Direct Taxation and n Reduction Of
the Tariff.


In an article in regard TO the best mode OF
rnising "ths ainews of'wnr,n the Nc,c YORK.
.uoning .hc~s, recommends direct taxation in
conjunction with a reduction of the duties i'm
posed by the Present TariT. In regard to tax
alton the writer says:
''Side by side with augmontatons of troops,
we ssouId have acquisitions of taxes. The
patriotism Of the people. and The temper which
has been aroused in them by these recent
events, will very well stand severer test than
this. The existing machinery Of state and
county collectors, can be easily brought into
play, to collect the amounts that may be called
for by the government, without creating any
new swarm Of federal officers. Half thus coll
loctcd and half by loan, with a temporary use
Of Treasury notes, during the process Of col.
lection, would constitute the best system Of
finance for the energetic and successful prose-
cutlon of the war. We hope the administra-
ton will not feel afraid to venture upon it, from
fear of the supposed unpopuarily Of direct
taxation. We think il may rely on a cordial
support from the whole country, in response to
a proper appea! to the patriotic libera,ity OF the
now aroused national heart.n
We agree with the .Mlcs N the closing scr-
tence of the quotation. The Government may
rely upon the people in the present emergency
But We much mistake the sentiment Of the
countr", il it will sanction direct tax when
the present Tariff, if let alone, is adequate to

The people will do everything necessary to de-
fend the rights and honor of the country, but
VIC think they will not submit to direct taxa.
ton and the destruction of the manu- curing
interests Of the country at the same time.
We regret TO see an obstinate determination
on the part Of the enemies of the TarT to
force its repeal Though Congress at all haz-
ards. They seem not to pay the least regard
to the consequences of the measure, but urge
it on with much more yea than knowledge
Rather than to fail in broahing down protcc-
ton, Trey are willing to increase the burdens
of the people by direct taxation foi national
purposes.
We most sincerely hope that tie enemies OF
the Tariff will be thWarcd in their efforts to
bring ruin upon al the interests Of the coun-
try. The Tariff Of 1912 is working most ad-
mirably. II will, We believe, raise all the re-
venue needed by the Government, unless the
expenses of the war should be very large
And in that case, the revenue derived from it |
would in few years pay or the debt Incurred.

Cen. scott, Granny Marcy ana Polk.

On the 9th inst. the President sent his mes
cage to the Senate, in obedience to their call.
Knowing himself to be in the wrong, he not
only obeys the call, but makes an attack on
Scott, who is subject to the rules and articles
of war, as wei! us to the bark and bite Of litle
puppies. That those who are willing to he
heye The uu,h may Judge fairly, We give his
me sage in full. Where did Polk find q prece-
dent for his message! Did an officer ever ST.
tempt to justify himself, when no churge had
been made against him, unless he knet0 that he
was guilty!
In the Senate on the 9th inst, the following
Message was received from the President:
To he Senate Of tie Uniled States:
communicate herewith a report from the
Secretary of War, transmitting the correspon-
dence called for by the resolution of the Sem
ute of the 9Th inst with General Edmund P.
Gaines and General Winfield Scott, Of the ar
my Of the United States.
The report of the Secretary of War, and the
accompanying correspondence with General
Gaines, contain all the information in ms pos
session in relation to calls for ''yOlunteers or
militia into the service of the United States
"by any officer of the army" without legal
''auihority Therefore and of the "measures
which have been adoptedn in relation to such

and of the volunteer forcef, which / informed
him, it was my intention forthwith to call out

the prosecution Of the war against Mexico
The tender Of the command to General Scott
was voluntary on my part, and was made with

from him. II was made in consideration Of bis
rank as commander-in-chief-of the army. Ny
communications with general Scott assi gning

the Secretary Of War, and afterwards in per-
