The papers.and leaders of the party seldom allude to these clauses of the Constitution except as the so-called or the pretended amendments to the Constitution. This manner of treating the amendments can have but one obs ject, and taken in connection with the revolutionary declarations of such men as Blair that object is easily understood. It means that the Democratic party having control of the National Government and the Courts will ignore the existeuce of these amendments, and place the country in the same position it occupied before the beginning of the Rebellion; it means that all for which the best blood of the nation was shed shall be lost; and that what the will be conceded--them by the Democracy. They “accept the situation” but deny the force and the legality of every means tending to preserve the fruits of the victory. They do not acknowledge. the North, and to all intents and purposes the leaders have put the Democva racy in such a position that in case of victory all that the rebels lost may be restored. While this course 1s being Union men. are told they must forget the past and that the Rebellion must not be alluded to. The Union party is not responsible fer the issue; it is forced upon the. party by the Democ~ racy and must be met. The amendments have become a part of the Con« stitution and as such are as sacred and as binding as any part of that instrument. They simplysecure by fundamental law the results attained by Union. victory, and the Republican. party having defeated the Rebellion and passed amendments must defend them as the only means of perpetuat~ ing liberty and unity. . The party, therefore, cannot abandon this issue until the Democracy cease to make assaults upon the Constitution and to threaten its overthrow ‘When power is secured to effect it. Tur Ala says: The total city tax for this year in San Francisco is $2 10} on. the $100, and the State tax is 86} cents, making a total of $297. This ia an increase of thirteen cents as compared with last year; and the increase is due to various extraordinary expen~ ses; including $50,000 for the Creighton & Donahue street contract and $31, 000 for Montgomery Street Straight, imposed on the City Treasury by the last Legislature, ‘here is, besides, a deficiency of $70,000 in the Alms House Fund, of $10,000 for’ the current wkpenses of the Fire Department, and of $24,000 in another fund. The only *tiiéthod of meeting these obligations is by levying additional taxes, Epwarp Kine thus narrates a little still rans the risk of being arrested as a Prussian, and given'a good beating. Yesterday, while quietly promenading in the Rue de Trevise, a semi-drunken soldier laid violent hands upon me, and’ was about to drag me away to the mairie of the ward, amid the unpleasant anger and brandishing canes and weapons of a large crowd,. when I succeeded in assuting him that I did «not belong to the hated race, and thus undoubtedly. preserved a whole skin.
