DEMOCRACY. The modern Democratic
party, who profess so much love for the "dear
people, and while protesting this love would
rob the "dear peoples" pockets, whenever
they could got their fingers into them, have
lately given another specimen of their regard
for the rights ofmnn, by opposing the abolition
of the property qualification for colored voters
in the State of N. York The Providence
Journal well says;
"The whole Democratic party of N York
oppose the abolition Cfthe property qualifications
for colored voters thus disavowing every prin-
ciple which lies at the foundation ofthe Dem
ocratic theory, and most especially, every
principle upon which they defend the Dorrite
rebellion. 1.-THE right ofsuffruge be a 'natu.

Gratis attempt to restrain it by color. Does n

cular, appealing TO the Christian public for

States, supposed for Philadelphia under
charge of Lieutenant Cogdell. A letter from
one of the Methodist Missionaries gives
horrible account ofthe sufferings of the slaves,
and says it is utterly impossible for language
to convey an appropriate idea ofthe horrors
of their situntion--the living and the dying
were hudded together with less care than is
bestowed upon the brute creation--the ther-

THE SLAYER PoNs. A libel was filed, on
Tuesday, in the u. s. District Court at Phil
adeiphia, claiming the forfeiture ofthe Pons
as a slave trader. The main question will he
whether she was, at the time other capture,
an American vessel. She was registered at
Philadelphia, in December, 1943, as owned
in that port, and a bill of lading found on
board, signed at Rio de Janeiro, by Capt.
Berry, in July, ls45, represents her as Amer
lean.
The trial of the libel is set down for the Sd
of April.

WELCOME SPRING.

Winter is just about to bid us Gdieu, and
bolmy Spring is getting ready to introduce her
sweet face in our midst. A faint smile plays
over the face of Nature as she beholds the APP
pronch Of this ever welcome vsiter, and all
are glad that she draws nigh. It is true that
slight signs are, as yet, observable of her APP
proach, but enough is seen to warrant her
coming. The cold white sheet that but n
short time since completely covered the green
verdure, is, in measure disappearing; and the
gloomy dullness that for time hung over us,
is dispelled by returning cheerfulness Yes,
welcome Spring, for she ever carries n smile
upon her countenance, which warns our hearts
and makes us glad.

SCOTT has she'd upon the American
name.
RESOLVED, That we recognize in this
conspiracy TO destroy GEN. SCOTT in
the estimation of the people, the working
of the same spirit which poured out cal
umnies upon Henry Clay, and propagaied
charges of imbecillty and cowardice a
gainst the lamented Harrison.
REEoLvED, That is is idle and vain for
those carpet knights whose highest ex
plot has been to do military duty once
year under the comfortable shade OF an
umbrella, to hope to sully the fame or
hide the glory of GEN. SCOTT, by
their envious attacks and malignant slam
ders. Let the vipers bite the fle-they
will but break their own teeth. Let the
dogs bay the moon-doubtIess it will still
shine on
RESOLVED, That it is not all surprising
that the vile panders TO party should have
as little relish for Gen. SCOTS soup"
as the British had for Gen. JackS0n's 5
| hot "cofee."
RESOLVED, That instead of covering
before the false and Anli-American char
ges which base jealousy of his glory
has prompted, it is the duty Of the friends
Of GEN. SCOTT TO guard his fame as
that of their country, to rally around him
and vindicate his claims to the highest
need OF his country's favor; and we rest
( firm III belief that the generous sympa-
thies, ever alive in the hearts of the peo-
pie, will be aroused and stimulated by the
injustice which has been done to the
Scared hero Of many battles; and those
who sought to sow the seeds of distrust
in his courage and patriotism, will reap a
plentiful harvest Of disappointment, en-
bittered by the scorns of an indignant
people.
RESOLVED, That it is with pleasure
that we find large majority of the Wing
press of the country, standing forward
fearlessly to vindicate the fame and con
duct of GEN. SCOTT, which bad men,
for selfish purposes, are endeavoring to
tarnish.

Funds for Carrying on the war
with Mexico.
MESSAGE OF THE
President of the United states.

In answer 10 resolution ofthe Senate of June
3. 1916. calling CONFORMATION relative the
mode of raising funds for carrying on the war
with Mexico.
To The Senate Of the United States:
In answer 10 the resolution of the Sen
ate of the Sd inst, [ communicate here
with estimates prepared by the War and
Navy Departments, of the probable ex-
pense of conducting the existing war with
Mexico, during the remainder of the pres
ent and the whole of the next fiscal year.
communicate, ,also,a report of.theSecreta-
ry of the Treasury, based upon these es-
Inmates, containing recommendations of
measures for raising the additional means
required. 1t is probable that the actual
expenses incurred during the period spe-
CITED may fail considerably below the es-
Inmates submitted, which are for a larger
number of troops than have yet been cal
led to the field. As precautionary mea-
sure, however, against any possible def
cheney the estimates have been made at
the largest amount which any state of .he
service may require.
twill be perceived from the report Of
the Secretary of the Treasury that con-
siderable portion Of the additional amount
required may be raised by modification
ofthe rates Of duties imposed by the ex-
listing tariff laws. The high duties at
present levied on many articles totally eX-
clude them from Importation, whilst the
quantity and amount Of others which are
imported, are greatly diminished. By re-
ducinu these duties TO revenue standard,
it is not doubted that large amount of
the articles on which they are imposed
would be imported, and a corresponding
amount of revenue be received at the trea-
surv from this source. By imposing
revenue duties on many article now per-
mitted TO be imported free Of duty, and
by regulating the rates within the revenue
standard upon others, a large and addl-
tional revenue will be collected. lnde-
pendentlv of the high considerations
which induced me in my annual message,
10 recommend modification and reduc-
ton of the rates Of duties imposed by
The act Of ls42 as being not only prop
er in reference to a state of peace, but
Just TO all the great interests Of the coun-
try. the necessity of such modification and
reduction as a war measure must now be
manifest. The country requires addition
al revenue for the prosecution of the war.
Il may be obtained, to a great extent, by
reducing the prohibitory and highly pro-
teciive duties imposed by the existing
laws to revenue rates, by imposing reve'
nne duties on the free list; and by modify
ing the rates OF duty on other articles.
The notifications recommended BY
the Secretary of ne Treasury in his an
nual report in December last, were adapt
ed to stale of peace. and the additional
duties now suggested by him, are with
view strictly 10 raise revenue as wal
