Tue other. alo; has acted as our foreman for the pest year, and though the stall n was very arduous and perplexing, he performed his duties with great faithfulness. We have reason therefore to believe, that as thesyoung nv-n have dealt faithfully towards us, they Will bo equally true to o'.hers. So far as their mechanical abilities are concerned, wc kn ne that no better printers can be found any ich re. We will guarantee that they will give ample satisfaction in this rep.H t. We are coaluVnt also that they will sustain themselves intellect unity. Thev have goo! common sense, a much better quality for an editor ahoa) gam IS J. If it don't exhibit as many fhncei s, it bear', much better fruit. They have great industry also, which is a g d substitute for, if indeed it be not better than genius. Our fr.ends therefore in the vicinity of N?vv Albany, and especially in the First District, will do a service to themselves, and the I)ems"ratic cause, as well as to these worthy lunar mon, by extend. n to them a liberal and hearty supput. We feel un: that they will prove themselves altogether deserving of confidence in every respect. We have written these sentences not in the ordinary spirit of eeeetesy, too often the basis of newspaper pad, but hecsnjs we feel more deeply even than wc speak. We know what it is to start out into the field of editorial !a'or with sanguine anticipations; and to drain to the dregs the büter cup which awaits almost every youthful follower in the same path. Would that our young friends could gather the flowers without being pierced with the thorns ! Such at least is our hope ami our prayer. And whether it be fulfilled or not, depends very much upon those whom they iu good faith propose to serve. oin4 to ihr Caejri House, in-.

We learn that the whig convention held at Cumberland, nominated Nicholas McCaSTT, Ksq. as tlieir candidate for Congress. We regret tana, b. cause they might have put forth a less worthy mm to be beaten. As a "entleman and an honest man. we esteem him hi.'hlv : as a politician, we do not think he suits tlie people, and we are sure be does not suit us. However, being the second richest man in the township, (as per the tax list) we suppose his friends thought he could best elSJfd it ; and, pvrhaps, certain other aspirants thought this the best plan to keep him out of I . ir way in future. C.rn. Hwwarat's It mains. Our friend, J. L STSSTCSJSS, appointed, under the law of last winter, to convey the remains of the lamented (Jen. T. A. Howard, from Texas to this State, returned with them yesterday, on his way to Roekville, where thev will be re-interred. Mr. S. has had a short and fortunate trip, and met fully the expectations of his friends and the public generally. What arrangements arU to be made here, we are not fully advised of St tins present vrrtting. Sildif.r.s. Last week, apt.

They were mostly from L ike county. Wo be to the enemy they ever g -t their eye on ! We'll back them, two to uue, against all the "greasers" in Christendom. fjjrTba St. Louis Union justly observes, that one of the most ridiculous instances uf self-stultification ever witnessed, is now seen iu the conduct of the w I. ig press of this country. After denouncing the war Uriah great vehemence, it seizes uku the fact of its unparalleled success as material for whig capital. Political harpies h ive ssassd upon thefamcoft.cn.

The old hero will not sutler his laurels to be thus laniished- His reply to the .New Vork w ire-w orkers, shows that he understands such mncments, .nd cannot be nsed by auch schemers. He has declared the present w ar to 1 e ii'd, and with what consistency can those who denounce it as "unjust and infamous" claim to be his champions and esjecial friends.

In haste, yours, " THOMAS iHlWMMi. frrThe cred.t ofthe selection of the battle-field of Buena Vista is probably due to Captain (leorge W. Hughes of the Topographien 1 Engineers. In a letter bich he sent u the " Union," dated March 0 be says : M Ynu will remember th it in one .f my prtpers 1 eesignsted a position just in ad ranee of San Juan dc Boens Wta as the true battle-lield for the defence ol Saltillo. I had previously carefully examined the whole valley, and designated that locality to (icncral Wo-jI. I ouglit to aay eaggestedJ" The paper to which he here refers was dated Feb IS. After premising that tiie tow n of Saltillo is of itself indefensible, it being commanded on three side by hills, he sa s 44 The irue battle-field for its defence in front is just beyond the bsctenda of San Juan de Boens Vistn. about four miles beyond the town. On this apt. roach is a narrow defile, occupied by the river, on the right hand of winch ries a high blutf lull, and on the 1 ft is a wide, deep, and almost impassable arroya. This piss mav be completely swept by a converging fire of artillery, and an be turned only by light infantry on t e one i.and, while on the other side of the ravine (in which is a running stream of water) no troops can pa -.s Without exposing their tlank to the artillery within point blank range. To occupy the whole valley would demand about 1,1 00 men of all arms, with powerful batieriea of Hold artillery, and it would probably require aoSM 1500 more to hold the town, protect the depots, and guard the passes. This force could deietM i!iillo in that direction trom overwhelming numbers and superior guns." Wsifl TsaiTOSS. Lieutenant Colonel Henry s. Lane, of Montgomery county, in an address at Matsmoras, .Mexico, on the twenty second of February I . 111.1 en i " last, holds the following language : " -iKioesmu uecome me in asj paeaami pnoiieo iu : speak of the causes which led to the present unhappy conffict between the United Sia.es and Mexico, nor of the maimer in which the war has been conducted ; it is enough for us to know that we are here at the call of our country that we came to defend a sister State to protect the national honor to avenge the blood of our langhtcrrd brethren. If the character of the war is changed, or shall be changed hereafter, we are surelv not to blame for it. When our Territory is invaded, our citizens butchered, and our conntrv is in vol veu in a state of war, actual, real, lernoic war, the citizen who Iben withholds his aid and stops coldly to calculate the causes and chances of that war. whatever his professions unv be, he is at UCAS1 a TRAITOR.' v hat aoes .ne Indiana Journal say to tbil .' Lane is a whig, vet he takes democratic ground in relati n to the war, and asserls, justly, we think, that the course pursued by Ihc Journal, is trtdtorottM fjrThe following resolutions have been introduce , by .Mr. Nicholas (democrat) into the legislature of Louisiana and read the first time ! 44 Whereas, The ever-glorious victory of Buent V.sta has tiled the whole country sithj y tmd exul tation, and the Senate and House of Representative of the State of Louisiana is General Assembly convened feel called on tu give expression to a feeling so universally pervading t.'.is State: therefore. "It solved. That the legislature of the State of r n Louisiana iu General Assembly convened, tender their thanks to Gen. Taylor and his gallant army for theii services in the evermemorable action of Boens Vista. in which they have shown, what probably they aloax could have shown, the possibility of their former achievements being surpassed. tLesdted, Thai the Ijegislalurt eamnai refrait from expressing the h"ir and heHef, that st uns so ra fidh laying 'nml nj mi'i'' opinim, that the services o Ihe distinguished chief of this ejaUmnl lilt e army nuts lend " lis bring rafted, fry the acclamation t tie w hole peppJe, 1 the highest office in their gill. "Resettled, That the Governor of the State be nmi he is hereby asth trixed and requested t" have struck, by a competent artist, a gold medal, w ith suitable devices, to be presented in the name ofthe State to (Jen Z. Taylor. R pa ted, That the Governor be requested to for war! lo Gen. Tsyl r a copy of these resolutions." The Delta intimates that .Mr. Nicholas wants to g to Congress, and thinks to pave Ins way there by this movement. There is no doubt but that the othVeseekers of all parties are very willing just now to sing pans to Gun. Taylor, and thus to partake of his popularity. 07"Puebla is one of the handsomest cities in the Mexican territory. The houses are lofty and in good taste, and the streets are wide and clean. About rix miles from the city stood Cholula, which Cortes d -scribed 44as having a population of furty thousand citizens well clothed, and, as it might appear, peculiarly devout according to their own style, for the conqueror C ousted in it the tower four hundred idol temples." Of this city not a vestige remains bat an immense mound of brick, on which now stands a R umiak chojiel. fj7 -Speaking of the recent call for a new regiment of Volunteers, the Richmond Palladium says 44 Volunteers inny be found ; but we had hoped the people of Indiana, being convinced that the war with .Mexico is ill-signed alone to secure the SSnesStaOS of territory upon which to establish the institution of aba very, would refuse to aid the President in ins unholy scheme. Wc shall see." Tiiis talk about additional slave territory is sheer nonsense If otherwise, why should Calhoun, and other slavery leaders oppose the war, and especially any further acquisition of territory ? The fact is, that abolition, whiggery, and ultra slavery are now cheek by jowl, giving 44aid and comfort" to each other.

While the .Missouri forces were advancing spoa the Mexican entrenchments at Sacramento, a tall private in one of the companies called ut to the captain to hall, and the officer Opposing hat he was faltering, and fearful of suc.i a feeling at so perilous a moment, leaped in front and nleriily shouted "forward," 44 Ho, Captam ! hush, hist ! keep shady a moment," said he, " that's a feller pernio1 over ihe bank at us; jest let me try my old sbuotin lixiu' on him.'' "Forward! 1 say, sir," shouted the officer again. Well, but Jest to try the thing.

During the fight a party of one company were, trom their position, watching for chance simois at those who showed themselves inside the entrenchments; and the .Mexicans appearing to have Iiitie idea of the marksmanship of the men opposed to them, would expose their persons -is they fired their pieces; those who did so were slmost certsin to fall by the tire of the Missouri sharp shooters; and so little did the latter consider themselves in danger from the return fire, that they kept up a lire of laughter, also, at the success of their shots.
