Now, i it the President did not, in December last, regard those territories as part of the Uuitcd States, we beg sonic of Ids organs to explain to ns exactly what he meant when lie congratulated the country in his annual message upon ‘ THE RECENT RAPID EXTENSION OP OPR TERRITORIAL limits.” If he did not mean California nnd New Mex ico, we pray some of his friends to tell us what on enrth he did menn. The truth is, the functionaries at Wash ington did consider those territories as already a portion of their political heritage, hut they were scared away from the spoils by the indignant voice of the na tion. like a vulture from nn untusted carcass—Boston Atlas. Conquering it Peace. Py “ conquering a peace” the administration means conquering n war, for peaee was effectually conquered when Mr Polk commenced, U|m his own responsibili ty, the present contest. But Ins mode of illustrating his meaning is ns singular ns the phrase hv which he ex pressed ii Peace was to he conquered in a lew months: nearly a year and a half have transpired, un i the result dies before us like a horizon, nu-1 seems more remote than when we I eg-m th s scries of u.ipn titahl- achieve ments To ennq-.mr a p ace, \t ,i, lk .!■ hy, • Genera!

To conquer* pence, he still denied the hero the nten and means re qu red to advance ; and then reproached him because, having efleeted nitrides at which the world gazed with admiration, he did not efleet more. Tit conquer a peac” Mr Polk withdrew Taylor's most efficient forces, and exposed him. apparently a certain sacrifice, to Santa Anna with the liest appointed army Mexico has brought into the field, four times our number. To conquer peace- Mr Polk dismissed Gen.Scottfiomhisliightriist.be eattse he dared to use a soldier's frankness in giving the view - which all subsequent experience lias proved to have been wise and patriotic. To conquer pence, he a.t owards sent the Hero of Chippawa to Vera Cruz w:t!t promise! ot ample support—promises that were bud. it ulmot so soon ns made, nnd the violation of w hich h..s I ,t him niidwey in a career of triumph, ap- parently powerless, and c.-rt-inly in imminent peril— This is the military manner m wiiioh Mr. Polk conquers |tencv He s ks to effect it, how. ver, ftv other nt.-aiLS t-quitl'y extmotdnirrv ; hv engaging Sant* Anna and Qfitatc the g to rcise.otgan.ze eutl s,. f .ply vast ainn -s ; and to th ‘itt oil to t-.e dt st.act.t it of our ct untryn-en. i o to: q.l.'i peace,he off- s also to buy it—to brib..- th ■ Mexicans to grant it—as Jeg ner te Rome, towards her ! c.me, bought off th ■ hordes upon her NoithetU frontier. Three millions of dollais march, under ap prt-print ■le id.-ts, to tins scheme ot conquest. But w ..;ti sotttd pt-ace is tltat w.-hich is lobe (hue gallantly cou qt.ued t We have been t.-IJ, by tite a.luunistratt. n, tltat Mexico must pay the debt sl.e owes us ; but now we leant that Mr Tr.st is authorized to remit that obliga tioi.—(lie conqueror agrees to pay it himself. We have nssu.cd dial .'dex.ro must, as preliminary to peace, in deumify us for the expenses of the war ; hut we now hear that tin- conqueror agrees to assume that a Iso We were tolii that the wrongs of our citizens were to Im* re dressed ; hut attain the terrible conqueror assumes, in addition, that burthen. There are millions on millions, which cannot amount to much less than two hundred, for which our |>oople are made answerable by this loud- ! mouthed conqueror of peace. Hut is tins all ? No, Mr I Polk oilers, ii is said, to pay three millions upon the nail, (probably to bribe the government de facto.) and to bind the* nation to pay Mexico ninny millions more, if she will permit us to conquer upon these terms, a peace ! What a hero is our President! Yet even upon these terms, the proffer is rejected with disdain, the discomfit ed and routed enemy is again in the field, *25,000 strong* against our little army, and peace is now more remote than ever. Hut it is sail!— true, we g*t no justice from Mexico, her debt remains unpaid, our war expenses unliquidated our injuries unredressed—hut we receive a vast addition of territory. Is this, then, the secret ? At lust it is 1 avowed that all other pretexts for this one man’s war were mere pretexts; its sole, whole, only object, wa 9 conquest,acquisition, and the extension of the institu tion of slavery. Iniquitous and revolting as is the as pect thus given to the councils of the executive, their base ness does not relieve th ir imbecility. They are ‘ even more weak than wicked They have secured no thing, save the execrations and contempt ol the country which they involved in this wrong, aad the reproach of posterity. We ask the moderate of all parties to say whether our history, or any history, ever presented such a spec tacle of bold promise and imbecile execution, of tolly in during, and feebleness m doing ! With all the re sourc sos a great and willing nation, and th<* courage of leaders and soldiers like outs, at his command—such is die manner in which James h Polk “conquers peace.”— Sorth Amertcun.

V: <v.!..te of *• Old Zaelt.” M f! dfi nan. editor of the New York Literary On zette J •• and some years ago a personal acquaintance with (..•tl Taylor, and in noticing one of the “ Lift*,” tells iho following characteristic anecdote of the old hero: While indulging in these gossiping references, which we know will interest some of ottr readers, we may hr.o relate an anecdote of Gen Taylor, which we oner h. r!. amid the early scenes of the Blaek Hawk w-ar on Reex r.ver, and which, though never verified to our knowledge, still sremsmost characteristic of the R rough I nnd R ’ndy of later years. Some time after Stillman's defeat by Black Hqwk’s hand, Taylor, marching with a large hodv of volunteers and a handful of regulars in pursuit of th r * hos til'* Tnfflnn force, f'Hind hPun. Ts np* * proachinij Rock river, t!i *n nw**rred hy many to lie the 1 true north-westr*m boa i larv of th** State of Illinois Tlie volunteers, a? T vlor was infiimed. woul! refuse j to croflß stream. They were militia, they mid ctll eil out for the defence of the State, nnd : t w**s unconsti tutional to order them to march heyon 1 it* frontier into 1 the Indian country. Taylor thereupon halted his com mand, nnd encamped within th * acknowledged boun daries of Illinois. He woul 1 not. as ffip relator .1 the story said, budge an inch further without orders.— He had already driven Black Hawk out of the State, but the question of crossing Rock river seemed hugely to trouble his ideas of integrity to the constitution nn the one side, and military expediency on the other—l During the night, however, orders came eitiie** from Gen. Scott or Gen. Atkinson,for him to follow up Black Ilawk to th** last. The quietness of the Regular colo nel meanwhile had rather encouraged the mutinous mi litia to bring their proceedings to a bend. A sort of town-meeting was called upon t(ie prairie, and Taylor invited to attend. After listening for some time very quietly to the proceedings, it became Rough and Ready’s turn to address the chair. “He had heard,” he said. “ with much pleasure the views which several speakers had expressed of the independence ami dignity of each private American citizen. He felt that all gentlemen there present were his equals—in reality, he waspersua- * ded that many of them would in a few years be his su- ‘ periors, and perhaps, in the capacity of members of Congress, arbiters of the fortune and reputation of hum ble servants of the Republic lik*‘ himself. He expected | then to obey them as the interpreters of the will of the people ; and the bent proof he could give that he would obey them, was now to observe the orders of thnec : whom the people had already put in the placet of nu- i thority, to which many gentlemen around him justly as pired. In plain Engl sh, gentlemen nnd teffow-citizens, th* word bus been passed on from Washington to follow Black Hawk, and to take yon with me ns soldiers. 1 mean to do both.

The Cincinnati Commercial says: “The finmes commenced in the three larg warehouses owned by Gen. Colima, which were entirely consumed ; and such was the heat and the rapidity of the fire, in its destroying course, that three other build ings (frames) were also destroyed. The latter were owned by Mr. Newton Cooper, and occupied by several families. A quantity of hemp nnd bagging, belonging to the Maysviile Manufacturing Company, and amoun ting, in value, to about $*2*2,000, was destroyed. The entire loss hy this fire is estimated nt between thirty md thirty five thousand dollars, of which about ten 1 ilu'u and is known to be covered by insurance.” .More .Specie for the Army.
