Abolition Politic*.

Tha|||$flnkee Abolitionists hav^ faculty of turning everything to some cuninrjq^dvantage. Money is the end»of i^ir politics, their morttli and their Religion. That is their idea of the chief end of man. Here is an instance^in point. A s1$Wd Yankee, in Boston, who writes to the Traveller, over the signature "Republican," has just thought of a way in which Boston can secure a ffcrtion|OF the Southern trade. He proposes to release Stephens from Fort Warren, as a sound stroke of policy. The wrfter a •'The extreme animosity manifested bs, the .people of the South towards Masaachusetts,. and vice versa, has turned^he channel of^trade to New York, atKkwenotice that the press of this city^Ji'iving her interest at hart, withitf the pa^C^ireek have been preaching charity, benevolence, and the cultivation of a fraternal feeling, which if re-established would unite the commercial interests of Boston with the South, and redound to the benefit of our large manufactories and, to effect this practically, we believe there is nothing that would better tend to heal the breach, than a reccommendation that Mr. Stephens be released on parole, under bonds, or in some way allowed to return to his home, and there await the trial df Jeff. Davis, sobject to the order of the Chief Executive. This would not only serve to conciliate the whole South, whose desires and hopes turn to their great conservative statesman, now in captivity, but it would spare.him the suffering which awaits him during the winter at Fort Warren, and thereby incur a d«Lt- of ».*Uuao to DWOIOII, wnich he could not fail to appre-

Negro Suffrage In Connecticut. In spite of the fact that the Republican Legislature, in order to get rid of as many as possible of the laboring men, fixed the hours of voting upon the amendment of the Constituteon to give elective franchise to negroes, from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M., the amendment has been disagreed to, by a large majority. Thus ends the first act of the negro suffrage farce and in the place that was supposed to be its stronghold, the enterprise has broken down.

The question in Connecticut was, in fact, no question, for there are next to no negroes in the. State. The people there could well afford, so far as practical effect was concerned, to confer ri^Kss npon a

thing was well suited to the genius of a people who do not the less love to be liberal because the liberality is expensive.— Great expectations were entertained of Connecticut, but they have not been realixed. The old "steady habits" prevailed, and as she voted upon the same question in 1847, so she voted again.

We suppose that this is a pretty sure indication that the negro* cholera has reached its upper limit ancl is subsiding. If the people of States where the colored population is so small can not afford to admit it into the ranks of the citizens, certainly tlfe people of States where it is large will think twice before they cuter upon the hazardous experiment. It is probable that philanthropy will howl piteausly over this killing frost upon its most cherished scheme hut there is one party that will care very little about it.-— The colored man will not mako himself unhappy at the check thus interposed to his elevation and will neither lose sleep nor appetite at finding himself precisely where he has always been content to re-

THE Providence (Rhode Island) Post says: "Many of the cotton mills in Woonsocket are stopped in consequence of a strike by the operatives for eleven hours labor, instead of the time now worked."

The time now worked is thirteen hours. Only think of the atrocity of that, and then remember the fact that there is no sympathy felt for these overtasked operatives by the cotton lords of the loom, who are overflowing in tenderness for the sooty negro of the South. The slave was seldom, if over, worked thirteen hours.

COUNTY, INDIANA, OCTOBER

Amount of Taxation.

The receipts of internal revenue since July 1 have been $84,661,430. The receipts last week were nearly eight millions.

It th»s appears that the people of the United States are bled to the tune of millions of dollars a day in one form of Federal taxation alone. There are other taxes still that are nearly as oppressive, iiuch as the Custom house dues, and State and local taxation. Is it any wonder that rents are high, provisions high, groceries and dry goods high, when some two millions of dollars a day taxes are wrested from the hard earnings of the laboring poor. All ^iese taxes are assessed to adef to the price of what we eat, wear and drink. This is the frightful price we pay for continuing the Republican party iu the ascendency. In Democratic days the taxes yere so slight that they were scarcely felt. Is it not about time the people shook off a portion of this taxation?

8ult Against (ieneral IIorcy-Heavy Damages Claimed,

Writs were served yesterday on Gen. Alvin P. Hovey, Militaj^r Commandant of this post, by Sheriff Robinson, from the Martin County Circuit Court, in which the damages are laid at $90,000* for the arrest and false imprisonment. C. J. Dobbins claims 840,000, W. H. Montgom ^ry claims $25,000, and Mr. D&hone

SENTENCED. We learn that John Britton, a young man well known in this eity, had his trial in the Clay Circuit Court at Bowling Green this week on the charge of killing a man named Tarvin, at Brazil about a year ago, in a political broil, and was found guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of eleven years.

The time is rapidly coming whon there will have to be some atonement made fo'r the terribJe outrages of the last four years, when many persons who now fancy themselves secure will have to answer in civil and criminal actions for tljgir criitfes against liberty and life. Justice is only sleeping—she is not dead. Let wrongdoers beware of her awaking.

THE LATE ALPINE ACCIDENT.—Referring to the recent accident on the Matterhorn, "the Flaneur" of the London Star, writes:—"The unfortunate gentleman who perished, fell 4,000 feet, just ten times the hig^i of St. Paul's. Had it been a sheer, decent, they would have fallen that distance in sixteen seconds.— If they reached the ground at thr. -poed usually attributed to falling bodies, they would have fallen at the rate of 340 miles an hour, or sixteen times the speed of our swiftest express trains, striking the earth with a momentum of 84,000 pounds, or 40 tuns. No wonder that the remains were in that awful condition described in the Abcillc de Chamounix

The Chivlngton Massacre. The Atchison Champion says that Ma-1 jor General Allen McD. McCook, with his personal Aid, Major Bates, and other members of his staff, reached Atchison from the West, on the 9th, and among other things, has investigated the "Chivington massacre." A recital of the atrocities said to have been committed, is almost too much for belief. The Champion says: 'v

Of Chivington's Sand Creek masacre, he gave us many interesting details, and he is of the opinion that it was a most cold blooded, revolting, diabolical atrocity ever conceivcdt,by man or devil. The sworn accounts or witnesses of the affair are enough to make any man blush for his species. It was an indiscriminate, wholesale murder of men, women and children, accompanied by the disfigurement of dead bodies of both sexes, in every revolting and sickening form and manner. Unborn babas were torn from the wOmbs of dying mothers and scalped children of the most tender ages were butchered soldiers adorned their hats with portions of the bodies of both males and females and the flag and uniform of the United States were disgraced by acts of fiendish bar* barity, so revolting in their details thatja truthfuUiccount cannot be published in a respectable journal, without giving offence to decency. And all these atrocities were committed on a band of Indians who had voluntarily entrusted themselves «.i.« piuuiution or the Government, re ceived assurances of care, and who had flying above their encampment, at thtime, a white flag and the national ban ner, given them by the military authorities at Fort Lyon, with the promise that this was to be to them security and guardianship as long as they remained under it, and continued friendly. it These Indians were under the leadership of "Black Kettle," a chief whose friendship for the whites had been proverbial for years. He had been in the employ of our government as a scout had been engaged by Lieut. Col. Tappan, of the 1st Colorado, to keep a watch upon the Sioux and other hostile tribes had only a few days before prevented, by giving timely information, an intended raid and he brought the men, women and children of his tribe together to live near the fort and under the care of the whites. His trust was repaid by indiscriminate massacre his friendship was rewarded by outrage on the living and disfigurement of the dead his eonfidcncc ^requited by betrayal, by rapine, by murder

sickerfingin its forms that it passes all understanding to imagine how any one, be he either man or devil, could have executed it.

This Chivington is a native of Massachusetts and boasts of his ancestors, the "Pilgrim Fathers." He is one of your stern old Puritans." He has not forgotten the cant and cruelty of the witchburners of Salem or .the teachings of latter-day New England radicals.

A Specimen of loyal Twaddle. The Legislature of Connecticut, at its last session, passed a resolution to submit to tllC people

tllC proposition to amood

the Constitution of the State, so as to allow r^groes so

vote.

WHOLE

The New York

Independent, in an appeal to Connecticut to vote for the amendment, says •«*. "The Legislature by an overwhelming majority has done its part for the amendment. Its opinion on the expediency and justice of it is affirmed in the most solemn manner. The people of the Stato, are now to say whether they mean to approve the act of their representatives, or to rebuke them for their devotion to impartial freedom. A so-called Democratic minority of the Legislature voted against the amendment—voted, that is, against allowing the people an opportunity opinions—a queer kind of Democracy."

That is to say the Republican majority of the legislature by voting to allow the people an opportunity to express their opinions on the proposed amendment, affirmed in the most solemn manner, the expediency and justice of negro suffrage while the Democratic minority by voting against the proposition, voted—against the expediency and justice of negro suffrage? Oh! no, but "against allowing the people an opportunity to express their opinions!" Such is a fair specimen of the twaddle of the loyal politico-religious press of tho country.

Connecticut Election—Xegro Suffrage Voted Down.

An election was held last Monday in the State of Connecticut upon the question of negro suffrage. The people of that Yan kee State, by a majority of thousands, have decided against the negroes voting After the decision of a New England State, we shall see whether the radicals will persist in attempting to put the odious measure upon the people of the South. The vote of Connecticut on negro suf-frage-foreshadows the defeat of the radicals in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.

NUMBER 1204

The Tax Question—Idle and ActiTc Capital. Gen. Morgan, in a recent speech in Ohio, tw forcibly demonstrates the injustice of exempting bonds ftottt taxation the same as other property or capital "The money invested in bonds is with' drawn from trade, it prevents the trader or the merchant from borrowing from the bank, because the banker prefers to buy bonds rather than loan money, and in short, the money invested in bonds does no one any good but the bondholder, and as a reward for his selfishness of his bonded capital, he is exempted from taxation. While on the other hand, every dollar, and the product of every dollar invested in active business is not only taxed to the extent of its own value, but it is also taxed to bear the burthen which of right should be borae by the bondholder. ... iiA ahori time oince, I conversed with a gentleman of the Republican party, who is a partner in a large foundry. Ho complained of the inequality of taxation, and of the injustice of compelling labor to pay the tax which was due from capital. That in the manufacture of a steam engine, for example, he was taxed three times on the same article—three dollars per ton on the iron, three dollars per ton on the castings, and three per cant, ad valorum on the sale of the engine. Audi, by this process, with three hundred thousand dollar^invested in the. manufacture of engines, &c., he was, in point of fact, taxed iimoB-op fhat amount, while :r the bondholder, who owned two hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds, escaped taxation altogether. "I cannot, said he, invest my capital bonds, because I require it in carrying on my business. But suppose I did invest 1 twenty thousand dollars inbondB, I would be exempted from being taxed once on that amount, but I would still bo taxed three times on the two hundred thousand dollars invested in trade. It is my interest that the two thousand million dollars of bonds should be taxed, and my bonds with them and by this equality of tax-*? ation I would only be taxed price, instead of three times on the two hundred thousand invested in trade.

Such was the reasoning of this Republican, and his conclusions were just, for his business suffered from diminished demand for his enegries, for the greater part of tho burthen of the tax finally falls on the purchaser and the operative. "In short, t^e Republican leaders have reversed in its' operation the true principle of taxation—the real basis being property, and not labor.,. The Republican leaders made a contract with themselves in faver of themselves. They mainly own the bonds, and they agree to exempt the property of each other from taxation, BO as to require other people to pay tho bondholder's taxes, and their own in tho bargain. This is not a contract, but a fraud, and hence as far as the exemption from taxation is concerned, it is

v°id."

The Result of the Election in Colorado. The hardy pioneers and settlers of the new territory of Colorado have adopted a State Constitution, but, at the same time, by a vote of 5 to 1, have rejected negro suffrage, which was submitted to them as a separate proposition. They are in fa- j, vor of the sentiment of President Johnthat this is a white man's Government, and they sustain the Democratic ideas, based upon the undeniable point. This is a great moral as well as a political benefit. While the radicals in the Republican party are endeavoring, in defiance of the Constitution, as well as every principle of equity and justice, to force negro suffrage upon the States in the South, where it is .obnoxious to the education and prejudices of the people, and where the negro population is larger, it is overwhelmingly condemned, upon principle, by the people of a young free State in the AVest, where, practically, the question is of minor importance. Will the radicals nave'the effiontry no-w to .urge upon Virginia and South Carolina a test that is rejected, five to one, by the pioneers of Colorado, a State of. their own creation, and peopled from their own neighborhood?

THE ATMOSPHERE.—The atmosphere maybe called a sea of air covering the earth to the depth of about forty-five miles. This depth is ascertained by the length of time the sun's light lingers upon the air after the sun himself has sunk below the horizon, and also by the pressure of the air at different hights as measured by the barrometer. The atmosphere is made up of the same ingredients that enter largely into the other substances, whether solid or liquid, of which the globe is composed. It consists of oxygen and nitrogen gasses, in pro-
