[From the A. O. u ' ] "" Mexico’s Friends i:i the I'nited states. j After all 11«a.L has been said ami vv iu ten in justification of the present .Mexican war, there are still a large number ci pei - sons in the United Stales, wo will not say j a party, who stubbornly persi t in con demning she war as entirely unjustifiable, i The entire history of Mexican aggres sions, the injuries and insults which we have borne from them for years, while carrying on a lawful commerce with them, under the guaranty of a treaty of “amity, commerce, and navigation’ —a treaty which the Mexicans made use of to draw large numbers cf our unfortunate and honest citizens into their territories that they night plunder them of their* property. Their repealed violation of treaties, their shameful excuses and de cays in the performance of their promise -, ell these, w it!) a certain class of men in tltts country, avail nothing, and are de clared to bo no justification whatever of the present war. They even deny in into the whole cf the above charges against Mexico, and insanely declare the present war without a solitary justification. For ‘the present we shall only name two of the leading journals in the United States who are engaged in tin's mad op position to the present war— ihe National Intelligencer and *he Boston Allas, two ot the most able id powerful journals in our countrv, journals for winch w’o have always entertained the highest respect, but which since the commencement cf the present war,have absolutely run mad and disgraced themselves by the weak, trifling, and wo may say, insane course which they have pursued. These journals, for the purpose of sus taining the position which they have as sumed, that of defending Mexico, have denied the plainest and best established facts, both in reference to the immediate cause of the war. and the conduct of the Mexicans in their intercourse with us .previous to the war. Strange as it may appear to all acquainted with the plain and undeniable facts, the Boston’Allas, of the 15th instant, positively denies that the entire amount of the just claims of the United States against Mexico is as much as SBOO,OOOI The same journal denies that Mexico lias been guilty of the amount ofinpiry with which we charge her.— “We believe,” says the Atlas, “that Mexico has received u thousand fold deeper injuries from us tiian we have ever received from her! ’ The Allas devotes a long article of more than a column to the defence of Mexico, anti if it had been written by the editor of El Republicano himself it could not have been more tho roughly Mexican in its character. The talent and ability of the Atlas is undoubted; but when, in the face of the most undeniable facts, facts that have be come a portion of the permanent history of the limes, we see that journal thus de fending live Mexican nation, it is difficult to believe that some lamentable insanity has not seized upon it. After years of the most patient endurance of Mexican insults and injuries, even to our dis grace—after enduring the unlawful seiz ure, by Mexico, of our property, the vio lation of the personal liberty of our citi zens. the repeated insults of our flag in Mexican poits, and injuries that no other nation lias ever quietly endured before, W'e are told by the editors cf the Boston Atlas, that the United States have injured Mexico “a thousand fold” more tiian she has injured the United States, and that W’e have no ju&l cause fur war! The National Intelligencer, too, is en gaged in the same abominable defence of the perfidious Mexicans, and there are many other journals, of less calibre, how ever, in the country, employed in the same unholy cause. Mexico has, in so ber truth, more powerful defenders of her cause here, in oar very midst, than in Mexi co itself! for there are no advocates of her cause, in Mexico, as able as the above mentioned journals. We would advise the editors of the National Intelli gencer and Boston Atlas, to pack up their types, and take ship for Mexico as fast as possible. Mexico is at the present mo- ' ment in great want of help, and we think we are fully warranted in presuming that they would hail the advent of such able editors and defenders as a most ex- i traordinary if not miraculous god send. ’ They would only have to change their titles to El Allas, and El Gacefero, and | the Mexicans would he animated with new courage. The Mexican clergy i would strip their churches to pay them for their services, and shed their last | blood to defend them. The editors, too, : would doubtless breath more freely than they do here, and gain in the defence of , their beloved Mexicans both much gold ansl glory. We might than bo certain, too, that' the war would never end, so long at least as their brother Mexicans could defend a foot of ground for them to write on; for if their powerful support at this distance tends so much to prolong the war, how much more powerful would it be were EJ Atlas and El Gacetero in ac • live operation on Mexican soil, and in the very midst of the Mexican people? The other Mexican journals in the Uni- \ ■ ted States vvill excuse us for not mention- | ing their names; but vve can assure thorn that Los Mexicanos duly appreciate their services, and will never lay down their arms so long as such powerful advocates defend them, [From the N.

It has evei been, and still is, my anxious wish tha’ some one of the most experienced, talent ed, and virtuous statesmen of the coun try, should be chosen to that high place at the next election. lam satisfied that, if our friends still do their duty, such a i citizen may be elected. “I must, however, bo allowed to say, that I have not the vanity to consider my self qualified for so high and responsible a station, and whilst we have far more eminent and deserving names before the country, I should prefer to stand aside, if one of them could be raised to the first office in the gift of a free people. “I go for the country, the whole coun try —and it is my ardent and sincere wish to see the individual placed at the head of the nation, who, by a strict observance of the constitution -(be ho whom he may) can make us most prosperous at home, as well as most respected abroad.” Well said old Zack! “I go for the i country —the whole country V* 'Phis is a true American Democratic sentiment, worthy of Washington or Jackson; hut it will find no favor with the abolitionists who compose the mass of the wing party in the middle and northern States—it is i directly opposite to the sentiments a thou stud time expressed by John Q. Adams. Giddings, Grcely, other chiefs and leaders of the whl<^artv. But further,sa vs old Rough and Ready, i I want to see a man at the heady of the ; nation, “who by a STRICT OBSER- I VANCE of the constitution (be ho who ; he may) can make us most prosperous at home, as well as most respected abroad. 5 ' What would become, under General Taylor’s views, of the whig doctrine that the constitution may be so construed as to authorize Congress to do whatever it may deem conducive to the general welfare? It was under this construction that Con gress passed the alien and sedition laws, j the act to incorporate a national bank; j acts to construct works of fanciful im provement in tl e body of a state, even against the consent of such State. Old Rough and Ready declares that he wants r» - the president of’the United Slates, (be be who lie may) to steer his conduct of public affairs by a STRICT OBSER VANCE of the constitution—consequent ly he justly stamps all implied powers under his feet — and what but implied j powers gave Congress authority to create a national bank, to make internal im provements, to divide the money arising from sales of the public lands among the several States —and to adopt several other important and favorite measures of our whig brethren? To come to the point—Does or can any one doubt, after perusing the foregoing epistle from General Taylor, that if chief magistrate of the Union, he would, like ! his valued friend General Jackson, put the presidential veto upon a bill to create a national Bank? A thousand dollars to a dime lie would do it. The advocates of a national bank never pretended that Congress derived authority to create sue!) a:t institution from a plain and strict in terpretation of the constitution—they have 1 ever admitted that the power to do so was implied and constructive. Certain, it is | no such power is given by the constilu- I tion, and equally certain that the conven tion who framed the constitution positive i ly refused to cloth Congress with power | to establish a bank or to create a corpora tion of any kind. It is the doctrine of | Jefferson, Jackson and the whole Demo cracy that Congress possess no such povv. ; er—and such is the doctrine of Zachary i Taylor. The nomination of General Taylor has made a sad - bodge-podge of j the whig concerns. [From the Federal Unionist Inst.] This annunciation is found at the mast head of the Southern Recorder; FOR PRESIDENT. Cieu. Zachary Taylor. It is accompanied also, with the de claration, “He is the candidate of the Whig party, by the acclamation of the people.” How, vve respectfully ask, what evidence have the vvhigs that he is T-yymanaaMKfaracr: ‘ imtfiCTCTO one of ihem—that ha is the advocate of any of the principles, concerning which they have prated so liberally? All lliev know concerning him, is, that rumor af firms, that noon some occasion, he de clared, that if he had voted at the last pre sidential election, he would have cast his vote for Mr. Clay. But, rumor has also affirmed, that even this declaration was qualified by the remark, that this prr- Terence was based solely upon personal considerations. On the other hand, it is h “fixed fact,” that lie actually did vote for General Jackson, that he sustained . his administration, and zealously advo-T cated his measures. Has not rumor too affirmed, that his son-in-law, Gen. Jaffar- j son Davis, and his own son, have openly I declared, that he even has been, and still ; • is, an uncompromising opponent of a pro tective tariff, and of a national bank; in ; short, t'fat he is a Democrat of the Heifer <on and Jackson school. With all these | facts before them, how is it then, thet ; 1 Gen. Tavlor is the candidate of the ; • whig parts ? fl ) they think so little of their principles that they tire willing to sacrifice them all upon toe altar of their i ambition? Is their love for Cenmr so , strong, that they have lost all affect j for Rome? Have the triumphs of Gen. Taylor, in the war that they regard as | unjust, inhuman, and infamous, been so glorious, that he must he rewarded, even at the sacrifice of those great measures, upon, which in them estimation, depend th.* welfare and glory of the country; ■ Or, can it he, that the whig party have j suddenly become enamored with demo cratio principles, and are preparing to adandon protective tariffs, banks and all the federal heresies which for the last few years they have so zeal ously sus ained ? The proposition by the whig party of Georgia, to adopt Gen. laylor as their candidate for the Presidency, is in .per feel keeping with the policy they have heretofore purposed. If any proof were required to establish the position, that they have no principles, or if they have, \ that they care not a fig for them, it can be found in this recent movement. They have net the slighest evidence that this new idol cf their affections, would sus tain a single measure with which they ! arc identified. Notwithstanding this. ’ with a “generous confidence” and an eye single to the spoils, they rally around his standard. They have been against a tariff and for it, for and against a bank, for an i against annexation, indeed they I have boxed the political compass. And j what is’ the position they have now as j sumed? With the bitterest denunciations 1 au 8 with the most unyielding preseve ranee they have opposed the war with Mexico, and now forsooth, because one of its generals has covered himselfand his country with .glory, they are striving to identify themselves with him, and upon his Uiumphs ride info power. Was there ever a party in this or any other country, j whose career has marked with such I unblushing effrontry, with such disgrace, j ful duplicity, and with suer. enure • abandonment of the slightest devotion to principle or regard for consistency ■ Yet with all this, they call themselves the conservatives, and would have the world believe that truth, and virtue, and decency and patriotism can be found only in their ranks. [ From ihe N. C. Delta, 2Sth vti.] The ! -ft Xewj) from VSexico -Gtm ra J Scotl'4 Advance* The advance of cur army to Puebla takes us a little by surprise. From the previous ac conn's we were led to think that Gen. Scott had changed Ids designs after the departure of the ok! volunteers, and would remain in Jalapa, with bis vanguard at Perote. But it appears our first opinion, that he would push on-without waiting for reinforcements, is the j most correct. Gen. Worth has entered the j large town of Puebla, and received the cour- | tesies of the High D.gnitanes of the Church j —the most potential authorities in Mexico. I Santa Anna,'in the meantime, abandoning his j position at Orizaba, has pushed ahead of j Worth, with his usual promptitude and rapidi ty, on the road from Puebla to Mexico. We 1 thought that his object would be to harass ! the rear of Gen. Hcott, to cut off his com munications, and capture his trams \v:ih guerr Ila parties. But it is rumored, and the lone of the Mexican papers gives color to the report, that his reputation and political in- 1 fluence in the capital require looking after. ; Besides, an election for ttie Presidency, and the formation of a new 7 administration, are to ’ take place, and Santa Anna has, no doubt, some ambition to take part in these important affairs. | It is said he has 10,000 men with him, and i will make another stand at a formidable point j in the road—at Rio Frio. This is one of the ; most dangerous and difficult passes which j our army will have to m ike. The road, for for some distance beyond Puebla, is excellent, . but near Cordova it reaches the mountains, : and passed through deep, narrow defiles and | over steep and nigged heights. The country is wild looking’ thinly wooded with oaks and pines, and rendered very rough and uneven . by rocks of lava and porphyry. Near Tes- | melucos, a little village or hacienda, the road , begins to wind along the side of the mountain, j in many places being cut through solid rocks. Here the road is commanded by the heights j of Popocatapell, which, if occupied by a strong battery, would render the passage of an army over this steep,rugged, and exposed ascent, a task of very great danger and dif ficulty. But. even when the heights are passsed, the perils and obstacles of the posi tion are not entirely surmounts; for the road descends into a deep narrow dell, where a j small and brave force might operate with : great effect upon a large army accompanied | by long trains and parks of artillery. This doll is traversed by the Rio Frio (Cold River,) where our brave soldiers may assuage their thirst after the labors of this difficult passage. The Rio Frio is the only point on the road, between Puebla and Mexico, which is likely to give our army any trouble. It is midway j between the two cities; when it is passed, the | road to the capital is smooth and delightful, | well watered and well shaded. In some places ! it passe»for miles between parallel canals and : rows of Lombardy poplars. 1 If Santa Anna makes his stand at Rto Frio with an adequate artillery force and complete batteries, our army will have to fight perhaps the most serious, bloody, and destructive bat tle which has yet been fought. There will be no want of men in this thickly settled part of the country to back Santa Anna in this last stand which the Mexicans will have j an opportunity of making. There will be 1 some difficulty, however, in arming all who may present themselves, and in furnishing the works with good cannon. But we pre sume that the commissioners appointed in i Mexico, with Almonte at their head, to super intend the defences of the capital, have pro , babiy selected the Rio Frio as the only avail- j P able point of defence against an army ap -1 preaching the capital, and have probably re moved thither the cannon intended for the 1 defence of the city. The account of another battle, therefore may be expected in a few days. Os tlie result we have no fears—nur j only apprehension is, (hat another glorious j victory will be purchased at a greattacrifice ! of valuable lives. isnir _ : THI RSDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, !■;: o“\Ve publish in another column, anarli ; cle from the New O.leans Mercury, a neutral j print, to which we would call the attention of our readers—and particularly some whig | editors in this section of country.

The Athens Aanncrot the Ist inst. says; Those destructive visitants have recently prevailed throuhg almost every section of Georgia. 1 hey have in many places heat down t lie growing crops of corn and cotton to the extent rendering it ne cessary to plough up and replant. Whilst we have in this vicinity escaped these ministers of de i vastation, we have been admonished by tile un usual coldness of the atmosphere, during the months of April and May, of their prevalence—so true is the old adage, when we have unusua’ly j cold days in the spring and summer, that ; there ! lias been hail somewhere.” AVe had many I gloomy accounts of the crops in the adjacent counties, previous to the lute copious and refresh, ing rains.

It is an advan ' tage—as vve had abundant evidence in the crop before last, when many farmers before harvest i thought they would not reap the amount of seed j sown, hut notwithstanding gathered abundant j crops. Corn is yet subject to its greatest contin gency about earing time, but now looks protnis ing.

I'diiing a Newspaper. The intelligent editor of the “National In : telligencor,” in speaking of the manner in which editors have to work to render their papers popular—alter stating the duties of the ; | writing editor—says; | “But what is the labor, the toil of such a man, who displays his‘leaded matter,’ever so largely, to that imposed on the judicious, well I ; informed editor, who exercises his vocation ! with an hourly consciousness of its respon sibilities and its duties, and devotes himself • to the conduct of his paper with the same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit, or a humane physician upon a patient, without regard to show or dis play! Indeed, the mere writ ing part, of editing a paper is but a small portion of the work. I The care, the time employed in selecting, is j far more important—and the tact of a good editor is better shown by his selections than | by any thing else; —and that, we all know, | is half the battle.—But as we have said, an ’ editor ought to be estimated and his labors understood and appreciated, by the general , conduct of his paper, its tone, its temper, its uniform consistent course, its principle*, its aim, its manliness, its dignity, its prosperity. To preserve these as they should be preserv-* ed, is enough to occupy fully the time and at tention ofany man.
