We do not know with what encourage

The ADDRESS We publish this week
the able and patriotic address of the Dem
ocratic State committee to the Democracy
of the Keystone State, exhorting them
to do their duty at the coming general
election. 1t is clear, forcible and argu-
meniative document, treating the great
questions Of the day, as well as those that
are past and determined, in a manner
that the people of Pennsylvania cannot
fail to appreciate and approve. As the
document will speak for itself more iorci-
bly, than we can, we forbear further COM
ment, commencing it to the perusal OF all
who desire TO be informed as TO the true
position at present occupied by the ma
tional Democracy, and the principles upon
which it is contemplated to meet the great
consolidated band of Abolitionists, Know
Nothings, Renegades and what-nos'
which are now arrayed against us. In ere
are wholesome truths contained in 1t, that
cannot fail TO impress the unbiased rea-
der, and we fell assured that no man can
read it without deriving benefit.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
Washington, june IA, 1859

]
SIR:--ln answer to your letter Of the 9th
instant, | have to inform you that the
brief letter from this Department to which
you refer, dated the 7th Of May last, and
addressed to Mr.. Felix Leclerc, was in re-
ply to an application for Information, and
was principally intended to recommend
caution TO our naturalized fellow-citizens,
natives of France, in returning to that
country, as the operations of the French
conscription law were not precisely known
here, and might bear injuriously upon
that class of American citizens. Most OF
the Continental European nations have a
system of military organization by which
their citizens are compelled TO serve III
the army by conscription, as in France,
where the duty is designated by lot, or 10y
daft, as in Prussia, where every person
is required TO take his turn as a soldier.
The condition of American naturalized
citizens returning to their native country
where the system of compulsory service
prevails, and who had left before perform
ing such service, has frequently been 'he
subject of discussion with some of the Eu-
ropean Powers. Quite recently it has aris

Mexico Conyaleseinr.

The latest private intelligence from Mexico,
received at Washington city from responsible
sources, is very encouraging for the ascend
ency of the Liberal Party, who continue to
gain ground in the goodwill of the people.
This party resolutely insists on the constitu-
ton Of 1867, and on the sequestration of the
church estates, worth between two and three
hundred millions of dollars. This immense
property distracted from the State and the
people; exempted from taxation; and main
tanning myriad of drones in idleness; has
contributed more than anything else to the
ruin of Mexico Its appropriation by the
State will be only the people resuming their
own; and it will give the means of establish
ing a firm and stable government. This is
all that the people Of this country should de-
sire of Mexico. Alien to us in blood, differ
ent in religion, strange in manners, unlike in
customs, and in the average degraded IN in
telligence, it is not our policy either to pro-
tect, to conquer, or to annex that country
Our greatest interest is the speedy canvales
cence of the American "sick man.! so as
to afford no pretext for our being called on to
nurse him, or temptation to plumber him Of
his possessions. Let us continue as nation
10 mind our own business" and ever stick
to the old Washingtonian policy Of Peace
with all nations; entangling alliances with
none"! IN tn2.e -l.a 3-.sG.ea

The Tax Collector Abroad.

We hear of much distress being inflicted
upon the people of the interior of the State
from the effort of the Tax CATERERS to make
the amount of their duplicates off the personal
property of the taxpayers. HORSES, COWS,
and property necessary to the carrying on Of
their farms and the subsistence of themselves
and children, are being seized and brought to
forced public sales: at which the property is
most shamefully sacrificed, from their being
no money in the country wherewith to buy
it. When the taxes for the "five million
loan" came to be levied and collected, what
then will these people do? Its little finger,
in the way Of taxation, will be heavier than
the whole hand Of the present assessment -
Truly, the future looks dark for many!

~ A new law in Tennessee Furnishes

az A new law in Tennessee Furnishes
the crime of obtaining money or goods by
false pretenses, as penitentiary offense.-
Some time since, poor degraded female Of
that State was arrested on the charge of
grog seller Of whom in better days she had
been liberal customer that she had de-
frauded him out of twenty-five cents
worth Of liquor by false representations. The
jury before whom she was tried found her
guilty, but commended her to the mercy of
the court. The court, disregarding the re-
commentator, sent her to the Penitentiary
for three years. To remedy such an act OF
injustice, the aid..of the Supreme Court OF
the State was invoked, and the Judges of
that court expressing the opinion that the
law in question was never intended to include
cases of such petty character, reversed the
judgment, and passed an order that the wo-
man be set at liberty. .sl' .a

The Mime sotlan and the Minneapolis
Journal.


A paper in Minneapolis called the Journal,
edited, as we are told, by Douglas Democrat,
but protesting nominally, Republicanism, on
the 9th ult pitched into us in an article
headed Minnesotian Inconsistency an
article which the Times of this city copied,
with flourish about the Journal being an
old established Republican paper" when it is
not yet six months old and has never shown
itself to be Republican by any works. In
the St. Anthony News we find reply to
the Journal from correspondent in Minne-
apolis, from which we extract the first two
paragraphs, thanking our unknown friend for
the sheer justice which he does us:
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 20, 1859.
Mr.. EDITOR The Minneapolis Journal,
as appears by its leader in the issue of Jan.
9th, has suddenly become very much sur
prised at the course of the Minnesotian; it
becomes emphatic in its denial of certain
things, boldly AYERS certain other things, es-
tablishes beyond peradventure still other mat
tiers, and concentrates in one short article the
conclusions and convictions brought forth by
a week of mental effort, (which conclusions
and convictions amount to nothing but de-
monstration of Journal inconsistencies.
If the Journal would occupy half as much
space in defining its position, and become a
positive entity in relation to one or the other
side of the railroad question, it would be ex-
ceedingly gratifying to some of its friends.
To those who are familiar with the course of
the M1NNEsoTIAN, and particularly ofthe Jour-
nal on the railroad question, it must seem a
little peculiar that the former should be ar
raigned by the Journal on the ground of it's
inconsistency" The MINNEsoTIAN has
fought the gigantic Railroad swindle from its
inception up to the present time. It has, con-
sistently and manfully, openly and at all times
battled against, and endeavored to thwart the
scheme and stay the progress of-the great
corruption movement, and, whether right or
wrong, we can but give it credit for bold
and consistent course. No man need look
over it's columns second time to know where
it stands, or to know that it occupies the same
position that it ever has upon this question,
and we respectfully submit to the Journal
that the people of Hennepin County have
attained to that condition of enlightenment in
which they could appreciate manly and out
spoken position in their public journals on
matters of public interest, and if the Journal
is credulous upon this point, we would sug-
gest that for once it take bold, decided
stand, upon some important public question
and we will guarantee satisfactory result.

Treachery ut q Discount.

The dishonored Owens of the Times enters
into labored special pleading yesterday to de-
fend his publication of confidential letter /;
and supposes certain cases, wherein man
might be justified in violating the confidence
Ieposed in him by friendship! 1t so happens,
however, that none Of his supposed cases are
like the case in question: the publication of
the letter of friend to another supposed friend;
the one leading party man, and the other the
editor of the leading party organ! The lat
ter is OWENS predicament, and his violation
of trust justly excites the horror of all de-
cent men Of every party. Tfeachery meets
no sympathy in this community fact cred

The Saint Paul Times Slandering tho
ssSixty.'s

Our contemporary of the Times thinks it a
violent shame that the MINNEsoT1AN should
keep on publishing continually, the Anti-Tax
Address of the "Sixty" Loan members of
the Legislature, made ITO the Public i'm
mediately prior to the Loan Election in April
last-thus, as it says, holding them up before
Wall Street as "Repudiators in advance -
We reply by asking: did the M1NNEsoT1AN
induce them to make or sign such an address?
Didn't they, in fact, publish it to injure us
and brand the "lie' upon us? Do they and
their Loan friends shrink back now from
standing up to their solemn pledges contained
in that document, against the future taxation
of the people to pay the interest on the Rail-
road loan? Is it indeed true, that the Ad-
dress was published to deceive the people of
Minnesota into voting for the Loan, with no
intention of keeping the pledges it contained
The Times would make us think such was the
idea under which the Address was got up
but we have on our part too much confidence
in many Of the men who signed it, and espe-
cially in the Republican portion Of the "Sixty,"
in the coming day Of trial they will by
their works show to the whole world, that
they at least were honest and in earnest when
they subscribed their names to its declara-
tions-they will stand up like men, and
maintain to the last their before-election pledg-
es to the deceived and swindled taxpayers of
Minnesota!
1t is the Times rather that ISLANDERS these
men and impugns their integrity by intimating
otherwise, and not the MINNEsoTIAN when it
simply publishes their own recorded and de-
iberate act
