OUR STATION'S BIRTH-BAY.
To-day each of us can feel himself a freeman in the fullest sense—free to enjoy all the blessings of life, secure in person and property, free to speak and write as we chose, and, greatest boon of all, free to worship our Creator in any manner our conscicnce shall dictate. We should thank Heaven that we were born in this free land, and firmly resolve to do each our part in making more strong its government and extending its blessings, that those who come after us may continue to enjoy the freedom and happiness handed down to us by the wise deeds of the Fathers.
The day we anticipate has another claim than that of being the Nation's natal day. Vicksburg and Gettysburg arc too fresh in the minds of all, for us to forget what the defenders of the flag did on that day five brief years ago. The graves in our midst that we a few days since covered with garlands of roses, speak to us in a language more eloquent than can be fashioned by mortal lips, of our duty. In the language of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, spoken on the field of Gettysburg:
It is for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion for the causc for which they have given the last full measure of devotion—that wc here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vaiu—that the Nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that the Government of the people by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Whilst we celebrate the day by mer-ry-making, and a cessation from the cares of trade and labor, let us not forget those who bequeathed the day to us, nor those who gave their life's blood in order that wc should keep it.

CRAWFORD8VILLE, IND.: THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1868.
THE Republican Central Committee of Montgomery county will meet in their rooms in Crawford's Block in Crawfordsville, on Saturday July 11, 1868, for the transaction of important business. Let there be a full attendance.

To the sages who spoke bled, To the day and the deed, strike the harpstrings of glory.
We are on the eve of the ninetysecond anniversary of American Independence. Ninety-two years have passed since Jefferson the farmer, Sherman the shoemaker, and Franklin the printer, reported to the Continental Congress that immortal document, the charter of Freedom and Liberty in the new world—the Declaration of Independence, prefaced with the great truth that ALL men are created equal." It requires no play of the imagination to picture the scene in old Carpenters' Hall when the committee made their report. Those assembled-were men who knew the consequences of the step they were taking if they failed, yet they did not hesitate. But we do not think they ever dreamed of the majestic Republic that has sprung from the foundation they laid the corner-stone of, that day. They thought, perhaps, that they were commencing a government which would embrace the thirteen States, and possibly continue until something better could be devised. That the United States would ever be extended from ocean to ocean did not, we opine, occur to them. However, they laid the foundation broad enough to sustain the grand structure that has been reared upon it. Each generation has added to it—though the builders dropped from the walls the work went on, until to-day the States forming the American Union stand forth as the strongest government on the globe. By whatever standard that strength is measured, by that of morality, of intellect, or by that of physical prowess, the American Republic looms out a head and shoulders taller than the loftiest among the nations. And what people enjoy more of God-given liberty than do those whose homes are beneath the protecting folds of our Nation's flag what people more happy and intelligent, or, as a people, more prosperous Since the failure of the rebellion, we hear much about the "taxes" which were of necessity brought on us by those who endeavored to break up our free government and establish in its stead one based on a false and despotic theory but, heavy as we think our taxes, and large as our debt seems, they are not so oppressive as even those of England, next to our own, the freest government the sun shines upon. We are able to pay our taxes, and our debt can be wiped out, without any curtailment of, or infringement upon, our liberties. Our debt is owing to each other, and the wherewith is in our soil to pay it, if we will only be patient and "dig it out." We need only adopt the motto festina lentc—hasten slowlowly, in working out our financial salvation, and the burden will fall lightly on each.
•WAYWARD SISTERS' BACK.
The passage of the so-called "Omnibus bill" by Congress (over Andy's veto) practically restores six States— North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia —to full fellowship in the Union. The condition precedent to admitting Senators and Representatives from the first five of these States to seats in Congress, is the ratification of the XlVth amendment. Georgia, in addition to this stipulation, must, by formal act of her General Assembly, declare her acceptance of the Constitution framed by the reconstruction convention of that State, as altered by the powers at Washington. The Governor has required the Legislature to convene on the 4th inst., for the purpose of complying at once with these conditions.
The election for the acceptance or rejection of the new constitution is now taking place in Mississippi. The reconstruction convention of Texas is in session. The ratification election in Virginia is delayed by the lack of funds to pay the expenses of taking the vote. But with the complete restoration of seven States, now a certain event, the policy of Congress may be accepted as an accomplished fact. Soon it must cease to be a present issue, and what will the Democracy do then, when they can no longer howl "military bills"?
"THE TASXEBS."
This is anew organization formed for the purpose of furthering the success of General Grant. The regalia or uniform consists of a leather apron and other paraphenalia, commemorative of the business in which General Grant was engaged at the time the rebellion broke out. In joining the arm}' the General did not abandon his business, but kept on tanning the hides of rebels until the end of the war. The Tanners now propose to do for the Democracy what Grant did for the rebels.
THEAXDERSOX HERALD.
Wo have received the first number of this new Republican paper just started at Anderson, Madison county, by our old chum, Capt. John O. I-lar-desty. The Herald heretofore has been published at Ivokomo, where it did yeoman service iu the cause of Republicanism. Even when there was faltering in our ranks, the Ilerald was true to its colors. In the new field to which our friend has been called may he meet with unbounded success, in the way of redeeming old Madison from Egyptian darkness.
RAISE A POLE.
At an early day there should be a rousing Grant and Colfax meeting held in Crawfordsville, on which occasion a pole should be raised, bearing aloft the flag our two great leaders fought under. Keep it as far from the dust during the present campaign, as our brave boys kept it from 1861 to the close of the Democratic rebellion.

The Whiskey Tax.
In the House, on the 23d of Juue, Hon. G. S. Orth made the following remarks in favor of reducing the tax on whiskey
Mr. Chairman, in the very limited time alloted us by the order of the House it is impossible to do anything like justice to so vast and interesting a question as the one now under consideration.
Revenue and taxation in their various forms always affect to a greater or less extent the business interests and commercial relations of a people, and hence the legislator should exercise his power over the measures with great caution. A change of taxation, either in its amoiuit or mode of collection, will to some extent affect the value of property it may depress one species of property and appreciate another species and wc should prevent, if possible, too great a difference in these extremes of appreciation or depression. Our people, with singular unanimity, have long since agreed that alcohol, (or whisky,) for many reasons, should be made to bear a very large proportion of the public burdens. How best to accomplish this object has for years engaged the attention both of the public and of Congress. Could the present tax be collected Ivy the officers of the Government and placed in the national Treasury there would be no demand for its reduction.
But it is a melancholy fact that our laws are evaded and disregarded. Interested parties and corrupt ollicials are appropriating to themselves millions of dollars of the public revenue, thus defrauding the national Treasury and increasing the burdens of the honest tax payers of the country, and wc have now to meet the question whether we shall permit such a state of affairs to continue longer, to the disgrace of the country both at home and abroad.
It is most humiliating, but the fact stares us in the facc, and cannot l»c controverted, that this Government is not to-day able to enforce its laws for the honest collection of the revc nue on this particular species of property.
I have not the time to enter at length upon the causes which produce this sad result but most prominent is the belief that the executive branch of the Government is derelict in its duty, and offers no effective resistance to the rings of plunderers who now appear to control it.
To the legislative department of the Government there is but one remedy left, and that is to reduce this tax to such a point as will enable the honest manufacturer of Avhiskey to compctc with its illicit production. That point, in my judgment, is that which places the tax nearest the cost of the production of whiskey, which would be somewhere in the range between twenty-five and fifty cents per gallon. By this reduction you drive"the illicit distiller from his occupation, for crime is always more or less expensive, and in proportion as you increase the profits of crime to that extent you increase crime itself.
Nor will this reduction have the effect of reducing the general revenue, but rather to increase it, for wc see that with the present tax of two dollars per gallon Ave realize only about thirteen million dollars of revenue, while our experience has proved that with a much less tax wc have heretofore been enabled to collect a much greater revenue.
Believing, therefore, that public morals as well as the public revenue will both be subserved by a change of the tax on whisky, I shall vote to fix that tax at the lowest sum named, towit: twenty-five cents on the gallon,* and failing in that, shall vote for such other sum in reduction of the present tax as shall finally be able to command a majority of the votes of this House.
A Novel Marriagre Ceremony.
Brigadier-General Llewellyn F. Haskell, of New Jersey, was married it Orange, on Thursday, June 4. This young soldier, who fought in the first and last of the war, who entered the army as a private and came out as a Brigadier-General, and whose record of heroism is in the history of twenty-one pitched battles, surrendered at last to Miss Emma A. Gilmore. The marriage ceremony was unique aud beautiful. It was performed in Llewellyn Park, under an ancient pine tree, just after sunrise. As both groom and bride hold extremely liberal, as distinguished from orthodox, religious views, they requested the Rev. Henry Ward Becchcr, who officiated, so far to respect their conscientious independence of churchordinances as to omit from the service any form of words based on these. Accordingly, after the young couple had presented themselves on a moss carpet spot, and were circled at close distance b}r their friends, the groom clasped the bride's hand, saying: "I take you, Emma, for my wife the bride responded: "I take you, Llewellyn, for my husband and Mr. Beeclier added only the words: "In behalf of the sentiment of the community in which Ave dwell, and of the
