peculiar way of talking on the sub
lects it discusses. Speaking of ou1
relations with Mexico, it says:
The purpose of the United States
now that they have bought Louis
Napoleon out and vindicated the
Monroe doctrine, to establish a pro
tcctorate over Mexico cannot be
doubted. Having assumed, in its
negotiations with the French EN-
peror, the payment of the Franco

Louis Napoleon, having thus secured
his claims, withdraws his troops, and
the United States steps in to act the
part of nurse to Juarez and keep him
IN his seat for the presentas the head
of the Mexican Government.
The result of all this is easily fore
seen The poor '.Greasers" only
exchange the Frenchman for the
North American. The United States
eventually takes possession of Lower
California, Sonora and chihuahua.

protege, cuts any capers, or becomes

The CHARLESTON MERCURY. After
a suspension of nearly two years, this
old and favorite paper resumed pub
lication yesterday, under the editorial
management of Messrs. r. B. Rhett
and Brother, assisted by L. w. Daw-
son, Esq. With the exception of the
heading, the ''get up of the paper
has been entirely changed-in fact,
SO entirely different from its former
style, that its most intimate friends
would hardly recognize it. In their
salutatory, the editors say they have
no desire to extenuate, 10 palliate,
or TO excuse the part that the
paper has played in the politics of
the country. "We do not believe
much i'll death-bed repentances and
spasmodic reforms. We shall neither
spread lie, upon our past conduct,
by avo,iching repentance that we do
not feel, nor live q lie now by pro-
testations that would be false. What
we have done, we have done-what
we have written, we have written. 1t

who will belle his past, can give no

81 am decidedly of the opinion
that this amendment should not be
ratified. The first section embodies
principle dangerous to the liberties
Of the people of the whole country,

Massachusetts as Alabama. The third
section would bring no possible good

would reduce those unrepresented to
utter anarchy and ruin. We aresin-

Constitution and laws of the General

law tax on cotton, the people of this
State are now paying a revenue to
the Government of nearly SO, 100000

third of the States were unrepre-

at the States thus excluded. The rati-

Message eI Governor Curtin,

PHILADELPHIA, January 30th.-Governor Curtin s
message was communicated to the Legislature to-
day. The financial report shows an Improvement in
the condition Of the treasury since November 30th,
1850 of over S2,50000o notwithstanding large ex-
peDditures for military purposes.
The extraordinary expenses growing cut Of the
war not refunded by the General Government is
Si0COC00, yet the 1st Of December 1865 the State
debt was nearly S5000O less than or the 1st of anu-
ary, 1861. Under these circumstances the reduction
or even repeal of the ordinary State tax of 81
on real estate is possible with entire safety to our
finances; also the local taxes on bonds, mortgages
loans, &c.
The Governor then gives highly interesting state
ment of the action of Pennsylvania in the prosecu-
ton of the for the Union, alluGes to the promise
of the Federal authorities reimburse the State for
expenses of the emergency and for troops and the
failure Of Congress to do so. and recommends the
Legislature to adopt measures to bring the subject
before Congress.
The Governor concludes by saying: Ny uniform
course during this late to avoid discussion of
thc policy of the General Government. while giving
& hearty support tc the national authorities in all
their measures 10 suppress the rebellion. shall con-
tinue to pursue the same course during the embar-
rassment necessarily connected with the entire res
toration Of the country. The principles expressed
in the message of theaPresident, at the commence
ment of the present session of Congress- will receive
my cordial support.
