Perfectly Plain.

The opponents of the Democratic party
seem to think it strange that Foreigners, as
gene rAl thing, should vote the Democratic
Ticket. The reason is perfectly plain to all
sensible men. The Democratic party says
to Foreigners:
"You are welcome TO our shores; we have
plenty of uncultivated land, on which you
may settle, and by complying with our ma
turalzation laws, we shall regard you, po-
iticalIy and socially, in the same light as
though God had willed that you should have
been born in this country. You shall be
free to accumulate wealth and acquire non
or; and, above all, you shall be protected in
the exercise of such religious opinions as
your conscience shall approve"
The principles and policy of the Demo.
cratic party guarantee this to EVERY for
eigner, Internationally. The party does
not ask, as an offset for this guarantee, that
he shall vote the Democratic Ticket. 1t is
left optional with him. If, upon jnvestiga-
ton, he finds that in other respects the prin-
ciples of the opposition party are better
calculated to promote the welfare and pros
perity of the country, than those Of the
Democratic party, of course he is at perfect
liberty to vote in conformity with his judg-
ment. In the days of Jefferson the Demo.
cratic party stepped forth the advocate of the
cause of the Foreigner. The party has ad.
heared to that principle from that day tc
this, and it will adhere to it, even if defeat
after defeat should be visited upon it. Il
is in consideration of the facts we have
here alluded to, that SO many Foreigners vot,
the Democratic Ticket. Do you think i
strange, upon reflection, that they do SOL
! Is it not natural for men to esteem and fel
iowshp with those who prove themselves

From the N. Y. Herald, Saturday.
TidingS Of the Steamship City OF
Glasgow.

At last, after months Of painful suspense,
indications of the probable fate of the steam
ship City of Glasgow, and of the hundreds
of unfortunate beings who embarked in her
have come to light. Capt. McLeary, of the
barque Mary Morris, from Glasgow, arrived
here yesterday, and reports that ON the 18th
of August, in lat SO deg. 26 min. long. l6
deg. OF min., weather very thick at the time
and aheavy sea ON, he fell in with the hull
of large iron vessel, apparently Clyde built,
painted black, with a bright red bottom
There were three or four compartments in
the hull, and all the wood work was entil e.
" burnt out of her. Some of the men who
were sent aloft to look into her, perceived
she had machinery in her. On the next day
Capt. McLeary fell in with and took on
board full length female figure head, about
seven feet in heigth; with her hands extend
ed, and n wreath upon her head and green
stripes on her dress. The figure can be
seen on board the Mary Morris. at the foot ol
Pine street. Il was the impression of all
on board the barque that the wreck was that
of an iron propeller, supposed to be the City
ofGlasgow. fs .og. III ,yta
From the circumstance that no other iron
vessel has been reported lost, except the
steamer Helen Sloman, some years back,
appearances favor the belief that the wreck
was that of the City of Glasgow, and that
the fate of the poor souls on board though
different from that hitherto supposed, was the
most awful that can, occur among the many
disasters incidental to the ocean. Though
the proofs are small to identify the wreck as
that of the City Of Glasgow, the weather be.
ing too unfayorable to make more thorough
examination, still enough may have been
seen to guide those to q decision who were
acquainted with the unfortunate vessel.
! Our PHILADELPHIA correspondent teiegraphs
that the City Of Glasgow had no such figure
head as that picked up by the Mary Morris
We think he is mistaken. She had such ar
ornament, when she traded from this port
but it may have been taken off. She had
however, red bottom, The figure heat
may have belonged to some Other vessel

Taxes Of 1888 and IS5A--Tsle
JOiarnaI Corrected.

The Journal has habit Of manufacturing
figures to suit its partizan purposes. Its
statement that the taxes of 1864, for State
purposes, are $ls3,349 greater than in 1853,
is based upon no testimony derived from Of
6cial sources. There is nothing in any Of
fetal report or official record to justify any
such conclusion. We propose to show the
fallacy of the old saw that ''fgures won't
lie" when made by Wings, to subserve par
stisan ends. .......
4 The total amount Of taxable property
real and personal--on the grand duplicate
of Ohio, for the year 1853, was $59s,s96,-

and one.tenth, or fifty-one cents on each
hundred dollars valuation, made the total
State tax, assessed in 1868, $s,O26,023 81 4.
Now. the State levy for 1854 is reduced
to three mills and eleven twentieths, OF
thirty-fye and a half cents on each hundred
