TIE proposition of the Presi- dent to increase taxes upon i'm ported articles to supply dcficien. cies in the revenue, is meeting with universal disapproval. The taxes of the government are suffi- ciently high to meet all necessary expenses, and there would now be an overplus instead of deficiency in the Treasury, had not the pub lie monies been cxtravagantly ex pended or foolishly thrown away. The fact that the revenue of late has been expended in q way that ben fits specified individuals more than it does the community that is taxed to raise the money. has in itsclfa tendency to produce laxness, irrcgularity, and even fraud, however closely and honor ably the process may be watched. And this tendency increases in force precisely in proportion as the responsibilities of the govern ment to the people, and of subor. dinatc ollie .als to their superiors is weakened. Under the govern ment of the United States, respon- sibility is by no means firmly oi efficiently established; and unt,l it is, the people will not consen, to give up their money with s good grace.

But, as we have said, this failed through the patience and wisdom of the Southern people, and now what remains! A foreign war, and with no country but Spain. Our relations with England are amicable. Mexico has been gen erally certain enough for war in the hands ofan aggressive admin istration; but the rulers of that Republic have been singularly patient and docile in dealings with the United States. But with Spain we have an issue. There are burning questions between that country and our own. But these questions have been in cx- is,encc for n hundred years; and we look back to the administra
 tion of Jefferson, Adams, Jack son, Polk and Buchanan, and the Spanish question is constantly aive. This comes from the fact that this, once practically pos

of military, the steam fire department, and
various trades and industries, being very im-
pressive. Speeches were delivered at the hail

esq. The day was one of the finest of the
year, and half the population Of the city we're
out. Everything conspred to make the cele-
bration great success, and to give the people
of the city pleasant holiday. The cost of the
imposing structure, including the ground and
its magnificent furniture throughout, has been
$2,27l, 1858. In all parts of the building the

therefore unjust. That large number OF
men are required to transact the business OF
the country is as well known 10 the grange
as to any outside, and we are perfectly will
ing that they should have fair compeusa-
ton for their labor but that there are as
many more useless ones is also true--besides
it would be better for business men them
selves, for the grange to be an established
institution, as there could not possibly be so
many failures if men bought only what they
needed and paid for what they got. How
many honest, well.mcaning men have been
wheedled into buying something they did
not want, by an oily-toDgued agent, proffcr-
ing long time and easy payments, TO say
nothing of the gross fraud and glaring mis-
representations that have been the insepara-
bleconoomitants of this class Of business. The

question, from the formation Of our govern.
ment, namely buy where we can purchase
TO the best advantage to ourselves. Surely
nobody has ever questioned this right for any
other class, and has the farmer not the same
right as all other citizens, 10 business point
of view? But the enemies Of the grange
say, let the farmer attend to his own affairs
and leave commerce to those who are engaged
in that business We reply that, the time
has passed in this free republic when you
shall dictate to men what business they may
do and how they shall do it, and it is our
privilege to purchase Of whomsOever we will,
without dctation from any one. But, says
one, you must support your own merchants.
That depends upon whether they will do as
well by us as others. If they can buy wheat,
or corn, or apples or potatoes, abroad, and
ship them home cheaper than they can buy
in their own respective neighborhoods, mer-
chants always do SO, and | never yet heard
farmers denouucing them for exercising their
privilege. They did it because they could
save money by it, and upon the same princi-
pie We have the right to supply our wants
where we can do so TO the best advantage
but when we do SO, all the traders in the
land, the whole army of middlemen and some
misguided farmers, raise their hand with holy
horror and cry out "what an outrage"

Fatal Accident at Montpelier.

Last Thursday Rev. DIR. Lord took his
two youngest children, Charlie and Bessie,
Of eight end five years respectively and drove
to William Mulloy's farm house at East
Montpelier. There he left Charlie for
weeks visit and shortly after noon he and
Bessie started for home. Mulloy lives at
the top of steep, rough hill road which leads
from the main road between Worcester and
Wright's Mills. While going down this hill
the horse became frightened from some I'M
known cause and began to run. Bessie, by
her fathers command, lay down ON the floor
of the buggy, while he tried to gain control
Of the animal. But the horse only ran the
faster, and either while the team went over
high water-bar, or while it swayed on to one
of the side banks, DR., Lord was thrown to
the ground. He still kept hold of the reins,
however, and by almost superhuman Sxertions
succeeded in partially checking the horse
He endeavored to lift his daughter out with

other. lie had just got his hand to her,
when, with tremendous spring, the horse
tore the rains from his grasp aud ran down
the hill at terrible speed, the little girl
crying. "Papa, save me! Papa, save me :"
Some fifty rods down was the house of James
Thayer, and there is a sharp bend in the
road.
The team came ieaping down the steep
hill and at Mr.. Thayer's place, making only
partial turn, went headlong over stone
wall. Mr.. Thayer, Sr., was standing in his
yard. He says that Bessie went into the
air as tho team went over the wall, and as
she came down the horse must have kicked
her, for when he picked her up she was lying
in the road. lie carried her into the house
aud his son went to Montpelier as fast as his
horse could carry him. Drs. Woodward and
Macomber were soon upon the spot, aud
gave the sad Information that nothing could
be done to save her. Her jaw was broken
in two places, there was an ugly sea Up wound
in the back of her head, aud her skull was
literally smashed to pieces. She was partly
conscious a few minutes, but soon became in
sensible and at about four o'clock died. Her
father is inconsolabe; she was the youngest
aud pet OF the family, and the child Of her
parents old age. TO make the sad event
more sad Mrs Lord was away at Hanover
in attendance upon the sick bed Of their old
est daughter Mary. She was telegraphed to
Immediately, and Governor Smith placed a
special train at her disposal which left
White River Junction at seven that evening.
The DR.. himself was somewhat hurt, but in
his great grief he refuses treatment as well as
consolation. 'lLet my heart bleed" he says
to his Borrowing friends. The funeral took
place Saturday afternoon.
