<i» not excuse Mexico for this refusal to reccivi
our minister. It was a very frivolous piece o
false prlile, but very much in character with al
her other follies connected with this quarrel
Hut certainly this refusal to receive a miniate
was nut war.
On the 13th of January, 1846, whilst the
question of the reception of the Minister wm
vet pending, and before it was known whelhei
Mexico would receive him or not. and at a fmu
when there was no expectation of an iuvasior
from Mexico—and mure to be noted than any
thing else —at a time irken the Congress of thi
Vailed States teas in session, the I'resideut, pri
vately. without communicating one syllable tc
Congress, or giving any hint of the event tc
either branch of the national legislature, to whom
alone the Constitution has confided the great
and inoinentona power of making war—in these
circumstances and on this day. Mr. Polk am
thorized Mr. Marcy to write to Gen. Taylor—
“ I am directed by the President to instruct you
to advance and occupy, with the troops under
your command, positions on or near the easl
hank ot the Rio del Norte, as soon as it can
conveniently be done, with reference to the
season and routes by which your movements
must be made. I rout the views heretofore pre
sented to Ibis department, it is presumed Point
Isabel will be considered by yon an eligible po
sition. this point, orsomeone near it. and points
apposite Matamoros and Mier. and in the ririni
tyoj l.oredo, are suggested to vour considera
tion.
Can any friend of Mr. Polk s answer the
question, why Congress was not consulted
when the decisive step was taken I Here was
■i i lear. unequivocal repudiation of all onr pre
vions pledges in regard to the question
ol the boundary to the Km del Norte—
lien* wan an order lo occupy a country which
ttw at admitted was under the jurisdiction ol
Mexico, and in which a Mexican town, on the
leit or eastern hank of the Kio del Norte —the
town ot Loredo, containing fifteen hundred in
habitants—was specially designated as one of
the positions lor the army: here was, in short,
an invasion of Mexico—just such an invasion as
every civilized nation would regard as an act of
war. Suppose the case reversed, and Mexico
had directed her troops to advance to the Nue
ces. and lo occupy a position which should
command one of the villages of Te\a<—what
would ti>iw country have thought of it f Need
I ask ? The declaration would have been uni
versal, that Mexico had began the war, by an
art of flagrant aggression. And yet certainly
Mexico had quite us much right to seize upon
the disputed territory as we had—if* Mr. Ben
ton’s opinion is worth anything —a much better
right.
On the 10th ofMarch. 1840. Gen. Taylor, in
obedience to these orders, commenced his
march from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande.
He arrived at that river on the 28ih. and en
camped opposite Matamoros. What he did
when he arrived there, you will read in his offi
cial despatches. On the tkh of April the Gen.
writes—“On onr side a battery for four eigh
teen pounders will be completed, and the guns
placed in battery to-day. These guns bear di
rectly upon the public square of Matamoros, and
irithin good range fur demolishing the toicn. —
Their object cannot be mistaken by the enemy!”
Remember that when that letter was written
there had been no collision—not a shot had been
tired, not a man made prisoner.
And yet we are told that this act was not an
act ol war ’ —that this marching of an army into
what we are pleased lo call disputed territory,’
hut which confessedly, was. and always hud
been in the actual occupation of (he people of
Mexico and under the jurisdiction of that conn
t y : —this marching of an army there: —this
pointing of cannon into the homesteads of the in
habitants of Matamoros. the capital of Tama til i
pa- ; —was nut an act of war!! Collisions en
sued. How could it be otherwise, with these
gun- pointing into the window s of Matamoros ?
me- were in motion, and u was not long un
til Mood was spilt. \V hat a pitiful and unmaii
ly equivocation was it. for the President to say,
after tin- aggression on his part, that war exists
by th< act of Mexico ' tie had failed in his du
ty when he tailed lo submit the question of in
vasion. which icas a question of tear, to Congress.
And when he found tliat he had brought our lit
tle army into peril by it, it was a mere trick l«
nd himself of the responsibility he bad so rashly
as-nined. to throw the blame of the war upon
MeXICO.
rtit'.e letters have grown too long to allow
Il,e ni'irh space for comment on these transac
tion-. ami a- I prefer democratic authority in
thl * ,n any other, I shall close the narra
the events which belong to the origin of
the »v tr. by a few extracts from a distinguished
writer on the democratic side, who was once
!!!■• editor ol a democratic magazine, and who
a- tiles- extracts will show, was a friend and
supporter of Mr. Polk's election.
I i'toie -oin« passages from an article, in
lirow ns.m S Quarterly Review, en the Mexican
W tr. published in July last aud written by Mr.
Brownsun himself:
• Por ourselves”—he says—“we have re
garded the Mexican war as uncalled for, im
politic and unjust. We have examined the doc
ument- ; dished by order of tile Government,
k |l ,:iV ‘ j the Olficial defence of the war in
lb- laslatt . >al message of tiie President to Con
gress. iml .t nil every to tlmi «»nr cso-
V eminent in the right : but vve are hound to sav
that our original impressions have been
strengthened, rather than weakened.”
• - * ...
The act of Mexico in crossing the Rio
Grinds, and engaging onr troops on territory
w inch site bad possessed aud still claimed as
hers, but which vve asserted had. by a recent
act against which she had protested, become
ours. —the act which the President chose to in
form Congress and the world was war—mav
or may not have been a just cause fur declar
ing war against her, bill it assuredly was not
war itself.”
And again :
•• No sophistry can make her act war—cer
tainly not w ithout conceding thatour act in tak
ing military possession of that territory was also
war; and if that was war, if it existed al all, ex
isted by onr act and not by hers, for her act was
consequent upon ours. The most that the Pre
sident was al liberty to say. without condemn
ing his own guv eminent, was, that there had
been a collision of the forces of the two repub
lics on a territory claimed by each ; hut this col
lision he had no right lo term war, for every
body knows that it takes something mure than
a collision of the respective forces on a disputed
erritory to constitute a war between two civili
zed nations. In no possible point of view was
the announcement oftlie President, that war
existed between the two republics, and exist
ed by the act of Mexico, correct. Il did not
exist at all; or if it did. it existed by onr act. In
either ca-e the official announcement was false,
and cannot be defended
” The course the President should have pur
sued isplain and obvious. On learning the
Slate of things on the frontier, the critical con
dition of onr army of occupation, he should
have demanded of Congress the reinforcements
and supplies necessary to relieve it and secure
the purpose for which it was avowedly sent to
the Riu Grande : and, it he believed it proper
or necessary, to have in addition laid before
Congress a full and truthful statement of onr
relations with Mexico, including all the unad
justed complaints, past and present, we had
.tg.iiii-t tier, accompanied by the recommenda
tion ofa declaration of war. He would then
have kept within the limits of his duty, proved
hiinselfaplain constitutional President, and left
the responsibility of war or no war lo Congress,
the only war making power known to the liws.
Congress, alter mature deliberation, irvqtht or
might not have declared war-most likely
would not ; but whether so or not, the respon
sibility would have resulted with it, and no
blame would have attached to the President.
I. lih-ippily. tins course dui not occur to the
I re-id-nl, or was 100 plain and simple to meet
ns approbation. As if fearful, if Congress de
liberattd. it might refuse to declare war, and as
it determined to have war at any rale, he pre
sented to Congress, nut the true issue, wheth
er w~r should or should not he declared—hit
the lalse issue, whether Congress would grant
b..., O.e menus nr prosecuting a war waged
against O. by a foreign power. 1,. the true
i-ue Congress might have hesitnied-in the
one actually presented there was no room to
hesitate, il the official announcement of the Pim
Mdent was to he credited, and hesitation wouhh
have been criminal. %
■ By declaring that the war already existed,
and by the act of Mexico herself, the President
relieved Congress of the responsibility of the
war. by throwing it on Mexico. But since hr.
cannot fasten it on Mexico,—liir war did nan
already exist, or if so, by onr act, and nut her *

Northern Democracy.
’ There seems to he a studied effort on the
l»S . i
er part of ninny Democratic journals at the South
le lo misunderstand, if not misrepresent,the posi
tion of Northern Democracy on the VVilniot
Proviso. It is generally understood in Penn
i- sylvania that Mr. Hhunk, who received some
•° 19,000 majority in that State, is himself a deci
le ded Proviso man Certain it is, that ho owes
■U his election to the votes and earnest support of
ie Mr. Wilmot and the other Democratic mem
hers of Congress, who advocate the Proviso.—
~ The resolutions on this subject of the Demo
.r crals in the Legislature, are decisive on this
st question ; and will be again at its next session,
n if it he agitated. With what appearance of
tg truth can the Eufaula Democrat use language
x. like the following:
it “ We are most firmly jiorsuaded that all things will
j. yot go well, il the South will only stand by those Dem
is ocrats in the N*»rth who are now so nobly lighting her
j. battles. The smoke has scarcely cleared away from
I. the fields ot strife in Pennsylvania, and we behold a
majority of some ‘20,000 in favor of the constitution
and Us compromises, against Whigs, abolitionists, and
I Wilmot Proviso men. The sturdy Democracy of that
d Stale, headed by Dallas and Hnchanan, has placet!
IS the Sooth under a debt of everlasting gratitude That
!■ the unyielding Democracy of the North, are the firm
II friends of the South, is a tact so prominent, that ho
inuixt, indeed, be blind, who does not see it. Let the
h South cheer them on. Ixet the battle rage, so that
,1* fishy, Wilmot Proviso Democrats of the North, with
Flagg and John Van Huron at their head, may go over
to the abolitionists, where they belong. If Southern
Whigs will stand uplo Northern Democracy Wilmot
anil his whole clan may at any time ask 'lie benefit of
'* their |>oliiical habeas corpus. ”
s The idea of “ Southern Whigs standing up
,f to Northern Democracy ” on the question of
extending slavery lo any territory lo be acqtiir-
ed of Mexico is worse than ridiculous. There
! is not a county in a free State, where, if the na-
I ked question of establishing the institution with
its three-fifths representation and political pow
er in any new territory were presented, it could
x coni maud one third of the votes of any party.
* The fact is well known to every intelligent
man. and every candid one will acknowledge
! it. that all parties in the free Stales are opposed
j to its extension to new territory. It is as need
less to inquire why this i» mo. »» »•* (
j wrong to attempt lo conceal the truth in the
case. In the present state of public feeling, •
both at the South and the North, we do not he
lieve it possible lo adopt the Missouri com- (
* promise, in regard lo the occupancy and settle- j
menl of any Mexican territory. Undoubtedly '
au effort will be made for that purpose : hut the
people of the North very well understand tliat j
the territory west of Arkansas and Missouri, |
and North of;U3£ degrees, is worthless. On the i
other hand, it will be hard to persuade the plan- :
lers of the South, that Congress has a right to '
forbid their emigration with their servants to ,
any territory, whether North or South of |
degrees, which their blood and treasure have
so dearly purchased of Mexico. Yet we be- *
lieve a majority would be willing to adopt the
Missouri compromise; but the South is in a t
minority, ami cannot carry the measure with- ?
out the aid ol votes from the free States, which *
we do not believe can be obtained What then, *
is lo be done ? Simply, to avoid this most j
threatening controversy between the Free and (
Slave Stales, by taking no territory whatever.
The paper from which we copy the above s
affects to regard this opposition to the acquisi- I
lion of more territory as an “attack on the H
South. ,r Speaking of Southern Whigs, it i
says: •* Some of them still say, no more terri
tory—not stopping, we are willing to believe, J
to retied that it is an attack on the South, but (
merely because it comes in the shape ofa par
ly issue, because it may contribute lo the sue- t
cess of a party or elect a President. ” c
The election of a President by either party
is less than dust in the balance, when weighed i
against a dissolution of the Union, and possible c
civil war. No one can tell where Mr. Polk’s
invasion of Mexico is lo end. If we get no 1
° l
spoils, (and we need none, if vve deserve them) ,
we shall avoid the calamity of a family quarrel i
about their division. 1

Remarkable Exhibition of Whl*f Bitter- “
UCUi”
Under this imposing head, the Savannah tl
Georgian has a long article, based upon the in- *
formation tliat “ the Whigs of the town of s
Auburn, at the head of the Montgomery Rail- h
road in Alabama, upon the reception of the r
rumor of Mr. Po lk’s death, actually illuminated
their houses byway of public rejoicing at the j
event.” r
The editor might have bottled his wrath a 1
little longer, Ls lie had wailed to ascertain the (
truth of the story. Our attention was called 1
to the article of the Georgian by a gentleman
from Alabama, who was at Auburn the day after ‘
the news of Mr. Polk’s death reached the in, aud |
whose intimate relations with the Railroad
would render him familiar with such a dis- I
graceful scene had it occured at any time,
who informs us that the Editor of the Georgian
has certainly beou hoaxed ; that nothing of the
sort occurred.

The Georgia Volcano.
i V day or two since, we alluded to the exis
tence of a Volcano on the line of Walker and
Dade County in this Slate, a notice of which
had been published by the Dalton Eagle. The
following is the account given by that paper,
which, however, seems not to be very aiithen
lie; indeed, to smack of a hoax :
“ Great excitement and alarm prevails al pceseut
among the inhabitants of Walker and Dade counties,
• produced by n burning volcano, which is said to have
bursted out from among the high peaks of the Loukoui
Mountain at a place called the ‘narrows, ’ on the l!)th
OrtoEer. We understand that many of those whore
sided on the mountain and in the neighborhood, have
abani lotted their homes, and if not gone into ‘ a far
count ry, ’ have at least placed themselves out of harm’s
way.
“A grave looking gentleman Irom Walker, called
on us one day this week to give us the full particulars,
who nr tilted that on the day above mentioned, a series
of sou nds resembling the noise of distant thunder, ac
coiup lined with a sli<;lit shaking of the earth, were
distil icily heard in Walker and Dade, and by many
port* »ns in this county. That twoor three days after
war ils the cause was ascertained lo be whui we have
already stated; and that the report and effects of the
«nxt[»tion in its immediate neighborhood were terrible*
beyond description. Enormous rucks were thrown
from the m»«intnin into the valleys below, and many 1
••■her strange and ptwcrlul things done which we
j; hnre not time to enumerate or describe.

jgiven by our Walker county friend.”

* since, one of the speakers, Mr. J. R. Ingersoll
of Philadelphia, having referred to several dis

; In this connexion, (the Hon. gentleman then
* went on lo remark) 1 may he allowed to al
lude to one other name, in addition to those
« 1 some time ago referred to, which lam well
e aware is dearly cherished. [Here the whole
r ~ , assembly, although no name had been mention
ed, burst forth into the most enthusiastic and
G long protracted cheering and applause; and

Mr. Ingersoll, in conclusion, earnestly im
pressed upon the assembly the necessity of
ie, harmony and cordial good feeling. He said
r’s that the eyes of the whole nation were turned

his fellow Whig* to display such unaninir

Increased Speed on Railways.— The latest
English papers give some account of an engine
which has recently been invented fur the main
tenance of high speed upon railways of narrow
gunge. It has been put in operation with the
fullest success. The peculiarities of the engine
consists chiefly in the disposition of the wheels,
which permits them lo support the wear and
weight ofa locomotive apparatus of far grcalei
power than any previously used, while ul the
same lime the weight of il is so distributed t al
(he centre of gravity is placed much lower than
usual. To these advantages are added the cor
responding power of using driving wheels ol
any diameter, together with the great advantage
of bringing the largest portion of the entire
weight of the engines to bear upon the extreme
wheels. The engine has run thirty miles il
thirty-three minutes, including the time lost “it

neiirand Cherry streets. New York. The object
wna watched fora conniderahle time, when it be
gan to descend, and was discovered to be a man,
Mr. Jesse Combs, of (UK) Water street. He
had nothing on his person hut a shirt and draw
ers, and on his reaching the ground he ran
(jiiitc a long distance before he could be over
taken. He was then conveyed to the station
house, when he appeared perfectly rational,
but had not the least recollection of what had
taken place. He had retired to bed at an ear

window. The pole which he ascended was
one hundred and twenty-five feet high. A more

They kept well together around, and made the
jfirit mile in five minutes and twenty-five se

•were a little slower, but the running was very
(even,.andthe men all looked fresh mid in fine
, condition. For the next four miles the run
ning capital, and there was nothing in the speed
i or appearance of the men upon which to found
i » conjecture of the result.
On the first quarter of the eighth mile Simon
alias Smoke, dashed ahead of tiildersleeve, at
a great pace, and soon opened a large gap up*
. onh,m - Armstrong and Canada followed di
rectly, and they came in twenty-eight seconds
I ®h® a d ol the while man. doing the mile in five
minutes thirty-two seconds. On the ninth mile
it was obvious that the three Indians had it ail
to themselves, and the only strife was between
> Canada and Simon. They both ran beautiful-
Iv, without fatigue or exertion, and when they
started on the last mile there was nothing to in
dicate that they had yet put forth their powers,
and Armstrong was dose upon them, running
with great ease and speed. The tenth mile
was made in live minutes thirty seconds, Si

Canada—Armstrong six or eight rods behind.

scheme of Secretary Walker, to till our treasu

wisdom and sagacity ofhis plans, have all been
realized in his triumphant progress from Vera

ihe capital of Mexico. With a force compara
tively insignificant, he has encountered and
successfully surmounted every obstacle, and
lives, at last, to hearthe plaudits of bis country

Bonie prominent individuals at Washington,
with Vire-PreHideiit Dallas at their be-id, to pur
chase Mount Vernon for the United States, so
that the people may have the right of visiting
the mansion and tomb of Washington at all

:o John A. Wiishinton for tins purpose. The
Baltimore Clipper says that Inst December Mr.
Washington replied that Gen Washington,
1 "ho bequeathed it to John A. Washington (ike
father of Hie present John A.) who at bis death
left it to Mrs. Jane C. Washington, and on
powered her to sell it to the General Govern
ment of the United States, if the Government
desired to purchase, and she thought it advisa
ble for the interests of her children, to sell it.
Mrs. Jane C. Washington is now living, and is
the present proprietor of Mount Vernon. She
authorized her son to say that the Government
can obtain 150 acres of Mount Vernon, to in
clude the buildings, grounds, mid tomb, on the
terms: I. That the remains of Washington,
and of every other member of the family now
in the family vault Mount Vernon, shall ne
ver be removed from their present resting
place. 2. Every member of the Washington
family now living, (and no one else A who may
desire it, may be buried there, and shall not
be removed afterwards. 3. The Government
shall never sell, rent, nor give the whole or any
portion of the properly that may be conveyed,
to any third person. 4. In the event of a dis
solution oftho existing Federal Government,
the property shall revert to the heirs of John

The “Gorgon Knot.”—ln the Inst number
of the Journal, the Editor, in speaking of the
difficulties which environ the question. What
shall he done wish Mexico? says he goes “for
cutting the Gorgon knot with the sword.” Now
we suppose the allusion intended was to
the Gordian knot cut by Alexander, hut the
mistake affords as truthful a representation of
the fearful condition of affairs connected with
this war as could well he exhibited. They are
in a Gorgon knot. The Gorgons, so ihe my
thologists tell us, were three sisters whose heads
were entwined with serpents. Perseus attack
ed them, obtained an easy victory, and cut off
the head of Medusa, one of the sisters, and took
it away as a trophy. Whilst he was returning
from the com/nest, the. drops of blood trhirh fell to
the ground from the head trere changed into srr
pents, which have ever since infested the. country

of serpents which are yet to spring into life
from the falling drops of blood.— Wilmington

Mr. Buchanan.—The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, who pretends
to be behind the scenes, and probably is. in a

that his name shall he used as a candidate for

of his nomination, reward “ the great moral
crime” of which he was guilty in opposing the
last war, by aiding in the elevation of *• a moral
traitor” of that time to the Presidency T If so.
it might as well cease writing its long and learn
ed essays upon the “moral treason” of “ the
Mexican Whigs”—for w e think it can he shown
that if the lath r arc traitors, those who opposed
the war of 1812. when onr own soil was pollu

’ It will he seen that not a word in said about
i
s the Proviso. It was the “support of the
War.” of the “ Federal Administration” on
which the contest turned. The Argus copied
* the following sentiments us the Whigs, as put
’ forth hy an immense ratification meeting of Ihe
1 party in the city of New York:
, / “We condemn die lust of territorial aggrandize-
S men!, which was the original cause of ilijh war, and
which now dictates its continuance. M
I “ We deplore each day of such continuance us an
additional calamity.”
“ We will do all in our power to terminate this un-
I natural conflict.” j
f “We trust the day ia not di-tant when they [our
i little army in Mexico] will he called home.”
i “We call upon all citizens who loathe carnage,
violence, debt and devastation, to coin** to the polh
next Tuesday, and vote for the Whig cause and can
didates.”
The reader now has a plain statement of die
, main issue, as voluntarily made up hy both par
- ties. The truth is, that the War is exceedingly
unpopular. The intelligent voter* of New
, Y ork know that there was no necessity for or
* dering our troops from Corpus Chrisli to die
city of Matamoros—no reasonable excuse for
* invading Mexican settlement* hy a hostile army
No sophistry, no cunningly deviled false
i hood in regard to what constitutes our true
I glory, or what is “ our mission on this conli-
J nenl,” can possibly justify President Polk in
t commencing hostilities hy marching armed sol
s diers into the territory of Mexico. Mr. Cal
houn expressed the honest sentiments of Un
people of New York at the time he was called
on to vole for the lying preamble to the hill au
r thorising a loan of the first ten millions, and die
raising of 50,000 volunteers for the invasion of
5 Mexico, when he said :
f
f “He was prepared to rote the supplies on the
s/H)t without .in hour’s delay, but it wan Just as iin
y possible for him to rote lor that preamble as it wu*
\ to plunge a dagger into hi* own heart , and more

‘ Steam Power In Cities.
0 ‘‘ have from the most undoubted authority I
r tJ very important piece of information m rela
tton to the application of steam power to manu
factures in cities. There isacdv within a dis
(j tgnee of 366 miles from here, of about the size
r of Hartford, whose inhabitants perceived that
l s its population and wealth were becoming sta
■. titulary, if not retrograding, and felt the neces
« #it . v ol * making a combined and resolute effort
so restore and sustain their ancient prosperity.
Accordingly they got up a company with a
capital of $160,606, and erected a steam wool
s leu mill for the manufacture of broadcloths.
‘J The result has far exceeded their most san
‘ gtiiiie expectations. Attbe end of the first year
r this company will have returned to its stork
holders a dividend of $50,606 from the profits,
besides reserving a surplus of slo.o66more.
The success of this effort has given an impulse
1 to the whole business and industry of the place.
K and produced the most salutary and complete
renovation in its condition and prospects
* ! One effect of it will he the immediate erection
11 ol another «team woollen factory, and also
1 of a steam cotton mill, which is to he 356 feel
in length and contain 25.666 spindles. Ml
** this is taking place m an inland town, which
1 is wholly destitute of the central and com
manding position, and of the other advantages
»- for such a business, which this city enjoys, i
u \yiiat an example here is tor Hartford. We
»• hoj>e it will he followed. Hartford Times.
, are confident that steamer power may
e ly very advantageously used m this city for
» Manufacturing purposes. What is to prevent
* lh® cutting of tire-wood on the hanks of the
river and its tributaries above the canal, and
r boating it down the latter at a very cheap rate *
Scow-boats carry 30 cords of wood on the Erie
e Canal in New York, without difficulty, which
is no deeper than the one that cornea into this
r. ci|y
d It can he cut and delivered on hoard of boats
r at 75 cents, and an equal aunt will pay for
transporting it hy water to ateuni mills on the
£ canal. I - ew are aware how rapidly steam is
coming into use for driv mg machinery in north*
° cm cities, such ns Rochester and others, which
possess great and uncmpl ycd hydraulic pow
„ er. For drvuig corn meal for export, (a large
il quantity of which shotilJ he manufactured
f here) steam is the only kind of heat which
ought to he used. 'The quantity of wood ue-
I cessarv to grind and thoroughly dry 106 bar
( rels of corn is small, ns in vr.ilied hr daily ex

If (aayalhe Richmond Whig j it could he
shown that that portion of the Mexican territo

the Administration, were in He If Je-irahle. lor

he transferred to our own. and constitute a
source of revenue hereafter, to he dedicated to
the payment of the debt incurred m the prose
cution ol the war—and «f. in addition to ihi«,
we might get the soil without the ignorant and
turbulent population hy which it is inhabited, an
alien and hostile race, whom it would cost too re
l<> govern I lib if their whole country is worth—
if this could he shown, we might Im* disposed to
subscribe to die position embodied in th«- for* -
going resolution It all this were so, tin object
in view would at least justify a struggle lor •:*
attainment : and. therefore, ib surrender, with
out making an eliort commensurate with it* im
portance, and at whatever hazard, might natu
rally subject ns to the in potation ol that *' Ir \t
which be'raya like trees in.
Bui if* the reverse of ail tins he (rue wou;d
we nut, hy courting (he agitation, un i peril to
(lie perpetuity ot the Union, that mutt ohvioti -
ly result from the acquisition of Mexican i»-rri
lory, not only valueless in itself, ho. absolute .
pernicious, if hy the process we are to lr.»n«

ieit, to self reproach, and to the execration id
(he friends ol civil liberty in tin* and .«i 1 other
land*, in (hi* and all coming generation* ' ll
Mexico were “one entire and perfect chryso
lite,” we might well hesitate before, lor the
glory or for the profit ol it* acquisition. w»-
should consent to pul in jeopardy the great
and glorious confederacy formed hy the men of
the Revolution, and which, hy the magic ra
pidity of it-* growth, the consolidation of iu
power and the multiplication of its infinite
-ource* of national and individual prosperity .
ha* more than realized ihe hope* of Ha found
ers. and related the malignant prophecies ol
those who foretold because they desired iU
speedy overthrow. But when mat portion ot
the Mexican Republic demanded hy the l*re»i
dent is described uniformly hy all who have
seen it, as sterile and barren, as if the curse of
God had blasted it. is it wise or patriotic, for the
purpose of securing an red. lo incur the hazard
of forfeiting all ihe hle»*mg* which have result

ated hy its pieservaiion, simply because, if we
decline to do so, our motives may he liable to
liiiaconstructiun, and we may perchance incur
the “derision” of foreign despot* and their
hirelings, in w hose vocabulary Might and Right
are convertible terms ? We think not.
But iu truth the South Carolina resolution is
based upon an erroneous a»*uiupliou. iu argu
ing that the Nor turn people are unanimously
iu favor of the acquisition of'territory, and the
Southern as unanimously averse to it —and
dial for the reason that, it il shall he acquired,
slavery will he forever excluded from it. it
lilts were true, we might, with some show ol
justice he charged with disgraceful timidity,
mid he til subjects for the so much dreaded
“derision of the world.” Bui the fact i
olherwise. A very large proportion of the
people of the uou'slaveholdifig Stales—we
have no doubt a very large majority of them—
are themselves opposed lo ihe dismemberment
of Mexico: and it is remarkable that Uiey are
denounced by the Northern supporters of ter
ritorial acquisition, as being mllue iced hy the
“ threats us the Stare power to dissolve Ihe
L’nioii. just as the Southern opponents of ac
quisition arc charged with being operated upon
by the avowed determination of the ilino: pro
viso advocates to form ut ot it when acquired.
“ a cordon ulTree Stale*. Tbe policy an
nexing to the Union a large portion of' Mexico
is not. we are gra.ilied lo know, couiruv ei led
upon sectional grounds, iu the North as wen
as iu the rioulii, it is opposed upon higher
and broader consideration*, 'i’here, a- well a
here, it i.« objected 10. because of its tendency to
throw the torch of discord among onr»cl*e».
and of the apprehension lint it may lead to a
rupture of the ties which have so long and -*
happily hound us together as “one people.”
