Ultra ssushern Views.

The leading papers and statesmen of the per-
petuaIists denounce the views Of Messrs- Dallas,
Cass, Dickinson, &c. wecopy from the Charles
ton Mercury, the organ Of that party, the fol-
lowing reply to them and their reasoning;
The approach Of this mighty struggle for
spoils-the Presidential election---and the
disastrous defeat which awaits the Demo
cratic party, in that great contest, unless the
North and South can be united, have brought
forth a letter from Mr.. BUCHANAN, speech
from MIR. DALLAS, resolutions in the Senate
from Mr.. DIcKHsoS, and, within the last
few days, letter from Gen. CAss. The
problem which perplexes is, to prohibit sla-
very in all the territory we may acquire from
Mexico, without arousing the apprehensions
OF the South; TO seem to abandon the Will
mot Proviso, and yet retain its principle;
and thus unite the North and South in the
support of a Northern candidate for the
Presidency. This. is the task 70 which pol
iticians and party leaders have addressed all
their ingenuity and all their tact. il is, in
deed, Herculean wo.k. Let US warn the
South, the weaker section, 10 beware. II
We do not greatly mistake, now, as ever, this
union is to be effected by the sacrifice Of the
South. The North will never surrender its
cherished policy Of prohibiting the diffusion
Of slavery over the Mexican territory, which
it is the undisguised purpose of our Govern
ment to AGO uiIe. The policy recommended
by MIR. Dickinson and Gen. CAss--and
we see no material difference between their
views an d those Of Mr.. BucHASAS and Mr..
DALLAs-to superficial observer, seems
Plausibls--seems Democratic; yet Of all the
schemes which have been devised for the
Acknowledgement and degradation Of the
South, it is by Ear the most adroit and ef,
fectual. The proposition ia, that to the in.
habltanbs Of the territory, not when they shall

of Lords for State. not religious ends, de.
they resist the State. they fall. They winiL
pendencs, but sacrifice their salaries. "The
law" says one authorized to speak, evil not a
low them to hold both"
What these salaries are, Mr. Horsman stated
in speech in parliament, from which we copy
the following:
On a former occasion the Archbishop oil
Canterbury said that he thought the Teve-
nues OF his see much too large. and they
ought TO be reduced to Els, 900 a year; and
the Bishop of London thought f10,OOo a
year enough for his see but they both per
sisted in retaining their present revenues du-
ring their lives-although they admitted that
they were too great. and ought to be cur
tailed.
When the ecclesiastical commissioners
proceeded to the discharge Of their duties
they were guided by return OF the ePlsco
pal incomes for three years, ending in 1881
and by the probable incomes in future years
made by the several bishops. Some o
these returns were so extraordinary, that i
looked like desire to keep the public IL
| the dark on the subject.
The Archbishop Of Canterbury returned
his income a: f2.!, 216 gross, and 9,lo'

1880, said that the average income OF tn
archiepiscopal see was $4,000. Ne1

was set down at .&10,600; but the rotor

The following letter was written by a gen
tleman In this State, and has been furnished
Us for publication. The opinions Of our dis
linguished men, upon the war and the means
Of ending it, should be known-Judge Nc
Lean occupies high official position, and
has been named and has many friends in the
several States for the Presidency-his opin-
ions and suggestions win be highly appreci-
aied, and tend to direct the public AT
tention 10 the ruineus consequences Of this
war.
~ go WAsHHsroS, Jan. Z, 1913.
My Dear Sir-To all human appear
ance the termination Of this miserable war
with Mexico, is more remote than when the
hrst blow was struck. In my judgment il
Was unnecessarily and unconstitUtionaly
commenced, BY marching our army INTO dis
Puted territory in the possession Of Mexico.
And, think, that Congress. VINO, unques-
tionably, have the power. should put an end
TO the war on Just and honorable principles.
Alter agreeing upon the tennis on which
a treaty should De made they should call
upon the Executive by resolution to offer a
peace to Mexico upon thai basis; and during
the negotiation hosiilities should De suspend
ed. If the President shall refuse to 90 this.
IN the military appropriation oils, the army
should be required TO take such positions
as shall carry out the views of Congress.
These bills the President could not veto.
and be would be bound by their require
nents. This may be done by the House.
| hope Congress will refuse to issue any
more treasury notes. The notes demanded,
n addition TO those already in circulation,
would flood the country with that descTip-
ION Of paper. Such an emission would con-
'titute government bank, controlled aud
managed by a party administration. We
rave now fifteen millions OF treasury notes
n circulation, and authority to issue Ave
millions more. l would not increase thi,
circulation dollar, but reduce it as rapidly
IS possible. Such system would be IN
more dangerous to the public
morals and the public liberty, than any other
system Of banking that could be devised.
To meet any deficiency Of the revenue to
pay the current expenses OF the war
would authorize loans al par, paying not
more than SIX per cent. interest, and If loans
,annot be made at this rate, let the admin
stTslion resort to system Of taxation, which
hall cause the people to feel the expense
IF the war. All wars should be accompa-
MED by system Of direct and internal taxa
ion. Nothing short Of this can show, in
addition TO the sacrifice OF life, what We
pay for military glory. This was the policy
n the better DAYS Of the republic
The late war with England was nobly
sustained by the people, not only in the field
out by the payment Of taxes. And they
will sustain every Just war. in which our
country shall be involved. But risk no
hing in saying that an attempt to adopt
'ueh system Of taxation would wind up
hrs Mexican war in sixty days And thi.
hows that the war should be put an end to.
This may be done by Congress in ninety
lays. and | pray God that they may do ii.
Very truly yours,

Plea for the HleI.s.

The Essex Herald publishes the fol-
lowing letter from the Rev. q. Wilkins TO
a farmer, who wrote to. him in,uiring how
the wirewom had been extermnated in the
reverend gentleman's land. 1t contains
much sound, though we daresay, unpalata-
bic doctrine to the owners Of smooth lawns
and trim-bedded gardens: ten years
since, when | came to my living. and COM
menced cultiva;ing the little lald | hold, it
was, may say, full Of wirewoans. Moth
ing could have been worse, FOR nv crops
were In somc places ruined by sieni entire
ly. What. then, did do! | adopted a
plan which recommended and published
in periodicals many years silce-namely,
encouraging moles and partidges on my
lands. Instead of permitting a mole TO be
caught. | bought all / could, and turned
them down alive; and soonjnly fields one
after another, were full Of m.le-hills, to the
amusement Of all my neighbGs, who at first
set me down for half a lulatic; but now
several adopt my plan, and are strenuous
advocates it. My fields became exactly
like a honeycomb; and thiscontinued even
among my standing and growing and ripen-
ing crops; not a mole was nolested, but |
still bought more. This sumner | had four
teen brought, which tuned down; but
they were not wanted have nothing for
them to eat-all that moles live upon is de-
stroyed-and so, poor things, they must
starve or emigrate to some Distant lands. and
thus get bowstringed by sange men, whom
they aim to serve. Adopt ny plan, and it
will be sure to answer. lfyou have nest
Of partridges, also encourage them; all the
summer they live on insect, on wirewonns,
&c. :, and consider how many millions a
covey will destroy in single summer
Again, always remember Mat noles feed
upon insects, and Of which, the wireworm
is the Chief if you doubt his, open mole
and peep into his stomach Again, do not
fear that moles injue you crops. either in
a field or in a garden; it i low and vul-
gar error to suppose that hey root up young
corn; they never go anywhere until the
wireworms have first destroyed the plants,
and then, innocent things, they are punish
ed for Others faults! Ifyou do not like to
see their hills, knock them about with a
hoe, as did; it is heabhful amusement,
and they will do your las good. Do not
despise my plan becausythe tanners will
not adopt il in your neigiborhood; farmers
adopt nothing till driven to it, and nothing
that is new and good.
