They have tried one class of men,
and have found them "wanting :"
they have trusted to their guidance

! they have given up all for the sake
of maintaining certain men in office,
and now they find themselves as
destitute to-day as when they bcgau

here to the men whom they have
elevated to Offices of power and trust,
is to cling to broken reed; to trust
them longer, is to destroy themselves,
and blight the hopes Of their chill
dren forev"r. Now they propose TO
adopt measures which will advance
the interest Of the whole people, all
vocating them through ali the State,
and then support only such men rs

surcs, which look toward the wclfar"

The Future Policy for the Color
ed People-The Best Measures
and the Dest Men to Carry Them
Out.

From the Missionary Record
Whocvcr,lo over the trophies
OF the Republican party, ~ presented
through the men who have been the
financial philosophers of the State,
and who have heretofore guided the
helm of State, may discover through
the telescope Of augmented taxation
the Justification of the former prctcn-
| sions of skill in State-crart. They
have given direction 10 all the inca.
surcs OF taxation, and represented
mos" measures 's ,aequnIc 10 meet
the wants of the State, and to place
1t far above the necessity Of raising
the assessments of taxation in the
future. When the last General AS
sembly adjourned, the hope was in
dulgcd that this year would witness
the reduction from five 10 three mills.
Such was tic conclusion of all who
believed i'll the success of Governor
SCOTS administration. With this
hope, with this determination every
earnest Republican who had the wei
fare to the State and the good Of the
people at heart entered the contest
against the 'Rcformcrs," who clam
ored against the party, and especially
against the administration and 1t.
cNtravaganccs. We were among
those who contested the right Of the
party to a new trial Of power against
the opposition. We pledged the
people lower taxation; We promised
them rctrcnchmcnt in the govern
mcnt. The inquiry now comes to US
how have these promises been kept
The first effort Of those directing tho
finances Of the State is to augmcn,
the tax from five to nine. mills on the
dollar. They tell the members o
the General Assembly that the,
must pass a bill securing this, or the,
cannot have their per diem" to re
turn to their homes. They 60 tc
