Special Taxation.

When you compel man to contribute at the
fiat of a toecn-meetirg, to objects other than
those which the government was framed to Sc
cure, you destroy his constitutional right to
thereafterwards only hold subject to the deter
miasation of a majority of his to,o1aspeople."
The people of Maine have not yet adopted a
constitution which, upon any reasonable inter-
probation, makes the tenure of private property
so uncertain" Opinion of Judges, p. 614.
The above is sound doctrine. If to benefit
corporations of any kind, majority of the vot-
ers in any town or-city can vote to impose tax
es for "objects other than those which the gov
eminent was framed to secure" the constitu-
tional rights of property and property holders
are quite insecure. Not only may taxes be i'm
posed by loaning the credit of town or city,
to private corporation, within our own State,
but also for railroads extending into other
States-into New Hampshire and Vermont, and
also to Ogdensburg, New York. Where is the
limit?
The railroad loan is likened, by one of its
leading advocates, to the Endorsement of a
promissory note; but does not every one know
the risk to be incurred by extending such ia
vors, when the promissor happens to be desti-
tute of means to meet his liabilities at ma
turity?
1t is no argument in favor of the loan to say
that the city Of Portland now owns most of the
stock of the P. & O. Railroad. If the stock
has deprecated, or was even wholly lost, bet
ter suffer the loss now, rather than increase
our liabilities ten-fold. The experiment pro
posed will never pay, as the Legislature will
vet learn

WaUfed,


Persons who are predisposed to dyspepsia, find
their suferings from this cause greatly aggravated
by damp weather, easterly winds, and sudden
changes from mild to chilling atmosphere. In
the spring, therefore, the pangs of indigestion are
seriously augmented by the atmospheric variations
peculiar to the season, and it is incumbent upon all
who desire to pass through the ordeal of its cold
msts and insaubrious gales with easy stomachs and
untormented by the indescribable torrents which
accompany dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen the d.
gestive organs with healthful and effective vegeta-
BILE invigorant; and no one familiar with the medi-
cal records of the age question for one MON, ut
that Hostetters Stomach Bitters is the Tonic b st
adapted to this purpose.
The credentials of the Great Restorative are I'M
equalled In number and character by those of any
other advertised medicine in the world. If ever
there was preparation to rank as national rene
dy, this wonderful specific has fair claim to the
title For period of twenty years it has literally
been the Champion Tonic and Alternative on this side
OF the Atlantic. In popularity it has never been
approached by any of its would-be competitors and
its annual sales far in advance of those of any
other medicine of its class, that comparisons would
be ridiculous. One of two conclusions is inevitable
Either the American people are deficient in common
sense, and incapable of rational discrimination or

says the design of Mr.. Lynch in moving and
others in voting for the resolution was two-fold:
To demonstrate to the country that the repub-

investigation, and to restore to the committees
of the House, where it properly belongs, in
quiry and supervision concerning the disburse-
ments of the public funds. The committee of
the House to which the latest investigation has
been entrusted, is composed of members who
have hitherto attained but little prominence in
legislation, all except Mr. Williams being now
upon their first terms in Congress. Elsewhere
