BANGOR, June "a, 1870.
To the Editor of the Press:
did not intend to enter into the fight as to
the person whom we should nominate to repre-
sent us in the next Congress, but seeing my
name used in the manifesto of Mr. Butler
without my knowledge or consent, beg leave
to state briefly as can, bow stand in this
matter. When the question as to who should
succeed Mr.. Lynch was first mooted was in
favor of York County man, but as the case
begun to develope itself became satisfied that
the intention of a certain clique was to NOM
mate certain ones or make crusade against all
who do not coincide with them. 1 know full
well The plans that have been laid to carry their
points and In certain cases they have succeed
ed; but do believe that the honest men of old
York are waking up to break the slate which
has been made. say if we cannot get a per-
son from ork who is not mixed up with this
cilque we lad better come up to the work and
re-nominate Mr.. Lynch, who has SO ably rep
resented us for the last six years. The course
taken by the Biddeford Journal against Mr.
Lynch is disgraceful. The people Of Maine say
1t. The honest men OF both parties say it. The
people on the line of the Penobscot river es.
pecially say that no member of Congress de-
serves so much credit as Mr.. Lynch for the in
terest he has taken in our commerce, and that
the yeOple of the first district could do no bet.
ter than return him to Congress. 1 relnember
well the abuse the Biddeford Journal has heap
ed upon our present popular Governor; and so
1t goes say to-day that if Mr.. Lynch is nom-
mated he will not only disappoint the Bdde-
ford journal but will carry Old York as did
Chamberlain when the journal thought the
nomination of Gov. Chamberlain would he
disastrous; but he carried York County bv
1O43 plurality, the Biddeford Joornal to the
contrary notwithstanding.

Louis. the fourteenth of long line
that succeeded each other at intervals upon
the throne of France, who alone earned the
epithet of "the Great" and gave his name to
the age in which he lived, after he had as
sumed personally the administration of affairs
upon the death of Cardinal Mazarin, truly de-
cared, Il am the state" In government of
laws and not of men the whole people are
the State, but their highest exercise of SOW
ereignty is in framing those laws and modify
ing them at pleasure through their represent
atives. In whomsoever this power resides
they are, for tie time being, the state. Prob
ably it is seldom in our Republican country
that any single individual has felt that he
absorbed all Of this authority in his own per-
son, but we have recently had such an in
stance in Maine. A gentleman to whom the
revision of the code of laws that were to go
into effect on the first of next February was
entrusted, solely that he might index and an
annotate them, has assumed legislative frnc
lions and undertaken to rewrite the whole
body of the law of this State, using such
phraseology as he thought to be preferable to
that employed by the legislature.
In Connecticut great uproar was made a
year or two ago because some one who had
access to the manuscript laws in the Secreta-
ry of States Office had interpolated few
words into single act; but We are informed
that in our statutes whole pages have
been erased and rewritten; of course
the only purpose must be to rewrite
them in language somewhat different from
that employed by the legislature, Tor if it was
to be again written IN the identical words first
used there could be no occasion for the
erasure; hence, if remedy be sought in our
courts, or a man be arraigned for punishment
for an alleged crime, it will be impossible for
court or jury to determine whether it be the
legislature or the good pleasure of the censor
that gives the remedy or defines the offence
and its punishment The only practicable
course in this state of affairs must be an act
passed repeating the law enacting the raised
statutes of 1870 and submitting the whole
mat er to a new commission preparatory to
its being re.enacted by the Legislature in the
precise terms in which it is to stand as the
law of the land.

Thus the number taxed for incomes of $1,000
or less is 176,1S4 or nearly twice the number
taxed lor more than that sum. Probably
these 1854 pay less than third of the
whole revenue from this source, leaving the
remaining $4,000 to pay the other two-thirds
The annoyance 10 the former must be ont q,
all proportion to the benefit derived bv tbe
government from what they pay. A suf1i.
Gent increase in the exemption would in a
great degree remove this difficulty.
Another objection to this tax as now levied
arises from the fact that it makes no distin,.-
ton between incomes from permanent invest
ments affOrding perpetual return and the
income from personal exertion which NAV be
interrupted by accident or DESTROYED bv
death. Ii an amount were exempted from
incomes of the latter Glass; sufficient to insure
the life of the recipient for sum that would
make his income perpetual, the inequality
would be removed.
But there are other objections not so easily
disposed OF. The same nominal sum does
always mean an equal income reckoned in
the necessaries and comforts of life. An in.
come of $1,000 in the city is very different
thing from $4,000 in the country. Yet the in
come tax makes no distinction and it would
be no easy matter to arrange it so that
would not operate with very seli-
Gus inequality. Its. inquisltoral character
makes 1t odious TO large number whose
feelings revolt at having their affairs pried
into and made public. In its moral asnect
1t effects are pernicious. The temptation to
evasion and fraud in making returns is CO
great from the difficulty of detection ltbat -
furnishes school of dishonesty to all who

have not the moral strength to be true at any
cost. No amount of money can compensate
for demoralizing still further the already too
lax virtue Of the average man. As war tax
its duration was limited to 1870, and it is
quite certain that considerable dissatisfaction
will be felt if Congress disappoints the reason
able expectations raised by this limitation.
