For Vice President, GENERAL LOW TAXES. Plenty of money, good Times, nnd a White Man's Government. AOAIN8T Heavy Taxes. Hard Tintea aud Negro Goventnint. WaM aw He Oaa-lag Tat" Wall may tha question fee at Iced, "what are we earning to?" Nave, indeed, the peojihj of the Nation folded their arms and resigned to the keeping of a body of tyrants their liberties? Can they he-hold wlthoat alarm the wry initrnment upon which their safety is founded undermined, disregarded and thrown aside, until the fabrio of free government begins to totter and fail There are break era ahead Is thero no way to guard agiinit them? It there uo means to which we can resort to punish uaufpera, tyrants, enemies to the liberties of the people? It seems not! Tha people look for nothing from Congress but violation of their privileges 1 They enquire, what is Congress doing? and then sadly nttcr, "what are we coming to?" It is plain enough! Slavery! Wo hold up our hands in horror, when the pspers tell us Congress hss done so and so.

To morrow we think no more of it, for another out rago is perpetrated by that body which engrosses our attention. It is no nightmare of the imagioatiou! It is true! The Conttilution of our country is abuted, violated, thrown atide! The power of the people it being usurped nay, it is only the shadow that is now deluding them. The man who haa stood at the helm of the ship hss held oat bravely against the mutinous crew! lie still battles fur your liberties sgsinst these usurpers but he wants your assurance. Democrats of Lincoln county, to you we ttpcfik I Over the country the nrtuy is Wmg organized that is to overwhelm the enemies of liberties in the coming five tions. Are you to be silent? Will you not raise your voice against usurpation-nay that you will be free? Organise! Do not fold your arms and rant about hard times, oppressive taxation nnd tha ihousiind other obstacles thst are opposing you.

You see plainly from whence come there troubles. Then strike at it. i'ot your energies at work against it You can accoinpliuh nothing without work. Uproot the rank weeks' that ulioke out the fruits of your labors that consume the salt nnd substance of your earth. Do not let the palladium of your liberties be overthrown, without; at least the shadow of resistance.

Certainly, in this county, there is lesj zeal among the Democrats although two, thirds of the citizens of the county are of that faith than in any other ctuuty of the State White the Radicals a fw honest ones there may be are warming in their bosoms the serpent that is to Mtiug them to death. "What are we coming to The Sprlag Elecfleas. In a few weeks State elections will tnko plate the comiug spring, commencing with New Hampshire, March 10th, and followed by Connecticut, April Gtb. There is good reason to believe New Hampshire will so Doniooratic; for msny of the leading Republicans have already joined the Democratic ranks. Charles Libby, a member of tlio Republican State Coinmittoe, has published a long letter, in which he says "I feel that the coun try demands, and mutt have, a change of rukrt, and feeling so, I can no longer act Ktlh the Republican party, but shull give uy vote and iiiflaence in favor of the Democratic party."

A squad of freedmen, who had been stealing hogs, waylaid the constables, a posse of whom were searching for them wi'li a warrant for their arrest. Two white men were killed, one mortally wounded, and five severely. One negro was wounded and-arrested. Several per-mju)- are in search of the murderers.

There is a tide in tho affairs of parties wk-ith taken at tha flood; leads to the devil. Th Republican! in Congress have, for some time, shown a iatal facility for drift in toward that tide, but never till yestcr ilay have the struck it so squarciv Vi 'Whilt the Senate was in secret ses sion fnrelng upon the President a cabinet officer dismissed for perfidy to His employ er. the House was indulged in the novel experiment of legislating the Supremo Uourt out1 of existence, "and' one of tho metubere had eravelv renorted from a committee" a bill to 'creato tho office of military dictator over ten elates or the Onion, la give the entire control pf th'o wink of reconstruction" to the General of the Army en' officer notrcinonidble to Congress or'the people, nor known to the Constitution of the united States. This laat is a measure so utterly at variance with the theory of our Government that the wonder Is' it cuuld hare been listened to for a moment in a deliberative body organised under the. Constitution of the United slates.

And yet it came from Mr. Bingham, unquestionably the ablest lawyer on the 'Republican tide of the Hoase. and Who, two years ago, would probably have laughed at such a thing and called it the emanation of a foolish brain. Br this bill, the work of reorganising tho government of the States lately in rebellion is taken entirely out of the hands of the President, and intrusted to General Grant. Well, aupposc Genoral Grant sees fit to transcend the limits of law in the execution of theso dutioe, what caaCoogreetdoaboatit?

New York Commercial Adverl'uer. The Springfield Rcpublicsn lately ssid: "The first seotiou of the new rcconmruc tinn bill declares that the St-jte govern ments of the excluded States ahull not be recognized as valid either by the ex ecutive or judicial power of the United Statoe." The court has hevcral important suits beforo it hinging upon this question of the validity or the soutlieni ntate gov eruments.

The Cast af Negro fjomBBent. Th aggregate expenses of the negro government is appalling. In ndditiou to thu fl.50U.000, appropriated previously, the second deficiency bill gives 057,000 more retching the enormous sum of $2,157,000 lor the expenses ct elections only, in tho Southern States. The deficiency in the Quartermaster Uenernl's department is $12,007,000, a large proportion of wliich is for the sup port oi troops in the South to keep tho whites in subjection to the negro. Ucneral Howard, the chief of the Freed men's asks for the modest sum of 110,850,205 55 to pay tha salaries of clerks, and for school books, to teach the young African idea how to shoot.

The largest Item is 91,500 000 for'subsistence, and the nett largest is 5800,000 for trans porti tion, and round halt million is asked lor the mcdical dcpartmcnt, whose principal business is probably among the dissolute ot both sexes. In addition to till this, the army cti mutes amount to $130,000,000, in a time of peace, tho army being mainly engaged in lorcing ruilical Maek-wlnte revolution ary government upon the South The south, bcHides having to pay her share ol this enormous taxation, is to reed to sup puitand ray the mongrel cauvcntion- alirts. If ever a people had a right to aebol ugainst tyraiinicul Government, the people of this country poscss that right. There no community ol' individual on earth so heavily taxed money is so recklessly squandered, whose rights are so flagrantly violated, whose will is so inso lently derided, as the people of tho Uni ted States. Tho whole machinery of this outragoous Krecdinen's Bureau is but an hotioneerwg invention, to enable Nor- tnern Radicals to govern the South, cud we at the North pay a double price fur every article we eat or wear or use, and tamely submit, while the radicals rivet their chains upon us and oppress and do-grade our white brethren.

Either the people will prevent the expenditure ot one Hundred and ntty millions or dollar? cipondod to insnro tha dominance of the Radical party and the negro, or tbey it i. win repuuiaio me ueoi. nnttung is surer than thut. We may deprecate repudiation; we may call it bad faith, or waste our time in finedrawn theories of its disastrous tendencies, but they will not cheek the tendenoy of the masses.

If the Radieal party ia determined upon tho elevation of tho negro, not only to an equality with, but nn absolute superiority to i nc oouinern wmte, they must pay tbe pe tally, and should pay it without murmuring, t'nw hundred and fifty uillions of dollars are now yearly expended in the interest of four millions of negroes, who produco nothing, save nothing, do not even oaro their own living, but are a dead weight and tncubua upon the industry Mr. Bingham on the same in tho Federal House Represen tatives a joint resolution to declare that that amendment had become a part of the Constitution by the mere ratification of three-fourths of the "loyal States," instead or tnree-tourths or all the estates, as the Constitution requires. The action of Ohio, in rescinding it ratification may not pro-vent Congress from adopting Mr. Bingham's' resolution. But it is a very distinct notification that Ohio, a Loyal State, will not eeneede the legality of the Jaeo bin assumption nor reeogniso such action on it part a oiuding.
