WHAT THEY SPLIT oN.-The following ia
the resolution which prevented the fusion Of
the American and Republicans of New York;
ReSo'ued, That the dicta propounded by
the Suprsme Court OF the Republic in the
Dred Scott decision, making every square
mile of the Federal Territory prima facie
Slave Territory, by increasing the facility
with which such extension may be effected,
deepens the obligation resting upon us to re-
s'sl The extension of Slavery, and despite
such dicta Of the Supreme Court, we affirm
The power and duty Of Congress to exclude
Slavery from the Territories OF the United
States.
The American Convention, very properly,
refused to adopt this resolution. The Re
publican Convention pursued the opposite
course, thus defeating all attempts to fuse.
The American Convention adoped the fol.
lowing resolution:
Resotred, That we ure opposed to the ex-
ls'ence and extension Of Slavery into the
Territories of the United States, neverthe-
less that we recognize the right of the native
SSofn Sofn and naturalized citizens of the United
states, permaacnly residing in any Territory
hereof, to frame their Constitution and laws,
ana 10 regulate their domestic and social af-
'ars in their own mode, subject only to the
provisions of the Federal Constitution.

marks: 7a-1l W. A" iIF' stN
1t is gratifying to observe, rrom recent
indications of Democrats sentiment in Maine,
Pennsylvania and elsewhere, that any recon.
mendatlons which the President may urge in
favor of raisig the duties, even with the view
of affording protection to all branches of
American industry, will no longer encounter
the opposition of considerable body among
his political adherents while such as are viii
ling TO protect but feel constrained to rcpu-
date the theory of protection, may still re.
joice in The fact that any rate of duties which
shall raise revenue adequate to meet the
current expenditures of the Government is
likely for some time to come, to prove abun-
dantly ample for all the purposes of even the
most thoroughgoing among theoretical pro.
lectionisls."

The Count dc Mackereli sal in his room in
the west wing of the Hotel de Cont, in a
deep revere and doubtful colored shirt
The stern look of his steady eye and the
convulsive twitchings Of his neither lip
told that fearful and malignant were the
emotions then coursing his breast. l-7fq
He was aroused from his revcrie by the
tones of the bell in the tower Of his Hotel
which was striking the hour of seven. With
hurried movement he sprang from his seat,
and with rapid strides he paced the floor Of
his rather circumscribed apartment. There
was a lofty dignity in his step, an unnatural
fire in his eye, and hole in the toe of his
left boot. Oh! it was a fearful sight to see
that strong man swayed by such torrent Of
passion as seemed TO burn with lava-like
intensity in his bosom, causing his nostrils
to distend, his fingers TO clutch convulsively,
as though he were eagerly searching for the
ghost of dime which had once occupied n
place in the bottom of his leathern money
pouch!
"Yes," he exclaimed: "'1is the hour of
seven! At eight, shall have paid the alter
native of five days, and will then have done
full justice to the hospitality of mine host.
And most horrible expression dwelt upon
his countenance-"and then-hu! ha! hal
yes by the blood of all the Mackereli's that
ever lived!ll it SHALL be done!" .-

could have done so, be would never have
vetoed the bill of 1881. .'i'-fi'
| As the Democrat does not appear to un-
Serstand our remark about the collection ol
revenue during the time of the United States
Bank, we will endeavor to explain. We
meant not 10 say that the Bank collected the
revenue directly, or that the collectors was
officers of the Bank, or that they were not
paid by the Government. The idea we meant
to convey was this. The money collected
was paid into bank on deposit. The bank
paid all the drafts of the Government, and
received no compensation for 50 doing, be-
youd that arising from the credit it received
from being the depository of the public de-
posits. If the Government sent check to
New Orleans for any sum of money, it was
paid by the branch there, without discount,
even though there was not dollar Of public
money'in its vaults. At the present time, ii
would be necessary to send the sum there
from New York, at great risk, aud cost. We
meant to have it understood that the differ
ence Of expense between the two methods
covered the amount charged at that time for
collection.
But the Democrat, while il deplores the
necessity of having so large an army of off.
cials to collect the revenue, seems tender of
coming to particulars. II does not show
why ii should now take ten officials with
salaries amounting to $4,000 in the aggre-
gate, to collect $4,000 or $1,000 in the port
of Salem whereas in former times, six col
lectors did the same job for $500. Nor
does it explain why 346 new recruits have
been added to the official army Of the New
York Custom House. On the contrary, it
contents itself with laying tho whole blame
on the system of import duties, and looks
for bright time when the whole revenue
will be raised by diect taxation. We can.
not exactly understand how the number of
officials is 10 be reduced by the adoption of
this SYSTEM but we are not aversc TO see the
Democracy go through its whole stock of
experiments. When They shall have failed,
as those heretofore tried have failed, the
country will, perhaps, at last, see the neces
sity of returning to the old common-sense
system of Bank and Tariff.
