THE SECOND REVOLUTION.

The peaceful revolution now in progress will
stand phenomenon in the page of universal
history The seven years war which gave us
independence proved our ability TO establish free
institutions-the revolution now going on will
attest our power to preserve them. When has
the world ever witnessed the assembling OF
peaceful armies of 30, 40 and 50 thousand, for
the purpose of putting down tyranny by the
moral force of opinions 1t is the triumph of in
tellect over passion,-of mental agency over
brute force.

THE CROGHAN CORRESPONDENCE.
We find the following in the Louisville Journal

II We were wrong in charging Gen. Jesup with
having handed over the Croghan correspondence to
the Globe for publication. The language that APP
piled to Gen. j., under the impression that he was
guilty of that act Of treachery Of
ted Gen. j., we have reason to believe condemns
the act as strongly any man in the nation
We know the name Of the individual who handed
Col Croghans letters to the editor of the Globe but
we do not at present feel at liberty to give to the
public He procured copy Of those letters by
tagcm not whit better than stealing but we are not

Wing majority in this State LAG on the Governors

THE BANKS OF BALTIMORE.

We learn that the banks Of Baltimore have circu-
laton Of 81 100000, and about 81 900 900 in specie
in their vaults. Philadelphia is indebted to Baltimore
about 100000, and Baltimore owes other eastern
cities about 100000. Money is considered easy
there, and the banks discount nearly all the good pa
per that is offered. It is believed that they will
sumo specie payments Immediately after the banks of
Philadelphia resume.

TAXES.

AS garbled extract from Mr.. Hamer's
communication relative to taxes, has been
published, we re.publish the first para
graph.
"MR. PALMER:- The federal party of
this county, and throughout the State,
have been doing all in their power 10
alarm the people in regard to the curren.
cy in which the taxes are TO be paid this
fall. 1t is asserted, that all sums under
five dollars must be paid in gold and sill
yer. Now there is no such law in Ohio (;
nor have any such instructions been Civ
en- by the Treasurer of State. The law
of last winter refers entirely TO the State
tax; and does not touch the county, town
ship, or school taxes. An these taxes
are payable at the same time and to the
same collector. How can he refuse
small bills for the amount due for coun-
ty, township and school purposes9 He
dare not do it. If mans taxes arc three
dollars-one for State, and two dollars
for other taXes-and three dollar bill
should be offered; how ridiculous would
it be, for the collector TO take the bill for
county, township aud school tax, and give
silver dollar in change and then let
the farmer hand him hack the silver dol.
lar for his State tax?"
The federal wing organ of this county
publishes the following as an extract from
the above.
"The Federal party of this county, and
Throughout the State, have been doing Ill in their

rency in which the taxes ara to be paid this fall
Now thoto is no such law in Ohio, nor have any
such Instructions bo give by the Treasurer of
Stalen
A sentence, necessary TO make sense
aud give Mr.. Hamer's meaning, is omit
ted lie is represented, by this 'extract,'
as denying the existence Of the law pass
ed last winter. After the first sentence,
Mr' Hamer says, " 1t is asserted, that all
sums under five dollars must be paid III
gold and silver. Now there is no such
law in OhiOi nor have any such inslruc-
tiOns been given by the Treasurer of

the Treasurer Of State are confined to
the money that has to go into the State
treasury; and have nothing to do with
county, township. or school taxes.

add, also, the time and money lost in col
lecting the fines, &c.-and we venture
to assert, that the loss to the nation is
not less than three millions Of dollars an
nually. Mr.. Poinselt's plan would cost
half a million. Here, then, is two mil
lions and a half saved TO the nation annu-
ally. What is gained in point of militia
ry knowledge, to the nation, by the pre-
sent system? Nothing at all. What
would be gained by classification and
Instruction such as has been recommend
by all our Republican Presidents, from
Washington TO Van Buren,? A we'll or
ganized force of two hundred thousand
freemen, ready, at moments warning, to
rally TO the standard of their country and
defend us against all foreign invaders, un-
til others could be brought out and in
structed in their duty and prepared to
take their places in the line, for the pur-
pose of relieving these Militia veterans.
Let us hear no more Federal slang
about standing Army. Go and read the
facts as given in the public documents; ;
and remember that in condemning Mr..
Van Buren you are Condemning the Faith

done at the expense of the nation; be.
