The Spirit of the Times, the leading Loco Foco
paper Of Philadelphia, publishes the following re-
marks on the passage OF the new bill, enshrouded
in black mourning lines -
PASSAGE OF THE TAnrr Bill IN THE SENATE
TREASON TO PENNSYLVANIA The infamy has
been consummaled and by the vote Of George
Mllin Dallas, of Pennsylvania The old Key
stone has been blasted by the migrate hand of a
treacherous son. Like that Of him who fred the
Ephesan dome, the fame Of George Dallas shall
be immorta-immortal to execration, immortal TO
infamy. The Commonv cath that had given him
BIRTH life favor wealth, station and power, called
upon him TO stretch forth his arm and save her he
has answered the call as the assassin responds 10
the mercy cry Of the helpless. Alas poor PENN

Justice has been done to Pennsylvania.
There is still glimmering of hope, but it is a
glimmer only The bill goes back to the House

fear the partizan lash has had its effect there, too

I" There are no gods in heaven. ;
From the Ne,o York Herald, Julv 30.

We yesterday received some very interesting in.
telgence from Mexico and the Army of Occupa.
ton Our advices from Vera Cruz are 10 the l4tf
inst, and were brought TO Pensacola in the steam
frigate Princeton.
1t appears there no attack made on San Juan
dUlloa by our squadron on the 10th inst, as was
reported would be the case but instead thereof
there had been a skirmish or two between por.
ton Of the feet and several hundred Mexcans on
shore. Eleven Mexcans were killed, and one
American wounded in two days skirmishing. The
skirmish occurred while the Americans were pro-
curing water on shore, near Vera Cruz. Besides
this, the Americans had cut out one or two small
Mexican vessels.
The blockade Of the port continued as strict as
ever, no vessels Of any nation, but the English
Mail Steamer, being allowed to enter. Not sim
gle vessel was in port al the above date.
The bark Eugenia, Capt Biscoe, which ran the
blockade few weeks since, has been allowed to
leave the place by the Mexicans, and was not mo-
Tested by our men of war
The most important piece Of intelligence from
the army, is the proclamation Of Gen Taylor TO the
Mexcans, preparatory to throwing his troops for
ward to Camargo and Monterey. This PROCLAIM
ton is characteristic of odd Rough and Ready ,
and cannot fail to have powerful effect the
Mexican people 1t is brief, clearly written, full Of
meaning, and strikes the vulnerable points of the
Mexcans, in style that seems to belong exclusive
ly to General Taylor
The following is the concluding paragraph o.
this proclamation:
Mexicans, we must treat enemies and over
throw the tyrants, who, whilst they have wronged
and nsulted US, have deprived you Of your liberty
but the Mexican people who remain neutral during
the contest, shall be protected against the military
despos, by the republican army Of the Union.
The trial Of Capt. Thornton before Court Mar
al had been concluded, and it was rumored that
the verdict was in his favor. 1t had been sent tc
Washington, under seal, and it was therefore mo-
officially known.
Gen. Taylor remained at Matamoros. He ha!
fifteen thousand troops under hm-most of then
being at that point

THE TRiuMrH EvIL.--"To your Tents, o
Israel THE spirit ofey the exactions Of party, the
behess Of the Baltimore Convention, have finally tri-
umphed over the prayers and circumstances of be-
trayed and terrified people The fatal measure which
strikes at the root of all the industry Of the county,
and at the living Of every in who his bread
by the sweat Of his brow-this mishappen and mon
strous scheme which its friends would defend, and
which even some Of them admitted could not be de-
fended-this measure, pregnant OF evil has received
the sanction Of both Houses OF Congress, and in two
days more will become the law of the land What
shall we say Of act so ndefensibe and so perni-
cious! The country will be astounded at the news Of
its passage. Though remotely threatened with H. the
people were incredulous. They did not believe that
their Representatives-those most submissive to
party lrammels-would have the hardhood to sniite
the country md oil its interests and hopes, with so
heavy and cruel blow. They regarded the resolu-
ton Of the Baltimore Convention as n mere 5ruium
ulmen, and the "KGne Letter" q covenant Of safe

repented; and bitter the fruit now TO be reaped by
those who tgoHd put their trust in demagogues. But
they suffer alone; the whole country shares their
suffering, and can "mock at their calamity"
They have discovered their error too late though it
be to avert the evil, yet not too late TO repair It. Let
the whole county rise up 10 viDdcate its
rights and its interests. Let all uniie-ihosc who have
been deceived and those who have notin one deter
mined effort to overthrow this il-advised and desiruc
i've party act. Let the cry Of "REPEAL," from this
day go forth, and until Congress shall obey
the public voice Let every hill and valley, and ham.
let and village ring with it until the benefccnt prnci-
pies Of 1912 be restored and with them the terminated
industry and prosperity of the county. In the Ian.
guage Of an eminent Senator, say, let not the
Presidents signature to this bill be dry before the clar.

ure be exposed followed fastened upon, dragged into

next session (added the Senator,) let bill be intro
