The Kevt 1 iti r.t Ai'ioiuuiishodOne
of the iilost singular manifestations of
the facility wi'.li which a j#ot?j.io are enslaved,
and tlie whole fabric of society changed
without moving or distuihiug the great body
of the people, is presented in the condition
of this country :it this moment, and fur the
last six yea 4. The States are shorn of all
the attributes of sovereignty, and the power
of control over their own p >licy. The power
to regulate the suffrage, the foundation of
all self g'vernuicnt, is taken away. Tire
right to the exclusive administration of justice
among its own citizens, and the punishment
of offenders against their own laws,
committed upon their own soil, is abridged
at pleasure. Their election of Senators and
Members of Congress arc set asida at the
w.ll of others. Their laws are suspended
and martial law established at the will of the
Federal Executive. The Federal Courts
are packed lur p ilitieal ends and juries ECselected
fur partisan purposes. T& governments,
State and Federal, arc controlled by
cliques and cabals, and everywhere is manifested
the most wrcckless profligacy and corruption
in the administration of public affairs.
Yet with all this, the people arc seemingly
blind to the fate which awaits them, or bow
r,/\,?L-c- tvi i.lv,- fin- flirt fvrniit.'s vr.L->>
How neatly the revolution is accomplished,
is indicated by the following paragraphs,
which we copy from a ct temporary:
"It is now discovered that one certain effcc.
of the fourteenth amendment and the
legislation under it is to give this (the IT. S.
Supreme) Court the power to control the
State judiciary and to expound State legislation
on nearly every subject, and cert tinly
on questions never before considered reviewable
here; and it is strongly suspected that
to accomplish this end was the purpose of J
those originating the meant res, and that S
they are but steps of a series toward the ultimate
centralization of the .government by
means of a constitutional and legislative
enactment. ** >'
The amen dine it declares that "no State
shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of cititfwns
of the I 'jiited States." and the second
6edhm of the judiciary act (enacted just after
lire adoption of the amendment) provides
an appeal to the Supreme Court l'roui .the
highest courts of the States, in any case
where "any privilege or immunity is claimed
underlie Constitution and the decision is
against the privilege or immunity." So that
iu any suit brought Lu auy State under any
State Jaw, the party has only to plead, whether
truly or untruly, that his ''privileges or
i immunities" as a citizen of the United States
are "'abridged*' by the statute t?f the State
and he can have an appeal t?tho Supreme
Court of United States if the .decision of the
State Court it-ad verso to his plea, and the
Federal eunrt determines whether the citizen
is oppressed by the Jaws of his own
State, or whether in any manner his privil
eges, &<?., are ''abridged," and thus the State
judiciary ceases -to have final jurisdiction
under the local constitution and laws, .and
the judicial p< wer of the St; t j li.is ceased to
exist as a tribunal independent oftl e FeV.a'
power. Nearly every-authority or statute of
a State abridges in some form the natural
rights of the citizen.) and whenever this occurs,
as it must in almost tv ry instance of
the exercise of State auth r 'y. or of prosecution
or suit under State law, the Federal
court has appellate jurisdiction and final docisioa.
If the prostitute, who walks by irght,
the gain1 dor wlio inveigles and destroys the
youths of cities, or the ring which plunders
& corporation, choose to consider their rights
to do nny those things ''abridged," by the
exercise of Slate authority to prohibit them,
they or either of them may have an appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United iStates
to adjudicate and determine the question for
the State authorities, and the latter must
submit to such revision. The result of all
this will be that the Sep "erne Court will lay
down the law for all the people, as citizens
of tlw United States, no longer under the
control authority of the States in which
they reside, except the Federal Court shall
by chance concur in the decision of the
State court, and all the conscqucimccs attending
upon a composite form of government
will follow. '1 he law throughout the
country will become uniform, and the decisions
of the different States will no longer be
at variance, because the final detern ination
of all issues of importance will be had at the
hands of the some Judges."

Sh?;i Continue to Pny Tribute

Mr. Editor:?In the 1. sb issue of the
Journal, you have advised a course of procedure.
which seems to me so ruinous in its
consequences, if adopted, that I am reluctant
ly compelled to ask tnc use 01 your columns,
to warn the people against it. It is so entirely
impracticable ::s a scheme of relief, that
little fear cf its adoption need be entertained:
but it is of the last importance to the people
that they deceive nut themselves, b)
vague and fallacious hopes of relief from the
burthens of this infamous and oppressive
government.
You have. Mr. Editor, high authority foi
your plan of resistance. The Tax-payer's
Convention of last year was called on the
same leading ideaas that advanced Injyoujbul
prudent men failed to see the feasibility ol
the suggestion, and the Convention was
happy to avail itself of what seemed to he an
alternative.
You advise the people to pay no more taxes.
Let us see what would be the practicai
operation of such a course of conduct.
We arc to have a stamp act which require?
a stamp to all legal process, and upen all
the important papers required for the transaction
of the affairs of daily life. These
stamps are necessary for the legal validity ol
such documents. Can you, ?Ir. Editor} can
any one, avoid the payment of that tax. without
locking the wheels of business, and throwJ
ing society into chaos?
The next form ol tax is the proposed license
laws. Under heavy penalties, to be
j enforced by the Criminal Courts, it is prc!
hibitcd to pursue any of tlie employments
I named, without first having paid for and ob'
tained a license from our masters, permitting
j the people of this happy laud of freedom to'
| transact their lawful business. Is it not evident,
Mr. Editor, that this tax also must he
paid, or the burthencd employment be abandoned
?
This brings us to the regular, direct tax
upon property, real and personal. What will
be the effect of refusing to pay this tax ? As
to personal property, the question is soon
! answered. It is seized by the tax-gatherer
j and sold to the highest bidder, and the owner
is at once deprived of his property. As to
this kind of property, then, the proposed plan
will not work.
Real Estate of delinquents would be advertised
and sold, as required by the tax law.
Town property, as a whole, a..d other lands
in fractions, according to the amount of the
tax. If there be no bidders, the property
is forfeited to the State. It is an error to
suppose the purchaser to have no immediate
right of possession. He will unquestionably
have this right, as may be seen by reference
to the tax act of September, 1SGS. Sec. 113.
117. If there be no bid. the property is forfeit
d to the State, and then there i? tmriyht
of rr. /rtnp'inn off nj'ci(<<1 lumls. If there
was a general dJierm%a i n on the part of
land holders to pay no tax, of course it would
involve the add.tional resolve to refrain from
bidding at tax-sales. The radicals would
not bid. because they could do better, as 1
shall show, consequently the lands of the citizens
would be, as a whole, fori" i ed and
vested in the State Government, without liability
to redemption. What would the government
do with the lands? In the first
p'ace. the astute, corrupt and unscrupulous
persons who are sustained in power by^ the
pan-j ui jMiit uiuitunj i/111o uiaiv.
would make those lands the basis of extensive
financial operations, whereby they would
raise more money lor their purposes than
they have heretofore done by taxation and
the fraudulent issue of bonds. They would
dispose of them to their political partisans
and corrupt adventurers, who would swarm
hither as vultures to a carcass of festering
fatness. The old Carolina families would be
turned out as homeless and penniless wanderers
on the face of the earth. This is the
"consummation devoutly to be wished," by
the radicals of South Carolina and their
Washington friends. Conjiscufion is their
object, and they will be rejoiced if we can be
c ltrnppcd into assisting its accomplishment.
These rulers have prepared the way for it
diligently. They have stimulated the prejudice
of race; inflamed the malignity horn
of slavery; poisoned the cars of the masses
with the doctrines of the commune; taught
them that all accumulation of propertyfcvas
rightfully theirs; and that the property holders
were but successful plunderers of the laborers
whose toil enriched them. Could
anything more uetigut those people trian our
voluntary surrender of'tho rights of property.
to fill their pockets and insure the means
of perpetuating their own wealth and power''
i think, Mr. Editor, that you will agree
with me that your plan will not work. What
then, can we do? It is pn?pi s d to tax us
' tliis year at. the rate of about Jirc milh'oi $ of,
1 dollars?say sixty thousand bales of cotton?
I more than the value of the rent of all the
! arable lands of the Slate. About
; one half the interest at scran jvr
I cent upon the wlmle assessed value of ail
' property in the State, liable to taxation.?
[ Shall we pay it ? Yes! it must be paid; or
we are ruined, and our tyrants rejoice.?
They will be gladly sustained by Federal
bayonets and a negro militia if we resort to
opeu resistance, and your passive poiiey will
not work. There is hut the one alternative,
i Let the people, therefore, pay the robbers
I their subsidy, until reason ami justice resume
j their sway. Prepare for it now. Estimate
the needed sum, and then turn to the narrow
] mnvajK of home affairs and personal expenses,
retrench and economize and save the tribute
money. Dispense with Yankee whiskey.
clothes, hoots and shoes, silks, satins,
| velvets, trinkets and gewgaws of foreign
make. They are but the gilded chains that
bind us in slavery. They constitute the
medium of a taxation less obvious, but equally
iniquitous and galling as lliat of the State
Government. Jt would be easy lbr the most
of us to save enough from these sources to
pay the other plunderers. Let us live as
our patriotic people did during the war.?
'flu duly is quite as imperative and sacred.
Thus the plain garb of honest industry, will
h uorahlv distinguish our people, from their
successful plunderers, clad in purple and
i fine linen, badges of their infamy and shame,
j Thus we will laugh at the tax-gatherer, and
j defy the poverty wh'ch threatens us. Thus
i we li ill cease tr emulate the vices and follies
of cur oppressors, strengthen our people in
i public virtue, and be better prepared to humble
ourselves under the mighty hand of God,
j and awa t with patience, that relief wbi.di
i shall surely cojuc to those that trust in
j Him. CENSOlt.

"What are they worth?" asked the clerk,

know what was the risk. Tnc young man

Tuf. Cheat Hair PitonucitR.?ITuir
Oils, Pomatums and Pomade have had their
day. They belong to the musty past. Nobody
that understands tiie chemistry of the
hair and the philosophy of its growth thinks
of using thcui. Instead of clogging the pores
of the scalp with thick ongucnts, and thus
obstructing the insensible perspiration which
is essential to the health of the f bers, we
now tone the suface of the head with an invigorating
nj plication which penetrates to
the roots of the hair and stimulates them in
the same way that the fertilizing agents
spreads over the meadows stimulate the grass
routs and cause the blades to spring up in
uiyrads, coating the earth with verdure
The in vigorant best adapted to this purpose
is Lynn's Kathairon. It may well be called
the JbtiHzi r of the head. To the b.irrcn scalp
it communicates vegetative powers. If the
hair is dropping out or becoming dry and
'withered, it .'trusts the process of dilapidation
or blight. The hair thickens and becomes
%
glossy and flexible under its genial operation
and as a dressing it is unapproachcd by any
preparat ion thai has yet bee laid on tho toilet
of Fashion.
If youdesire rosy cheeks and a complexion
fair and free from Pimples and
Blotches, purify your blood by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Aledical Discovery. It has
no equal for this purpose.

What Dyspepsia may end In.?Indigcstiou
is not dangerous, say the faculty.?
Perhaps not in itself, while it remains mere
indigestion; but look at the consequences to
which it may lead, and often docs lead when
! it becomes a chronic disease. A spark of
j fire is a small thing. A pressure of the foot
I will put it out; a breath will extinguish it.
Vet it may fire a powder mill, or kindle a
flame that will consume a city. In like manner
indigestion may produce gastritis, cancer
of the stomach, congestion of the bowels,
apoplexy, liver disease, and many other dangerous
maladies. Is it not wise, then, to
cheek it in the germ'( Nothing is more clearly
and indisputably established than that
llostettor'a Stomach Bitters will eradicate
dyspepsia in all its stages. The true policy,
however, is to extinguish it in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and infallible
tonic arid alterative it is easier to quench
a spark than a flame, and it is easier to cure
dyspepsia when it is first developed, than
when it has made headway by neglect, and be
come complicated with other ailments. There
is not the shadow of a doubt that the bitters
are as directly antagonistic to dyspepsia as
water is to fire. There are thousands of
eases on record proving this fact. The remedy
is safe at id agreeable. All the liquors of
commerce prescribed as stimulants leave a
st ing behind. ]>ut the sting is taken out of
the spiritous basis of this great remedy by
vegetable medication, and, moreover, the
stimulant thus medicated is of exceptional
purity. Of all tonics taken as safeguards
or remedies for fever and ague, bilious reuiittants.
and other epidemics, it is the only
one that can uniformly be depended on.
