out Of its enmity and hatred to-
ward the South: Because Con-
gress committed an outrage does
the Radical party of Mississippi
deem it incumbent upon it to do
likewise: Because the Congress
Of the United States hated the
South and oppressed it must the
Radical party of Mississippi do
the same? If the Legislature
feels it to he its duty to tax cotton
because it is property, then it
must proportionately tax wheat,
oats, rye, barley, corn, potatoes,
cabbage, lettuce, radishes, carrots,
roses, violets, hyacinths, peaches,
apples, plums, grapes, melons,
Strawberries, everything which
grows in tho orchard, the vine
yard, the field, the flower garden
and the kitchen garden, for all
alike possess value, and doing so
are property, and the Constitution
emphatically demands that all
property shall be taxed. And,
now, while "Senex" is busily en-,
gagged how to arrive at the value
of cotton each year, let him also
arrange for arriving ut the value
of roses and tulips, cabbage and
corn, peaches and melons, &c.
