royalty of England. Lips and tongues, that before
ordinary mortals would freely in the labors of

many manifestations OF that kind yesterday, and one
distinguished contributor, manufacturer of warlike
weapons, too, tainted under the excitement. Her
Majesty began with the chYmicas. Her attention

/ FINANCIAL Prosperity OF THE CouNrRY. When
Secretary COrHin made his scarecTow report the
commencement of the last session of Congress, and
prophesed that nothing but increased tariff could
save the country from ruin, venIured TO dispute
the correctness CT Mr.. Corwin's reasoning, and the
reliableness of his estimates. very brief space of
time has furnished proofs sustaining views. By
statement emanatng from the Treasury Department,
it appears that the for the fiscal year ending
June 3d. 1851, will exceed the estimates by Five
Millions of Dollars.
The entire revenues for the year just closed will
exceed fifty millions of dollars.
We cannot but rejoice al these evidences of the
great prosperity of the country and also rejoice
that the arguments advanced favor a resort in
creased taxation upon the laboring and producing
classes for the bent of special interests have been
signaily alsfed. The people, and especially the
agricultural clisses, will see better into the
character and design of that policy which is seek
ing excuses to increase taxation for the benefit of the
few in CpposItaon TO the interests of the many. We
hope however, that the extraordinary prosperity
in the financial condition of the country will not in
duce greater extravaganza the part of the Govern
ment but that II will recommend reduction of the
duties imposed upon such articles as are essential
the comfort of the poorer classes.
! good and wise policy demands that the duties
should be placed at the lowest upon all articles
of general consumption. low tariff is proved to be
most favorable TO increase of the comforts of the
people, and to healthy development of all the re-
sources OF the country. patriotic and economical
Government, light taxes, rich and prolific SOIL and
free; industrious and moral people, will make the
country great, powerful and prosperous in spite all
foreign rivalry and opposition. On the other hand,
selfish and extravagant government, and high taxes,
will retard the progress fanny country, and make the
people dincontented, divided and weak. The Re-
public has now arrived at stage in its existence,
when 1t becomes of the first importance its future
prosperity, that the tendency in its Government TO
greater extravaga nce and higher taxation, should re-
ceive an effecfns check from the people. The ex-

Gen. Quitman, it is said, has renowned positively

We find the above going the rounds of all the Con
solidation papers. The statement is unfounded Gen.
Qutnan advocated and still advocates separate State
action, with uie,u to united Southern action, in the
hope of thereby saving the Union and protecting the
rights of his State. This is his position, notwith-
standing the attempts made by Gen. Foote and his
supporters to place him in different ground. He is
not on what's called the " South Carolina PLATFORM
and he never has been.
We hope and trust he may be elected Governor of
Mississippi and unless all the signs deceptive,
he will be.
