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.

A Compliment to the Democratic Party.
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. Post

The Tariff and the Treasnary.
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

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.

erected over the Jumuapa. 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'

annual expenses of so much of the road are

Mr. Stimson, goes to the States in the pres

bridge work will be needed; also, to purchase
stores, material, tools, horses, mules, what
ever, indeed, may be wanted in the construc

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. Rochester
