home money market, and as giving evidence Of
a disposition, on the part of foreign capitalists,
to invest their funds in American securities.
II is not Improbable that another loan will BE-
required by the next Congress. TO relieve the
Government of its war debts. Mach depends.
however, upon the action Of Congress II Il
new Pension act is to become law, if a large
Standing Army will be kept up, as the Prcsi
dent will recommend, if the EXPENSES incident
10 the new teri ,0ry are to be provided for, and
the remaining ,nstalmcnts of the treaty paid,
then, new demands must be made upon the
Government treasury and new loan required.
The Tariff of 1876 sacrifices everything Of a
domestic nature to the policy of deriving the
lrscst amount of revenue from foreign imports,
the first effect of which is a sacrifice of labor
and means at home to foreign capital. The
great welfare of the country depends upon a
speedy ending of the present rule Mr.. Folks
policy has been one of foreign aggressive war
aud war upon the internal policy Of the conn.
try and it should be matter of public rejoicing
that its days are numbered.
What may be regarded as favorable, touchino
the loan just negotiated, is the fact that the Bar.
ings will receive at the earliest moment five
millions, and This will save the shipment of ius-
so much specie to Europe. l.. b.

In connection with the explicit declaration OF
Cass that Congress has no Constitutional au-
thority to exclude Slavery from the free terrific

Humanity that now anmates the whole civlliz-
ed world y Il his consequent implied PLEDGE
to Slavery gandists that he will Gin case of

that noble object in view, we desire to call the
attention of our readers to the sentiments of
Gen. TAYLOR, as embodied in his views on the
Veto power in the Alison letter. lie there says
" The personal opinions of the individual who
