There was time when the old Wing party claimed
all the decency and all the talent Under the lead of
Webster and Clay, it did have respectaby and great
talent in its ranks. Surely its successor the American
Party can hardly complain if the first men of the Old
Line" refuse to join any party that at time of little
or no excitement toerates such language the part Of
any of its organs.

Expansion and Debt.

The whole monetary system of the United States, but
especially of the Northern and Western portions thereof
has been most awfuly expanded, and money has been
made too cheap. 1t may be thought that this queer
expression, but it is simply the statement of fact
The country is covered with the evidences of debt,
which take the place of real currency, driving it out of
market. And what do we see before We take up
paper and notice among its telegraphic items such
things as these Stock and Monetary Affairs at New
YOrk-More Faiures.-Monetary Difficulties at Buffa-
lO.-The Bank Defacation at Utca-A Attachments Re
lcaSed-Bank Failure. And so on from day to day
while the specie basis leaves the country about fast
it comes in from California.
A few years ago, dollar could be sold for twice as
much as it will now bring Money has been so cheap
ened by speculative movements that dollar is not worth
more than fifty cents used to be, and although wages
have far advanced that no sort of tariff would be su
fcient for protection the aborer is actually of

The premonitory symptoms are now being felt-mer

issued under the bounty land law of 1855 to satisfy
which 231 900 acres will be necessary So far 26,5O0
900 have been granted in accordance with that
act

Proclamation of the Indian Insurgents,

The following is translation of the proclamation s
sued by the insurgents of the city of Delhi showing that
ostenSibly at least the war is one of religion:
Be it known to all the Hindoos and Mahometans that
the Europeans united in the design Of deprvng the
army of its religion and of compelling all their subjects
to become Christians by force 1t in consequence of
positive orders from the Governor General that carrid
ges have been distributed made up with lard and taow
Ii ten thousand resist these orders they are to be blown
to pieces; if fifty thousand they must be disbanded
It therefore, for the sake of faith that we have
united nor have spared the life of single nfidel in
this place We have established the Emperor of Delhi
on his pledge that all the troops who shall kill their
European officers, and allegiance to him, shall
regularly receive double pay
One hundred pieces of artillery and vast treasures
have fallen into our hands 1t is desirable therefore,
that all those who do not wish to become Christians
should be courageous and not permit the internal race
any where to exist.
milton and stores will be proved by means Of receipts
and double price paid therefor by the Emperor Those
who shall yield to their fears or allow themselves to be
deceived by these mposters and trust to their word will
the reward of their credulty suffer the fate of the in
habtants of Lucknow.
1t is necessary, then that the Hndoos and Mahome-
tans should be of mind in this struggle and by
taking advice from parties worthy of confidence have an
eye to their future safety Wherever the proper ar
rangements shall have been made those who have rem
dered service will be put in places of distinction
1t is no less important to copies of this proca
nation to be circulated wherever it is possible than it is
to strike with the sword This proclamation ought to
be posted up in such way that the Mahometans and
| HindoOs can become acquainted with it.
Should the nfdels show submission it will be only a
contrivance to their lives Whoever shall be de-
ceved by them will repent of it. Our is flourish
ing thirty rupees to hOrseman and ten rupees to
foot soldier will be the pay of the servants Of Delhi

They have revolution in Yucatan. What they are
revoutionzing for, is the question The Governor is
advancing on Campeachy with fifteen hundred men, and
will probably take it.
Why the deuce should the Governor take Campeachy?
It sounds like the Dutch taking Holland Why should

tried all sorts of changes Three several and distinct
times has Yucatan declared herself independent of the
Mexican Conederation-four times has she Joined her

insulars are in favor of Comonfort against him
whether they by Santa Annals wooden leg or alb

beyond our reach or power of solution.
Upon the whole, we are inclined to think that the

imperfecy clothed Yucatecos simply indulgng in
little innocent amusement to relieve the duness of the
long Summer months. Our people generally fall into
error from misunderstanding of the meaning attached
to words by the people Of Spanish-American States
We take it that revolution nothing more OF
