The Game of the Whigs. ! Mexico. What shall we do with Mexieo! ia a Hie whigs are slowly unmaskinj t!io battery which question frequently propounded in the newspapers, tlicy are about to bring into the next Presidential j and as frequently left unanswered. The next intellicampaign. They will, as far as possible, evade the pence from that country will probably answer it, 60 great issues which divide the two parties; most of , far as to show what ought to be done with it to put thein will even evade the Wilmot .Proviso, as btün an end to active warfare whether the Mexicans are calculated to divide their own party in the south and ; willing to make peace, or whether they will steadily west. They will make battle principally upon the refuse to cume to terms, and compel the United States lion annexation of territory to the Union. This doc- ; to the conquest of the whole country. Some of the trine has been broached by the whigs in the south, j objections urged by some of the newspapers against and the cry is kept tip by some of the leaders and i our conquest and permanent occupation of the coiiupresses in the west and the nortn. We liave already jtry are curious, whatever we may say of their suflifhown that the C'inciiunti Atlas and the Ohio State j cicncy.

I. declare " Ifutt the trar shall ,int he nrnser-i-le.' f,r the dismemberment and rnnyuext of Mexico ;" an-, thus they contend "the war will be speedily and hoi), rally terminated." The Auburn (N. V.) Advertiser (whig) reviews the course of the whigs, and takes the same positions, as follows: The whig party seem quite willing to surrender up to the locolocos the exclusive use and control of the Wilmot Proviso hubby, ai.! adopt iu its stead no more territory, free o.alave. Thi i-itiiing at the loot of the matlerj and we have little doubt that the geat mans of even southern whig will be fjuud ciwperiting with the whigs of the noith, hcait and hand, in f. vor ..f such a policy. John M.Botts.of irginia, Ijhj already declared pimself in faror ..f it. Should the win party avsuive upon suth a coui.se, the exciting sod dangeiouf question of what new territory hall be free and what lave, will be effectually avoided; and northern locolcos who hate no suddenly become convinced of ibe wickedness of their fanner course ia repaid U this matter will be left without a hobby to lide. They have now no other capital iu hade than this gieat humbug; and, if deprived of that, liiey aie poor indeed. It is Hie only true giound f.r one iaity to asume, and we hope to tee every uue w hi in tin- Union acting opou it. Hut a new political voice is heard this day from the coluim.s of thj National Intelligencer. That paper seems carefully it have n voided hitherto the most c'eh.-.ite and agitating subject of the Wihn .J Proviso. It hi d tin' siigicity to see that it was a two-edged sword, which might a sist the Wfsijr p rty in the north, but would cut it to pieces in the south. Accordingly it held oil. anJ now takes the trior" plausible position of iion-cnnquest ami noti-annc.aiion. In publishing a communication iu this morning's paper, it gives the cue to its followers, by throwing out the following oracilar rev el.it ion : "Considering that there are principle involved ia the Mexican war vastly more impoitantlhan ihe question whether the existing s lave population of the United Slate ought to be confined within tins or that dr giee of latitude, we have never introduced to our rt-a.tei the question of the Wilmot Proviso (no called) a one of any present consequence in the discussion of the merits of that war. It will be time enough to deal with tint question when thete is toy ground within the limit of the United State for it to stand upon. TAere are moie important quest funs first to be adjusted. "It is Lee use the wiiter of the subjoined article -utxtan-tiiljy foncun in this opinion of ours, that we admit the subject of the Wilmot Proviso" into our column, at the time present, on any other ground than it bavin entered into the debates and proceedings of Ihe last Congress, a; J o leported for this paper. The writer of the following letter i a gentleman i)f great poliUcal sagacity and experience in public ajfaiis, and withal a truly patriotic whig statesman." Thus the N itional Intelligencer indirectly endorses the üdvice of tins i:nst sagacious and experienced politician. An.l what is this advice! And upon what grounds i it given J 1st. Do not touch the Wi'imd Proviso; and here l.e puts.his best foot forpmost. by giving the followinj politic reasons for his advice : ' I icgret extiemely the couisc taken by some of the mo-t iepectable whijf papeis at the noith, in making the Wilmot P ovist the test question at Ihe next Piesidentia election. ij tnejr nut see mat il ihr issue be made by the north, it must of necessity be made by the south ? Are they not already authoritatively advised that it is the tisue now mot j ufsifa oy our rppoiiem 01 ine soulli ! t reler them to Mr. Calhoun" Inter of the 27th June last. He looks to this issue, and jistly, as one that will absoib all otber political contentions js one lhat will unite the people of the claveboldiug States as one man. And such, most unquestionably, will be the f tlVct. With this issue thcie will be neither whiij nir tnry theie. Such, however, will not be its effect at the north. Though both the parlies should adopt the if -, yt it will not öVct their union. Its effect oil the election I will notice in a subsequent paragtaph." And accordingly the writer returns lo this jxjiilic ground as the one he has most at heart. This brings him to the secrnd pjinf, which he urges as the strong isdue on which the whigs arc to fight the Presidential campaign of 1313. The whole scheme, indeed, is so curious in itself, and is put fort'i under such auspices in the National Intelligencer, as being a paper having "the most extensive circulation, and with the hone that it will he copied into the leading whig papers throughout the Cnion" (thus giving all of them the cue) that wc lay the whole pel: :me before our readers : u I repeat, then, tint the Wilmot Pioviso is of no practical value in preventing the extension of slavery. I g.r further. It is not only useless, but vicious, as it takes the place of an issue both elTective alii expedient of an iue that will per se pievent the extension nf slavery, and on which the Whigs iu every State in the Union may unite, and on which, if pie sented as the giaiul is9ue, thev will unite. No Mexican Teh ritjbt ! Let this be Ihe isne. Let this be the motto inscribed on the whig banner, and victory is certain. 1 now state what I deem will be the ceitain f suits of the next PiesiJecti.il election under the two i-su-s. The whole number of electoial vote will be 2!f0 necessary for a choke, 1 4C. Under the Wilmot Piovio issue, the noithern whi candidate will be very certain not to have a single vo'e fiom a slaveholdm: State, and to jjet only 91 votes from other States, and the bco candidate 7 , while the southern candidate will nblain 121 the entiie rote of the slavelulding .Mates. The election will then devolve on the House of Representatives, voting by Slates. Of the 30 States, the southern candidate will surt with 10. the whi with 7, and Ihe loco wi'h S Mates, (or 7 and one Stale divided.) lo this probable state of thing, the election of the outliern candidate is certain. Under the no-MexU aa-territury i.ssur, the whig candidate, judin fiom the last State electi on, would have 154 against 136, (prohably 173 lo 117.) If such be the piobahle result, will the wbis hesitate which isue to adopt ? Let us, then, abandon that shadow of at issue, the Wilmot Pioviso, and take the substantial the effective issue of No Mexican Territory.'' "In the meantime, is it wise to precipitate nominations of candidates for the PieiJeicy Will it not be best Id ju bruit Ihe nomination to an unpledged Convention o:i the 4th of July, 134S?" let the issue Iben, be (gays this most sagacious and cunning politician) "No Mexican Terkitokv." And why mot this be the issue ? Is it because we have no claims to settle for our countrymen, which, because Mexico cannot pay iu money, we mu-i inue out in lano ; u, no! mat is not the reason. What then ! Uecause this issue is to elect a whig President ! Is it because this war for the assertion of our rights has cost us no money, and we are entitled to no com pensation ! 0, no! lhat is not Ihe reason; but lie cause it is to assist in making a wing 1 resident, in 'enabling their ambitious leaders to mount into power, and their rreedy office hunters to obtain a share of the loa t es and fishes.

Such are the prinjr of action recommuiided by the National Intelligencer, the org'an of the whifT'?, and by this most agaciou' x!itician who urges it opn the party ! . Well, let them take this issue if they please. We meet them up-" it boldly and cheerfully. We contend that we outriit to have indemnity for the past and security fur the future;" that we are entitled to it; and that the west, and the south, and a large portion of the north, penetrated with a deep sense of our true interest, will demand it. We contend that such interests re not to be sacrificed to gratify the puny party purposes of the whig". Hut we contend, moreover, that they have now fallen upon one of the weakest and least popular topics for the promotion of those a i I purposes. The people win aojure meir measure, anu still more despise the selfish motive which prompts them to adopt it as their electioneering cry. Union. G-The N. V.

our institutions must certainly bo a universal genius, for it has been referred to in support of every imaginable proposition. Those who refer to this genius in Mexican affairs, tell us that the constitution contains no provision fur conquered territory, and therefore that our annexation of such territory would be unconstitutional. .All this is very profound! And doubtless it is consistent with e genius of our institutions ! In the war of the Federal Government pro

jected the conquest of the IJntish Provinces, and would have achieved it, had the short-sighted majority of New England been true to the country instead of faction. Hot while that war was opposed by the sam ßcho-.il who now oppose the Mexican war, not one of them opposed this project of conquest as unconstitutional. The war was "wicked," "waged against our allies' "against the bulwark of our religion ;" and ' the administration could not conquer the Canada," "for the P.ritish would beat Madison's armies, and very deservedly." ihit no malcontei.t considered the conquest as unconstitutional. This objection is of modern date, and like the schoolboy's excuse for smoking cigars, the cure of his chilblains ; " all the good excuses are taken up by the other boys." But as conquest is an inherent, incidental right of nationality, we may well search the constitution in vain for any authority on the subject. The constitution does not enumerate our intional rights; fur this process would have deprived us call not enumerated. The constitution prescribes the conditions on which the States unite willi each other as a nation, and leaves all the rights incident to nationality to the laws of nations. The constitution is a compact among the States, and not between the United States- and other nations. If then conquest be a national rijlit, as we hnve dreamed, and as all civilians have said, we know nothing in our constitution to forbid our acquisition of territory by conquest, more than by purchase or treaty. " lint how can ivc govern conquered territory V The constitution authorizes Congress to make all needful rules and regulation for the government of territory belonging to -the Lniou; and as Congress arc judges of the vetd, and the mode of acquiring the territory is not ppeifu-d. which absence of ßjecif.c action admits all modes. Congress vtJ have no difficulty upon the subject. If then Congress establish a territorial government in New Mexico, and the natives rebel avainet it, what most be done ? Precisely what ' must be done in a similtr case in Wisconsin, Nebras- j ka, or Missouri Territory. The laws of the Union must be enforced there; by military power, if the civil be not strong enough. Pa. IsJier. The Mvsteries ok New York. A New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer has the following pasafe in a recent letter : If an Eugene Sue were amon us to write the mysteries of New York, he mizht with little difficulty or labor produce a worlc that might vie wvb the Mysteries of Paiis, in all their honor and enormity. A few years since the beautiful Maty Rogers was mutdered a few year since a man named Corlies was shot djwn in the open daylight in one of our thoroughfares more recently a lovely woman was found dead in her bed in Chambers stieet, under circumstances of the most .auspicious kind as to how she came to her death the other day a charming girl was found in the dock under similar circumstance two human skeletons were discovered a few days since by sme woikmen engaged in building a house, about eighteen inches under the sin face of the ground and on Friday last some workmen at the foot of 31st street, discovered a laigo sack floating in the Ka3l river. which on opening they discovered cuotained the body of a ' man with the thront cut from ear to ear.

It says : Yesterday, about noon, three women poorly dresed,one of them shoe les, and two or three liltle children with them, pa$ed up Fiftieth street, from the Third avenue toward Ihe burial ground. Une of them held with her hand a plain pine coffin on the crown of her head, and the unhappy creature wept as thoo i her heart would break. It was the comn of her own infant boy or girl, perhaps 6 or 8 years old, and neither man nor boy, cart nor wagon, was near to aid her. One afternoon last week, a two wheeled store cart passed up towards the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, with a grown person s coffin in it no pall, no attendant, only the corpse, shell and carter.

" The death of Sir Walter Scott, son of the great Sir Walter, vvhjeli took place at the Cape of Good Hope in the month of February list, leaves a solemn and slrikinjr moral behind it. Tiie deceased haronet was the last of a family which ct one precious life to ereate, and for whose perpetuation its founder would have accounted no purchase too deur, and reckoned no sacrifice too costly. It wai not sullicient for the head of that house, who.se last member has so recently quitted the earth, that he stood foremost in tlie ranks of celebrated men during life that he secured immortality u;mmi hi departure. Feyond the prodigal gifts of Heaven he esteemed the facticiotis privileges of earth, and treated lightly an imperishable wealth for the sake of dross as poor as it was passing. The memoirs of the first Sir Walter albeit penned by no unloving hand, leave painful impresf ion upon tha minds of all who have made f.r themselves the character of the great magician, as far as it wan possible fr;m his undying works. If the history teaches anything at all, it is one of the saddest lessons that can be brought home to humanity that of gigantic po wers ill-ued, of insatiable, though petty ambition, d'-rided and destroyed. The vocation of Sir Walter Scott was to enlighten and instruct mankind; he believed it was to found a family and to become a great landed proprietor. To achieve the ignoble mission, tlie poet and the novelist embarked the genius of a Sdakspeare, and the result is now before in. The family is extinct, the lauded proprietor was a bankrupt i: Lis prime. Vh lhat has read the life of Sir Walter but has wept at his misfortunes, and marvelled at the sacrifices heaped upon sacrifice", freely made, in furtherance of a low and earthly seeking. Heaven pointed one way, human frailty another. '& mighty amidst ihe great," said the former; "ue high amongst the small, ' whis pered the latter. He obeyed the utter, mid, lo! the consequence.

The Mobile Herald states thnt Riley, the commander of the battalion of deserters from the American army, who were taken in the recent battles in Mexico, and executed, was not an Irishman, but rn Englishman. Of course, he was a whig. Harrison Kieney, of Columbus, Ohio, was another of the deserters. The Ohio Statesman says of him This Kinney was a tailor by trade in this city, and it is a melancholy record to make of his end. He was a very decided whig, and we cannot see what tempted him to this great crime of deserting his country, except the etfect produced by the whig papers and such speeches as those ot Corwin, lie lias a child in this city, his wife being dead..

The following article, which we copy from the American Farmer, giving a description of the seiernl varieties of cotton, may be interesting to many of our readers : 'Georgia Sa Island cotton is of a dull butter tint, the filament beingr some three times longer than that of the Indian cotton wool. The fibres are cylindrico spiral, and hence the ease with which they are spun into cotton thread. tieorgia Upland cotton is good for coarse yarns. The staple is short, light and feeble. It was called for a long time 'Bowed cotton,' from the fact that it was separated from the seed by the blowa of a bow siring.

Pernainbuco cotton has a fine, long staple, clean and uniform, and yarns made from it are in great request among the stocking weavers. Demarara, Bernice and Maranham cottons are fine and glossy, and well cleaned. They are spun into a fair ftout yarn. Bahia cotton is better than either of the two kinds lat named. . Surinam cotton ha a long staple, and is faintly tinned with yellow. It i9 clean, and much sought af ter by hosiers. West India cotton is from Bourbon seed; the staple 13 fine and silky, but not well prepared. Barbadoes cotton has a short staple, but is silky and strong. It appears in the market with much husk."

This mutt appear almo incredible, but the numerous letters from phyMcinns. agenu, and those ho use the medicine, from all the western and southern State , satisfy us that this is a msUr( estimate, and lhat onr medicine is rapidly taking the pktce of the various ugar-roated counterfeits w hu h are k float, and the numerous tonic mixtures, made wholly of quinine, which are imposed UMn the public l.y manufacturers who lire, nobody knaws vhers!

The Tonie pills are teculiarly adapted to the quick and permanent core of Fever and a sue, torpor ol the L:ver, and general debility. It is in ever and Ai;iio, Chill Fever, tec, that they achieve their greatest triumphs. It rarely requires over twelve hours; or more than half box of the tonic pills, to break the chills and t-rtcct a permanent eure winch is rarely the case with the tonic mixtures of quinine, haw k -ed about the country by ignoraut pretenders. Those who take the tonic pills will never forsake them. H ho ran wonder, then, that a medicine of such extensive popuarity, and evtrsor.linary virtues should cause ureal ercitetnent among the Doctors ! The prejudices of idivsicians against their use are at last giving w ay to the play ol reason, and ihe convictions of every -day experience which they derive from their patients and friends who use them.
