THE REVENUES.

With the great reduction Of taxation by the
acts of Congress at its last session, the expen-
ditures of the government in collecting the
revenue will be much reduced for the next
fiscal year. 1t is very doubtful however,
whether any further reduction of 80 vexatious
a burthen upon the people will be practicable
for the present. At all events, as a measure Of
Justice TO the holders of the nations certif-
Gates of Indebtedness, 1 would recommend
that no,more legislation be had on this sub
ject, unless it be to correct errors Of omission
or commission In the present laws until sufi-
cient time has elapsed to prove that it can be
done and still leave sufficient revenue to meet
the current expenses of the government, pay
the interest on the public debt, AID provide
for the sinking fund established by law.

be in whole and in detail q Democratic adj
ministratiOn, and you would be compelled to
20 with the current, or repent and turn
back when too late to mend the evil YOU
had done. Your argument that Horace
Greeley does not become Democrat by re-
ceiVing Democratic votes, illustrating by
analogy your own election to the Senate, is
hardly pertinent.
The point is not what Mr.. Greeley will
become personally, but what will be the
complexion Of the great legislative branch
OF the government, with all its vast and
controlling power. You know very well,
Mr.. Sumner, that if Mr., Greeley is elected
President, Congress is handed over to the
party who have persistently denied the
rights of the black man; what course you
will pursue toward the colored man is of
email consequence after you have trans
terred the power Of the government to his
enemy. The COlOTed men Of this country
are not as a class enlightened, but they
have wonderful instincts, and when they
read your letter they will know that in a
great crisis in their fate you deserted them.
The Charles Sumner cooperating with JET
tersOD Davis is not the same Charles Sum
ner they have hitherto idOlized any more
than Horace Greeley, cheered to the echo
in Tammany Hall, is the same Horace Gree
ley whom the Republicans have hitherto
trusted.
The black men Of this country will never
be ungrateful for what you have done for
them in the past, nor in the bitterness of
their hearts will they ever forget that,
heated and blinded by personal hatred OF
one man, you turned your back on the mil
lions whom, in past years, you have stood
as a shield and bulwark of defense
Very respectfully YOUR ObedIent servant,
