Britain and JTrance, each governed by popular strecls of Monterey on the 21st September, was
institutions, and consequently by parties. When
ever either of these nations has been involved
in war, no party, however opposed to the ex
isting administration, lias ever censured or re
viled it, or attempted to impede its operations.
All parties, forgetting their local animosities,
havo then agreed to regard their country us
their highest object of solicitude, and its pub
lic enemies as beyond their sympathies. In
the dispute between our own and the French
government in the last administration of Gen.
Jackson, no French party or French journal
became the advocate of our cause. AH French,
men were unanimous in opposition to us, and
in support of their own Government against us.
So in our disputes with Britain upon the Ore
native of North Carolina. lie* graduated at
West Point in 1836, and was Adjutant of his. -
regiment at the time of his death. As an officer*
he was ever active and distinguished. He ren
dered very important services in his capacity
as Adjutant in the battles of the 8th aud 9th of
May last. As Quartermaster in tiie old Cher,
okee nation in 1S3S, under Generals 8cott and
Wool, his services were pre-eminent in all the
operations preliminary to the removal of the
Clterokei'S. To attempt to hear any sufficient
tiibute to his rare virtues as a man, a gentle
man, and a friend, might cause ibis notice to
transcend its character as a record Interesting
to the public- But that public, which cherish

defended our claims. All British journals, all 'feel an interest in hearing of the exalted private

MR. WEBSTER.
Mr. Webster, in his late speech in Boston
suffered the following pretty compliment to his
countrymen to escapfe him.
P’The natural justice of a tear, it is perhaps,
not an American habit to consider. But, it is
ah American habit to count the cost." \ "
If the orator had confined his-remark to his
own Federat party, its truth would have been
confessed, mortifying as it is, to every citizen of
the Republic. But we scorn the charge as to
the American people. ' The Federalists do re
fuse to consider the natural justice of our war,
and they do count the cost. They do weigli
National honor and character, violated rights
and accumulated wrongs against the dollars and
cents, which it costs to vindicate and redress
them. They do what no other party in any
country, on the face of the earth ever does—
they side in lime with the enemies of their coun
try, and against their own Government. It is
bitter and humiliating truth which must man-

tie the clieek of. every American Democrat,
Neutral and patriotic Whig, with the blush of
shuifie, that in enlightened America alone of all
nations, has this traitorous practice taken root,
and llourishes its brazen branches in the open

press denounced it, but ii has received meriied
and indignant rebuke from ihe patriotic neutral
papers of the country; nnd with deep shame, be
it said, foreign journals snenr al it as “practice

We invite the attention oi ne true patriots of*
the country, of all who have not basely forfeited
ihe title of‘‘American citizens’’ to the follow
ing striking article from the Phihulelphia Led
ger, one of the ablest neutral papers of the
Union.
An experienced British officer in Canada,
writing in the Montreal Gazette upon the sub
ject of the acts of our Government and its mili
,tury operations, ili Mexico, views them in a
very difierent light from some of our Whig
Editors. V . - '
We make the following extracts
“If the Americun press, which exults in the
privilege, rather American than dignified, of
making, if possible, its own government appear
contemptible, has succeeded in bewildering the
Mexicans, by its crude and ridiculous conjec
tures on the designs of the war authorities, as
completely as it lias bewildered its own coun
trymen, the service done the “stute” has been
most patriotic.
“Instead, however, of being involved in a
daily changing vortex of puerile perplexities, as
it has pleased these papers to represent, the
government, having a leeble foe to deni with
commenced hostilities upon a well 'digested plan
of operations, and has pursued them with unde
viating regularity; nor was there but one pos
sibility that could cause a deviation. In the
catalogue of contingeuces, there was a possibil
ity that some party in Mexico might receive
Gen. Taylor with open arms, as an instrument
of elevating it to supreme power. The enthu
siastic Mr. Bancroft, oi the Navy Department,
may have given it some consideration, while his
sagacious colleague, Mr. Morey, of the Wur
Department, would give it a very little, and the,
result has pioved that it was worthy of none at
all.
“The original design has therefore gone stea
dily forwanJ, which was simply a succession of
invasion on the “flank" of Mexico, each of
which cuts ofFher territory, at a certain paral
lel, and paralyzes her authoiiiy to the north of
it.—For the west “flank” or coast, the fleet 8ta*«
tioned in the Pacific, was quite sufficient; and
Col. Stevenson’s regiment, whicli has gono
round to garrison the posts to be maintained, is
a stronger-force than the Mexicans ever had at
their place ofdeslination.”
British politicians, however divided upon do
mestic questions, made a common cause against
us. And in the war of 1S12, the, British offi
cers, naval and military, invariably exhibited
rgspect towards all Americans who faithfully
defended their own country, and treated with
unmitigated contempt, and often with the most
galling indignity, those Americans who courted
theiralliance. When they captured Castinein
Maine, they reviled, and even chastised the
“wooden nutmeg” traders who took the oath of
allegiance to the British GoAernment, for the
purpose of procuring a British license to trade
! with Britain or her colonies.
How does this contrast with the course of
American journals and American politicians ?
In the war of 1812, a t Stute Senate declared
that “it was unbecoming a moral and religious
people to rejoice in the successes of that wicked
war.” In our disputes with France, some of
those politicians and journals who “played such
fantastic tricks” in ttie war of 1812, defended
the course ol ihe French government, and de
clared, in high official places too, that, they
would not aid the measuies of their own gov-
eminent for the public defence, “though the en
emy were thundering at tli9 gates of the Capi
tol.” And in our recent disputes with Britain
her government was defended by no small por
tion of the American statesmen of no slight in
fluence. And in the present war with Mexico,
American presses and politicians are zealously
striving to justify Mexico, and exhibit their own
government to the world us ridiculous Or crimi
nal. Well mny the chivalrous patriot who
speaks through the Montreal Gazette, scornful
ly characterize the practice of reviling and op
posing their own country, through its goveru
ment, so freely indulged in by American jour
nals and politicians, as “more Amtrican than
dignified.” With shame are we compelled to
confess that the ineffably base practice is exclu
sively American. In all Europe, traitors are
despised, scorned, execrated. In the United
Slutes, they are applauded, courted, cherished
Dy a portion of those who arrogate superior res
pcctability.

“I have set down distances in miles, on a
rough calculation, merely us u guide to your

who have to march them, but they are sufficient
ly accurate to show that the whole eastern side
ofthe Mexican possessions, from the 42d de
gree of latitude, nnd Sunta Feto Vera Cruz, a
line, say, of 2,500 miles, is now covered with
American troops or ships of war, and though
so immensely long, all perfectly safe in its rear,
and resting upon supplies. If the American
government lias not, to gratify their newspapers,

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
Our attention is now attracted to a ray
light “located” on the left of the House, in llie
neighborhood of the Speaker’s chair. It pro
ceeds from that wonderful man, who in his per
son combines the tgiiator* poet, philosopher,
statesman, critic, and orator—John Quincy Ad
ams. There lie siis, hour after hour, day af
ter day, with untiring patience, never absent
from his seat, never voting for an adjournment
vigilant as the most jealous member of ihe
House, his ear ever on the ulert, always pre
pared to goal once into the profoundest ques
tion of state, or the minutest points of order.—
We look at him, and mark his cold and tearful
eye, his stern and abstracted gaze, and conjure
up phantoms of other scenes. We look upon
a more thito king, who has filled even - depart
ment of honor in his native land, still at his post;
he who was the President of millions, now the
representative of forlv-odd thousand, quarrel
ling about trifles, or advocating h'gb principles:
to-day growling and sneering at the House with
an abolition petition in his trembling hand, and
anon lording it over the passions, and lashing
the members into the wildest slate of enthusi
asm by his indignant and emphatic eloquence.
Alone, unspoken to, unconsulted with others, he
sits apart, wrapped in his reveries, or probably
he is writing—his almost perpetual employ
ment. He looks enfeebled, but yet lie is never
tired; worn out, but ever ready lor the combat:'
melancholy, but let a wirty thing full from any
member, and that old man’s face is wreathed
in smiles. He appears passive, but wo to the
unfortunate member that hazzards an arrow at
him—the eagle is not swifter in its flight than
Mr. Adams; with his agitated fingqr quivering
in sarcastic gesticulation, he seizes npon his
foe, and amid the amazement ofthe House,
rarely fails to lake a signal vengeance. His
stores of knowledge on every subject, gathered
up through the course of his extraordinary life,
is said never to have permitted a single fact to
escape it, give bint a great advantage over all
comers in encounters of this kind. He is a
wonderful, eccentric genius. He belongs to no
party, nordoes uny party belong to him. He
is of too cold a nature to be long a party leader.
He is originally of very peculiar ideas, and per
worth of such men, and will sympathize with
those who lament their departure, nnd extol :
their virtues. Lieut. Hoskins possessed a quick
and sagacious intellect; lie cherished r. high*
and nice sense of lioaor, and was remarkable'
for the generosity and chivalry ofhis character,-
und for those winning traits which ever secured
the regard and respect of those with whom he'
moved. The old ‘‘North Stale” never furnish
ed for the service ofthe country a more choice’
and noble spirit. North Carolina will ever be
proud of sons whose high character and gallant
bearing shall rival his.
Brevet Major Philip N. Barbour, of the 3d-
infantry, who also fell on the 21st September*-
was a native of Kentucky, and graduated at-
West Point iii 1834. He was breveted a Cap.
tain for gallant services in Florida on the lfitb*
April, 1842. He was breveted a Major from
9ili May last, fo*‘ gallant conduct in the battle'
ol Resaca de la Palma. He was ever, like a
true soldier, eager to distinguish himself, and s
fell at Monterey, in the thickest of the fight,
whilst his regiment was subjected to that mur
derous fire from masked batteries in the streets,*
which, after severely wounding its commander,*
Maj. Lear, killed three captains and and two
subalterns, and left the regiment commanded by'
its youngest captaiu. His loss will be severely
felt in his regiment. He was an ornament to*'
his profession, as much from his rare private'
virtues, as from his publiccharucter. Devoted
ly attached to his native State, he has ever,.-
throughout his career as in bis glorious death,
reflected great honor upon it. The army wilt-
lament his death ; it remains for the country to
record his name among its heroes. He was a
relation of the Barbours of Virginia.
Second Lieutenant J. S. Woods, of the 2tF
infantry, then on duty with the 4th infantry,-
who was killed in the same charge, was a na'.ivo
of Pennsylvania. He graduated at West Point .*
in 1844. He was breveted a First Lieutenant
for his gallantly on the 9th May at Resaca de'
ia Palma, whilst serving iu the 4th infantry, in
capturing a field piece from the Mexicans with
it very few men. He was a young aud modest
officer, son of n clergyman in the interior of
Pennsylvania. The citizens of his native town
had just presented a sword to him, for his gal
lantly on the 9th of May,little dreaming that he'
uras so soon to exhibit the same spirit in another'
signal victory,iu which he was slain.
First Lieutenant Douglass S. Irwin, of the
•3J infantry, killed at the battle of Monterey,
was the son ofMuj Irwin, of Old Point Com
fort, a gentleman well known and highly res
pected by all the officers of the army. Lieut.*
Irwin was educated at West Point, and distin
guished himself in the Florida war. He wa*
a mild, amiable man, beloved by the army, antf
his fate is deeply regretted by all his compan-
ions in arms. Had he lived, he would have
rapidly risen to command, as "ho possessed all
the requisites of an able officer.
Each one of the officers of the regular army'
who have fallen in those brilliant battles at'
Monterey, were graduates of West Point, ex
cept Lieut. Terrett, 1st infantry, from Virgin
ia, a young officer of high promise. Those -
battles reflect unfading lustre upon our aims,
and exhibit a remarkable instance of what Am
erican troops can accomplish, even in storming^
entrenched positions held by superior numbers.

HOW TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS:
In tho first place, make up your mind to ac*
complish whatever you undertake. Decider
upon some particular employment, and perse
vere in it. All difficulties are overcome by
diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your own bands,
nd dil gently too. “A cat in gloves catches
no mice.” “Ho who remains in the mill,
grinds, not he who goes and comes.” V.,
Altend to your own business, and never trust
to another. ‘ A pot that be'ongsto many, i»
ill stirred and worse boiled.”
Be frugal. “That which will not make a
pot, will mike a pot-lid.” “Save ihe pence-
nd the pounds will take care of themselves.”'
Be abstemious. “Who dainties love, shall
beggars prove.”
Rise early. “The sleeping fox catches no*
poultry.’’ “Plow d-ep while sluggards sleep,
and you will have corn to sell and keep.”
“’■•eat every one witb respect and civility.
Evi r_v thing is gained and nothing lost by
courtesy.” “Good manners insure success. ,f

OUR-WAR WITH ’MEXICO.
The sagacious soldier who. in the Montreal
Gazette, criticises the tactics ofthe Federal ad
ministration, and ofthe philosophers ofthe par-
lizan press who criticise them, says that the ex
ultation exhibited by those philosophers, in try
ing to make tficir own government ridiculous,
is rather American than dignified. This is a
grave charge. Bilt with shame are we obli
ged to confess its truth. Americans alone, of
all people in the woild, are entitled to the infa
mous distinction of taunting tho successes of
and, iti a moment, throwing himself into the
altitude of a veteran gladiator, he prepares for
the attack, then lie becomes full of gesticulation
his body sways to and fro, self-command seems
lost; his head is bent forward until it touches
the desk; his voice frequently breaks, but lie
pursues his subject through all its- bearings,
nothing daunts him—the House may wring
with cries of order! mnsoved, contemptuous,
he stands amid thei tempest, and like an oak
that knows its gnarled and knotted strength,
stretches his arm forth, and defies the blast.
Dem. Review.
He who whits for dead men’s shoes, may have
lo go for a long time barefoot.” “He who
runs after a shadow, lias a wearisome race.”
Above all things never despair. “God is
where he was.” ‘-Heaven helps those who
help themselves.”
Follow implicitly these precepts, nnd nothing
can hinder you from accumulating.
The Rev. Mr. Niles, of Lowell, in crossing
over the ferry at East Boston, had his pockets
picked of six manuscrijtt sermons—not one of
whicli was preached. His regiets are only e-
quafied by those of the thief, who probably im
agined he had a package of bank notes us hia
prize.—Petersburg Republican.

but it hindcreth the march—Bacon.
GOOD A Li VICE.
A man of business should take care to consult
occasionally with persons ofa nature quite dif
ferent.from his own. To very few me given
all the qualities to form a good man of business*. -
Thus, a man may have the sternness and fixed
ness of purpose so necessary in the conduct of .
affairs, yet these qualities prevent him, per
haps, from ottering in‘othe characters of tliow
about him. He is likely to want tact. H-*
will be unpiepared for the extent of versatility
and vacillation in other mem But these clef* cts
and oversights might he remedied bv consult
ing with persons whom he knows \o be posses
sed of the qualities stipi'lemeiit in- to In* own.
Men of much depth ot niin.l can bear a great
deal ofcoun.se],for it does not easily deface their
own character, nor render their purposes void.
