was under protection. he said. and was

to dtscusa a trtfltng quantity olcontraband

prized dry ham. which we seasoned with
mustanl taken lrom an nld powder horn,

we lell asleep. I slept nne hour,'abuut, to
be awakened by the Frenchman. who u

Either mosquitoes were unusually large
and energetic. or somebody was indulging
in camp jokes. lthnught. and I lay awake,
but perleetly still. Presently [saw a fig
ure leeling around a train wagon opposite
my feet. and making headway atealthily.
It may be Rough and Ready. or some oth

right arm in the twinkle of an eye.

‘ Who the devil al‘e you, and what are
you doing here?’ I interrogated angrily.
' 0h !' replied the individual. in the bro

priest malte use ul—-—‘ it is me. I am a
bout my own business.’
I was overcome by astonishment. De
taining him. I rehearsed to him a miracu
lous likeness I had seen of him in dtllerent
characters.
‘ That is not tvonderl'ul.’ he replted,
with an air of the utmostdisembarrssstnent;
-“ there are three brothers of us who look
altlte. One is little better than a lepere—
him you saw as an assassin. and another
lives on his hacienda near Marin. It might
have been him with tlto soldiers. He does
those things sometimes.’

there was evidently something wtoug; but
the priest was there under the protection at
those who knew and would do their duty.

night!’ retired again to the grass and hlan
ket. Between that time and sunrise no.
body complained ol ‘ gallinipers.’
I saw no more of the priest [or some days.

The lime was up, and we undid the (as

lulfilmeut of the object of their appoint

present condition oi the country. and to
call your attention to the importance 'ot
the approaching election. .
Never at any period since the com

at large, and especially the Democratic
party had more cause to {congratulate
each other upon the progress of tree prin

tendingtho happiness 0! man. The peo
ple of these United States are all, without
respect to party or sect, in the lull and
peaceful enjoyment ol the most enlarged
civil and religious rights, which are not
only secured by constitutional provisions.
but by that which is much stronger. the
good sense and sound judgment of an en
lightened and liberal community. It also
gives us unleigned pleasure tojoin in con
gratulations upon the general prosperity
which pervades all the business anti pecu
niary relations of the people. Notwith
standing the predictions of our leading
Federal opponents ol the ruin'an‘d desola
tion which was to lollow the election of
the Democratic candidates in 1844, our
prosperity has been onward ever since,
and at no period ot our existence as a peov
pie, have all the departments at industry
~agricultural, mechanical, commercial
and manufacturing. been in a more heal
thy ai‘td prosperous condition, and labor
more in demand at lair rates 0! compensa
tion than at the present time. It is when
labor commands its just reward that an
honest and industrious community is al
ways the most happy.
This condition ol things wehave reason
to believe rests on a substantial basis, and
is the result. in a great degree. of a sound
and liberal system at policy loonded upon
just principles of commercial intercourse
and reciprocity, in connexion with a con
atilutional s) stem oi finance on the part of
the general government. calculated to pre
vent excessive issues of paper money. and
to maintain a sound currency. 4
Our Federal friends. however. would
have you believe that all our present pros
perity results lrnm the scarcity of provis
ions in Europe. and the consequent high
prices in this country. That thevscarcity
in Europe of breadstuffs has tended to
raise prices in this country. we will not
deny. Every man of common sense knows
that to be a fact. But every person of
intelligence and candor is also bound in
admit that the reduction of the duties on
our flour and grain in the English ports,
with the modification of our,own land on
their productions. ts calculated to column
the trade between the two countries. and
increase the export of our grain and flour
permanently; and as this will Increase the
lability at our citizens to purchase and con
lsurae manufactures. it will add lothc pros
perity of every branch of industry in the
{country In regard to the iron and cost
interests. they will be especially benefit

roads to carry the products of agriculture

enlarged internal as well as external com

manutactures as so well established that
Iwith moderate but certain duties properly
larraaged they can withstand the competi
tion ot the world; and in this opinion we
are confirmed by the judgment cl practi
cal men who are engaged in enlarging old.
and building new establishments under
the present tarifl. without any reasonable
hope at immediate change.
