the following means :
Hv taxation direct and indirect, $SO,000,000
Luans, 210,000,000
On the branch of his report, with regard to
Ways and Means, the Secretary says :
To provide the large sums required for ordina
ry expenditure and by the existing emergency,
it is quite apparent that the duties on imports,
the chief resource for ordinary disbursements,
will not be adequate.
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

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

Count' Commissioner.
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. Jefferson Davis

Force fe r service after the w ith
tlrawal of tLe 3 months' men, 230,000
It will thus be seen, says the Secretary,
that alter the discharge cf the three months'
troops, there will still be an available force of
volunteers, amounting to ISS.000. which add
ed to the regular army, will constitute a force
of 230,000 tfficers and men. 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. Rut
what of that? The people, in the way mat
ters are now managed, are very "small pota
toes'' and have therefore, we suppose, no right
to complain.
Hon. L. W. Hall, of the State Sen

been taken from the regular army and the
volunteers now in service, while the second
lieutenants bave been mainly created by the
promotion of meritorious Sergeants, from the
regular army. This is the testimony of Si

iT We negleced. last week, to acknowl
edge the receipt from Col J M. Swank, our
efficient County Superintendent, of the Penn

beund and printed, and will be valuable to us
hereafter as a matter of reference. Col one 1
accord our thanks.
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. Mr. Lytle
was elected for only two years, and his term
closed with the last Auditors' settlement.
At the reqacst of Mr. Rbej'. we withdraw
his name from the ticket as published at the
head of our paper
ClTTIoward J. Roberts Esej., chairman of
the " Peoples", or rather RIack Republican,
