The Prospect before us.
On former occasion we estimated the
debt that would have been contracted in
the three years closing with the thirtieth
of June next at sixty millions of dollars,
but there is every reason now TO believe
that it will have been but little short of
seventy, if not even seventy-five mil
lions; making the whole sum TO be remit
ted for the payment of interest on the
debts contracted in the ttoo periods of "low
duties" not less than seventeen millions
of dollars, and that must be paid before
there can be a single dollar available for
the purchase of the "cheaper fabrics" of
Europe. How is il to be paidi We beg
our free trade friends to inform us. We
ask them now for that information which
ere long will be demanded in tones Of
thunder, by the nation that was cheated
into their support by the cry of "Polk,
Dallas, and the Tariff of 1872"
Is it by the export of breadstuffsi They
cannot go abroad until the price shall fall
to that point which shall bring them with
in ethe universal rule" of the late Sec
rotary; and cheap as we may be disposed
to sell, the people of Russia.will still sell
cheaper, even if we fall to fifty cents a
bushel for wheat, or twenty cents for corn.
Every day increases the facilities Of the
north and east Of Europe, and each day
diminishes ours, for ship-building dimin-
ishes as immigration falls of, and our ships
are seeking on the Pacific coast that en-
ployment which is denied them here.
Is it by the sale of cottonl They know
full well that the larger the quantity ex-
ported the smaller IS the return, and that
nothing has carried us through the present
season but the diminutive size OF the crop.
The large crop that "must" be taken
wiH be taken, but it will be at the buyers
own price, nearly all of which will be alb
sorbed in freight and charges, to the ruin
Of the planter.
Is it by the sale of cotton goods The
answer Is 10 Ut lOuHu III btiC idIt tudl
the foreign markets are now failing us,
and that our mills are being closed, be-
cause the market abroad and at home is
paralyzed by the working of the British
system, which interposes so many ships
and men between the producer of cotton
and the consumer of it that both obtain
but little cloth in return for labor,
Is it by the earnings Of our ships A
barrel of -four is carried across the Allan
tic for less than it costs to transport it
one or two hundred miles on canal, and
less than il costs to send single barrel
from one part of New York to another.
Already deprived of the export trade, the
great and profitable import trade of men
is rapidly passing away, and little is TO be
hoped except that the existing ships shall
pay their expenses until there shall be a
change Of policy in accordance with the
Recommendation Of the President and the
wishes Of the people as expressed in his
election.
The late Secretary informed us that

ly to prevail. Ii the plan oil the committee
prevail, il will do; and while there is a
chance for il we shall not abandon its sup
port because we deem of one which, were
it adopted in the patriotic and honest
spirit in which it was recommended, would
do better.
We shall not for the present again refer
to the causes which interfered with the
growing popularity of the Presidents
plan. We shall not again, until there
shall be a necessity for so doing, recur to
the speeches and declarations of GER
tain Senators and representatives, who,
protesting to be in favor of the re-
Communications of the California mes
sage, gave clear indications of deter
mination to renew the agitation upon the
remainder of the territory, after they
had got all they could under it. We take
things as they now present themselves;
and we repeat what we said in the begin
ming of this article, that the success of any
plan of adjustment depends upon the num-
Der of agitators per Sc in either House; or,
to express ourselves without offence-as
we mean none-the number of those,
either North or South, who will not agree
to what will be or should be satisfactory
to the section which they do not repre-
sent.
Surely, neither section of the Union
can be compromised by measure which
is distasteful to the ultrasm of BOTH No
Northern man need fear to face his con-
stituents for approving compromise
which is denounced by the ultra South as
concession Of all their rights; and no
Southern man needs any other justification
for his adherence to the Compromise bill
than the execration of Abolitionists and
professed agitators. The nature of the OPP
position to the report and bills of the Com
mittee Of Thirteen relieves their plan from
any suspicion Of unfairness towards any
section. The resistance of ultra-men of
all sections to a given measure makes
prima facie case for the moderate and
middle men of all. And upon examina-
ton it will be found that no section has
any just grounds of opposition to the
propositions of the committee whilst
agitators, disunionists, fanatics, factions,
ultra-men and ,disorganizers, of all creeds
and climates, may well be alarmed at the
contemplation Of the repose and happiness
which they would bring to the country.
We are satisfied with what the commit
tee have done, we who have given the
PRESIDENTS plan-taking its recommen-
dations as a specific mode of adj ustment-
at least as sincere support as it has re-
ceived from any quarter. Yet we shall
not quarrel with a sufficient system of
law for our recent acquisitions, for merely
making the principle of General TAYLoR's
message active in relation to all, instead
of passive in regard to part.

defeat. Though grateful for such unprecedented

than heartfelt qualification at the triumph of those
republican principles which he has advocated with
so much ability ardor and discretion He expresses
his views national State policy without reserve
and, in conversation with him, we learned enough
to enable to say, that should a majority of the
members of the Legislature agree with him in opin-
don, (Of which we have doubt,) measures will be
adopted calculated to promote the best interests of
the State; and to restore confidence among the peo-
pie in the purity and patriotism of those who
ccssarily chosen to make laws and execute them.

The RUSSIAN PRoPHEcE.--The newspapers, for
than year past have been circulating par
agraph, to the effect that, by the fundamental laws
of Russia, no Car reign for more than FIVE and
twenty years. Within the last month or two addi-
tional force has been given to this assertion, by
that Nicholas, who is now in the twenty-fifth
year of his reign is about to abdicae in favor of his
eldest There is however, no truth in either of
the statements. No fundamental law exists in Rus
STA limiting the reign of any sovereign. There is
however, an old prophecy, made by ancient
monk, that, if any Gar should reign longer than
twenty years. he would die by assassination, and
from this, perhaps the newspaper paragraph took
its rise. The prediction at the time it was made,
very sage one, for the anarchy of the kingdom
was such that few Cars reignned even ten years,
altered for the BETTER far the autocrat is con-
cerned. and do not fancy that Nicholas minds the
prophecy, he has little fear of assassination
