The origin of this teim, applied to the
United States, is given in a recent num
ber of the Norwich Courier. The editor
says it was communicated by an intelli
gent gentleman, now upwards of eighty
years of age, who was an active partici
pator in the scenes of the revolution.—
The story is as follows:

TAKE A NEWSPAPER.
Winter is coming with its long eve
nings and cheerful firesides. The howl
ing blasts, drifting snow, and other con
comitants, in the iegion of the ice king,
will soon shut up the attractions of the
•outer world, and revive the endearments
of the domestic hearth. ..The family cir
cle that has been broken by the deran
ging influence of the business season,
when toil and fatigue have courted an
early repose, will again be reunited, and
a season of recreation for the intellectual
and social powers will ensue. The mind
must have food with its amusements, or
else it Itecomes morbid and senseless—
and what a never failing fountain for its
improvement is provided in the family
newspaper.
Among our earliest recollections of
delight is mingled the arrival of the post
rider with his weekly treasure. How our
hearts beat with joy as we heard his born
sound in the distance, heratding his
approach—’.and when the prize was
drawn from his well stored saddle
bags, and thrown into the door yard of
our youthful home, what a scramble en-
ed
ganize it, and make preparations for the
de"
efence of the oountry, he found a great
destitution of ammunition and other means
necessary to meet the powerful foe he
had to contend with, and great difficulty
to obtain them. If attacked in such a
condition, the cause at once might be
hopeless. On one occasion at that anx
ious period, a consultation of the officers
and others was had, when it seemed no
way could be devised to make such pre
paration as was necessary. His excel
lency Jonathan Trumbull the elder, who
was then Governor of the State of Con
necticut, on whose judgment and aid the
General placed the greatest reliance, re
marked, we must consult • Brother Jona-.
than’ on the subject. The general did so.
and the Governor was successful in sup
plying many of the army. When diffi
culties alter arose, and the army was
spread over the country, it became a bye-
word, ‘ we must consult Brother Jona
than. The term Yankee is still applied
to a portion, but 1 Brother Jonathan’ has
now become a designation of the whole

. THE BOUNDARY OF TEXAS.
Niles’ Register of August 17, 1816,
(vol. 10, p. 402,) contains extracts from a
memorial, addressed to the Spanish Cor
tes in 1815 before Mexico declared her in
dependence, in reference to Coahuila,
Texas, and the adjacentcountries, by Don
M. B. de Arispe, a Spaniard, who had
visited those parts. He states expressly
that Coahuilo (which then included Chi
huahua) is seperated from Texas by the
Rio Bravo del Norte, commonly Rio
Grande. Also, that the Government of
Texas, &c., under Spain, was entirely
distinct from the ViceKoyality of Mexico,
Texas not being deemed a part of Mexi-
sued among .the juvenile portion ol the
household lor the news. •
Times have changed since those days,
land lightning, rail-roads, steamers, sta
ges, &c., distribute the news throughout
the length and breadth of the country.—
Instead of paying two dollars a year for a
small sheet,' ailarge one is offered to the
public for half the sum. The world is
rife with news—and there is no excuse
now for a want of intelligence any where
in our country.
Take a newspaper, and you do more to
secure the morals of your children and
prepare them for future usefulness, with a
single dollar, than by five limes that a-
mount bestowed in any other way. It is
a duty which every lather owes to his
family and country, to take a newspaper.
It cultivates a taste for reading, and
spreads before the minds of the rising gen
eration a chart of the passing events of
the age, which they will consult, and will,
by so doing, add daily or weekly to their
slock of knowledge. No person who reads
a newspaper regularly and carefully, goes
into the world without a knowledge of its
doings that secure for him intelligence and
respect. \Ve say to every man, and ev
ery man should say to his neighbor, “take
a newspaper.”—Ex. Pajier.
This document, connected with other
known facts, will serve to show: lsi
That the Rio Grande was the houndary
of Texas. 2, That in 1836, the date of
Texan Independence, Spain not having
acknowledged the Independence either of
Mexico or Texas, neither could trace its
title to Spain, but both held sovereignty
bv the same title,.that of the successful
efforts of the people. 3. That Spain, in
acknowledging the Independence of Mex
ico in 1S39, did not give any title to Tex
as, because Texas was not a part, under
Spain, of the Territory whose Independ
ence was thus acknowledged. 4. Spain
having subsequently acknowledged the
Independence of Texas, that State, in
1845, held her independence by the same
tights as Mexico, viz : the successful re
solve of the people, and the acknowledge
ment of the power to which it originally
belonged.—Pennsylvanian.'
TAX ON TEA AND COFFEE.
It will be seen by a reference to the pro
ceedings of Congress that the whigs in a
body voted .against the recommendation
of Mr. Secretary Walker to tax Tea and
Coffee to raise revenue lor the support of
the war. It will be remembered that in
1S41 and ’42, in a tii/te of profound peace,
they voted for this very lax ; and in 1847,
when the country is at war, and requiring
the duties thus to be levied for ii? success
ful prosecution, they repudiate it!! How
is this ? Perhaps some friend can cypher
it out, and prove that the whigs are very
consistent and patriotic. Since so much
objection has been made to this tax, it is
proper to state a 25 preent. ad ralorcm'Au-
ly would be an average tax of one cent and
a half on a pound of Coffee, and fire cents
and a third on a pound of Tea.
The letter of the Secretary oflhe Trea
sury is a bold mid manly expression of
his opinions. We regret the indication
given bj T the vole in the House of Repre
sentatives, but it will be seen the vote
is hut one hundred and fifteen, a majority
of only three ofthe whole House. Doubt
less the vote will he regarded by some
as a rebuke of the Secretary of the Trea
sury. The whigs will chuckle greatly,
and hold it up as an indication ol the de
creasing popularity of the administration.
It is nut so. It is only on indication that
there are some dough faces in Congress
who arc afraid of their popularity, and
afraid of the people. In other words,
they know their own want of merit and
have little confidence in the people. We
may venture to say that the people of this
AN- ODD CUSTOM.
Dr. Hernizsays it is customary in Ja
pan to give to the child, with appropriate
religious ceremonies, a new name at three
different periods of his life, viz ; when at
the ages of thirty days, seven years, and
and fourteen years. After the latter
periods, the Japanese who is so lucky as
to obtain an office under government,
changes his name again, and continues
changing his name at every change of
his office. This change makes the labor
of the historian in tracing the life of an
usurper, for instance, through his various
changes of name, a very difficult lask.--
Iflli '3 custom should he adopted in our
countrV, it would in some cases prove a
great benefit to the office holder, the mure
especially if the acts of his former life
could be'llirgolten with the name. Bet
ter still if the party now falling them
selves whigs, could only change their
name when they succeed in office, fir
that would only he once in a very lo.g
time. As it is, they vary the Japanese
custom by changing their names as often
as they are defeated in a Presidentild
contest.

FLORIDA CIGARS.
We are pleased to learn that our quon
dam friend, Henry Floyd, Esq., is going
auu
for cigars, at his plantation near
py. The Jacksonville News, of the 8th
inst says : “ Mr. Floyd informs us that he
made fifty thousand cigars from the plant
ing of an acre, and that if he had taken
sufficient pains to keep it from the worm,
he could have made an hundred thou
sand. They are fully worth sixteen idol-
larsthe thousand, although Mr. Floyd sells
them for ten, in consequence of their be
ing new. This affords him the pretty
sum of 8500 to the acre,’which is worked
by or.ly one or two hands, and which
would have afforded him $1,000 if he had
been possessed of the experience he has
' since acquired. From the fine flavor of
the cigars we are convinced that as the
proper culture and management of tobac
co is made known, our Florida cigars
Will command prices as -high as those of
Cuba.”

righteous war Willi

Mexico, brought on by Mexico herself, and
who will “aid and coinfort the enemy” by
withholding supplies and mocking his
own country in the struggle to gratify per
sonal haired or party feeling. What will
these people tax ?—how will they raise
money ?—hy laws or'will they contribute?
WEBSTER ON FINANCE.
Our readers will recollect' that Mr.
Webster asserted, during the last session
of tbefyresent Congress, that the Mexican
war cost half a million of dollars daily.—
The Message ofPresident Polk shows that
the whole expense of the war, during the
seven months it has existed, only amounts
to about seven millions of dollars. If Mr.
Webster's statement had been true, in
stead of seven millions* the war would
have cost up to this time about 8105,000,-
000. Mr. Webster was in error only a-
bouc 898,000,000.1 A handsome little
difference this. Daniel, we belieVe,- was
never distinguished for accuracy in mon
ey matters. It is seldom that he remem
bers the amount of his own pecuniary ob
ligations, or the time when they are due.
He supposes that Government adopts the
same principles of extravagance in spend
ing the people’s money, that he docs in his
private affairs.
An intimate frilnd of Mr. Webster re
lates the following story, illustrating the
rapidity with which he spends his small
change. Not many years ago a small
party of wealthy manufactures of the Bay
State were about to visit the Springs.—
They were desirous that Mr. Webster
should accompany them. He told them
that he could not, as he had not the re
quisite amount of spare funds. They im
mediately subscribed a purse offive'hun-
dred dollars and presented it to Mr. Web
ster, which, with every allowance for his
well known liberality or extravagance,
was supposed would be sufficient to pay
Mr. Webster’s'expenses fora week or,
two, at least, at that fashionable place of
resort. They started for the Springs with
Daniel as one of their party, and on the
morning after theirarrival, to their aston
ishment they were informed by Mr. Web
ster that he must return immediately!
The reason of this speedy return was de
manded, and they were promptly told by
him that he was out of funds! Another
purse was immediately made up, and Mr.
Webster was thus enabled to stay a little
longer.
Mr. Webster’s financial abilities are not
of the first order. He may, probably,
have believed that the war has cost half
a million a day; but. such a belief only
proves that he is extremely ignorant on
the subject, His statement to that effect
is not more absurd than are his other
statements in relation to the Mexican
war. The opinion of Mr. Webster' on
any important subject connected with
parly politics are not worth a howl of
clam chowder. He is a feed attorney
of a few wealthy manufacturers, and
is ready to assert any thing they wish
him to.—N. Y Globe.
GEN. HARALSON.
The Griffin Jeffersonian of the i3lh
inst. says: This lallented and indefatiga
ble Representative of the 4th Congress
ional district of this State as is generally*
known* is Chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs. At the time of his ap
pointment every thing of a national Char
acter was quiet, and reposing in the arms
of peace. The military establishment of
the nation was small, and his office was
not considered as responsible as the head
of many of the other, Committees of
Congress. Since that time ‘grim visag’d
war’ has shown tho <• wrinkled frohi.”
LAGUNA. • , m
Laguna, capt o red by Commodore Per

ted on an island in the Lake Termos, in
the State of Tabasco. It is about 60
miles from-the town of Tabasco, and has
a considerable commerce. : J.-
We presume.these operations are con
ducted with the view of occUpying Tp-
basco with out forces—a measure of the
highest importance, as securing theffiost
war’ has shown the “ wrinkled frohi,
and the post of Chairman of’the Commit
tee on Military affairs has really become
the most arduous and responsible one in
Congress. Gen. Hatralson, (and we
speak it with pride as a citizen of Geor
gia) is found in all respects eiqual and
competent to the emergency. His fine
talents and indefatigable industry and
latriolism have risen with the responsi-
lility, and have given him a stand and
station in Congress which will be herald
ed with honor to posterity. He recently
introduced another bill for the increase
of the regular army, and at last accounts
was arduously engaged in its details ■ fq

Haralson is among the most attentive and
industrous members. Always in his seat,

Government will, be given to this slijeet,
and the immense valife of these ports

MANUFACTORIES IN GEORGIA.
We extract from the Augusta Chroni
cle an article which appeared in the Coo-
s.a River Journal published at Rome, in
Floyd County.
How is it that an interest which pays IS
to 24 per cent profit, annually, and which
compared with the New England estab
lishments at Lowell and elswere, it is but
in its infancy in Georgia, seeks a protec
tion against the planting and agricultural
interest, who rejoice at 6 per cent divi
dend, if caterpillars, &c. allow them that
boon.
Some who were loudest in favor of
the tariff of 1842, are now as silent as
the grave, unless it is necessary to bring
it in to round off periods of declamation
against a President, who, in their opinion,
and the opinion of Mexican governors,
has waged “an unholy, and unrighteous
war against the Republic of Mexico.”

as an electioneering weapfin in Pennsyl

New- York Custom House.—The receipts
at the Custom House during the week en
ding the 9th inst. are estimated at $4(U>*-
000, During the same, period last year,
they were $26$,000.
There is a wide difference between the
financial estimates of Mr. Webster ami
those of Mr. Walker. Mr. Webster esti
mated the expenses of the war at hall a
million a day, and Mr. Walker makes
them a million a month.. Mr. Webster
.estimates the receipts from the customs,
under the Tariff, at twenty-three millions,
and Mr. Walker at twenty-eight. Mr.
Webster supposes that the amount of the
public debt, if the war should continue till
next Sirring, will be one hundred millions.
Mr. Walker estimates the amount of the
debt of all descriptions on the 30th day
of June, 1848, at forty-eight millions, in
cluding the expenses of the war, should
it continue tiH that time. Perhaps it may
be found that the Secretary hasraiher un
derrated the expense of the war. Much,
however, is proposed to be saved, by.
withholding appropriations which, in or
dinary times, would be deemed expedi
ent.— N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
judgment, and lead it into suicidal exces
ses. For instance, we are convinced
that it is a fatally mistaken policy—this
desperate assault of the whigs upon the
Mexican war,; and their attempts to cut
off the means necessary to bring it to. a
close. The honor and interests of the
country,” continues the journalist, less
foreign than the federal leaders, “are con
siderations lar greater than those of parly,
and when yo.u bring them into collision
it is the latter which must go down. The
message has re-established the justice ol
the Mexican war firmly in the public judg
ment. It is useless to deny this. As in
the Oregon matter, the I'resident has
succeeded on his appeal to the tribunal of
public opinion. Mr. Polk’s advocacy of
the administration is masterly. He is fully
a match, in this respect, for Mr. Webster
to whom, by the way, he has given one
overthrow especiailly overwhelming. It
is where he shows by the dates that the
Massachusetts senator, though he now
treats the crossingof the ltio Grande by
Gen. Taylor as an “ invasion of Mexican
or neutral soil,’ did so recently as July 8,
1842, declare, in a despatch signed with
his hand, as Secretary of State, that the
territory .between the Sabine and the Rio
Grande has -formed, since the treaty ' of
1819, an integral portion ofthe nhl Span
ish province of Texas, as ceded back to
Spain by the United Stales.”
