"SHORTEST WAY OF TERMINATING THE WAR—
PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
Our foice.s have taken possession of
the enemy's frontiers. We hold territo
ries as indemnity for the war, and the
great object of our Government ought
now to be to secure peace as rapidly and
at as great a saving of life and money as
possible. The Mexican Congress will
meet in December, but their own agent
7 O
assures us they will demand an indem
nity even for the boundary of the llio
Grande. It would seem that nothing short
'ol an army marching upon the Capitol
Will bring that Congress to a sense of their
position, and hence the importance of
equipping our Northern Volunteers for
this service. Having landed our forces
at Alvarado, Vera Cruz could easily he
reduced on the way to the city of Mexico,
and once at the gates of the latter, we
iniglit have less difficulty in making peace.
Simultaneously with the landing at Al-
Varado, the squadron ought to rnenance
San Juan d’Ulloa, draw the enemy’s
forces on the Gulf coast into Vera Cruz,
and at the same time keep Santa Anna
and his forces actively employed in the
North.
i he castle of San Juan d’Ulloa is pro
ha hi y the best prison we could find for
those now in it, and the people of Vera
Cruz can either take the consequences of
resistance or purchase immunity from the
ravages of war, by sharing with us those
immense treasures they have placed at
the disposal of the enemy. It appears to
its that the movements here indicated are
altogether practicable. They would cer
tainly secure peace, if carried oiJt during
the month of December. The policy of
Mexico will be to waste the winter months
in idle negotiation, or in exciting debates
i-n the two national legislatures, knowing
that we cannot move on Vera Cruz or
the gull coast in summer; and it is prO- j
hahle that the stubbornness of Central
.Mexico, where our forces have not yet
appeared, will overthrow any Govern
ment that consents to a treaty of peaces ,
unless we have an army on the spot to
demonstrate our power. \Vc, therefore,
submit to our Government the propriety
of calling out the northern volunteers to 1
capture the enemy’s Capitol, and thus
-complete next December , a work which
Nve may have to perform, thirteen mouths j
hence.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS;
If the news from Mexico to the effect
that Santa Anna had utterly failed to pro
cure a loan of a million of doll a rs, be
true, We do not apprehend the levy of
large reinforcements to swell the armv
of the North. Mexican soldiers, though
poorly fed and worse paid, will neither
enlFt nor fight, without provisions and
money. . It is our belief that Santa Anna, ;
with all his popularity, influence and as
tuteness, will be unable to bring into the
field a much larger force than that which
defended Monterey, viz:—about seven
tliousand regulars. This impression is
Confirmed by the intelligence that after i
all the wordy patriotism of the Mexicans
and their fervent protestations of willing,
ness to meet the foe, the General in Chief i
bt the Army Was compelled to leave the
capitol with only 2,000 cavalry and 800
infantry. This is hut a lame conclusion
to the swelling prologue of the decrees of !
the Provisional Government, ordering
new levies of 30,000 troops, and com
manding the most extensive preparations ,
for organized resistance. We had really
imagined that the presence ofSaula Anna
would have proved effectual in stirring
up Mexican resolution, and that lie would
have succeeded at all events, in recruit
ing his Army by the voluntary enrolment
of some thousand of citizens. But even
ihe attachment of the people to the Dicta
tor, Rnd their obstinate and ferocious
hatred of the Americans, appear insuffi
cient to nerve them with the necessary
resolution to brave the perils of war
against the dreaded troops of our Army.
Willi respect to the small force which
accompanies Santa Anna to San Luis Po
tosi, its very composition, if correctly
slated, militates against the supposition
of its usefulness. A thousand infantry
will prove a very inconsiderable acces
sion to ihe Mexican Army. Two thou
sand cavalry are of no earthly use when
Mint up within the walls of a fortified town.
Horsemen are available and efficient in
an open plain and only there. Elsewhere
they may make a show hut can accom
plish nothing.
From the most authentic accounts it
seems positive that no resistance will be
offered to the advance of Gen. Taylor
from Monterey as far as San Luis Potosi,
but that when lie arrives at the latter
place he may expect another battle. The
difficulty, according to many, will be to
get there, as our Army will have to tra
verse nearly a hundred leagues of an
arid and'barren territory, alike destitute
of water and provisions. If, however,
old “Rough and Ready,’’ should reach
San Luis Polos 1 ., we may look out for an
other fight and another victory. The is
sue can never be doubtful, when the
Mexican strength does not exceed ours
three fold; nor need there be any appre
hension of our being repulsed from San
Luis Potosi, when Monterey, the very
citadel of that pai l of the country, forti
fied so as to he considered impregnable,
■ and garrisoned hv a heavy force was sur-
O -
rendered after three days’ hard fighting.

LIVERPOOL.
TTie history of Liverpool displays one of
the most extraordinary instances of the ra
pidity with which some of the emporiums of
the world have risen, as if touched with the
magic wand of some mighty magician, from j
obscurity to the proud position of colossal
commercial cities. From a small fishing
village lias this town progressed to possess,
next to London, greater splendor and impor
tance than any other town in the empire.
The rapidity of its rise is exemplified in the
fact, that since the beginning of the eigh
teenth century, it has increased in popula
tion fifty fold, or from five thousand inhabi
tants to more than a quarter of a million.
Respecting the etymology of its name, va
rious opinions have arisen; but although the
subject slid remains a mailer of doubt, it is !
generally believed to be derived from a fahu- j
lous bird called the hirer; and this, accord
ingly, figures in the arms of the town.
Previous to the Conquest, it would seem
that a few fishermen had established them
selves here; for, immediately after, the
chapel of St. Nicholas was erected; hut as
no mention is made of Liverpool in Dooms
day Book, the few huts thus clustered to- ’
gelber do not appear to have borne any
name. The first approach to anything like
a town was the erection of the Castle, about :
1076, by Roger do Poictier.-; and a few years
alter tins the town first assumed its name.
The first charter was granted by Henrv I, in
1129; but the conquest of Ireland, in 1172, |
by opening the intercourse between the two 1
countries, had the foundation of the com
merce ol Liverpool, though its progress was
very slow; its rise and its growth to impor- i
tance having all taken place within the last
two centuries.
It is apparent, from this description, that
Liverpool was, not quite a couple of centu
ries ago, a small fishing town, of little note,
and containing but few houses. What a
contrast between what it then was, and '
what it now it! Never, perhaps, did a town ;
in Europe spring from such poverty and in
significance to such opulence and importance
in so short a time. Within the last century j
in particular, streets and public edifices seem
to have started into existence as if by the
magic agency of the enchanter’s spell; hard
ly a vestige of what was remains; every
thing is new, and everything wonderfully
improved. At that time there were no docks
to harbor her vessels; there was no spirit j
for commercial enterprise:—now, on the con- :
trary, spacious harbors extend for miles along
the river side, the edge oflhe town presents
a “forest of masts;” a thousand majestic
looking vessels sweep across the surface of
the ocean, and bring to her port the produce
of every clime. Tne streets, which were
then so few in number, so mean in appear- '
ance, and but little used to the hum of I
business, are now countries, grand, and for (
ever busy; her tradesmen arc respectable j
and intelligent, and her merchantsenterpris- |
ing and wealthy.
The principal causes of the rapid increase I
in its population are the advantages of
its situation for carrying on an extensive
commerce with all parts of the world, and its
central situation in the kingdom and prox
imity to the Irish coast, which mark it out as
the great entrepot for the products of the
two countries; while its local neighborhood
to Manchester and the great clothing dis
. . . °
incts, for which it imports-the cotton of the ’
Eastern and Western hemispheres; and from
which it again receives Hie manufactured
fabrics that fill the markets of the world, i
combines to give to its port the incessant ac
tivity for which it is characterised, and to
increase the immense capital of its mer
chants.
In the year 1709 the first wet dock was
construcied, being the earliest undertaking
of the kind in the empire; thus giving a sta
bility to the trade of Liverpool which no do- i
meslic or national calamity can shake. Since
then the guardians of tiie port have, from
time to time, been adding to the dock accom- |
rnodation,generally anticipating the wants :
of the community. The Old Duck is nut now
in use, its site having been appropriated to
the erection of the present Customhouse and
other offices connected with the trade of the
port. The old Customhouse w T as situated on
the east side of this dock: not a vestige of the ,
building now remains.
In 1720, a great undertaking was com
menced for facilitating the communication
between Manchester and Liverpool, by mak
ing ihe rivers Mersey and Irwell more navi- J
gable, and forming a canal. By these means j
Hie “flats,” which were previously ten or |
eleven days in going from one town to the ‘
other, could now, by taking advantage of ihe
tide, accomplish the same in as many hours.
How amazingly this distance has been again |
shortened by the introduction of steam power
is familar to all.
“Rapid as was the progress of the com
merce of Liverpool in the last century,” says
a writer in the Colonial Magazine, “it is 1
quite equalled at the present day. From the
large share the merchants possessed in the \
African slave trade, it might have been ap
prehended that the cessation of that traffic j
would have seriously affected their interests. |
But it was not so. A succession of causes
continually tended to open up fresh channels
for enterprise, and to give increased facility |
to mercantile operations. The most power- j
ful of these was the warehousing system 1
which gave all the advantages of a tree port
to one possessing so many natural and arti
ficial advantages. It was followed by the I
partial opening of the trade to the East Indies;
next, by the introduction of steam navigation; j
and during late years, by the complete aboli
tion of the East India Company’s monopoly.
In addition to these causes, the rapid ad
vance of our original descendants in the
New World, in wealth and population, has
called into operation an intercourse chiefly
carried on through this port. Lastly, with
her skilful engineers, and fortunate position
as the outport of a country abounding in
mineral fuel, she holds the sinews of that
mighty power which is extending its con- ;
quests over the wide world; walking the
waters through storm and calm, and bridging
the Atlantic itself; gliding over the peopled
plains of the Old World, through the eternal
forests of the New; and, as it passes along,
scattering in its train civilised man, his en
ergies guided by Christian knowledge, and
by his expanding wants, and rational de
sires.”
The port of Liverpool, a municipal and par
liamentary borough, is situated upon the east
ern bank of the estuary of the Mersey, in 53
degrees 24 minutes 12 seconds ol north lati
tude, and 2 degrees 59 minutes 18 seconds of
longitude west of Greenwich. The present
limits of the town comprise about two-thirds
of the parliamentary borough; its length from
north to south (measured from Brunswick
Dock to the Gasworks in Vauxball-road) is
about 2A miles; its breadth from the river to
tSt. Mary’s Church, Edge-hill. miles; and
its area somewhat exceeds 2500 acres.
The Mersey is navigable for vessels of con
siderable burden as far as the mouth of the
Irwell, a distance of thirty-five miles from
Liverpool, ft derives its source from the
confluence of several small streams on the
Cheshire and Derbyshire frontier; and, after
pursuing a serpentine course for some dis
tance, a little below the town of Warrington,
it expands into a broad arm or estuary of the
sea. This estuary is three-quarters of a mile
broad at Liverpool; but, in proceeding in
land, its breadth is much more considerable,
being above three miles across at its widest
point. This peculiarity of shape is of oreat
advantage to the port; as, in consequence of
so large a b dy of water passing and repass
ing at every tide, the navigation of the Mer
sey is always kept open. A range of sand
banks run parallel with the coast for many
miles; but several channels intervene, by
which vessels of the largest draught may, at
high water, enter with ease and safety.
Commerce. —Liverpool presents one of
the most remarkable instances on record of
tfie vast influence of commercial speculation,
when pursued with steady vigor, prudence,
and resolution. Two centuries ago, we find it
described as “the little fishing creek of Liver
pool,” being then, along with Beaumaris and
Caernarvon, a dependent port of Chester;
and, at a later period, in the year 1709, it
possessed only 81 ships, of the burden of
5789 tons, lis progress as a commercial
port may be best traced from (be number and
burden of the vessels which have entered the
docks during the last thirty years, and which
have been as follows ■:
Vear. Vessels. Tonnage.
1812 4,599 446,788
1815 6,440 709,949
1820 7,276 805.033
1825 10,837 1,223,820
1830 11,214 1,411,964
1835 13,941 1,768,426
1840 15,998 2,445,708
1845 20,521 3,016,531
Four-filths of tiie trade between the United
Kingdom and the United States now centres
in Liverpool; and she also has a large share
of the trade with South America and the
West Indies. She also carries on a conside
rable trade with the East Ind es and China,
though in ibis department she is far surpass
ed by London. Indeed, the ships and pro
ducts of Liverpool are to be found in every
port in the world accessable to mercliantme n.
The gross customs’ revenue of Liverpool,
in 1844, amounted to .£4,487,664; while that
of London, in the same year, amounted to
£11,778,516. But we must not suppose that
the trade of the metropolis exceeds that of
Liverpool in this proportion; as raw materials
for manufactures, on which low duties are
paid, form the principal part of the foreign
imports at Liverpool, whilst London imports
comparatively few of these articles, her trade
being principally in articles of direct con
sumption, on which high duties are paid.—
This circumstance accounts for the compa
ratively large amount of the customs’ revenue |
received in the latter; and, allowing lor it,
we doubt whether the foreign trade of Lon
don very materially exceeds that of Liver
pool. It is quite impossible to form any cor
rect estimate of the total amount of the trade
of Liverpool. Certainly the total annual
value of the imports and exports does not
fall much short of the amazing sum of £45,-
600,000, if it do not exceed that amount.
Manufactures. —When we consider the
vast magnitude of the foreign commerce of
Liverpool, we cannot for a moment wonder
that its inhabitants have had little time to
give their attention to the manufacturing of
various articles of import-, and that they have
left it to more inland towns to turn the raw
material into the manufactured article, in
which state it again passes info the hands of
tiie Liverpool merchant, for the purpose of
being supplied to the various markets of the
world. In fact, in a place where the labor
ing classes meet with ready and sufficient
employment of a more congenial kind, it
would be a difficult matter to obtain a supply
of hands willing to submit to the stringent
O O
regulations of a factory. But the extensive
commerce of the port necessarily demands
the practice of a great number of domestic
trades, subsidiary to the demands of tiie mer
chant for his shipping.
Ship-building is here carried on to a great
extent; and not only have capital merchant
ships and steamers been launched from the
slips in various parts of the town, but many
large ships of war have been built for the Go
vernment. Steam engines of the best and
most powerful kind are made in several es
tablishments, from which have proceeded
many of the engines employed on hoard the
largest steam-ships.
There are several large sugar refiners,
iron and brass foundries, public breweries,
roperies, glass staining works and alkali
works. The manufacture of soap is more
extensively carried on here than in any other
town of the kingdom. A large cotton manu
factory is situate on the banks of the canal, a
short distance north of the town. There are
also several windmills and steam engines for
grinding corn, colors, dye woods, &c., and
numerous large manufactories of chain ca
bles, anchors, and similar articles naturally
in demand in a large sea-port. The manu
facture of chronometers, watches and watch
movements is carried on to a greater extent
in Liverpool than in any part of the kingdom;
and large quantities of these articles are an
nually exported.

THE ST .TE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION, AND
THE PLANTER’S CLUB OF HANCOCK.
We hope that it will not be forgotten that
these two bodies will have their annu
al meetings on the 25th and 26th hist, re
spectively at Sparta.
On the occasion of the annual convocation
of the State Agricultural Association, his Ex
cellency the Governor, wiio is ex-officio its
President, will deliver an address. From
the distinguished abilities of his Excellency,
and his well known taste for Agricultural
pursuits, we are authorized to expect a su
perior production—one well worthy of the
author and ot the occasion. The announce
ment of such a treat being in store, must give
additional eclat to this interesting assemblage
ot our tellow citizens, and will unquestionably
add to the numbers that are expected to at
tend.
Besides this addess, there will be much
else to make the occasion one of peculiar
interest. There will he an extensive exhibi
tion of implements of agriculture, fabrics, and
articles of manufacture of various kinds at
testing the ingenuity and skill of our people,
various superior and rare productions of our
soil, specimens of stock of the most approved
qualifies and breeding, and other attractions
for the eye of the practical agriculturalist.
Much good has already been accomplish
ed by the Hancock Club, and their enlight
ened and patriotic efforts have inspired a kin
dred emulation in other counties.
We augur for the State Association, which
is of recent formation, a career of wide
spread and distinguished usefulness in the
noble cause of Agriculture.
“The first requisite of a trite Whig is a con
tempt for the sovereignty of the people.”—Consti
tutionalist.
The editor of the Chronicle & Sentinel in
his usual style of argument, in which he in
variably substitutes one thing for another,
answers this proposition as if it were, that
tiie requisite of a true Whig, was contempt
for the people. The word sovereignty, like
the amen of Macbeth, “sticks in his throat.”
I he sovereignty with us is the paramount
authority and power in a State; which with
us is expressed, by the ascertained will of
the majority of the masses. It is this will,
thus expressed, that Whigs or Federalists
hate, contemn and despise. It was this con
tempt, which was felt by Hamilton, the
author and finisher of Whiggery and Fede
ralism, —that was the source of his distrust of
the stability of our Republican institutions.
Hamilton was an honest man, and disdained
to skulk from the logical premises of the doc
trines, which he recommended to the prac
tice of our government. He believed, that
the masses W’ere only to be governed by
force or corruption. And he declared, in the
presence of Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Adams
(the elder,) —“Purge that government (the
English) of its corruption and it would be
come an impracticable government. As it
stands at present, with ail its supposed de
lects, it is the most perfect government that
ever existed. ” The elder Adams agreed
with him in all except the necessity of corrup
tion, as a part of the machinery. Mr.
Adams proved “his faith by his works” and
passed the alien and sedition laws, to re
strain the mob. His contempt for the saga
city and honesty, of the expressed will of the
people, was the heritage of his son, and led
him to declare, at a later period, when fede
ralism again began to be fashionable, that
“the representative should not he palsied by
the will of his constituents.” It is the same
distrust and contempt, for this will of the
people, that lead the Whigs of this day, who
are the sickly and dwarfed descendants of
the old Federalists, to desire to concentrate
power in Congress, by granting under latitu
dinous construction of the constitution, the
right to substitute their will for the consti
tution itself. That leads them to support
laws establishing class interests, and to pass
laws to accumulate wealth in the hands of a
favored few, who may withstand and control
the will of the many. These—these, are the
evidences of the contempt, which have at all
periods of our government been exhibited by
tiie Federal Whig party. And we never, so
far as we recollect, ever met an honest
Whig who scorned to flinch from the analyti
cal results of his doctrines, that did not ac
knowledge that the foundation of his theory
was that the masses ought to be restrained by
the terror of law—because they had always
proved themselves incapable of seif govern
ment when they held undisputed sway.
The theory of the Republican party is to
restrain not the masses—but their represen
tatives—so hold them to the literal terms of
the constitution, as a restraint upon the law
making power itself. Not to coerce the
stockholders hut to control the directors. The
federalists on the contrary —are for enlarg
ing the powers of the directors (the law ma
kers) and restraining the will of the stock
holders—(the people).
The Ramage Press. —A volunteer in the
army of the west, writing from Santa Fe,
says Gen. Kearney’s proclamation was print
ed there on a Ramage press, of royal size,
with iron hud and iron platen.
Here is a glorious incident in the history
of this war for Adam Ramage. He doubtless
never dreamed that a press of his patent
would work off a Yankee proclamation in
the governmental palace of an American foe!
[From theN. O. Picayune, November 5.]
LATER FROM MEXICO.
We learn from conversation with the
editors of the Commercial Times that they
are in the possession of a letter from Vera
Quiz, dated the 7th of October. This i-s a
week later than any former letters or
papers which have been received here
from that city to our knowledge. The
letter came byway of Pensacola and was
probably brought by the Relief, which
arrived at Pensacola on the 30ih nit., in
nineteen days passage. The purport of
the letter was kindly communicated tons
by the editors of tiie Times, and we deem
it important.
The news of the capitulation of Mon
terey hkd been received by the Govern
ment of Mexico, and was known to the
people of the city. It does not appear to
have shocked the public mind to the ex
tent one might have anticipated. On the
contrary-, its effect was rather to aggra
vate the hud passions already aroused
against the United Slates.
CT
Santa Anna had just arrived at San
Luis Potosi when the courier from Mon
terey passed through that city on the w ay
to Mexico. We have already mentioned
that he loft Mexico on the 28th of Sep
tember with only 827,000, instead of the
two millions which he endeavored to raise
upon the security of the church. Not
withstanding this, it will surprise the
reader to learn that the people of Mexico
have such faith in themselves and their
chief, that they are entirely confident of
his ability to rally round him and equip
an army which will inevitably defeat any
force w’e can send against them. Nothing
can display in a more glaring light the
national weakness—an overweening vani
ty and self-esteem which no reverses can
overcome. The letter received by the
Times expresses this confidence of suc
cess in the most unreserved and natural
manner possible. We hardly need add
that it is from a Mexican source, and we
presume it may be considered a lair in
dication of the national spirit.
“Forewarned is to be forearmed.” It
is a great point in our struggle with Mexi
co to know the extent of the malice and
bitterness of feeling entertained towards
us by our foe. Dreading our power of
retaliation, her military leaders have kept
in paitial subjection the cruel instincts of
the race. Let success once crown their
efforts, and we may look for a renewal
of the massacres which marked every
Mexican victory in the struggle with
Texas. Fervently do we trust that no
pat lial advantages may ever put it in the
power of the Mexicans to obtain the re
venge they seek. There is already
enough of exasperation.
It is not to he denied that the uncon
querable self-esteem of the Mexicans is
an element of national character which
gives prowess to her soldiers. Every step
in the progress of the war increases the
respect which we should feel for their
military qualities. We sincerely hope
that we have now been taught to avoid
C
the fatal error of despising our foe. With
no diminution of confidence in our ability
to heat them whenever and wherever we
may meet them in a fair field, no matter
what the odds against us may be, in mere
numbers, we would have the Government
put forth its might with such prudence
and deliberation and energy, that the next
blow which fails upon our enemy may
be an overwhelming and crushing one,
O O '
from which recovery may seem hopeless
even to a Mexican.
“ Morals of [faston.” —At a recent trial in
Boston in which the jury were unable to
agree, J edge Ward said that as many as three
witnesses on one side or the other must
have committed perjury on the trial. In re
marking upon the contradictions in the evi
dence, in his charge on Wednesday, lie said
that such an exhibition of false swearing
was calculated to create a well grounded ap
prehension that there is no safety for proper
ty, or life, or liberty in Boston.

O 3 While Lite remains we have
still Hope.—Dr. Wistar’a Balsam of Wild Cherry
—No Quackery—No Deception. In setting forth
the virtues of this truly great medicine, we have
no desire to deceive those who are laboring under
affliction, nor do we wish to eulogize it more than
it justly deserves.—Vet w hen we look around and
see the vast amount of suffering and distress oc
casioned by many of the diseases in which this
medicine has proved so highly successful, we feel
that we cannot urge its claim- 100 strongly, or say
too much in its favor.
Various remedies, it is true, have been offered
and puffed into notice for the cure of dieases of the
lungs, and some have been found no doubt very
useful, but of all that have yet been discovered,
it is admitted by physicians, and all who have
witnessed its effects, that none has proved as suc
cessful us this. For Asthma, Shortness of Breath
and similar affections, it may be pronounced a
positive cure. It has cured Asthma in many cases
often ami twenty years standing, after physicians
had declared the case beyond the reach of medi
cine.
