NE VV ADMINISTRATION NATIONAL TtEliTTARIFF The new administration of the national government will come into power, in some respects at least, under very embarrassing circumstances. They will find a deranged currency, a national debt, and an empty trea- BllrV i with nn accruinrr rnvannn ii.arleniinta in m.ol ' s 1 " " the greatly increased expenses of the government. To extricate incmseives irom inese uiincuilies, in which, without anv fault of their own. ihev will find them selves placed, it will be necessary, as speedily as pos sible, 10 introduce economy, by lopping oil all sinecure offices and curtailing all unnecessary expenditures to recover, as tar as possible, the puhlic moneys from the hands of unfaithful agents to stop the various leaks from the public treasury, and to provide a revenue suf- iu-ieni to meet me current expenses ol an economical administration of the government. The introduction nf strict nccnitntnhililv ann (iuni.li, alily iii the collection and disbursement of the public moneys me prevention 01 tne various peculations by tnose who nana'e uie national treasure and me dismissal of unnecessary nlacemen. will devolve unon the President and his principal agents, the Heads of the Departments; and upon Congress will devolve the amy oi providing a revenue adequate to the current ui-uiaiius wnicn snouia oe legitimately made upon it. These duties, so far as the Executive is concerned, will bo plain and simple, though, to some extent, painful or unpleasant: but that which will devolve up on Congress is one upon which much difference of uninion is to be annrehended. It is notorious that the current revenue is not ade quale to meet ihe current exnenses of the government. and an increase of duties boon imnort. from fnrpiirn countries, or a resort to direct taxation, seems to be the only alternative by which the expenses of the government can be met and an increase of the national debt avoided. That the people of the Uniled Stales will patiently submit to direct, or involuntary taxation for the support of Ihe national government, in addition to that which they are compelled to pay for the sup-port of the slate governments, we do not believe : nor J 11! . .. . oo we neneve it necessary or expedient that they should do so. We do not assert that Conrrres. nn o nronerlv. or constitutionally, lew duties nn th. im portation of foreign articles, tolely for the purpote of ouitumgup manujucturet in our country t but we do .men mm vongress nas lite constitutional power to levy import dunes sufficient to meet Ihe ordinary ex. nenses of an economical administration nf the trnvprn. ment, and thai, in levuinn luch duties, that flintier rnmi I ".t with propriety be to exereiied at incidentally to afford protection lo me great agricultural and manufacturing inltrettt of the nation. We admit that in adjusting a tariff u as to accomplish these ereat objects without doing injustice to any section of the Union, or any ctass oi us citizens, some dilliculties will be encountered. A diversity of opinion may, and probably will exist as to the details of the plan ; but, in regard to the great principles involved, it seems to us that all who puaaess noerai views, united with a spirit or con cilialion, must agree. THE GLOUE FRAUDS AT ELECTIONS BETTER TIMES. Since it has been ascertained that the States which have cast their voles for Gen. Harrison have in almos all inslances given such overwhelming majorities, and that the few States that have voted for Van Dnr.n have, with the exception of Now Hampshire, given such lean majorities, Ihe Globe no longer contends that Ihe elecliona have been carried by the admission oi trautlulent votes. No. this wou Id be too hold on, I improbable a falsehood for even the Globs to put lonn. i ne song now is "that the people have beer duped, deceived and cajoled into the support of Gen, Harrison that the nure. the self.ilevntcil. th. ,;.;.,. ttreited patriot, Mr. Van Bunts, has heen Riliranm. seated, and thus rendered unpopular among the peo plethat " belter times" have been promised to the people on eondition of their supporting Gen. llurri-aon. And that honett and veraciout print goes on lo relate a story, "that a Journeyman mechanic or oom-mon luboror had applied to his bos to raise his wages according lo promise, now that Harrison is elected President," and comments upon it to prove that Ihe price of labor and of property generally has not, in fact, risen since Ihe eleotion and that, therefore, Ihe Whigs have deceived and duped the honest, unsuspecting yeomanry of the country. Does Ihe Globe really believe that Gen. Harrison is invested with the supernatural power of producing a change of limes, and of restoring prosperily to a country that has for years groaned under the most wilder-ing ntiarulr.yw month brfore he Met the hdm nf government in hit handt 1 Or does he rale the intelligence of the people so low as to suppose that they can be duped by surli absurd statements t To talk of "deceiving the people" while it puts forth such abominable misrepresentations Verily, no print except the Glnhe or the Statesman has Ihe effrontery thus to attempt deception, and with the same breath charge deception on its opponents. We commend to the Globe the moral contained in the following story : "Why do you throw the wheat on the groundl" said a boy to his father when he saw him sowing wheal. "I expect to get at least ten bushels of wheat for ev ery one winch 1 thus throw upon the ground," repl me minor, i ne next day the simple boy went to ..1.1 1 1 J i the ne.ni, unu seeing no wheut, relumed, and said to i his Uther, "tuther.Vou havethrnwn .11 lor noitung; lor instead often times Ihe quantity - "-j mi iiiiinuroi which you scattered on the or on ml I .... .... . n V cn Von seatlemH nn il.a I I ,, ,. , . " " "" llavea liltlo patience my son," said the fulher, wait .... cummer anu, with uie blessing i,( 1'ruviden you will see the Harvest." When Ihe Globe charges the Whigs with nrsrep sonling tiie hisioiy ihe character and the measui of Mr. Van Duren, does it furgel its orders to its s vile followers, "to charo alono thi wholi lin , , . . , T : """" tO BbstalnfrOtn attetnnllllir lodefend lh. lneaai,ra . c - ... or the Admlntslrnl on. and chant.

To talk of attacks upon either mo puuuo or private character or a candidate for thi Presidency, surely comes with a very bad gracs from the Globe. "THE DEED IS DONE" Slal-,man. In our last we stated that we might again refer to thi i i precious specimen of the Statesman s democracy now resume the snhiect. The Editor arrain ex. we i presses his alarm, that the will of lite people, at erpreu- ..til. l a.;- i .... . ... ... cu tnruugit incir cunaimuionai repretewarivct, it nut to be defeated by the will of one man ; in other words, that we are no longer to have a Monarch lo declare what shall be law, and whatshall not! We have long known that the party to which he belongs were for vesting all power in the hands of one man; called a REsrDENT, it is true, but in tact a Monarch; we were not I however prepared to see him thus openly avow doctrine. But hear him: kWe are now unon the wide sea of an untried ex. the pel iment, by the annulling of one article of the Uni- lel I Males Constitution, which requires the President tnnnrnVA1 n hill hafim lia'a;..ia il if nnl irnlllrn It V the with his objections' the oath of office requiring e President to 'proiect and defend the Constitution i inu united mates,' is a dead letter lis his mouth, ir Gen. Harrison declares it is his belief that a U. . Bank is uneomtitulional, yet he also declares that a will sanction any monstrous bill of this kind that ongress may pass." Now here is a palpable misrepresentation of Gen. urrison's declaration in relation to a IT. Si. flank ieneral Harrison has more than once expressed his Tie lews on this subject in Ihe presence of assembled lonsands who can bear witness to this misrepresen th tation. He has said "that the power to charter a National Bank is lint amon7 the etliimertitttl nntfi.r. wilh which the Constitution of the U. S. has invested Con gress 1 fiat their power lo charier such a bank, if it exist at all, must be conferred by that clause of the Constitution which authorizes Congress to pass all laWA Whie.)l ant UllMini,u nnA .l...!.." In ..nn inln ...

This, we assert, is the substance of the laniruanre of Gen. Harrison in regard to a National Bank ; and we appeal to the thousands who have, on various occasions, heard him, for the truth of the statement. In (akine this course Gen. Harrison will fi.llnu. it.. example of Gen. Washington and James Madison, both of whom doubted "Me neeettily and propriety" of chartering a U. S. Bank, as a financial t it.. government, and both of whom Benuiparfiti in tlm .la. cision of the People! representatives in regard to a question which referred itself to the judgment of those ujr wiium H was considered. ELECTION FRAUDS IN PENNSYLVANIA. I ho Statesman, lamentinir over the loss of Panncvl. vania, is publishing a story about frauds in Erie county, copied from the Erie Observer of the tcventctnth, and remarks upon it wilh reference to the Presiden tial election on the thirtieth, as follows: The ahnve alinivi hnu.
