PROMISES AND PERFORMANCES.

Colonel McEnery is grinding out tax
collectors from Odd Fellows Hall in such
force that even the tax yesisteys must Join
with US in protesting against the supply.
Notwithstanding all the protestations and
promises Of himself and his friends before
the election. that this evil thing known as
| the tax collector should be abolished. The
very first infection he puts upon the com.
munity IS the evil thing BE promised to do
away with. We propose 20 have little
. discussion with Colonel 5IcEnery upoh
this matter. not to insist upon tie absolute
ftllfllment Of the promise 10 abolish all
tax collectors from the face Q! the land.
bu: to point out wherein he is putting his
"beioved State and people" into
@ very serious ENHANCEMENT. Tax
collectors are not Objectionable to us
upon principle. since they are very
necessary in helping society to adjust its
accounts; but we do object to their being
thrust upon the people for their own bene-
fit and to the general arrangement of pub
lie affairs. And since Mr.. McEnerv holds
himself up as the great friend of the class
that pays the taxes, ais he pretends, We
hold that he is injuring his sssends when
he demoraizes their business 50 that what
they paid yesterday they may have to pay
again tomorrow.
In the first place. then, Che :nore mat

political power, direct taxes and military
service should be according to numbers.
There can be no reason why six States
should possess one-sixth of the senatorial
vote, with but one-thirteenth of the vote
in the House of Representatives. The
example given by Mr., Morton, explaining
the injustice of State representation ap-
piled to the choice of a President, chosen
by the people, is stronger. than we could
present il. We refer the yeader therefore
to the speech. and commend i: 10 him,
whatsoever may be his politics. as an az.
gumens well stated, and founded in a
president regard for the peace of the coun-
Try and the perpetuity of the Union.

SOMETHING ABOUT DEVASTATION.

:
| The Times refers to the REPUBLICAN as
the ''detested" organ. This needs little
explanation, and we are the best parties to
| give IL. The REPUBLICAN admits to the
. ietestation, but it insists on being allowed
to plead many exceptions to the informa-
ton. II The frse place, it has steadily
grown - favor from the first day Q! its eX-
istence until the present time, while the
Times has achieved d different conclusion.
We owe cur present stability with the
| thmkin public % oGS consistency and
| fidelity, while the Times charges its .Aiiure
to the weakness and wickedne8s that per.
vaded its mana cement. There was nothing
about che REPUBLICAN to challenge the
''detestation'' of the community except Its
principles and when the parties who
formerly hated Us elected General Nc.
NIiilen to the United States Senate, with
the consent and appreciation Of the Times,
they publicly confessed that they had
wEonged Us during four years. 70. they
made leader for themselves out o:
partne. OF ours. It is an easy matter 90
originate detestation in New Orleans. where
a sensible man proposes 90 contradic: an
army o: fools oy the conceit Of years. We
set up ! proposition that %as objection
able. but which was inevitable. and ad.
monishet tie people = they did no: com
promise with what was coming they would
be overcome by its force. VIVA: We sug.
gested came 60 pass, - we had predicted
it you'd. and because the people
did 10: nave the sense 20 accept
our advice. they "desestei' Us Coz
telling them Of what was certain to Attic:
them. The papers like the Times tina.
might have shed light and given good ad.
vice upon the subject. i they had had the
sense or the patriotism. turned upon Us
and rushed madly upon the very misfor'
tUues we were seeking 20 put away. BY
pardering to IN ignorance and folly that
has really ruined the city for the time be.
ing the Times became the pet Of the mob
and the REPUBLICAN became the detesta.
ton Of the same senseless crowd. And
yet all the while we were right and the
Times was wrong, as the election of Gen.
egai McAillen and the Partially for Gov.
ernor Warmoth fully establish. We.have
not changed a shade nor varied a hairs
breadth. while the Times has shifted q
dozen ways until at last it has come to oc.
cupy the exact position that we did when
the ''detestation'' was first SCI on foot. If
lything, it is more worthy of contempt
fox its abasement to-day than we ever
were. if the abasemens was seally thing
that ever existed.
AS we said. the situation IS changed |
with the alteration OF sentiment. The |
REPy8ircaS has managed to make frse,sds |
while the Times has managed "a make enc.
mics. The difference IS very material. |
The people recognize in Us the advocates
of principles that once were oiious. Su. |!
that now. by force Of their Justice. have
become popular and universal. We are
in accord with the public sentiment, be.
cause we have helped to makeit. and those
who think that we are s'detested'' are
either ignorant Of their own surroundings.
or they are, like the Times, engaged in a
business rivalry that is OF doubtful! issue.
