The deficiencies of the revenue, whether from imports or other sources, must necessarily be supplied bv direct taxation and from loans, and the problem t be soivtd is that of &o proportion ing the former to the latter, and so adjusting the details of both, that the whole amount needed may be obtained with certainty, with due econo my", with the least possible inconvenience, and with the greatest possible incidental benefit to the cople. The Secretary has given to this important sub ject the best consideration which the urgency of the varied public duties has allowed, and now submits to the consideration of Congress, with great deference and uo little distrust of bis ow n iudm.ent. the conclusions to which he has arriv ed. He is of the opinion that .?0,"00,000 sho'd and that i-MO.OUU.UOO ins. It will hardly be dispute 1 that in every sound system of nuance, adequate provision by taxation for the prompt discharge of all ordinary demands, for the payment of the interest on loans, and f r the creation of a gradually increasing fund for the redemption of the principal, is indispensable. Public credit can only be supported by public faith, and public faith t an er.ly be maintained by an economical, energetic and prudent admin istration of public affai.s, and by the prompt and punctual fuitil'.ment of every public obligation. It Las been already stated that the appropria tions for the ordinary expenditures of the li.-.-al year 1SG2, including the permanent and indefi nite descriptions, amounts to ,03,H7J849 G4, 1 the interest to be paid on the debt to be incurred ( .1 .,..:.. .. .. iv !.-. 1.. id .m.itr.l jit '.!

In setting up our editorial article, last week, with regard to the County Ticket, that portion of it which referred to Peter J. Little, Esq , our nominee for Commissioner, was accident ally omitted. The omission was entirely un intentional. There is no man in the county, whom we personally or politically esteem higher than Mr. Little, lie ia an accomplish ed clerk, an excellent business man, and w thai, j taxes on personal property, included in lists em- r .....,. .,.:,..i I bracing all tiesern lions aud value-l i-y a una.-rra will bc $7lsSG7,S40 G4. To pri.vi.lc for these i-ayment-, it is proposed, in accordance with the principle ju.-t sttid. t) raise by taxati. n at least the sum of 80,009,000. In considering the choice of means to ersure n revenue adequate to the purposes ju.-t indicated, the attention of the Secretary has been necessarily drawn to the different ia d s of taxation autn'-r- ! ized by the Constitution. The choice is l'nnite.l to du'.ies on imports, direct taxation and internal j duties or excises. I Duties on imports c-.nstitute the chief form of : indirect taxation- Di-ect taxation include capi- j tation taxes on real estate, and. probably general hil high and responsible positions in the Nation. It is impossible to degrade the incumbent, without also in some degree degrading the office, and weakening in the minds of the people, that feeling of reverence for the Gov ernment, which in a Republic is essential for its preservation. We therefore could never admire, cither the patriotism or good taste of those, who during the administration of Mr. Buchanan, were in the habit of applying to him such degrading epithets as "an old scoun drel"; "a hoary headed traitor"; "a second Judas," Sic. Feeling thus, we Lave no dis position now to speak of Mr. Lincoln, save in the kindest and most respectful terms. We will not therefore say, that we believe, that as he was a first c!a?s rail -splitter, it would have been a happy thing for the country if he had remained at the business; and that if in Illinois he was nothing more than a second rate lawyer, in Washington City he has prov ed himself to be not even a scconJ rate states man. Neither will we insinuate, that he is nothing more than a political Mountebank, better fitted for playing the part of clown of the ring, than lhat of Chief Magistrate of the Republic- but we do say, that his Message to Congress, which we publish on our first page this week, is not such a one as the people had a right to expect, at this fe-.irful crisis of their country's fate There is nothing either in the manner or matter of the document, calculated to excite admiration. Oa the contrary there is a levity about portions of it, which is cal culated to shock and disgust every rigjit thinking citizen, at this period when they feel, that the fate of themselves, of their wivrs, of their children, of everything near and dear ; to them in this worU, in all probability de ! pends on the action of the present Congress ! Nothing like exult ;d pati i ni-m, freedoai from ! party bins, or clear and logical reasoning is j anywhere displayed. From the glib mauuer in which the Pre.-ident taiks of sugar-coated pills, one is ulmo.-t compdi.d to believe, that Patent Medicine a iveriiseiii-'uts are his favor- it-? literature, and that he is willing to lend a ' helping l.atid to those who manufacture i " Iy-ic for the million." The history of the ! policy pursued by the Administration, from the fourth of March till the bombardment of Foit Sumter, was known to the whole country weeks ago ; while we have seen the elaborate argument to prove th ? fallacy of the secession doctrine, txcellid in the columns of almost every paper on our exchange list. The only portion of the Mcsa2o worthy of any consi 1- l nlted. Since the adjournment of the Democratic Convention on Monday of last week, we have received from every section of the county, the most gratifying assurances, that its action gives universal satisfaction to the party. The ticket will everywhere throughout the county receive the united support of the Democracy, and this of course will be sufficient to secure its success. All past differences are now "in the deep bosom of the ocean buried," and we sincerely hope, there they will remain forever. The Democracy of Pennsylvania, should at once in every county in the State, unite and prcsent an unbroken front to the enemy. The obvious efforts of the party now in power to revive the old Federal organization, to ignore the Constitution, undermine the Sovereignty of the States and secure the establishment of a consolidated military despotism, on the ruins of the Union, should arouse every lover of Constitutional liberty in the old Keystone, to prompt, determined and energetic action The National Administration must be sustain ed in all legitimate and lawful efforts to put down the Southern rebellion, but it will not do to let it go unrebuked for its flagrant viola tions of the Constitution. This war is not merely an effort to conquer th revolted States, but also a struggle for tho preservation of the Union and Constitution, as they were trans mitted to us by the sages and patriots who have cone to their reward.

Of course, if we bad known it wa3 intended to be personal, or contained insinuations calculated to wound the feelings of any one, we would not have published it; and now that it is before us in print, we must say, that we regard it as a nice milk and water document, too weak to offend any one but it may contain insiuationa which we do not understand, and are therefore sorry that we published it. We hope that neither of cur correspondents will allow any unkind feel ings to grow out of this foolish affair. Re member that Soft words turn away wrath, while grievous words, stir up anger."

It will be for Congress to determine whether this army shall at this time be increased by the addition of a still larger force. In making appointments of officers for the new regiments, the rule has been adopted of selecting one half of them from the regular army, and the other half from civil life. Of the civilians appointed as regin.ental efficers, all, except one, are either graduates of West Point, or have before riou.-ly, we may look cut for a grand scheme of plunder, fraud aud peculation, during the next few years, and magnificent fortunes will be amassed at the expense of the people.

It turns out upon exunination, that the Democratic County Convention, commit ted a blunder in nominating a candidate for the offioe of Auditor for one year, as no such vacancy in the office now exists.
