It is suggested that the British Govern ment may have consented to wink at it, and assure the payment of the money to thei subjects. By this means they could rende assistance to Santa Anna, without committing themselves as parties to the war. It is di ficult to conceive how Santa Anna, rash and imprudent, and unprincipled as he may be, could, at such a crisis as this, venture to provoke the enmity of a Government whose boast it is, like that of imperial Rome, to protect its subjects in their just rights, wherever they may be, and at all hazards. It is necessary, too, that we should know why the strict blockade ordered by Mr. Polk has been relaxed so far as the interests of British subjects are concerned, less all nations pass the blockade? It seems so accor ding to late statements in the New Orleans papers. Why go to the expense of blockaFrom the Indiana State Journal. THE REAL OBJECTS OF THE WAR. There is a commendable frankness about the leaders of the Southern wing of modern Democracy. They boldly avow their object whenever they advocate any national movement. The annexation o( Texas was urged by them for the avowed purpose of increasing the number of slave States. They were successful, though not satisfied with that success. They now wish to conquer Mexico for lhe same purpose, and they have the honesty to say so. Read the following from the Charleston Courier of a late date: "Besides, every battle fought in Mexico, and every dollar spent there but insures the acquisition of territory which must widen the field of Southern enterprise and power in the future. And the final result will be to readjust the whole balance of power in the confederacy, so as to give us control over the operations of the Government in all time to come. If the South be true to themselves, the day of our depression is gone and gone forever." The writer goes on to speak of a probable combination of the opponents of slavery in the INorth to "prohibi; the introduction of slavery in any territory to be acquired in Mexico," and says: "If they succeed in restricting slavery one inch below the Missouri compromise, then if we submit to it. we shall deserve our degra ded destiny. When this issue is tendered us let the consequences be what they may, we must meet it as becomes men and freemen. It will be no time to argue. Not that we should care to reserve acquired territory merely as a habitation for slaves, but if they succeed iu fixing restrictions against that institution especially, it will be a moral degradation and insult to us, which, if we bear in peace, will make us the fit subjects of despotism." l ' r .1 n . i ue line oi trie Missouri compromise is at 36 30. Almost the whole of Mexico and nearly all its wealth is below that line. If we conquer Mexico it is to be annexed to this Union as slave States. This is the truth honestly proclaimed. In commenting upon this, the Cincinnati Uhronicle well remaiks: "or this, our army has marced on foreign land. For this, the blood of the brave has been spilled around the walls of Monterev For this, have the bones of those who dieJ in lin.nll.l. n ..mi.nl I I, n I. ' 1 f .

We do not mean to exaggerate this case But the reader knows that the actions of the Administration cot respond with the the

If, by any supineness on the part of the people, they should prevail, who can tell the end? It will be well, indeed, if the historian is not compelled to write: " Farewell! A long farewell to all our greatness."

STILL LATER FROM MEXICO. We copy the following from the New Or-

eans Picayune of the 20th. Every line and word is full of interest: We have received by the schooner Mitis pacers from Vera Cruz to the 8th inst., being eifhtdays later than our advices by way of Havana. I heir intelligence is interesting and not without importance. We miss the papers of the 1st inst., which contained Santa Anna's address from San Luis, in which he endeavors to heal the dissensions of parties in the capital, and renounces forever for himself political office. Judging from the tone of the papers, this will not do. Parties are so embitered against each other that he only can stay their excess es and unite the country. All appeal to him especially the extreme federalits, to assume power. In the end he will be constrained to do so, or civil war ensue. The tone of the Mexican papers is embittered against us as ever. Nothing is talked of in the Provinces but the war: and in the capital, Lut the war and the political divisions. But let us first brio? up the news as to the expediton - of Tabasco. When Com. Perry left the anchorage near Vera Cruz for Tabasco, the Mexicans suppo sed that Alvarado was again to be attacked It was only some days after that they learned his real destination. Their first accounts of the result were published on the 2d inst They treat it as a wanton, preditory expedition, prompted only by the defenceless stale of Tabasco, and they taunt us with our two repulses from Alvarado and defy us to renew the attempt. The Indicador says that the Captain Gen eral at Vera Cruz received despatches on the 5th inst., the United Slates to the Mex ican Secretary of Stale of Foreign Affairs. The porport was unknown to the editor but he presumes it to be another proposal on our part for peace Mr. Polk presuming that the lall of Monterey will dispose the Mexi cans to submission. It will turn out a good joke, says the editor, for Mr. Polk spelling it Pork by accidentj when he tinds out that that misfortune has produced an effect precisely contrary; and that theje is not a man in the nation who thinks of peace until the United Stales has given satisfaction for the injuries they have done usand indemnified us for the injuries inflicted by their Vandal crusade. He goes on to say that lhe supreme government neither wishes nor is it authori zed to enter upon negotiations, i lie subject beloiiffs to the Congress to assemble in De cember, which assuredly will not render null the efforts which the nation is making to obtain by open force complete justice. There will be peace, he adds if the Americans wish it. but it will be upon these conditions and after the preliminaries have been settled at San Luis or further towards the frontier. The Government received despatches on the 1st inst. from Santa Anna with a state ment of what measures for defence he had taken, and expressing a hope that he should be able to repair the honor ot the nation. Santa Anna also wrote that General Taylor fhad receivecLfrom Washington a million .of dollars, and reinforcements which carried the number of his troops to 24,000. The papers still complain of the excesses committed by the Americans at Monterey Families continued to leave for Saltillo, and from the neighborhoooof the latter city even, they were going south to escape the visitation of our troops. A letter witten from San Luis Potosi on the 28th of October says there were then 18,000 troops there, and that in fifteen days more theie would probably be 30,000. There was no room for people in the city and pro visions were excessively scarce. Gen. Santa Anna had ordered a number of officers to leave their commands in the ar my and repair to the village of Pozos for trial on the charge of cowardice at Monterey The list includes Gens. Jaurequi and Ra mirez; Cols. Carrasco and Encisco; Lieut. Cols. Castro and Fernandez; Commandants of Squadrons, Bena Landeros and Ramirez; and First Adjutant Mariano Ilueila. of the battalion of San Luis. We have a long despatch from Almonte giving directions for lhe execution of a decree of Salas, commanding people in possession of arms to bring them in for the use of the Government, to be appraised, &.c. We have no time for the details, but the Government shows itself in earnest in bringing out all the material in the country. Gen. Santa Anna has declined to receive any pay for his services. The Government of the State of San Luis Potosi has passed a decree expelling from its limits every Anglo-American living there giving them three days, counting from the 21st of October, to take their departure. The election of Deputies to the Constitu ent of Congress took place on the 15th inst. in the different States. From the New Orleans Bee. WHO IS JAMES K. POLK? During the last Presidential campaign, the Whig press often asked, in allusion to the previous comparative insignificance and obscurity of the Locofoco candidate, "Who is James K. PoLK?" No sooner had the returns ex hibited the melancholy fact that Henry Clay was defeated, than Locofocoism, in the fullness of its triumph and the exuberance of its exultation, tauntingly repeated the inter rro"alory, and demanded of the Whigs wlieih er they had yet discovered who James K. Polk was? The Whig press, then as ever. firm in the consciousness of sound principles and political rectitude, maintained that the result of that severe contest was no evidence of Mr. Polk's greatness and popularity. His election was not due to himself. He had maintained a discreet and unbroken silence from the commencement of the canvass to its close. His warmest partisans never sought to magnify his mediocre qualities by the mi croscopic medium ol newspaper eulogy, lhe task was beyond their powers. Adulation iisef could not confer upon him the elements of greatness. The conflict was maintained and completed upon other grounds than the personal attributes of Mr. Polk. The Locofoco parly were thrice foitunate in their choice of issues, and most adroit in their management of them. They had the annexation question, with its overwhelming popularity in the South, they had Free Trade for

the same quarter; they had the claim to the

whole of Oregon to captivate and ensnare the West; while in the Norm ana uasi tney pursued a double dealing and deceptive policy which was but too successful. Above all they had a candidate in the person of Mr. Polk, whose previous career offered few salient ooints of attack, and whose weakness disarmed his adversaries; while in his opponent, thev found a prominent politician identified with the history of the country for half a century, and in whose public and orivate conduct calumny and traduction r - - - , mifht hope to bury their envenomea uiigs. Locofocoism skillfully availed itself of all ad vantarrp. and nrevailed after a struggle of unparalleled intensity, . b , r- - Mr PnTir hema chosen resident, came ..... - o before the country almost as a new man Upon some questions his views were altogeth er uncertain, even to his own adherents. Pennsylvania had been taught to believe him orthodox on the Protective policy South Carolina had been assured that he was i thorough going advocate of Free Trade Upon other topics he was believed to enter tain fixed opinions. The people awaited impatiently the first session of Congress un der his administration that all doubt in respect to his opinions might be dispelled. That session was held, and was made me morable by a departure from almost every principle proclaimed during the Presidential canvass. The Tariff of '4'2 was repealed and a mongrel bill submitted in which a cer tain anrjroach is made to the doctrine of Free Trade, and a system of duties framed just protective enough to maintain a linger ing vitality in the Domestic manufactures of ot the country, rennsytvania ana ixew York at length discovered how egregiously they had been misled; how completely fooled by the cunning demagogues who had "prated to them of the attachment of Mr. Polk to the late Tariff. The Oregon question was settled upon the 49th parallel and the West deeply offended by the surrender ot a claim which had been made one ot the most prom inent issues of the campaign. To add to the discontent ot that section, Mr. Polk, by his veto of the River and Harbor bill, demon slrated that he was a straight-laced Const i tutionist of the Virginia school of intangible political transcendentalism a doctrine alike distasteful to the common sense, and repug uant to the vital interests of the West, Congress adjourned and a series of impor tant eleciions followed. The result is now before the people. If ever.au administration received an emphatic, signal and almost uni versal verdict ot condemnation, it is that of Mr. Polk. The question "Who is James K. Polk?" is now fully answered. The people of Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary land, Georgia, Florida, and Iowa, have responded, they have found out who he is, and they repudiate him and his policy They have expediated the sin of voting blind ly for one whom they did not know; by cast ing him off as eoou as they became familial with him. Never in the annals of out Gov ernment has such a popular re vol J lion oc curred. It will be a lesson'io party tricksters and wire-pullers for half a century. They now learn the folly of attempting to impose upon the people, and the certain retribution that visits political turpitude. ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA. The arrival of the Acadia brings us four days later news from Europe; but there is nothing iu it of very geueral interest. The money article of the Times speaks of "speedy export of bullion to the United States." This, it is said, may produce important results in the present critical condition of the money market." A very large quantity of corn had reached England and of course the rates were depressed. The London and Paris Journals are occupied about the Spanish match. All sorts of remarks prevail, it is said Russia sides with England, and is determined to check the growth of ie Orleans family; Germany remains passive. Some of the Journals anticipate a war. There is no cause for it on any side, It is, as we hate said, a quarrel between cabinets a sort of royal-family tilling; in ivhich those who have been outwitted may pout and fret and protest, but about which the people care but little, and for which the Government will hardly dream of fighting. The Spanish maid is wed. That ends the affair, except that John Bull growls and has the sulks and don't like the triumph of French diplomacy. The London Chronicle of the 3d speaks ol a sudden quarrel between the Porte and the American legation in that city. The cause of it is stated to be, that the American minister offered protection to an Armenian priest who had been delivered up o the Austrian authorities, fiom whose custody he escaped. and sought refuge in the house of an American missionary at Smyrna. The Armenian in the mean time escaped to America. The condition of Ireland seems to grow worse and worse. Want prevails among the people generally ; the government, meantime, seems paralyzed. rortugai is in a disturbed state, it is thought that the Queen may have to take refuge in the British fleet. lada Bandiera, a man of energy and talent, has fled from Libson and joined the revolutionists of the north. The military has declared, in part, against the court. Every sign, indeed, looks as if Portugal must be made wet with blood shed in a terrific revolutionary struggle. We close our synopsis with the general summary of Wilmer's Times, of the 4ih ult: The Great Western carried out the fact that there will be no immediate meeting of Parliament, and that the ports will not be opened for the admission of grain free of duty. The tone of the ministerial organs before the Cabinet Council prepared the public or such a result, and although on this as on all other topics of the day, there is necessarily much dissimilarity of opinion the judgement of the business poriion of the world has already endorsed the resolution at which the government has arrived, with approval. The opening of the ports is a point on which a wider margin of opinion exists, and on a review of the pros and cons of the question, the benefits and the evils appear to be pretty weli balanced. Already the alarm

prodnced by the state of things in Ireland ia

ubsiding, and most oi tne corn markets in England are becoming easier. Prepared, lowever for riots, in tne sister country, in consequence ot the state of matters there, the Government is concentrating a targe amtary force, so that any attempt to disturb the peace will be promptly and energetically put down. - - - - ' - The news from Ireland is painful. There may be, probably there i9, some exaggeration in the accounts of starvation and destitution; but after making a liberal discount for every maginable species of ingenuttytin this bead enough remains to show that in various districts the poor people are in a wretched plight. But while there is so much misery stirring, the evil is increasd by the conduct of the people themselves. The charitable interference of the Government seems to have destroyed that self-reliance which under the most favorable circumstances, is not a mark ed feature in the character of the nation. Instead of looking the evil boldly in the , face and putting their shoulders resolutely to: the wheel the peasantry in many parts of the country, were public works are undertaking in order to mitigate the evil, are higgling about the rate of wages, and actually demand a higher scale of remuneration from the Government than they were in the habit of. receiving from private individuals! The; Lord Lieutenant has been so much annoyed at the absence of all sympathy, the want of gratitude on the part of the people, that he has given peremptory orders, where such annoyances prevail, to the servants of the Government to withdraw, and leave the dis sentients to their remedy. - t OBITUARY EXTRAORDINARY. J The melancholy bereavement chronicled below, is thus appropriately noticed by the Ed-i itor of the Troy Whig: Obituary. Died on the 3d inst., in the State of New York an unfortunate loafer named free trade. He was raised in the South, and sent North by his friends as a commercial missionary; but the climate being ; altogether unsuited to his constitution, be was attacked by a peculiar species of consumption, known as home consumption, to which after many struggles he has at last suc cumbed. It is thought that his final exit was hastened by sundry kicks and curls which be received in New Hampshire, Maine, Penu- i sylvania, and New York, but .'or which he might have lingered some ti.Tie longer.'. Throughout bis painful illness he has been faithfully attended by Drs. Poik and Dallas, and a tender hearted old woman of the name cf Rilche has officiated as his nurse; feeding him wiih asses milk and the like nourishing aliment. In order that be might enjoy the benefit of the country air, he was sent on a tour through the rural districts ot Pennsylvania and New York, but the bluff faimers taking him for a British- agent in disguise, refused to haibor him, and be breathed his last in the presence of a few friends in the city of New York, v ho would not lelitve until lie hud actually given up the ghosl that his disease was mortal. - The body of the deceased will be sent to Washington for in'erment ; and in order that it may be buried with appropriate honors, a shell of Biiiish oak and a pall of British velvet have been provided for the occasion! As the deceased had -a great antipathy to everything of American nixnufacuie, each article used at the ceremony isiequiredfo be foreign and indeed it is probable that most of tt.e weeping will be done abroad. The only poriion claimed by Americans in the last offices due to the departed, is the piivilege if driving the nails into his coffin. . The funeral will take place soon after the arrival of the body at the capitai, as it has already become offensive to the nostrils of the people. Polk, Dallas, Buchanan, and Marcy , have been named as Pall Bearers, and Calhoun, McDuffie, Rhett and Sevier will officiate as chief mourners. The Whigs of sixteen Slates have volunteered to chant his requiem, and having constituted themselves . into a funeral committe, have caused his grave to be dug so deep that the "hand of reserrection" will never reach his cold remains. We give below the sketch of a cenotaph already erected to his memory. As contributions come in (and they are coming very rapidly,) the structure will be raised to a etill more commanding altitude.
