little, or to have but little read to him of the oc
currences of the day. But next to those eternal
truths which foreshadow to him the future world
and which like the links of connecting chain
bind the things which are of this world, to those
which are to come after it, he thinks most of that
country which in one form or another he has
served more than half century of time. Were

an equitable disposition of the proceeds arising
from the sales of the Public Domain so that the
old States well as the new, should share in the
benefits arising from the common property of the
Nation,-and especially against that innovation
upon the policy of Washington and all the faith
ers and chiefs of the Republic for all time, that it
is not lawful for one Nation, under any pretepce
short OF its own safety, to interfere in the con-
Germs OF another country, especially when that
other country is nation upon the confines of En-

and patriotism long survive the life of Henry
Clay.

Tho trick fully Succeeded both In Pennsylvania
aud the South, and the Democratic party crept in-
power in 1874, it had previously done in 1928
and in 1886, by the successful preparation of a
Fraud aud enjoyed for another oympiad all the
honors and emouments of the government.
The same game was played in 1s4s, but with
out success, through the instrumentality of the
Nicholson letter. In the Presidential canvass of
that year the Democratic politicians of the South
recommended Gen. Cass to the confidence and
support of the people upon the ground that he
was the decided advocate of certain doctrine re-
lating to the subject of slavery, doctrine which
they regarded as vitality affecting the domestic in
situations of the South Since the election Gen.
Cass has fatty repudiated this doctrine and denied
that he ever heldt.
This glance at the past history of the Democra-
tic party, hasty and imperfect as it is, will suf-
fice to show that they are the last mea on earth
to impute electioneering frauds to others, or af-
feet to be scandalised at the alleged misconduct of
the Wings. The game of popular deception and
humbug is one at which they have been playing
tor quarter OF century, and although their
last card failed, they are still heavy win
ners. 1t ill becomes them, veteran gamblers as
they are, with their pockets still filed with their
ill-gotten gains to put on the airs of refined and
scrupulous virtue.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY AT BUE-
NOS AYRES.

An American citizen, writing from Buenos
Ayres, under date of 23d Feb, says:
Gas yesterday was the anniversary of Wash
ington's birthday. Mr.. Pendleton called on Gen.
Urquza, the day before, to ask him to call at his
house after the services, and drink glass of wine
to his memory. Urquiza said he should be most
happy to do So Every American in the place was
there to meet him. He remained two hours,
much pleased with his reception, and left with
three times three hearty cheers. The course pur-
sued by our Minister, has made him very popu-
lar.
"Ihe orator of the day was very eloquent. At
ter giving history of Rosas, his tyranny and
crimes, he wound up with that of Washington,
hoping Urquiza might initiate his illustrious ex-
ample, and make himself the Washington of the
South. At this time the six men of-war were fir
ing salute in honor of the day. Mr.. P had pre-
pared lunch. After introducing the General to
the company, Urquiza requested them to fill for
toast. This he prefaced with few remarks upon
the character of, and then gave, The Memory of

From the N. o: Picayune, April 80.
LATER From TEXAS.

by the arrival this morning of tho steamship
Louisiana, Capt Lawless, we have received in
teligence of another disaster on the coast of Tex
as. The steamship Meteor has been totally lost
on Matagorda bay. She is the fourth vessel lost
by Messrs. Harris & Morgan, within the period of
sixteen months-to wit, the Palmetto at Pass Ca
| vallo, the Globe at Brazos Santiago, and the GAL
weston on Ship Island Notwithstanding in the
aggregate, to about S25O,O0O of entire loss to
them, as they do not insure.

OF San Jacinto, was celebrated by the several

ner highly creditable to the Order. The Sons of
Temperance joined in the celebration with great
unanimity, and contributed, in no small degree, to
the general interest Of the day.
Our regular files of Galveston papers received
by the Louisiana to the 23d.
The Washington Ranger says the damage from
high waters has been greatly exaggerated. On
the Brazos the principal damage was the sweeping
down of the fences but in most instances the
rails were not carried far off so that they only re-
quired to be put up again. Some fields had to be
replanted. The Ranger says the season, on the
whole, has been unusually favorable to the plan
tiers in that region, and for many years the pros
poets have not been more promising than at the
present time for a fine crop of both cotton and
corn
The Galveston papers learn that the planters on
the Brazos and further west are greatly ANNOYED
by the frequent and often successful attempts of
their slaves to run away to Mexico. Some effect
ual measures should be promptly taken to arrest
this evil
letter from Austin mentions very backward
spring, and says that unless there is change in
the weather for the better, the farmers will do
very small business The corn crop is very back
ward. The new State-House has been COM
menced, and is now progressing finely. The
foundation wall is nearly completed The contract
for building was let for $4,000 to Messrs. Nc
Geeke u Co., of Bastrop. Business of all kinds
is dull and money difficult to obtain. The letter

In relation to the fair the Galveston News
says:
The great fair at Corpus Christi seems to take
extensively. Some five or six vessels have left
and are to leave this port for Corpus, with pas
sengers and articles for the exhibition and for
sale. Some fifteen or twenty persons arrived here
from the interior yesterday, on their way to the
tar, by sea from Galveston and we are told that
the numbers going by land resemble the volunteers
who turned out to repel Mexican forays in times

Lands to Michigan and Wisconsin.

The bills making donations of the public do
main to Michigan and Wisconsin have passed the
U. States Senate. We presume there can be no
doubt of their passing the lower House ALSO The
number of acres granted to Michigan is 341, 700 !;
to Wisconsin 10000, making an aggregate of
100000 acres. AT the minimum price of 81, rs
per acre. this is equivalent to grant in money Of
about one million two hundred thousand dollars
to the two States above mentioned 1t must be
conceded that this is generous policy towards the
new States but its justice to the old is very diff
ferent question.

THE. TAX RITZ.

In the House of Delegates few days since,
the following proceedings relative to the Tax Bill
took place. We have already published sy-
nopss of these proceedings, together with the
substitute offered by Mr.. Leake and adopted
by the House, in lieu of the resolutions from the
Senate, but avail ourselves of the following re-
port for the Dispatch, for the purpose of placing
the gentlemen who participated in the discus
sion properly before their constituents:
1.-THE resolutions from the Senate, proposing select
Joint COMMITTEES to prepare coniectnra estimate for
BILL with the substitute therefor offered by Mr. Leake
were taken up for consideration, when Mr. L. addressed
the House In support his substitute proposing that the
Finance Committees of the two Houses shall continue
investigate the subject and propose conjectural bill
with as little delay possible.
Three hours consumed in the consideration of
these resolutons-Messrs jackson of D. 4 T. Rice, Sta
pies, Townes Goode of NJ, Robinson of R. City, Pinnel
Martz Robertson of N City, and VERIFY, the prnc
pal speakers on the question The expediency of adj
ourned session entered largely into the debate but no
vote testing the ofthe House on question was
taken Messrs. Goode and Robinson urged the speedy
passage OF tax BILL based upon such estimates the
House might deem proper adopt and they also urged
speedy final adjournment of the Legislature Messrs
jackson, Staples and others, opposed gropins
In the dark IN forming tax bill The question the
most important one of the session. No guess work
should be the guide of members on SO important subject
no launching out upon the of uncertainty without
compass or rudder should be the policy of the Legisa
ture.
Mr. RICE defended the report of the Finance Commit
mlttee on which he member and maintained that
