OF grave consideration what measures may be
adopted to bring down the revenues to prop

thinks that If duties are judiciously iaid, the
amount required for the support of The Gov

The Baltimore American refers tn the OBJ

wastes that stretch SO far eastwardly and
westwardly from The backbone of the Rocky

has been said and written on the subject of a

this country, there is hardly any such thing as

The Policy OF THE UNITED STATEs-The
Boston Traveller closes a sensible article on
the condition of affairs in Europe with this
language: "As we said above, the clouds of
war may all blow over and the next Eoropean
mail bring cheering news of general pacifca-
ton; but if it does not, let evry American who
loves his country. humanity, and God set his
face as flint against any national interference
in the matter. If any one or more of the bel
ligerents, If war does take place, outrage or in
suit our commerce or our countrymen, then let
US repel the outrage as becomes a nation com.
petent to right its own wrongs and fight its own
battles; and If both sides injure US, as Engl land
and France did formerly, then lei us vindicate
our own cause with two-handed sword but
let the issues be our issues. independent OF
those which now threaten Europe. A steady
but strong hand, a temperate but firm re
solve, polite but just line of national con.
duct, an equitable but an armed neutrality,
will carry us safely through almost any phase
which the politics Of Europe may assume, and
ensure prosperity and peace to ourselves and
to our posterity,""
