From MENIco we learn that Sonora is in a
state of the most complete anarchy. Guaya-
ma was uBsuccessfully besieged for one week
by two thousand Indians. Whole villages had
been burned, and the population murdered.
Santa Cruz de Mayo had been entered by In
dians, and every man killed. The women and
children were confined in a church, and burned
with the rest of the town. A battle had been
fought on the plain of Ell Saucoto, between
Pesquiera and Gandara, in which the latter
were defeated and killed. The former had
pronounced in favor of Juarez.

Coz. THOMAS L. KANE arrived at Philadel-
phia on the 18th, after an absence OF little
more than five months. During this period he
has Travelled from New York, by way OF San
Francisco and San Bernardna, to Salt Lake
City, in the depth of Winter, IN the surpri-
singlv short time, If we not mistaken, OF
fortv-saven days. In San Bernardino he was
arrested as Mormon agent and escaped with
great danger, losing all the furs he had provi-
ded for the tedious journey between that place
and the Mormon settlements in Utah. This
Journey. as we have heard, was attended with
much peril; he was repeatedly compelled to
conceal himself under the merchandise con-
veved by his companions, in order to avoid
falling into the hands of outlying parties of
Mormons, who would have killed him as Sc
cret agent or spy of the Federal Government.
What difficulties he encountered after his ar
rival at Salt Lake City, or how he finally in
duced the Mormon leaders to make peace and
submit TO the Federal authorities, will very
probably in due time be communicated to the
public. Then came the extraordinary ride
from Salt Lake City to the camp of the United
States army, where, as our readers will re-
member, after twenty-siX hours continuous ex-
pusure to the inclemency of Winter, most If
not all the time in the saddle, he arrived in a
state of speechless exhaustion. Finally he
accompanied Gov. Cumming to Salt Lake
City, and saw him indicted into his office !;
and then, his mission of peace accomplished,
he came home T'rib.

NEW PARTY.-A great mass meeting, COM
posed Of Republicans, Americans and Anti
Lecompton Democrats, was held at Dover, in
the State of Delaware, on Thursday last a
week, to organize new party opposed to the
present National Administration. A commit
tee of fifty was appointed from each of the
three counties composing the State, to adop;
platform of principles, each county choosing
its own part of the Committee, SO that every
interest in the State should be represented.
The Committee, after due consultation, re-
ported series of resolutions, which were re-
ceived and adopted by acclamation, the sub
stance of which is as follows =
That the name of the party be ssTHE Pro
PLE'sPARTr.'' That its principles be:
That the citizens of the Territories be al
lowed TO settle their own Institutions and their
own forms of government.
That the constitution of every new State be
submitted to the people for ratification or re-
lection, before being accepted by Congress.
That tariff for revenue be laid with Incl
dental protection to home industry.
That when the revenue of the Government
exceeds the expenditure, such excess as may
be derived from the sale of the public lands
shall be divided among the States, both old as
well as new.
That the importation of foreign criminals
and paupers be prohibited.
A number of former ultra leaders of the De-
nocracy, who had left the party because OF
Mr. Bnchanan'S detection on Lecompton, were
present aud took part in the proceedings.

THE TARIFF MOVEMENT.

In an article under this caption, the Phila-
delphia Erening Journal, OF the 10th inst, re-
marks =
ave are afraid there is disposition ia cer-.
tain quarters to make the question of pro-
tecitve tariff the basis of an organized move
ment against the Democratic party. a more
unwise project could not be started by the
real friends of American industry. Their
effort should be to conciliate that formidable
power in the state. and enlist its sympathes
in behalf of the interests of home labor, in
stead of provoking or perpetuatIng its oppo
sition. 1t would be well to let the present
Administration, in view of the existing exi-
gencies of the country, propose suitable
char ge in our revenue system measure Of
its own
We beg leave 10 differ with our city cotem-
porary. For our part, we would rather be ex-
cused from venturing upon any such hazard
Gus experiments as it suggests. The Tariff Of
1s42 was a popular measure, and under its
workings the industrial interests of our coun-
| try had attained unprecedented prosperous
condition. This tariff had been bitterly op-
posed by the Democratic party. In 1874, how
ever; ssthat formidable power,'' finding that
its chances of success were poor if they con-
its patron and champion, and shouted Justify
for ssPolk, Dallas and the Tariff of '42, and
majority of the people, believing their pro,
fessions, did so far ssconciiate'' it as to vote
for and elect the Democratic candidates. But
no sooner did the leaders OF that party find
| themselves firmly established in power and in
| possession OF the machinery of government,
than they violated their professions, turned
traitors to the cause they had espoused, re-
pealed the tariff of '42, and established poll
cy that finally brought on a monetary crisis,
and prostrated every department of business
in the country, the evil effects of which we
are yet seriously feeling. They have also had
ample opportunities for amending the tariff to
fair protective standard, but instead of do
ing this they reduce the duties whenever oc-
cason presents itself. With these facts sta
ring us in the face, would we be acting wise to
again trust ''that formidable power with car
! rying out measure upon which depends en-
tirely the prosperity of American Industry.

This is an old air and its history is not
precisely known. We copy the following
from the new edition of Bartlett's Diction-
ary of Americansms, which is now going
through the press Of Little, Brown & Co.
There has been much discussion as to
the origin of the term Yankee Doodle, and
of the well-known tune which bears this
name. We quote from Mr.. Duychinck's
excellent Cyclopedia of American Litero-
ture the following:
THE tune Of Yankee Doodle is said to
have been composed by a Dr. Shackburg,
attached to the British army in l765,
when the troops OF the northern colonies
marched into Albany, preparatory TO the
attack on the French posts Of Niagara and
Frontenac The habilimeuts of these re-
cruits presented strange contrast to the
orderly appointments Of the English sol
diery AMI the music to which they march
ed was as antiquated and outre as their
uniforms. Shackburg, who possessed some
musical knowledge, composed tune for
the new comers, which he told them was
one Of the most &c ebrated of those in use
by the army. To the great amusement
of the British, the provincials accepted
the gift, and Yankee Doodle became very
popuar among them"
DR.. Duychinck further states that the
tune was not original with Shackburg, as
it had been traced back to the time oi
Charles l. in England A little later we
have the first appearance Of that redoubt-
able parsonage Yankee Doodle He seems
at that early stage Of his career, to have
shown his characteristic trait of making
the most Of himself

JUDGE TANEY Forty YEARS AGO.-ln
1918, at camp meeting in Washington
county, Md, where many negroes were
present, Methodist clergyman, Rev.
Jacob Gruber, took occasion to denounce
the institution Of slavery, and predict
alarming consequences from its continu-
ance. For this he was tried at the Hagers-
town Court the following month, on
charge of melting slaves to mutiny and
rebellion against their masters. The trial
resulted in an acquittal. The senior
counsel for his defence was the present
Chief Justice fancy. The course ofrea-
soning adopted by the learned counsel is
in striking contrast to the tone of the
Dred Scott decision, recently promulgated
by the same person. He did not merely
confne himself to defence of his client,
but proceeded to give his sentiments upon
the subject of slavery. In order to show
what he then thought, we copy the fol-
lowing paragraph
A hard necessity, indeed, compels us
10 endure the evils of slavery for a time.
1t was imposed upon us by another ma
tion while we were yet in state OF. col

Of leprosy, clephantiasis and other kindred
diseases which have seen in the Fast

so horrible. For these unfortunates there
was no hope. Some years more or less of
a life which is worse than death, was all
to which they could look forward. No

one Of which contains about FIVE hundred
patients, while the other, which has recent

leprosy is supposed to bo produced. partly
by exclusive diet of salt fish, and partly
