Down With the Taxes.

This is the cry of everybody. Down
with the the taxes is echoed from the
farm, the workshop aud mandatory,
By thu merchant, the laboring man, aud
the man Of leisure. Never before, were
the people of this country so unanimous
in favor of any Que thing as they are
now 10 favor Of reduction of the burdens
Of taxation. There is noparty division
in this matter, but all parties and all
classes cry down with the taxes For
years the taxpayers have been crying
in vain, but there is hope, and barely
hope, that Congress has. heard them
at last. There is wideSsargin for
the reduction Of taxes, as the receipts
aud expenditures show. The tax col.
lected from all sources, this year, amount
to S393,OO0,000, and the expenses,
S3l5, 700, 600 These latter figures are
the expenses of carrying on the govern
ment including the interest on the pub.
lie debt, &c. This shows that the
people are taxed sos, 900, 900 more than
are required by the necessities of the
government. If we had an economical
administration, no doubt the expenses
might be reduced one hundred millions
of dollars. This would make material
difference to the oyerburdeued tax
payers. If but Fifty millions we're taken
off, which would leave that amount to
be applied to the reduction of the pub
lie debt after paying all other exp 4nses,
1t would sensibly tighten the burdens
of the people. The party in power has
not responded very cheerfully to the
general desire to have the taxes rcdu-
ced. The more money collected, the
more Congress has to spend among its
friends, and the more there is for the
plunderers to steal The d=ty on i'm
ports is not to be disturbed, aud the &C.
ton of Congress satisfies US that the
most Objectionable of all taxes the in.
come, is to be revived. The party in
power is even willing to violate its faith
to restore this odious tax, and keep the
swarm Of assessors aud assistant asses
sors IN office. All the most objectiona.
BILE taxes could be taken off, aud an
abundance of money raised from sources
less obnoxious. When this is done, of
course swarms of leeches, now feeding
on the tax payers, must leave the public
crib and work for living, and all their
influence, and that of their friends i'm
Congress, is brought to bear against
reduction. The people find it much
harder to get rid Of an army of tax
gatherers, than an army Of soldiers.

How the Money Goes.

The Public Record, the new penny
paper 10 Philadelphia, while maintain.
ing complete independence Of parties
deals some telling blows at existing
abuses. Under the above caption it has
the following editorial remarks;
Some French Minister, Richelieu, if
we remember right, used to give direc.
tioGs 20 his tax-gatherers, when they
went cat among the people TO gather
the revenues, mot pluck the goose so
closely as to make it squeak" Appar.
emily there is no American fnancier,
who has sense enough, or, il be has
sense, who has strength enough, to en-
force such instructions on our tax gath
erers. That patient goose, our good
public, does SQUEAK" most plaintively
under It's taxes, aud without relief
Yet, it is not SO much the closeuess Of
the pluckiug as the manner of it, that
makes the American public dissatisfied
with the operation Of the revenue sys-
tenn. We have great debt, contracted
in long and desperate war. The peo.
pie are content to pay that debt in any
just and proper way, and will make
reasonable sacrifices to that end but
when they see, as they have seen for
years, an expensive machinery for col
lection on the one hand, and multi
tude Of etching palms" in those who
run the machinery, on the other hand,
it is no wonder that the people complain
The case may be likeued to some Of
those foreign charitable societies, whose
purpose is highly commeudable, and
whose money, if it ever reaches the
beneficiaries, does u great deal Of good,
but who yet lose iu the transmission so
great part Of the charity through the
percentages aud salaries of agents as to
make the affair doub!y expensive one
to the charitable givers Nor is this
all. Other elements besides expensive
machinery come 10 to diminish the
amount Of the taxes wrung out of the
hard earnings Of the people. II any
class of officers should be not only above
the charge of corruption, but above
suspicion Of it, surely it should be those
who assess and collect the revenues.
Even the Judicial officers olthe govern.
ment ought not to be more upright, or
incapable Of dishonesty, And yet we
habitually find revenue Offices distribu.
ted as the spells of party triumph to
men whose chief recommendation is
their past party service. lsiour reader
think we overstato the evil, they have
only to glance through the following
official table of moneys due from a few
of the ex. collectors of the single State
of New York. This table is taken from
the statement OF the Secretary of the
Treasury, made pursuant to the House
resolution demanding a return of the
amounts due from collectors of internal
revenue not in office

The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury,
says, the Black Republican party is now
about fourteen years ofage, having been
born in 1856, when Fremont ran for tho
Presidency. Though young in years,
it is hoary with wrong and outrage
During these short fourteen years it has
done more evil than can be repaired
within a century under the most favor
able auspices that could be inaugurated.
Within that period it has provoked a
war that has cost the lives Of a million
of men, aud piled up mountain of debt
under which the country will groau for
ages. But this is not ALL nor half the
sins of which it has been guilty, and
which stamps it as the greatest criminal
of the nineteenth century. IL has abso.
lutely debauched the government, and
introduced yillany so widespread as
to corrupt aud stuliiy almost the whole
population. IL has overthrow the Con.
stitution of our Fathers, aud substitu.
ted 10 its stead species ofauarchy that
knows and recognizes no law as sacred,
no matter how hallowed by time or sane
toned by legitimate authority. Should
this culprit not soon DO arrested in his
course of demolition and of ruin, we
shall have to write upon the walls Of our
Capitol: ".Hsne mene tekie Upharsh. "

PUBLISHING BIRTHs. The publica.

ing ground in various sections Of this
country, as has long since been the case
in England, France, and Germany, and
in fact in nearly all parts of Europe, -
The feeling of false delicacy which has
so long existed in connection with this
important and eycntful feature Of human
economy is fast giving way to more en-.
lightcned views on the subject, and in a
little while the habit announcing will
be as common aud fixed in all parts Of
the country as that of publishing mar.
riagcs and deaths. Any why not The
fact of being born is just as patent aud
necessary, and just as proper, moreover,
as that Of getting married or dying -
There should therefore, be no more hes
itation in making known in one case
than in the others Besides, such pub.
LEGATIONS are of great Importance as pub.
lie records in furnishing vital statistics
in which all are interested, and of har.

nation is easy and satisfactory but, in
many others, the government will never

adds: "The government has instituted
legal proceedings against Collectors
Masten, Halstead and Van Voorhis, for
the recovery Of the amounts set opposite
their names. Others have, since their
retirement from office, engaged in many
unlucky speculations, and therefore lost
all their money" Read the whole sys.

The Late Election in Oregon.

Ths Late Election in Oregon.
What reply are the white men of the
hatien making to the Fifteenth Amend
mentg How do they like negro suf-
ffagey What response is returned to
the attempt made by the Radical party
% force negro equality upon white men
By constitutional cnactmeuts 7 Four
elections have been held, in different
parts Of the Union, and under different
circumstances since the PRONUNCIATION
Of the negro ukasc. In these contests
the question Of negro supremacy was
distinctly made by the Radicals, and
fairly and fearlessly met by the De-
mocracy. Connecticut received The first
shock of the negro battalions, aud shiv-
erred /. EN- to atoms by well directed
and delivered blows. The State was
redeemed on that issue, and Governor
Hawley, man possessed of considera-
bio personal popularity, wa, defeated by
white men on the white mans issue.
Then came New York, and there
still more decided victory was gained.
kighty-scveu thousand majority for the
white mans ticket announced the dc.
cision Of the people of the Empire
State. The same tidal wave of white
men stranded Bowen and the negro
party in Washington. With the whole
influence and patronage of the national
administration openly thrown into the
Bowen scale, it kicked the beam and
white men rose to power again. Aud
now from the far northwest Oregon
joins the army Of white men and keeps
step TO the cadence OF the white mans
march A Democratic Governor is
chosen, a Democratic member of Con-
gress, Democratic State Treasurer, and
a Democratic Secretary Of State The
Legislature will also be Democratic, and
upon that body will devolye the duty
Of electiag United States Senator in
place Of George H. Williams, Radical,
whose term expires in March, 1871.
Thus Oregon responds to the appeals of
white men in other localities, and keeps
the chain Of victories unbrokeu. The
white men Of that young, vigorous State
are not willing to sully their escutcheon
b. union with negroes. White men
have made that State what it is, and
white meu are competent to rule 10 the
future They do not want negro Gov
crnor, negro Senators, negro Judges.
They are not willing tina; negroes shall
mould their laws, or enforce them by
sitting on juries, In word, they think
white men can govern Oregon, and have
said so at the polls. There is some.
thing grand and impressive in this mighty
uprising Of the people of the United
States. They are saying to the black
sea Of Radical negroism g thus far shalt
thou so, and no further" The bound
arg has been reached, aud the ebbiug
of the tide has begun. From Connec-
ticut to Oregon, white men have taken
the reins of authority, and compelled
the Radicals to ride 10 the rumble
This is most cheering resik. 1t shows
THAI the scales Of passion and prejudice
have fallen from the eyes of men, and
they see the dark cloud which has over
spread the land, aud seeing it, act in
proper manner When the October
elections come, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
other States will take up the work, and
finish what has been SO well begun
an hail Oregon.
