INCOMES The income returns of this portion
of the district we do not believe will much ex-
coed one half the amount of those of last year
The falling off is among merchants and traders
as well rs among farmers. 1t was expected
that the omission of the subsistence rue of
last year, would cause lessening of Income
for the tillers of the sail, but so great depreci-
alton from traders was hardly expected. The
fluctuation and depreciation in the price of
goods, has left incomes very light, and where
there has been oil speculations besides, every
thing has gone by the board. We notice that
in the city of Chicago where the incomes last
year amounted to some So, OOo, 900, the figures

Absorplion Of Mexioo.

Any in,lIigent man, looking at the mar
Of the American Continent, viii see WHY
some Of our c uutrymcn are inclined tc
plead for the acquisition of slice Of Mex
can territory. Chihuahus, Sonora, Lower
California, MI perhaps Sinalon, hold such
geographical positions as to presen, Temp
tation for their capture or purchase. Per.
sons who consider fully the growth of this
republic. and the tendencies developed in
its expansion, cannot doubt that ct some,
future period, and that not far distant
these provinces will fall into our possession.
This consideration explains 10 large
extent, why members of Congress commit
themselves to the policy of making loan
TO the itinerant administration of the Mex
lean republic. Since the suppression of
the rebellion, they do not apprehend dan
ger to the Union from the proximity of
monarchical institutions Nor do they
cherish the delusion that any government
the Mexican may set up, or that may be
established over them-and least of all, one
republican In substance as well as in form
will put en- end to the chronic agitations
aud insecurity of Mexican society. Moth
ing less than most stringent military des.
potism can hold the disordered passions
and appetites Of that wreiched people 10
subsection, and even French and Austrian
iute. ycntion have proved insufficient 10
maintain such. rule. There seems TO be
nothing left for the Mexicans but to de-
base, aud consume themselves in internal
dssensions and fratracidal cobh;cts.
While this process Is going on cert ain
American statesmen are planning 10 lay

A rhlra Party.


"A few days ago, Messrs, Doplitile. CoWau,
Dixon. TIeodrieks, Nesmiih; and Eve oil ers is
sued a Call for National Convention, TO be
held in Philadelphia on the fourteenth of Au-
gust, audin which oil the States and Territories
shall be represented Commenting upon this
movement the New York World wisely re
marks
II President johnson or his friends had
any idea Of organizing new party, they
should have commenced at least eight
months earlier. Eight or ten months ago,
the President. stood well in the e'tmation
of the Republican party, o majority OF
whom at that time, deprecated separa'
tion from him. Then, none of their papers
had openly attacked him, q few had ceased
to speak OF him with respect But every
day TINT has elapsed since the meeting OF
Congress has weakened his hold upon the
affections Of the party, which has now set
tied into hopeless estraugement and aliena-
tion. prYfi.rr 4'Ir'ifuaI l
This is the plain truth The President has
lost his opportunity. When the project o.
stariipg third party was conceived, souit
months ago, bold and decided conduct, on The
part Of leaders, familiar with the springs Of ac
tion in the masses Of the people, and adroit in thu
manipulation of affairs, would have made tht
movement formidable. No such leaders ap
peared, and q reaction among the people hs'
followed. Whoever now repudiates the Re
publican Union organ izatioa can find associa
tion and rcpOse only by going over 10 the Dem
ocrate.
