The only question in the Cut'ing case is, did he ciiculate the libel he published, in Mexico? If he did, the Mexican governu ent had the right to i try him; and if conviction resulted, . to pu< ish him as their law directs. If ( be did publish the libel in Texas, and , did notcirculate or reuse them to be circulated in Mexico, he cannot be punished. Any law that the Repub i lie or any one of the Slates may i have, making it illegal for a man t< . do in another country what he has been forbidden iodo in Mexico, will not be recognized in the United States, and the govern mentis bound to protect its ci'izens from the oper- I ations of such a law. Just what was proven in Cutting’.-. > trial is a matter of doubt. The Mex . ican minister declares in IPushing , 'ton that the circulation in Mexico of the libel by Cutting was completely establish* d. On the othet hand, the point made against him in the trial J was that he broke his forced agree ment of reconciliation with Medina. . and repeated the libel by pub ishing . it in Texas; that it was republication r of the libel, that is, the breaking of j the agreement of reconciliation and j. the contempt of the court that enfor ced it, which made him liable. Teh.- * grams to prominent papers seem to agree that i was not proven that Cut ting circulated or caused to be circu lated the libel in Mexico. If, then, it is true that Cutting re ally circulated the libel in Mexico,he is right!i lly convicted, ar d this gov » erument will have to wiihdraw its 1 demands and be content to ask as a 1 matter of courtesy a modification nf the sentence. If, on the other hand, > Cutting has not been lawfully con -5 vicled.’he demands must be enforced ' - > plomatic inquiry will at once be insti tuted to determine the points describ ed. It is to be hoped that Secretary Bayard lias not acted hastily in his i demands. It would be humiliating for the United Slates to have to * withdraw its'demands after the Mex icans haw hurried guns and soldiers i io the frontier, and the humiliation * would rest upon the Ifom mralic t party. But justice must be done at all hazards, pvrty nt no party. The Burden of Taxation. One of the way s the Inn den of tax* atiori is shifted from the alrudders of wealth, on to the shoulders oi poverty. B.

The per petuation of good government, or a bad part}? When we «ay common people, we know that, taking the self estimate of a large majority of men, there won dbe no lommon peopb; there-' fore we view men from an individual standpoint and see all men, except, ourself, “as others see us.”and so see ing. we ask you as an individual one of the people, in a'l seriousness, what will you vain by the election to office, of this, that or the other man if there is no other than the question of man involved? Again, do you not suffer in common with all the com mon people by voting office a man you regard as corrupt and unfit to administer the affaiis of your government, even tho’his nomination to office is at the hands of s party with which you affil’at*? Docs not the fact that such a man can secure the nomination of the party, prove that party is no longer worthy your affiliation? And if you indorse this action, by voting for. this corrupt nominee, are you not equally respon sible, before God and man,for the ev il effects of putting such a man in office, as is the instigator of the fraud and chicanery by which the nomination was secured?. We believe them is a principle in, law,and that it is a correct princepie , bolding a party who becomes con versant withihe perjietralion of a crime and fails to divulge it, as himself guilty, as accessory; upon that same principle, are not you, who, knowing the crime of foisting an unworthy officer upon the people is being com mitted, yaurself guilty ofj the crime' whenever you not only fail to divulge, but aid with your vote. And what can be thought of a man who opposes a candidate upon high moral grounds asserting and proving the candidate unworthy, in every respecr, the pdsi- 4 tion he seek*, who just so soon as this immoral, unworthy and viclotts candidate secures the no mntM r by what methods^—luHts a complete political summersault a d’ votes frito offiefe thi* trnprincipled in n ? The people who give the sub*.' ject a thought wij any you were ei u lher l\ing, for effect, when you w‘crfi denounoi n g the man, or cine, \ou I have not the courage of you* ( convictions and would rather ‘tlie' people would suffer from th.*! bad ad T minis ration of a ba-i man, than that your party—your dear party, and. such a party is a very dear party to the people—will suffer. And so it. s<*cms >hat in the estimation of men, party is superior to con try; sink, sink, the country, death to patriotic emotion; but save, oh! save the par-- ty. And men have allowed them selves to become so bound to party chat when its existence is at stake, patriotism, Christianity, morality, charity, brotherly love and neighbor ly ami'y, must give place to the p*r tv, giving no regard to principles, policy or economical administration. Men go to the polls and vote them selves into bondage, an I then, when the chains of theirown make begin to chafe and gaul their fl :sh, they cry out damnation to hard times, *nd , trj’ to make a senpe go it of nature and nature’s God. And so they suffer and weaken until the next election gives them another opportunity, when agtin they go to the polls and put additional rivets, links and barb* into iheir chains. These things you do my friends,pt the common people,an<i you do more, you attack oneofyoar number who would do better, and try to force him to keep and hug and fondle hisolaos, and like whipped dogs lick the hands of those who smite you. You ostra cise and villify one who would lie free, and would Xhat you should be also free. You go to conventions and see and feel the < ffects of trickery and fraud. You realize the injus- j tice and wrong that is done. You denounce the wrong until election d»y, and then you go to the pulls and vote to sustain it, and that i* ex actly what th j jjerpetrators oi the wrongs knew you would do, and is sufficient justification for them., to practice tbe saase or a moreattro eious fraud in Ute next campaign.
