Dullook nnd his Proclamation.
l'lto ex-express agent who squats In

oVer trim to Ills partisan Instincts. In-
c-npnblo of rising nliovu the behests ol
fiiutlnn, overy olllclnl not liu does shows
Ids Imsc and ohnrnotcristlc prostitution
to party purposes.
The Legislature passed a resolution
requesting him to nutku a proclamation
prohibiting negro drills nnd negro
armed and unlawl'nl assemblages.
This Now York successor ol the Col-
quilts, 'l'roiips, Cohhs, Johnsons, Mc-
Dounlds, Issues the proclamation, but
does it In n way to foster the very thing
ho is asked to condemn, and indirectly
Justifies wlmt ho Is Instructed to pro
hibit. Tlioso opposed to Ids mlscrahlo
pnrty lie terms “persons distinguished
for their hostility to tho Government
of tho United jjtntcs and this State.”
Democratic arguments against tho re
construction measures of Congress,
proinoto “acts of violence.” Demo
cratic discussion of tho issues of the
day “tend to excite resistance to tho
lawful authority of tho State, and to
persuade others to join in a combined
resistance to, nnd disregard of tho civil
rights of citizens.” Tho result of Dem
ocratic canvassing Is these very negro
drills and mobs “to protect themselves
by nrms.” •
Thus discourses lids impartial—
governor; tills Itadlcat tool; this mon
grel Instrument; this crenturo nf a fac
tion, who cannot even issue an ofllulal
proclamation, enjoining tho ignorant
nnd deluded negro to submit to the
law, nnd forego riotous conduct nnd
insurrectionary action, without making
n dirty fling nt tho Democratic party,
nnd covertly encouraging the negro in
tho very thing ho forbids, by telling
them they are justillcd.
Out upon such a vile thing. Demo

And whenever the negro is told that

Has it ever occurred to the people
of Tennessee to look into tho amount
of taxes they will l-.nvo lo pay this
year to support the Browtilow admin

year Avns tAventy-ilve cents on thu $100;
this year it is forty cents. The gross
lax on properly and polls Inst year
ninminled to £1.200,885. The increase
in the tax on property rill bring tills
lip to about $2,000,000. Add the tax
on privileges, nnd tho tax-payees will
find tlint they will ho called upon for
something more than three millions.—
Where does all tills money go ? it re
quires only about a quarter nf a mil
lion lo pay the Interest on the Statu
debt proper, and the hnllnnce, nearly
three millions, goes to •support the
ISrmvr.low administration and its pen

about nine-tenths of these taxes are

Wo recently mot ono or this class re
turning after a loud day’s work, carry-'
ing on his m-m a peek of meal; wo ac
costed him, and the following couvur-
unlion ensued:
“Well Jones, how do you got on?”
“Poor enough! It seems harder to
make n support for myself unit family
tlmn over before. I work lmvd, live
poor, don't drink nr lounge urottnd,
mid yet it is nit llmt I can do to livu,”
“ Well that Is not In he wondered at,
when you and other laboring men vote
year after year lo itureif-o your own
burdens. Times will grow harder un
til you oh: ngo your way of voting, mid
tuxes will Inci'oiiso."
"They can’t tax mo much, for I’ve
got nothing I"
“They can't eh ? Let’s sue! Wlmt
did llmt peck of meal cost you ?”
Tliiriy cents.”
Do you know what it costs to rnisu
n Imshel of meal ?”
“No,”
“it coals about fifteen or twenty
cents."
“The loyal people any you Copper
heads are mighty bail people nnd try
to deceive us working men, mid I lie
gin to believe it, lot- l know they don't
tax corn-meal,”
"1 think 1 can prove to you Hint
eorn-meal is pretty heavily taxed ”
“I'd hku lur you to do it, then.”
Well, the corn from which llmt meal
ivns made was raised on taxed land,
plowed by n taxed plow, drawn by tax
ed horses, hitched with taxed gears.—
It ivas lined with a taxed hoe, cullivu
ted ivilli taxed implements, gathered
in 11 taxed wagon? drawn with taxed
horses, thrown into a taxed erili, shell
ed on a taxed machine, measured in a
taxed measure, taken in iitaxed Mick,
ground on 11 taxed mill, seived with a
taxed seive, mixed ill it taxed pan,
stirred with n taxed spoon,salted with
taxed salt, put into a taxed hake pan,
halted in a taxed stove, laid out on 11
taxed pKRpr cut with a taxed knile,
and lastly eaten by 11 pretty heavily
taxed man.
“Wheiv! well, I'll sivah, Hint’s near
ly all taxes. J declare'to gracious 1
never looked at it (hut way before.”
if it were not for tlie taxes, you
toiilil liny, a bushel of meat for wlmt
tliul peek costs you. Besides, it is tint
mi that alone that you are taxed, buL
upon everything you Imve to buy. A
pound of Slicin' costs only three or four
cents, but you Imve to pay from sixteen
to twenty. A pound of cuffed only
costs ten cents, but you Imve to p-iy
thirty, nnd it costs you three hundred
dollars a year to support yonr family,
you limy,aglidy say .one-half of tiiM is
inx. Nowell nny wonder that limn;
are laird, mid tlint you find toxYiTucult
to live?
“it costs me more tlmn three hun
dred dollars a year to live. 1 used to
get only filly eints a day, and I lived
a great deal better then than I do non-
on a dolbin and n quarter. 1 see there
