MERCHANTS WHO DESIRE TO REACH FAMILIES WILL FIND IT A MOST VALUABLE MEDIUM. 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. As some one says.J&ey have been bom btrding, London across the Atlantic. The distance is so great, that it does not seem like much damage can be done. Special Notices.
