MEM OF ALL PARTIES,

Are you going to vote for measures and laws
which you know to be against your interest
and unequal in their operations9 Are you
going to vote for men who are favorable to a
TAX LAW that although your crops fail)
makes you pay DOUBLE what you did last
year; while Bankers worth fifty thousand
dollars, unless they make great profits, go
entirely free! These are questions which
your votes must decide. If you are willing
that such inequality shall curse our State and
burthen industry, vote the Wing ticket But
If you are not favorable to such unequal and
unrightcous favoriteism, you will vote the
Democratic ticket. Why should Bankers be
protected and honest industry made bear the
whole weight of government! Are riches
more honorable than industry! If not why
support men who give riches the preferences
Let strong voice 60 forth rebuking the cor
ruptlng influence wealth has so long exer-
cised over honest labor Men of might, let
your voices be heard and your strength felt

To The Editor Of the Statesman:
News from Mexico to the 9th ias been
received.
On the 7,h the Mexican Commissioner G.
declared the peace propositions submitted
by Mr. Trst inadmissable, and hostiliie'
recommended on the 9th.
A severe correspondence was carried
on between Gen. Scott and Santa Anna,
in which charges were freely made on
both sijes.
Gen. Scott accused Santa Anna ofvio-
lating the armislice by not allowing the
Americans to obtain supplies. Santa An
ma accusing Scott ofslealing and Destroy
ing articles esteemed sacred by the Mag
unanimous Mexican nation.
Riley, and seventy other deserters from
the American army, who were taken
prisoners in the late battle, have been
tried and condemned, aud Gen. Scott
having approved the sentence, they were
hung on the 9Th 10 presence Of both ar
mics.
Betweenthe 9Th and 10Th several bloody
battles we're fought, in one of which 300
Americans, with Gen. Worth, were re
ported to have been blown up by bomb
shells from Cbapultapic, falling among
lhe ammunition. Gen. Smith is also re
ported to have been killed.
The Mexicans report the American loss
at l700--or from one-fourtb TO ome- third
Of the whole army.
The Citadel of Chapultspic and the
.Halls Of the Mon,ezumas, are.now in our
possession.
The news seems to be well authenticat

says, that the battle was the hardest and
most desperate yet fought. Santa Anna

To gain victory is necessary to be vigi-
liant, active and united, and with such or

NEW VIGOR NEW ENERGYl! NEW
ACTION

DEMOCRATS, but very short time
only few days remain till the important con
flict between your own party and principles
and those OF the opposition, will be upon you.
Let that vigor, energy and action necessary
to glorious victory be had. REMEM-
BER, ON TUESDAY THE 18TH DAY
OF OCTOBER the contest will be fought,
and RALLY to the POLLS EARLY! Let
your long cherished principles receive warm
and strong support, and any ilfeeings or per-
sonal preference be cast into by gone times.
Will you permit any selfish motives to govern
your actions upon this vital, this important
occasion, when you look about you and see
the deception at work in the Whig ranks!
When you see the same false charges made
against your candidates that were two years
ago! We canuot believe that any true Dem
ocrat will sacrifice that most sacared of all
things, PRINCIPLE! No! Democrats, let no
such charge ever be brought against you.-
If ever any principles merlted the full, the
whole support of the party they are the prin
ciples of the Democracracy; and now is the
time for our men to rally forth and battle for
these equal and pure principles. Deception
and lies may everywhere circulate, but truth
must prevail,' and the measures which can
succeed un der false colors alone, must sink.
Again, let us warn you to gaurd against all
corruption, lying and personal quarrels, for
the Democracy are not responsible for the
acts of individuals. Remember those, who,
through personal chickering's would divide you
and in SO doing, sacrifice the fre e and pure
principles Of tho bright stars in whose foot
steps we walk. In short, let NOTHING !
DIVIDE you.
REMEMBER, the promises, frauds and
las of FORTY, aud thsnforget not 4he mnn
uer in " hch those promises were fulfilled
Many of these very same old coons,' who
made SO many false promises then are now
in the field circulating reports about the pub
lie money, which they knov to be basely
false; but think they can deceive the people,
and thereby get INTO office. Are the people
of Wyando county to be gulled and driven
i.-to the support OF men who can get Office
oGly by deception! Are you, Farmers, going
to support men ho tell you your TAXES
will oe lower than last year and when you 60
to the Treasurer Office to pay you find that
they are DOUBLE Think of these things,
aud go to the polls determined to put them
down. Let your votes tell that you are ia
vorable to a change IN the TAX LAW-that
you are opposed to bankers having privileges
which you do not enjoy tpaying taxes only on
their profts,) and that you are opposed to all

nearly all of which was in foreign coin-a
large portion of which, as far as practicable
was transferred and reeoined into our own
coin at the mint at Philadelphia. The whole
of that foreign coin, however, ought to have
been at once recoined at the city where it was
received, and, in addition, the large amount of
coin and bullion which is constantly arriving
there, and does not find its way into the Office
of the assistant treasurer; but, as foreign coin
is deposited with the banks, and never be-
comes circulation to any great extent among
the community, all which would also be at
once converted into American coin, without
loss or delay, if branch of the mint were To-
Gated at the great emporium of the commerce
of the Union.
Under the salutary provisions of the constl-
tutional treasury law, the experience of this
year has proved that a sum not exceeding 49,
600, 900 is all that need be retained in the
treasury as surplus to meet the wants of the
government, or to supply the mint and branch
minis with an abundant and sufficient sum for
coinage-thus saving, in this way, the inter-
est on 81 200 to our country. The treas
urer of the mint in Philadelphia, and of the
branch mint at New Orleans, are also assis-
tant treasurers, to and from whom transfers OF
specie (nearly all of which is received in for
eign con) can be made under the provisions
of the constitutional treasury. Under the act
of the 9th February, 1898, providing for the
re-coinage of foreign coin at the mint, instruc.
tons were issued by me to carry that act fully
into effect. Under these orders, transfers are
made of the foreign coin to the mint and branch
mints for re-coinage, and the amount coined
since the 1st of January last up 10 the 1st De
cember, was S2O,758,O48 10, of which the
sum of s3,O85,953 80 was coined in the month
of November, 1s47; and if this should be con
tinued for the present month, it would make
the coinage of the first year of the constitu
tional treasury, S23,844,0Ol 90.
