Try that the organs at Washington could either
explain satisfactorily or contradict fatty, the
statements going the rounds of the press We
thNe waited in vain for such explanation or
Icontradiction, and it is now too evident that the
government at Washington have acted with the
utmost disregard for the lives and Liberty Of
those noble men, who, from Misrepresentation
and the love Of, freedom, were induced togo 10
Cuba. While the President and his Cabinet
were travelling through the country receiving
cordial welcomes from the people, many of theiI
brothers and sons were being murdered in cold
blood, without the least interference or conso.

not make 1t convenient to attend that of hi
fifty murdered countrymen. He could mourn
for the supporter Of Spanish despotism, but hat

The assertion that he was afraid Of the Spanisl

that other Americans did use their influence

Immediately around us are entirely gratiiy-

the country, as we veiily believe demand
Democrats of Scioto, be at the polls, see thai
your friends are there also, and vote the
whole Democratic ticket. 1t is entirely
worthy the support of any community, ant

Total excess of imports over exports

under the tariff Of i846, 2,049, ,4g4
No capital can therefore be manufactured
against the present tariff, from specie expor-
tation. What then is the explanation Of
the phenomenon? Why, the one given in
the outset. We produce gold. Gold is not
a consumable commodity. Its rapid aug
mentation IN this country cheapens its rela-
tive value here. II naturally flows of,
therefore, to markets in which it is more
valuable, obeying the law Of trade as water
okeys the laws Of gravitation. 1t flows off
from the markets in which il is more redun-
dant, to markets in which it is less SO. To
confne our whole production Of gold.
amounting 10 $50, ,0O0. 900 perannum, to our
own country, would thoroughly disorder our
internal exchanges; diminish the value of
Jour properly while augmenting its prices; and
utterly confuse our foreign exchanges. Gold

OF The Wheeling Gazette Of Tuesday,
says that the drought in that region Of the
country has been and is beyond all precedent
at this season Of the year. They have had
no rain for about six weeks, and in all the
surrounding country the springs and streams
are dry. In limestone regions much sickness
prevails, and cattle have been driven, in some
instances, for miles, to obtain water. The

Excess of imports in twenty five

Excess of imports in twenty five
months exclusive of specie, $46, 846,6S2
The excess which the statement exhibits is
forty-five millions only, for more than two
years, or some seven per cent. upon the total
seven hundred millions of import and export
trade--an excess which represents the earn
ings of our shipping and the commissions Of
our merchants upon these operations, which
do not enter into the statement.
So much for exports and imports during
t,CO years last past. Those years exhibit
nothing luminous in the operations OF the

merce does not stop at this point OF the in
