Mr.. GOWNS ESTIMATES OF THE REVENUE AID
THEIR CoRRECTNEss-NEw PRoPoslrIov TO THE
GOVERNMENT Corwin the present Secretary
of the Treasury, in his report of December last
estimated, no doubt with the view of influencing
Congress to increase the tariff that the receipts into
the treasury would be comparatively small for the
present year, and that, by the irst Of July there
would be in the treasury balance Of only !: 49,
600 So and that by the first day Of July, 1852 there
would be deficiency of $3.50 800 -. Now, how is
Mr. Corwin sustained by the facts J Why, instead
of there being sny small sum in the treasury on
the first of July next, there will be surplus of pro-
baby seven millions, as the receipts to the present
time have exceeded his estimates six millions of
dollars, and the probability is, that the frst of
July, 1882, instead of there being deficiency, there
will be surplus Fifteen millions Of doHUs
This is a fair example of the manner in which The
affairs of the government managed at Washing
ton, and of the credit which treasury estimates are
entitled to. 1t shows great want of intelligence
on the subject, but any quantity of ignorance in
reference to the progress of the country. The flct
is, our practical business men in New York. know
more about this and kindred matters, than the
whole cabinet combined The progress which this
republic has made in prosperity during the last
twenty years, has been wonderfully great. Twenty
years ago the of the govern nent, from all
sources did rot amount to over tietire millions of
dollars, while the revenue for this year will exceed
Hy miltoas. Mr.. Corwin might have saved HIM
self the trouble OF Understanding the revenus,
with the view Of affecting the tariff question: for the
whole subject Of protective tariff has been dead and
buried for many years. The commercial and manu-
featuring progress Of the country requires no high
tariffs special legislation. They have proved
most conelusyely that they are capable of taking
Of themselves, without any government assist
ance
The truth is, We inclined TO believe that all
the ex Senator'S and ex-mem bers Of Congress who
became members Of cabinets, as shown by their
own friends, have been so much engaged counsel
and agents for claimants, for some years past and
have been so much occupied in dra wing money from
the treasury, by getting them liquidated that they
have forgotten the little they ever knew on other
subjects, and unfit for the responsible duties of
cabinet ministers. The truth is slowly coming out
The administration are weak; yet are willing to
aid them. We propose, for the remaining term of
Mr.. Fillmore's Presidency to undertake, by reason
able contract, the complete administration Of the
government, to be transacted in our office, AMI TO
direct all the affairs at Washington through the
telegraph. This can be easily done. What does

In the convention about to meet in Lancaster, In
opposition to that of General Scott General Scott,
We have already said, occupies the highest
ground as military man. His private character
is without stain. But he has not exhibited, ct
any time, the bold, courageous, or mighty talents
which both Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Webster have exhi-
bted, on civil affairs and matters Of State. Mr.
Webster is great aud cautious statesman. He
weighs well all he says and does and when an i'm
portant crisis in the affairs Of the country occurs, he
takes his stand. He has varied and changed his
and his opinions, to be sure, all statesmen
before him have done. lie was, during one period
of his career advocate of free trade and after
wards became a thorough tariff man. lie also
changed his opinions on the slavery question, and
supported, might and main, the compromise msa-
sures that passed by the last Congress. These
measures were urged on Congress by small por-
ton Of the press-the Herali being of he first
aId the plan of Cancellation which they embraced
was adopted by Mr.. Clay and several her distin-
guished patriots; but they were first taken up by
the sage Of Ashland, who had tho courage to bring
taem forward in Congress. 1t required great perse
yeralce to induce Mr. Webster to support them ;
but after he became convinced Of their justice and
expediency, he advocated them with a zeal that
knew no bounds-with degree Of courage and per-
severance that is without parallel in the history
OF American statesmen.
General Scott and Mr.. Webster are the two
leading men who viii be brought forward at the
whig State Convention in Lancaster in connection
with the Presidency. Which will be selected
This is question of great Importance, at the pre-
sent time, for the whole country, especially the
whig party and the oficeholders, are awaiting the
action of the Lancaster State Convention with grea
interest, in reference to their nominating candidate
for the Presidency.
