Thi New York Herald advocates, nay, srgta, the immediate imposition by tbe Linoola Congress of direct Uxes sufficient to raise en Annual snm of one bondred And fifty millions of dollars, ia Addition, of coarse, to tbe amount to be realised from tbe Already existing sources o revenue. Tbe Herald says this must be done or tbe credit ol the Union is gone, and a pAoie of tbe most lesrlal char-J trier may Ve expected.

A decree must go forth from Oca- lir Lincoln that a11 tbe world of tbe Northern Statu hsJl be tAxed that All the dwellers therein shall be taxed in their rising up end their silting down, in their teting And tbeir driuking, in their sickness end their beeJib, in tbeir living end tbeir dying. Now that won't work satisfactorily. Getting in debt, like going down hill, is easy enough, but psyirg is tie mischief, and paying so enormously before the first year b over, is tbe very diaboloi himself to all but tbe specu fetors, contractors end politicians, And all can't be con tractors And speculators. Illinois, with corn At nominal prices, And whiskey dog-cheap Ohio, with pork At lall rates, And other western produce in proportion, will fiod it pretty herd to pay seven or eight millions ol dollars direct taxes, in Addition to the Already existing burthens of tbeir Federal state end municipal governments. Tbey cannot do it. And they won't.

We frai kly admit tbat the tendency or tulnirs doe aeemlo point ia this direction. Tbe Kiench Govern- mem it is eaia osa inatrooted I's Minister at Waablegt a to aak tba United btatee Uovernm'nt plumply, "Are the Con federatea belliger nta or rebeU?" let the answer be what it may, Hewerd will fiud it Impossible to reouncils it with existing facta In respect to the blorkade. 1 at the question again and sgaio corona back will Franco or England, or both combined, really and practically raise tbe blockade? Tbey may certainly. There ia no reason, as we luck at tbe buslneaa, why they should not. And this haa been the truth for mure than six months pat. Yet tbe blockade bas remained, and the great port ot New Orleans be beea hermetically aealed to ibe-eoumerce of the world ail that Mane, and may continue ao for six months lunger an less w ourselves bieek tbe seal. Here ia the pinching rolnt. r-hail wa pern it the port to reaiaio closed el mouth iDger withont making a bold vigorous, ae. a dt-sprste eUort to open itf Wa say no. and wa beireve tbi is ill vo ce of aLrnoet tba eotire eomivaalty both in towa and country.

Jpa tha port ot New orleene, then, and cotton moves. With that rrovemeut everything else would move. Every department of tbs goveroment would leel a thrill aa if ao eleotrlo epark bad abut through aad through It. The heart or every uian ia the Confedera cy would bound, euoh a pean would saluie lbs eais of our enenile aa would transfix thsm with despair. We da be lieve the war wtU'd be virtually at an end; but if It should not be, if tbe enemy, bent upon absolute a lf-destructioo, should leaolve to keep up tbe stupid a. d ma'ignant at tern t lo annoy aa, wa ehoald have reoeived such energies through tba movement ef car great atau es aa would enable us to carry oa the war mora vigorously than ever, end lib lew eonacliia bnrdena, a log aa it might suit ths sneuy to wage it, Tbe best wty to obtain foreign aid, we rneao tba best way to cause foreign poweis to insist upoo their own rights oiider tbe law of nation! la respect to our cuuimetoe, u to show them ih t we are competebt to open our owa porta.

Let tb b'gal organ of tbe Htate, then, boldly Uke thia ball of tha blockade by tha horn and make an effort at least, and a plucky and wise one, tp wrenoh them ont by tbe root. Nobody will stand apoa the manner ol doing it, provi led it ia doe. . 1 he beuata of tbe Stale baa takeu action la tb preojieea. Tbe action that baa been bad, bas tor ita object substantially tbat wbioh we bava dese:nated. AhoreaUralloa of tha commeree ot Sew Ur.eans to the world. It i proposed to form- a Naval Board of five, to be appointed by the Uoveroor, to provide war vesaele to ao oomplish tbia great object. If tbe bill can be improved In any particular, let it be done by all means. Let there be no Bohemias; or party or personal feelings mixed up with it. Thia li no day for auch a spectacle, and wo to tba man who is found intriguing for any private interest when such public one abaorb the energies of a whole peo ple. Let there be an exhibition of self abandenoient, a irauk and manly determination to act with a aingla eye to the maguifioent end aimed at. Let tbe Legislature consult praoticitl men, about detail, and obtain all tbe light posai bla. W believe tha Uoveroor wonld appoint aa auch a Board ot practical men who could not be tbimble-rigged into any scheme for tb promotion or private intereata. No ao having any reputation to loie would dare, it base eoongb, thus to act. While the almost vigilance should be exercised over the acta of the government in all respects, since 'eternal vigi lance ia the price of liberty," that disposition that would see Id avary man a villain ia a moat execrable one, and la by no meaua coaiplimentarv to him who entertains It. Tne objection t an efljrt of tbe State to open It princi pal port, and the prlaoipal on la tbs Great Valley, ia tha expense, borne people ar eoared at the word pa' v. Let it be unproar nnced, then. It ia nnnecesaa-y to call tbe vea 1 which tb Htate may provide a -navy. They will not be ao to faet. A to tb oust i Tb revived commerce which would follow theopeniugof the port would pay tbe expense in a month. 1 hi ia a sufficient answer, but there ia anoth er which may be more ealisfactory to some. We believe the Conlederat Government will cheerfully refund to the Btite. at tha cles of tbe war, every dollar a he may expend for tbia purpose. Can any body doubt it f The restoration of the commerce el New Orleans would be that of the com mere of tha Confederacy. For the accomplishment ol uoh an object, could not tb Confederate Government af ford to reimburse Louisiana for ber outlay f Wonld a single voioe b raised against it throoghout the Confederacy 7 Hardly, ws think. We do not eounael any hasty action. On tba contrary, let tba utmost deliberation prevail, so tbat whatever ia don may b cnaractenced by good acnes, pat rioti-im and practical aagaoity ; so tbat the measure adopt ed may b at one compreheoaiv and efleeiual.
