THE TARIFF AND DIRECT TAXES.
The rapid, but unavoidable, increase of the
expenditures of the federal government in
duces men to look with more interest to the
sources of federal revenue, than they have
for many years. Everything having relation
to the treasury and its replenishment, at
tracts the earnest attention of those who
have made political economy their study, as
well as those who have made more party pol-
Ries their trade
As usual, the Republican papers seek to
pass the Tariff issue to the damage of the
Democratic party, not knowing nor caring
what is the true policy for the nation. The
New York Herald flays—" If Free Trade is
the true doctrine, the revenue duties are as
impolitic, as unjust, as pr)tection."
The Democratic, party, having had the
control of the government for'fifty out of sixty
years,—having had to raise the money to pay
the expenses of the government in peace and
in war, will hardly be frightened from the
even tenor of its way by the petty taunts and
and more trifling logic of the Republican press.
The Democratic party has planted itself on
the only sure ground that a national party
ever can occupy—it does not adopt free trade
as the "true doctrine"--but it has unchang-
ingly held that a tariff for revenue, with in
cidental protection to our own industry, was
the proper policy for the federal government
Such has been the doctrine of the Democratic
party, and its practice has confirmed to it.
We do not think there is any such thing as
a purely Free Trade party—ready to abolish
all custom, and fall back upon direct taxes
for the expenses of the general government in
this country. Those who accept Free Trade
as correct in theory are by no means ready to
put it into practical effect, if they possessed
the power. The New York Economist, a com
mercial paper of great extent and influence,
thus reasons :—" When the question fur a
consolidated government is to raise money for
its 'support, there is no question, but direct
taxation is the true mode. But that is not
the case in the United States. The only
means of independent action of which the
federal governinent is possessed, is the right
to collect customs for its support. If it sun--
rendered this right, and came to depend upon
the States to furnish their quota for the federal
support, it would immediately, as the Tribune
admits, be at the mercy of the " higher law."
Massachusetts, for instance, dismissed an
upright and incorruptible judge from the
bench, because he administered the law as it
stood upon the statute book, and would not
truckle to the schemes of knavish politicians,
who, for the moment, abused the public ear.
How that federal government would fare it at
such a juncture, if it was compelled to ask
Massachusetts for her share of the national
expenses, requires no Solomon to determine.
Indeed, the recent difficulties that the army
bill before Congress encountered from the
bad men illustrates the matter very forcibly.
It results that the indirect taxes, bad as they
are, when compared with direct taxes, are yet
better than to deprive the federal government
of its independence of action."
Now the Economist is probably as much of
a Free Trade paper as there is anywhere, but
it purely admits that to abandon the collec
tion of customs, as the means to defray the
national expenses: would be to destroy the
independent action of the federal government,
and render it utterly helpless. Where is the
man who would seriously counsel a course of
policy that would result in this? We do not
find him among avowed Free Trade men.—
The desperate ranks of an opposition which
every ready to destroy a government they
cannot controLfurnish the only men who
would abolish all tariff and come to direct
taxation.
We will quote from the Economist a few
statistics, and some speculations about direct
taxation. "This question of taxation," con
tinues that paper, " is to be shortly settled in
another mode. The customs are paid only
by goods of which the portion consumed is
annually falling as the country progresses,
and will soon cease to compete with the na
tion's products. Thus of the' $63,000,000 of
duties obtained in 18,57, $13,000,000 depend
ed alone upon the failare of the Louisiana
crop, of the remainder $7,000,000 was lev-
led upon iron for railroads—a thing not like
%ly to happen again. Woolens and cotton
paid - $16 ; 000,000, and nothing has preserved
those articles:among the national imports but
the corporate system of manufacturing and
the duty on wool. The latter has been re
tnoved and the former has received its death
blow. The individual system of manufacture
will in this country soon destroy the market
for foreign goods, and add those features to
our exports. Cuba, sooner or later will come
into the Union, and sugari;vill,then yield no
customs. The whole ccuary-- - iVill have its
own supplies of raw produce, geld; :tropical,
productions, and manufacture every sari-'
ety of industry and every . variety of thr
ufacture, will then thrive
_better than at13'4 71
where else. The facts rioint ton stil-2 4 1
things when, by reason of the vast- re_venuei:
of the Union itself, its want of fcreigp. - -;,,l:
will be so small that no revenue can be 'Cle-d.
rived from their import. England is an exam-
p le-,
she has come to supply herself so thorough
- ly with manufacture that she imports none.
In 1842 an income tax was imposed of 3d in
the for three years, then to be repeated.
The tax has now grown to 7d. in the £, and
there is no hope of ever repealing it. In
184'2 it was £5,000,000, in 1856 .Z 14,000,000.
Her customers are $100,000,000 per annum.
This is derived altogether from raw tropical
products, sugar, coffee, tobacco, spirits, tea,
etc., articles which she cannot produce within
herself. The United States will soon reach
the positioa,of Great Britain in respect to its
independence of foreign manufacture ; but it
will also be independent of foreign produce
and materials. 'Where is the tax to fall? Will
the result be a direct tax levied by the officers
of a consolidated government.
It -is not likely that the generation soon
controlin the affairs of the country, will be
vexed with the closing question—but such
speculations are not unprofitable, in looking
at the revenue question and its immense effect
on the present welfare and future prospect of
our country.

Democratili, Attention

rial on Sunday morning as follows :
If it could be proven that there are half as
many people in as there are out of Kansas attend
ing to the political affairs of that territory, we
should have no hesitation in saying that the
point of numbers would be settled. All the
rest of the Union do not occupy a tenth part of
the attention that Is devoted by scavenger politi
cians to the affairs of Kansas. We are sick and
tired of such disgusting hypocrisy. It is the
very Bedlam of American politics. And who
are the men that conduct this work of perpetual
strife, and what aro the objects they seek to no ,
complish thereby? There is not a canting hyp
ocrite, an ambitious demagogue, or a trading
politician in this whole Union who does not regard
himself as specially commissioned to stir up and
fan the embers of discord and strife in that ter
ritory. They are the infidel race who would
crucify the ehristian democracy and discredit

Vagarico of a Money Maniac
The latest instance of this monomania (or
rather money-mania) has come to light within a
few dayr.lt An individual who calls himself John
J. Acton, and who represents himself as having
recently returned from California, where -,he
made a mint of money, has been gladdening the
the hearts of a good many business men, on
ly to sadden them more when they learned how
egregiously they had been dupcd. The story
he told was that hav in made his " pile, " he
had detemined to settle down at Lancaster, and
that he had built a house there whidh had cost
the snug little sum of $165,000. This house
had to be furnished, and this necessary work
had to be done on a scale of imperial liberality,
worthy of the cost of the mansion. Philadelphia
storekeepers were to furnish the articles of luxu
ry and taste to fit out the Lancaster palace. Mr.
George H. Henkels, the well-known cabinet ma
ker, was called upon to supply the cabinet fur•
niture, and Mr. Acton proceeded to select ele
gant articles of mahogany, walnut, rosewood
and oak. to stock themansion with the needful
chairs, sofas, bedsteade, bureaus, &c. The bill
ran np at Mr. Henkel's store was worth $lO,OOO
and as the terms were to be cash on the delivery
of the goods, Mr. Henkel was made a happy
man.
Curtains were indispensiple'to the proper fur
nishing of a splendid mansion, and with a die
crimirltion that did not much indicate insanity,
oar imaginary millionaire proceeded to the es
tablishment of W. H. Carryl & Brother, in the
Masonic Hall, and he was Boon deep in the mys
tery of brocade, brocatelle, moreen, lace curtains,
and the numerous other elegant devices to make
the interior of houses splendid and comfortable.
No less than $6,000 worth of goods of this de
scription were seleoted at the store of Messrs.
Carry', and they, too, rejoiced greatly at the
cash sale they had made. Mr. E. W. Carryl,
also came in for a share of the favors of the lib
eral splendor of money; and silver plated ware,
housekeeping articles, &0., in hie line, was se
lected to the tune of $5,000, Mr. A. keeping
Mr. C. up till midnight making his selections
Then came carpets, and $2,000 worth of these
needful luxuries were laid out. Paper hangings
to the tune of $1,500 were also chosen. Oar
Lucullus had no notion of an empty cellar, so he
ordered $l,OOO worth of ale, which was to be
sent to his Lancasterian abode.
We have heard of a great number of smaller
purchases made by Mr. Acton, but in no case
did he obtain, or endeavor to obtain, possession
of the articles bought, proving that he had no
thought of dishonesty. Our money maniac did
not confine himself to the purchase of merchan
dise, for he waTiti treaty for the purchase for
$43,000, of a mansion, on Broad street; a fine
property on Chestnut street he was to pay
$26,000 for, he had bought out a large board
yard, was to subscribe $600,000 toward the new
hotel on Chestnut steet, and we presume that by
this time he is in treaty to buy out all the stook
of the submarine telegraph.
Border Wolfer* on the Ohto.
A year ago an old man named Bell, and his
son, living in this State opposite Brandenburg,
were suspected by the citizens of Meade county,
"Kentucky of being privy to, or abettors of, fu
gitive slaves. They were watched and found to
be in communication with some free negroee in
the interior of the State, whose visits to Bell's
house led to the subsequent proceedings. Bell
and his son were decoyed one night down to the
river and within the jurisdiction of Kentucky,
where they were : arrested on a warrant from a
Kentucky magistrate on a charge of aiding the
escape of slaves, and taken to Meade county,
and lodged in the Brandenburg jail, where they
_have remained for nearly a year—their proseou
,ters not being prepared for trial,
: Two eons of Bell returnedm California re
a r
ntly, found that their fath r and brother, as
j eely glege, had been kidnapped and carried to
.feeeienjurisdhltion, and held for twelve months,
-eeerSee., • ;believed on a false charge. On 'nurs
_ ,
day la,: .here was a barbecue at Garnettsville,
Meade eiety, - to which most of the citizens of
-Brandeeteure went in a crowd, and among them
rhr lailn;^ who- lefties wife and a lad, the only
beeper of the jail. Between one and two
ceelocle in the afternoon, the two California
Bells landed at Brandenburg, and proceeded to
the jail, three hundred yards from the shore, and
denianded the keys to the cells. The jailer's
wife and the lad were so intimidated by threats,
that they allowed the Bells to take them. They
immediately released their father and brother,
and planing a pair of revolvers in the hands of
each, the echele party escaped from the jail.
An alarm being given, several °Weeps armed
themselves and followed the Bells to the leading
and fired upon them. The Bells returned the
shots and kept the crowd of pursuers at bay, till
they had secured their skiff and a safe passage
across the river. No -Vie, we believe, was
wounded by the firing; bit the rescue has caus
ed a great deal of indignation on the Kentucky
shore, and some little exultation among Bell's
neighbors on the Indiana side.
The Bells were on Saturday last at their farm,
opposite Brandenburg, and they say that they
will remain there, defying the whole of Meade
county, Ky., to take them. Two of the Bells
have worked in the ship yards at New Albany,
and are known and respected by many of the
citizens of that place. It is an affair that may
lead to noleasant consequences.
—The body of a German was found a few

charged pistol lying beside it. The Coroner held

ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL.
GRAND CEREMONY OF LAYING THE

SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE ON THE GROUND.

and Religious Societies.

Subscriber*, Two of them Protestants.
COLLECTIONS AT THE CORNER STONE
Under the above caption the New York
Herald devotes several columns to a descrip
tion of the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York,
on Sunday last, August 15th, and says :
One of the grandest ceremonies that was ever
wituelised on this continent was that which took
place yesterday, in connection with the laying
of the corner stone of the now St. Patrick's
Cathedral, between Fif•let acd Fifty..first
streets and Fourth and Fifth avenues. From
two o'clock onward, all the avenues from Second
to Sixth, presented a processioa,l appearance,
from the dense crowds ti of kept continually
pouring up toward the site of tho now edifice,—
It appeared as if one-fourth of the population
of New York wore promenaaing iu that direo•
tion.
The site of the church presented quite a gala
day appearance. The flags—if not of all na
tions, at least of quite a respectable number of
nations—were streaming from ".11 sides of the
square. In the centre was a fine two story plat
form,
elaborately decorated with bunting—the
lower portion occupied by au excellent baud, and
the upper portion reserved for the bishops, some
of the clergy and members of the press.
The roofs and windows of the Catholic Orphan
Asylum, the building now used as Columbia
College, and of all the other buildings, both pub
lic and private, that commanded a view of the
place, were filled. with spectators. As for the
square itself, bounded as we havo described, it
was literally packed. The only marvel was,
how the women, who constituted fully one-half
of the attendanoe, managed to endure the pres
stare to which they were subjected. As it was,
there was many a shriek and exclamation, but
we have not heard that any person was injured.
The old poplar trees about the neighborhood
were as densely populated as any rookery ever
was; and every now and then a limb would give
way with its weight, adding to to the sprightli
ness and excitement of the scene. Some people
estimated the multitude at from a hand ed to a
hundred and fifty thousand ; but that was an ex
aggeration. There were at all events, at the
lowest computation, sixty thousand people pres
ent. It was the largest assemblage our reporter
ever saw in this city. It was more than love of
show that brought such an aesembdt , ge; it was,
above all, respect for religion and the old feel
ing of reverecce fur the Patron Saint of Ire-
Lad
The platform seemed to be in about tho cen
Ire of this immense gathering. L:oking ast
wardly from it, it had in its immediate front a
large wooden cro3s painted white, occupying the
spot where the altar of the cathedral is to nand.
Still further in front of that floated the green
flag of Eric, bordered with shamrocks and with
the golden harp in the centre. It was flanked
on either side by the Austrian flag and by a tri •
color, the nationality of which our reporter was
unable to learn. The Irish flag seemed to be as
much a rallying poiut as tl9 space immediately
in front of the spot whence the sermon was to
be delivered. One of the managers of the cer
emony, Mr. O'Donnell, a gentleman to whom
oar reporter was much indebted for civilities,
mentioned to a policeman that he was afraid this
flag might be torn or injured, and asked him to
see it and take care The ofricor, whose Mile •
Sian blood took bra at the idea, hastened to the
spot ; saying that he would like to see the man
who would tear tht'it flag. This wale a mere in
cident b f the day.
Looking southwardly from the platform fluted
the French tri-color, end en the north the Urit
it,l3. The Amorican nag floated at half a dozen
points.
On the southwest point there. was a platform
set up covering iu the corner stone. It, too,
wrs decorated with the stars and stripes, and
draped with the pontifical flag.
The editor in speaking of the progress of
the Catholic ChurA in the Nnited States
says: There arc, however, ,thpr I ,,,tent
causes that have operated to the same eud.
Catholicism has been the groat conservative
religion or the United States. The Catholic
church will not tolerate any innovation—it
crushes out all heresies, and is the foe toevery
thing in the shape of " isms." Abolitionism
and spiritualism it utterly discountenances.
Its confessional system enables to detect and
weed out the first traces of doubt or infidelity
in the minds of its subjects : and hence it is
not liable to those defections which break up
all other churches into such infinitestimal
parts. Thus while the Methodist, Baptist, and
other churches, have broken to pieces, on the
slavery question, the Catholics have stood
aloof and avoided danger, and hence their
church presents today that wonderful growth
which we have described."
The sermon of Archbishop Hughes, is
given in full, we make the following extract:
Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in
vain that build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city, he watoheth in
vain that keepeth it.—Ps. 126, vs. 1 and 2.
Then turning round to the bishops and olergy
on the platform he said:—
VENERABLE FATHERS AND BISHOPS—I need
not say how deeply grateful to you for the honor
of your presence oe this solemn and important
occasion. I have not been insensible to this
hour, nor ignorant of the inconveniences which
you have inourred, by leaving, even for a brief
period, the devoted flocks that look up to you re
spectively, as to their highest local fathers and
pastors. To you, also, dearly beloved and most
respected priests of my diocese, but, if possible,
still more to those who have come from other
Bpisooaal jurisdictions, I return the thanks of a
true and grateful heart for your presence this
day.
Then facing the immense multitude to the
westward, he said—
To the faithful of my own diocese, who, in the
main, and constitute the vast assemblage of
persons actually surrounding the corner scone
of our new cathedral, I need not say that I am
grateful; that they know already, for It is not
the first time that I have called upon them ; but
if they had cot responded in such numbers as
they have done, it would be the first time they
had failed me. This they have never done, and
this I am sure they never willdo, when any great
work is to be commenced or completed for the
glory of God and the salvation of men. And I
now have to return in an especial manner my
grateful thanks to those who have filled up my
list of expectation, which when announced in a
circular letter addressed to a limited number,
might have been looked upon as a bold if not
a daring proposal. But the manner in which
they have responded to it, has filled me with
setonieliment., proving, as that in general
the faithful in thair,coal ankgeneresity for any
thing appertaining-to the gory of-. God and the
fotwarding of religion, are, if. possible,
vance even of the pastors vr.ittf God hae ap
pointed over them. In the histftof the Cath
olic 'church ' during 1800 years,; `the truth 'of
what I haveinst remarked has not, in my opinion,
been brought out mere clearly or More promptly
than in the response which I have received from
those to whom I had the honor of addressing a
circular letter, dated June 14, 1858.

The Attach on the Chinese Forts..Thrlll.
tug Account by an AMCriefttl.
A correspondent of tho Philadelphia Ledger,
writiug from Chia', F•ivtiq thrilling account of
the capture of the PenLio Forts by the floglish
and French. Liter etaung, that the Eoglieh
steamer Cormorant, Capt. Saumarez, was ordered
o open the battle, the writer proceeds:
As the ei,ru,c,rant steamed up against the
haweer, it parted like a length of packthread,
and gev tne signal of battle to the Fcrts.—
Their earthen sides tit once belched forth iron
anti flame, tearing the water in scores of planes
and hulling the advancing steamer on the port
side. " Flat down at your guns," cried the in
trepid Satimarez. An•d s.t the command ever 7
man cast himself Hat upon the steamer's deck,
and allowed the iron. shower to pass on its way.
He himsrlf, livvev.. , irairitioutly the ale
vsted thu tt,e.vs math.. is, directed the
mcu at the Rut_c-, examined the f.,r9, threngh his
glass, aid listened to tiny hail from his st.iling
master, who aleo walked along the foreec,tle.—
The iron shower pas succeeded by a second and
a third—finally the diet:harp was almost contin
uous. LAM the steamer moved steadily ahead
dark, b i lent, mutilated—but threatening as a
sleeping volcano. At lenFth we see her arrive in
front of the filth fur:, and at the same instant
we 1300 aeinnol fitiLtertlig from the maet head of
the gunh , ,at or the two amirals. It is the "part
ing of the hawser" of the allies ; the emblem of
war; the longed r sig,ral fir the bursting; of the
volcano. Btmerssive t.ed drneo volumcs of smoke
now burst from the stlet3 of the arrested steam-
or, envelope her in a surging cloud, and hide
from view the furious working of the guns which
succeed. The rapi 1 and heavy charges pre
ceded by lurid tle.shes ilitne and followed by
clouds of dust and signs of disorder in 11,e fort,
tell plainly enough, however, of the work of
death that is under way. The bombardment is
now general and has lasted for an hour or more.
Still the Chinese - hang bravely by their guns,
urged to courage by their mandarins, who,
strange to say, aro nut, in this case, the first to
run. Some bold mattteavre must therefore be
resorted to, for many of the steamers have been
badly hulled, and many valuable lives already
lost. There it goeti! another flattering signal
from the gun boat of the admiral. That signal
means—" away there stormers and scale the
forts!" One would think that it was written in
large letters, instead of being indicated by flags,
so quickly is it obeyed. A hundred boats are
suddenly urged toward the river's sides and eigh
teen hundred men leap into the mud and clam
ber up the broken banks Then, with leveled
bayonets and heavy tramp, they press forward
their solid masses upon, into' through the yawn
ing embrasures. The foe c - .a stand it no longer—
even the Mantehoi Tartar shrinks before such a
threatening front of advancing steel, end deserts
his guns fAt a tumultuous ti.ght. So lung as
the allies were ifl the middle of the river he
could brave the danger of the exploding shells but
as soon as they neared him so steadily with their
bristling front—being naturally a ticklish man
—he takes up a hurried flight. The whole 10,-
000 who had gams( tied the fort were in full re
treat. In vidu the heave the old Mandarias
(something that they have uver done bcfore)
throw thetnsolvel in their way ; blows, curse:,
entreaties, aura no longer of any avail. Fear
has overcome authority ; discipline is at as end
and victory declares for the allies aft'r n gtrug,

Sisters of Mercy, who, d. v.-tod to the cause of
Go& have left fathers and mothers, sisters and
brothers, fortunes and worl3ly comforts, and
all those endearing tics of life, to bestow them
selves heroically cm this Oct of mercy—this act
of charity. duch being the character of this in
stitution, it is but reasonable that it should lay
claim to the general charity of all classes, wheth
er rioh or poor, catholic or protest - rtnt Of late,
from the monetary crisis and univriaal stagna
tion of business, it Las, no .I.7.ubt, suffered such ;
but it has, nevertheless, continued, and does yet,
to throw open the doors to the poor and suffering
sick, depending on the protection of Him, who
clothes the lilies of the field and feeds the fowls
of the air. He, we trust, will inspire into the
hearts of those on whom ho has particularly be
stowed his wealth, to come forward and liberally
give to the poor of this institution also, some pert
of what they received. Per this He promises a
reward, "as often as you do it to one of these
you do it to me." And, if a glass of cold water,
given in the name of Christ, will have Its reward,
how much more reason is the-re to believe that
much greater will be the reward of those who
contribute to the support of an institution, found
ed on the principle of charity which Christ him
self came on earth to enkindle. God is true to
his promises. He saye Ho will reward those who
are liberal, and He will infallibly do so. It is
the design and decree of God, iu the bestowal of
his wealth, that the affluence of the rich shall
supply the necessities of the poor, and thus the
superfluities of those 'who abound will keep up
the deficiency of those who want, just as clouds
give moisture to the deserts, or as dews refresh
the dry and barren soils. Their riches aro in
tended for the benefit of the poor precisely as
the authority of the prince is intended for the
benefit of his subjects. In short, the rich man,
according to. the decrees of the eternal wisdom, is
the more agent of the divine benificence ; hold
ing not a gift, but a trust; not a present, but a
deposit; not a property, but a loan. So dear to
the divine benevolence, and so vitally important
to mankind is the regulation in favor of the poor
sick, that in order to enforce and secure its ob
servance, it:has pleased the wisdom of its author
to establielta variety of laws stamped ou nature—
laws clear and urgent , almost as the regulation
itself, and sacred, like it, to reason. Indeed, the
circumstance is evident, that if God do decree,
that men shall mutually assist and console each
other, He willVof course, establish laws to urge
and compel them to do . so.. ~.This is the obvious
result of the nature of things.
Now, amongst the 'various , laws some of the
most forcible, you arc aware of it, are more
feelings of compassions, more instincts of gene
rosity, more impulses of.love which men natu
rally and spontaneously experience for each
other. Children of the same parent, and con
sequently brothers; 'we bring with us into life
imposed by e that han'd which formed us, those
principles which tie us teeesch other, which make
us feel for each other's interests, and which rsn•
der individual obrnfo * rt the . result of, general
happiness. Above all, the law of compassion is
moat deeply,w,ritten upon the tablets of the heart.
Interwoven with Our nature, it forms an insone
rable part - oroni constituticn.v Not a; nation,
however barliaiolls, but'reveres it ; not a scot,
however prOinliced, but respects it. Paganism'
itself, and the unenlightened of savages
pay homagap its - sanctity. In fact, you can no
where find tiv!in - the solitary individual who is
not affiietode.at the sight of misery, and urged,
spite of hinatielf, of his passioce and prejudices,
to afford the s tinhappy sufferer some relief.
This institution has happily the attentlatice of
the most enduent and efficient physicians in
town, who generously and charitably . .render it
the most unsaleable services ; -and to them we K
render our nee n) thanks, trusting that in
.a
better woridlthey will - .receive their reward, a
reward'that •neither rnet ; or moth eau consume
nor thieves steal away.."
