poor and unworthy class OF tactics that would
seek to fasten the responsibility anywhere else

WASHINGTON. Ma

Whenever the war in Europe shall assume
a positive direction, and the great Powers
which are ultimately to engage in it, take
sides as they must do sooner or later, no
doubt can be entertained but that our govern
ment securities and others of deserved credit
and substance will appreciate under the crash
which is destined to overwhelm those of
merely speculative character. There is no
other resource offered for the unemployed
and alarmed capital which will be diverted
from the regular channels of trade and enter
prise, and must seek investment. But, until
then, we shall have to bear our portion of a
sweeping CONFUSION, which no commercial
nation can entirely escape. Superadded to
the vast amount of fancy stocks that will be
sent to the United States to be sold at any
price for specie, there will be also a
temporary rush of British fabrics, prepared
for the continental markets, which must be
disposed of. This glut of imports will affect
the revenues temporarily, but cannot last.
On the contrary, as has already been stated,
the effects of the war will be to restrain the
ordinary range of imports. The other cause
can only be regarded as passing and acct
dental.
The shutting off of the continental demand
for British fabrics will necessarily react seri-
ously upon cotton and perhaps show our free
trade theorists practically the value Of that
home market which they have so much slight
ed and despised in their visionary specula-
tons The depreciation in this staple already.
at the first shock, is more than 5 10 000, 900 on
the crop. Further decline III price is inevita-
Bile. for which there can be no immediate
recOmpense, by any impulse to be given to
our own manufactures an impulse destined
to be felt advantageously if the war should
be protracted.-Cor. North american.

fE@ The Union and American re-publshes
from the Washington Constitution the following
in relation to the application of poor mail
contractor, for payment of quarters service,
amounting to forty dollars
I'VE are authorized to say that the Third
Assistant Postmaster General knows nothing
of such an application for money, and that
the letter which he is said to have sent TO the
applicant must have been copy of a printed
statement which was addressed under date of
10Th ultimo, to all contractors indiscriminate-
ly, so as to explain fully that the usual pay
ments could not be made for their services,
owing to the failure of Congress to make the
necessary appropriation. Had the contractor
in Col. Netherlands town. after receiving this
printed circular, stated his circumstances,
means might have been provided to pay him
by draft out Of the limited revenues available,
as has been done in some cases where the
amount was less than fifty dollars, although,
in reality. by the terms of his contract, he
could not claim settlement before the close
of the present month"
Our understanding is that the contractor
wrote for his money, and received in reply the
letter which Col. NETHERLAND read in this
city, and which we have published. Whether
he stated to the Department the nature and
extent of his embarrassment is immaterial.
The letter which Col. NETHERLAND read, is,
no doubt, genuine as he will be able to show;
and we are inclined to think the ''explosion"
will turn out flash in the PAN"

than ever to pursue the decided course, long
since marked out by them.
The Minister of Finance, the celebrated
Lerdo de Tejada, was about issuing another
decree confiscation Of the Church property,
on more radical basis than any yet propos-
ed. The general draft of the decree we I'M

be ready for publication before the next mail.
In the meantime, Miramon also was pursu-
ing his plans of appropriation" with per-
tinacity that promised partial. if not complete
success. The particulars are given in our
special correspondence. As it has before been
fDtimated, this course had brought down upon
him the displeasure of the church, which,
having failed to break him down by the ex-
petition to Vera CrnZ, is now plotting his
overthrow anew, and the restoration of Zulo-
aga, a more plant tool, to power And in
the plot, as in all others conco3ted by Pedre
Miranda and the hierarchy, were the French

CoSsIsTENcY.-The sham democracy of
Tennessee supported Mr.. BUCHANAN, although
in his early manhood--if he really ever pos
sessed manhood-he was deeply dyed in
federalism, and are now sustaining his adj
ministration, Notwithstanding he has recon-
mended and in his messages anti-demecratic
doctrines. They are looking with hope to the
election.of JNo. LETCHER in Virginia, man
who, but few years ago, endorsed abolition
doctrines as abhorrent as any ever uttered by
SEWARD. They are running for Congress in
the Memphis district, AVERY, whose skirts
arc scarcely clear of the whiggery they are
wont to denounce; whilst they are uniting
upon READY in the fifth district. In all of
these instances they sink the past, and know
nothing but the present. But whilst doing
this they show their consistency by attempt
ing to injure the prospects of NETHERLAND
by holding up to condemnation his past
record. This won't do. Their inconsistency
interposes a shield to the blows they aim at
NETHERLAND. Let Gov. HARRIS and his
partisans stand up like men and shoulder the
responsibility of the. past sins of their con-
federates before they presume TO ask con-
demnation of NETHERLAED.
