Taxation—Bat no Representation.
No man in his senses can doubt that
the present conduct of the Radicals in
denying us representation, says the At
lanta Bulletin, constitutes the usurpa
tion of power, and an unwarranted op
pression. This party in Congress may
be justly styled rebels against the Gov
ernment —for, by the violation of her
Constitution, they are accomplishing
changes which are inimical to the senti
ments and rights of the unrepresented
States. With reckless and ruthless
hands they are despoiling the palladium
of our liberties. When it shall have
been rifled of its charms and shorn of
its power for good, we will perhaps be
tendered the privilege of representation.
The President of the United States
has the power to call out the force? of
which he is Commander-in-Chief, to sup
press rebellion. This he can do what
ever may be the character of those who
rebel, or the pretexts under which they
may essay the justification of their re
bellious deeds. The demands of pru
dence, and the importance of preserving
peace, are, perhaps, the reasons which
have prevented him from introducing
our members by the exercise of military
power.
It is competent for the national legis
lature to reject members elect to their
respective bodies on account of indi
vidual disqualifications, but there is no
justification for the wholesale rejection
, of our Representatives and Senators.
This is done on the hypothesis that the
Southern States are out of the Union:
but such an assumption is in conflict
■with truth and emphatically iu opposi
tion to the opinions and policy of the
President.
The commonest intellect that has
beeq tutored in this free Republic knows
that when any power wiithin her limits
undertakes to impose upon States the
burdens of government without repre
sentation, that power is chargeable
with an act of usurpation and tyranny.
The causes of the first revolution of
the American people live in history,
and aid us to-day in placing the decree
of just reprobation upon the oppressive
policy of the Radicals. Until it is pro
claimed from heaven that man is not the
equal of man, the principles of our Dec
laration of Independence will be regarded
as sound as within the limits of this coun*
t y; and such as rebels against them
will be hated as tyrants. In that instru
ment it is complained that the colonies
were taxed by the mother country, while
they were denied representation. This
was the great grievance—this the promp
ter of the war —and opposition to such
injustice becamethefundamental princi
ple of our Republic. Are we represented
now? Are we taxed now? While a nega
tive responds to the first interrogatory,
the tax assessors and gatherers,scattered
over the impoverished South,offer an ap.
propriate answer to the second, causing
the lovers of consistency, right and liberty
to blush with shame for the despoilers of
their country.
There is but one hope left us, and that
hope is founded in the patriotism and
justice of the masses. If the policy of
the Radicals in Congress is to be that of
the North, we may bid an eternal fare
well to the glory of our constitution and
bow our necks hopelessly to the yoke of
tyranny.
We would not conclude this article with
marks of despondency upon it. Such a
termination would neither be just to our
sentiments nor to our readers. Although
the fact has heen announced that we have
but one hope left for the assurance Os
our future equality in the Republic, that
one hope blazes like the midday-sun,
and makes us joyful in the reasonable an
ticipation of a glorious future. We
neither invoke nor need any military force
to break the rod that Radicalism holds
over us, for the people, peaceful at the
polls, will vindicate our rightsand redeem
from misrule the government ot our al
legiance. Let us The day
of redemption i3 nigh.
—Head-Centre Stephens finds it an up
hill business to vitalize the Ketlian move
ments in this country. He is very can
did; all he wants, he says, is money.
But unfortnnately lie wants that which
nobody wants to part with, and besides
the money paid iu already to the Fenian
treasury, seems to have taken wings and
flown to the utmost parts of the earth.
Alas! the Irish 1 they can do anything
else better than to get up a revolution.

The distance is so great, that it does not
seem like much damage can be done.
