Having shown two such palpable errors in the
TIibune's article il is unnecessary for " TO follow
the editor through his additional column Of figures
and speculatons. We have shown that. according
to his own statements more than ssys~ millions Of
his alleged deficiency have been provided for by the
last Congress. OF course il il is again to be sppro-
priaied by the present Congress, a must haos been
sqsandsrsd other objects than those for which sOas
appropriated Therefore, we again ask. How has the
deficit been created What has been done with the
neyi And repeat thatth Secretary of the Treasury
and the cabinet must expect rigid and thorough scrut
ny into this matter before the present Congress viii give
another millions to expend for the purposes,
in addition to the millions provided for by the last
Congress. ,Ia
We are aware that the organ Of the cabinet makes
from day to day parade Of the items and figures in the
Secrearys estimates though they were to convince
the people that everything about the administration was
right and proper, and that il had been guilty Of no ex-
travagance corruption. II improper and proagate ex.
pendtures have been made-if illegal claims have been
allo yedif unauthorized expeditions and agencies have
been sent sat and established-we do not suppose
those matters would be directly avowed in the ssti-
mates Of the cabinet On the contrary, the most
natural way in the world would be to cover them
up under the form Of estimates for purposes entirely
different in their nature. For instance, if FIVE hun.
dred additional inspectors of customs have been en-
poyed contrary to law would it not be easy matter to
disguise the fact under general estimate for Deficiencies
in the appropriation for the collection Of customs Or il
the Secretary Of the Interior to grant an illegal
claim, which had been repudaed under former admins
ations. connected with the Indian department. could hs
not cover il under some Of the heads Of appropriation

rumor, published in the Union of Sunday the author

morning last We hope the organ may be found correct
in this instance. have much regard for the char
acter Of the government, to desire that should have
committed any such bunder as to place the message in
condition to be surepttiously obtained and pub.
shed.
But the organ does not say whether copy OF the
message actually obtained. and would have been
published if had not been for timely notice to the parties
interested here and its consequent suppression 1t does
say how much il cost to suppress the document moi
whether the price of its suppression was paid by
the cabinet or the propretors Of the organ ITSELF
from whose Office it is alleged to have been obtained
We understand there was, on Saturday, frequent in.
erchange of teegaphic communications between this
city and Philadelphia concerning this very matter
Perhaps the organ might If were disposed, inform
the public Of their import. One thing, however, all
will in; and that is, it is most fortunate fol-
the administration and its organ that the message has
not appeared II is DUE however the public that the
fact should be ascertaned whether copy Of the
message has been in Philadelphia. II one has been
there its publication was not necessary to show ina
proprety Of letting copy escape from the cabinet in ad
vance of its regular publication It would be bene
fetal the spectators in public stocks to have
possession of the document than to have put in genera

American Women.

The deaf and dumb Indifference of the
great mass of American women to the cry
ing wrongs of the slave, is one of the strang-
est problems of the times. We Canuot solve
il at all to our satisfaction. Women are eth
or wholly or measurably clear of some of the
most potent influences that keep men i'll the
wromg,-tliat is certain. The vile lust of
oflice-the use of, and traffic in, intoxicating
liquors-tlle thousand dishonest means en-
ployed in the acquisition of wealth-these
things, we say, are mostly confined to the
masculine gender; and of the stupid ignor-
ance, the foolish pride, and tile miserable
prejudice that deform and disgrace lmmani-
iy, Il full share falls to the male side. Add
to this, that women are always conceded to
have quicker and deeper sympathles than
men,-and we cannot explain the almost
universal indifference manifested by the for
mer, i'll regard to the millions of slaves III
our land. We believe the women alone, ii
they would but arouse and WELD it, possess
the power to kill War, Slavery and lntemper-
ance. Why will they not exercise it?
As TO The Peace Question-can amy one
with a single ray OF Christian light in his
bosom, doubt the atrociOus wickeduess o
War? or that every one should promptly ait
the noble efforts that are making for its tota
suppression? What sort of Christianity i
that, which will do nothing to rid the eartl
of the fiendish scoUrge of war?-nay, Wine
gravely votes for its infection, prays for 1t
success, and applauds and eNalts the great
est mnirderers of their race! Heaven spec
the day when this base impostllre shall b
no more known among men-.HerklmT IRE

blessings of Slavery, as exhibited in the hap

thc love and attachment they manifest for

of that achievement of peaceful legislation
higher than any glory of battle. Waterloo

The recent intelligence from California
clearly shows that the shareholders and their
agents are controlling affairs there. Dr.
Gwynn, formerly a member of Congress from
Mississippi, Thomas Butler King OF Georgia,
Gov. Boggs of Missouri, Bolts of Virginia,
and others from the slave States, seem TO
have the control of the Convention. While
the young enteiprising men OF New Eng
land are iiockiug there by thousands TO reap
a golden harvest, shareholders are focking
there to control the Legislation and fill the
offices of that young territory that will soon
be asking admission into the sisterhood oi
States. The slavellolding aristoeracy govern
the country. When will the people see i
and overthrow the oligarcly 7-BOston Re

STRENGTH OF EMANcIPATION.-From the
careful examination of the returns of our
late election in Kentucky, as published in
the last number of the Communicable, we
learn that in twenty-four counties and the city
of Louisville, Emancipation candidates for
Convention were run, and these received
lO,l02 votes. Excluding Louisville, the vote
averaged 3i7 to the county, and we behye
that upon a fair test the streugtho OF this ques-
| ton would be found TO exceed this but upon
this data there would be shown over 3o,UOo
Emancipation votes now in Kentucky.
In view of such evidences OF the strength
of Emancipation sentiment in the state, we
think the Convention will hardly ven ure 10
extend the tenure of slavery.-Lomsr ie Ell

Rev. Jarvis c. Bacon, indicted in Grayson
co., Va, for the crime of lending Frederick
Douglass Narrative and an Anti-Slavery
Sermon, has been tried and acquitted. He
acknowledged the circulation of the books,
but denied that they were i%ncendiary. The
Judge was greatly surprised at the verdict,
and after his full acquittal, required him TO
give $1,000 bonds for his good behavior for
twelve months. He was also bound over oil
two indictments in 5000 each, for violating
this law of the Christian and republican
State of Virginia, viz: "Any free person,
who, by speaking or writing, shall maintain
that owners have no right of property in their
| slaves, shall he deemed guilty OF misdemea-
nor, and shall be punished by confinement in
Jail not more than one year, and be fined not
exceeding five hundred dollars ~
