to one-half of one per cent, on the salaries
of officials is thus exacted. Sow, without
knowing anything of the alleged tax, and
with no belief in its existence, as a gener-al
thing, we have just this to say on the sub-ject.
If there is a person in the public ser-vice
who does not voluntarily contribute the
amount, at least, of two dollars and half a
year on each thousand dollars of his salary,
to support the cause of the Democracy, he
should be dismissed at once, and his place
filled by one who is patriotic and liberal
enough to double the contribution. We be-lievo
the cause to justify its support; and
those who refuse to aid in that patriotic work
should be the last to complain, if they are
deprived ol the special favors ot those in
power. We would recommend no system of
espionage, no mean ett'orts to hunt out the
miserable scavengers who devote four or five
hours of indolence at their desks, and the
balance of their time to assaults upon the

of such teaching was the relaxing of

parallel in this effort of the Democracy to
put the plough through all individual respon-sibility

system of political faith by which all men

In the times of the Stuarts, the roval prero-gative
was the great question so tenacious-ly
supported by the toryism of the day, and it
is not difficult to trace the same feeling down
to the present era, when the ipxc dixU of Mr.
Buchanan, on all question, is held to over-ride
all constitutional interpretations and all
legislative enactments. It is in this vandal
demolition of all republican landmarks and
the wanton disregard ol law, that we ar*

CAPTURE OF A. SLAVER BY THE UNI-TED

The United States brig Dolphin, latent.
John N. Matlltt commanding, arrived at Key
West on Sunday, the 22nd instant, from the
coast of Cuba. A letter to the Journal of
Commerce says:
" She sailed from Sagua La Grande on the
morning of the 21st. At daylight made a
sail ahead standing on the same courseas the
Dolphin. During the day had gained on her
sufficient to discover her to be a suspicions
vessel. After firing several blank cartridges,
all of which were unnoticed,sent a shot across
her bow, which produced the America* flag "t

course, when another shot from the Dolphin,
which took effect on her fore rigging, made

from the Government officials, to be used as a

"Many bold, bad deeds have been boldly
done, and many outrageous doctrines un-blnsliingly
avowed by and in the name of

it will be difficult to find so bold a stand

The following telegraphic despatch informs
us of the sale arrival of the slaver at Charles-ton
:
"CHARLESTON, August 27.—The brig Echo,
of Baltimore, has entered this harbor with
three hundred Africans on board. She was
captured live davs since off the north coast
of Cuba by the United States brig Dolphin, |
and was brought into port by Lieut. Brad-ford."
The Dolphin was to sail from Key West
for Boston on the 24th. The difference in
the name given to the captured vessel, arises
from the fact that her name was formerly
Putnam. Echo was on her stern, but had
been painted over.

The following article from the Louisville
Journal, in reference to the right of assess-ment
ol a tax upon Government employees,
as maintained by the Washington Union,
with the sanction and approval of the Presi-dent,
wc commend to the perusal of our rea-ders
:
"The Administration of Mr. Buchanan
seems to be adopting, as its model, the cele-bratedCabinctotCharlesIJ,
popularly known
as the Cabal, and distinguished for having
first invented that system of political bribe-ry
and partisan corruption which became
more obvious some years afterwards, when
Walpole held the official seals of England.—
Tho Washington Union, which keeps the
conscience of Mr. Buchanan, and fulminates
to the faithful ot his party the precise times
when his Majesty intends to sneeze, that all
may govern themselves aocordinly, has come
out openly for the violation of that law which
enacts thlit every officeholder shall Certify
under oath that no part of his salary has
been abstracted for political tithes. The
Administration organ regards the levy ol
a tax upon all persons employed by the
Government so judicious and proper that it
would make the refusal to pay the assessed
[From the Charleston Murcury."]
The Slaver—Her Crew and Cargo.
The real name of the captured brig is the
General Putnam. These letters are partially
erased and covered over by those of the as-sumed
name Echo, and would doubtless have
been restored, had success crowned the enter-prise
in which she was engaged when taken.
She is of Baltimore build, say 280 tons bur-den,
and, it is believed, was formerly a pack-et
in the coil'ee trade between that pt
Rio. On the 6th of March last, she cleared
from New Orleans with a captain, two mates,
eight seamen, a cook, steward and one pas-senger.
On the 5th of July she shipped a
cargo of 455 slaves on the west coast of Af-rica,
at Kabenda, situated in latitude 5 30
south, longitude 12 20 east. It Ifl in Lower
Guinea, in the southern part of the District
of l.oango, and not far from the river Congo
or Zaire. These slaves were purchased in a
circuit of ;"i00 miles, and assembled at a bar-racoon
near the point of shipment. The brig
set sail with them, and in forty-seven days
made the trip, reaching the point of destina-tion
on the morning of the L'lst instant.
One is a Greek, one an Italian; some of
them are Portugese, some Spaniards and
some English. Some of them talk about
New- York, but none now admit that they
are Americans, or have a whereabouts in
this country. These snugglcrs are a desper-ate
looking set of fellows. Under the laws
of 1819 and 1820 they will be tried for their
lives as pirates sailing on an American bot-tom
under the American flag. They were
committed to jail on Saturday afternoon.—
Their trials will take place at Columbia, S.
C, before His Honor Judge Wayne. Circuit

to sit the 4th Mondav in November. The

Being curious to see the cargo and arrange-ment
ol the Echo, we obtained a permit from
Dr. W. C. llavenel, the Port Physician, and
with one or two others accompanied Lieut.
Bradford i n a small boat from the wharf. Upon
clambering up the side of the brig a strange
and startling sight presented itself: a deck
covered with native Africans in a state of
complete nudity, with rare instances of a
uarrow strip of rag an inch wide around the
waist. These people were seated lor the
most part with their legs stretched out flat,
or drawn up in front, or doubled up; some
squatted on their feet and hands. A few
more standing about and a few lying down.
None were tied or fastened in any way. The
majority were very young, apparently from
eight to sixteen years of age, some younger
and some older ; scarcely one, however, over
twenty-five. Someof them were able-bodied,
good-sized and in good case; but the greater
pat half-grown children only, weak and worn.
Many were much emaciated, and showed
plainly the effects of tueir long and crowded
passage in a confied ship. A few were evi-dently
ill and soon to die. All were puro
black in color except the dropsical whose
skins were tawny from disease. Their hair
is very short and criup. Those who were
well appeared curious and pleased, some of
them ogling and giggUbg and chattering, and
others smokingtohaccooutof short clay pipes
with can stem's, just as our own negroes do.
Those that were thin and sick looked dull
and brutish, but there was nothing wild or
ferocious in their aspect. They looked ami-able
and docile, and readily obeyed the com-mands
of the person who had charge of them.
They are great thieves, however, anil appro-priate
whatever they can on every occasion.
There were 240 males and »50 females, who
were kept separate on deckund in the holds.
The men and boys were kept on the forward
deck and in the forward hold, which latter is

KENEOADE WHIGS.
The Petersburg InteUigenrer, referring to
the North Carolina election, truly and forci-bly
says:
It is beyond all manner of question a
most disgusting spectable to see such men
as Ransom and Miller, after making the hills
and valleysfarandneareeho andre-eeho with
their thuudering denticciations of Democra-cy,
coolly cast off their Whig armour, and
put on the brazen panoply of that very
Democracy ! A Christain swearning by the
Koran is scarcely a more scandalous speci-men
of rcnegadism, than an old Whig wal-lowing
in the mire of Democracy. We won-der
equally in both cases at the revolting
versatility of faith and infirmity of princi-ple
which are exhibited.
Democracy, alwas an insidous and danger-ous
enemy the people, has been growing
worse and worse in its nature and aims of
lxte years. Yet it is in this its most de-moralized
and demoralizing stage, that it
has enticed over to its motley ranks more ofits
opponents than ever before. Toombs, Step-hens,
Clingman, Faulkner, Wise, with a
hundred others that used to make the wel-kin
ring with their burning anathemas a-gainst
this most despotic and corrupt party,
as they oni-c painted it, are all now vocifera-ting
its praises and wearing its livery, just
as if it were the most exquisitely virtuous
political organization that ever showered
blessings on a people. It is the very same
party, in a far more deteriorated condition,
now, that it was in 1840, when all these men
were driving their daggers into its vitals—
Lynchburg Virginian.

some of the politicians of Maryland.—Eds.

STEPHENS OF GEORGIA.
Mr. A. II. Stephens, a renegade from the
Whig party a fuw years ago, and now an
honored leader of the Democracy, has been
on a recent missionary pilgrimage to the
Northwest—the objeot of his visit being to
bri.ig about a reconciliation between the Ad-ministration
and Douglas wings of his par-ty,
lie is reported to he the zealous friend
of Douglas, denouncing in unmeasured terms
the Administration for :ts course towards
the "Little Giant." But his zeal in behalf
of Douglas and against the Administration
is involving him in trouble at home. Sever-al
of the Geargia Democratic papers are tak-ing
him to task very savagely for h!s S3-1T1-
pathics and interferreace in behalf of Doug-las.
The Macon Slate Press, alluding to his
open declarations in favor of the re-election
of Douglas, says:
"If the report be true, we fully concur
with our cotemparary of the Columbus Times
that Mr. Stephens "is no better than Doug-las;"
and as we have already denounced the
traitor, we stand prepared to t onuemn all
Southern men who excuse and defend him."

SMALL BUSINESS.
We understand that Mr. A. A. Brown,
Clerk of the United States District Cout at
this place, has been removed from office, and
Mr. John L. CantwHl, appointed in his place.
Mr. Brown, was a most excellent officer, in
every way capable, and thoroughly acquain-ted
with the duties of his office; ho happens
to be a Whig however, though very quiet
and unobtrusive in the maintainance of his
opinions, and that is sufficient reason, for tho
Hon. J udgc Biggs, to remove him. We should
like to know though, what politics has to do
with the duties of a Clerk of a Court, if the
principle is to bo maintained, that none but
democrats are to be allowed to have anything
to do with the operations of our Courts of
Justice, why not enforce the rule at once,
and have none but democratic jurors also. It

HOW TO BREAK A 1IOBSK FROM SCARIIO.
It is an established rule in philosophy,
that there is not an effect without a_'»«'■-»
and if so. there must ho HOIIIO cause for tiio
scaring of a horse. The horse scares eitl. ;r
from imagination or from pair.. Now, it i»
a law off his nature, that if you will <> 1-
vince him that any object will not hurt hn 1,
there is no danger of his scaring at it, no
matter lu.w frightful it may bo in appe:•> -
ance. To exemplify this, take a horse tl at
is very ensilv scared :.t an umbrella: take
that horse into a tight stable where *oa «M
have attention, take him by the bridle, I
hold the umbrella in your band, W■
first looks at it ho will be afraid of it, ami if
he could he would soon be out of its rea h.
but hold it in your hand, let him look at it
and feel it with his nose a few minutes, and
then you can open und shut it us you plea e,
occasionally letting him feel it with USDO-O,
and soon lie will care nothing about it.
In the same manner you can break Ul >"
horse from scaring at things that ma) look
frightful to him, logs, stumps by tho road-side,
or anything that you may wish to car-ry
on him. If you wish to make a trial ol
this theory,JUM take a horse into the stalle,
and let him examine the frightful objei ' ■

things, and vou will be perfectly saiislisl.
We have tried horses that would not suitor
