Committee have decided to report bill to consolidatethe tax , on whiskey at sixty-five cents per gallen, 'and make the tax on tobacco uniform at twenty cents per pound. r, The oner ous provisions now in force relative to the distillation' of. grain, .will be re; moved, and all whet desire to engage in the manufacture of spirituous liquors, can do so. ;TEo only revenue be col lected ,by; the government will be the sixty-five cents on each gallon - It is to be hopedihat. this bill will yiass at once. Itrwill jBimplify! theliq uor laws? vcr mnch, andtraise mdre revenue for'the government! The'uni- form tax' of. twenty cents on tobacco will be of great advantage to manufac tures, and will' raise -additional reve nue. Our Representatives in Congress will be derelict in their duty if they do not support this biU. ; , : ' -'.. !l u j I Li i r i TiifiTrT Stttitt- Wfi armrcciate the feel- ings of those kind friends who have given - i jv expression to fears that we shall be injured pecuniarily and in our business for the ex ercise of a manly principle, the inherent and legal right of all ; and that we would make enemies of former friends. This all may come to pass, if any so will it We can only say that, in taking our course, we have not-measured results by dollars and cents; and friendships that can be so easily severed are hardly worth preserving. Statesville i i i tj - w r American. An honest people, who love liber ty, will sustain our cotemporary. The proscription of the Radical Democracy cannot stifle public opinion as it has done in the past ; neither can it crush truth to the earth to rise no more. The American is to be honored for its stand on the side of Liberty and Right. The people are sovereign and will sustain true Republican principles, as advoca ted by The American. Election Law Unconstitutional Legislation. Speaking: of 'the election law The Charlotte Democrat says: We see that some of the Republican pa pers are complaining because, as they say, the law requires each voter to vote in the Township in which he resides, and with a ballot printed or written on white paper and without device. N registration allowed on day of election. ' We have no objection to the above pro visions, for we are in favor of guarding the ballot box against fraud in every possible tay. ; " We carenothing about the restric tion to white paper and xcithout device. There are few voters who can be fooled into voting a ticket other than that whlch they desire.to vote. .We object to a violation of the Constitution' for any purpose; especially when that vio lation is papable, outrageous, and is ex pected to make votes for the Demo cratic party. Section seven of the election law is as follows : J No elector shall be entitled to register or vote in any other precinct or townshp than the one in which he is an actual and bona y?fe resident on the day of election, and no certificate of registatioa shall be given- Article six, section one of the Consti tution is as follows: Every male person born in the United States, and every male person who has been naturalized, twenty-one years old, or up ward, who shall have resided in this State twelve months next preceding the election, and thirty days in the county in which "he offers to vote, shall be deemed an elector. -The -restriction -laid down by the Constitution is confined to the courrty notthe township. A residence in the State of twelve months and thirty days in the county, makes the elector a voter anywhere inside the limits of his county. It was not Intended that suffrage should be restricted to the township. If such had been the intention, the following words or others of similar import, would haye been added to section one of article six as quoted above: "And no elector shall vote in any precinct or township than the one in which he is an actual and bona fide resident on the day of election." The addition of this Sentence would havVgiven the Legislature authority; which that body, in violation of their oaths, presumed to exercise by ignor ing one of theplainest provisions of the Constitution. Sun at meridian, It is as plain as the that the attempt to restrict : suffrage by compelling each elector. to vote in the township where h0 resides, is a gross and inexcusable violation of section one, article six,T of the Constitution. " J , ,; t;; This unwarrantable act of the Leg islature was committed in the interest of the Democratic party. We charge that party - with a direct and flagrant violation of the Constitution. Will The Democrat or any other opposition paper uphold the ' Legislature in its warfare upon the organic law of the State? We want no dodging of this question; Whai Democratic luminary wiU como to the defense of the Legislature? - v" ; Speech of UoZ B. Vance, at StatesTille. This effort of-Gov.

The People, (thank flnfl ! nrA nt, Inst heinni nor to" think God n are at last bearinninsr to think and act for themselves. They see peace and prosperity almost within their grasp. Naught mars the prospect but the renewal of the cowardly Ku Klux. and these Gen. Grant and the American masses are determined to nut down. Let the hero of two lost fields understand this at once, and act accordingly. " Alas ! Poor Yorick !" How have the mighty fallen ! Liberal Convention. The Liberal Bepublican Convention, as it is called, meets in Cincinnati on Wednesday, the first day of May. The acts of this Convention may redound to the good of the Republic ; and they may serve to bolster.up the sinking cause of Democracy, which will endan ger uie peace ana prosperity 01 tne Union. There can be no doubt that those who issued the call for this assemblage ex- pected and intended that it should be a Mass Convention, which would adopt pies upon which the affairs of the Na- tional Government should be adminis tered and certain needed reforms inau gurated for the purification of the Civil. Service of the Government. Theadop tion of a platform of this kind as a guidance for the National. Republican Convention which meets in Philadel phia on the 5th of June next, was, no doubt, all the signers of the call ex pected and desired should be done. TJie call fer the Convention was origi nally issued in the interest of the Re publican party. If it turns out that the object sought by thoso who may attend the Convention, is the success of j the National Union Republican party, in that case, the assembling of delegates trom the several States, will be of ser- f. . a . ' , , . , , tion is to be made up and controlled bv the personal enemies of perauimi weuius 01 x'resiaent Grant, in that case, th acts of the Con vention will be in the interest of De mocracy, and must be so regarded by Republicans; The deathof Vailandigham, of Ohio, wTasalso the death of the "New De parture " as originated with that gen tleman. In the search for some hobby by which to attain power, the newest departure of the Democratic party, is the Passive Policy suggested by The Republiean, published at St. Louis, Missouri. It. is admitted by the lead ers of the Democracy, that the Demo cratic partysailing under its true col: ors, has- iiot the slightest" hope for suc cess. What then is to be done? The Republican suggests that the Democrat- ic nartv make nn! nnminntinnt fnr President or . Vice-President ; encour age Liberal Republicans who are. op posed to the renomination. and re-election of President Grant, to meet and nominate candidates for President and Vice-President; when- this shall have been done, it is. hoped enough Repub licans will support the nominees of, the Liberals, with ;the unanimous4, support of the passive Democratic party, to de- feat Grant and elect a majority of the members of the Congress. , av . i9 There is a disposition and purpose. to us the Liberalnyentionforthepur-, pose of defeatmg the Republican party. I t js -almost certain that candidates will ho' nominated ior President -and' yice- f The controlling spirits of the Convention will be made up of men whose Republicanism consists in a ra0rbid desire .to .defeat President 1 GranL superinduced by 5: refusal to &p point the individual or some friend to office. It matters not that men wnose heads have grown grey mtheadvocacy 01 ltepuDiican principles sayuiu aiieau this Convention. Its actslpe in the interest oftheDemocraticparty, though disguised under the cloafc of Liberal Republicanism.- The Republican par- ty is to be ovennrown to sausiy a handful. of Liberal Repulicans who are dissatisfied with President Grant. J There are few men in this State who can be deceived by-this Liberal ; move merit. We.warn our reader , that the success of the Cincinnati ticket is the death-knell of the Republican party and the speedy resurrection of the Ku Klux organization. President Grant is the hone of the South, His defeat I M. ', sounds the tocsin for renewed outrage and murder, and Mccanizes the South- ern btates. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. For the Carolina Era.
