SDauocrat & 0tnttnd. C 1. HIRRAY, Editor. D. V. ZA1I3I, l'ubllsber. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1859. OUR NEIGHBOR AGAIN. We regret that we are under the necessity of continuing the controversy that has been going on for seme time between the Editor of the Mountains and ourself; We knew there are subjects more vorthv of our consideration, and that oar neighbor' twaddle is unworthy of a moment's attention; however, lest he might feel hurt if we failed to notice his last article, we will endeavor to return a satisfactory answer to his important interrogatory: "Do vou consider a Democrat who opposes nominations fairly made a traitor to his party?" But before proceeding to do so. we may remark that we do not admit that our manhood is at stake, or that our reputa tion depends on the answer we give. We merely answer for the purpose of relieving our neighbor's anxiety of mind on the subject. Our neighbor, doubtless, charges us with being a wriggler because he is one himself. When we occupy both sides of a political question in the short space of three months, as he did recently, we will agree to be called a wriggler, tut not until then. But to the Interrogatory. We consider then, dear sir, that it is the duty of every true Democrat to support the regular nominees of the party at the ballot box : provided always, necerttdess, that the nom inees are honest men and sincere Democrats. If a Democratic convention should chance to nomi nate a maa for office whom we felt firmly con vinced was not a Democrat, we would not feel it to be our duty to vote for him; nor would we feel bound to endorse a nomination secured through fraud and corruption. The word traitor is cer tain!y what may be called "strong language," and we have no disposition o apply it to those of our neighbors and friends, who, while professing to be Democrats, have time and again opposed regular nominees of the Democratic party at the ballot box. We say that the Democrat who op poses a regularly and fairly nominated candidate of the Democratic party, if he believes that the candidate is a Democrat and an honest man, is not performing his duty to the party to which he belongs. Our neighbor acknowledges that a number of his political friends have, at various times, opposed the regular nominations of the Democratie party, and then asks, "what of it V Why, there Is this of it, neighbor; according to your logic they are all traitors ! And areyoo wil ling to denounce as traitors your political friends and favorites? If you are not, why, then, do you denounce the men who oppo scd the nominees of the party last year as traitors, and allow the men who did the same thing in years previous to that time to go unrebuked ? If the Democrats who opposed James Myers in 185$ acted the part of traitors, did not also the Democrats who opposed the nominees of the party in 1848, 1850, 1851, or 1854, act an equally treasonable and treacher ous part ? You say that you "do not hold any man n sponsible for tlie acts of others, unless he endorses their conduct." Then of course it is perfectly right and proper fur a sincere Democrat to recognize traitors as his political favorites, and support them for office. Will Mr. Noon be kind enough to answer the following questions : If the next Democratic Cunnty Convention should chance to place in nomination for office a man who opposed a regularly nominated candidate of the paityiul858, 1854, 185! or 1848, would you vote for him ? Do you wish to read out of the Democratic party every member of it who, in 1858 or previous to that time, opposed a rcg ulariy nominated candidate of the party ? These are plain questions, and they demand plain an swers J and remember, good neighbor, if you find the hoot fastened in your gills we want no wrig gling. We sincerely regret the result of the election last fall, but are willing fur the sake of the party, that the "dead past, shall bury its dead." We wish to sc Union and Harmony return to our ranks once more. We care more about measures than men, and are not willing that the democrat ic party shall be offered np as a sacrifice, to ap pease the wrath of disappointed aspirants for office. Head every democrat out of the party, who voted against Porter Frost last fall, and where would the party in this State be? In a hopeless minority. Exclude every Democrat from the party who voted against Bigler for Gov ernor in 1854 and the party would be in a worse condition Hill. Many, very many democrats even in tbia Csunty, have at sometime or other daring their lives, voted against a regularly nom inated candidate of the par ty.' Must they in con sequence be treated as TraiMr. and driven out of the party. Even Mr. Noon, notwithstanding his pure End immaculate, democracy, a few years ago was among the first to lend a helping hand In the work of defeating John W. Forney the regularly nominated candidate of the Democracy for United States Senator. "Art thou too fal len Iberia? ' As we always regard low and scurrilous false hoods concerning us with contempt, our neigh bor is welcome to call us a slave, Hessian sTnd other hard names until he has fully "digested the venom of his spleen." Of one thing we are very certarn; we never published ourselves to the world as the Proprietor of a newspaper, when we were not; can our neighbor say the same thing? Our neignoor e?ms "vexed" became wo 1 times ealled Lis particular friend, Fobxkt, aren- 5goe. we regard Lira as a renegede, because we are firmly believe that he is endeavoring io disorganize and destroy the Democratic Party in the Northern States, and annex it to the flick Republican organization. But of course we may be misUken in our views with regard to him. We do not ask any on to endorse our views only B0 far 88 we PT aart facts to sustain them. This thing of reading tlw5 p icnj do very well 1n theory as a suhject for fire side talk, but it wont aijswei in practice, as our neighbor will probaUy ere long discover. At the present tirxe, it is certainly more commendable to be engaged in the work of reading men into, instead of out of the party. At the same time we should guard well our cherished principles, and steadily resist all efforts, come from whatever quarter they may, to infuse into them tho trea sonable doctrines of the Black Republican Tarty. When John "W. Forney & co. cease attempting to do this, let them be recognized as members of the Democratic Tarty, and the enemies of Sectionalism. Teacher's Institute. The proceedings of the Teacher's Institute re cently held in this place, will be found on the first page of our paper this week. In conse quence of the shape in which they are published, we hardly like to recommend them to the peru sal of our readers. They contain numerous blunders and errors of the worst kind, so that it is almost impossible to make any thing out of them. We deem it nothing more than an act of justice to state, that according to the statement ot the secretaries, no blame can be annexed to them for the manner in which the proceedinge are published. They inform us. that immedi atcly after the adjournment of the Institute, they handed their "rough notes" of the proceedings to a gentleman who promised to prepare them for publication. This however he did not A,. although well qualified for the task, but handed over the proceedings as he received them from the Secretaries for publication : entertaining no doubt that they were "all right," we handed them to the compositors, and did not discover the condition they were in, until the proof sheets we laid before us. It was then too late to reme dy the evil. This is all we have to say on the subject. W It affords us much pleasure to be able to state that Messrs. Henry Ely and Edward D. Evans intend opening a Select School in this place as soon as they have obtained a sufficient Dumber of pupils to justify them in so doing. It is unnecessary for us to eav anything in their praise. They are both professional teachers, and devote all their time and attention to the delightful taA- f teaching the young idea how to shoot." They merit patronage. We have sreoared and will publish next week an article giving an account of the examination at the Union School this week. We have not room for if. publication in the present number of our paper. 35 pays for a Course of lustrucsion at the Iron City College of Pittsbtrg, Pa.

Mr. Washburne of Maine, one of the lead ing and most noted Republicans in the House of Representatives, in his late violent and sectional speech, passed the following com pliment to the Democratic party. He said: ."Let us Mr. Chairman, learn wisdom from our opponents. Look at the Democratic party and note its policy. It has held pos session of the Government, with short inter ruptions, for more than a quarter of a cen ury; just because it has always been earnest ami has dared to trust itself. It has never paid court to its opponents, or stooped to speculate npou their weakness and divisions; always bold and uncompromising, it ha? never doubted its own sufficiency and invin cibility "and so it has forever been a mighty power in the land." Mr. Washburne, with all his bitterness against it, had to confess that no other polit ical organixation stood by its principles so bravely and unflinchingly as the Democratic party.

A great deal has been said recently by the op position press, about the condition of our Nation al Treasuaryr and no doubt not many of our rea ders are anxious for information on the subject. As the following letter which we clip from the Pensylvanians contains a condensed but very in teresting statement of the facts bearing on the subject, we lay it before our readers, and rec ommend it to to their perusal. It will be seen that Secretary Cobb recommend a? modification of the Tariff, as one of the means of increasinc the revenue. If this is done m the maoaer rec ommended by the President in his ' annual mes sage.' we have no doubt sufficient Tevenue will be obtained to meet the expenditures of the gov ernment. The TaruT on Coal and Iron, should certainly be immediately increased. We hardlv feel prepared to endorse the recommendation, that the rate of postage should bo increased. We think it is high enough at present. The Tariff in our opinion is the "great matter," aud should at once command the serious attention of Con gress. But we fear nothing will be done during the preeent session. ; . Washington, Feb. 3, 1859. . The Secretary of the Treasuary sent to the House, to-day, a reply to the resolution passed by that body, calling for the actual and proba ble receipts fiom customs public lands and other sources, for this and he next fiscal year, and for his opinion whether the said receipts will be ade quate to meet the public expenditures. He says the receipts fur the first quarter of the present fiscal year, ending SeptembeiLj. were nearly twenty-five millions two huyred and thirty-one thousand dollars, ($25,231,000) as stated in his Annual Report Tho receipts for the remaining three quarters were estimated at thirty-eight minions, five hundred thousend, ($38,500,000,) of which sum thirty seven mil lions (370,00,000,) were estimated to be derivid from tho Customs. It was believed that the quarter ending December last would yield ten millions, ($10,000,000) the present quarter end ing 31st of March fifteen millions ttF. nnn non and the next quarter ending the 30th of June twelve million? ($12,000,000). In refference not only to c ustoms, but to the public lands and other sources of r.vBm, n information which has been received at the De partment since his annual report, confirms the correctness of tho estimate r.f ti for the present and the next fiscal year. He is mereiore oi me opinion that the result will show that the actual receints fur tViA rcmnir.inir nnor- tera of the present snd for tho next fiscal year, will not vary materially from the estimates al ready Fiihmif in n.inMoa ' Tn . -e . v : -j . uvugiLon.-. xu oUL-pJ V UUV An 1. . : I. - . T - . Iwjumvu, ucBuimma a comparison at tner receipts for tne same quarters of the two preceding years. JJunng he hscal year onding the 30th of June 1857, the importations were very heavy, amount ing iu dutiable goods, exclusive of those expojted to over two hundred and ninety-four millions of dollars, (294,000,000,) and the receipts from the customs for that year were sixty-three millions three hundred and forty eight thousand dollars, ($63,348,000.) In the fiscal year ending June 1858, the importations were much reduced, amounting in dutiable goods, exclusive of those exported, to two hundred and two millions dol lars ($202,000,000,) ard the receipts from the customs for that year, were forty-two '.millions and forty six thousand dollars. (42,046,000,) To realize his estimates, the importation of- dutible goods for the present fiscal year must reach two hundred and fifty-millions, $250,000,000) besides those exported, and for the next fiscal year. Die sum of two hundred and eighty millions, (230. 000,000. , - Comparing the foregoing statement of receipts, and looking to a favorable and he?rWition in business, he should regard it as UWfa and unwise to calculate upon a larger importation than the present estimates contemplate; and en tertaining these opinions, he is compelled to say that the receipts will not be adequate to the necessity of public exigencies, unless the expen ditures should be reduced below the amount estimated for. He has seen no indications that would induce the opinion that such a result can be reasonably anticipate.!. On the contrary, bhould the bills which have been passed by either the one or the other branch of Congress be finally passed by both, and become laws, the expendi tures would be very largely and permanently in creased. It is estimated that the Pension bill alone, which has t.issel t.b lTmo ,m .u - 9 VU1U several millions to the annual expenses of the government, and even a larger amount for the next fiscal year. Other bills which have passed, either the Senate or the House, would, in a lare measure, swell the amount of expenditures. Thnse are contingencies towards which the at tention of Congress should be directed in consider ing the probable receipts and expenditures of tLe government. Either the expenditures " must be reduced to the estimated receipts, or some othei means of revenue be provided. If the first rem-1 edy can be effected, it isccrtainly the" most desi rable. lie has already submitted to Congress the plan for codifying the revenue laws, aud for the reor ganization of the election districts, which, if sanctioned and passed into laws, would greatly facilitate the operations of the Treasury Depart ment and reduce largely the expenses for collec ting the revenue. The recommendation to abolish the franking privilege and raiting the ietter rate to five cents with the view of bringing the Post Office Depart ment as near as possible to its former self-sustaining position, will, if carried out, greatly relieve the Treasury. In the other departments jeductious might also, in all probabiiity, be made. He only speaks of those which have been bro't to the attention of Congress, and commends them to their favorable consideration. If, however, the a ipropriations made at the present wion shall reach the amount.estimated for im4sy:try's report, a deficiency will exist which "mustbo pro vided for by additional legialation, and to tbo extent that the appropriations shall exceed the estimates, will that deficiency be necessarily in creased. He says he has already expressed the opinion, that the public debt ought not to bo increased by an additional loan. That opiniou remains un changed. The present tariff should be so modi fied as to supply such deficiency as may txist, and" he recommends his views on the subject, expressed in his annual report, to favorable con sideration. There stands on the statute books laws requiring the building of Custom Houses, Post Offices aud Court Houses at places where the public service does not require them at this time. A repeal of these laws or the postpone ment of their execution to a period of greater prosperity and less embarassment. would relieve the Treasury of that amount of expenditure. Ho calls attention to the outstanding Treasury notes. In the estimates of tures, the permanent redemption of them .as they may fall due, has not been contemplated. All . the calculations have been made upo te basis of continuing them in circulafron, and, as a rxat ter of course, the redemption A the whole or of any part must increase the anticipated deficiency unlss authority be given for their-re-issoe, or other provisions te made for their redemption. Since February last, there has baen redeemed five hundred and forty-three thousand seven hun dred dollars ($543,700,) and by the 30th of June next, the sum of seventeen millions, seven hundred and fiftyeight thousand nine hundred dollar ($17,758,900,) will fall due, at which time their payment must be met. . . Should Congress adjourn without legislating on the subiect. it would be almf imr.M.ii.i. the aiost favorable receipts from the ordinary sources, for the Department to meet the public liabilities until another Congress should be con vened. Ha hut) .IrmilT immediate demand should be provided for by autnoncing the re-issue oi the treasury notes for one or two years. This can easily be effected by extending, for that period the provisions of the act of December, 1657, authorizing the issue of Treasury notes. -v.. The proposition to convert these notes into a permanent debt ought not to receive the favora ble consideration of Congress. It would be vir tually to pos'pone their ultimate payment to a distant day, when the policy of the government should be to redeem them from year to year as the means of the Treasury will justify'. The pub lic debt which remains in the form of Treasury notes cap always be .redeemed without endanger ing the successful operations of the Department. Whenevet there Khali hp nr. pxrpss nf the rfvnn over the expenditures, it can bo safely placed to he" redemption of the Treasury nctes. The power of re-issuing them existing, fhould the future receipts from anv oise fall lelow tb estimates vi jjciiiuiicui. x.u auumonai reason is given, namely : The notes can be redeemed without the payment of any premium.which will hardly be the case with the United States stock. Contemplating the gradual redemption of these notes, and being opposed to the policy of adding the sum of twenty millions to the permanent debt, he repeats his former recommendation for extending the operations of the Treasury note act for one or two years more.

The road is to be finished and ready for travel in 60 days dating from the arrival of the next steamer from New Orleans, the bridges by the 15th of July, before which they will not be needed. The contractors ngFge, m the specified time to put tho road the entire distance, twenty-three miles, more or less, in perfect order on stage coaches, and to guarantee it as such, running all risks, whether for rains or otherwise, for the space of a year thereaf ter. The road-bed is to be eighteen feet wide, hard, smooth, and well drained, with the necessary ditches, the hills brought down to the grade of one foot in fifteen; and the forests felled the space of fifty feet each side of the road. Their compensation for this part of the work is to be $18,400 to .which 2,500 is to be added for the twtlve months' guarantee, this being the sum at which the annual expenses of so much of the road are estimated. The bridges are all to bo what are known as lattice bridges, each giving a roadway of 14 feet, those over the Sarabia and Malatengo each 150 feet space, those over the Tortugera Morgace and Patchine, 90. Tho total a mount of trestle-worR will be about 500 feet, of lattice, 570. The compeiisation for this will be 84.000 Total for the entire con tract, 104,000.

One of them, Mr. Stimson, goes to the States in the pres ent steamer to make arrangements for me chanics, of whom forty-five acquainted with bridge work will be needed; also, to purchase stores, material, tools, horses, mules, what ever, indeed, may be wanted in the construc tion of the road and bridges. As to the rest of the road, it is in excellent order for horse, mule or stage, all the way to the Pacific. The cutting through the Mal atengo Hills is completed, and is indeed an excellent work.

A Boy Carried Over JTiagard Falls, In Full View of Many Spectators! "We learn from the railroad men that a sou of Mr. Gibbs. foreman in tho Niagara Ealls Paper Mill) was taken over the cateract on Saturday after noon last The victim was a'promisicg little boy, about eleven years of age, and a general favorite with all who knew him. The Niagara Falls Paper Mill is situated on Bath Island, between the Goat Island and tho main land, and the machinery is driven by water power. On Saturday afternoon a number of men were engage! in clearing away the ice which obstructed the flow of the water in the race, and Mr. Gibbs' boy was playing about the vicinity Ia oue place the race is spanned by a nar row foot bridge of plank, destitute of a rail ing or other protection on either side, and somehow, iu crossing t'ui?, he lost bis balance and fell into the water. The current was very strong, and in an instant the child was carried out through the bulkhead at the tail end of the race and percipitated some ten feet into the foaming flood, a short distance above the bridge connecting the two islands. The rapids were full of floating blocks of ice, and mingled with these the poor little fellow was carried down the stream. Help could not be afforded, and the horrified spec tators watched him until ho was lost to si"ht He was observed to raise his hand once, as if to remove something from bis face, and that was all. The distance from the race to the fall can not be over fifty rods, and the fatal leap was not long delayed. It is not probable that any vestige will ever be discovered of the remains. The remorseless vortex beneath the falls seldom return to land anything com mitted to its mysterious depths.
