Would THEY THE federal papers who
have hosted the name of General Taylor as
their candidate for the Presidency, are endeav-
oring to create the impression that he will be
the candidate of neither of the old political
parties-that he will be the candidate of the
American people. This they do for the pur-
pose of quilting the simple and unrefecting.-
They think and hope that if they can only
get him into the race, they will be able to
mould him into just such politician as they
desire. But all they say about their desire to
cut loose from old party ties is stuff Sup
pose, for instance, Gen. Taylor was to come
out and say that he was democrat; that he
was the friend of the present administration,
does any one suppose that these wing papers
would support him No. Such backing
of aroter as would then take place, would be
curious. His name would soon be hauled
down, and he would be abused as feds only
know how to abuse.

U-We see that some of our Wing cotem
Poraries are boasting that they will have a
majority in the next Congress-or rather in the
next House of Representatives. Suppose you
do, gentlemen, what course are you going to
pursue Will you, as some of the Northern
Wings have threatened, recall our armies from
Mexico? What will you do in that behoof ?
Has not the present Administration done eve
thing in its power to put an end to this war ?
Has not MIR. Polk over and over again, in the
most distinct manner, intimated TO the Mexi-
can Government that the United States was
willing and ready, at any moment, to conclude
peace on honorable terms: and has not Mex
leo, up to this time, obstinately and contemp-
tuously rejected every overture made by this
Government What, then. we ASK, will the
next House of Representatives do, supposing
it to be whig? Order the withdrawal of our
troops to this side of the Rio Grande? Per-
haps it will go little further and tender to
Mexico apologies for the manner in which
we have treated her. Beg pardon or some
thing Of that kind.
Again: Wi. the federalists, if they do hap
pen to have majority in the next Congress,
alter the Tariff No; we venture to predict
that they have too much good sense to attempt
such a thing. What, then, we would like to
know, will these grumbling gentry do, should
it so happen that they will have the power in
their own hands next winter? We should like
for some of our federal contemporaries to give
US their views on this subject.

R. J. WALKER,
Secretary Of the Treasury.
THE FINANCES

1t appears by the statement of the Treasur-
err, which we publish this day, that the nett
balance IN cash in the Treasury is S4,835, 900
Upon inquiry, 1t appears that the amount of
the loan and treasury notes yet to be paid in
IS near 50 900, 00O-making, in all, of cash
that could be used before the meeting of Con-
gress, nearly ten millions of dollars But to
this should be added, probably, 81 900 900 of
accruing revenue up TO that date from customs,
lands, Mexican tariff &C., and ace haze the
sum Of S14, 100000 applicable to the erpendi-
lures for the month preceding the approaching
seSsioa Of Congress; thus proving that ue shall
not be out Of funds at that date.
We also call attention to the official state
ment, published above, of the receipts and ex-
penditures for the last quarter This is the
first quarter of the first fiscal year under the
tariff Of 1916. The receipts from all sources
during this quarter, it will be seen, are S17,-
l74,l3O, and the total expenditures for the
same quarter, $14,7O0,139 8S-thuS Snoring
an erceSS Of receipts Orer expenditures for that
quarter Of S2,473,991. II, however, we de-
duct the proceeds Gas we'll as pay ments) from
loans and treasury notes from each column
respectively, it will leave the receipts for the
quarter S1l ,918,430, and the expenditures
Slf,oIo,9oO; mus showing an excess OF eA-
penditures for the quarter over receipts OF
81, ISL $50. 1t is estimated however, tina
the receipts from the Mexican tariff. in addi-
ton, during the last quarter, exceeded $780,
600; which Excluding the avaiis of loans and
treasury notes. would make the excess of ex
penditures over revenue for the quarter about
81 ,657 900.
But as to the new tariff, the nett revenue
from customs under it actually paid into the
treasury for the first quarter of its first fisca
! year-namely, from Both June. 1847, TO 3Otf
September, l847-we see is SI1 ,O7O, OOO.-
Now, on reference TO the same nett revenue
from customs for the same quarter under the
tariff OF 1912 preceding-namely, from 30tt
June, 1916, to 3Oth September, 1846-we
find that revenue was only S6,125 900, or G,t
little more than one-hoB tie r;erenue from Gus

MEXICAN NEws.-We publish in another
part Of to-day's paper the intelligence which
We have received by the arriva! OF the James
l.. Dav at New Orleans. 1t Will be seen on
perusal that it does not bring us any further
1idings from the City OF Mexico. The news,
however, is interesting, though vague. Santa
Anna, it would appear, has at last lost the
confidence of his soldiery. If the account of
his men deserving him be true, and we have
every reason to believe that it is, we think his
reign OF power is over for the present We
doonot think, however, that he has any idea
of leaving the country. lie knows full we'll
FIAT he is possessed of that peculiar species OF
talent that fits him, beyond any other man in
Mexico, to avail himself, for his own personal
aggrandiZement, of the convulsions with which
his country is now afflicted, if we may use
the term. The correspondence between Col.
Childs and Santa Anna, will be read with a
good deal of interest Chlds is a gallant
fellow, and we'll merits the confidence bestow-
ed upon him by Gen'l Scott, in the important
trust to which he has been assigned. Posi-
bly, we may have something more from the
g theatre Of war" before we go to press, if SC
we will give it 10 the reader

Progress Of Reform in Turkey.-The Jour-

follows -
Under the administration of the most en-

realizing and consolidating all those new and
improved institutions which have only hither-
to had an existence on paper. Reschid Pasha
marches much less precipitately forward in
reform than he did on his return from his first
embassy to France, and as result the Capt.
tai is perfectly free from runors of conspira-
cies. Yet thousands & We HIM the name of
| Ghiaour Pasha
ITO carry out his schemes of reformed
administration, he is in the greatest want Of
suitable employment for every branch OF the
service. Their deficiency is in intelligence
and education To remedy this evil there is
a Council Of Public Instruction, who are devil
sing normal and elementary schools for the
whole people. In the meantime there is SUI
perior and secondary military school, supe-
rior and secondary naval school, and supe-
rior and secondary medical school. The sec
ondary schools are preparatory TO the superior
ones In them all, a course of education, lib
eral compared with anything previously exist
ing, is pursued. But to crown all, there is
now building, under the shadow of Saint So
phia, University, TO receive pupils of every
religion, and to be taught by professors OF
whatever nation. The secondary school for
this already exists on small scale.

TREMENDOUS STORM.
CINCINNATI. October "a p !


We have been visited by tremendous
storm. which has caused the destruction of an
immense amount of property. It has rained
almost continually for three days, OVERLOOKING
the country for miles around.
Along the Little Miami, which is higher
than 1t has been known for years, the damage
done is beyond parallel. In number OF IN
stances, barns have been swept away, and
thousands of bushels OF grain destroyed. The
fences for fifty miles along the river have
shared in the general destruction, and there is
no telling at the present time The extent of the
damage done. The bottom lands have been
overfowed, and the Little Miami, for miles,
now forms broad lake.
The Ohio river at this place is several feet
above high water mark, and is still rising at
the raie of one foot anda half per hour Sew
era gardens along the river in front of the
city are already covered with water
The small tributary streams are swollen to
overf1owing, and in their mad career spread
ing destruction around 1t is next 10 imposs;-
bic TO form any estimate of the damage done.
1t is unquestionably the most severe freshet
we have ever had here.

she stated that until recently she had been sick for
between three and four years, with what was sup
posed to be consumption-that she had violent
cough, night sweats, with alternate chills and f.

sumption. The result was that she became SC

at this time heard of the wonderful cures perform
