tha New York Htrm'.d, ia tha Coiled State,
and in tha British poesaraioaa of North '

Oar ancestors seceded from England wad
fought a seven year*' war to keep troaa being
taxed by the mother country, and aa- (
tabtuhed a cheap Government that bae (
controlled, till reeently, the taxpayers? ,
Now British subjects in America, lire free ,
and ara lightly taxed, wkllat era ara ap- ,
pressed with grievone burdens, and the j
taxes are levied very much (or the benrfit |
of the tax recalvers. Our rulere tax for |
the accommodation of tha few, and are
sustained by the meeaee of unreasoning sod
unthinking people, who think they pay no
tax; and many sko'da are deluded hy the ,
cry of patriotism and the glory of the
country. Now, government is a good thing <
to have, but there is no need of its costing : (
so much ; and it the masses of the people
were really intelligent in financial matters, |
they would very socn put an end to the J
abuse of the taxing power.

practically, has been extended over all doesee
. African alavery consisted essentially
in the right to take all the profit* of the
labor of the tinea, the master securing to
him and hit family a home, clothes and
food. But the slavery of bardenaoroe taxation,
wot kt for the toiling mas?es I lit tame
result. They mutt find themselves and pay
taxea on every thing they consume, to mag- t
ni'y the wealth of the millionaire bondhold- f
art and large capitalists. A heavily taxed t
prople ar? thus made the slaves of office- i
holders and the owners of the publio debt. (
The property aod labor Of the oonntry be- *
longs to tbtta, and the laet mentioned class, ?
the bondholders, are not even required to d
pay any taxes whatever on their Govern- 1
ment stock. It is impossible that we shall ^

now, or too inoeli tinder the influence of j

but it ia to be hoped a brighter day i* coming,
when the people will no longer euhmit
to be the mere tools and slave* of the do
signing. Future elections will show.

The Infallibility of the Pope.
From all account*, the Papal doctrine of
InfltUibilty is to find trouble from the great
powers of Europe. The nations with whjeh
the Chureh has betn so long connected,
esm very natumlly to conclude that they
have roroe right* to be respected, and don't
wish the Pope recognised as God'a Vicegerent
to bind sad loose the conscience* of
their subject*. 7 hi* is a cheering sign. The
civilised world will learn, after a while'
that Jesus Christ slone is Priest and King
in His Church, and that no aarthly power
or hierarchy, has a right to establish dog
mas and rules binding on tb* consciences
of men, nor to take from or add to Hi*
Word. Ecclesiaat ical tyranny and central;
ization, prepares men for eivil despotism
and centralized power. The frienda of free
Government, whether they belong to any <
church or not, have a deep interest in these fl
ecclesiastical questions, although they may f
think nothing of them aod acorn their consideration.
^
The French Government, nnd also Ans *
tria, it is believed, has notified the Tape '
that hist doctrine of Infallibility i* not to be
insisted on. France has given him to understand
that if the Ecumeoical Council
ratifies the Iofaliibilty dogma, that the "
French troop* will be withdrawn from ^
Rome and the Pope left to tak* care of his ^
Government an beat be can. This ia an age J
of some progress in religious liberty, cspe j

The Beftaoa and it* Danger#.
The Intra an body is cbisdy computed of tis

the conditio* ot the atmosphere as the most
delicate electrometer, or the quicksilver in a
barometer tub*.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, thslnngs,
and the excretory organs are cspocially liable
to be affaeled by these variations, and the best
defence against their disastrous tendency is to
keop the digestive machinery, which feeds and
nouiisbes tbo whols system, in good workiog
order.
If the stomach is weak or disordered neither
the blood nor tha bile caa be la a healthy
tant fluid* Tor the office." a*tlgn*d to them kjr
nature, and the regularity of their flow, hea'th
in a great meaiure depend*.
When the air it heavily laden with chilling
vapora, at it often I* at thtt teatnn of the year,
the digestion thoald he an ohjeet of peculiar
care. If it ie weak and languid, the whole
pbytioal tlructuro will be eaetvated. If it it

The tinuacli will thereby be toned and
