MEXICO, September 80, 1886.
The Republieano Of the LIST Of October says:
"The disagreeable intelligence which arrived Yes
terday from the northern frontier, and which we
copy, IN continuation, from the Diaro del GobieIno
Is perhaps the prelude of still more disastrous news
which viii put the patriotism of Mexcans TO the
test No effort can be too great, when the object is
TO defend our lives, our honor, and our independ-
enee. No one who feels all the force Of the word
country will fail 10 experience the utmost indigua-
on against this treacherous enemy, who has
dreamed Of lording IL over our territory barba-
rous undertaking which he cannot accomplish, az
we trust, while single son of Moreios lives.
ut is asserted that the terms Of eapitulation
agreed upon by General Ampudia, stipulated for
the withdrawal Of the Mexican troops with all their
supplies and equipment, for the purpose Of taking
post at Saltllo, and that the general reduced
this necessity after four days OF the seyerest firing
"We shall always lament that in this matter no
attention was paid 10 the advice Of General Santa
Anna, who besought the government TO send orders
TO our army 10 withdraw from Monterey, place
which could not be defended in any event account
OF It's being commanded by heights. We shall, on
his occasion, repeat what we have already said:
the war must be carried on against the Americans
as the Spanards in this century wsued against the
French, by the system Of guorillas, capable OF de-
sIoying the most numerous and best organized
army. The establishment Of the national guard
should be devoted TO the practice Of the system. 10

OF the North Americans is very much superior TO
ours and we must counteraet that powerful element
by calling into play all the resources Of which his
Tory, experience, reason has taught the eff
eaey. Shall these lessons be lost upon Mexicoi

No mention is made in those papers Of Santa
Anna, except that he had been i'll with a severe
constipation, from which he had recovered; and that
after he learned the capture Of Monterey, he wrote
several letters to his friends reminding them Of his
advice To the government to withdraw the troops
from Monterey.
IL is mentioned in one Of the papers, some IT.

ed the government to double the tax that article
which would yield it increase of revenue, in the
capital, ofs thousand dollars day.

THE DEATH OF A NAVAL OFFICER, AND
AN AMIABLE MAN

We have to announce, with profound regret, the
sudden death of Commodore John Nicholson, of the
U. s. navy, who died last night at Mrs. UIrich's, in
this city, under attack of the apoplexy. We
have known CON- Nicholson for more than forty
years. He was printer by profession, in Rich
mond, in l804-our near and respected neigh
bor-but his genius led him into different
destination, and his merits, gallantry, and skill,
raised him to high rank in the service,
and made him many friends and numerous
admirers. In several actions he was distinguished
for his extraordinary GOODNESS and bravery. We
deeply lament the loss of such man to his coun-
try, his family and his friends. ,.s.. ...a

Dnties ON Wool.

/ ~.
The doctrine which We. believe is main
tanned and adhered to by the democratic
party is equal justice to'Glt classes-wheth.
er manufacturing, mechanical, or agricul-
turaL And therefore, in accordance with
this settled principle, in adopting sys.
tenn ofdnties, either for protective or rev.
enne purposes, the members of the dem.
ocratic party in Congress and elsewhere
have cndeayoredto equalize among all
classes Of the country, the burdens of the
Government. It is obvious that the sag.
riclilturalclass ofthe United States, can
not be benefited by a protective tariff:
except in the article of wool, because no
production Of foreign agriculture, making
this one exception, can come into compe.
tition with.our own. So.
With aview of aseertaining whether
the tariff of '46 is of moro advantage than
shat Of AZ to the f,rmer, we will refer 10
afew calculations made in the Hartford
Times. An estimate is made that the
.yalae Of wool imported into the United
States, annually, underline operations
.of the late tariff, will amount to $l,667.
640.i This under the duties levied nv
that tariff, would give $124, $50 Should
that amount lie imported under the thirty
per cent. duty of the present tariff,,sit
would amount to $5O0.292-giyings a
hAlance in favor Of the wool grower. Of
over three hundred and seventy. five thou
sand dollars. This immense difference
in favor Of the new tariff will, undoubted..
" enhance the price of this article.
Thus by the efforts Of the democratic
party, the farmers are enabled to come in
for ':smaH share" Of the benefits to Be
derived from protection. s
PHNNsrLvAslA ELEcr1oS. re.
suit OF the election in this State has been
decidedly favorable to the wings. But
the loss 70 the democrats is not So great,
as the wings ihtheir rejoicing would make
us believe. The only democrat lMr.
aWilmo', from that State who supported
the principles of the party, OH the tariff
lssue;in Congress, has been reelected.
And Mr.. Brown, who openly commended
for the tariff which was adopted by the
last Congress- has been elected 10 Con.
sgFess fromasdistfict which is now repre-.
sented BY a whig.
The democrats owe their defeat IN

which prevented them from attending the

when no war had been declared, aud no
thing had occurred but a slight military
conflict between a portion Of Two armies.
Yet he was uskcd to afhrm, in the very
face Of the Constitution, that local rem
contre, not authorized 'y the act Of either
Government, constituted a state Of war BE-
tween the Government OF Mexico and the
Government nf the United States--ta sag
that, by a certain military movement ol
Gen. Taylor and Gen. Arista, every citizen
of the United States was made the enemy
Of every man in Mexico. 1t was mon
slrous. Il stripped Congress Of the power
Of making war; and, what was more and
worse, II gave that power 70 every officer,
nay, 10 every subalIern commanding a COR
poraFs guard. Did gentlemen call upon
him to do this? Did they expect he was
going to vete for position so monstrous!--
II they forced the question upon him, he
should take his own course. II they wan
ted unanmily, they could have il but i
they chose to proceed on their own petty
party views, be il so.
Mr.. Calhoun said he would now appeal
to the Senate and ask il there a. a man
there whe could believe, OH the ground oI
she only documents the Senate had helere
it, that there did at this time exist a war
in the proper and constitutional sense oi
that lerm! Before such a war existed, il
must BE- made by the proper authority
which, in this case, was the Mexican Con
gress on one side, and the American Con-
gress on the ether. Even Il the two Presi'
dents Of she two Republics should issue
solemn declarations of war, that would no
constitute a state Of war, because the Pres
idents had no such authority, and the ma
tOns, respectively, might disavow thett
acts. 1t would be a mssI extraordinary
step on our part TO make declaration o
war after the disavowal VIII ch the Senate
| had Just heard on the part OF the Prcsiden.
of the Mexican Republic. Mr., c. said he
had much rather that the Senator irem De-
aware had divided his motion, ard had a
first moved only to strike out. He put j
to the conscience and to the regard 10 trutt
in the breast Of every Senator, whether hi
could make the public declaration before
The world that a state Of war did now aC
tualy exist.
