Ei.oqur.NT Extract from tlio lata Speech of
- Mr. Ni khiksb 011 the IWkxican Thbaty.—This
wnr with Mexico nmy be considered astho com-
im luiinent of n new era in the history of this
lountiy The reckless and ambitious Idea of
lumpiest u;n» never before entertained by Ameri
can rt.itcuuien. This is our first step in that fatal
com so Unit proved the destruction and overthrow
of ail the great Republics that have gono before
us: and who can promise himself that it will lie
1«*.« dirMetious to us in its tendencies than it has
been to others? Whenever iinmutablo principles
of right are abandoned, and error, however spe-
clous, tempting, and fascinating is adopted, either
by individual*or nations, the merited chastise*
msnl will In duo season inevitably follow. Tills
is by a law ns fixed, controlling, and inflexible***
lhai by which effects mi.ccctl causes, and by
which all things material about us and fmmnd us
*ro held together and governed. These princi
ples were all well understood hy the wise men
who gave us tire form of government, which we
possess, and under which we have heretofore been
so prosperous and successful. They lie at tho
foundation of our entire Bystem—they form more
than tho corner-stone—the whole superstructure
in solid mass rests upon them; and if they be re
moved and upturned,.tire stalely odiflee, with all
its grandeur, can no longer stand—a common
and general ruin must bo Uie inevitable conse
quence.
Gentlemen on different shies of tins House speak
daily almost of a dissolution of Uie Union on quca-
tbmigruwingoulofadisposUionoftlxwrcoaqueste.
Some say that the Union cannot survive the passage
of tho Wilmot proviso. On Uie other side, we
heard the other day a gentleman from New Hamp
shire I Mr- Wilson] assert that he was for the
Fn.°.Vb)’bi.lUsoiveir. Now - , for my , 'o4W
think there is a much graver question before us
thin day. (Iiuii that of either extending or prohibit
ing iii. institutions of the South in California and
New .Mexico. It is Uie question of sanctioning
by this House the outrages anti aggressions upon
the Constitution by which the acquisition of these
territories is to be consummated! Whence do
you derive your aulliority,eiUicr in reason, justice,
or dint great chart which prescribes the rule of your
action and the limitation of your powers to dis
member a neighboring republic, despoil her of ex-
•tensive provinces.and by aubjugutlou to compel ber
alien and iiiih illing people to yield to you Uieir al
legiance? If tliia principle is to be sanctioned, and
this txilicy is tnbe adopted—if thisfirstrtrpinanew,
wild nn«f lawless career of aggression is to be fol
lowed by oilier and more rapid strides in the the
samofital direction, I am free, frank,and hold to as
sert here ill my place to Uiis House,and to the whole
American people, Uiat Uie day is not for distant
when it w ill bo found that there will be very little
left in (hid Union—much as l value its past, and
iippre. i.ii.i its present,ln<) hope for its future—
which will bo worth preserving. The safeguards
thrown around our insUtutions by the Constitu
tion will bo swept away. Tlial instrument will
Ih- defunct. It will be a deed letter. It may pre
serve it- form fora time: and the Government,
in: a Imgo inanimate monster, may also preserve
its form for a time, bulits life, its spirit, its soul—
that principle Uiat looks towards and longs for
immortality—will be gone, and we shall become
ss loathsome as creeping vermin, crawling and
feeding on its dead carcass! It cannot be other
wise—tiro truth is beyond all disguise. We sliould
not decoive ourselves: might as we have hereto
fore been taught, docs not consUtute right. Rut
this U the monstrous doctrine now about to be
cdtahlishod. There are none so blind as not to
•co it.
You cannot escape this issue by attempting to
draw* consolation from tho flattering and delusive
cry of NnUonal glory. National glory springs
from no such source. It is no foster-child of vio
lence, oppression, and wrong—of robbery, pillage,
and rapine. Truth, justice, uprightness, or right-
coup n css (as tho wise man says) exaltcth a nation,
but sin, or that which is wrong, is a reproach in
any people. Tho glory of those nations which
have in-* rilicd their names amongst tho first on
the roll of funo Is not to be found in tho history
of thc-lr conquests. - The monuments of their
greatOefWi.are to be seen in the productions of art,
the creations of genius, the refinements of taste,
the perfection or morals, and the works of learn
ing and science. You perceived it in their
paintings, Uieir sculpture, their architecture,
their poetry, their oratory, and their philosophy.
Rut if you wish to acquaint yourself wiUi lament
able instances of national disgrace iucurred by
iniquity and crime, you have but to open the an-
mu <>r sanguinary wars waged from ukhWcs or
national agrandizement and personal ambition.
Tlw*o who glory in such deeds glory In their
— |flgU
shame. Tho cry of Gold, which lias also been
raised f<>r the same purpose, is equally unavailing.
Mines of great richness and treasures inexhausti
ble in Cafifornis, it is said, have been acquired by
tiic war, nnd therefore all is right. Tho end not
only justifies, but sanctifies tho means. Of all the
appcnl* which have been made by way of ex-
riLA.- or extenuation of the course of tho Adminis
tration upon this suhject, this to me appears to bo
the low* rt, the meanest, tho most corrupting, and
the mo*! despicable! It is the plea of tho cheat,
the kn;iv. , tho thief, tho highwayman, tho brigand,
nnd the l.iwloa of every grade and character I—
The man who picks your pocket, does it for gold.
The man who demands your purse, does It for
gold. The man who basely sells himself or his
country, floes it for gold. The detested pirate
who, ns mi outcast from sll civil society, scours
the m an nnd makes hie home on the ocean wave,
seizing and appropriating by violence all that
comes within ilia reach aud power, is in pursuit
of tin* name sordid object—gold. And where is
the difference between him and ine, and him and
you, if you and I should prove ourselves to be so
!‘<ai • t all »• iu*4 of light as to justify wrong, evuu
nU'.iough &U the gold in California, and Peru be-
sides, were to be acquired thereby? 8fr, if l be-
lievrd that all the cxtravngnnt stories wc hear of
the mines in California were true, which 1 do not
- it would make no difference with me. If her sol
were lined with gold, if it stood out in solid
mountain piles as high as her own Sierra Nevada,
I should spurn tho degrading temptation.
Gen. Tayloa audGen. Cass—An Interview.—
Gen. Cass, on his iccent arrival at Washington,
paid a visit to Gen. Tatlob si Willard's Hotel,
and their interview is thus described by the N.
Y. Hrrahl:
Gen. C i --, accompanied by Senator Fitzgerald v
came into the otlieu of the hotel and inquired of
our friend Willard, if Gen. Taylor was.rrcciving
company. Ho was told ho was, and askod to
walk up to his apartments, which he accordingl r
did. General Taylor, at the moment, was seated,
speaking to a gentleman, and did not at first per
ceive Gen. Cass’s entrance. Upon turning round,
he St once recognised him, and coming forward,
graepod his visitor’s hand in both his own. and
vnook Ji most cordially, Gen. Cass apparently be
ing equally friendly.
Gi n. Taylor—Ah, General, how do you do ?
am very glad, Indeed, to see you.
Gen. Cass, (who, U appears, did not know the
Presidentelect by sight.) Thank you, General
I am very glad to see you, (slinking hands all the
time.) Hy the war, General, you had Uie ad van-
t:igc iif me (alluding to his r<« ognUlny him «i
first.) 'I’ll.It's twlen vmi’vnli.iil (lift nilv.llltilATO of
me! (This was —„ . P
earned tho General and every ono present to
laugh heart-ily.)
G- u. Taylor—Yes, that’s true; but you know
the battle?* not always to the strong.cbr
Gen. C.iss—Thut’sa fact. (Laughter.) How
do you fool,sir?
Gen. Taylor—Well, pretty well, thank you,
except Uwtl have tro or three ribs stove in,
that’s all; I suppose that’s merely a circumstance,
howevtr. (Thu evidently unintentional hit caused
derate laughter, in which Senator
Cansjoiqfd:Wi haartJly m nny one. When he
coulu gd bis face straight, he conUnued the con-
vcrsaHon.)
Gen. Cass—Ah, indeed; I am very sorry
heir it; where did it happen ?
Gni. Taylor—At Madison. You soc the In
dianiim.i felt a littlo sore about ono of my reports,
and nuked me to pay them a visit. Of course I
complied, to show Iliad no feelings against them.
Well, 1 got on board of a small boat at Madison,
to aWreWMbrl, and just as she was about
liar,. I humped out of tho saloon, which was
brilliantly lighted up, to speak to a fi lend. It ap
pears a large black trunk had been placed (in the
passage, and, ill Uio transition from tho glare of
the saloon, I did not perceive it, and the first
thing I know I thought both my legs, my arms,
nnd all m7 ribs wero stovo in. (Laughter/
I’m noarly well now, however.
Gen. Cass—I am very glad you ore, indeed.—
Gencrcl, allow mo to introduce my firiend, Mr.
Fitzgerald, of the Senate.
Ccn. Taylor—(shaking hands)—How do you
do. rir ? very glad to see you. I think I have had
somo correspondence with you before.
Mr. Fitzgerald a. nted.
Gen. C.um—I will do myself tho pleasure of call
ing on you again, General. Gooa morning.
Gen. Taylor— I to callagain, and often) 1
always bo happy to. < e you.
Hero they both shook bands again, and Gen.
Cass retired.
In the passage a gentleman met Gen. Case nnd
remarked •
Well, General, In all the States where I slump
ed, you got the vote.
Gen. Csss (laughing)—Wi ll, my friend, 1 am
very much obliged lo you, butM wish you had
stumped In two or three more.

From Chagres.
Mr. R. T. Steblino, accompanied by Mrs.
Class, and family, on their way North by
tho Cherokee, reached this city in the cars on
Saturday evening hut, from St. Alarks, Fla.,
where Uiey arrived in the barque H. T. Bart
lett, on the 6th instant, .after a passago of l wen
ty days from Chagres. Mr. 8. informs us that
when he left there were some forty engineers
waiting an opportunity at Cliagrcs to proceed up
the river, there being no vessel to accommodate
them. Upwards of five hundred persons were
anxiously awaiting Uieir turn for passage to Cali
fornia, and great speculation was carried on in
tli'o transfer of through tickets. No less than
threo hundred passengers were taken on tho last
trip of the steamer, and sailing vesMls were also
filled with as mopy as they could find room to ac
commodate.
Mr. S. is originally from Lima, and has also
informed us that the Peruvian Government have
sent the war steamer Rima, under Commandantc
Valliebesto, to the coast of California for the
protecUon of its subjects, who Iiave gone there in
search of gold.

hooks for subscription to new stock, lo Uie lunount
of $160,000, In order to erect a new mill by the
side of the one now in operation. The presen I mill
(says the Chronicle 4* Sentinel) to turning out
32,000 yards of cloth a week, which will soon be
increased to 50,000. Tlie demand for th<so goods
greatly exceeds U»o supply. Each loom gives a
product of 40 yards a day. There is s full supply
of worthy females, and of males who soek em
ployment it this important mechanical pursuit.
Their wsgessre good and satisfactory. All cl
are beginning to appreciate Uie wisdom of
bringing Uie loom, and the spindle to the cotton,
tho bread and tho meat; all seu the folly of being
at Uie useless and the enormous expense of carry
ing Georgia cotton, breadstuffi audiprovisions,
to Old or New England, to be wrought into com
mon goods, tor Georgia consumption.
Finances or the Ophba.—What we have of
ten predicted, via: Uiat Air. Fav’ssplendid Oper
atic Troupo and orchestra, in New-York, could
not be sustained without full houses and higher
prices, has come to pass. Air. Fav has publislicd
a card in which hrvstates that tlie receipts at the
A*tor Place Opera House for the fifty nights have
fallen short of Uie expenditures in the sum of six-
thousand dollars; and that if Uie remaining
twenty-five nights, or second season, be com
pitted st present prices, the InwVill be about
$20,000. He makes proposals fw increased prices
on the part of subscribers; which failing, the
Opera to to be discontinued.

strongly urges the necessity of her procuring a
larger and more convenient room, as It to impos
sible to accommodate all those applying for ad

Ws understand that Air. Cmables Butler
has been elected President of the Council of tbc
New York University.
Sudden Death.—Judge Kinosbvst, of Kings
bury, formerly State Treasurer of Ale., under
Gov. Kent, dropped dead, in the streets of Gar
diner, on Tuesday.
Ektba session or the N. Y. Leowlatube.—It
is said that one hundred members of the Ncw-York
Assembly,and several senators, though not a ma
jority of Jlial body, have signed a request to the
Governor to rail an Extra session of the Legisla
ture to dispose of the cocfc
Labor Fleet.—No less than thirty-eight square
rigged vessels sailed from Boston on the 1st inat.,
viz: 12 ships, 12 barques sod 14 brigs.
The AIint at Nbw-Yobn Defeated.— It now
appears that Uie project establishing a Branch
Allot at Nsw York, failed in Uie Senate, on the
last morning of the session.
ib Cabinet.—The New-101 k umrti
quirrr says: "The Ouffiet as s whole is one of the
strongest ever formed in this country,and affords
another cvidcnco of the practical sagacity of tho
I’rcuidcnl elect. It U worthy of^remark, too, that
while all tho members of this cabinet are gentle
men of high talent and enviable social position—
each ami ail of them, are inen'of spotless and
unblemished reputations— men wlio in all the
relations of life, liavo preserved Uie must exalted
private characters, and whose purity of lifo U
proverbial. Surely, a cabinet composed of such
men, with Zacii a tv Tavlos and Millard Fill-
mors at tho head of tho Government, gives a
promise for Uio ftiture of which every Whig in
the land may well feel proud, and which bids fair
to make Whig rule ss acceptable to tho candid
among our opponents as it will bo to Uie Whig
Party.
"It will be obeerved in analysing tlie names of
the cabinet, that the President has uctod inde
pendent of all artificial influences, and endeavor
ed to be guided by the more important considera
tion of public interest. Few, if any, of Uie indi-
viduaia selected, except Air. Clayton, have been
presented by any recommendation oUter than
Uieir own merits, and tkc acknowledged confl
deuce of Uie country in Uieir integrity and abili
ty. The cabinet has the advantage of being fresh,
energetic, pure and patriotic. It to composed of
men who have honorable ambition to stimulate
their efforts, talents to atrUlu them, and courage
equal to every just rcspsnsiMlity. Such an ad
ministration lias a msnil momentum to start
with, which must ensur« its success.
Mr. Fillmore’s Address.
Tlie oath of office war administered to the Vice
President elect on IbeMh hut., by Senator Atch
ison, the President pro tempore of Uie 8cnnte, when
Air. Fillmobb delivered the following patriotio
and eloquent remarks:
Sbnatobs: Never having been honored with a
seatou this floor, and never having acted as tho
presiding officer cf any legislative body, you will
not doubt my sincerity when I assure you that I
assume the respotsible duties of this chair with
a conscious want sf experience, and a Ju»t appre
hension that I sha’I often need your friendly sug
gestions, and more often your Indulgent forbear-
anno.
1 should indeed feel oppressed and dishearten
ed did I not recollect that the Senate to composed
of eminent statesmen, equally distinguished for
Uieir high intellectual endowments and Uieir
amenity of lusnnqrs—whose persuasive eloquence
to so happily tempered with habitual courtesy ss
to relievo your presldiug officer from all that would
be painful in Uie dkrhargeof his duty, and render
htopoeiton ss agreeable as it must be instrucUve.
Thus encouragrd and sustained, I enter upon
the duties assigned me firmly resolved todischarge
them with impart Ulity and to tlie beat of my abil
ity ; but I should d« injustice to the grealful emo
tions of my la-art, FI did not, ou this occasion,
express my wanned thanks for tho distinguished
Iwnor that lias been conferred upon mo, in being
called by the voice of tho Nation to preside over
ynur deliberations.
It will not, I trust, be deemed inappropriate to

( ThUgraphed to the Char Ueton Goto in. J
Tho BrilUli stcnuu'r America arrived at Halifax
on Thursday Inst, nUi Inst. Tho America left
Liverpool on tho 21th ult. for Horton, and brings

COTTON—During the fortnight intervening

maud for IhUnrticlo wns active, mid tho market
unusually animated. Oil the 11th ultimo a tro-
'ncndous excitement prevailed, and sales of fully
O.UOObnlc* were effected. From tho 10U» to tho
17th, American descriptions advanced ono farth
ing per pound, nnd Brazils, Surat and Egyptian
one-eighth. Tho sales from tho 9th to tuo lGtlr
were 89,000 bales, of which 75,000 were American
and 16,000 Brazils. Sinco tho 17th tho market has
relapsed, nnd it was In an inoctlvostate, and prices
again gave way. Tho aalcs were only to a limit
ed extent, amounting to 33,900 bales, nt a decline
of about an eighth of a penny on the previous
Barino’s Circular, for the fortnight ending on
tho23d ult., elates tliat 91,000 bales Iiave changed
hands during that period. They remark tliat on
Monday, Tuesday, Woduesday and Thursday,

considered tho quotations nn eighth of a penny un

Tills state of matters was expected, and a con
tinuance looked for, at least until after the sailing
of tlie steamer. Continued favorable advices from

congratulate you upon tlie scene now passing
before us. 1 allude to it In no partisan aspect,
but as an ever-recurring event contemplated by
the Constitution. Compare the peaceful changes

cent sanguinary revolutions in Europe. There,
the voice of the people has only been heard amid
the din of arms and the liorrors of domestic con
flicts; hut Imre, in our favored land, under the
guidance of our t Ynslituti.m, the resistless will of
the nation has, from time to time, been peacefully

I congratulate you, Senators, and I congratulate
my country, upon these oft recurring and cheer

Ml us hope Uiat the sublime spectacle which we
now witness may bo repeated as often as Uie pen-
pie shall desire a change of rulers, and that this
venerated Constitution and Uiis glorious Union
may endure forever.

inch or two as long an the carpet to wide, nnd
about four or five Indies in breadth, so ns to lie at
a distance from each stall'. This simple plan,
easy oi execution, will, we know, preservo a stair
carpet half ss long again as it would last without
the slips of paper.
