odious they are until now. They are the
dearest Of all means for raising revenue

man. They are a scandal and ought to
be objected to BY every one.

The REJEcrIoN OF THE New PARTY
RULES by the popular vote on Saturday,
is to be regretted because while they
did not differ in some particulars from
the Old Rules and were no more obJec-
tionable to those who voted against them,
they clearly fixed and pointed out the
hundreds from which the candidates for
the Legislature were to be chosen in ro-

cessity falls back upon the old rules.
