
the association for their loans) by the
workingmen of this city. Truly it is
no wonder that Philadelphia is grow
ing at the rate of a square mile of
buildings annually; and that nearly
every family occupies its own house.

THE cadetship question coming up,
a resolution was offered in Congress
on the oath to exclude from the floors
and galleries Of the House all persons
who had been or should hereafter be
engaged in ''eorrupting'' members.
During the debate the point was
made that while the principal rogues
retained their seats it would be unjust
to punish their aeeomplices. Whether
the members are capable of adopting
a measure designed to prevent their
being further corrupted is doubtful.
There are some men as well as things
which are incapable of being cor
mpted.

of the worst Of special pleading in order
to find some flaw in the work of the late
Convention at Nashville. We appre
bend little can be effected by this mode
of argument on the stump before the
people, for they are too well posted on
these matters to be hoodwinked by any
arrant demagogue who may think it his
special mission to set us right on this
question at this late day. We think We
can divine through the thin mist that is
thrown around the motives OF Mr.. John
SON what his real design IL. He would
above everything else now in reach, pre-
fer to be United States Senator when
Mr.. Fowler's term shall expire, OF
Governor Brownlow himself shall die
with old age and palsy. But he never
will be in the lifetime Of the present
generation of men who vote and control
the politics of the State. The people
not only in West Tennessee, but oil over
the State, intend to give their united
strength and support to General John q.
Brown, the Democratic nominee for
Governor. Andy johnson is not thought
of in the race, and will not be, in all
probability, when new Senator IRON
this State is to be elected.

Aneedote OF eenernI rroeIu.

The following anecdote Of General
Trochu may be read with interest, at a
time when he is called upon TO play an
important part in public affairs, as it
shows that he is not less distinguished
for his private virtues than for bis tai
ents and courage as . soldier Upon the
death Of his father, some yeare ago, he
became entitled, under the French law
of succession, to mOiety Of the small
patrimonial estate in Brittany, which
was TO be divided between himself and
his brother. This brother bad eleven
children. The General has none. BE
simply remarked that his brother needed
the property more than be did, aud re-
linquished his share Of a. Not long
afterward his brother likewise died.
Upon this occurrence the General OBJ
served that, having no family Of his own,
be was the better able 10 provide for thai
which Providence had bestowed upon
him. He adopted bis eleven nephews
and nieoes, laid down his carriage, is-
duced his own domestic expenditure, aud
assumed, with cheerfulness. the duty Of
providing for the whole Of his late bro
thers family snd household.

SPIRIT OF TRUE DEMOCRACY.
what the Organ of Fayette County
Hns 70 say.

The Somerville Falcon of the 18th
inst. after abiding to the results OF the
Senatorial and Floaterial Conventions,
held in Memphis on the 9Th inst, and
the unfavorable comments made in some
portions of the district, invokes har'
mony, good feeling and an unbroken
front on election day. The editor, we
remember, was in the Convention and
ably represented the people of Fayette
county. He acquiesced in the result
gracefully, and goes to work for the
ticket. He is not one Of the rule or
ruin party, which few disappointed
aspirants would like to see create divi-
sion in our ranks. The Falcon concludes
as follows:
We place the names of the nominees
at our masthead and shall contribute
what we can to their election. Colonel
DuBose. who has for some time past
been editor Of the LEGDER, is well-known.
He is bold, fearless and independent
writer: has the nerve to face every issue,
and viii shrink from no responsibility
that the:canvass or his duty as member
of the Legislature viii impose upon him
He viii be vigilant and watchful Of the
interests of his constituents, and will
make an honest, efficient and capable
representative.
Mr.. Harris is young man OF talent
and ability, and will no doubt be faithful
to the interests Of the people whose snf-
frage he solicits. He is highly spoken
Of by all who know him, and is doubtless
worthy of the confidence imposed in him
by those who nominated him. In his
address accepting the nomination he
pledged himself to know no county lines,
but 10 work for the interests Of the peo-
pie of all counties alike.
