The San Juan DimcuIty-General
Scott Going to the Pacific.

WAsHINGroN, Sept. 17.-Lieut. General
Scott is to sail on Thursday for the seat of
difficulties on our northwestern boundary.
he is to be accompanied by Adjutant Gener-
al Thomas, Liet. Col. G. W. Lay and Assis-
tant Surgeon Charles A. Crane. Upon his
arrival at San. Francisco he is to be taken on
to his destination by special steamer, unless
the regular one for carrying the mail is ready
to depart. The General is also empowered to
control the movement of mail steamers after
reaching the strait or Gulf of Georgia. The
President has said that our right to the Is
land of San Juan is clear, but the Senate
rarely presses extreme claims at the hazard
of war Hence Gen. SCOTS hands are prob
ably not tied up with instructions: but, in the
hope of pacific solution, or with a view oi
deferring decision, large margin of discre
ton will doubtless be given him.
The present delicate and complicated state
of affairs at San Juan, growing out of Gen.
Harney's movements, requires great care
and caution on the part of our government to
prevent collision.
The President, in conferring with General
Scott in regard to the matter, suggested the
propriety of sending some one there who was
impetuous and more prudent than Genera
Harney General Scott at once informed tht

The instructions were partially prepared
and considered in Cabinet council to-day
They will probably be completed tomorrow
and forwarded Immediately to New York

advices from General Harney, brough
by the Star of the West. There had been n
material change, and matters remained il

Un,DOrtant Facts Il.

The voters of this Senatorial District should
not forget, that the repeal of the three m i'll
tax on the tonnage of the Pennsylvania Rail
Road, would deprive the State of upwards of
$500, 200 of revenue annually, and they
should also remember that Augustin Durbin
the Democratic Candidate for State Senator,
stands pledged to oppose the repeal of said
tax, in tbe-event of his election.
They should remember, that Louis W. Hall
the Know Nothing and Black Republican
candidate for State Sena tor, is the paid Coun-
sci of the PENNSYLVANIA Rail Road Company
If elected he would be under the direct infu-
ence and control of the officers and stoek-hol-
ders of that powerful corporation, and would
in all probability, vote for the repeal of the
three mill tax These are important facts
which every tax p aver in the district should
keep in remem berance from now until the
second Tuesday of October Nothing.is to be
more dreaded by the people than the influence
of powerful corporations in elections They
should never sanction or tolerate it. WheI

tween the People and the Company, and th

member of either branch of the State Legisla
ture, who is in favor of the repeal movement
inaugurated by the Rail Road Company.

Corwin and Giddtngs.

These leaders of the different shades of Re.
publcanism in Ohio are having a nice time
of it. We noticed sometime ago that Gid
dings had written letter to certain Mr..
Plumb. deneying that Corwin represented
the Republican party when he advised sub
mission to the Fugitive Slave Law. Corwin
is not disposed to submit to the dictation of
.Old Joshuay' and to come down at the
crack of the Abolition whip. In recent
speech he said that father Giddings was a
''good old fellow-honest old soul-but sub
iect to fts," as those who read the correspon-
dence with him (Corwin) would know. Af-
ter quoting sect I'd of the 4th Article of the
Constitution, Mr.. Corwin says:
''That is the Law, and we have agreed to
abide by 1.-THE law is constitutional, and it
must be OBEYED. Young lawyers with
soaped moustathios and cigar foot long
in their mouths, who had cIrsorily glanced
| over Blackstone's Commentaries, and had
read Swan on exectors and administrators,
and perhaps seen Wilcox's Forms, had no
hesitation in pronolncing it unconstitutional;
but in the face of such distinguished authori-
ty, 1T is constitutional, and it is the law OF
| the land-that the highest and most intelli-
gent tribunals in the land had so pronounced
it-so decided it, and there can be no doubt
about 1T. Now. ii being the law, says the
old fellow, it must be obeyed-ifit it is resisted
it is felony; if resisted with and armed force,
| tits treason, and those who resist it must b,
shot-nust be hung. Some men among u:
have doctrine they call higher law doct
rine, and profess that their conciences are a
bove and beyond the Constitution, and they
will not obey the law. These gentlemen art
Traitors. and must be elevated 20 purer at
-suspended-hung up"
Very sound doctrine. but Mr. Corwin is
certainly in the wrong boat. The Republi
can party of Ohio is completely under the lea'
of the old man who has fits, as Corwin mus
have discovered when Giddings compelled tn
Republican Convention to discard Judg

IIunbugS.

The Democratic Party has recently been
charged with being favorable to the reopen
ing of the slave trade. This is the most ri
diculous humbug of the day. and shows that
the opposition are hard run for something to
write and talk about. The democratic party
is and always has been opposed to the re-
opening of the Slave Trade and the opposi-
ton leaders are as we'll aware of this fact as
wea re. A few southern fire eaters who are as
destitute of patriotism and common sense as
the abolitionists of Maine and Vermont, are
the only advocates of the re-opering of the
slave traffic. The democratic party, as we
have already said, is opposed to it.
Another humbug resorted to by the oppo-
sition is the Tariff. They pretend that they
are the friends of protective Tariff and that
the democratic party is opposed to it. Now
how are the facts? The Tariff of 1916 was
passed by Democratic votes It was repeal
ed by Black Republican Congress, and the
low tariff now in existence, which has proved
so injurious to the manufacturing interests Of
the country, enacted. Nathaniel P Banks one
of tho leaders of the Black Republican party
was one of the frmest advocates of the pres
ent low tariff. David Wilmot the opposition
leader in this state went so far while in Con
gress, as to recommend the abolition of dutie
on import, and a resort to direct taxation fo
the purpose of raising revenue for the sup
port of the government. Our opposition
friends should 'get up a couple of ne,
humbugs forthwith the old ones won't take
