These resolutions are admirable, both in matter and expression, and are receiving the warm approbation of the Democracy throughout the country. They are iu happy contrast with many of the ill-timed resolutions passed at various Democratic gatherings in other quarters, where less wise counsels prevailed Resolved, That with sentiments of profound gratitude to Almighty God we rejoice that the clash of arms is no longer heard in our land, and that the exterminating horror of war has ceased, and that peace, with its graceful and healing lnllu ence, pervades our borders. May that peace be perpetual.

The faithful adherence tothese principles will perpetuate peace, liberty and safety. Resolved, That the ballot is the right of every American citizen, to be restricted only by such limitations, as the public safety may require, and that the Constitution recognizes the right of the people of each state to prescribe the qualifications electors, a power the people ot the separate states comprising the federal Lnion have right fully exercised from the origin of tho government tue present tune.

Metals are whale The State Election- The annual State Election takes place uext Tuesday.

Iu ordinary times such aii election, occurring iu the first year of a uew national Administration, would have uo special political sig-uificaucy nor would it this year, except for the significancy which the radical Republicans, in advance of its occurrence, openly declare as attached to it. The politics of the country are ou the eve of redivision of parties, or of the break-np of parties and their separation and new formation, upon the great question of the re-organization of the lately rebel States and the Resumption of their federal relations to the Union. On this point President Johnson uuex-pectedly and unintentionally placed at the head of the Administration by the death of Mr. Lin coin has taken the Democratic ground, and thus far persistently adheres to it. The radicals are determined either to drive hitu from it, or else so obstruct his course that he cannot successfully carry it out.

They already announce him as adopting it only as a doubtful experiment, and they mean both that the experiment shall fail aud that President Johnson shall understand that the North dont approve of it. For this latter purpose they wish to use the Fall State elections. Any thing like a falling off of Bepublican votes aud a corresponding Democratic gain, would indicate unmistakably to President Johnson that the North approve Mb course while au opposite result would be cited by the radical Republicans as palpable evidence of the contrary. Viewed in this light, it will be seen that the coming elections assume great significancy and importance, and the value of every man's vote can be at once understood. Vermont, it is true, is radical-Republican, and no oue questions what will be the result of next Tuesday's election.

Nevertheless, if this result be brought about by a diminished Republican vote, and an increased Democratic vote is cast against it, the indication will be plain to that extent that the people of Vermont approve of President Johnson's Admin istration policy and will sustain him in carrying it out. Not only, therefore, should every Democrat be at the Polls on Tuesday whatever may have been his relations tojthe party organization in this State during the last few years, but every con servative Republican who approves of President Johnson's policy should either vote the Democratic ticket, or, if he declines to do that, Bhould refrain from voting the Republican one, lest by helping to increase that vote he unintentionally help to swell the cry of the radicals against that policy. Taxability of Government Bonus. The World of Saturday publishes a lengthy opinion from the Hon. Geo.

T. Curtiss, (recognized as one of the most profound constitutional lawyers in the oountry,) prepared a year and a half ago, in regard to the taxability of government bonds. Mr. Uurtiss concludes, as tlic result ot a care ful examination of the subject, that the national banks are not, as corporations, taxable by state authority also concedes that stocks of the United States are not subject to taxation by the States. Hut he shows by lucid and cogent reas oning, that although the corporations are not taxable by the states, the property of citizens in their shares is subject to the same liabilities as the oen- eral mass of personal property and also that the income ot dividends Irom suc'i shares can be tax ed by the states in which they are owned.

Shares in the stock of a national bank are the prope rty ot the holder, subject, like other property, to regulation by state laws. This property creates no relation between the holder and the general gov ernment wliicn a tax would impair, llie corpor ation is an agent of the government in its fiscal operation the federal stocks it buys are evidences of a contract to which the government is a party but the shareholders are neither agents ot the government nor parties to a contract withit, and do not therefore come within the operation of the principles on which exemptions from Btate taxations are made to rest. We do not repeat Mr. Curtiss' reasoning, but only state the conclusions to which it leads him. Comptroller Robinson, of this state, and the officer exercising similar functions in the State of Illinois, have directed the assessors of these states to make returns for the shares of banking institutions, and the legality of the tax on them is in a train to reach authoritative decision.

Albany Ar-gus. Radicalism in a Bad Way. The Ami-Slavery Standard found its only hope upon the impeachment of President Johnson. It mourns over the sad estate of the radical party as follows Day by day the fruits of our victories are tasen irom us anu nauued over to our enemies, by a man in whom, as bov. Perry of South Caro lina says, the South as complete confidence.

If the South has, the North certainly has not. Is there no remedy for this Are we to bear it for near five years more Evidently, unless the House of Representatives has the moral courage to impoach Mr. Johnson betore the Senate, the appointment ot these men, and their continu ance in office in open defiance of the law of the United States, oilers a sulhcient ground. Then let the House do the work which is before it, and liberate us from air. Johnson.

The New Bedford (Mass.) Standard is losinc faith in the President; it does not relish the appointment of Mr. Udell, a McClellan Democrat, it says, to be naval officer at New York, and intimates that Mr. Johnson's future policy indicates a betrayal of the Republican party.
