Y,ne Ri2ht Spirit.

The Wings every where will rejoice to see the
quiet and determined manner N which the Loco
Foco bill to repeal the already suspended Land
Distribution, so ndecently rushed through the
House, was, as soon reached In the Senate,
laid on the table by clean party vote
We trust all the violent party measures
of the House, and especially the down with
the Tariff bill, will be served the same way.
If the Wing minority IN the House are al
lowed fair chance to debate this or any other
measure, let the same courtesy be extended to
the minority in the Senate but whenever any
measure is forced through the House, in utter
disregard of the rights of the Wing Members, let
it be nailed to the table of the Senate the mo-
ment it reaches that body. We beg leave to as
sure our friends at Washington that the spirit Of
the Wing party, every day rising, already de-
mands the most determined and reSolute action
at headquarters. At such a crisis, hestation
timidity, divided ceunsels at Washington, will
exert a most mischevous influence over the
whole country But give union, energy, and
q straght-ahead course there, and they will 'Ss,-
sure enthusiasm, confidence, victory, every
where. We are impclled to these reflections by
the noble course of the Senate on Friday, but
they apply no less to the Future than the Past.
UJWe like exceedingly the look of the Political
contest IN PENNsYLvANIA.-The Loco Foco House
has passed resolutions In favor of Tariff for
Protection without regard to Revenue. The
journals of that party are engaged in personal
attacks on the Wing candidate for Governor,
calling him stupid ignorant, incapable. On the
other hand, the Wing papers let the Loco eandi-
dates alone, and aim their broadsldes at Loco
Foco principles and measures. This Is every
way wholesome Friends in Pennsylvania. if
YOU only realize how the election of MARKLE
would ring through the land, your exertlons will
be unparalleled

This sum will undoubtedly be swelled to at
least Five and Half Millions of Dollars for this
single port at the close of the quarter two weeks
hence and, as the collections at all the other
Dorts cannot fall far below the amount realized
here. the total Revenue of the United States from
Customs only cannot fall below Ten MILLIONS
for the current quarter, or at the rate OF FORTY
MILLIONS per annum. But we do not suppose the
receipts will be as heavy throughout as IN the first
quarter of the year They will probably (lf the
Tariff is let alone, range from THIRTYTwo to
THIRTY. FIVE MILLIONS, deraying all the current
Expenditures of the Government, and afordlng
TEN to FIFTEEN MILLIONS surplus TO be employ
ed in redeeming the remaining Treasury Notes
and about hall paying off the National Debt
=. All but says triumphant Free Trader,
you are calculating on heavy imports IN spite
We are anticipating that our imports for the year
will range from One Hundred to One Hundred
and Ten Millions--a far and sale amount, which
will be overbalanced by our exports, and allow
us to bring back considerable amount in specie
or (what we greatly prefer astill greater amount
in our dishonored and deprecated State Bonds.
We appeal, then, to conslderate and candid men
of all parties to stand forth in favor OF the pohcy
of letting ,reN alone. The present Tariff, 1t is
demonstrated does not cut off Foreign Trade but
steades and lnvigorates ii. 1t does not diminish
the Revenue but greatly increases it, so that our
entire National Indebtedness may be paid off in
three years at iarthest If 1t is simply lei alone
That it does not cripple Industry or diminish the
rewards Of Production let the universally of En-
ployment and the abundant strikes for higher
wages answer. Then why should the Tariff be
overthrown? Can any man imagine?

says:
'.rhe Governor has given orders for the arrest OF
a number of persons who have committed no crime.
He pretends to justify his despotic measures by
these acts of severity. The state of things in this
CITY reminds one Of the condition OF Venice some
ages since, when one could not utter word without
being watched any expression OF opinion in regard
to the acts of government IS certain TO be VISITED by
arrest and Imprisonment. Heaven help us, unless
the Queen of Spain will give n Governor who
knows something about the administration OF the
affairs of the Island
:. MANY sugar and coffee estates have been recently
DESTROYED by the incendiarism OF negroes. Every
