THE DAILY UN1Ok
For the Union
THE FALsEHooD OF THE FAN.
MANS inhdmanity 10 man
Makes countless thousands j


The undeniable sentiment above quoted was forci-
bly, brought TO my mind yesterday afternoon, upon
seeing hundreds Of coored people from Baltimore,
Alexandra, Georgetown, and Washington shut OIL
from the great "whgwam," after the committee OF
Management had caused card TO be inserted in the
public newspapers, that the fair would be open to
them from to o'clock. ..
expected at least 10 see some apology In die In
telgencer Of this morning for this cruel breach Of
faith on the part Of the committee, but none ap.
peared.
This conduct, on the part Of the managers, Is in
keeping with all the res-it is one great JasehOOd
from beginning TO end. Il was got up TO create a
false Impression, and has been conducted In the
spirit in which Il was conceived.
The shallowness of the hing is too apparent TO
call for any exposition Of its fallaeies, and its effect
will be the reverse Of what its high tariff coneeiyers
intended it should be.
The eyes of honest men cannot be 80 dazzled by
the exhibition Of splendid articles OF manufacture,
although Of American workmanship, as to lead their
judgments astray; and when the attention Of the
farmer is called TO magnificent bedsteads, ward
robes, pier glasses and coaches costing each their
thousands, what will they sayl They will say,
who can afford TO luxuriale In the enjoyment OF
such exuavagant articles, t only for eLeryated roy
atty, or princely dissipation; none save the lords OF
the loom and spindle, who have feeeed our pockets
to enable themselves 10 sleep on beds Of down and
reyel in luxury, to enable them 10 pour out their
gold for such purposes the making Of all this
show, in the hope that an American Congress is
lOsak enough to be led away from the true interests
fthreefourths Of The people ofths country, leave
them in poverty and grind them down with indirect
taxation, while they lavish the other fourth the
means Of living ia the magDiheenoe Of iordly lux
uryF" This is what the farmer will say, think, il
he does not say il. And he will add; "But they
reckon without their host, for no such weakness
exists; the eyes Of many member must be opened
TO the srtyacaganes 81 The age by this very exhibition,
forward, and with warmth and energy demand pro-
setiOn TO the farmer and the laborer against these
lords Of the loom and spndle."

Col. Sewer has uttered two sentiments on the
floor Of the Senate, with which we most cordially
| concur. One is, that Congress ought not to ad.
iourn until the tariff has been reduced. The othe,
is, that if the war continues, we must raise NOR,
revenue by putting of the free trade articles in
| the dutable list.
These two subjects are only different branches Of
the same category. They are both connected with
the subject Of the tariff. We hear some fears OK.
pressed that the tariff will not be touched during the
present session. We cannot conceive what ade-
quate foundation there is for this apprehension. l,
is true, as has been said, that democratic caucus
was held on Friday night which determined not to
take up the tariff until next Monday week; and i,
may be equally true that the representatives from
New York and Pennsylvania might not have been
present at that meeting. We regret both these
events Weare decidedly of opinion that there has
been much too long procrastnatien upon this i'm.
portant subject; but it was earnestly hoped that
first the Territorial bills should be taken up for three
days, and then the navy appropriation BILL and,
thirdly, the bill for the graduation of tho public lands,
that this arrangement was adopted. But who can
seriously doubt that the tariff bill will then be taken
up, actively prosecuted, and finally decided and that
all the reforms-he tariff constitutional treasury,
graduation bill, &5c.-w be disposed Of by the Is,
Of September, which is now mentioned as the pos
sibo duration Of the session. The absence of the
delegations from New York and Pennsylvania ar.
cues nothing against the ultimate of the tar
IL bill. We understand from the best authority that
10 or Ia certainly, and probably 16 or l7-perhaps
more Of the New York democrats--wl go for the
reduction. There cannot be reasonable doubt OF
the matter.
Should any doubt be entertained of the suffcieucy
Of our resources to conduct the war, the dutiabe
goods may be enlarged from the free list It will be
recoected that the Secretary of the Treasury him
SELF in his annual report, reserves the great articles
Of tea and coffee alone for this emergency. We
have also seen letter to-day from one of the high
est sources in New York, proposing issue Of
treasury notes, il necessary and proper, and sug.
costing that loans to very great amount may be
obtained from the banks Of that city alone at mode
rate TERMS if Congress should deem il necessary Ia
make any loans at all in that form. There is no
question that we can obtain resources to any extent
we desire without interfering with the reduction Of
the tariff at ALL land indeed reduction Of the tariff
may be made to bring in more revenue than the law
Of 1872, and without interfering in the slightest de-
gree with the energy Of vigorous military ope-
rations.

The "New York Albion" has no idea that "the
United States will pursue a career Of conquest and
asgrandizement at the expense OF Mexico" Itgoes
on to say, that "Mexico must be prepared to yield
the certain claims we have on her-to pay the bal.
ance Of the indemnity money-to arrange the ques-
ton Of boundary and to receivea minister" Hav-
ing made these concessions, we surprised to see
the "Albion," that, with the capture of Matamo-
ras should it take place, the cabinet Of Washington
may for the present rest satisfied; and that the ad.
vanced state Of the season will prevent any further
military operations for some months, as sickness
and yellow fever have already appeared at Vera
Cruz. That this tune may be prohtsbly filed up by
great European powers, or will offer their mediation,
&c, &C.
We cannot consent to take the "Abion" into our
council Of war. There is no method OF bringing
Mexico TO her senses and TO concession of our just
rights but pushing the with all our ygor after the
capture Of Matamoras. That event will not suspend
our military experimentation will the season arrest
themi bat we shall go On conquerins aad to con-
quer, until Mexico is compelled to abandon her
rhodomantade, and her brayado We feel that we are
no longer TO be put of by empty words or ridicu-
lous pronunciamentos. Still less likely are we to
wait for the mediation Of any European power. We
act upon our own hook, until Mexico shall be
made to feel that our own swords or cannon must
wiring full justice, and permanent peace, from her
infatuated government She has too long abused
our forbearance; and the consequences Of her obst
macy and hostility be now upon her own head.

KENTUCKY VOLUNTEERS.

When n was proclaimed that the government had
called Kentucky for troops 10 prosecute the war
against Mexico, such was the zeal displayed, that
two captains who had succeeded ia raising their
companies, started to the capital TO report themselves
to III. governor as ready to marchI ono Of them on
arriving at Lexington, was appraised that he was
preceded by the other, who had only left few
minutes, and Immediately drove post.haste to be in
first the other learning the object, increased his
speed, and both continued the race until one Gnfor-
tunately broke his buggy, and len an apparently
easy contest to his rival but, nothing discouraged
he ungeared his horse and mounted without saddle
and by taking near cut beat his antagonist to the
executive chamber, but was informed that the num-
Der required had already been accepted in the
time the other came up when both, crest fallen and
disappointed, inquired il they would moi have pre-
ference in war with England such is the spirit that
pervades our country.

THE UNITED STATES AND G. BRITAIN
The following message was on Thursday trans
mitted by the President Of the United States to both
Houses Of Congress!
. '- 'WasHtNoroS, May %, 1s46.
To The Sendis Of the United States
I transmit a copy Of note under date the 26th
instant, from the onvdy extraordinary and minister
retary Of State, communicating despatch, under
date the 4th instant received by him from her Ma
jestys principal Secretary Of State for foreign af-
fairs.
From these it will be seen that the claims of the
two governments upon each other for return of du-
ties which had been levied in violation Of the COM
merca convention of 1915 have been finally and sat
isfactorily adjusted. In making this communica-
ton, deem it proper to express my satisfaction at
the prompt manner in which the British government
has acceded to the suggestion Of the Secretary of
State for speedy termination of this affair.
