testifying to the proficiency Of his pupils

thousands Of Others, appears TO be a matter
of triHing consideration with many Senators
and Representatives., who are resolved that
the experiment Of revue tariff, as II - now
called. shall be tried, even If it bankrupt
the public treasury and destroy tho FrosPer-
ity Of the country. They appear TO have IN
invelelate hostility TO American Interests,
and an ardent attachment TO those OF foreign
contries. They wish 10 reduce the wages oi
labor in this country TO the European s'and
prd, so that the workngman shall be able TO
earn barely enough to keep himself and
family from starvaton-and lhis object II IS
likely will be accomplished by the passage
of the bill under consideration.
On the same day that the above mention
ed memorials were presented by Alr. Cam
eroD. Mr. Webster also handed in memo
rial from the manufactures OF copper in Bos
ION and New York 10 which the memorial
ISIS complain Of the contemplated chsnge IN
the present law, and say-"that the effect
will be TO place the trade in shealing copper
entirely in the hands Of the English AMI
Welsh manufactures II is further stated,
that England now supplies us with one half
of the sheathng copper which we use, and
that she will have the whole supply under
the enactment of the bill before the Senate.
The bill may be emphalcalIy called Brit
ish bilr, for il is calculated, if not designed
to advance English interests at the sacrifice
OF those of the United States. We have no
doubt that the British government will be
willing to wink at onr seizure of California,
or the whole Mexican empire, if she can be
assured that the bill now before the Senate
will become the permanent policy OF the Ms
ted States. 1t would open to her wide
field FOR commercial operations, and her
manufactures would flourish without the fear
of successful compelition-Give her the
exclusive supply Of this country and of Mex
ice, and we may proceed with annexation as
soon as we please. But we consider it out
of the question that this British Tariff, if pass.
ed into law, will be permitted TO remain
long unrepealed. Those who feel will speak
and vote; and having this privilege, they will
not fail to place those in power who will
prefer the welfare OF their own country to
that Of foreign natIons.-BaEtimOre Clipper

What Mr. uannegan saws NOW.

We recently copied an extract from "a
speech of Mr. Hannegan, of lndianna, in the
Senate in reply to the extraordinary reVela'
ton b. Mr.. HAYWOOD, Of North Carolina,
about Mr.. polk's views, in which the Indiana
Senator consigned the President 10 a deep
so profound that the hand Of res direction
CO Id never reach him. The supposed
state Of things came to pass, and we were
curious enough TO inquire of The Union what
MIR. Hannegan said now. The official iourn !
al is silent; bot Mr. Hannegan has, it spoken.
The Columbus (Ohio) Journal says:
The Union will not give the Patriot the
desired information. But we can answer its
inquiry Or the very best and highest author
ity. In converse ion recently in a mixed
company, Mr.. HaBnegau, without any at
tempt al concealment or dguise. intending
ii for the public ear, remarked as follows:
Mr.. Polk is a greater traitor than erer
john Tyler Uds! HIS tfeQcAery to the
Democratic party Is tea thousand times
more base, Infamous and iReTcuSable, than
that Of John Tyler UIs to the Wigs He
is utterly unworthy of confidence! The
truth is not in him, and he can neUer, nercr
again secure the supper! of any considerd>
bic portion Of the Democratic partyu The
morning after Mr.. Haywood made bis speech
in the Senate and made the asseryation
which denied, the President SENT FOR NE.
II ,oas his CtOn Uolunfary dct.-The inter
view was unsolicited on my part He then
declared TO me, most solemnly. unequivo-
cally, that Mr.. Haywood had no authority
sUhoterer for the declarations he made
tdGt they lDere entirely grdtituos, unjust
aud Wns0und-thdt he WOULD SUFFER HIS
RIGHT ARM TO FALL PROM ITS SOCKET, HIS
HAND TO BE wITHERED, BEFORE He woULI
CONSENT TO A TREATY ON THE 10TH PARAL-
LEI, OR ON ANY LINE SHORT OF "a 40M!
I We may not have given. to the very letter
and point, what was said by Mr. Hannegan
but it is as near as the recollections of gen,
temen of doubted Veraciiy, who weie par.
ticular to note every word in their memories
can approach. The inquiry Of the Patro
is answered, and that il is answered correct
ly MIR. Hannegen himself will, we think, ad
init without hesitation.
This is bold language even from Mr.. Han,
, negan. partia! as he is. 10 that style which i:
, described in the language of the west as
going it strong" But though the ofIicia
journal was silent as to what he did sav, nov
that what is said TO be his speech is givel
to the public, it will surely itself called OF
to deny its authenticity or repel its allega

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

coTToN.-Referring 10 our last semi. weekly re-
view, in which we alluded to the advices per
steamer Cambria which we regarded as rather
favorable, we now notice the subsequent recent
of the accounts by tho Great Britain, bringing
Liverpool dates to the 7th nit. The market there
continued firm, and the demand vas fair and
steady embracing in The fonT days Subsequent to
the departure of the Cambria, some 1900 bales.
while at Havre there had been increased actigitv,
with the sales Of LOO at further Improvement
OF t. l.. The sales here have been confined to
small list on Thursday and four lists yesterday
amounting in the aggregate to 1000 bales, which,
withl the transactions previously noticed. and
some small lots which did not come to our knowi-
edge at the time. make the sales of, the week
sum up 500 bales. The stock on sale must now
be reduced to very low figure: holders are con-
sequently very firm, and will not part with the
small supplies they have left at anything lesE

"WAR DEPARTMENT,
juno 20. 1916.

SIR:-The President having determined
TO send regiment of Volunteers around
Cane Horn to the Pacific, to be employed
in prosecuting hostilties in Mexico Proba'
bly in Upper California. has authorized me
TO say that if YOU will organize one regiment
on the conditions hereafter specified, and ten
der its services TO the the United States, il
will be accepted. 1t is proper il should be
done with the aPProhot,on Of the Governor

The President expects. and indeed re-
qures that great care should he taken to
have it composed Of suitable persons-l
mean Of good habits-as far as practicable
OF various persuils, and such as would be
likely 10 desire to remain at the end Of the
war, either in Oregon or in any territory ia
that region Of the Globe, which NAV then
be part Of the territory of the United
States.
The act cf 18th May last, authorizes the
acceptance Of volunteers for twelve months
.or during the war with Mexico. The cons
diion Of acceptance in this case must be
tender OF service during the war, and il
must be explicitly understood that they viii
he discharged without a claim for returning
home wherever they may be serving at the
termiuat:,n of The war; provided il Is IN the
then territory Of the Unite States, or may
be then taken 10 the neareet or most con~
venient territory belonging TO the United
States and there discharged.
The men must be apprized expressly that
the term of service is for the war; that the,
mag be discharged as above specified; and
that they arc TO be employed on a distant
service. II is, however, very desirable thai
il should not be publicly known, or proclaim
ed, that they are 10 60 into any particular
province Of Mexico
On this point great caution is enloined.
The communication 10 the officers ard men
must go so far as to remove all Just ground
Of complaint that they have been deceived,
in the nature and place Of the service.
Il is expected the Regiment will be in
readiness 10 embark as early as the first OF
August next, if practicable.
Steps win be immediately taken to pros

GEN. ScoTT.-Some Of the Canada pa
pers are copying with much gustO, the at.
tack of some Of the locofocO papers upon
Gen. Scoot. The Detroit Advertiser SAYS:
"These Brilons bitterly remember Lun,
dy's Lane, Chippewa, and Fort Erie, and
they are delighted 10 find Americans abus>
ing and blackgualdlng the heroes who have
struck down the British fag."
This may be natural enough for some Of
the bsser sort of Britons and Jenegades in
Canada, though it riH be dispissd by the
more gallant spirits even here; but what
shall We say of men on American soil,
claiming TO be Americans, within sight Of
some OF the most renowned fields Of .Ameri.

II now uHPgoA9t aASAA @Ah 49, 8@@S - I
fore" US, that it is the settled determination
of the Administration 10 make the war with
Mexico war Of conquest. Il is proposed I
now to attack Vera Cruz, and take the Caste
of San Juan de Ulua. With this view, an
order was issued from the Navy DePaltIAent
for a council Of twenty Of the most expert.
enced officers to assemble in Washington on
the 2lst ult., TO devise measures, and to de.
termine upon the plan Of operatiOns--the
council is required, not to discuss the policy
Of the movement, but to furnish practical
suggestions for carrying it out. The inten>
ton Of the Administration with regard to
Mexico, is pretty clearly shown in letter
from Mr.. Marcy TO Col. J. D. Stevenson OF
New York, which will be found below.
Every indication upon the part of the
Government warrants the belief that this is
to be war Of conquest - wal hostile to the
spirit Of our insttutions--u war such as we
have deprecated in England and france,
and war which appears to be planned and
executed to make political capital for the
Administration. Ii not, why are cxpedi.
lilions being fitted out under partisan com.
lnandels, which will scarcely reach their
destination foI sir or eight months to com !?
desire or contemplate peace with Mexico
until its SeypicdbIe POLITICAL friends are pro.
vided for. Is the country ready to sQuun.
der sixty or one hundred millions year to
glOrify Mr.. POLK? Is the people willing
to incur an enormous public debt to carry
on political warl
The President, in his official communi-
cations TO Congress, declares the object of
the war--the design Of a vigorous prOsecu>
tion of ito be to conquer peace on hon
orable terms. Yet no step is taken in fur
theranco of the repeated declarations of the
President in favor Of peace. Even now
preparations for prosecuting the war on an
extensive scale are being made at an enO!m.
Gus expense, and the Government Organ,
and the leading partsans Of the Admins
tration, proclaim the object now to be one
of conquest. 1t is declared TO be the design
of the administration to conquer that par
of Mexico lying north Of line drawn from
Tampico west TO the Pacific. This lint
will be near the 22d parallel Of latitude
and W i'll take from Mexico, all Of Old Cali
fornia, Sonora, Durango, San Lois Po;osi
