HOW Tic prnnIe Stnnd.

Our Washington correspondent says that
some OF the Georgia delegation in congress
have been talking about sending Senator
Beck or Mr. S. 5. Cox to Georgia in place
of Speaker Carlisle to begin u campaign in
this state practically in favor of the whisky
ring We should like to know what inter
est any member Of the Georgia delegation
has in preventing or opposing the repeal of
the Infamous internal revenue system.
From the beginning of the republic down
TO the present day every expomdor of dem
ocratic principles has been opposed to the
pcrpetuatiou Of excise taxes. Jefferson
was bitterly opposed to this method, Mr.
Iilden WAS opposed TO it, Alexander Steph-
ems was opposed TO it, As matter Of fact,
the democratic party may be said to have
started business 10y opposing direct federal
taxes. Alexander Hamilton, during Wash
ington's administration, imposed an excise
tax that led to revolt among the people
The result OF il was the defeat of The federal
party, and jefferson became president. enc
of the first acts OF the democratic admins
tration was the repeal of the odious law.
And yet the law drafted by Hamilton was
not nearly so oppressive nor so obnoxious as
the law now in operation, which some of our
democratic friends appear to regard as a
sacred affair, 1t is a law that is opposed to
every principle Of democracy.
If the members of tn, Georgia delegation
IN congress win consult with their consti;u-
ents in regard to this matter they viii find
that the infamous internal revenue system
has very few friends among the neoplc
