The customs, revenue, excise, income, direct or in any other shape, will only have the ultimate effect of being paid by the producers of wc tlth. There is no other mode of paying. Ti e Federal Constitution prescribes that no direct tax shall be levied except in proportion to representative numbers. Now, according to representative numbers, the relation of New York to the existing debt Is as. follows: Int. snd expense per annum iJral JeU ,$124,QOO'000 lil.OoO.OOO Kitte debt P,0P0,WW)l City debt 2o.5l0.lK)o U.OOO.OOO Total Sll-f .5 10,000 Perst;aUe,..J7I6 $:i7,ooi),o)o , 42,000,000

The great mass of the people wore always on the defen-'ve, agahist those who wanted bank, or protection, or bounties, or internal improvements, or special privileges of some dee-nption. The whole people p.rcfcnted a solid phalanx called the Democratic party. The restless mitnTity took anew name with every attempt upon the Constitution and popular rights.

tne necessity irom aysentery, uiairnea, or other cause, and, ot course, the result ot such baroanty can be better immagiLCd than described. These men are fed through the bars, taking the meat and bread in their fingers, no knives or forks being allowed. Spvn are allowed once a day, when they have soup. No blankets are allowed them unless they have one themselves when placed there, but few of them arc thus fortunate; they have therefore to lie upon the naked floor with the exception of the accumulations -jf Slth and mud before referred to. The Doctor informed me that by laying them upon their sides in spoon fashion, and by close packing, putting the heads of one row upon the bodies of the row iu front, he coul 1 pack forty. five in the pen; the rc.t are now taken out and chained to tre6a until the-e forty-five have had some sleep, and then they were transferred. The only mode of cleaning the apartment I was by running in Croton water, from a hose through the slats, which forced the bones, pork-skins, potatoe-skins, &c, to the back and corner of the room, and as it is nearly level they remain there, and in sonic places arc near an inch or two in depth. The men are covered with lice and vermin, and the stench was almost unbearable. Dr. Blauvelt, who was in attendance, aud who is a kind hcarte I, honest, faithful man, informed me that he had repeatedly rvported the nui&anee asraphically as possible to his superior clTi ers, General Hays and General Pix, and demanded redress, but up to the present time without avail. General Dix himself personally visited this place a few days since, aud can, therefore, certify to the accuracy of my description. Thispeatdiolc is an outrage cn humanity, a burning disgrace to any nation, and oujrht not for a moment to Lc tolerated. If ihcGeueral Government chooses thus to outrage humanity, and treat their to'diers wor.se than wild beasts, in God's name let them take thcra away from the c:ty and put them v.1 Government property, and thus .tssumc the responsibility for the out - rage, but do not permit the city any longer to be disgraced by allowing them to occupy its grouuds, aud on them practice such horrid barbarities.
