I Message of the President In i elation to our Mexican Affairs. To the Smote and House of Representatives of the United Stales: 1 invite yourattention to ihe propriety of making an appropriation to pro vide for any expenditure which it may be neces sary to make in advance for the purpose of settling all our difficulties with the Mexican republic. It is my sincere desiie to terminate, as it was originally to avoid, the existing war with Mexico by a peace, just and honorable to both parties. It is probable that the chief ob stacle to be surmounted in accomplishing this desirable object, will be the adjustment of a boundary between the two republics, which shall prove satisfactory and convenient to both, and such as neither will hereafterbe inclined to disturb, in the adjustment of this boundary, we ought to pay a fair equivalent for any con cessions which may be made by Mexico. Under these circumstances, and considering the other complicated questions to be settled by negotiation with the Mexican republic, 1 deem it important that a sum of money should be placed under the control of the Executive, to be advanced, it need be, to the government of that republic, immediately after their ratification of a treaty. It might be inconvenient for the Mexican government to wait for the whole sum, the payment of which may be stipulated by this treaty until it could be ratified by our Senate and an appropriation to carry it into effect made by Congress. Indeed, the necessity for this delay might defeat the object altogether. The disbursement of this money would of course be accounted lor, not as secret service money, but like other expenditures. Two precedents for such a proceeding exists in our past history during the administration of Mr. Jefferson, to which I would call your at tention. On the 26th of February, 1803, an act was passed appropriating two millions of dol lars “ for the purpose of delraying any ex traordinary expenses which may be' in curred in the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations,” “to be ap plied under the direction of the President of the United States, who shall cause an ac account of the expenditure thereof to be laid before Congress as soon as may b?,” and on the i2th February, 1806, an appropriation was made of the same amount, and in the same terras. In neither case was the money actual ly drawn from the Treasury, and I should hope that the result in this respect might be similar on the present occasion, although the appropria tion may prove to be indispensable in accom plishing the object. 1 would therefore recom mend the passage of a law appropriating $2,000,- 000 to be placed at the disposal of the Execu tive, for the purposes which I have indicated. In order to prevent all misapprehension, it is my duty to slate that, anxious as I am to termi nate the existing war with the least possible delay, it will continue to be prosecuted with the utmost vigor until a treaty of peace shall be signed by the parlies and ratified by the Mexi can republic. JAMES K. POLK. Washington, Bth August, 1846. British Annexation.—The principle upon which the British government proceeds in its pro cess of acquisition in India seems to be capable of indefinite extension. Tbc Foreign Quarterly Re view thus announces it: “We have received the most legitimate provoca tion—we have been dragged against our will into hostilities, and we ought by no means, therefore, to suffer hypocrisy and intrigue to blunt the edge of our just resentment, and prevent our proceed ing at once to the annexation of the Punjaub. It is a very absurd kind of reasoning to infer from the extent of our dominious in India, that we ought not to enlarge them. Our empire never can be said to have reached its proper develop ment, till all obvious sources of disturbance and troubles shall, as far as possible, have been closed up. In these matters there is no question of enough, or too much, apart from the paramount considera tion of what will suffice to insure to us the undis turbed government of all the country. Our limits will always be too confined, till we have left no room in India for the disturbers of public peace, great or small. This the country should bear in mind, and not suffer itself, by the mere show of moderation and forbearance, to be allured into the preservation of an inexhaustible source of insur rection, anarchy, and civil war, in the kingdom of Lahore.” Each succeeding act of absorption will render further acquisitions necessary, until there shall be no frontier nations to endanger the tranquillity of British territory. The presence of Russian in fluence may be found, if further progress is made towards Persia, to be a more formidable obstacle to British extension than any it has yet encounter ed. Black Sam, Who could not, for the life of him, black the Vo lunteer's boots, but who was death on conundrums. As Sam, the negro boot-black, was passing up St Charles-street yesterday, with the imple ments of his “purfession.” as himself says— brushes, blacking, and a piece of stick with a bevelled edge on it, in a basket, under his arm, he was hailed by an Indiana volunteer, whose boots were outside his fro wsers, up to his knees, and the mud on which wasan inch thick, more or less; he was literally up to his knees in mud. “I say, old Lignumvitae!” said the volunteer, “are you not a bool-black?” “ Wal, I isn’t notin’ else.” said Sam. “ I has polished dis ere squar—dat is de people wot lives in it—tor de las fifteen years. You see, deperfussion has extended to me in de reg’lar marternal line: my farder was a boot-black.” “All right Ebony,” said the volunteer, rais ing his loot and resting the heel of his boot in Sam’s lap, and supporting himself against the lamp-post. Now, the volunteer’s boots, be it known, be •ides being partially wet and particularly dirty, , never since they came off the last, nor perhaps | even then, had brushed acquaintance with ; “Day and Martin,” or any substitute for that| “unrivalled” blacking. Sam, nothing daunted however, went to work. He scraped off the dirt and brushed in the black ing; but, although he rubbed, and rubbed, and continued to rub, the bool remained as dull and as dark as Erebus. “Go ahead,”said the volunteer. “ I calls dis goin’a foot, massa,” said Sam. “But, wy is dls bool, massa—(he still keeps rubbing for lite bate) —wy is dis boot, 1 say, like Pete Gumbo among ile gals when I is dar.” “I don e know,” said the volunteer—“nor, curse your curly head, I don’t care.” “ Den, says Sam, “you gibs it up. Dis boot is like Pete Gumbo under dem dar pecoolar circumstances, ’cause it can't shine'. Yaw! yaw! ytw! “Brush on,” said the volunteer, “and bring out the polish, or you shan’t have the first red cent lor the job.” on and away, but still he c ° u <ort fi no polish. Finding all fur ther efforts unnecessary, he looked up in the vo lunteer s face, the perspiration covering his phiz like globular bubbles in a pool of a rainy da>', and uncovering his ivories with a biuad. good natured grin, he asked, “Massa, wy is I like Kosciosko? Ton j ust tells me dat, and 1 gibs in but I reckon you’ll hab to gib in any way you can fix it. I sees you gibs it up,” said Sam: “Den 1 is like Massa Kosciosko ’cause I en deavored to effect a Polish Revolution, and fail ed I” The honest volunteer gave a loud guffaw, and gave Sam half-a-dollar, not for polishing his bools, forthat he did notdo; but for his aptitude at making a conundrum.— N. o.

Broom and Romain, to the efficiency of Mr. G. as a teacher, in onr ad vertising columns. The Georgia Journal——The Tariff'. The Journal ofTuesday “reluctantly” devotes j a column and a halt in reply to our article of last Thursday, in which we expressed our dis belief in the correctness of i's position, that “The Whig Party of Georgia is an anti- Taritt party—opposed as much to a protective tariff, as any other party. Those who write otherwise, in our opinion, misrepresent them. They are worse than misrepresented 100, when it is said they are opposed to the late tariff bill, because it does not sufficiently protect certain articles, or that it L not sufficiently protective in its character.” Our colenaporary adheres to this opinion, and endeavors to sustain it by the action of the Legislature, or rather the Whigs of that body, and by the votes of Senator Berrien and the Whigs of the Georgia delegation in Congress, against the Tariff of 1842. As our object in noticing the article in the first instance was simply to express our non-concurrence in the opinion of the Journal, we shall net now enter upon the discussion to show how feebly the Journal is supported by the evidence, and how fully the action of the Whigs sustains ur> as to their support of a Tariff, affording adequate protection to American industry. The Journal adds, that “ individuals ina r » go further—or a press mav go further (than it) but when it, or they speak for the party tocher, they are not authorized to g To this we beg leasimply to remark, we never affected to speaK, upon any question, as by authority from the Whig paly- The utmost ofoui pretensions, iv 'he condu... c* our jour nal, have been to utter our individual sentiments, which the Whig partv could concur in nr reject at pleasure. Mr. Toombs's Acceptance. We have the pleasure to-day of announcing to his constituents, the acceptance by the Hon. R. Toombs, of the nomination made by the Whigs of the Eighth Congressional District, as the Whig candidate for the Thirtieth Congress, and of laying before them the subjoined corres pondence, to which we refer them. Mr, T.’s letter will be most acceptable to the Whigs, as affbrdingr a briet recapitulation of some of ihe reasons which have influenced his action du ring Ihe Session just closed, and cannot hut command the admiration oi the manly among his opponents, for his hold and frank expose of his views upon the great and leading questions of the Session . That they w ill ne neartily ap proved by the great majority of his constituent*, we have abundant reason to know, and they will extend to him that most welcome plaudit to the faithful representative : Well done thou good and faithful servant, Augusta, July 17, 1846. Hon. Robert Toombs —Dear Sir ;—The un dersigned being a Committee appointed by the Whig Convention of the Bth Congressional District ot Georgia, to notify yon of your unani mous nomination as their candidate at the ap proaching election—they now have the plea sure of enclosing you the proceedings ot ihe Convention, and earnestly request youi accep tance of the nomination, that wc may have the gratification cf communicating: the same to your constituents in the District, who with us, so fully approve of your course in supporting the great principles of the Whig party in the pre sent Congress of the United States. We remain yours, very respectfully, James B. Bishop, J. L. Turner, C. W. Dubose, James T. Botiiwell, Committee. W. W. Simpson, U. T. Lockett, E, Gresham, Washington, August 3th, 1846. Gentlemen, —1 have received your favor ot the 17th ultimo, enclosing me the proceedings ot a Convention of the Whig party of thcßlh Congressional District of Georgia, recently held in Augusta. I accept the nomination wdiichthat Convention conferred upon me, and 1 avail my self of this occasion to express mj'sincere grati fication at the approval of my political course during the present session, by my constituents. New, and impoitant questions of Foreign po licy have been submitted to the consideration of Congress during the present session. It w«uld have given me great pleasure to have been able to sustain the Adrninistiaiion in its Foreign po licy, but that policy has not been such as to gain my confidence or respect. The wise, temper ate and just conduct of the Senate, sustained by public opinion, drove the President from his extreme and untenable pretensions upon the ; Oregon question, and secured peace upon terms fair and honorable, both to the United States and Great Britain. The a.. ii«n of the Senate upon this subject received my hearty concur rence. The President took the exclusive con trol of the Mexican question. Relying upon the imbecility, the weakness and the internal dissensions ot Mexico, he ventured upon march in* the army of the United Stale*, without an ihoriiyof law, into (be Mexican territory, and encamped it upon the left bank of the Rio Dei Norte, where the Mexicans had held undis puted dominion from the day that they became an independent people, to the time when they were thus forcibly dispossessed. This led to the existing war with [Mexico. Its objects will -uon become a question of great solicitude with the American people, A sense of public duly compels me to declare that the conquest and dismemberment of Mexico, however brilliant may be the success of our arms in their achievement, will not redound to the glory or to the advantage of this Republic. Our domestic policy has recently been sub jected to great and injurious changes. The Sub-Treasury scheme, which was so studiously kept in the background, during the canvass of 1844, has become the law of the land. Its im mediate evil effects upon the business of the people will be diminished by the lact that the public Treasure was squandered by the admin istration before the bill was passed. The Re ceivers-General of customs, from present appear ances, are likely to be chiefly employed during the rest of Mr. Polk’s administration in the “collection, safe-keeping and disburing" irre deemable government paper money, instead of coin. It is, perhaps, fortunate for the country 1 that this fancy of building houses, vaults, and j strong boxes, in which to keep the public mo j ney in coin, generally becomes stringent with I its friends when the government has no such 1 money to keep. The new Tariff bill, although it is far short of j the commercial system advocated by the South ern division of the Democratic party, approzi j mates it sufficiently near to test its accuracy, ' The reasons of my opposition to this bill have already been submitted to the people. It will compensate the country for some of its evils, that it applies the lest of experience to those plausible theories which have so long perplex ed the people, and harrassed the industry ol the country. Our best interests, in my opinion, will be promoted by giving the new hill a lair trial. Let it be judged by i's practical operation upon the revenue and industry of the country. When its impolicy shall have been demonstrated in this way, we shall have stability, and a settled policy. Party politicians cat! then no lunger trade upon this question, and the country will then have the benefit ul the wisdom and expe rience of men ot all patties in properly adjust ing ihii; intricate and complex system r<> the wants and condition of the people. Please accept my thanks for the terms in which you hate been pleased to convey to me the wishes of the Convention, 1 am verv rpsywcttyiMv, vour ob’l seiv’l, R. TOOMBS. Messrs. James B. Bishop, J. L.

Important. —We copy the following notice trom the American Flag, for the benefit of those who have occasion to cor respond with the troops stationed above Malamoros. It is of the utmost consequence that it should be generally known : Pay the Postage. —It would to well for persons writing to their friends in the army to pay the postage,as there is no office above this place,[Ma tamoros,] and only such letters are sent to the en campments higher up as are paid for. In addressing a letter, as we have said before, the writer should be particular in naming the company and regi ment, otherwise the chances of reaching the place of destination arc very slim. There are a number of letters now lying in the post office here intended for persons at the camps on the river above, and our post-master has no authority to send them be cause the postage has not been paid* A. 11. Stephens, —ln announcing his nomi nation tor Congress, the Columbus Enquirer adds; “We are glad to see it; first, because he is an able and fearless representative of his party; and secondly, because he has risen to his pre sent elevated position by his intrinsic ability, unaided by any help from wealth or strong family connections. Stephens has made him self what he is, and is justly entitled to the uni versal love and regard of his constituency. Sue cess to him and honor to them.” Great efforts are making to procure subscrip tions to the stock of a corupanv organized for the purpose ot connecting Cleveland, Ohio, and Pittsburg, Pa., by a railroad. The Cleveland Eleraldsays; “The right of way for about five-eights of the line is secured by proper re leases, and thus far by gift. Still farther re leases are promised, and a disposition is mani fested along the line in the interior, which speaks well tor the liberality oft he people and the suc cess of the enterprise. Subscriptions have been made to the stock to the amount cf one hundred thousand dollars, less a fraction, and assurances have been made that more stock will be taken by those who have already subscribed,” Medals for the Subalterns. —We were shown, says a late New Orleans Delta, one of the medals to be presented to the brave non-commis sioned officers who so nobly distinguished them selves in the battles of the Bth and 9(h. They are made of solid gold, about the size and somewhat over the thickness of a doubtoon. On the inverse side is seen the coat of arms of America, surround ed by twenty-nine stars, representing the different States, Texas included. At the foot of the eagle is inscribed—•“ Palo Alto and Rcsaca cte la Pal ma. 71 On the reverse is engraved—“ Presented to services in the battles of the Bth and 9th of May, 1846,” —the whole surrounded by a handsome wreath. These medals are ptonounced by compe tent judges to be the most beautiful ever made in New Orleans, and much credit is due Messrs.

Attempt to Entrap Com. Connor.—A let ter has been received in Boston, says the Trans cript, from an officer ot one ot the vessels in the Gull Squadron, which states that quite a cute attempt was made a short time since, to entrap Com. Connor, probably as an exchange lor Gen, Vega. A Mexican gentleman went on board the flag-ship with acceptable presents of fruit, &c., and before leaving, obtained a promise from the Commodore to dine on shore with him the next day at his residence. Com. Connor, all unsuspicious of treachery, was just in readi ness to leave his ship, when he received an in timation ol the kind intentions of his would-be host. Hedid’ntgo.

Uor the Chronicle Sentinel. “ How are the Children of the Poor to be Educated I” Mr. Editor:— The question which heads this article is one of serious moment, and every day increases its importance. To every one, who is solicitous for the education of our poor children, it is a subject invested with the claim of immediate investigation. For the purpose ot calling public attention to this important sub ject, a lew suggestions will be ottered, and we trust our notice will be the means ofcausing some plan to bs devised tor temedying the evils which have crept into the management ot the Fund,appropriated to the education of these beneficiaries of the Stale’s bounty. It is not unknown to you, sir, that the two great parties which divide our State, have been content to meet on this as common ground.— Party feeling, tor the time, has been laid aside, and patriotism, with its kind’y spirit has been invoked to preside over deliberations, looking to the education ot the poor. Legislative enact ments have followed each other in succession, until it was deemed impossible to do more, so fully persuaded was every one that all objec tions were completely removed, and the present plan settled (by the act of ’43) upon a most liberal and permanent basis. But, how accords the practice with the theory? Is there anything wanting to render our plan of public education perfect? Are there any defects in the system? The most direct answer to these inquiries is, everything is wanting—the system has entirely tailed to produce those happy ef fects contemplated by the benevolent devisers. There are numbers of children in the State, lor whose instruction ample provision has been made by her, so far as she is concerned, and who possess every facility for acquiring an edu cation, and yet, strange to say, they are not in structed—yea, they are even, by many, denied the use of their privileges. The very pertinent inquiry here comes up; What is the cause?- Fhe answer is full to the purpose, simple, and in few words— there's no pay. It may be asked here: how can that be? We profess not to know how it is—we only point to the simple fact of teacher’s accounts being unpaid, and uo provision made for their payment. We have heard it repeated again and again— there's plenlyo / wney—there's plenty of money. This may be true, but that it never reaches the pocket of the deserving teacher, we have the most satisfactory proof. But, according to the re peatcddeclaralions of the officer whose business it is to audit these accounts, there is no money in his hands for that purpose, and no prospect of any. Yet we find many of them disposed to speculate in these accounts, buying them up at a discount of from thirty to forty per cent.— Whose loss is this? It needs no financial skill to point out the manner in which this must be a source of profit to the disbursing officer. In short, sir, it is a most notorious fact that the management of the Poor School Fund, in the hands of one or two Treasurers, of our acquain tance, has been a source of great profit, and in many cases (it is to be greatly feared) to the serious detriment of our public instructors.— Now, sir, is this justice—yea, is it honesty? Now, sir, thsre may be no money in the timed* of the Treasurer, we pretend not to say there is. If there is not, does it not become the duty of our Grand Jurors (according to the act of : 43,) to make provisions for liquidating such ac counts as may be presented—in tact, all that are now due. Out Grand Jurors have certain ly failed to discharge properly this part of their duty. While they have carried a rigid super vision into every other department, they have entirely neglected this, or permitted the verbal statements of the Treasurer to pass from them, as the official audit cf his books. This should not be. Lei the provision of the act above men tioned bo rigidly enforced. Hold the auditing officer to a strict accountability for all the funds entrusted to his care. Appoint a re gular and stated time for auditing teacher s ac counts, and take care to carry out the provis ions of the act, by requiring yout Commission ers to examine every teacher presenting ac counts, as to his capacity to instruct. This lat ter should be rigidly enforced. Let a thorough reform be introduced into the management of this fund, and we shall no longer have our ears stunned with the inquiry which heads this ar ticle. Carry out the Act to the letter, and in the spirit and intent of the framers thereof, and we shall soon see our beloved State take her place among her sister States, occupying that posi tion, and wielding that influence in the confede racy which the love we bear her induces us to believe is justly her due.
