WEDNESD AY, JANUARY 10, 18HG. t la Mr. Scward'a Tolicy at Vailance with ftLe Monroe lioctrinc? TnE Democratic journals are emplojinar that time which was formerly occupied with search ing the Constitution to discover the illegality of all the actions of the Administration, with reading up musty documents and quoting irom lorgotten Mato papers, to prove that the Monroe doctrine actually existed, and that It was and is a political principle in our national affairs. They make extracts from Jef eb son, Madison, and Calhoun, to prove that they favored the supremacy of republican institutions on this continent They ex hume forgotten letters, and level the battery of precedent against the course Secretary Seward In regard to the continuance of a monarchy in Mexico. The World and Express make eloquent ex tracts from the fathers of o ir system, to show their advocacy of a un'ted and free continent. We find that Mr. Jeffmisox, In 1808, says : "JFe consider their interests and ours as the same, and that the object of both must be ' to exclude all European influence from this hemisphere. We wish to avoid the necessity of going to war, till our revenue shall be en tirely liberated from debt. Then it will nuf fi.ee for war, without creating new debts or taxes." And In 1823: "Our first and fundamental ' maxim should be, necer to entangle ourselves in the broils of Europe. Our second, never to suffer Europe to intermeddle with els Atlantic affairs. America , North and South, has a set of interests distinct from those of ' Europe, and peculiarly her own. She should therefore have a system of her own, separate and apart from that of Europe." Such are fair samples of the quotations which fill two columns and a half of the World, and are bein? republished bodily in all the Democratic organs from Maine to Minnesota. There is nothing more improving ' to the style or more ennobling to the political tone of a paper than to refer t3 the utterances ofstatesmen, now passed from our midst, who '. are universally esteemed as patriotic, and without doubt tbe friends of the Monroe ' doctrine, conclusively proving that Monroe, Jeffekson, and Calhoun, all held the samo . opinions as themselves in regard to the tolera '. tion of a monarchy in America. We freely grant that this fully establishes this interesting . coincidence In sentiment, but what is their object in laying down this proposition? We all know before they commenced that the Mon , roe doctrine was supported by the fathers of the Constitution, as we know equally well that it is similarly received by all the people of America to day, always excepting an ex Governor of Ohio. The object the Democracy have in view is evidently exhibited in the declaration that " the columns of the Times faithfully reflect the insidious policy of Mr. Sewabd. Its purpose is to circumvent the popular determination, which it dares not meet, by pretending that the Empire will ' crumble to pieces of itself, and thus staving off action till the lapse of time shall have given the new Government a prescriptive right to continuance. It is by this sort of masterly inactivity' that Mr. Sewabd intended to g'.ve and, bad President Lincoln lived, would have given stability to the French-Austrian throne." The aim, therefore, of this exhuming of the Madison papers, and quotations from Jef febson's life, is to proTe that Mr. Sewabd is violating the fundamental principle of our Government in not going to war with Francs in order to drive Maximilian out of Mexico, '. The design is to create a belief that the policy of the Secretary is one to which all our traditions' and prejudices are opposed, one which would be injurious to the nation, and render most unpopular the Administration of , which he Is a member. The question per , tinently suggests itself, "Is. Mr. Sewabd's course of conduct at variance with the Mon roe doctrine?" The Democracy say It is: we maintain, on the contrary, it is only an enunciation of that grand principle, but so . toned down by discretion as to conserve the national good, yet maintain the maxim which . Las been officially affirmed since the opening of the century. The very extract from Jbf fekson which the World quotes, is a direct compliment to Mr. Seward's ' diplomacy. He says in 1808, distinctly, that "we want to avoid the necessity of going to war until our revenue is entirely liberated ' from debt and the necessity was avoided by just such a line of diplomacy as the Secretary of State is adopting to-day. We had no war In 1808, or for years afterwards; the doctrine of ''America for Americans" was only a theory until the commencement of Mr. Monboe's Administration, ten years after the date of Mr. Jeffebson's quoted letter. The United States, therefore, from motives of policy, refrained from enunciating the doctrine for a whole decade, because they bad a debt, a tax on their resources. And .yet the World quotes J effebson to show that Mr. Sewabd is derelict in his duty, false to his country, and recreant to our doctrine, tecaue within ten months after the conclusion of a civil war, wlih a debt ( over ten times that of Jeffebson's time, he does not Immediately precipitate our lard Into a war with a mighty foreign power, backed up by ti e sympathies ot England and Spain. And this is violating the Monroe doctrine! Ihis is falpity to the traditions of our people 1 It was juftt such taunts as the Democracy are ulteilng to-day that would have plunged our country, yet enfeebled, into a war in the dawn ot the nineteenth century, and it was Just euch "masterly inactivity" as the World sneers at that saved us then and will save us now. The statesmen of that day stood un moved, and we are thankful that we have a statesman now who will do likewise. It was the patilotlsm, wNdom, and skill of Jat, Madison, Jeffkrson, and their compeers that saved us then. It is the genius and fidelity of Seward that will carry us safe through now. The mind is as powerful as the sword ii it has but a lree scope for its skill, and diplomacy will yet avert many of those evils which are irremediable if we once enter upon a war. We, therefore, trust in Mr. Seward, confident that his skill will enable him, and his patriotism induce him, to mould all bis policy so that the best Interests of our country be advanced, and our principles acknowlcged without a reference to the fell arbitration of war. When all arguments have failed, it is not too lata to appeal to force ; until then, let reason govern rashness, and diplomatic skill do all it can to preserve our national power, et spare our national blood. New Jersey Redeemed. The two Houses of the New Jersey Legisla ture organized yesterday, and we are grati fied to announce that solid trustworthy Union men have been chosen to fill the various posi tions. Hon. James M. Scovel has been se lected to preside over the deliberations of the Senate, Mr. Scovel has made his mark in politics, and during our great war was one of the most ar lent supporters ot the Administration, and both by tongue and'pen labored earnestly in the good cause. He de serves the honors which are being bestowed upon him. All the officers elected are un questionably loyal, and wo may indulge the hope that New Jersey has seen the error of her ways, and having found tho good old way intends to walk therein. The Governor's Message is a model State" paper brief, and directly to the point. The finances of the State are in a good condition. The war debt is comparatively small, and will be reduced rapidly by incoming receipts. We congratu late our neighboring State upon being relieved from the odium of questionable loyalty, and tiust that it will no more bow the knee to the Baal of Southern slaveocracy. Obituary. Elijah F. Tubdy, one of the representative men of the New York Demo cracy, has recently died, and his funeral occurs to-day. Mr. Purdy was the head and front of Tammany, and for years past has con trolled the operations ot that influential politi cal body. It is but justice to his memory to say that, outside of his politicaf chicanery, ho was a moilcl man unselfish in his nature, and devoted to the interests of the city in which be resided. He was deeply interested in every benevolent object of New-York, and his death will be a loss to the poor of that city. Mr. Pubdy has held a number ot promi nent offices, the duties cf which he has always dhcharged most satisfactorily. Hi? most bit ter opponents never questioned his honesty and Integrity. During a long political career he has succeeded in retaining the respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. Be was an ardent supporter of the national cause during our late war, and devoted much of his time and means in alleviating the suf ferings of our soldiers in the field as well as to caring for their families at home. By his charities he bos endeared himself to many who will ever keep bis memory green. I Remember the Poor Acknowledgments.

The receipts of tho Government from Inter nal revenue during the past week reached nearly ten million dollars, making the total Income of tho National Treasury from this source since July 1, 1865, the commencement of the curreut fiscal yonr, somcthinff over $185,040,000. or a weekly average of nearly Reven million dollars. equal io a yearly aggregate of $354,000,000. The wasninfaon ctironicie, noticing the heavy re ceipts lost week, says: "The receipts irorn internal revenue during the past week have amounted to the enormous sura of nearly $10,0U0,O0O. This Increase over the exhibit of the previous week $t,679,7!G-G3 is owing to the eneigv with which the oillcers of the bureau have prosecuted their duties in .discovering ar ticles which have hitherto escaped taxation. One ot the greatest successes of the revenue is cotton. The tax paid on this commodity at Macou, Ga., during the last three months, amounted , to $450.01)0 representing a sale and diipment ot 50,000 bales, valued ut $13,000,000 In New York. It is expected that, for the months ol January, February, and March, the revenue lrom the same source at tne samo puce will reach nior than $5,000,000."

The receipts of hogs to-day were upwards of 20,000. The money for these hogs goes West daily to make further purchase", and if they continue to come in thus heavily, without a corresponding export of product eastward, our market will very speedily be drained of money; The rate of discount at the banks remains steady at 10 per cent, per annum; street rates are firm at 2 per cent per month." ' The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that canal boats duly enrolled auo licensed and the tonnage tax paid thereon are not liable to the Intei nal revenue tax; also, that "cars or crates, wagons, sleighs, or other vehicles coming Into the United States from a contiguous foreign country, loaded with barrels, pipes, or hogsi heads, or other casks, filled with flour or gruin of any kind, and bo packed as to b satisfac torily probed, may be impeded without being unloaded" The Boston Imports for the week ending January 6 were $074,293, against $187,459 during corresponding week In 1806.
