THOSE VGo PREFER 4 FOREIGN GOV.
ERNMENT

There IS such a prepOuderance, there is
such a unanimity in the preference Of the
American people for representative self
government, tina. dissent is treated with
the contemp: i. deserves. He who prefers
king and court, oy a nobility and e,..b-
iished clergy ought to exercise the great
American right OF expat,iation, enisrate
20 Europe and put on the livery OF a sub
jet. Such 3 person is often descended
from tory or refugee, OK perhaps from
some nob.eman's sackey, who absconded
from Europe OK escaped from transporta-
ton. Suppose there are and have always
been faults il the administration Of our
republican government: Suppose Wash
ington was pasguinaded as Is monarchist,
Jefferson as q dema9ogue. jackson as a
tyrant Grant As & silent and rapacious
despot, only DESTROYS TO light his cigar at
public expense for one or more terms:
The republic still looms up on the horizon
Of history larger. more prosperous and
progressive than any other form Of nation
ality.
We do nc: wonder, then, tina: soldie,
who had devoted his life to the main.
'tenance Of the american Union because,
IN his belief, j; was indispensable to che
preservation Of American liberty, should
have become ;ndignan, at the fippant
eulogies on monarchy and aristocracy,
pronounced by rooster who had, per-
haps, never been soldie. at all. We
shall infer that this young Philadelphia
sprig was a non-combatant, until he shall
produce evidence to prove his devotion to
the land Of his birth. We can we'll imagine

man. He had read the New York Herald
until he fancied Cesarism was all the
thing; be had crammed for that inter.
view, and had expected immediate adop.

ton at the republican rebuke must have
been appalling.
The public will applaud the President
for the just censure addressed to this
traducer Of his country. We have good

Foreigners come here to cultivate the in
terests of some dynasty. or to escape
some political penalty. They are welcome
to the asylum. Sometimes they assail

own. That is all right. If the United
States. peopled by those who found the
governments OF the Old World insupport.
able. can not stand the sneers OF persons
disatfected to republicanism. our govern
ment must be a poor affair and ought 10
go down if there be better. We even
have 4 journal in New Orleans which does
not conceal its paramount interest in the
affairs Of France. IL late issue it says:
We have been careful 70 say that our
party Will be that of France, and that We
vii. support every man. every principle. or
any form OF government which will give to
France security. order. liberty and peace.
While we can not exactly conceive
why an American citizen should take
such devoted interest il the welfare of
another country. We do no: question the
right OF q Erenchnan to do 50. If, how
ever. this journal would exercise the
same charity toward the country from
which it is published. We should have
somewhat more political harmony N LOU
isiana. We sustain then the Indignant,

phian. and should like to see it bestowed
upon every man who owes bread and shel-
ter to republic and ye: adores king.

ligion. We can not help saying. how
ever. that if General Grant aspires to peg
form the par: of Casa. with the role of

themselves to gereralities they get along
very we'll, but when they begin to use
| figures they get into deep water at once,
and lose their balance. 1t needs no
serious consideration of the paragraph
quoted above to discover that it is de-
fective.
In the frs. place. reduction OF the
principal Of the State debt is proposed
equal to nearly one-half. The amount
estimated TO pay the interest on this is in
creased nearly three-e;Shths. The inter.
est tax is now eight and half mills. The
proposed reduction. it is said, will make
it eleven and half. The levee tax is to
be reduced to two and half. and the
general fund to three mills, making in all
seventeen mills on the dollar. instead Of
fifteen and halt, as summed up above.
No provision is made in these estimates
for the scLoo! fund. which would require
a: least two mills more. making in all
nineteen mills on the dollar, against
fraction over twenty-one at present.
We do not understand by wha. system
Of figuring it is made to appear that it
will require tax Of eleven and half
mills on our present assessment rolls OF
two hundred and fifty million dollars
to pay six per cent interest on thirteen
million dollars. since such a rate Of tax.
alton would produce an annual revenue
of two million eight hundred and seventy
FIVE thousand dollars, when only seven |
hundred and eighty thousand dollars |
would be required. But it will be much |
easier hereafter to ascertain the proper |
rate of taxation than it will be to dispose |
Of the thirteen million dollars new bonds !
at par. As the new issue will be no bet
te, secured than the Old. we can see no
reason why they should command such
an enhanced price. At best. this plan
looks to US like partia, reputation in a
very thin disguise. and badly presented
at that.
