New Orleans has defeated the
Railroad tax and thereby set her
self back fifty years. We under
stand that every one admits the
railroad would greatly enhance
the value of property, increase
trade and add to the material
prosperity of not only the citizens
Of New Orleans, but of the entire
section contiguous to the line of
route Of this railroad but that to
vote for the tax would have "vio-
lated a political principle" cher
ished so long and revered so great
ly-the principle, "that the can-
allie had no right to vote to tax
the property of the owner"
1t is greatly to be regretted that
these dear lovers Of principle (')
and sticklers for it's strict 0bserv-
ance, did not refrain from exerting
themselves for the influence and
vote Of this same canaillc against
the road, and for the defeat of the
tax. We like principle and its
observance, but cannot for the
life of us reconcile the 'princi-
pie" of electioneering with mob
to defeat a tax we so persistantly
announce that mob has no right
to levy. Consistency would have
come with good grace from these
high~toned sticklers at principle,
but their action in defeating the
railroad tax smacks Of "gaping
at agnat and swallowing camel.'
