NATION AND NATIONAL.
“Why use that word nation and na

It is wrong. Public sentiment ought
to he corrected throughout the United
States. It has a dangerous tendency.
God knows we are tending ton rapidly
to consolidation already, and habituat

along. .* ■
“Ours is a federal Union—composed
of thirty distinct Slates. The conven
tion scouted the word nation. S*> did
General Washington in nil his public
papers. Many use the word nation, or
national, from ignorance; others from
habit, and with design. The United
Slates arc not a nation. ‘The federal
Union of the States* • tb« constitution*
or government of the United States,’
arc llic only terms employed to desig
nate this confederacy and which express
its meaning clearly. The United States,
when used geographically, means that
poi i ion of the continent occupied by the
States and the territories, and socially
speaking, it means the thirty States in
one. A citizen must belong to some
one Stntc. If so*_he is, of course, a citi
zen of the United Slates, but u citizen

people, is an anomaly, without being a

name of American as wc have. A citi

nevertheless true. We ask, therefore,
he intelligent and reflecting men of the
South, if it is wise or sound political
economy not to avail ourselves of the
advantages which the manufacture of
the raw material will certainly secure
to the South and the Union? The true
policy of the country, and that which
will most certainly secure the highest
degree of prosperitj’, is to bring the
spindle and the loom in close proximity
with the cotton field, and you build up
a home market for your cotton, and also
for the breadstuff's and provisions that
the South can produce. Certainly, no
intelligent mind will require argument
or illustration to satisfy it that such a
slate of things would render the coun
try—the whole country—more prosper
ous.
Statistics of the Aexican War.
The Secretary of War has lately laid
before Congress an exposition of the
forces employed in the Mexican war,
the losses consequent thereon, and va
rious other particulars in connection
with it, which will be read with con
siderable interest. It appears that at
the commencement of hostilities, the
regular army numbered 7244 men;
the forces on the frontier o! Texas, pre
sent and absent, in May 1846,
3554. The number of troops which
joined the several divisions of the army
had not burst forth. The after hatch he has judged rightly; but supply after

Antiquaries will feel deeply interested
the discovery of vast regions of ancient
ruins near San Diego, and within a day’s
march of the Pacific Ocean, at the head
of the Gulf of California. Portions of
temples, dwellings, lofty stone pyra
mids (seven of these wit bill a mile
square) and massive granite rings or
circular walls, round venerable trees,
columns and blocks of hieroglyphics—
all speak of some ancient race ol men,
now forever gone, their history actually
unknown to any one of the existing
families of mankind. In some points,
these ruins resemble the recently dis
covered cities of Palanque, &c., near
the Atlantic or Mexican Gulf coast; in
others, the monuments of Phoenicia, and
yet in many features they differ from
all that I have referred to. I observe
that the discoveters deem them to be

their strength, and vote down die demagogues who,
like the frogs ol Egypt, have for years infested all
their most sacred places, uutil the whole land
stinks with tiie moral corruption and putrefaction
abroad. We repeat, the matter is in the hands of
the People—let them apply the remedy.
We may, at some leisure day.give a history
ot the growth of the evil—a sketch of the true
demagogue—a description of the machinery he em
ploys to effect his ends, and some general reflec
tions on the surest and safest mode of abating thi*
most intolerable nuisance.

Washington, April 34.
The treaty concerning Nicaragua und the Oce
anic Canal was read in the Senate, in the Execu
tive cession of Monday. Its provisions are such as
render its ratification quite certain. The British
government is to abstain from occupying any forts,
military stations, or exercising any exclusive jn-
(diction in virtue of their protection of the Mus-
quito kingdom and Coeta Rico, and the contract for
} construction ot the Canal made with the Amer-
in Company is to be respected, provided it be
commenced within a year, and if not, the work
may be contracted for and prosecuted by any other
company, American or European. The Britiah
government have thus yielded what was last fall
insisted upon, at least by Mr. Chat6eld, and some
of her agents. It is now to be seen whether the
New York Oceanic Canal Company can make good
their contract. Some have said that they would sell
it out. To whom ? British capitalists will be
slow to enter into the enterprise. But, still, the
work must and will in time, be executed, though it
will cost lorty millions.
The estimates for the expenditures of the next
fiscal year, amount to the respectable aggregate of
forty-five millions, besides the deficiency of two
millions, four hundred thousand dollars.

The compromise committee have held but one
meeting. They will await the return of Mr. Mason
and Mr. Berrien, who are members of it.
Mr. Doty will, on Monday, press his motion to

a discussion upon amendments for three weeks.
It is not expected th at the measures to be re

pass both Houses until about the fourth of July.
At that time, many Northern members wish to take
a recess for two or three months. Meeting again
in September, or on the first of October, they would

is objected by the Western members to this strgt
