 IL does moi, however, suggest any other means of raising a revenue which shall be more direct, and, we coness that have not get been able to see any mode oi supporting the government which Is so much the better than the one under which II has existed, as to warrant the risk and experiment of trial. The Cincinnati Enquirer thus happily disposes of one Of the stale arguments of the lnrh orators who maintained that the farmers could have some of the best cold cuts from the Tariff feast:
 "Heavy Calco.-A Whig candidate for Congress in Indiana, in support of the Tariff, argued to the farmers that one of the cotton mills of Massachusetts alone, in one year, used POO 900 barrels of flour for starch. On examination of the amount of it's manu- faclure, was ascerlained that each yard o calico would have to weigh egh pounds. BOW a,,, aare inc locos repeal such tarif--s'ihe farmers tarihP
 These and thousand other indications Of the times cannot be mistaken The tariff system only exists by vice in legislation in opposition to the natural sense of justice and of right. But it was brought into existance by combination of causes which has ceased. By unity of political influence and mon- opolies, by studied perversion oi the srn'h' by false promises to the farmers, and appeals to popu- lar prejudces, false legislation was created, which is no longer supported by those who combined to create it. It falls to pieces ofitsef; and on the con- trars, the Democratic party, now in the ascendancy, and ever ready to unite upon principles having dis. posed ofal miner differences, ready to rally around the standard of liberty, m act well us in thought and speech.
 Such is the dawn which we see beyond the little clouds of faction and place which have set by the ears, the small politicians and presses of the present day.

Robert Dale Owen,

We find the following notice of our talented fellow
citizen, Robert Dale Owen, in the New York Sun of
April 4th.
INDIANA.-We had known, in general way, that
the State of Indiana had managed her laws and her
public works In a manner that resulted very UNI
fortunately, but we were not aware, until we read
Mr.. Owens letter. to what extent the imprudent
duct of her Legislature and her public agents had in
volved her interests. The truth Is that eight nine
years ago, when the internal improvement system
originated individuals and public bodies had wild
on that subject. 1t is due to MIR. Owen however, to
say what he does not himself alude to, though
of our contemporaries have that during the three
sions through which he served as member of the
Legislature of his State, he strenuousy and uniform
y opposed the ll-digested and reckless system which
has overwhelmed Indiana In grievous burden OF
debt. He regarded by the friends of that SYSTEM
both in and out Of the House, the leader of the op
position, and such, stigmatized as a destructive
nuifer. He predicted and warned against the dis
asters that have since resulted from 1t, and was him.
self the author and introducer of the BILL which final
ly arrested its progress.
We think Mr.. Owens able defence of the conduct
of his State, under the losses and disasters, will be
considered satisfactory both at home and abroad If
the bill Of which he recently procured the passages
through Congress should by securing the completion
of the Ohio and Erie canal, become the means he
suggests of paying half the interest," on lndianas for
egn debt while the other half is provided for by In
creased taxation 1T strikes forcibly that Mr. Owen
will have done more towards redeeming the honor of
the State and replacing her with fame untarnished in
her past station among her unbemshed sisters of the
confederacy, than ever has citizen of Indiana,
we hope than any one hereafter is likely to have
cason to do for trust the bitter lesson win be in
all after years sufficient warning against similar i'm
prudence.

a. The Curtain Lectures " which we publish on
the first page, humorous they true to
nature But the meriment of the reader may be chas
tened little when he learns that the author of them
recently committed suicide in fit of arrangement SUI
perinduced by grief While the world becomes hila-
rious the humorous creations of the imagina-
ton, how seldom does it ever dream of the agonies
which often prey upon those from whose minds
sity alone elected them. The story of Blanchard is
told as follows:
"a twelvemonth ago his wife became partially in
sane, but recovered. About two months ago, while
sitting together she exclaimed that she felt as if she
were again going to be attacked and her reason
shortly afterwards gave way. The husband struggled
ON with sad heart, writing lirely essays (or that
his forte) for the different leading periodicals.
Then his wife died, and Frustrated Mr. Blanch-
ards nervous system by the event, that he became
subject to fits, and had to be watched. One evening"
just after concluding his devotons the nurse left him.
when he suddenly, in phrenzy fit, put period to his
existence In the presence of his children. Mr..
Blanchard greatly respected by the leading itera-
~ characters in London, most of whom followed him
to his grave. 1t is consoatory, too to add, that
committee of literary gentlemen, including Buwer
and Macready, have, to their honor guaranteed f30O
year, for three years, his four children. Doubt
less they viii be further cared for until able to take
care of themselves.

The Great Fire at PittsburaIr.

In orr columns of to-day WILDE found an account of
one of the most destructive fires on record. Many,
very many poor people rendered houseless, PEN
niless and MEANS except heavenly charity, to pro-
tect themselves or their starving children. Those
who had been enabled to give them employment and
the means to live, are in nearly the situation.
1t is which loudly demands the sympathies of
all. Let US now show charity-the charity often
preached but seldom practsed. No call be strong
er. We may ALL before we are aware, need the char
tiles of others. But while we are preserved by Di-
vine Providence, let us set good example. We can
give in proportion to Any thing must be
acceptable under the trying circumstances.
We propose public meeting
Saturday nert at O'Clock,
to take the matter into consideration and hope to see
oil of our citizens present.

falling off in the vote of both parties, though the
comparative majority for the Wings Is abct the

have done better as evident from the ietuns of some
of the towns, especially New Haven
The vote of New Haven was as follows
T6ucey. Baldtcin.
New Haven City, 1893 1926
This must be the smallest vote ever cast by the
democrats of New Haven. Last year the abolition
vote for Governor was 1990-apd there was conse-
quently no choice of Governor by the people Three
of the wing Congressman probably elected. We
have no returns from the fourth district.
