S \ 1J UG£. 1 Jefferson liar racks, .Vo., Jan. S'i, I8»7. f From the Washington I'nion.] The Fropaxoi! Aiinniimcul. Mr. I ierrien, the opposition member i from Georgia, rose on Tuesday in the Senate to propose an unfortunate amend ment to the three million bili. Its simple proposition will animate the enemy, and i its ultimate adoption will be incalculably mischievous, and fatal to our arms and : fatal to peace. The object is to waive all further acquisition of territory, and enter into a negotiation for peace with nhackles upon our hands. This is a ilack ing out f o itotir position w ith a vengeance —an inglorious patching up of a peace with .Mexico —a virtual concession to this inferior power, which is only calculated to disgrace our arms—to humble our na tion—and to invite further aggressions from her, and from all other powers. It is impossible to view t!d< proposition with any sort of patience. It looks like a par ty move, and intended to give the cue to all t'ne federal presses and politicians.— We will not believe that all the opposition members of the Senate will fall into the design, much less that any democratic member will lend it any “aid and com fort.” The amendment of Mr. Berrien is sus ceptible of a variety of objections. In the first place, it is suicidal. It is calcu latrd to defeat the very object which it professes to accomplish. 'Flic mover do sires peace. He wLlies “to terminate the present unhappy contlict on terms which shall secure the just rights and preserve inviolate the national honor of the United St »tes and Mexico.” Now, how does Mr. 1 Berrien propose to attain peace and sc j cure our rights? Why, by parting with the most important w eapon which we can command- We aie to issue a manifesto to the world, that we arc at once to relin quish the fruits of all our victories—ac quire no new territory at the expense of Mexico—and. like the celebrated king of France, march up our troops, and then march them down again. This icise sys tem of Incite*, thus wisely promulgated hy the Senator from Georgia, will have the j direct effect of spiriting up lho Mexicans j in the contest, and stripping them of one , the strongest inducements to make | peace. The conquest and loss of her ter- i ritorv will operate in the strongest man- I ner upon her fears. But here comes the 1 sagacious tactician of Georgia to defeat 1 oil its moral effect. lie tolls the people j of Mexico, “Never care for our conquests; you are in no danger of losing an inch of your territory; the hands of the com mander-in chief of the army are tied up; the treaty making power refuses to se cond his efforts; no treaty will be made to deprive you either of California or of Ne* v Mexico.” Tin's miserable manifesto, is, therefore, calculated to deprive us of one of the principal weapons which w e can wield f>r operating upon the fears of Mexico, and “conquering the peace” winch Mr. Ber rien desires. It deprives her of one of the s'rongest inducements to make peace with us. l’he only way to operate upon the passions of no infatuated and obstinate a people, is to bear down upon them w ith all our force and all our energies—to overrun her territory, as we ha-ve done— to seize her strongholds—to impress her ' with the idea that tire longer this war ■ continues, the greater indemnity we shall ; claim—the more equivalents we shall i require. But, in tire second place, how arc we aide to “secure our just rights?” Shull ‘ we implicitly trust to a treaty of pecunia- : ry indemnity? Are we to pav our unforli’- { nate claimants hy the bonds of government or drafts upon the custom-houses? ■Money*, she has none. Her bonds will be again 1 dishonored, ohe has proved faithless to her past engagements. She has paid but a small part of iho instalments which she j has contracted to nav. We have seen enough of her treaties of indemnity to make us suspicious of another such pe cuniary stipulation. This hailing policy of the senator from Georgia might virtu ally defeat the whole object of the war. -—lt might prevent us from obtainin'; even the semblance of any other form of indemnity. It might even endanger the settlement of our boundary on the Rio Grand. The inordinate pride, the silly national vanity of Mexico, might prompt her to demand of us, humbled and defeat ed, as she might please to consider and to call us, more humiliating conditions. She might idly hope to drive us beyond the Sabine; or to continue the war. If it be thus that we are to obtain peace, and “secure our just rights;” if w e are thus £>ne ijlt to diidaim all the means of guar- ' — Vg-Lfl-U l * • H !!■ ■- ~ » r _ ■ r - xm * -13 U -* antv which her territory holds forth, we j may in vain attempt to obtain peace, or ! secure our lights. The treasure " e have : expended—the blood we have lost—the glory we have won bv our arms, will ho in a great decree sacrificed to a procipi- I late manifesto ot a short sighted policy, i which willonlv defeat the objects of the ; war, and tarnish the honor of the peace. Short-sighted it is. in every respect! We are impressing upon Ivurope the melancholy lesson ot our wrekuess and our distractions. W e arc playing a more ridiculous and fatal game, us | Mexico herself. We abandon her territory without anv adequate equivalent f r our Icgiunaie claims. We may, perhaps, patch no a peace w ith Mexico for the moment; hut how long is it to continue? How long-hall we preserve I hose “peace ful and friendly relations,” which Mr. j • Berrien so much desire-? Fora number j i ot years past we have suffered hy a -cries 1 ot aggressions from that unjust and in- i suiting nation. She has given us just i cause for war, as the Prssident and both , j houses of Congress declared several years I i ago. What will he the effect ot such an j end ot the present war, without making ; her feel that full force of our power, and without obtaining an adequate indemnity for our w rongs? She will cease to respect our character. She will despise our impotence. We shall receive from this obstinate and turbulent neighbor new outrages. We shall thus be provoked to wai'e against her a more bloody and ex on •' pensive war. A system of tac’ics such j as the amendment propose?, end the term? | of peace which it directly recommends j to the United States, will only prccrasti- 1 l natc the evil, and involve us hereafter in •r \ , a new and more ha rassmg contest. '1 lie ; only way to preserve a permanent peace is now to make an impression upon Mexi j co from which she cannot promptly re cover. We must strike, and then she will hear ns. W’e must strike boldly, and then we need not stnke soon or again. Let the federal leaders pursue their 1 indicated policy. The free people of this j country will repudiate and despise it. We are sure that no member of Congress 1 who owes the proper allegiance to the j great cause of the democratic patty, will, so far forget the honor of Ids count ry, the j demands of a gallant people, or his own | to character, as to lend any countenance I to absurd and extraordinary a proposition. ; We hut echo the views of a patriotic peo ple, without regard to party clis'inclions, j when we respectfully call upon Congress promptly to reject and rebuke so un patriotic a project.

Mr. Webster may ! congratulate himself upon the high place 1 which he occupies in the estimation of the ; Mexican people, and his more obscure j coadjutors may also feel proud of the j services which they have rendered to the | public enemy,— N. O. Atlas. A copy of Mr. Webster’s Philadelphia speech was transmitted to Mexico, and gave lively satisfaction. It is fully believed that pie administration of Mr. Polk is tottering to its fall, and that a professed anti-war party must soon come into power. It imagined (hat Polk will save himself by purchasing a peace on any terms which magnanimous Mexico will grant. Some are so extravagantly credulous as to believe that the arms of our government w ill soon be paralyzed by civil war. Opposition articles aie published in most of the newspapers, and are calculated to do more mischief in Mexico than would he the case in almost an other count ry, as there is nothing 100 extravagant for the easy credulity of these people. Mr. Hale, cor respondent of the Now i Orleans Picayune, who arrived here on Friday will) Gen. \\ ortlFs division, fur nished ns with the particulars of a recent murder between Monterey and Camargo. Four men, Grant, .Myers, Bremen and Reynolds, left Camargo for Monterey on the 13lh; on t’no 14th they were attacked about Ghichioni, about twenty miles above Miler, 1«y a gang of armed Mexi cans. At the first fire, Bremen was shot through the neck bone and killed; Grant surrendered, but a gun was soon after . heard, and it is supposed he w as also kill j ed. Myers and Reynolds made their es ; cape — he latter on horse back, unhurt. | Myers unhorsed, received two bullets in j bis body and a severe cut in the head— made Isis escape by rushing into tiie 1 chaparral, after a severe fight with the Mexicans—losing his he rse, gun. pistols, (belonging to Mr. dale) and ail but his clothes.

Mr. Forrest’s' I) amo * on Tuesday evening rri | seemed to take the house by storm. 'I he ap plause was enthusiastic, and many a tearful i eye attested the power of this great actor over the feelings of his audience. « Mr. Oxley, ns Pythias also “brought down the house” with applause almost as enthusi astic. Except in the ana scenes, his acting was very effective. His voice is harsh, and I dissonant, and in lender passages is like j Othello, deficient in “Those soft parts of conversation, ! That chamberers have.” Mrs. Forbes played remarkably well as ; Calanthe, and Mrs. McLean as Hermion. The house was very crowded, and seemed well pleased throughout. Even the dress circle was betrayed from it's usual quiet, and gave audible token of approbation, so neces sary to stimulate and encourage the per formers. The piece was as effective as could bo expected with so small a company and in so small a theatre, when the voice of the prompter, and conversations behind the scenes can be sometimes heard throughout the house. One ludicrous effect of the pau city of actors, occurred in the vote of the : Senate. There were but six Senators pre sent including the President, and when the vote was taken on the proposition to make Dvonisius King, the vole was two in favour, and two besides Damon against. Notwith standing, the President declared the motion j carried. This decision evidently shocked the republican notions of the andicnccassem bled, who believe in the doctrine that the : majority should govern. j The constitution of lowa makes ample provision for a magnificent school fund.

Sir—l have thrown together a few hasty reflections upon the subject of our Mexican j relations, which if you please you ran, if j leisure permits, correct and publish for what i they are worth,as I believe they are in strict | accordance with your own. Having been a careful observer of the movements in and nut of Congress upon j the subject of the Mexican war, I am sur prised that there should be but one opinion amongst us upon that subject. I admit that i the war with Mexico was not intended as a war of conquest, nor the acquisition of | territory. But Mexico chooses to force us I into that measure as the only alternative left j us, as she prefers war to an honorable peace. I No longer should a doubt exist amongst us that tiie war should be considered a war of conquest and the acquisition of territory. It is right, it is just she should atone for her many acts of perfidy and wanton cruelty. I beiieve, if our government does not overturn and revolutionize so base, corrupt and cruel a government when she has the power to do so, she will mistake the indications of Divine Providence. I have no doubt but the lower ing storm of divine justice is now ready to burst upon their devoted heads. Does not the blood of the butchered millions of the -N. -“ - - ' - r* r T^l— -XT.* -K«= , - j re poor natives cry against them? Does not the blood of thousands of our murdered breth ren send up its piliotis wail to heaven against them? and shall justice be longer delayed? Why call such a blood stained crew a sister republic!!? Who is willing to claim sister hood with such a molly crew of worse than ! semi-barbarians, whose inventive faculty in devising means of torture, is enough to put , the cniei savage to the blush. Ihe war should be carried on with all the means our j government possesses, and every foot ol ter ritory acquired should be immediately organ ized bv this government as a part of her ter ritorial dominion. And if necessary push the conquest to the final extinction of their na i tional existence, for the better order, and bet ter government of her debased millions. In | the language of Gen. 'Baylor, say to them “drive us off,” but si ill hold on and go a- : head until the claims of remunerative jus- ‘ (ice arc satisfied. Will tiie Anti-Slavery fa- i natics believe me when I say, if they wish to ameliorate the condition of tiie slaves, lend • their aid in throwing open a spacious coun try adapted to their condition, and instead of , relying on their puny arm of fle*h, leave the emancipation of the slave to divine provi dence, who in due time will accomplish what | poor blind fanatical z°a! never can accom | plish. Surely those who wish to confine tiie slave to circumscribed limits when tiie hi rger the range the better for them—arc their worst enemies. I consider those who are manifesting a determination to prescribe j limits to slaves and their owners, tiie deter | mined enemies of tl.eir country, who are i aiming a deadly blow at the root of the tree of our glorious liberty. May divine provi dence in due time palsy their arm, and work 1 all things (and this among the rest) after the ! counsel of his own will. IL f'oltdn.-—Arcrajf weigkt of bal«». We are indebted to the polite attention of the i Collector of this Port, for a valuable and time ■ ly communication on the relative weight of the b iles of Colton at New Orleans, Mobile and the Atlantic Ports.

The books in our custom-house show only the portion of tbc crop shipped to foreign coun tries. Using this as a basis of calculation, with the Prices Current in the hands of every merchant, the results which tallow have been I obtained. ! At New Orleans-, the average weight of the hales received last year, ending 31st August. 1 1 3-IG. was 450 lit.; and no information u! anv i change this season. At Mobile, it was 459 lb. last season; and so far in this, 4S t lb. At Charleston, last season and this. 3GO lb. At Savannah, it was 415 lb. i?st season, (including Upland and Sea Island.) and 430 so far in this. The Upland has not increased beyond the average of last season, winch was 432 Ib. but the result is due to the small quantity ofFea Island received this season, which does not average much over 300 lb. lo the hade. —Mobile Reai-ter, ITowJUn Jonlcs Tailed.
