"Not Caesar's weal, but that of Rome." THURSDAY, AUGUST 27," 1846. GO? The News we publish to day .from Mexico, Texas, the Santa Fe expedition, is highly important and will be read with interest.- We may now continue to look for highly interesting intelligence from all that quarter. Gen Taylor is moving onward, slowly, but surejy, towards Monterey; and, if the news from Mexico be correct, will there meet Paredes in considerable force; and another fight will settle the mat ter. In the ne$t battle many of Uie Volun teers, will participate, and we hope those from Indiana may be of the number. We know them to be as brave as any troops now there, and as anxious for an opportunity of displaying their gallantly; but if the intellirencc which we learn has boenreceived imm . - - - - . Gen. Lane by his friends at home be correct, thai the Indiana troops have been ordered to ca,ip al Camp Belknap, near Berita, and drill for" four weeks previous to joining the .Army at Monteiey, we much fear they will never see the Mexican army'tn battle array They trny arrive in time to see a batte fiejd that has been woo by their more fortunate comrades, but too late to have, any Jiand in the winning. LATE SEWS FROM TEXAS. 03" The following is an extract of a letter received by a gentlen;n of this place, from an officer of the 2ud Regiment ol the Indiana volunteers: , t 4 , 'BRAZOS, SANTIAGO, July 25, '43:. j It ra iy Dpt be uninteresting to ' you, to Iwoax from the Indiana volunteers, alter their safe arrival in the country of the enemy. .'-2nd Regiment all arrived here yesterday, and most of them have" disembarked .- They are all in as good health as could be expected. We be shall here only three or four days before the line pf marchwill be taken up for Gen. Taylors carnp,which is about 30 mites distant from tin's place, and then, il is expected, that we will advance into the country, as soon . as the troops have - been collected together, which will be in a very short time. There are four regiments of Lou isiana Volunteers here, who are disbanded, and about to return home on account of their having volunteed for six mouths only. Gen. Taylor wants none who are engaged fpr a shorter term than ot)6 year; A soldier was tried by court martial, and shot here a few days ago,(before we arrived,) for striking a commissioned officer, (a lieutenant I think,) he was a volunteer from Louisiana. This will be an example to the rest of the unruly troons. that mav be of treat service, in senn et the army. ITiere are"TnTmense--noTnDerr of mules here attached to the wagons taken from the Mexicans in the great battle. They are highly useful in conveying the baggage fiom one point to anqther. Every rooming about one hundred and fifty wagons, with five mules to each, start from this place to the Itio urande, which is about nine miles off. There are about eight thousands troops here, and one or two regiments leave daily for Gen. Taylor's camp. In three or four days, we will be on our journey to the famous Rio Grande. You would be astonished to see the people we have to contend against. They seem to be not more than half civilized, and go almost naked. They appear well adopted to labor, and work with the same servility, as the black slaves of Kentucky. I suppose these are not a fair sample of the more respectable citizens of the Mexican Govern ment, it they are the conquest of the country would be an easy matter. rLieut. Peck has been very unwell ever s'nee we left New Albany, on account ofan attack of the measles, but is now fast recovering- . ' Rumor says that the Mexicans are about eight thousand strong at Monterey, and well fortified." It is believed that they wilt concentrate to about sixteen thousand at that point, and rrako a stand; and there is now the greatest expectation of having a battle, before a great while, or in the course of the next month. . fr Wellington B. Pearce, of Spencer county, was arrested jast week on a charge of selling the Branch of the Slate Bank at this" place a forged draft oir New Orleans for $300. He was brought here and examined before Esquire Woolsey on yesterday, and failing togive bail in the sura required,.1! 1000, was committed. f The Ohio river is again rising, and there is sufficient water, we believe, for mid die class boats.

. We are indebted to a friend for a copy of

theN. O. Picayune of the 18th iust., con taining the following intelligence from Mexico: . : . " IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. The brig P. Soule, Capt. Delvaille," arrived yesterday morning from Havana, whence she sailed on the 8th inst. Her advices are important,! ' The royal mail steamer Dee, Capt. Boxer, arrived at Havana on the Cth inst. from Vera Cruz, with'dates to the 1st inst. She brought - out twenty-seven passengers and $ 16,000 in specie. The Dee brought the long-expected news of a pronunciamento by Vera Cruz in behalf of Santa Anna. The city and garrison of the castle have both declared for the exFresident. Immediately upon tho recep tion of the. news at Havana, Santa Anna made bis preparations for departure, and was to'sail the evenins of the 8tb inst. for Vera Cfiiz in the steamer Montezuma, un der English colors. So says Capt. Delvaille the papers of Havana not having a word on, the subject r We annex the declaration of the troops at Vera Cruz; Act of the Garrison of. Vera " Cru In the heroic city of Vera Cruz, the officers of the earrison whose names are here unto subscribed, bcinu assembled at the headquarters of the 8t.fi Yegiment, ft the purpose of taking into consideration the calamitous state at which the country has ar rived, and to seek the remedy most fit to withdraw.it from such a state and restore it to life and prosperity : Considering that the principal cause ot trie, existing perni cious discord is the want of a fundamental system of laws, to be dictated freely by the nation which has manifested its detestation of the monarchical system; and tiie want of a Government which may be the ollspring of public opinion instead of the contests ol tactions: Considering, turther, that the ex isiing Government is illegal, and has dis charged its functions in an oppressive man ner, and issued an anti-popular - call tor a Congress wijh a yiew tothe establishment of a monarchy, and that while occupied iu a plot so detestable it has neglected the de fence of the national territory, and abandoned upon the frontier that portion of the ar my charged "with its defence; and consider ins. tnoteover.ihat the Republic is on the l7 ' road to ruin, and that Jt is necessary, now more than ever, to labor assiduously to unite and Strengthen the bonds of union dissolved by,, our misfortune's, abjuring all our private opinions; the officers aforesaid agree to second the plan proclaimed by the people and garrison of the city of Guadalajara on the 2th of .May last, as far as the 5ib article inclusive with the following additions: ' " ,...' -.--J ' . ' 1st. Afl persons imprisoned or banished for political offences from the year 1821. to the present time are at liberty to return to the republic, ancj are invited to co-operate in the defence ol the present plan. 2d. By this plan the circumstances of war jn which the country is placed with the ffieorfgrera-iRrscmul that question, and to Mexicans to' obey its resolutions, i 3d. All those who in this Department, or out of it, have taken up arms againt the existing order ot things are invited to second this plan, which has for its sole end the public well-being. The same invitation i3 ex tended to the political and military authorities of all the Departments. 4th. As his Excellency Gen.D. Antouio Lopez de Santa Anna had the glory of founding the Republic, and, whatever may have been his errors, was always the firmest supporter of (lie public liberties and the integrily of the national territory, the garrison pioclarms the said General as the chief of the great enterprise for which the plan is entered in'o. The plan of Guadalajara above referred to we published on the 21th of Juno. The five articles specifically adopted-were to the following ellect: 1st. A repudiation of the Congress summoned by Paredes; 2d. A de claration in favor of a new Congress, to be chosen according to the electoral laws of 1824-which Congress should be charged with the formation of a constitution, enit I.- .i eluding utterly the monarchical principle: 3d. Providian; that Congress should assem ble within four months after the liberating forces gain possession of the capital; 4th. Guaranting the existence of the army; and 5.h. Declaring traitors whoever should oppose the assembling of such Congress, attempt the liberty of its members or oppose thexonstitution it should establish. Tire Vera Cruz plan was signed the morning of the 31st of July. Among the signatures we note that of Gen. Landero, of the Artillery, and any number of colonels and other officers. The nam of Gen. Mozo, who commands i the cjty of Vera Cruz, and of Gen. Uodrignez de Cela, who commands the castle of San Juan de Ullua, are not attached tp the phtn. Wp have not yet seen any letters or papers from Vera Cruz commenting upon tne proceedings of the garrison, as. the "steamer sailed on the day following. " The steamboat Charleston, from the city of that natrie, arrived at Havana on the 4th inst., beaiing as passenger Senior D. Anto nio Haro y Tamariz, who was Secretary of the Treasury during the last Adminislration of Santa Anna. We have no account as to tho individuals who were to accompany Santa Anna. The Montezuma has been for som.e days preparing for sea, but as was alleged with the intention of proceeding to England. In this connection il may not be amiss to recall a statement published by us on the 31st ult., to the effect that the Montezuma as well as the Gqadaloupe belonged to Santa Anna, having been purchased by him through an English house. Such was the firm belief of our informant. The Congress of Mexico has passed a law authorizing the President to issue letters of marque against American commerce, such letters to be issued directly by the Government or by its agents in foreign countries. The President had published a decree in conformity to this law, wluch with instructions to cary rut the purposes of Congress was forwarded by the British steamer. Gen. Bravo, whom Congress had elected

Vice President of the Republic, sent to it,

on the 15th day of July, his resignation, in r. . f 1,1. which he pleaded the state oi nis iieiiu as the motive of tho act. Congress refused to accept his resignation, and on the JSth of July, as the Provisional President was about to depart for the Irontier, uen. uravo iook the oath or office and euterea upon me dis charge of its duties. ' : Early in July Senior Becerra, the Minis ter of justice, resigned his post, aud after Gen. Bravo was installed in power, tie other Ministers likewise resigned. Letters from the city of Mexico dated the 29th July give the following as the most probable composition of the new Ministry: D. Antonio Garay, Minister of Finance; D. Ignacid Mora Villamil, of War;' Dr. D. Luis Gordoa, or D. Luis "G. Cuevas, of Foreign Relations; and D. Fernando Ramirez, of Justice, &c. A letter of the 30ih July from the city of Mexico speaks of the new Ministry as being already formed, but without giving the names. It adds, moreover, that the new Ministers were without exception disposed to make peace with the United btates It is alleged to he the favorite policy ofj Gen. Bravo to centralize power as much as Dossible.and his views the Havana editors regard as in harmony with the present neces sities of the country. - There had been a pronunciamento in Jalapa as well as Guadalajara, and neither of them had been put down; but Uen. Bravo did not appear to be much concerned in re gard to either of them, liow the movement at Vera Cruz may effect him,,it is too soon to learn A decree of Paredes is published, dated July 10th, declaring the ports of Tuxpam, Goatzacoalcos, Soto la Manna and lecoluta upon the Gulf, Man?anillo upon the Facifjc, to be ports of entry" whilst the blockade of the ports oY Mexico shall be continued. Thev are open to toreign vessels as well as Mexicans from foreign potts, but only du ring the blockade. The purpose of the de cree is declared to be to protect the com tnerce of the country as much as possible from the injurious operations of the block ade. , The Secretary of War announced to Con gress, on the 23rd of July, that all the troops of the Chihuahua aud Ztcalecas has march ed tothe aid of Gen. Armijo, so that Gen Kearney may yet find an enemy to dispute the conouest of Santa Fe or New Mexi4 co. , ' ..... In a paper of the city of Mexico, of July 24lh, it is announced that the detachment o engineers, . -which will accompany the Pro vincial President, will march under the or derofCol.Cano, and Gen. D. Isidro Reyes of the Topographical Enginees as we should call them, would accompany mm. A late paper states that Paredes would not move to the North until the city of Guadalajara should be reduced to submission. Genera Arevulo who was sent against the insurgents of that city by Paredes, has been killed fight ins bravely iu the garden of the Convent ol Santa Maria, where he was surrouuded by the insurgents. tne uovernment tne control over the reven ues for the purposes of the war, and the other declaring the existence of the war and lhat Mexico will repel it were passed by Congress in nearly the same form in which they were" originally reported. Congress had passed another law to which great importance was attached, conferring upon Gen. Paredes the unlimited power to appoint officers and procure the necessary materials for the war, giving the preference to those of Mexico We have not seen the law Mts'elf, but have a second- baud notice of it which is not very definite. Paredes had determined to release from prison all those confined for political olfences. - The news received in the city of Mexico, from the frontier was such as to drive the Government almost to despair. On the 27 July a courier arrived, announcing the de parture of 8,000 American troops from Gamargo for Monterey. Gen. Armijo, about the same time, sent word that 6,000 Americans had come down upon New Mexico. And to crown the whole, despetch was received from the British Minister at Washington, which quenxhed.every hope ofreceivitig aid from England. Ou the lOtli, a circular was published by uen. Paredes. and sent to the Minister of Finance odering the small ports of Alvarado, Goatzacoalcas, Tuxpam, Soto la Marina and Tecoluta, on the Gulf coast, and Manzanillo on the Pacific, to be opened to foreign tnde during the time of the blockading of the principal ports. Spanish consuls had been appointed to some of them a few days after. The Minister of War and Marine had instructed the Commander-in-chief of the troops in the city of Mexico, to have several regiments, both of inlantry and cavalry, in readiness to march as soon as the President should order it. On the lGih, the fiist brigade, under the command of Gen. Garcia Conde, had left for Matamoras, or rather we presume.for Monterey. Gen, Canales was al a few leagues from Reinosa,! on the 14th, with 400 men, ou his way to that city. On the 22nd a detachment of 1200 tnen of all arms with 8 pieces of artillery, left the city of Mexico for the Northern frontier. The Diario Oficial of the 21 says, that' two detachments had left the day previous forSau L.u:s 1'otosi, anu mat tne President was to follow with otheis about the last of the month. More than $200,000 i.as been spent in the equiprarpnt- ot" these soldiers, every cent of Klncli had been paid oat m casftfiota the funds raised by the Government for the prosecution of the war. Gen Mejia, who had taken the command of the army which followed Arista to Linares had established his headqearlers at Monterey. Gen. Paredes was to direct his inarch thither for which purpose he was to leave the city ot Mexico on the 31st of July making a detour, however, to look after the city of Guadalajara. The last brigade composing the division to be under the President's command left tho capital, on the 28th of July. It was 2000 strong, and had several pieces of artillery. This brigade like those which left, the capital before it, was perfectly equip ped. Allthe?e troops, with two or three thosands expected from Guadalnjara, united j

to those under Mejia, it was thought would give Paredes a force at Monterey of from 12 to 15,000 men. :His long delay in the capital is attributed to his solicitude that his army should be equipped and provided in every particular. Iu the city of Mexico there were, at last accounts, but 1200 troops, and there was some intention of raising a volunteer force. Some troops from the Armv had arrived

Tampico to reinforce the garrison of that city. , ' . y ;, ," ; ' . ' We do not see or hear a word touching news trom the Pacific coast ot Mexico, it possible that the mails from thai part of the country were cut off by the insurrectionists n Jalisco and bonora;or, if information were received favorable to the American arms,the the Government may well have suppressed it. It is but a usual proceeding . - Gditorial correspondence f the Picayune. LATER FROM THE ARMY. Matamoras, August 4, 1846. Gen Taylor and the staff leave here to day for Camargo, and all the troops are to leave by about the lOih inst. Gen. Twiggs is left to superintend the movement of the troops now here and those that are to arrive, for a while at least. He is in excellent health, and was never looking better. Col. Clark of the 8th Infantry will be left at this place in command, after all the troops have been forwarded, and will have two companies of artillery and one regiment of volun teers under him. Gen. Twiggs, with Capt. May's four companies of dragoons, and Capt. Ridgely's battery of artillery; will bring up the rear as the army moves for ward. Col. IJay's regiment of mounted volunteers and Col. Johnson's regiment of foot Texas are to march to-morrow. The "Gaines Rangers" have joined Col. Hay's regiment, and will leave with it. AH the regular troops now remaining here, ex cept Capt. May's and Ridgely's commands, are also ordered to march to-morrow. It is expected that the army will not move from Camargo before the 25th inst. I do not choose to express an opinion on the proba bility of another fight with the Mexicans, but I know it is thought by many who will have a great deal to do in the matter if one occurs, that a fight, and a hard one at that, is before them. One thing is very certain, and that is, every body - here, except the Mexicans, want at least one more "shake with the followers of Paredes, or whoever may be the leader of the Mexican army. By-the-bye, I had forgotten to tell you an important piece of news important at least to some folks here. Gen. Taylor has issued an order not against the present deluge o "cold water" at all, for lie is too much of a Father Mathew man for that, but against King Alcohol himselt I- i he order is one prohibiting all spirituous liquors fiom entering the mouth of the river. Under it no sutler or merchant will be allowed to carry or send any liquors up the river from this place, and all persons in Matamoras are proniuiteu irom ha "creature" after the 15th inst. - The order has created quite a sensation in Bn&r-fhrucittrngr t i to tuinga tor matamoras mat could have been done except burning it down, There will be a smart winding up of things here immediately, in consequence, Yours, &.c, V. A. L. Matamoras, Aug. 5, 1816. I wrote you from this place yesterday, giving you what information I had of the movement of the army. 1 have one or two additional items of army news which I may as well send you. I told you that Col. ri m s nays lexas regiment ot mounted men, winch l shall accompany, would march to day. Owing to the non-arrival of his tents, which have been sent for at Point Isabel, he cannot leave before Jto-morrow or the day after, but by the latter time the regiment will move. It does not proceed, as I understood it would, direct from Camargo, but will go towards Tampico into the interior and join the main army in a few weaks at Camargo. It is the settled opinion of all here that Hays will meet a strong force of Mexicans on this route and of course have a fight. Gen. Taylor, it seems, intends giv ing the- Rangers a chance "on their own hook" to get into a "scrape" and then get out of it s best they may. The regiment, learn, is about 700 strong. NEWS FROM TIIE SANTA FE EXPEDITION. We are indebted to a friend for a number of the St. Louis Republican of the 21st, from which we extract the following intelligence: An express from Gen. Kearney's camp, at Bent's Fort, arrived at Fort Leavenworth on the Mill instant. The express left Gen. Kearney on the 29th of July. v- , V- Gen. Kearney, tith his command, con sisting ot .several companies of U. S. Uiagoons, the 1st Regiment of Missouri Volunteers, under Col. Doniphan, and the Battallion of Volunteer Artillery, under Major Clark, set out from Bent's Fort fur Santa Fe on the 1st day of August. The Jroops were all in excellent health and spirits there had been but one death up to the lime the express left. A general stampede took place among the horses two days before the express left, and at the time of his leaving about fifty horses, chiefly belonging to the volunteers, were missing, and it was feared they would not be recovered. This will operate severely on those who have lost their horses, for itijihe event, of their not recovering them, they will have to travel on foot. A short time before the express left, Caplain Moore, of the U.S. Dragoons, captured three spies, who had been sent out from Santa Fe, to ascertain the character, extent, &.c. of the United States force. After their purpose was ascertained, by the orders of Gen. Kearney, they were shown all over the army, and after ihey had seen every thing, they were dismissed and permitted to return to Santa Fe. From these men, and also from other sources it had been ascertained satisfactorily that (here would be no resistauce made to Gen. Kearney's taking possession of Santa Fe. Intact, it is said, that the Mexi-

cans were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the army, believing-that it would furnish them a harvest in the way of trade, and protection from the troublesome Indians in their vicinity? There were no troops at Santa Fe, nor in the upper provinces, and none were expected. Gov. Armijo had issued a proclamation, in which he states that the existing hostilities between the United States and Mexico will not interrupt the trade between Ihe United States and Santa Fe. That in all respects, it shall be conducted as if the war did not exist. This, of itself, is a sufficient indication that Governor Armijo does not intend to offer resistance to Gen. Kearney.

Our informant states, that the ladies of Santa Fe were making extensive preparation? for the reception of the United States troops; snd some expected to be permitted to eo with the expedition to California. . i - i r I Preparations were matting lor tanuango dances and oiher sports. !t is said that uen. Kearney will stop at Santa Fe until Cot. Price's Kegiment arrives there. That, upon ibeir arrival, that Regiment, or a portion of it, will he left to occupy Santa Fe and other important points in the vicinity, and uen Kearney, wiut residue of the force, will proceed immeo.'ately to California. ; The five hundred Mormon Inlantry, under the command of Lieut. Col. Allen, were frogressing rapidly. They made thirty-eight miles in two days. It . was believed they would reach Bent s Fort nearly as soon as Col. Price's Regiment, and quite as soon as the purpose of their enlistment required. A great many traders and a very large amount of goods are going out. They are scattered all along the route. The road is represented as in splendid condition. , 1 here were a number of traders, we believe all but those whom Capt. Moore failed to overtake, at Bent's Fort and would move on to Santa Fe with the army. They are quite discour aged with tha prospect before them. They will arrive several months later than they an ticipated, and the prospect of trade is by no means flattering after they reach there. When the Little Missouri left Fort Leav enworth, on the 16th, there were yet at the Fort nine companies, a portion of Colonel Price's regiment, and a portion of Lieut. Col. Willock's extra battallion. orr Our last St. Louis papers are rejoic ing over the passage of the River and Har bor Bill, unsuspicious of the veto thunder bolt about to blast their hopes. Here are lerters from two Missouri Locofocos in Con gress, rejoicing the hearts of their constit uents with the tidings of the passage of the bill; "House or Representatives, July 24,'40. "The River and Harbor Bill has this mo ment passed the Senate, without amendment, by a vote of 34 to 16. "This gives us 240,000 for our rivers, &, $75,000 for our harbor. Thank God ! it has triumphed over Vie machinations of hypo critical and false friends and open foes, uiui, uu to suje. ,-. , . "Yours in haste, J. B. BOWLIN, Ah, Jamie! you little dreamed how powerful was one "hypcritical and false friend" that you had never susupected. The Locofoco editor inttoduces this with the joyous remark that "the bill only wants the signa ture of tiie President to become a law." True enough for the want of osu that it is dead as Caesar. Here is the letter of another Loco Mem ber to the Msssouri Reporter: "House of Rep., July 24, 18 10. "Dear Sir: I have the pleasure to inform you thatjhe River and Harbor Bill, which passed the House, has this moment passed the Senate, without amendment, by a vote of 34 to 16. ft only requires the Executive sanction to become a law. Yours, truly, JAMES II. RELFE." On this the Reporter thus exults: "The large vote for this bill in the Senate more than two to one shows that the Western policy is settled at last, and hereafter we anticipate less difficulty in securing proper appropriations for our large rivers." Unhappy Reporter! caught in the very act of propagating the rankest u Federalism,''' af ter years of valient and profitable devotion to "Democracy." What will it do? Tribune.

We have not had leisure to look over the work which is highly spoken of by the press generally. (7- A new Locofoco paper has just been started in our neighboring town of Princeton, styled the Clarion. Princeton has now two papers. A neutral paper has just been issued at New Harmony entitled the Atlas. BETTER BE HONEST. The passage ef the new Tariff Bill and the vetoing of the River and Harbor Bill, are sttiking instances of retributive justice, Pennsylvania was forewarned lhat should she aid to elect Jas. K. Polk as President, one of the first measures of hits administration would be to take away from her great coal and iron interest ihe protection given by the law of 1842. But she chose to trust to Punic Faith and now she reaps the reward of her foolish confidence, ft avails not to say "that Mr. Polk,known unto be friendly to such a measure could never have received her vole." Better have been honest. The Locofoco members of the West, during the progress of the Tariff Bill, both in the Senate and in the House, had the power either to postpone or defeat it. They chose however, to . obey the behest of party, and to give their sanction to a measure, which their convictions of, right and justice

had already condemned. And they have their reward. The Bill making appropriations for the improvement of their Rivers and Harbors, and thus giving security tothe lives and property .ol their constituents, met not the approval of their wise and sagacious President. Thev crv "thev have been be

trayed" that "this might have been prevented, ' will not now repair the miscliiet. l ruiy "with what measure ye - mete, it shall be measured to you again." Boston Atlas. "WHICH IS THE BRITISH PARTY?" The Montreal Courier of the 5th inst., revering to the passage of McKay's bill for the encouragement, of British Manufacturers, says : . - "AS ENGLISHMEN WE ARE OF COURSE PLEASED THAT THE TARIFF IS ABOLISHED, as taken in conjunction with the abolition of our Corn Laws, it will open an immense market for us, but IF WE WERE AMERICANS WE SHOULD CERTAINLY BE TARIFF- MEN." A flagrant abuse was exposed a few daya ago - in the llouge of Representatives in the course of a debate on the Appropriation Bill. At the !at session of Congress the sum of $15,000 wis ."nripriated to pay the expenses of a mission f . ' n ,i i ;u T-;.n. ;n tO tllt v'OIMBitl'UCS BIIU VIUC wnu lliUI.il. 11.

" this sum; but that is of bat small consideration in comparison with the fact which it discloses. that mere nnuistenal otneers nye no mi scruple in disregarding- the acts of Longres whenever thev think tit to "lane me responsi bility" of failing to do what the laws" enjoin, or of doing what ihe laws forbid. It is con ceded that if the large sum ol fcUi,oiu naa been asked for originally to enable commissioners to open negotiations with the wild In dian tribes of Texs, Congress wouia not nave made an snorouriation at all; but the Execu tive having seut in its estimate of $15,000 as amply sufficient for this purpose, it was granted and now the commissioners bring in a bill of four time that amount! It is obvious that there is no longer anv limit to the extrava gance and profligacy of government agents if the expenditures are to be. regulated by tbeir sole discretion instead of by the laws of the land. But we fear that corruption is just aa "progressive" as 'democracy," and there seems to be as little hope ot checking tne one as taa other. Richmond Whig. : From the Raleigh Register- 4A GLORIOUS WHIG VICTORY IN NO It HI, CAROLINA. . It is almost impossible for us to find language sufficiently strong to describe the fulluess of feeling, the deep-seated thankfulness aud exultation, which fills our bosom, in announcing to the Whigs of the Union that North Carolina, still remains the unfaltering advocate of Liberty and the Constitution. We are now warranted in proclaiming that, at the election just field, we have succeeded in sucurins a Whig Governor, a Whig Senate, a Whig House of Commons, and two United Stales? Senators! - - Calmly, but firnmly, have the Whigs of North Caroliua, confident in their own strength, strong in the faith of a good causs, unmoved by results elsewhere, met the crisis like men and patriots. The result ia alike honorable to them, and inspiriting to the Whigs of the wholo Union.- They take their place, by right, in the van of the Whig army. They have planted their fiag-ntaff and pledged our honest old State, now and henceforth, to the uncompromising supportof Whig principles. - We have met our opponents on tbeir choaon issues, and utterly overwhelmed them. Froud, indeed, is our position! . It is impossible to say what point Gov. GriBiM's majority .will reach, but it cannot tall short of 10,000! The returns are now consult, ed rather aa a matter of curiosity than interest, - In the Senate we shall have a m jority of from two to four.
