of the character of that sheet, ifhe had new.

RACES and of our long. suffering and forbear-
ance, would come to the conclusion that the
government end people Of the United States
are the most inhuman and barbarous, and
the Mexican the most civilized, ,refned, for
bearing, 'innocent," and "unoffending''
government upon the face of the earth.
We have no doubt, however, that the editor

DISCOURAGING TO lORIES.- he 'oTy
wings have used every effort in their power,
to discourage the enlistment of soldiers for
the war, still is seems that volunteers are
pressing upon the Government in greater
numbers than can well be employed. This
must indeed be cold comfort for those tories
who have predicted that the place f<the
volunteers who are returning from the field
could not again be filled; and have hoped
to see the country left without men to fight
her battles and maintain her honor. The
Washington Union of the 18th, ult. says:
"We are satisfied that the administration
are deeply impressed. with the noble and pa
triotic offer which has been made of whole
brigade from Maryland. But it is scarcely
possible to accept it at this time, consistent
ly with the arrangements of the war Office.
We understand that Gen. Scott will in all
probability, have under his command, in
the month ofJune, al least i,Oenty thousand
men, or more-consisting, too, of regulars
or during the war men. Men press anx-
iously upon the war Office for employment.
A spirited citizen ofMaryland, whose name
we are not at liberty to specify, is willing
o appropriate $1,000 from his own purse
o equip company. Volunteer compa-
lies pour in from all quarters"

The amount allowed to the assessors during the
past year was Sl5 100; and by the close estimates
Of the comptroller, this new method of assessing
would cost the city within 81 $50 as much as the
old system; well, even this would be better saved
than lost-but, in the comptroller's estimate, no
allowance is made for contingent expenses OF
whole department OF the city government. No
Office rent, no fuel lights, no allowance for the
thousand sundries which it is out ofthe question to
think of avoiding. First estimates are always low
but this one seems to US to be cast very low. De-
partmcnts may be useful part Of political
machinery-they create patronage-but, they are
expensive. Setting up a Department is like
setting up an establishment - there may be
many reasons for doing both, but surely econo-
my can never be effectively urged as a good plea
for either.
The reforms proposed by the Comptroller ought
to be made; the tax eluding citizens ought to be
made to bear their proporti of the public bur
den; but, let us be sure that when we leap from
