solution repudiating the Street Contract, by con-
curing in the ordinance from the Board OF Alder

TIE PEyENuE-Of the two consistent argyll
mcnts against Protective Tariff, |. That 1t VIII
diminish the Revenue from Imports so as to rem
der necessary a resort to Direct Taxation, and =
That it will create 50 large a Revenue from I'm
ports as to tempt the Government INTO all manner
of extravaganza, the former has been the iavorltc
for the last year or two. We are happily able to
do something toward dissipating apprehensons on
both sides The Revenue accrulng at THIS port
during the month of July, (aiter deducting Tor
drawbacks Sc amounts to something over
Sl,l00,000. The revenue accrulng at this SIN
gle port in the sultry. stagnant month OF July
ought not certainly 10 be more than one-twentleth
of the amount collected in twelve months through
out the Union, which would make the Annual
Revenue 800 100000. Estimating 1t one-twcn-
tyfourth, which we think would be nearer the
mark, our Annual Revenue would be S26,40O,
000-enough to defray all the expenditures OF the
Government and pay off the existing Debt IN the
course of five years.

By the Norfolk Herald, we have further ad-
vices from this District. The full vote Of Cam
den is for Raynor (Whig,) Ala, Moore Loco
Ga. Cho,5aa and Gates are said to be nearly
balanced-probably a little against us-say 80.
This gives Rayner l,0o6 majority so far, against
1901 for Morchead last year. The remainder Of
the District gave Loco-Foco majority OF only
$50 last year. This looks though Raynor
must be reelected.

been counted when the paper went to press, but
Miller, CWhg0 was long way ahead. This OF
