This largo stun (though not too large for the in.

than ooediidftM surface and population of the United
States, if considered geographically and dependently
of the country west of the Alleghany mountains.—
But its consideration unrobes every section of the

of the northeast—Maine haring as direct intorcstin

annoyance, and chances daily multiplying against
them of complete discomfiture, they mil from the
Gnlf. The aamilod become the assailants; our na
val force assembles at Tortugas and. Key West It
observes the Oarribean sea,, the Bahama channels
§18,900,000 arid the Florida stream.. It overlooks Nassau, Jamai
ca and the windward islands'of the enemy. Those
possessions lie at our very mercy unless he guards
them; we bold his naval force in check there. It is
not our policy to attack them. We are ready in the
meantime to move our naval forces down the Florida
stream along the Atlantic coast in strength sulficicnt
to relieve all probable blockades; to afford convoy to
vessels going in and out of the Gulf and to form junc
tions with the naval farces of the north, by which
they become strong enough to drive the enemy into
surrender.or to their ports of Halifax and Bermuda.
So that the strategy duo to the Mexican sea has di
rect effect on that of the north and couth Atlantic.—
May not the grand valient of the Gulf indeed be con
sidered the statgetic point of the cohntty t
1st During operations and observations in the
Gulf of Mexico, and at its grand salient, a considera
ble portion of the enemy's fleet is detached from his
home shores; from the Atlantic; from the protection
of his commerce and colonies ail over the world, and
as we have seen, without the chance of striking a
to her <5«rn coasts: her ship, and carrying trade re
quiring it os much aa the safe burnt of the vast pro-
, Auctions of the west. So that, whilst the considem-
tion of defensive points of the nocth and south Atlan
tic coasts has for the mot part* local tendency, that
of the Gulf of Mexico embraces the interests of tbo
country at large. A quotation from a letter of a dis
tinguished gentfeman, formerly at the head of the
War Deportment, is apposite to the subject, “and it
must bo borne in mind that the evils which would
result from the temporary occupation of the delta of
the Mississippi, or from a successful blockade of the
ccasts of tbo Gulf of Mexico, would not only injure
the prosperity of these states, but would deepl^aifoct
the interests of the' whole Union; no reasonable ex
pense therefore ought to he spared to guard against
ouch a casualty." • .
From the above statement it is seen tint the sum
of 94,664dXX> bas been (or nearly so) applied to a
strong defensive cordoo, extending from Barrataria
to Pensacola, embracing every important point on
the re-entering coast of the Gulf of Mexico. That
d ' Mexico.
§600,000 bare been applied to the Naval Depot at
Pensacola, and that §0,1000,000 of permanent naval
end military fixtures remain to be established, of
which the military fixtures of fortifications require
the sum of93,600,000, the commencement and com
pletion of which is urgently demanded in tiie least
possihlo time; and as it out bo effected at a most
“ reasonable expense,” and aa Congress has sanction-
, J the policy, it is hoped that it wiU not withhold the
means for its speedy consummation, especially as it
looks to' the' occupation of tbo grand salient and
siraigetic point of North America, which may be
made as strong as tire impregnable rock of Gibraltar.
It has been demanded why the distant and insulat
ing-points of the Florida Reef should be occupied?
If the chart had been studied the question would not
have been put—end how ? if occupied will an enemy
bo prevented passing into tho Gulf, and how ? cun
the positions ho supplied in the lace of a superior
naval ruu-u r
The answers are easy: to guard against the con
tingency of a starving blockade, one year’s supply of
provisions and of munitions must be Kept constantly
on hand in time of war. To facilitate the operations
of onr steamers, which in good time would bo sent
forth in sufficient force, three year’s supply of coal
uch prep
must be maintained. But in making such prepara
tion wo suppose a constant blockade uninterrupted
by natural ceases, or the succor of a naval force. It
is safest to do. so. But it is believed that though
Key West can be blockaded at its north and south
channelfe against the entrance of large vessels, yet
light vessels, boats and canoes ran hold constant
, boats and
communication with tho coast of Florida, from which
supplies of provisions could bo drawn. One article
ulono of which, the flour of tho Cumfli Root, sec ins

man whon all else failed. The Tortuga* more dis
tant and insulated, and more difficult of blockade, and

ply is answered.
If the United. State* do not occupy Key West and
Tortugas on enemy will. (Tho enemy is always sup-
posul English as the present dominant natal power)
in many respects those positions would to more val
uable to them than the Havana, because of the ft.
cility of defence; and in the case of Tortugas, im

with the materials of rise islands, (of which also he
couU make lime) construct such works as would
protect his naval forces and operations during war,
.and perhaps making them impregnable, liko Gibral
tar, refuse at ita conclusion to redeliver. At all
■event* he would to able to dictate the term of peace
drain the (totress of the Tortugas!
. If the United States occupy those positions they
must be observed fay the enemy, and if, as it should,
a naval force of heavy steamers, be stationed at the
Tortugas, ft must bo blockaded by • naval force of
' the same description three and a half times as large,

A Fish-Hook Removed from the (Et
Without an Operation—Reported
drew R. Kilpatrick, M. D., Woodvilte,
Miss.
In the summer of 1837; Mrs. * • * was
enjoying her usual siesta, in the afternoon
of a warm day, on a pallet spread upon the
floor in a cool part of the house; and while
she was lying on her back sleeping pleas
antly, no aount dreaming of past pleasures,
her grandson, a little urchin or three or
four summers, was playing about the house
with a fishing tackle complete,'pole, line
and hook; who, when he discovered the
old lady with her mouth widely distended,
thought it was a fine opportunity to “catch
a fish. 9 Accordingly, in order to effect his
ose, he cautiously deposited the “bnrli-
ook” (I believe there was no bail on it)
into his grandante’s open inouth. The
titillation caused her to wake suddenly,
and ns her mouth was dry from, exposure,
she closed it and swallowed the' hook two
or fKroa inr»hoQ luslsmr thft -Sa tami
as she discovered her situation, the whole
family was assembled by her calls and cries
of distress, except little Charley, who had
dropped his pole In a panic, and in provin
cial phrase, mizzled.
Some gentle efforts were essayed to re
move the hook, both by the patient and
some of the family ; but being apprehen
sive of fixing the barb in (he throat, they
ceased all efforts, and despatched a messen
ger for Dr. Leroy Antony, who resided in
the neighborhood. When he arrived, and
found that the hook was hot fastened into
the flesh, his fertile brain suggested a plan
by which it could be removed safely, easily,
and without an operation.
His plan was, to cut off the line within
a fool or two of the mouth of the patient;
then to drill a hole through a rifle-bullet
and drop it over the line, down on the hook.
In order to fix the bullet on the point of the
hook and maintain it 'firmly in that posi
tion, a reed was procured, the jointspunch-
ed out, and then passed down over the line,
and pressed firmly over the bullet. In this
manner the hook, bullet and reed were all
withdrawn at once, very easily, without
anv injury to the oesophagus or fauces.
This all 8ccm9 so simple, like Columbus’:
egg, that the reader may think he would
have done just the same thin?:. But the
influence of education and of common prac
tice, and the desire to perform surgical
operations and acquire some celebrity, all
conspire to keep us in the same beatentrack;
and the majority of niit.ds, whew started
and trained in a certain way, seldom, if
ever alter their course. It is matter of re
joicing, too, that the knife is less used now,
than it was some years tince when sur

could cut the largest cash es and the most

right after right, and submit to insult after
insult, as the interest or. caprice of our ene
my may dictate.: i,
If we be permitted to judge, from circum
stances connected with (acts which have
transpired, Great Britian has determined to
possess herself of our Territory of Oregon,-
by negociation if she. can—by war if she
must. • It is necessary to her commerce,
with the East India’s; to her naval supre
macy on (he Pacific, to her Tcritorial a-
grandizement and our humiliation.
She has determined that Texas shall not
be admitted into our Union except nt the
expense of a tear with Mexico, in which
she will lakcapart, with her cruisers against
our commerce; under the Mexican flag.
This stroke, of 1 policy is necessary to se
cure the first.- It will weaken us, by mak
ing Texas a nfeutral or Hostile state—it will
injure our commerce, increase her chances
of securing Oregon, and perhaps on ac
count of her extreme, friendship and ser
vices to be rendered to Mexico, 9he may
obtain the Californios.
That she is now endeavouring to embroil
us in a. war with Mexico, there is no doubt.
She has very probably been at the founda
tion of (he insult lately offered to our flag
by the government of Brazil, and she is
appealing to other nations, with a view of
securing their co-opperation or neutrality in
a crusado which she has long been prepar
ing- against the United States. The Inst
rew years have witnessed her constant pre
parations for war, by tho increase of her
navy—the exploration of our coasts and
harbours by her Mail Steam Ships—the or
ganization of negro troops in her West In
dia possessions, foropperation in our South
ern States—by strengthening the regular
army and organizing the Maiitia of Cana
da—by crcctingmimcrous Forts in Oregon,
in violation of- the treaty of joint Ocupa-
tion, and by irritating and exciting other
nations to unfriendly, or hostile relations
with us. She bas already obtained the in
fluence, and exercises the prerogative of
Dictator to Mexico, so far as our relations
with her arc 'concerned, and is now endea
vouring to arquirp. a similar influence in
Texas. Her territory, her armies, hcrflocts,
her overshadowing influence, or her gold,
surround us upon every side,' and she waits
but fot a favourable moment to attempt our
destruction by folding us in horscrpcnl-likc
embrace.
Are wc asked in what wc have offended
to thus bring down upon us the ire of Great
Britain. Have we protested against the
Union of the Crowns, of England 'and"
Scotland, or have wc demanded the un
conditional repeal of the Union, and inde
pendence of Ireland, according to the com
pact, which was consunmted in corruption
with the Irish Nation! Have wc broken
our Treaties, invaded her colonics, or even
protested against her spoliation of the Chi
nees, nndothernations? Not none of these
thingtt. " We have been faithful to our trea
ties—nay, we have ‘ surrendered a part of
our territory op ,the north east, to gratify
her rapacity and preserve pence, we have
been as tame and unoffending as'the iamb
that is prepared for the slaughter. Our
Eagle has slept whilst the crouching Lion
has been covertly and silently preparing to
spring upon his prey.
Great Britain has not forgotten the years
of the Revolution; or thosh of the lost war.
She acknowledged oiir independence from
stern necessity, and concluded the last war
in mortification. , She is ,jealous of our
glowing power,our, rival Commerce, our
liberal institutions. We are an insupera
ble bcarrierto^er eventual undivided sway
upon tho- .American Continent. The suc
cess of .our experiment of self government,
is sapping the. foundation of Monarchy and
self cdflstittif&l - governments, by awake
ning man to a. knowledge of his rights.—
The preservation Monarchy, Territorial
agrandizeinent, rivalry, of Commerce and
Trade, mortified pride and revenge, all en
ter in some : degree, into her policy towards
Mi . a ®y unprejudiced man review the
which desire, and hhvc solicited such an
Union, that they may add to our mutual
strength and enjoy with ns the security and
blessings of self governnient.
To Freemen, how ridiculous doe? such a
pretext appear. How hollow are her ex
pressions of sympathy for Mexico; “strip
ped rf her Teritory,” when wo consider
that Great Britain was among the formost
to sanction the act by the acknowledge
ment of Tcxian indcpondancc. Eut aside
from this; what right has Great Britain to
interfere with the friendly relations of Tex
as and the United States ? Every Ameri
can will answer none■—such' interference
would bean infringement of our rights and
will not be tolerated by freemen.-
Her second cause of Complaint is; that
President Polk, in hi? inaugural address
declared his conviction that our title to the
Territory of- Oregon is clear and unques
tionable, that some of our citizens -with
their wives and children wcre'settling there,
and that.he would maintain thejrighlaof
the United States to that Territory by all
Constitutional means. And this declara
tion of opinion, and determination to pre
serve our constitutional rights, is mode the
theme of vituperation and abuse both in'
and out of Parliament, and the pretext for
renewed preparations for war. When we
remember that this farce was played*afier
the refusal of Congress, not only to extend
our jurisdiction over that, Tenritqrjy but
even to.give ltcr notice that we wished to
terminate the treaty for joint occupation,
how arc we to view the present demon
strations of the British Government 7
find that there is no just cause of war, or.of
complaint, ou either the subject of the An
nexation of Texas, or the Occupation of
Oregon, nnd wo know of no othor.
Do not all the circumstances bear us out
in the conviction which wc have expressed,
that she is determined • upon her own ag
grandizement and our humiliation by war,
for which she has long been secretly pre
paring, and that she is seeking for pretexts
to justify herself, as well as Mexico, and
her other-satellites,in theaggressive course
upon which she has determined ? r
The question now arrises what course
should he pursued by the United States to
preserve our national rights, and either to
prevent war or insure its success. We an
swer confidently, there is but one path.of
safety and honor-do justice to ourselves-as
well its others, turn neither to the right or
the left, from threats or menace, be pre
pared not only to assert our rights but to
maintain them. In short under the pre
sent aspect of affairs, it is our duty to pre
pare vigorously for war.
