THE JOURNAL.

NAtCmsar' weal, but that of Rome. THURSDAY AUGUST 29, 1845. C-Tha Louisville Journal contains long account, too long for insertion in our paper, of a threatened mob-action in Lexing ton, Ky. .The object was the suppression of The True American,' a paper printea by Cassius M. Clay, favoring the gradual emanrlmiinn nf ihfl nptrroes. Meetings were held, and some pretty severe langunge passed between a committee of the citizens and the ypr hv Mi. Clav consenting to box up his - - - J - J a office and send it o Sicca the above paragraph was in type we have received, through the politeness of Mb' MnNiLL. the Louisville Journal of Monday, which contains an account of another display of . mob law in Lexington, of a most brutal character. The Jou rnal copies from the LexiBglon Euquirer as follows: Bkcta.l Outrages. After the peaceable and orderly termination, on Monday last, of the excitement and difhculties growing out ef the removal of the press and types used in the printing of an abolition paper in this city he citizens began to congratulate themselves itnnn ih restoration ol neace and nniet in thfi city, aad the prospect of its continuing so. But they were doomed to disappointment, for on Tuesday night our streets were the scenes of several most brutal and disgraceful outrages. A few of the choice spirits of the city, occupying a position in society not the nost enviable, and not being satisfied with the peaceable termination of Monday's work, made an attack, during the night, upon sev--eral free nesroes, and beat them in a most cruel and inhuman manner, tarring and feath ering of them on the public square; The Louisville Journal in . addition, says: We learn that the mob, on Tuesdey night, -at Lexington, carried their brutality farther han the Lexington Inquirer has stated. We understand that the "choice spirits" consist ed of about one hundred and fifty men wearing black masks to conceal their fea tures, (this was modest at all events,) and calling themselves "the black Indians" that they made loud noise through the streets of Lexington, maltreated many negroes, and, besides tarring and feathering several in the public square, broke the libs of one man, the hands of another, and so injured the eye of a third that the poor fellow will lose . it. What will the people at large think of these proceedings? The Canal fioin Cincinnati to Lake Erie seems to be doing a fine business if we may "" tl ffittrnyjngfl'1'"1" Emilia Cincinnati Gazette. That paper says it is worth one's while to walk up to the Canal, and notice the extraordinary increase of business since it has been opened to Lake Erie. For a long space, the boats lay two deep yesterday, loading and discharging. Though this is usually a dull period for draymen, they are now busy as nailors, in hauling merchandize from the Canal. The Collector informs us that 200 tons of Dry Goods have been received this week, at prices ranging from $1,20 to 1,25 per 100 lbs. from New York. , The downward boats ballast with shingles, &c, from Toledo. The upward boats are welt filled with Cincinnati manufac tures for various places above, as well as Lard and other Produce for the eastern Mar kets.

THE BEGINNING OF THE RESULT. The Baltimore American, referring to the

trade of the West and the cities of the East, says: The Western Railroad, connecting Boston with the New York improvements, and thereby with the great West, was opened in 1841. Tlie increase of that city since, in wealth and population, exhibits some astonishing results. In 1841 the valuation ot propem in cosion real and personal, was in the aggregate $98,10G,60G. The year lollowing it amouniea to 100,733,300; and in 18 t&e cross valuation reached the aggregate of 118,450,300, Here in a period of three years an increase is shown of more than twenty millions otctol lars; and what makes it the more remarkable is an advance of twenty per cent., or one fifth on the original valuation. " Within three years after the opeeing of the Erie Canal the city of Newlork increased about thirteen millions of ofdollars, which was an advance of twelve-4andahalf per cent on the valuation ot the real and persona property ot the city. Population tells the same story. The cit ies of the East are filling up "fast." Eighty eight years ago Boston had near 20,000; new it has quadruple that number. Eighty eight years ago and New York had less than twenty thousands souls now it claims three hundred and sixty-five thousands souls! And Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans,- all show the same wonderful increase. Whence this mighty spread of human power? The Albany Argus answers this question in two words Western 'rude. This is the source ot wealth to metcast: the source whence springs its increase of population and power, which has made all its cities tower into mighty places, and which, too, has buil up New Orleans, amid disease and a bad cli mate, as their great Southern commercial ri val. And it is even so. The once wild North-west is the great feeder of the East anu its settlement nas maae, in the main that section of our country what it is Below we publish the article from the Ar gus. From the Albany (N. Y.) Argus, THE GROWTH OF AMERICAN CIT IES THE COMMERCIAL INFLU ENCEOF THE WEST, We have been both instructed and amused in reading recently Burke's European Set tJements in America," written in 17o7 eighty-eight years ago, The relative wealth and population of American cities have changed wonderfully since then, while the! progress seems almost miraculous. Nothing in the annals of the world will compare with their advance in population. iiurke says I here are iq all the provin ces of New-England, large towns which drive a considerable trade, Boston, the cap ital of Massachusetts Bay, is the first city of New-England and of all North America; it This old reminiscence naturally invites re flection. Boston is no longer the first city America. New-York has become the Commercial Emporium of America. Boston lias prospered and more than quintupled us population. Yet the commanding situation of New-York, backed by the enormous trade of the West, has built up a city of 375,090 nhabitants, (not to include rapidly growinj; Brooklyn, with its 40,000, where in 1757 there were not 20,000. Philadelphia likewise has run ahead of Boston, while NewOrleans, in forty-five years, under the swell ing tide of tne Valley of the Mississippi, has already grown into a mightier city than Boston. To what may this change be attributed? s it not clearly to the influence of the wes tern trade, which seems to be a mine of wealth and power and population almost be yond human calculation. In the days of Edmund Burke, the West was but little known. t was referred to only as a vast wilderness. America was then bounded by the Alleghanies. .Lven in such speculative minds as Burke's, the settlement and future glory of the Valley ot the Mississippi were scarcely alluded to. To their minds, there . seemed and enough on this side of the Alleghanies for a hundred years to come. No monarchist could fully appreciate the progressive power and enterprizeol the Anglo-Saxon race, per haps we may rather say, ot Anglo-Saxon freemen. A hundred years have not elapsed. and our people have already crossed the Al leghanies, and advanced their settlements a thousand miles beyond that mountain barrier No lancy was so wild as to imagiue such a progress in 17o7, but that very expansion has built up the great cities ot America. The settlement of Western New-York and Ohio forced the construction of the Erie canal, which literally united the waters of the wes tern seas with the Atlantic ocean. ' For only twenty years, the wealth of the teeming west has poured down that avenue, and already ii has placed New-York on an eminence as the Commercial Emporium of America. Philadelphia and Baltimore have advance under the same impetus, while New-Orleans has marched with a railway rapidity to commer cial greatness. Cincinnati in that once wil demess valley, after the lapse of forty-five years, contains a thriving population of 75,000 inhabitants. Even St. Louis, a thousand miles west ot the Alleghanies, is already ri valling Cincinnati. Aud Pittsburgh, the iron city of the west is becoming a second Bir mingham. In our vicinity, Albiny, Troy Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, look to the West as the great fulcrum of their futurc advance in prosperity and population. Such is the remarkable and overshadowing in fluence of the West upon the cities of Amer ica, in only fifty years after the first breaking up of its sou. Who can estimate its influence a hundred years hence? It will be remarked as among the exlraor dinary influences of western emigration, that there is not a city on the seaboard but what looks to the West as the only resource of its future growth. To secure the western trade is regarded of far more importance than the mines of Mexico and Brazil . Moved by this unerring conviction, we see Portland, in

Maine, by means of the St. Lawrence and f

Atlantic railway, rortsmouth in JNew-liamp-shire, by a railway connecting witfi the Con cord and liurlington railroad, and .Boston, with its iron arms, stretching to Lake Erie and Lake Champlain, striving in an honora ble rivalry, to divert a portion of the Wes tern trade from New-York. Farther South, we perceive Baltimore struggling for the Western trade with Philadelphia, by means of railways and canals-and bavannah with Charleston. In Virginia, Richmond is mak ing a eiant struggle to pierce the Blue-Ridge with a canal or railway, in order to reach the rills of that western current, which moves on like the waters of the Nile, enriching the soil upon which it overflows. Boston is al ready reaping the advantage of its Herculean labors, to reach the heart ot the west, jt is but three years since the opening ot the Western railway to Albany, and yet its mnuence upon that city has been not less remarkable than the opening of the Erie Canal was on New-York. The following tables of facts will confirm this position. In December, 1841, the West ern railway was opened for travel. Since that epoch, a little more than three years have elapsed, and look at the change In Boston valuation: - 1841. Real estate Personal 1842. Real ' Personal 1844. Real Personal Boston, 62,003,000 30,043,006 98,106,608 65,509,500 41,233,800 106,733,300 72,048,000 46,402,300 118,450,300 An increase of $20,250,000 in only three years, which is the more enormous, as it is an advance of one-fifth (20 per cent) on the whole valuation. Now let us turn to NewYork, after the opening of the Erie canal. That great work was opened in 1825, and let us compare the valuation ol that year with the third year thereafter; 1825, valuation, real and personal, $101,160,016 1826, 107,447,781 1827, 112,211,926 1828, 114,019,533 An increase of near $13,000,000, or 12i per cent, in the same time as Boston increased its valuation $20,000,000. These figures are an irresistable illustration of the influence of the Western trade, whether obtained by canals or railways, in adding to the wealth of the Atlantic cities. New York, if she wills, can still hold her present command over the Western trade. But this will require immediate efforts, such as will test the energies of her merchants. He is blind who does not see taat at the present time she is menaced by a spirit of com petition on the part of wealthy, enterprising and powerful cities, such as never before oc curred in her past history. But with an ef fort she holds the game in her own hands. The Western trade is a prize worthy of those who would struggle for the colossal commer cial power of America. A city sustained by that trade, can never languish, for the increase of production of the Western states is almost boundless. Its city must be lar greater than even Alexandria or J hebes. bo long as TYew-TorfcTematns at the head ot the western trade, where our state pride and her own commanding position justly place her, it must irresistibly advance in wealth, influence and population, until she will be known not only as the great city of America, hut as the great city of the world. AMUSEMENT. Iu another column the public will find the advertisement of Messrs Howes &, Mabie, announcing the perfor mance of their unriralled Circus Company at this place on Monday and Tuesday next. The good word spokenof the proprietors and me mbers of the company by the press through out the country, their gentlemanly and correct deportment, their display of skill and science in riding and vaulting, and classic selection of entertainments, cannot fail to ensure them an abundant harvest. We are pleased to learn that no improper person is ever admitted, or any expression or action, during the exhibition, is given that can offend the most fastid ious. It is by this judicious course that Messrs. Howes &. Mabie have secured for themselves and company a reputation and standing far above their cotemporaries, and attracted to their Arena wherever they have performed, audiences of the highest respectability and intelligence. The Arena is spread in front of the Exchange Hotel. SHOOTING AT WASHINGTON. We copy the following from the National Intelli gencer of the 19th instant: A most tragical occurrence took place last evening, about 6 o'clock, on Pennsylvania avenue, near Fuller's hotel ; when, on account of some misunderstanding between Rufus Elliott,(brother-in-law of Mr. John C. Ri ves,) William Z. Kendall, (a son of Amos Kendall,) and JosiahR. Bailey, the party first named shot Mr. Kendall dead on the spot, and severely shattered the arm of Mr. Bailey, by two discharges from one of Colt's revolving pistols. Mr. Elliott then made his escape. ' Since the above was in type we learn that Mr. Elliott has given himself up and his examination before the city court commenced on Tuesday of last week, and was to be continued the next day. It appears, that, on the day of the homecide, Elliott was struck by Bailey, that thereupon he went and armed himself with a revolving pistol and took his stand in the street; that Kendall and his friend Bailey saw Elliott in the street and interchanged harsh words with him; that Kandall advanced upon Elliott and wrenched an iron cane from him, upon which Elliott stepped back, drew a pistol and shot him dead; that Bailey than advauceJ to sustain Kendall and had his arm shattered by a pistol shot, and that Elliott then retreated Irorn the ground in a hack.

MEXICO TEXAS WAR, Sec. c.

(T The war fever is getting op all over the country. We learn that a company is form ing in this place and the list already numbers twenty names or more with a view to proceed to Texas or Mexico at the bidding of the Government. We noticed a day or two ago several of the company busy hunting up muskets and other articles of warfare, and the probability is another week will see the tall plume and the drum and fife parading our streets. Well, go it boys go it while you're young it is first -rate fun, sogering We've tried it and know all about it. We ate bull-beef for weeks at a stretch, without salt and without bread, and drank water from pools that a prairie wolf woiild'nt have lapped through a campaign in Texas in company with a3 devil-me-care set of chap3 a3 ever shouldered a" gun, and we pronunce it fun first rate fun -hut it is that kind of fun One doeS'nt care to enjoy more than once in life time, Iloweve7, we suppose every soger will will "see for himself;" we wC'J! merely suggest to our friends not to eniisl for more than seven years at the start,wc think at the end of that time they will have a sur feit of it the fun will be over-" We understand, also, that arrangements have been made to organize a volunteer regiment at St. Lonis, to consist of . from five hundred to nine hundred men, and to be raised with a view to march off in very short time, and engage in an active campaign, to submit to strict military discipline, and to en ter on the service, so as to leave the fro ntier in October; and strike a blow at Santa Fe early in December, It is supposed that a regiment of such men starting from that place, with such additioal forces as may be obtaiued about Bent's fort, and the other mountain establishment, could take Santa Fe. MEXICO INVASION BY THEU. S TROOPS. We learn from the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, that Lieut. Ringgold left Washington City on the 9tb inst., with important despatches for our army in Tex as. It is stated that, such was the emergency of the case, the Bank of the Metropolis was opened at 10 o'clock, P. M for Government funds, to enable the despatch bearer to proceed forthwith. it 13 surmisea mat our uovernment has been too fast in ordering its troops into that region of Texas which lies between the rivers Nueces and Rio del Norte, and which has never yet been, and never could be, taken possession of by the Government and troops of Texas, and that these despatches are now posted off to the scene of attraction to restrain Gen, Taylor, and Col. Twiggs from participitating the forces under their command into thai country, inhabited by 45,000 Mexicans who have never yet surrendered to, or been conquered by, theTexians. Lieut. Ringgold is too late, however; our troops are already beyond the Nueces, and it will be on the line of that river, if at all, that a collision must take place. According to the . Mexican geography it seems that the Nuece3 is the Eastern boundry of the Department of Tamaulipas, and seperates it from the Slate of Texas. This geographical arrangement, of course, throws all the country between the Nuces and the Rio Grande in the State of Tamaulipas, and constitutes it an integral portion of Mexico. The Texians on the contrary contend that the Rio Grande is the Western boundary of their State, and have always claimed the whole territory to that limit. Here, then, is another difficulty which will tender greatly to complicate our relations with Mexico. She will be disposed to regard the march of the U.S. troops across the Nueces as an invasion of Tamaulipas, a State distant from Texas, ac cording to the Mexican division. This will be a new cause for war, over and above the provocation already given by taking possession of Texas. Mr. Polk and his cabinet are very likely to botch the job after all, and draw down upon the country all the evils of a war, which might have been avoided. 05" From the Union of the 14th we learn that a private letter was received in Washing ton, by the last southern mail from Texas, west of the Nuces, dated July 26th, aud sta ting that the Mexicans really were concentrat'ng provisions and munitions of war at Matamoras as fast as possible, and also troops at Monterey. The writers of this letter are engaged in the Mexican trade, and communicate at least weekly with Matamoras. They are not likely to be deceived in this matter, for the facilities for obtaining correct infor mation are known to be equally as good, if not better, than those of any other persons in Texas; and their experience with the frontier Mexicans is such, that they can hardly be deceived." MURDER CASES AT INDIANAPOLIS. The trials of Nicholas Wood and Edward Davis for the murder of John Tucker, have just been concluded at Indianapolis. Wood found guilty and sentenced to three years in the Penitentiary. Davis acquitted.

Usited States and Mexico. The ship

Kalemazoo sailed from New York for Texas, on Friday week, with United States troops on board. It is said that a number of the officers of the brigade commanded by Uen. A. JM Roumfprf, of Philadelphia, have volunteered their services, and that Gen. R. has tendered hia own and their services to the ueneral Government, in case of war with Mexico. The Philadelphia Ledger has the follow ing: . - , - We heard it stated, on Saturday last, by an intelligent officer of the United biates Oov ernment, that Mr. Polk was determined, in case of a war with Mexico, to make a terrible example of any foreigner or foreigners, not belonging to Mexico, or parties to the' war, who may attempt aggressions upon Ameri can commerce under color of'letters of mar que from the MexicanXJovernment. He wil give orders to the naval commanders to treat all such adventurers as pirates, as in reality they will be. The Second Dbagoons. TheVanBuren (Ark.) Ii.telligencer,of the 2d insf., mentions the receipt of intelligence that the dragoons, whiGu W ordered into Texas, rendezvous ed near Nacogdoches, waiting for wagons and ! supplies, and that while there, they were ordered to proceed immediately to Austin by forced marches. Much excitement, says the Intelligencer,' was caused in Harrison county by the movement, as the orders were not accompanied with any assigned cause, and many feared that the Camanches might have threatened a descent upon that city while the convention was in session, to capture the members. - The orders for the engagement of wagons, etc., were countermanded and the troops at Once put in motion for Austin. Troops for Texas. General Worth the commanding officer at St. Augustine, has received orders to send three companies of United States troops from that post to New Orleans, We learn by a postscript just received, that Mexico has declared war against the United States', Don Quixote against the Windmills! Ho J for the CaliforniasJ State Sentinel of the 21st. Why not Include Tamaulipas and all the other Mexican Stales? It is nonsense to taie two bites at a cherry. 03" A loeofpeo paper published somewhere in Pennsylvania has the' following motto at the head of its columns: "Oregon and Texas Q-Down with EnglandQ No compromise but at the cannon's mouth ! Axdeew Jackson." We'll bet a coon skin . that chap would make tracks at the sight of a Mexican. A SECOND EDITION OF THE FLORIDA WAR. If we gain nothing else by annexation, the country will at least enjoy the opportuni ty of getting up a second edition of the Flo rida war. The Texas papers already com plain that there are loo many Indians about, and insist that the first business of the United Slates troops shall be to remove these trou blesome neighbors, lne chances are, as Texas is so fine a country, that the Indians wont be willing to go. This, of course, will impose upon humane and good-natured Un cle Sam the necessity of driving them off. That the speculators at New Orleans already snuff another Florida war in the breese is very evident from the prices they begin to charge. It was staled in the New Orleans Picayune of July 22d that the steamboat Undine "had been chartered as a lighter for the troops to Texas at three hundred and fifty dollars a day, for thirty dayscarii." How many more days she will be employed by Government upon the same moderate terms we do not pretend to know, but probably, as in the case of the first Florida war, she will be kept in service long enough to pay for herself three times over.-Albany Journal THE BEAUTIES OF LOCOFOCO POLICY. Texas is already considered a part of the Union ; so completely so that troops have beeu ordered into the territory to guard against Mexican invasion, and yet she is considered a foreign country in reference to the collection of revenue upon commodities brought from thence into the ports of the United States! The "Democracy" is certainly not only "progressive," but constructive; it can suit itself to any sort of emergency; and can hot only work without a Constitution, but twist an existing one into all shapes and fotms to suit its purposes. Texas is realizing the truth of the South Carolina construction, of being in the Union and out of it at the same moment; and yet we do not see the "strict constructionists" the '93 men make a single ry face at these extraordinary twists of the Constitution, or total disregard ot all its provisions. Virginia Free Press. JESUITS IN FRANCE. . The General of the Society of Jesuits has ordered that the Jesuils be dispersed, their houses shut up, and their establishments dis solved. This peaceable measure of dispersion has been brought about by the Ministry of France, who negociated with ' the Holy See of Rome, on this important questiou, and who gave in its adhesion to the measure. -France possessed the power of breaking up the society forcibly, but by this peaceful proceeding has obviated all the natural disturbance that might have occurred, had she resorted to force.

By a provision in the Constitution of Mississippi the introduction of Slaves into that State is prohibited after the present year. This prohibition extends not only to the in traduction of slaves as merchandise, but settiers within the State cannot import them for their own use. The New Orleans Bul letin says: .v . : - . : "The proposed change in the Constitution is opposed with much force of reasoning ou various grounds. It is argued that the removal of the existing restrictions will open Mississippi to the importation of the black population of Kentucky a State , on the eve of passing emancipatory laws whose citizens, in anticipation of manumission, will remove their slaves elsewhere, in order to realize their value.
