(Published three times a week during tho session.) One copy $100 Three copies $10.00 Tlac Dying Flurry. Tho Journal and the Old Junto arc getting desperate, and arc shaking in their shoes like LV-lshazzar cf old, when he witnessed tho fatal inscription. They are convinced at last that inevitable defeat await them, unless by desperate efforts, like tho "flurry" of the dyin tthale, they can swamp their assailants. This is made manifest by the Journal of the 1st instant, and especially ly the leading article headed by the query "Who ought to be our next Governor !" That article would disgrace even Earnctt himself. It is a rehash of political slmders, old and new, against Governor Whitcomb. Many of the falsehoods hare been repeatedly contradicted and denounced, hit the conscientious Journal reiteratts them, just on the eve of the election, in the hope that they will Cud their way to new quarters, which refutation cannot reach till they have done their villhnou? work. It will find itself mistaken. The public mind id not in so deplorable a condition as to quietly and credulously receive them. The "Roorback" marks arc too apparent, and will be understood by all sensible men, and the Journal and the Junto will have their labor for their pains. The Journal concludes its article with a string of eight separate charges against the Governor, which it previously dilates upon. Here it is : 1st With bavin; sacrificed hi political opinion to secure office : 2. With voting Tor, and advocating the Intern! Improvement system of 1S3G: 3. With proving untrue 1 his professions of anxiety far the re-election of Mr. Van Huren, and with attempting to secure tho favor of Gn. Harrison ; 4. With compiling a pamphlet, containing, with a view of deceiving the people, untruth ao palpeple that a Opposition that he did not know then to bo o, would bo an impeachment of hi understanding. 5. With bavin; violated hia pledge to provide a plan for the pay tucnt of the State debt : 6. With having violated hi pledge to te a candidate only for a single term : 7. With having prostituted the power of the appointment of the Supreme Judge, vested in hi hand lor the good of the people, for the purpose of paitizau aggrandizement: 8. With a want of efficiency In tho discharge of the duties of his station. We have not room in this paper to reply to these charges in detail, but chall endeavor to do so briefly. The first charge can be made against any politician who Iim ever seen cause to change hia opinion upon any subject. It can be made against the I'dilor of te Journal himself. II: was once a Jackson man, could not succeed at it, and turned hid coat whig side out. Isn't he a pretty fellow to talk about the motives of other folks 1 2. Gov. Whitcomb voted for the "system" under instructions. This matter was before the people in 1813. They passed their verdict upon it, and justified him. Uut what a charge this is to come from the organ of tho Deep Diggings Marshall It is the acme of impudence. 3. The third charge was refuted when first made by the Tippecanoe Journal ; Und- but a few months ago we republished the refutation then made. The Journal adduces no proof. The charge is untrue. - 4. The fourth charge is ridiculous enough surely. Tho Journal declares that tho Tariff pamphlet contains "palpable untruths." It is beyond the Journal's ability to point them out ; the great man of his party went at the work, and the result was tho publication of "The Other Side of Facts for the People." The people had both sides of the question, and decided in favor of Gov. Whitcomb. They will do the same thing ajain. Query Does the Journal discard and distrust O. II. Smith for his pamphlet, or for what reason ! 5. The Journal repeats the Etale cry that the Governor violated Lis pledge to provide a plan for the payment of the State debt. We should hardly think that any man could have brass enough to make euch a charge, in the face of the fact that a plan wag adopted, and the fact equally well known to all conversant with the history of last winter's legislation, that but for Governor Whitcowb's unceasing efforts in favor of that plan, it would not have been adopted. It shows to what narrow straits tho Old Junto are driven to seek for causes of assault. 6. The sixth assertion, which is repeated three or four times in the same paper, is a lio which, not having yet been contradicted, we suppose that the Whig Editors begin to believe themselves. The Journal did not have the courage to originate this lie ; but it meanly adopts and reiterates it every week. Goter nor Whitcomb never made such a pledge, and no honorable man, whig or democrat, will testify that he ever did. It was Uigjer'g doctrine in 1910, and he and his friends preached it then. It was recalled to memory in 1943, but Bigger and his friends had forgotten all about it, and did the best they could to vio.1. if .i t

g 0 j -J , . they would now be the last to charge others with guilt similar to their own, and that without the slightest reason. We shall see if the Journal repeats this falsehood again. T. The seventh charge, about the Supreme Judges, is a contemptible humbug. The terms of the old Judges had expired by law, and they had no better claim for another appointment than hundreds of other - equally well qualified and more industrious lawyers. The only fault in the whole matter attaches to the Senate, and we hope, and have no doubt that the people will remedy the evil by sending men to the Senatorial body neit winter who will do their duly, and confirm such appointments a may be lawfully and . viudiciously made, according to tho requirements of

jam ii 1 1' i r own iiicti tn. ii inpv n,iu nnv innofr the Constitution. 8. Inefficiency in the discharge of his official duties, is the eighth charge against the Governor. Ti.is is the first time that the Journal has ever been reckless enough to make this charge in general terms. There is not a man in this community, where the Governor is best known, that will sustain the Journal in the a'titude it thus assumes not . one. The Journal knows this, and in the body of its slanderous tirade, it bases this charge solely on the Governor's alleged tardiness in complying with the requiaition for Volunteers. This matter has been already discussed by us. We have not time now to recapitulate what has been said, 'and only enough to point to the fact which triumphantly sustains the policy of the (governor, that, although the reuisitioj was not received her until some days after it had reached Ohio, vt have beaten that Slile, and our Volunteers were organized and in readiness for departure from the Camp, as soon, if not sooner, than the Volun'cers of Ohio. This fact alone is or ought to be enough to

silUfy every honest citizen of the efficiency of Gov. White 'tub, and the dishoncMy of the Journal. Disc as these charges are, there is one in the body of the Jourml's article, which with all its recklessness, it did not dtro to include in its summary, viz: That Governor Whitcu:ii! promised in a Democratic caucus not to take the full amount of his salary from the treasury. Wo have no authority from the Govcraor to contradict this! assertion. Ho is absent. Uut we have the tron-est evidence that he never made

euch a prunic, nT aprted to such a prot-oeition. To do such an act has been decided in Ohio to be an impeachable offence, and no doubt would bo so decided here; and Gov. Whitcomb is not the man thus to put himself at the mercy if his slanderers, even if, for any consideration, he should fail to draw his. salary in full or in part. Uut enough. Our columns are already too much occupied to admit of our pursuing these topics further at present. Wc may revert to some of them again. Uut whether wc do or not, we are satisfied in our own minds that the people know the Old Junto too well, to put faith in slandcrotw charges revived and manufactured, in the forlorn hope of producing a tern- J porary effect on tho heels of tho election. The able and honest administration v( Whitcomb is too well appreciated by the people to be upset in a freak produced by the libels of a crew of broken-down men who all their lives have made politics a trade." 3liiilMcrs to England and Itnssin. The following, paragraphs from a letter of the Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, will commend themselves to public attention. Every important diplomatic station abroad, it will be seen, is filled by a gentleman from the Slaveholding States. The effect of this is inevitable. Every thing within the orbit of these influences, embracing much of the domestic as well as the foreign olicy of the country, is made to accommodate itself to the immediate supposed interests of the South." As long as such a state of things is permitted to exist, it is folly to be surprised at the terms of the Oregon or any other treaty or negotiation. The initiatory steps which these diplomatists have, in a great degrcej tho power of dictating, arc all-important and essential. It is high time fin1 a change not for the sake tf the paltry patronage growing out of these stations that, an honest man can afford to despise, but for the far more important ar.d just consideration of giving to every part of our confederacy its proper weight and influence in the settlement of questions of tho greatest .national concern. There has been a want of manly remonstrance on the part of the free States, against the monopoly of these great offices by Southern men. Though the injustice has long been felt, the fear of being stigmatized as abolitionists, or as fosterers of sectional feelings, has stilled complaint. As to the cry of abolitionism, we despise it. Our course has been Uo well defined for vs to fear its effects. And as to sectionalism, it will never exist but as a consequence, not a cause of evil, and by the action of the South alone. Wc believe that the people of the West are beginning to understand these matters, and it will be well for "the South" not to inflame the now latent sense of injustice and indignation thereat. We do not express these feelings to further the aspirations tf any particular man or set of men. It is necessary that we should make this disclaimer, perhaps, for the reason, that almost every thing in this shape that comes from or goes to Washington, originates, or is supposed to originate, in some scheme of pcrsoral ambition. We do not know but tho moving cause of the extracts below, may be something of this kind, nor do we "care; wc only know that the complaint is just, and the remedy should be demanded and applied. Nor arc we hostile to " the South" j er se. On most questions of public policy we believe the South to be right in principle, and so freely express ourselves. Cut this is no reason why we should passively submit to be devested of the rightful influence which we should exercise upon the public policy in every and all respects. Here are the extracts: Washington, Wednesday, June 24. There if now much interest felt in tegird to the tppoiutmrnt to be made to England, in the place of Mr. McLane, who is about to return, and also to fill the vacancy in the mission to Russia. 1 have heard some individuals named for those stations, but none that would probably meet with the approbation of the appointing power, or of the public. The public hare a liht to expect that these high diplomatic station should be distributed in such a manner throughout the several portions of the Union, as to give to each its due share of influence and patronage growing oat of them. These considerations have always, until recently, been allowed their due weight. They have never been entirely disregarded, except by the present administration. The follow in; are the names of ministers of the highest grade abroad t In England, Mr. MrLane of Maryland; in France, Mr. Kin, of Alibami ; in Piuia, Mr. Donebon, of Tennessee ; In Spain, Mr. Saunders, of North Carolina t in Brazil, Mr. Wise, of Yiirinia; in Turkey, Mr. Carr, of Maryland; and in Mrxico, (if that Mission be not vacant,) Mr. Slidell tf Louisiana. All these gentlemen are appointed from the slaveholding portion of the Union. This restiiction of the high diplomatic appointments to the slaveholding State, is a unwise ai would be' their exclusiee appointment from tbe nonslavebolding States. The President, it is hoped, will consider and correct Ibis injustice and impolicy, when the nominal ions for England and Russia shall be made. So far. I have heard no one mentioned for either of the stations, except gentlemen from the slivcholding- States. It ha, indeed, been barely suggested that, if Mr. Buchanan should retire from the State Department, he might piefer a tnisüioD to England to a scat on the bench. The appointment of Mr. Buchanan would be a very proper one in eveiy tespect. QrWo conclude in this paper the speech of Mr. Benton on the Oregon question. It has- occupied much space, but as the State Sentinel is the only paper in this State, if not in the West, which has published the speech, and as the matter at issue has occupied a large share of public attention, we think the space has been well appropriated. The manner of the ppecch might perhaps have been better; and it certainly ought to have been brought forth earlier. Of the facts and arguments, our readers can judge for themselves. With this speech, and that of Gen. Cass, in reply to it, which we have also published in full, every reader can make up his own opinion as well as wc can do it for him. Chapmm Ins something to say about the scarcity of lla tiki Is lately. Wonder if that was the reason he backed out from going with the volunteer company! Indiana Democrat. IIuw true is the adage, Evil communications corrupt good manners;" and how poon "a man is known by the company he keep." The junior of the Democrat is informed that what Chapman said about blankets was merely copied from his senior's letter published by him; and as for the "backing out from going with the volunteer company "-he knows it is a falsehood. Strange how soon a young man can bo ost ! "Wonder" if he shares with the ammissaryj Ex tenses. It was asserted by Webster that the daily expenses of the government were half a million of dollars. According to the Quartermaster General's oflice they are but one million a month. Thcro is a small difference in these calculations. Louisville Democrat. Webster took back tho statement which he made, but the Whig papers take good care not to let the people kno;v that fact. The lie is out, and they will dj all they can to keep it afloat. Political Clergtme. The Boston Post administers a keen and withering rebuke to those tenants of the pulpit who forget their legitimate sphere to libel the administration, denounce war,' and interfere with he policy of statesmen.The wheat crop is aid to be bad in s'jaic parts of of Maryland.

Joseph ii. UlureiixiU. The speeches of Mr. Maksiiall, made during his tour thiongh the Northern part of the State within the last two weeks, arc spoken of as receiving general commendation. Ho will receive a strong vote in that quarter. And, indeed, wc hear that his prospect ii good in every portion of the State. Let Iiis friends turn out on the election day and he certainly will be otir next Governor. State Journal. The Journal's sources of information must be very peculiar. The newspapers which wc receive from the North, and we get nearly all of them, tell a very different story from that indicated by the Journal.

From two, which happen to be this moment at hand, wc copy extract-, which will tend in some degree to show how much the Journal has been deceived by its own hopes, or by the partial representations of Mr. Marshall's friends. From the Gothen Democrat, Jmt 23. Jisrrn G. Masshall. This gentleman made his advent in Goshen on Monday last Large handbills had announced his coming fur several days, and from rxeitioni male with that of jeet, a big meeting might have been expected. Veiy different was the result. As f r the speech, we cunfes it was very tamej and, in common with other, we suffered much Iiappointmetit. IV pared to give Mr. Marshall a candid hearing and a repeclful notice, we lepaired to the eouit house, with a view of bavin our readers piolit by the elo quence of this M Corwin of Indiana j " but in return fur all thi, an hour of dull common place was oar only recompense. The whole affair in fact was so dall and dispirited that we felt to Rive up tbe undertaking. He dealt altogether in negativ. lie wis DO partisan, and in his own part of the Slate was generally regarded as a no-party-man. lie denpitcd and hated party and paity fpiiit. And yet he wis t Whig and always had hern. He made quite an effort in the next place to remove the stigma of Fcdeialism from modem Wbigeiy. The old Federal paity had long tince becume deceased and its mrmbeis weie ditributed amongst both parties of the prc-cnt day. Could any cne suspect that modem Whigs would hold out beacon lights to the enemies of their country And Mr. M. then pointed to the fact, with au air cf triumph, that tlieie weie Whigs rallying as volunteers to their country's defence in the present contest with Mrxico. The Whig paity sustained and advocated the United Stale Dank because it was an old iustilution, and they were opposed to tampering with the currency. They fuiesaw that to strike that monster down would create a revulsion, contract the circulating medium, and bring on prodigious disaster; and hence they predicted all these result., and opposed its overthrow. Mr. M. believes that banks arc beneficial to the country, but don't care a tiavv whether there is one retained in existence, or not ; and to it is with the Wbi pr'y. In fact he thinks it popular to oppose banks ! The Tariff wai then alluded to quite waiily. Sj of tht State Debt bill. He thought it would appear in the end that it was a scheme got up metely to subserve the interests of the Dund holders, by influencing the Stock-maikcl; but said, that, iu answer to a question from Gov. Whitcomb, at Indianapolis, he replied that had be been in bis place, he would have sanctioned the Hill. He adveited to the fact of his having originally voted giinst the bill abolishing Imprisonment fur Debt denied being a slave holder at present and filially said, his ol jccl was not so much to make a speech, as to show himself and get rcquamled. We have n comments. Though Marshall may not be a Josey, one thing is certain lie is not the man be bat been cracked up to te. From the Luporte Toctin, June 26. J. G. Marshall. This gentliman delivered himself of a violent paitisan speech to an audience of tome 2U0, at the comt IIoue in II. i place, on Friday last. His speech greatly disappointed both parties. Looked up to as one of the first Whigj in the Mate, an able, argumentative, and dignified speech, in which both State and naüonal Questions would be discussed, was expected. Hut his vpeech consisted, almost wholly of abuse of the democratic party, utterly unfounded, malicious attacks upon the administration, and the most low and grovelling abuse of Governor Whitcomb for the appointment of our ne t and talented Supreme Judge, Mr. Teikins, but without adducing au iuU of pioof tu sustain his attack. State matters were mostly thrown overt-oaid to make room fur national ones. Of these he touched upon all except his beloved bautling, the unconstitutional Whig Bankiupt Law which he strove so haid to retain in force by voting in out State Legislature agiinst instructing our Congressmen to go for its repeal! Neither in speaking of Slate alLiis, did he advert to one of the gieatest and most philanthropic movements of the age, the abolition of imprisonment for debt, which he so sturdily opposed when in the State Legislature. Asa lawyer, pei baps he bad no tight to sympathise with the poor debtor ! It is a singular circumstance, that during the whole of his speech, he addressed himself exclusively to demociats appearing to admit that he could not be elected, unless he could obtain a large number of democratic votes. We have not the space or the time at present to review the whole of the gentleman's effort, but we have taken ! notes which we f hall hereafter use. We will t ximine his j course upon our Mexican alFuirs, ptcmising that it was simi lar to nts course upon oiner topics. Those who heard Mr. Marshall will recollect with what zest he emulated tho example of Xantirpe of oil, pouiinjj his filth v urn unon the heads of the administration, rliariii" i - - - . r r it urilh iAucincr th viilinp war to what enntpmntihte sulttcrfuges he resoited to throw odium upon it, and to what pitiful demagogucism he stooped in his attempt to bring it down to his own level. His icmaiks were the embodiment of all that is belittlcing and disgusting in paity spirit. Kven the official correspondence between the two countiies was misrepresented to place our own government in the wrong, for the vile purpose of making political capital. It was a Mexican speech Mexico always light t the United States ever in the wrong. Mr. Marshall went further He stated roundly and without any qualification whatever, that the administration coolly and deliberately brought on war for mere party purposes! that it was not its policy or desire to speedily close it. A moie base or infamous falsehood than this was never coined. The Whig Biiney forgery and Ogle's 'omnibus of lies' are fools to it. It is of a piece with the deolaiation of the central organ of whiggery at Washington, (which finds but two papers in this State so reckless and lost to shame as to endorse it tbe Journal and the lesser light of the Register) that the Executive, in sending our army to the Rio Grande, had " sent the souls of some of our fellow citizens, kinsmen and brethren to the valley of the shadow of death." Now mark how pl-iin a talc shall put this bare faced falsehood down. In bis Message, the Executive uses the I following unequivocal language! " I deem it ptoper to declare that if u my anxious desire I not only to teiminate hostilities speedily, but to bring all I matters in dispute between this government and Mexico ta , an early and amicable adjustment ; and in this view, I shall be prepared to renew negotiations whenever Mexico will rej eeive propositions or shall be ready to make propositions of I her own. I We ask the Whigs of Indiana if they can consent to give the seal and sanction of their authority, by their vote, to j this rotten demagoguei;ra of their candidate ? Is rot the I mn whii wiTI tcj.nt ti silrh tnan Ii f f r 1 17 11 n wo itli . t t thiir votes i ITlr. 31arsli:ill and (lie State Debt Dill It will be remembered by our readers, that the " Sleeping Lion as Barnett called Mr. Marshall, when asked during his speech at Indianapolis, togivo his opinion upon tho bill for the adjustment of the St a to Debt, stated that he had not read it, and therefore had formed no decided opinion as to its merits or demerits. It appears now, by a northern paper that Mr. Marshall has given the bill a hasty perusal. He certainly deserves some credit for that, Hut it seems he has not yet had time to form a conclusive opinion about it. The Laportc " Tocsin" says w Marshall has spoken here ; and. it seems read the hill somewhere between Iudianapoiis and tlii place. His rcmaiks upon it were in tbe very worst style of non-committalism, tie says if the Bondholders accept its provisions, tt will "as a contract to which the State would be a parly be binding, ar.d if elected he would sign it" But as to Riving an opinion upon the bill, he did out consider himself called upon to do so. Up in Laporte he presumed the people were in favor of the provisions of the bill ; but if he avowed himself in favor of it here, it would be u?cd agiitift him in southern portions of the State ; if he went against it there, it would be used against him here. So on tbe whole, as bis opinion cd the matter were to be wholly controleJ by the numle; of voles he could get, and as he coulJ not determine whether to be " pijr or pup," he concluded to give do opinion upon its merits! Was ever such ditardly non-committalism before beard of? Josrrn G. Marshall, the "sleeping Lion" is afraid tJ avow his opinions lacking the moral courage to do so. The people have a riht to know and demand his opinion upon this hill. If he cannot confide to the people his opinions upon a vital questiou of State policy, they certainly caunut have confidence enough its him to give him their vo'ea. They despise the man who will make " no futtber declaration for ihe public eye." Mr. Marshall slated that the Bondholders were to advance but $130,000. He didn't icaj straight, and bad better read again. A pretty man for Governor, truly !'. Pemochatic No.minatioxs. The. Democratic nominations for CongrcFS in the several districts in Illinois, have all been made, except in the second district, and are as foil wi: In the First district, Ljman Trumbull; in the Third, Orlando ß.

J. G. R. That bad pen, O Poet, is no excuse for your almost intolerable chirography. We shall have to score you en this latter point, some time, unless you tako a little more pains, and you know we don't wish to do so. Now try, for it will save us a world of trouble. (Ky-The sword voted to Gen. Taylor by the Legis lature of Louisiana, was presented by a committee of ircntlcincii from New Orleans. The following is (Jen. Taylor's reply to their address : " My heart feels too deeply and sensibly the high honor that has been conferred upon me, iny officers and men by the State of Louisiana, to respond at large to your feelings of gratitude and thanks. J always felt assured that the patriotic State of Louisi ana would be among the foremost to rmh to the aesiat ancc of my little army in time of need. I knew, and so did my ollicers and men, that fehc was a brave, a noble, and high-minded State that chivalry, ardent patriotism and noble daring were her high attributes her volunteers have quickly come by thousands to our relief, and cheerfully abandoned their homes and business to aid ub. We foci a deep debt of gratitude to them and to your State. The kind and generous action of the Legislature of Louisiana will never be forgotten it i cmbed-lcd in our hearts ; as loirj as lifo endures, the name of Louisiana will bo foi.dly cherished by each one of us. Wc feel that we have only done our duty, but the highly appreciated approbation of Louisiana will cheer nud animate us in firmly .sustaining the honor and glory of our beloved flag. In the name of my officers and men I thank you and the brave State that has sent you." A Soldier Pkeaciiek. The correspondent of the Delta, writing from Malamoras, says : Yesterday, a Captain from your neighborhood preached to a tiortion of the Army. The soul-stirring eloquence of a eoldicr, proclaiming the great truths of the Gospel, and inculcating the soldierly virtues of subordination and obedience, almost persuaded us that the days of the Roundhead had returned, when prayers were a part of the tactics on the field of battle. Nothing can exceed the elevated patriotism of this worthy man. lie says he heard that an American army was in distress, surrounded by enemies on our own soil. Two sleeples-t nights attested his anxiety. He arose with the conviction that preacher though he was, the time for fighting had come ; that his duty as a pood citizen and true Christian called him to the field. Within forty-ciht hours he was on his way to the Rio Grande, with a command who will yet do important service in the present war. How noble, how patriotic is this conduct, compared with that of many preachers of the Word who busy themselves in denouncing a participation in any war as sinful and unholy." Another IIooeier Heroine. The following is from a New Orleans paper: " During the bombardment of Fort Brown, there was a wotpan in the fort, the wife of one of the privates, who regularly and attentively, the whole time, plied the men at the guns with coffee and other refreshments, while they plied the Mexicans with shot. She gave Uncle Sam's boys gunpowder (tea) while they helped the Mexicans to some gtape. Where the shot flew thickest, there was she; and she frequently lit a soldier's segar from an exploded shell. She is a larpe athletic woman, having a frame well proportioned to her big, generous heart. She is now the favorite of the whole army, and being a native of Indiana, the soubriquet every where attaches to her of the "Great Western." At the dinner given to the delegation from the State Legislature, the Great Western was toasted with all the honors, although exposure to the eun has made her already brown. Ojr The editor of the Mo'jile Register 6ays Gen. Desha informs him that in an interview he had with General Taylor and the officers of the army, at Matamoras, they spoke in terms of unbounded panegyric of the Tampico regiment of the Mexican army. "Lieut. Cain, of Thornton's squadron, was in Matamoras when the entire army inarched to attack Gen. Taylor, and he described that regiment as a throughly drilled and well appointed force. But fifteen of the Tampico .regiment survived both battles unhurt.! Hundreds cf them arc languishing in the hospitals at Mata moras." - Naval. A new sloop of war, the Albany, was re cently launched at Brooklyn-, Y. Great activity prevails in all the other IVavy Yards. The Journal of Commerce of the 27th has the following: 41 The announcement (which appears to be authen tic) that three ships of the line have been ordered to be got in readiness fur active service, viz. the Pennsylvania, 120, at Norfolk, the North Carolina at this port, and the Ohio at Boston, naturally suggests the idea that a heavy bombardment is contemplated, and there is only one fortress on the Mexican coast where such a force, in addition to several large frigates now in the G ulf, could be required. By the accounts which' we publish to-day, via Bermuda, it appears that the whole Mexican force now at Vera Cruz, both in the Castle and town, is about 2,200. California. Lettrr writers from Washington say there is no disposition at that place to conclude a treaty of amity with Mexico, without the acquisition of California. England and France would, necessarily, desire to shut us out from the possession of San Francisco, the most desirable position on the Pacific ; but this very indication is the strongest reason why it should be pressed with more zeal on our part. Should the war continue against Mexico, it must inevitably fill to our lot by the right of conquest, recognized by civilized nations. - " vPresident Tolk and General Scott. Iu one of his letters to Mr. Marcy, Gen. Scott alludes In the following manner to his interviews with President Tolk : " You speak of my interviews with the Trcbident on the subjevt of the intended formidable invasion of Mexico. I wish I had the time to do justice to my recollection of the President's excellent 6cnsc, military comprehension, patience and courtesies in these interviews. I have 6ince often spoken of the admirable qualities he displayed on those occasions with honor, as far as it was in my power to do bira honor." (rMr. Webster made another speech against the Mexican war, on the 21th. Wc do not see why he takes the trouble of making new ones. Why docs he not revive some of his old speeches agaiust the last war with Great Britain, wheu he invariably voted against supplies for our suffering army! 07-The editor of the Whig organ in Detroit refused to publish a call for a war meeting.

New Stages. The new mail arrangements which

Co. also! arrives now in the morning, and within the time. They also, as uual with the great stage monopolies, run an opposition to the Messrs Ross's regular hue on the western route. They will find it not an easy job J to run off the latter, as they arc old singers, and perfectly understand their business. No racing is allowed by them. Oa the whole, the great number ol i-tagcs now passing and repassing by day, mttcad of night, as hcrcbifore, atid addi considerable bustle to our streets. Moite Quackekt.

The manly fortitude, that sustained him through tbedifn cullies of hia situation, did not forsake him in the last sad extremity ; in calm a If-posscssion be breathed hie last. In his anxiety for the furtherance of the cause, in which he had embarked, he seemed to haTe forgot tho frailtiee oi the body taxed beyond endurance, and it was only at the pressing and repeated entreaties of his friends, that he at last reluctantly, abandoned his post a few months past a sacrifice to the principles it was hia glory to adTocate.

Jlio Bravo! Rio Era to! Saw rxvrn ever inch a sijhf, Sinee the field of Konccsvslle

Scaled the Ute cf many a koighl? Datk is Palo Alto's story. Sad llesaiea Talma's Route, On those fatal fields so gory. Many a gallant life -went out. Tbrte our best and bravest lances, Shivered 'gaiust the Northern steel. Lf ft the valiant hearts that couched them, 'N'eath the Northern cbatget's heel. Rio Bravo ! Rio Dravo ! Minstiel ne'er knew such a fight, Since the field of Roncesvalles Sealed the fate of many a knight ! Rio Bravo, fatal river. Saw ye not while red with gore, Torirj .n a!l headiest quiver, A ghastly trunk upon thy shore i He aid ye not the wounded coursers Shiiek upon your trampled banks, As the Northern wing'd aitillery Thundeied on our shattered ranks f There Arista, best and bravest. There Raguena, tried and true. On the fatal field thou layest, Nobly did all men could do. Vainly there those heroes rally, Castile oa Montezuma's shore, Rio Bravo " Roncesvalles," Ye are the name blent evermore. Werpest thou loin lady Inez, For thy lover 'mid the slain, Brave La Vrga's trenchant falchion Cleft his slayer to the biain. Brave La Vega, who all lonely, By a host of foes beset, Yielded up his sabre only When his equal there he met. Other champions not leu noted, Sleep Icrjeath that sullen waves Rio Bravo thou hast floated An army to an ocean grave. On they came, those Northern horsemen On like eagles towatd tbe sua, Followed then the Northern bayonet, Aod the field was lost and won. 0 ! for Orlando's horn to rally His Palladins on that cad shore - Hio Braro " - Rohces Talks," Ye are names blent evermore. American Provisions. -The Whig papers are publishing articles to show how vain it is for lite agriculturists of this country to expect a market for their produce in Great Britain, even under a system of free trade; but commerce has a 6trange trick of disregarding the abstractions of politics. While tho politician is demonsratin; that Wheat, Indian corn, &c., cannot be exported, the merchant goes on exporting them right under his nose. The Literpool Albion is astonished at the continual arrivals of llour, and various descriptions of provisions at Liverpool from the United States. Jt notices the arrival in two days of fourteen ships, from New York, Baltimore and New Orleans, the aggregates of the principal articles of their cargoes being as follows : Flour, 21,417 barrels. Wheat, 3,000 bushcld. Indian Corn, 15,000 " Hams, 137 packages. 1 Ja con, J1 Tork, 591 Eeef, 2,000 Lard, Clover Sjed, Oil Seed Cake, 4,370 IUI 1,079 100 4t SS SS l'read,. Tongues, Totatocs, 10 hampers. This list, says the Albion, does not compriso a tithe of tho articles imported, but it is sufficient to give some idea of the amount of the trade. Cincinnati Herald. National Honor. The Indiana Journal has dato and pencil in hand, and is counting the dollars and cents of the Mexican war. Will it bo good enough to inform the public at what prices, 6uch articles cf barter and profit, as national faith, national honor, and national right, are to be quoted in the price current cf American staples, and at what they 6hall henceforth be retailed, by ounces, drams, scruples and other quunti;ics !
