Tint following amusin? jen d'esprit from the Danvers (Mass.) CoarUr, will excite the ri ibles of every reader, be be Whig or Dem ocrat : Ilobert Peel sworn—Hove bail something to do with managing intercourse between I nations. The laws of nations are verv | elastic on the subject ofjust causes of war. There are various causes which justify war. It is considered justifiable to make war on weak nations, for reasons that would be un justiable if the opposing party was strong. — Boundaries nre a fruitful cause of war. A plausible pretext ought to be found or invent ed belore going to war, even with a weak na tion. lt is justifiable to make war on an ig norant and semi-barbarous people to get their territory, or make them receive opium, rum or gunjaiwder. It is considered sufficient reason to make tvaron a barborous people because they arc dark colored, and live on rice, or by hunting. Christian nations make war on these tribes to teach them civiliza tion and Christianity. They do this by first introducing cannon balls nnd grape-shot to destroy them, or runt and gunpowder, by which they will destroy themselves. Chris tian nations sometimes war with each other, to decide which nation is the most Christian nation, or to determine whether a certain Ital ian gentlemen at Home is the head of the Church. It is justifiable for a nation to em ploy a press-gang to steal men to serve on board ships of war. Cross-examined—National debt of Great Dritian very large. Witness has bad much trouble in maniiging it. Amounts to bUO millions of pounds sterling. Its annual interest amounts to 200 millions u! dollars. The debt was contracted by reason of wars with for eign countries. It is very oppressive to the people. John Russell—Witness is now Premier in the government of Great Dritian. Hus heard the evidence of the last witness, and agrees with him on the subject of wars with weak nations. The great national debt of Great Britain was caused by her wars. Its interest is a perpetual tax on the laboring classes of tlie country, ll universal suffrage prevailed there, as in the United Stutc the debt would be at once repudiated. Mrs. Victoria Guelph Coburg, sworn— 1 fTltis witness was an English lady, of genteel 1 curri.igo and modest appearance, and was at tende l b) Wr husband, Mr. Albert Coburg, mol scv 1 small children, all under nine years of a re. Witness gave Iter testimony with much fluency mid without embarrassment, having been accustomed to speuking in pub lic. As her evidence was n mere echo oftluU of the proceeding witnesses, we omit it.) Arthur. Duke of Wellington. railed—Thin was a tall, venerable looking individual, with a military hearing, who “toted that he had some knowledge in political and military af faire. Upon being inked tha usual question. What w re just cause* of quarrel between iiulionH l” lie replied us follows It is necessary and useful to make war to get rid of u redundant population Kvery nation has i few annual thousands of its lower or ders, whom it is expedient to kill off by war. When i,at engaged in fighting with a civili ze I people, it is necessary to make w;ir on sav age people to keep the soldiery in practice. Criss questioned—Soldiers ought not to he troubled hy religious scruples. A religious man lias no business in a camp. Do not be lieve in the Anal prevalence of pacific princi ples. Have a better opinion of mankind Such n stats of tilings would render the world unlit for a gentleman and a soldier. Louis Pfnliiipe sworn—This was n French geuttemajj of large stature mid portly mein.— Ife spooks the English language fluently, with only a slight French accent. Witness lives in France. Frenchmen love war and military glory. Thinks it lawful to make war on people wlm refuse to trade with you on your own terms. Sometimes two strong na tions unite lo blockade the port of a weaker one, to force the latter to trade with them.— I It is also lawful lor a strong nation to take j possesion of Islands in tiie ocean inhabited by natives partly civilized and Christianized Jto j force upon them ardent spirits and the vices of civilized communities, as these things jiro mote trade, lt is likewise lawful to make war on a people who wear turbans, sit cross legged, and refuse to out pork. Cross examined —Think it right to repel in vasion. Cannot blame the Mexicans tor re sistance when a foreign army invade their ter ritory anil deslroy their people. Should do the same thing under similar circumstances. Wars have entailed a heavy debt on the French nation. Stanislaus Nicholas—Am a native of Rus sia. and know something of the war code in that country, ll is therefore considered law ful to make war in all cases stated by former witnesses. It it also considered right lor three strong nations to conquer a fourth, and partition it among the conquerors. If resistance is made, those who make it are exterminated, or made exiles of Siberia.” It is proper lor a nation with extensive territory to make war oil its neighbor to get more territory —and then it is more absolutely necessary to ob tain more. It the )*xiplc presume to question your right, exterminate them. Think the war against Mexico a just one by the Russian code; witness is engaged in a similar one with the Caucassians. Thomas Ritchie—l am acquainted with the management of national affairs; had for merly much to do with the political atiairs of \ irginta consider Virginia a great nation.— Have lately had my attention directed to managing the atiairs of the United States. — Consider the present war with Mexicojust and honorable on the part of this government— All the ja-ople ought to give it their approba tion, whether it is right or wrong or be looked upon as trmiors lo their country. — Think the Mexicans ought to be humbled.— Have always urged the carrying on the war, ’* with vigor’” “ greater vigor,” - more vigor ” ‘increased vigor,” “renewed vigor.” Mr. Tyler now stated that the wished to call a few witnesses* to testify to the prison ers former good character. George M. Dallas —Considered the prison er an upright man and good Democrat. Has known iiim three years. Cross-questioned—Am Vice President un der the prisoner ;we were both appointed—l mean nominated, by the Baltimore Conven tion. Feel bound to obey the resolutions of that Convention, in preference to the will of the people. James Buchanan—Am a Secretary of State Have known the prisoner ten years. Have always considered him a manor integrity and an obliging gentleman. Never thought he was quarrelsome. Cross exaune ■! —Was appointed to office by the prisoner. Prepared by the instructions to Mr. Trist by direction of the prisoner.— Think the prisoner passed as a Tariff man in Pensylvania when he was voted tor at the lust election for President. Witness is opjxised to tlie doctrine of the Wilrnot proviso. Robert J. Walker liave known the prisoner twelve years, and always esteemed him a kind hearted and honorable man. Was appointed by him to odice, and directed to muk report on a tariff. Cross-examined—Expenses of the war very large—Continual drain on the Treasury.— Have to try various expedients to raise the wind. Would like to have the war stop, if it could be done, and save the credit of the prisoner. If it docs not, it will be hard to save the credit of the country. If it should stop to-morrow, it will make a national debt oftwo hundred millions of dollars. Witness thinks it well to make different rates of duty on iin s* ed and flaxseed. Doiit tinnk the’national ueht we are now creating will be paid by this generation. The people who are to pay it are not yet born. Witness came Iroin Mkssis ippi, anti was in favor of repudiation in that State. Is not ready to say that it is expedi ent at the present to repudiate the debt of the United States. More money will he wanted to go to Mexico, if the war continues. If the debt should be very large, it will then be am ple time enough to think of repudiation. Thomas H. Benton.—Have known the pris oner fourteen years and thinks he is a good , sort of a man.—Have good reason to think well ofJiim us I once had the otter of a Lieu tenant General’s commission from him. Cross questioned—Have no doubt the war might have been avoided. Always thought tlie order to cross the Nueces precipitate and rash. This war might also have been better carried on. John C- Calhoun—Hud an acquaintance with the prisoner eight or nine years. Call him a very clever man. He was considered at Washington a man of small parts. Cross examined—This Mexican affair lias been miserably managed. The order to Gen. Taylor to cross the Nueces was a most insane project. Don’t know who advised the meas ure. He advised against it. William L. Marry. —Am Secretary of War. j Have known the prisoner several years. Have I been intimately acquainted with him the last I three years. Think him an upright and oroide m.m. Don’t know where there better man. Jam t’ o <| 11> -lion.

An anti-renter may be an old hunker Whig, but bnrnhurni r cannot he an old bunker, nin thor can an old Inmkcr lie a barnburner, til thougli both may be Democrats; barnburners are by no mentis to la- suspected of nay design to burn tin ir neighbors’ hunts; t ime of the highest officers iuttto Stole ara barnburners; VOL. XXV —No. 39. my own sympathies are in lavor of tin- barn burning interest. Witness was a carol slut* Mr nomination at the Baltimore conVr-iiiou. y anti- rexas opinions defeated my nomination — a salutary warning to all candidates for office, not to express opinions. Am afraid that Tex as has cost us a great deal more tharT h is worth. The evidence on behalf ol the prisoner now closed, and the cause was ably argued by Mr. Tyler lor the prisoner, and Mr. Adams for the people. The jury was then charged by the court, and conducted to the jury room by the Sheriff. We regret that owing to the illness ol our reporter, we arc unable to present our readers with the closing arguments of counsel or the charge to the jury; and unless the lear ned gentlemen will themselves prepare their several articles lor publication, they must be lost to the public. After deliberating twenty six hours, without refreshment, the jury r ime in. and by their foreman. Mr. Virginia, declar ed that they were unable to agree upon a ver dict. upon which they were discharged. It is understood that eleven were for convic tion. and one fbrncquilal, on the ground of in- I sanity. The majority of the jury complain much of the obstinacy of the individual who stood out. whose name is Mr. S. Carolina. He complains equally loud at the obstinacy of” the other eleven, and says it is not the first time that they have refused to listen to rea son. • There wore twenty-eight jurors called at the commencement of the trial, of whom about ten or twelve were peremptorily challenged by the prisoner, and Messrs. Massachusetts, Ohio, and several others, were challenged tor cause, they having expressed an opinion. Mr. Ada#.- on behalf of the people, moved that a jury he empanelled to try the prisoner again on the same indictment This nvjs ip posed by the prisoner’s counsel on the gftnia# of the absence of a material witness, and trie A of the prisoner, one Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. The court then granted a motion for a continuance of the cause on a future day. The court then adjourned, the prisoner be ing first remanded to jail. Short Sermon on politeness* It is not poli'e to tell stories at the table, and it is eviden-e of a vulgar mind to jest, joke and ridicule at such a place. No gentleman will permit himself to indulge habitually in this I little “ table-talk.'’ It is not polite to obtrude your own affairs upon the attention of others, by representing | what thing-you have accomplished. &c. U i indicate- inordinate selfesteem and is a sup remely disgusting exhibition of it. It i- not | ii,t( to indulge in a snivJirnr. half sarcastic laugh while objecting to sonic - remark or act of another. It indicates a very small mind and a hypocritical sheep stealing disposition.—What you have to say. speak out plainly and distinctly without fear or favor. It is not polite to indulge in backbiting to wards another, at the same time appear ing friendly to In- lace. It indicates a coward ly and snakish-mind. It is not polite to carry refitrion, or rat! r ■ the firms of it into a cold, stiff morality on the Sabbath day. and cast the virtues of Chris tianity ort; like a loose mantle, six days of the | week. It shows that religion is abused rather i than used. It is not polite to exhibit a littleness in pc- * euniary matters especially toVard- those who ’ deal fairly and generously by you—and to j whom you are indebted lor a goodly portion of 1 your income. It is not polite to break into the conversa tion of others abruptly and give an opinion tin- jd solicited.—lt is an evidence of ill breeding. It is not polite to enter into personal contro versies. and bar room brawls, particularly when it is an annoyance to others. It is not polite to engage in dispute with a* blackguard, for in so doing you put youiseli’jf’ on a level with him. It is not polite to refuse a favor when y-u need it. neither is it oolite to exiend out: an! s you can do it cordially. It is not polite to lavish money proAisely-’tn’ keep up appearances, at the expense; of honest J creditors. It smacks a little ofdi-honesty. It is not polite to crowd yoursell intosociety where you are not wanted. It proves tluit pride has got the upper hand of reason. It is not polite to call at stores merely to - make examination of goods with no intention of buying. It looks two much like shop lifting. It is not polite to crowd into nil editors sanc tum. disarming!* his pnjiers. read his manu script ami detain him with idle conversation. With him, time is money. It is not polite to beg newspapers, nor is it honest to st.-al them. It i not polite to lake a newspaper for a nmlth n top it without paying a amble you ..ii. uiglH stiii.^^^^H w mild ■ jfl V , - m
