VJ, ATTORNEY AT LAW, PITTSTON, PESK'A S and JEWELRY. President Grant's Record. dently with the repeal of so many productive internal taxes and t lie transfer to the free list of tea, coffee, spices, gums, and many other articles, the duties on which took from the people about $50,000,000 per annum, our national currency and our bond- have steadily appreciated In value, and our debt has been reduced at the rate of $100,000,000 per annum. Tt is now about three years and five months since President Grant was inaugurated and in that brief period his faithful administration ha* reduced our annual interest account 822,000,000, of which $20,000,000 was extinguished by the payment of bonds, and 82,000,000 by the exchange of six per cent, bonds for those bearing but five per cent. These astonishing results prove the unexampled prosperity of the country, and admonish us to avoid change. How tliey must impress the statesmen and capitalists of other countries may be inferred from a remark submitted to Parliment by Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 2nd of June, 1871. It had been proposed to relieve the overburdened laborers of the British Islands by redu- w«r. SAVINGS BANK, I 8 S I 8 I $ * 1 Ml NEKS' C. W. FREEMAN. Hon. William D. Kelley, in Irs letter uceeptin.' the Republican nomination for re-election to Congress from the Fourth District of Pennsylvania, presents a concise statement of some of the great reforms instituted and successfully carried through by President Grant. Hesiiys: Seventeenth.—It would be supreme folly to put the new reforms out to nurse with a party which would strangle them. Many of the exquisite forms given to those beautiful specimen's of cartheru ware which form the service of our breakfast and our dinner tables, ir« not capable of being executed in tli3 lathe of the potter. The embossed orn imenty on the edges of the pi ites, their pnlver0- nal shape, the gilded surface of inanv of the vases, would all .be difficult and costly of execution by the hand ; but they become easy and uniform in all their parts, when made by press ng the soft material out of which they are formed, into a hard mould. The care and skill bestowed on the preparation of the mould are amply repaid by the multitude it produces. In many of the works of the China manufactory one part only of the article is moulded—the upper surface of a plate, for example, whilst tho upper side is figured by the lathe. In some instances, the handle, or only a few ornaments, are moulded, and the body of the work is turned. Another instance which may be cited in illustration of this peculiar kind of mechanical operation, is that of glass seals. A3 is well known, the process of engraving upon gems is one requiring considerable time and skill iu order to insure a perfect result. The seals thus produced can therefore never become common. Imitation s however, are made,of various degrees of resemblance, and these have extensively taken the place of tho genuine article. The color which is given to glass, is perhaps the most successful part of tho imitation. A small cylindrical rod of colored fljlass is heated in the flame of a blow pipe, until the extremity becomes soft. The operator then pinches it skillfully between the ends of a pair of nippers, which are formed of brass, and on one side of which has been carved in relief the device intended for the ornamenting of the seal. When the requisite care has been taken to heat tho. glass in a proper manner, and when the mould lias been well finished, the seals thus produced are not bad imitations, some of them being extremely beautiful in their appearance. They are produced in very large quantities and at a small cost. DEALER IN Pi iPSit 0 A t vO§f IS g * 1 a o * s Ifeis®. SPECTACLES, CUTLERY ReyolFers, Musical Instruments, &c.; &c. Of Fittatoxi.

To the record of General Grant I need not refer The American citizen who is not familiar with it is ignorant of the most thrilling chapters in the military history of bis country. Nor will the history of President Grant's first term be less memorable. Indeed, 1 can recall no administration with which, in its efforts to reduce the patronage and personal power of the Government and to secure the prosperity and lessen the burdens of the people, it does not compare most favorably. To appreciate the services it has rendered the Southern States by surpassing anarchy and restoring tliei** rights to outraged "carpet-baggers," "scalawags" and colored citizens in the Carolinas, Tennessee, Mississipi and elsewhere, one lias but to study the condition of Southern society, the temper and purposes of its dominant class, as reported by General now Senator Carl Schurz,to President Johnson who had commissioned him to investigate these subjects and report thereon, and to contrast the averments of his, report with 'lie temper that permitted a fail' election to proceed quietly last month in every county of North Carolina. Without force or violence the President has broken up the military organization known as the Ku lvlux. and secured to every citizen of each State the ability to enjoy all the privileges and immunities pertainable to American citizenship in eveiy State. What great and munificent results he has thus produced, the report of Gen. Schurz and the files of the New York Tribunt for the first half of August, 1S72, considered togethei, abundantly show. Security and order now prevail throughout the South, and, borrowing my words from the speech of Senator Schurz made in the Senate on the 19th of April, 18~iD. I say to the Liberal Republicans,as the malcontents style themselves, " Show me the dungeon in which a single man languishes for political offenses: show me the gallows upon which a single one expiated bis crime of treason ; show me the exiles in foreign countries who might not at this very moment return unmolested to their homes. Where are they?" No man can tell, for in enforcing the laws the President has but to quote the Senator again, "fulfilled his duty to protect the conquerors in the South against the evil spirit of the conquered." To illustrate the desire of the President to lessen the patronage of the Government and purge it of temptation to corrupt practices,reference need be had to but two branches of the service, viz., those of Indian Affairs and Internal Revenue. Has not the term Indian agency ever been the synonym of peculation and fraud? and have not the corruptions of the Indian Bureau been from time immemorial a stench in the nostrils of the nation? That such has been the case no well informed man will have the temerity to deny. Succeeding Administrations beheld the evil, but lacked the courage to grapple with so influential a branch of the patronage, or with so compact, wealthy, and potent a political agency as the ring of Indian contractors and agents. Not so was it with President Grant. He fears no human power so much as he doesthestingof conscience which, in his case, is sure to follow a dereliction from duty. In bis earliest manhood, while serving as a Lieutenant in the wilds of Oregon, lie saw thewrongs which have been habitually inflicted upon the Indians by those to whose cam they have been' confided by the Government, and became convinced that they too were men, who could be brought within the pale of society if they were treated with humanity and governed with justice. Whether these impressions were reasonable or Utopian, and whether n w that be is president, the young Lieutenant is not, regardless of patronage giving the Indian the benefit of them, we or Pennsylvania may learn from Felix Brunor, William Welsh and George H. Stuart. If the assurance of these uentlemen will not satisfy our doubts, we may appeal to the mahy religious .denominations whose agents, designated in compliance with the President's request, are to be found on almost every reservation, and who are training thousands of adult Indians in the arts of husbandry and housewifery. What admiiable arguments forGrant's re election weretheappealsin Philadelphia and New York of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail fur schools for the children of their tribes and churches for their people. Grant's Indian policy is a success which must lead to the abolition, at an early day, of the Indian Bureau, with all its patronageand corruptions, and the absorption into the political people of the country of the scattered remains of the once savage tribes who occupied it. In offering this assurance, I am not oblivious of the fact that Cochise and his band of lawless Apaches, who will not respect the treaties made by the chiefs of their tribes, are, by their ourages, courting condign punishment. But" this does not militate against my assertion, unless the existence of the gang of which Mara and Dougherty have been the sanguinary agents proves that American civilization is a failure. J)R. W.

I should now like, if the House will allow me, to say a few words on auother aspect of the subject, on which I have collected some statistic?, which, I am persuaded, will be found to be not without interest, and the effect of which will be to exhibit the most remarkablo evidence of national prosperity which the world ever saw. For this purpose I take the three periods in the present century —1825, 1850, and 1870-1—and apply certain tests of public prosperity to tlies# different periods. The total amount of funded and unfunded debt was in 1825, £800,83],408; in 1850, £787.029,162. and in 1879-1, £737,400,237. The total payments for interest, Ac., of debt, including terminable annuities were, in 1825, only ten years after the war was over, £30,205,268; in 1850, £28,207,533,and in 1870-1, £26,826,436. So that, at this period, when we are invited to stop our payment of debt and apply the money to the reduction of taxation or to the service of the year, we are actually paying nearly £1,000,000 annually less for the charge of the debt than in 1825."

Burnside addressed the Coavention of Soldier? and Sailors at Pittsburg, giving an account of the origin of the Convention, after which he said: Such as Cooking, Heating, Gas Burning and Parlor Stoves, the attention of the public is respectfully called to the fact that he will soli them as « heap as they can bo purchased elsewhere.

This combination has been tiihanced in numbers by the desertion of » few disappointed, discontented and dilapidated men who acted with the Republican Party during the war, and a large majority of wbotn have been heavy weights upon the Republican Party ever since. I had, during the war, a slight personal experience which illustrates the course which these men pursued. All my comrades of Westeren Pennsylvania,Ohio and Indiana will remember that I was compelled by a sense of duty to arrest Mr. Yaliandigharn for treasonable conduct during the war. You will also remember that 1 gave him fair warning, by issuing General Orders, No. 28. In disregard of that order, he continued to counsel resistance to the anthority of the Government and I arrested him.

I have taken the liberty of italicising a few words the better to emphasize the contrast between the results of forty-five years thus triuinphaatly presented and those of forty-one months of Presideut Graut's Administration. If the reduction of the British debt $309,906,155, and her interest account 820,1)00,000, in forty-five years, exhibits "the most remarkable evidence of national prosperity which the world ever saw," what must be the measure of our prosperity, as attest ed by the fact that, with constantly diminishing taxation, Grant's Administration has in forty-one months reduced the debt $330,226,350, and the interest account $22,000,000. In view of these exhibits the American people may well give heed to the adage, "Lot well enough alone." Opposite 3?liooiaix Hall, Pittston, Pa. Orders received at Messrs. Gregory A Snover.

Dr. A KNAPP. Feb. 8, 137? -!-U They have full and complete arrangements mads for the Mr. Yaliandigharn, and gave me the names of distinguished citizens who tolfl him that I had made a very serious mistake in making the arrest; that Mr. Yaliandigharn would be considered as a martyr, and that the political enemies of the Administration in Ohio would at "once make him their standard bearer as candidate for Governor, and elect him by an overwhelming majority. I represented to Mr. Lincoln that I was upon the ground and knew the situation better than these gentlemen, and that Mr. Yaliandigharn should not be released unless superior authority so ordered. Mr. Lincoln said to me that he would not interfere, but had simply given tho advice at the instance of prominent citizens, among whom were Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois. What was the re3nlt of Mr. Lincoln's declining to interfere, as he was urged to do by Mr. Trumbull and others. Mr. Yaliandigharn was put forward as the candidate, and was beaten by that gallant old war horse, Gov. Brough, by over one hundred thousand majority. Tho action of the people of Ohio at that time demonstrated their loyalty to the Government, and I doubt not that their action in the present campaign will be quite as strongly illustrated; I will not detain you, comrades, by discussing the political questions of the day. You will have them fully discussed by other people who are skilled in public dehate; besides I am quite satisfied that you are fully posted upon such topics. Men that have served in the field and staked their lifes and reputations upon an issue so important to your country, cannot approach a political canvass like the present without appreciating keenly the real issues of the contest. It will not be amiss for me, however, to say that I join you in the belief that Gen. Grant has been a gallant soldier; that he has done service to his country in the field, which cannot be over estimated; has conducted the affairs of the Government since he has been Chief Magistrate with great discretion and integrity, and has showed himself every way favorably disposed to peace at home and abroad, and entirely free from* personal self-seeking aggrandizement. We are here to express to the country our continued confidence in Gen. Grant and our purpose to elect him President for the second term. I am quite sure we do not make ourselves misunderstood to-day by expressing any ill feelings towards our late enemies in the field, because we have no such ill feelings, and we know that the hatchet is buried, and we are disposed to do all in our power to co-operate with the people in all sections of our land in forwarding the prosperity of our country ; but for rulers, comrades, let us select men who in the hour of their country 's peril were true. Let us, of all things, refuse our support to men who believe that there was right of secession.

Tub Advertising Swindler. — The Chicago Times', in an elaborate article, "swindling," has this to say concerning the advertising swindler : He coaxes the unwary merchant into giving him liis "ad." by a hundred spurious dodges. He is going to have a f abulous number of hotel registers manufactured, or a lot of directories made to be hung in rural post-offices and railway depots ; or is about to issue an advertising sheet for " gratutions circulation," devoted to the Lord knows what; or is a painter, and being about to sally forth to bedaub the rocks and hills of a beautiful land with his impudent announcement", lie wheedles the tradesman into letting his name be associated with this vilest of advertising swindles. Or he is going to ornament telegraph poles in the same manner ; or to rig up a vehicle, containing notices, to be driven about the _ streets, or has frames for vonr divers public places ; or, iu shqiifc -vishes to defraud, by some specious game, the advertiser out of his hard earned taonev. He has a thousand or more methods *C, perpetrating his frauds, from proposals to disfigure street lamp and board fences to painting your announcement on the froDt of the country pnlj.it. But tho basis of all l is profos tions is arrant cheating.

On the 4th of March, 1869, when Grant was inaugurated, there were in the employ of the ofliee of Internal Revenues (1,277 persons, and the cost of assessing and collecting this branch of the revenue for the preceedlnotwelve months had bee-i $7, =592,177,72. Has heas President attempted to retain the power the continuance of this branch of the service would give him? Neither Summer nor Schuiz has had the effrontery to charge him with this for in each annual message he has expressed his desire for the rapid reduction of internal taxes,, and the earliest practicable abolition of the whole svs tem of taxation which requires the collector and assessor to dog the steps of the citizen. Treating with derision the teachings of those who would maintain this burdensome and inquisitorial system of taxes in order to relieve the foreigner who would compete iu our markets with the productions of our own laDorfrom paying anything for the privilege, he has persistently urged the maintenance of duties on foreign manufactures and the repeal of internal taxes. Fortunately the majority of Congress has been in accord with him on this point, and the internal tax system totters to its fall. I have no hesitation in predicting that it will be abolished before the expiration ot President Grant'B second term. On the 1st of January, 1S72, or in less than three years from his inauguration the number of employes in the service had been reduced from G,277 to 2 334 ■ and, by the act of June last, this number will be reduced fifty per cent, between the tirstof October and the close ot tne year.

Those states whose per cent. of gain has been less than these average rates have comparatively decreased in that population by emigration and those where the gain has been greater than the natural increase have enlarged it by immigration. From the geographical positions ol these respective States, it is evident that the flow of migration has been uniformly South and partly West. If this continues, as it probably .will, the negroes will monopolize Florida and Southwestern Texas, and as the white population presses on their heels, and to their exclusion from their present field of labor, they will eventually pour into Mexico and Central America. This pressure of the white race, to the displacement of the black, will probably ever and at least be in proportion to the preponderance of the former over the latter. aDd which in 1870, by the oensus of the above States and Territory, exclusive of Missouri and Delaware, was 7,760,988 whites to 4,398- 017 blacks. It will be increased by white immigration. N . J .

Tt is now about three years and five months since President Grant was inaugurated and in that brief period his faithful administration ha* reduced our annual interest account 822,000,000, of which $20,000,000 was extinguished by the payment of bonds, and 82,000,000 by the exchange of six per cent, bonds for those bearing but five per cent. These astonishing results prove the unexampled prosperity of the country, and admonish us to avoid change. How tliey must impress the statesmen and capitalists of other countries may be inferred from a remark submitted to Parliment by Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 2nd of June, 1871. It had been proposed to relieve the overburdened laborers of the British Islands by redu- w«r. SAVINGS BANK, I 8 S I 8 I $ * 1 Ml NEKS' C. W. FREEMAN. Hon. William D. Kelley, in Irs letter uceeptin.' the Republican nomination for re-election to Congress from the Fourth District of Pennsylvania, presents a concise statement of some of the great reforms instituted and successfully carried through by President Grant. Hesiiys: Seventeenth.—It would be supreme folly to put the new reforms out to nurse with a party which would strangle them. Many of the exquisite forms given to those beautiful specimen's of cartheru ware which form the service of our breakfast and our dinner tables, ir« not capable of being executed in tli3 lathe of the potter. The embossed orn imenty on the edges of the pi ites, their pnlver0- nal shape, the gilded surface of inanv of the vases, would all .be difficult and costly of execution by the hand ; but they become easy and uniform in all their parts, when made by press ng the soft material out of which they are formed, into a hard mould. The care and skill bestowed on the preparation of the mould are amply repaid by the multitude it produces. In many of the works of the China manufactory one part only of the article is moulded—the upper surface of a plate, for example, whilst tho upper side is figured by the lathe. In some instances, the handle, or only a few ornaments, are moulded, and the body of the work is turned. Another instance which may be cited in illustration of this peculiar kind of mechanical operation, is that of glass seals. A3 is well known, the process of engraving upon gems is one requiring considerable time and skill iu order to insure a perfect result. The seals thus produced can therefore never become common. Imitation s however, are made,of various degrees of resemblance, and these have extensively taken the place of tho genuine article. The color which is given to glass, is perhaps the most successful part of tho imitation. A small cylindrical rod of colored fljlass is heated in the flame of a blow pipe, until the extremity becomes soft.

To the record of General Grant I need not refer The American citizen who is not familiar with it is ignorant of the most thrilling chapters in the military history of bis country. Nor will the history of President Grant's first term be less memorable. Indeed, 1 can recall no administration with which, in its efforts to reduce the patronage and personal power of the Government and to secure the prosperity and lessen the burdens of the people, it does not compare most favorably. To appreciate the services it has rendered the Southern States by surpassing anarchy and restoring tliei** rights to outraged "carpet-baggers," "scalawags" and colored citizens in the Carolinas, Tennessee, Mississipi and elsewhere, one lias but to study the condition of Southern society, the temper and purposes of its dominant class, as reported by General now Senator Carl Schurz,to President Johnson who had commissioned him to investigate these subjects and report thereon, and to contrast the averments of his, report with 'lie temper that permitted a fail' election to proceed quietly last month in every county of North Carolina. Without force or violence the President has broken up the military organization known as the Ku lvlux. and secured to every citizen of each State the ability to enjoy all the privileges and immunities pertainable to American citizenship in eveiy State. What great and munificent results he has thus produced, the report of Gen. Schurz and the files of the New York Tribunt for the first half of August, 1S72, considered togethei, abundantly show. Security and order now prevail throughout the South, and, borrowing my words from the speech of Senator Schurz made in the Senate on the 19th of April, 18~iD. I say to the Liberal Republicans,as the malcontents style themselves, " Show me the dungeon in which a single man languishes for political offenses: show me the gallows upon which a single one expiated bis crime of treason ; show me the exiles in foreign countries who might not at this very moment return unmolested to their homes. Where are they?" No man can tell, for in enforcing the laws the President has but to quote the Senator again, "fulfilled his duty to protect the conquerors in the South against the evil spirit of the conquered." To illustrate the desire of the President to lessen the patronage of the Government and purge it of temptation to corrupt practices,reference need be had to but two branches of the service, viz., those of Indian Affairs and Internal Revenue. Has not the term Indian agency ever been the synonym of peculation and fraud? and have not the corruptions of the Indian Bureau been from time immemorial a stench in the nostrils of the nation? That such has been the case no well informed man will have the temerity to deny. Succeeding Administrations beheld the evil, but lacked the courage to grapple with so influential a branch of the patronage, or with so compact, wealthy, and potent a political agency as the ring of Indian contractors and agents. Not so was it with President Grant. He fears no human power so much as he doesthestingof conscience which, in his case, is sure to follow a dereliction from duty. In bis earliest manhood, while serving as a Lieutenant in the wilds of Oregon, lie saw thewrongs which have been habitually inflicted upon the Indians by those to whose cam they have been' confided by the Government, and became convinced that they too were men, who could be brought within the pale of society if they were treated with humanity and governed with justice. Whether these impressions were reasonable or Utopian, and whether n w that be is president, the young Lieutenant is not, regardless of patronage giving the Indian the benefit of them, we or Pennsylvania may learn from Felix Brunor, William Welsh and George H. Stuart. If the assurance of these uentlemen will not satisfy our doubts, we may appeal to the mahy religious .denominations whose agents, designated in compliance with the President's request, are to be found on almost every reservation, and who are training thousands of adult Indians in the arts of husbandry and housewifery. What admiiable arguments forGrant's re election weretheappealsin Philadelphia and New York of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail fur schools for the children of their tribes and churches for their people. Grant's Indian policy is a success which must lead to the abolition, at an early day, of the Indian Bureau, with all its patronageand corruptions, and the absorption into the political people of the country of the scattered remains of the once savage tribes who occupied it. In offering this assurance, I am not oblivious of the fact that Cochise and his band of lawless Apaches, who will not respect the treaties made by the chiefs of their tribes, are, by their ourages, courting condign punishment. But" this does not militate against my assertion, unless the existence of the gang of which Mara and Dougherty have been the sanguinary agents proves that American civilization is a failure. J)R. W.

I should now like, if the House will allow me, to say a few words on auother aspect of the subject, on which I have collected some statistic?, which, I am persuaded, will be found to be not without interest, and the effect of which will be to exhibit the most remarkablo evidence of national prosperity which the world ever saw. For this purpose I take the three periods in the present century —1825, 1850, and 1870-1—and apply certain tests of public prosperity to tlies# different periods. The total amount of funded and unfunded debt was in 1825, £800,83],408; in 1850, £787.029,162. and in 1879-1, £737,400,237. The total payments for interest, Ac., of debt, including terminable annuities were, in 1825, only ten years after the war was over, £30,205,268; in 1850, £28,207,533,and in 1870-1, £26,826,436. So that, at this period, when we are invited to stop our payment of debt and apply the money to the reduction of taxation or to the service of the year, we are actually paying nearly £1,000,000 annually less for the charge of the debt than in 1825."

This combination has been tiihanced in numbers by the desertion of » few disappointed, discontented and dilapidated men who acted with the Republican Party during the war, and a large majority of wbotn have been heavy weights upon the Republican Party ever since. I had, during the war, a slight personal experience which illustrates the course which these men pursued. All my comrades of Westeren Pennsylvania,Ohio and Indiana will remember that I was compelled by a sense of duty to arrest Mr. Yaliandigharn for treasonable conduct during the war.

I have taken the liberty of italicising a few words the better to emphasize the contrast between the results of forty-five years thus triuinphaatly presented and those of forty-one months of Presideut Graut's Administration. If the reduction of the British debt $309,906,155, and her interest account 820,1)00,000, in forty-five years, exhibits "the most remarkable evidence of national prosperity which the world ever saw," what must be the measure of our prosperity, as attest ed by the fact that, with constantly diminishing taxation, Grant's Administration has in forty-one months reduced the debt $330,226,350, and the interest account $22,000,000. In view of these exhibits the American people may well give heed to the adage, "Lot well enough alone." Opposite 3?liooiaix Hall, Pittston, Pa. Orders received at Messrs. Gregory A Snover.

Dr. A KNAPP. Feb. 8, 137? -!-U They have full and complete arrangements mads for the Mr. Yaliandigharn, and gave me the names of distinguished citizens who tolfl him that I had made a very serious mistake in making the arrest; that Mr. Yaliandigharn would be considered as a martyr, and that the political enemies of the Administration in Ohio would at "once make him their standard bearer as candidate for Governor, and elect him by an overwhelming majority. I represented to Mr. Lincoln that I was upon the ground and knew the situation better than these gentlemen, and that Mr. Yaliandigharn should not be released unless superior authority so ordered. Mr. Lincoln said to me that he would not interfere, but had simply given tho advice at the instance of prominent citizens, among whom were Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois. What was the re3nlt of Mr. Lincoln's declining to interfere, as he was urged to do by Mr. Trumbull and others. Mr. Yaliandigharn was put forward as the candidate, and was beaten by that gallant old war horse, Gov. Brough, by over one hundred thousand majority. Tho action of the people of Ohio at that time demonstrated their loyalty to the Government, and I doubt not that their action in the present campaign will be quite as strongly illustrated; I will not detain you, comrades, by discussing the political questions of the day. You will have them fully discussed by other people who are skilled in public dehate; besides I am quite satisfied that you are fully posted upon such topics. Men that have served in the field and staked their lifes and reputations upon an issue so important to your country, cannot approach a political canvass like the present without appreciating keenly the real issues of the contest. It will not be amiss for me, however, to say that I join you in the belief that Gen. Grant has been a gallant soldier; that he has done service to his country in the field, which cannot be over estimated; has conducted the affairs of the Government since he has been Chief Magistrate with great discretion and integrity, and has showed himself every way favorably disposed to peace at home and abroad, and entirely free from* personal self-seeking aggrandizement. We are here to express to the country our continued confidence in Gen. Grant and our purpose to elect him President for the second term. I am quite sure we do not make ourselves misunderstood to-day by expressing any ill feelings towards our late enemies in the field, because we have no such ill feelings, and we know that the hatchet is buried, and we are disposed to do all in our power to co-operate with the people in all sections of our land in forwarding the prosperity of our country ; but for rulers, comrades, let us select men who in the hour of their country 's peril were true. Let us, of all things, refuse our support to men who believe that there was right of secession.

On the 4th of March, 1869, when Grant was inaugurated, there were in the employ of the ofliee of Internal Revenues (1,277 persons, and the cost of assessing and collecting this branch of the revenue for the preceedlnotwelve months had bee-i $7, =592,177,72. Has heas President attempted to retain the power the continuance of this branch of the service would give him? Neither Summer nor Schuiz has had the effrontery to charge him with this for in each annual message he has expressed his desire for the rapid reduction of internal taxes,, and the earliest practicable abolition of the whole svs tem of taxation which requires the collector and assessor to dog the steps of the citizen. Treating with derision the teachings of those who would maintain this burdensome and inquisitorial system of taxes in order to relieve the foreigner who would compete iu our markets with the productions of our own laDorfrom paying anything for the privilege, he has persistently urged the maintenance of duties on foreign manufactures and the repeal of internal taxes. Fortunately the majority of Congress has been in accord with him on this point, and the internal tax system totters to its fall. I have no hesitation in predicting that it will be abolished before the expiration ot President Grant'B second term. On the 1st of January, 1S72, or in less than three years from his inauguration the number of employes in the service had been reduced from G,277 to 2 334 ■ and, by the act of June last, this number will be reduced fifty per cent, between the tirstof October and the close ot tne year.

By degrees tbe lightning beo ma less vivid, the frown relaxed, the gloom departed, and abroad smile illuminating his expensive face, assured you that the sun had broken through the clouds and the storm was over.

Conducted on the European Plan, in Luierne Conntv, all of which he is offering very low for cash Colobed Population of the United States.—The increase in then- gr D po - ulation of the Unit- d States, accordi g to the census, in the decade from 185( to 1SG0 was nineteen per cent, and iu ihe decade from 1S60 to was twelve j er cent, and but for the war during the latter period would have been at least fifteen per cent. Those states whose per cent. of gain has been less than these average rates have comparatively decreased in that population by emigration and those where the gain has been greater than the natural increase have enlarged it by immigration. From the geographical positions ol these respective States, it is evident that the flow of migration has been uniformly South and partly West. If this continues, as it probably .will, the negroes will monopolize Florida and Southwestern Texas, and as the white population presses on their heels, and to their exclusion from their present field of labor, they will eventually pour into Mexico and Central America. This pressure of the white race, to the displacement of the black, will probably ever and at least be in proportion to the preponderance of the former over the latter. aDd which in 1870, by the oensus of the above States and Territory, exclusive of Missouri and Delaware, was 7,760,988 whites to 4,398- 017 blacks. It will be increased by white immigration. N . J .
