WKSifcM DEMOCRAT. vlCHARLOTTE.' DIKTR IBUTION, PROTECTION, IN TERNAL IMPROVBMEMT8, RIVER AND HARBOR APPROPRIATIONS. All pups of the same Litter. It i? a wry fH-y thing to show that every eheflM f"T diverting frm the federal treasu ry its legitimaffe supplies of revenue, are schemes inimical to the great interest e the-South a- -well as of the masses of the peoph- at large inimical in their effect and in their intention. The history of the past teaches that the purest statesmen of the South, and the staunchest friends of the Democratic masses have ever thus regard ed this subject, and reason and experience unite to confirm their judgment. It has alnnye been the favorite policy of the parties that have arisen one after the other in the L'uiou to dispute theupreniacy of Democracy in the popular confidence, ami which in every instance have hud their chief strength at the North to cut off from the federal treasury all sources of revenue other than the Tariff, and to -augment and aggravate the demands upon the Tariff it self. by every possible contrivance and de vice which ingenuity could invest. In pushing this policy, the opponents of the Democracy have sought to intercept the proceeds of the sales of the public lands fiom the federal trensury. to expend then in lavish bounties upon the new States, in stupendous schemes of internal improve ment, in school grants, in Indian grant-, in military bounties and in a thousaud and one cunning devices for drying up this source of the federal revenues and throw ing upon the Tariff the whole burden of federal administration, the entire expenses of war, of fortifications, of public edifices, of new territorial purohuses, and of federal debts and expenditures of every imaginable description. Nay. not content with merely intercept ing legitimate revenues from the federal treasury, they have rt the same time exer cised their masterly talents in devising suhemes for burdening the Tariff with ad ditional anil extraordinary charges other than the legitimate expenditures of the federal government. To this end they in vented the scheme of internal improvements by the general government and of river and 1 arbor appropriations under which, but for the ..tern opposition of the Demo cratic party, the Union would have been burdened ere this with a debt equal to that of the Uriti-ii government; and under which in.-tead of a Tariff iinpo.-ing duties averag ing 22 per cent., we should now have one with duties approaching 100 per ceut. Balked in thifl scheme of securing a high tariff by a stupendous policy of National canal and railroad expenditures, and river and harbor appropriations, they resorted to the expedient of protection, claiming that tariff duties should be levied with a view of protecting Northern manufactures, and not with a view to the largest amount of revenue; no that, for instanoc, if a duty of 30 per cent, on any fabric would let in importa tions of the article, that would produce a revenue of $3O,0UO.fMH ; while one of 100 per ceut. would almost exclude the fabric and produce scarcely any revenue at all: yet, that the public policy required the high duty to be levied, inasmuch as the home manufacturer of the fabric would thus be euabled to charge the masses of the people double the price for which the article could be obtained from the foreign manufacturer. Thus it ha- been their policy while turning away into the insatiable -ands of distribution and western speculation, the magnificent revenues which an economical administration of the public lands would pour into the Treasury at the same time to create stupendous objects of federal ex penditure as additional charges upon the tariff over and above those required for the legitimate expenditures of the Government: and yet so to arrange the scale of duties as not merely to levy the necessary funds from the people to defray these ordinary and extraordinary revenues, but to pay several dollars to the manufacturing clasess at home for every dollar that goes into he Tr I'aS'iry. Indeed, the distribution scheme has only been a part of a grand scheme, embracing internal improvements, river and harbor appropriations, and protection, all parts of the game system of oppression up on the South and the Democratic masses of the Union at large, for the benefit of Nortiieru capital and Southern opposition politicians. For many years past the people have not been vexed with this litter of abominations. The Tariff act of 1846, was framed with a view to revenue upon the basis of the commerce of the oountry as it then existed. The duties were then reduced from the protective standard to the standard of rcre nue. The Protectionist party scoffed at and ridiculed the measure, contending that the new duties were so low that either the revenue they would produce would be in adequate to support the government or else the impoitations of the country would grow under them so great as to create the bal auce of trade against us which would be de structive. Who has forgotten the letter of Abbott Lawrence, the great Lowell manu facturer, to Wm. C. Rives, the Virginia apostate, indulging these lugubrious reflec tions ? Mr. Evans of Maine, the Protectionist leader in the Senate, proclaimed in his seat, that the Tariff of 1S4G would hot produce $12.0U0.0ti0 of revenue Daniel Webster left a memorandum with the Clerk of the Senate that the new Tariff would not pro duce $14.U0i,000. The New York and New England banks predicted that the drain of specie out of the country to pay its foreign balances would produce a universal niah in eighteen months forgetting the plain p. inciple in political economy, that the count. y would purchase abroad only to the extent to which it would sell its own pro uets. andth.:t if its importations doubled uudi-r lo v du ies. it would only be because its for in ou t mers would consent to take in exchange d able the amount of its own products. We all kuow the result. The revenue Tariff was "a success" the first year two years before California gold come in to ensure and crown its triumph with a crown of jewels. Our commerce, both im port and export, has grown to such enor mous proportions, that the scale of revenue under the Tariff of 1846, which was adjust ed with a view of paying (with the aid of the sales of the public lands) the legitimate expenses of the Federal Government have overleaped the mark, and instead of the $30,000,000 estimated by Mr. Walker, is paying over $65.K)0.000. The necessity for reduction has thus be come imperative ; and, accordingly, we sec the Democratic politicians of the country voting and contending for a large reduction, which would reduce the tariff taxes upon people to the lowest figures of say from 15 to 18 per cent. They are opposed, how ever, in this policy by the opposition poli ticians of the North, who are endeavoring to mince the measure and to postpone and defeat the reduction by every indirect means ; while the opposition politicians of the South are seizing the occasion for re newing their old proposition for Distribu tion and, by diverting from the Federal Treasury the proceeds of the public lands and distributing stipends among the States under the delusive name of la.id quotas, un der such bills as Senator Hell's, are helping the Northern opposition in their effort to postpone nnd defeat the reduction of the Tariff to the proper standard. Thus it turns out agfiin in the evolutions of party politics that we have arrived in the year 1857 precisely at the point at which we were in the year 1837 and are stand ing again on the threshold of a great con test between the South and the masses on one side, against Northern capital and anti Demoeratie politicians North and South on the other upon the great problem of the Tariff and its accessory subjects. To announce the Democratic position on a single branch of the subject is to announce it on all its cognates : and. when Mr. Bach auan in his admiral Inaugural stated the position of the Democracy on the subject of the public lauds, he virtually stated the weightier matter of the Tariff: "No nation in the tide of time has ever been blessed with so rich and noble an in heritance as we enjoy in the Public Lands. In administering this itnpoi tant trust, whilst it may be wise to grant portions of them for tin; improvement of tin; remainder, yet we should never forget that it is our cardi nal policy to reserve these land as much as may be for actual settlers, and that at mod erate prices." For actual settler and at moderate busi ness prices not for aon resident speculators, for mammoth corporations, or for land job bing States but for sale, section by sec tion, as the healthy progress of natural emigration produces demand for actual set tlers : a policy just in itself, judicious in its economy, pouring a steady uniform stream of annual revenue into the Fedenl Treasury, under which every acre sold will be heralded by the clink of the price as it fall- into the national coffers. The announcement of this policy for the public lauds is equivalent to announcing thi' whole filianeiati poliey ' QMutrn- ment. It was only another form of itera tion for the President to add : "It is beyond all question the true prin ciple that no more revenue ought to be col lected from the people, than the amount necessary to defray th" expenses of a wise, economical and efficient adiuitiistratiou of the Government. To reach this, it was necessary to resort to a modification of the Tariff, and this has been accomplished in such a manner as to do as little injury as may have been practical to our domestic manufactures, especially those necessary for the defence of the country. Any dis crimination against a particular branch for the purpose of benefitting favorite corpora tions, individuals or interests, would have been unjust to the rest of the community and inconsistent with that spirit of fairness and equality which ought to govern in the adjustment of the revenue tariff." In these two paragraphs arc sketched the whole programme of policy which the Democratic party will maintain during the new discus.-ions of Tariff and Distribution. Sales of the land to actual settlers, and no more revenue from a Tariff than will be necessary, with their aid, to defray the constitutional expenditures of the federal government : this ithe whole Democratic scheme of policy for the Public Lands and the Tariff. Against this policy the opposition will seek to divert the land sales from the federal treasury, and to augment the duties of the Tariff by River rod Harbor appropriations, by indirect protection and by every other expedient that shall minister to their policy of high Tariff and iarge federal revenues from imposts. Upon the issues thus presented, the Democracy will maintain their old stand, fighting for the broad interests of the mil lion, fighting for justice to the South, fight ing for a constitutional administration of the federal government, to the bitter end content to fall or triumph by the enlighten ed judgment of the people. Richmond Examiner. S. Hourtbjji Murder by Slaves. At Lake Providence, La., a horrible murder was committed by some slaves upon the body of their master, W. H. Harry, of that neighborhood, on Saturday, the 21st tilt. Early la the morning, of that day, Mr. Harvy started on a hunting tour. When he came out of the house, an old negro wo man struck him with some heavy weapon, from the effects of which he fell. Two ne groes then seized him, tied ono end of a rope around his neck and the other to his feet, and swinging him under a mule, con veyed him a distance of half a mile from the house, and then split his skull with an axe. These facts were elicited from a ne gro girl, who would only divulge them un uuder threats of death. The old woman who began thi assault had been the nurse of Mr Harvy when a child. The greatest i xciteiiunt prevailed in the neighborhood, and Wednesday last was appointed as the day on which to burn the negroes. James D. Tradewell, Esq., was elected Mayor of Columbia, S. C, on Monday, over Dr. J no. H. Boatwright. OUTRAGES OF BRIGHAM YORNG. A correspondent of the San Francisco Herald, writing from Salt Lake City on the 7th of January, say : "I have to chronicle one of the most dar ing and insulting natioual crimes ever com mitted in the U. States, and that, too, under the direct care and control, and under the immediate order and direction of this man Young. Early in January, and just in ad vance of the meeting of the Supreme Court, a party of the Mormons in high standing in the Church, repaired to the office of Hon. G. P. Stiles, one of the United States Dis trict Judges, the law office of T. S. Wil liams, Esq., and the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and took therefrom all the papers belonging to the Supreme Court, consisting of records, dockets, opinions filed away, together with nine hundred volumes of the laws furnished by the Federal Gov ernment for the use of the Territory of Utah. The reason given for this treason ous act was that Congress would not admit them as a State, and that they would not allow the federal officers to remain in the Territory: and that what officers were now in the Territory must leave as soon as grass grows or he will send them to hell across lots. Now, sir. can you find a parallel to this act of treason since the organization of the American Colonies? if so, please note the time and place. It seems now to be a settled fact that the laws of Congress cannot be carried out or put in force in this Territory the only law known or obeyed is the law of the Church, ' and that is the will of Brigham Young, who most clearly is the most brutal tyrant now on earth, nnd in point of treasonous de signs, without an equal. Often have the Courts decided against the enactments of the Utah Statutes, but all in vain. The Mormons go on after their own order of doing b isiness, wholly disregarding and setting at defiance the opinions a.id deci sions of the Supreme Court of the Territo- ry, and openly declare that they will not I be governed by any one unless he is a Mor j iiiun, and that any one who thinks otherwise can lose his life by trying the experiment, which most emphatically will be the case unless a strong military aid is given by the United States government. In vain may one try for justice where the mandate of one man is the supreme law of the land, when you have Mormon jurors, witnesses, officers. Arc., all bound by the secret oath of hostility not only to all the laws of Con gress, but toward all the officers of the United States Government, from President down to that of Marshal of the Territory of Utah. At this time, Sir, there are five young men lingering out'n weary life of misery and wretchedness, groaning beneath heavy loads of iron, in the damp hnd dismal cells of the Utah Penitentiary, for no crime known to the laws other than expressing opinions of I disapprobation of the doctrines of Mormon- ism, which here is the blackest crime a man can commit. It is worthy of remark that these young men are not Mormons, but were passing on their way to California, from Missouri. Poor fellows! they are doomed to a sleklj mid loi'luring Ueuitl, and tliat soon, for it is not possible to survive such brutal treatment very long. Quite recently a young man by the name of Lewis, was convicted of assault and battery, and sen tenced to five years imprisonment in tie Penitentiary; and while on their way to the prison, a band of ruffians took him way from the officer and deprived him of his , and then put him into the prison to din. These things are too common to be j endured much longer; and unless the Fed eral Government speedily lends aid unto her officers now in this Territory, the mis erable ends of both Mormons and officers of the Government can be better anticipated than told. THE FORTUNES OF WALKER. We think there is no man who deserves more of the reading public than Walker of Ni caragua. The newspapers should erect him a monument. They are under some obli gation to Eckel. John Dean and Hunting ton, to the Emperor of Russia, to the Chi nesoand to Lord Palmerston, but Walker throws all the other heroes and heroiues into profound darkness. One after another of these notabilities passes from the stage; or, subsides into a state of quiescence; Hunt ington retires to Sing Sing; Eckel is ob scured in the shadow of the Tombs; John Dean drives off with his precious bargain; the Emperor of Russia leaves the Crimea and busies himself with railroad specula tions; Palmerston, as Punch wittily observes, is "putting things to rights before going to the country." But Walker, like the widow's cruse, never gives out. He is always in motion, and his career is most agreeably diversified with a constant succession of ups and downs, lights and shadows. He may be designated the Hero of Vicissitudes. One steamer leaves him on the flat of his back : another reports him up again, seated on the stop rail of the fence, and crowing like Chanticleer. One day he is on the point of starving to death, his men are de serting him in regiments, and he hasn't a cent in his exchequer. The next day he is flush of provisions, men and money. Some body Is always flanking Walker, except when Walker is flanking somebody else. One day he is' confined in a town or fortifi cation, and the next, Henningsen, the gal land Hungarian, comes to his deliverance, and straightway Walker is doing as well as can be expected. Goon Ri les for all. Profane swearing is abominable. Vulgar language is dis gusting. Loud laughing is iraolita In quisitiveness is offensive. Tattling is mean. Telling lies contemptible. Slandering is devilish. Ignorance is disgraceful, and laziness is shameful, .-..void all the above vices, and aim at usefulness. This is the road in which to become respectable. Walk in it, Never be ashamed of honest labor. Pride is a curse a hateful vice. Never act the hypocrite. Keep good companv. Speak the truth at all times. Never be discouraged, but persevere, and mountains will become mole-hills. A NUT FOR ABOLITIONISM. In January hut, the Schr. Emily, bound from Charleston to this port, was abandoned at sea and all the survivors, six in number, were taken on board the Ship Embassador, and carried to Liverpool. Among those thus rescued were two slaves, owned in this place. Intelligent, active and capable of getting a living anywhere, perfectly aware that they could not be forced to return, they have voluntarily signified their pre ference for Slavery and are now on their way to Charleston (most probably are there) on their return to their owners. Such facts as these are worth the ravings of a thou sand Beechers or Greelys. Beaufort ( N. C.) Journal. PHOTOGRAPH COUNTERFEITS. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas gives the following alarming account of recent photographic counterfeits in that city : The science of photopraphy has, for some time past, been the rage among the young men of fashion in Paris, and has been car ried to great perfection by some of them ; but none to greater extent than by M. Aguaddy whose successful studies from na ture are well known among the artists of every country. On Saturday morning, this gentleman sent word to the experts of the Bank of France that he had at length suc ceeded so fully in the imitation of one of the thousand franc notes that he defied them to detect it ; and to show his perfect con viction of the impossibility of the discovery, he warned them that the note would be presented at the bank between the hours of one and three. According to his intima tion, the experts were assembled at the counter, and each note brought in was sub mitted to thoir examination before it was accepted. The hour passed by and no false note appeared ; the whole of those specified lay in a row spread out before the experts, who already crowed over the idea that M. Aguado had not dared to hazard the experiment, when just as the clock struck three, in he walked, smiling and triumphant, with a thousand franc note in his hand. "Well, have you detected my forgery," asked he, with the greatest coolness.. "No," replied the head expert; ''for the good reason that yon never sent it." "Why, there it lies, right under your nose the third to the left; and here is the original that I took it from." The dismay of the experts may be imagined, when, even comparing the two, they found it impossible to say which was the false. A council was held to determine the course to be adopted, as according to report, a great number of these photographic notes were in circulation, and M. Aguado declared himself able to manufacture any number of notes in a given time, and that none shall be detected, either by sight or touch. The following announcement, savs a California paper, will be hailed with delight by sundry gentlemen from "Old Pike": "Mr Editor please give a very good notis of the marriage of Bob Spikes that was whipped for stealing in Gorgy to old Bill Rices big g'y gpd Betsy which took place last Thursday by Squire Billy Jones. We had a bustin time sure and you never seed sich fun. Tut in sum Poetri if you can it will please em al mitclv. "Yours, &c, JOE MUGGINS." Conviction of a Physician for Rob bing his Patient. A most singular trial has lately taken place in Montreal. Dr. Jean Baptiste Theophille Dorion, a person of gentlemanly appearance, of standing and position in society, and in the possession of wealth to the amount of upwards of $50, 000, was charged with stealing silver spoons, two promissory notes for $100, -a gold headed cane and six books from Dr. Leveve Donan, (whom he attended in his last illness,) on the day of his death. The alleged theft took place on the 24th of June, 1851, nearly six years ago, aud the chief witnesses were two brothers of the prison er, who saw the goods taken. The accused said that the charge was the result of a conspiracy to ruin him, but the jury, after an absence of five minutes, found him guil ty. When the virdict was announced, the prisoner staggered in the dock, and was ashy pale. He was sentenced to two years in the Penitentiary. Filial Affection. There were two remarkable cases in our last Court. They were brought by a son and a son-in-law, for supporting an aged, helpless mother, a few weeks before she died. There was something revolting in the idea of seeing a son or daughter, whom the mother had borne, nursed and brought up, charging for the board and attentions paid that mother just before her death ! Such conduct is ra- voltmg to every feeling of the human heart, j and ought to be denounced. The plaintiffs : lived on the top of Glassy Mountain, near the North Carolina line, and beyond what is called the Dark Corner of Greenville. If they had been citizens of the Dark Corner, they would have had more filial affection. Their counsel attempted a justification on the ground of ignorance, and want of pro per training and education. In reply, we told the jury that the best teaching they could have, and the first lesson to be taught them was, to love their parents and take care of them in olu age. There was another case tried which was a remarkable one. A kinsman sued for compensation for trying to save the life of a brother-in-law who was condemned to be hanged! The plaintiff had already been paid his expenses, and the jury found a verdict against bim for fifty dollars, instead of three hundred in his favor, as he demand ed by his action.

A. young man committed self slaughter the other day in Pennsylvania, because the lady who he was anxious to marry said "no," when he asked her to be his bride. There might have been some little excuse for him, if he had got interestingly corned on the occasion of his rejection at the hands of his lady love that's done every day; but he made a gosling, a complete ninny of himself by cutting his jugular. If we had been in his place, we would have seen ner n Heaven before we would have put out the light of our existence on her account. You never hear of the boys down here in North Carolina, committing such foolish acts. Several of our male acquaint ances have been kicked sky high a dozen or more times by their sweet hearts, but we have never known one of them to lose a night's sleep or refuse a good dinner in consequence thereof. But we have known a few of them to sling themselves away after receiving the "mittens." Saw-Mill Blunt. Gen. Trollinger's saw-mill at Carey, in this County, eight miles west of this city on the Central Road, was consumed by fire on Wednesday night. Loss about $1,200. Raleigh Standard. Fatal Accident. We understand that on the night of the 4th inst., the freight train on the North Carolina Railroad, coming up, when a little below Durham's Station, passed over Madison Dollar, cu;ting off both his legs at the thighs. The Engineer did not see him until too late to stop the train. He was brought up to Durham's Station, where proper attention was paid to him, but he died in a few hours It appears that he was lying upon the road in a state of intoxication. Hillsboro Rec. A Young And Beactifcl Wife Mcrdebsd in Louisville. Louisville, April 4. Our community is much excited in consequence of the discovery of a most cruel murder, which appears to have been com n i tied on Thursday night. The name of the person murdered is Mary Travers, a beautiful and accomplished girl of only 24 years of ajro, who had been married but about eight months. Her husband, who is supposed to have committed the horrid deed, was found beside the dead body of his wife in bed. He had attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat, but injuries arc not believed to be serious. Spain and Mexico. It is stated that the Spanish minister at Washington has received intelligence from his government to the effect that the expedition which has been fitting out to operate against Vera Cruz will not proceed to its destination. A more intelligent understanding of the question in dispute between the two govern ments, together with the friendly interposi tion of France and England, it is alleged, have led to this result. Capt. Ryndeks in New Yokk. CapL Rynders is proceeding vigorously in his new office of U. S. Marshal. lie says he is determined to do his duty at all hazards; that he means to set an example of efficient service, and compel all under him to do the same or be discharged. "It'," says he "a fugitive slave Is to be caught, I'll catch him; if a slaver is to be prevented from sailing, I'll stop her, and do the latter duty a little more readily than tho former, and if filibusters attempt to break the law of the United States, they shall receive no favorat my bands. I approve of filibustering; but as I said at the Tabernacle, my feelings as a man are one thing, my dutv as an officer another." Masonic Statue of Washington. Fredericksburg (Va.) Lodge, No. 4 of which Gen. Washington was a member, have received a letter from Hiram Powers, the sculptor, iu which he says the fac simile of Washington's masonic regalia have been received, the model prepared and the marble is now ready. He promises to forward a photograph of the statue, copies of which are to be sent to the various Lodges and Grand Lodges throughout the United States which have subscribed to this undertaking. Wool-Growing in the South. A gentleman who has been engaged in the wool-growing business in Tennessee, and who has recently transversed Northern Alabama, informs the Mobile Tribune that the raising of sheep in that State would be more profitable than the culture of cotton. Thousands of acres, fit for nothing else but sheep pastures, could be had for 12 cents per acre. 'Riding on a Rail." Warrants have been issued at East Deer township, Alle gheny county, Pa., for the arrest of six young ladies, charged with riding the schoolmaster of that district on a raij. It appears that the schoolmaster refused the use of his schoolhouse for the purpose of holding singing schools, which gave the young ladies great offence. So great is the excitement that the young ladies have secreted themselves to avoid arrest. Another Victim. Hon. Sam'l Brenton member of Congress from Indiana, died at his residence in Fort Wayne, on Sunday evening last, from the disease, it is alleged, he had contracted at the National Hotel in Washington. "Sam, why don't you talk to your massa, and tell urn to lay up his treasure in heaven?" "What's de use of his laying up his treasure dare, whare he neber see says : "There is" a young, healthy, handsome widow in this city, who has an inome of $15,000 a year, and who wants to marry a man who has not the slightest objection to the union. But her late husband, whose jealousy, it seems, did not end with his life, left a wicked will giving all his property to a collateral relative, if his widow should wed a second husband. We understand that the victim of this outrage has offered $10,000 a year out of her income of $15,000 to have the cruel condition cancelled, but the party to whom the property would revert is inexorable. And this is by no means a solitary case of the wrongs and cruelties perpetrated and perpetuated by the diabolical wills of the dead. We know of several cases similar to the one alluded to, and it is time to denounce this sort of tyranny in the language which its merits." Let the widow marry, and appeal to the courts for the abrogation of the unnatural provision of the will. The curreut of the latest decisions has set strongly against the binding force of such post mortem restrictions upon the natural aptitude of widows to re-marry. Operations of the United States Mint. The deposits at the Philadelphia mint during March amounted to $1, 007,480, included $1,408,950 in gold, and $138,530 in silver. The month's coinage embraced 3,714,291 pieces of the value of $2,174,890, all in gold except 8375,000 of silver; of the latter there were 2,320,000 half dimes 300,000 dimes, and 9 1 6,000 quarters. The gold coins were all double half and quarter eagles. There are now on hand at the mint 8097.975 SO in gold coins, and $595,170 33 in silver coins of various denominations.
