oar naiue and national character a similar. if not worse, stigma. I am afraid that we do not now stand «elt in the opinion of other parts of' Christendom. ffcpudia lion haa brought a poo ua much reproach.

All the nations. I^pprehood. look upon us. in (ba prosecution of th# present war as actuated by a spirit of rapacity,aad an inordinate deatM for territorial aggrand* izement. Let ua not forfeit altogether their good opinions. Let us command their applause by a noble exercise of for bearanee and justice. In the elevated station which we hold, we can safely af ford to practice the Godlike virtues of moderation and magnanimity.

The long series of glorious triumphs, a chieved by our gallant commanders and their brave armies, unattended by a ain gle reverse, justify us, without the least danger of tarnishing the national hooor, in disinterestedly holding out the olive branch of peace. We do not wsut the mines, the mountains, the morasses, and the sterile lands of Mexico. To ber the lose of thsm would be humiliating, and be A perpetual source of regret and mortifica* tion. To os they might prove a fatal acquisition, producing distraction, dissension, division, probably disunion. Let, therefore, the integrity of the national existence and national territory of Mexico remain undisturbed.

For one, I desire to see no part of her territory torn from her by war. Some of our people have placed their hearts upon the acquisition of the Bay of San Francisco, in Upper California. To us, as a great maritime power, tt might prove to be of advantage hereafter, in respect to our commercial and navigating interests. To Mexico, which can never be a great maratiene power, it can never be of much advantage. If we can obtain it by fair purchase, with a just equivalent, I should be happy to see it so acquired. As. whenever, the war ceases, Mexico ought to be required to pay the debt due our citizens, perhaps an equivalent for that Bay may be fouad in that debt, our Government assuming to pay to our citizens whatever portion of it may be applied to that object. But it should form no motive in the prosecution of the war, which I would not continue a solitary hour for the sake of that harbor.

But what it will be asked, shall we make peace without any indemnity for the expenses of the war? If the published documents in relation to the late negoti*tions between Mr. Trist and the Mexican Commissioners be true, and I have not anywhere seen them contradicted, the Executive properly waived any demand of indemnity for the expenses of the war. And the rupture of that negotiation was produced by our Government insisting upon a cession from Mexico, of the atrip of mostly barren land between the Nueces and the Rio Bravo, and New Mexico, which Mexico refused to mnke. So that we are now fighting, if not lor the conquest of all Mexico, as intimated in some quarters, for that narrow strip, and for the barren province of New Mextco. with its few miserable mines. We bought all the province of J^ouisiana fur fifteen millions of doliara, and it in, in my opinion, worth all Mexico together. We bough) Florida for five millions of dollars, and hard bargain it was. since, besides thai sum, we gave up the boundary of the Rio Bravo, to which I think we were entitled ns the western limit of the province of Louisiana, and were restricted to that of the Sabine. And we ar» now, if not seeking the conquest of all Mexico, to continue this war indefinitely for the inconsider able objects to which I have just referred.

But, it will bo repeated, are we to have no indemnity for the expanses of the w«r? Mexico is utterly unable to make us any pecuniary indemnity, if the justness of the war on our part entitled us to demand it. Her country has been laid waste, her cities burned or occupied by our troops, her means so exhausted that she is unable to pay even her own armies. And every day's prosecution of tho war, while it would augment the amount of the indemnity, would lessen the ability of Mexicn to pay it. We have seen, however, that there is another form in which we are to demand indemnity I: is to he territorial indemnity I hope, for reasons already stated, that that fire brand will not be brought into our country!

Among the resolutions, which it is mi intention to present for your consideration, at the conclusion of

affixing to

thia addrrs*, one pro

poses, in your behalf and mine to disavow, in the most positive manner, any desire, on our part, to acquire any foreign territory whatever, for the purpose of intrnducing slavery into it. I do not know that any citizen of the United State* entertains auch a wish. But such a motive has of ten been imputed to the slave States, and

1 therrfore think necessary to notice It] I*nd moat earnest exertions on this occasion. Mjf opinions on the subject of slavery are well known. They have the merit, if it be one, of conaiatency, uniformity, and long duration. I have ever regarded alivery as a greal evil, a wrong, for the present, I fear, an irreme

immediate abolition of slavery for which1 the party of the Abolitionists of the pree em day conteod. "Whether they have in tended it or not, it is my calm and doltbo-

mischief even to the «a«t«a w)fieh tbey have espoused to any noth ing of the discord which has been pro4u

between different parts of the Union According to the system, we attempted near the close of the last century, all sh vrs in being were to remain such, but all who might be born subsequent to a apeoi fied day. were to become tree at the age of twenty*eigbt and during their service were to he taught to read, write and cy pher. Thus, instead of being thrown poo the community, ignorant snd unprepared, aa would be the case by immediate emancipation, they would hive entered upon the possession of their freedom ea pable, in some degree, of enjoying After a hard struggle, the system was de feated, and I regret i» extremely, as, if it had been then adopted, our State would now be nearly rid uf that reproach,

Since that epoch, a scheme of unmixed beoevolenee has sprung up, which, if it had cxiated at that time, would haveobvi ated ooe of the greatest objections which was made to gradual emancipation, whioh was the continuance of the emancipated slaves to abide among us. That scheme is the American Colonization Society. About twantv-night years ago, a few individuals, my»©lf among them, met togeth er in the city of Washington, and laid the foundation of that Society. It has gone on, amidst extraordinary difficulties ant trials, sustaining itself almost entirely by spontaneous ana voluntary contribotions, from individual benevolence, without scar cely any aid from government. The Col* ontes, planted under its auspices, are now well established communities, with churches, schools, and other institutions apper* taining to the civilized state. They have made successful war in repelling attacks and invasions by their barbarous and sav* age neighbors. They have made treaties, annexed territories to their dominion, and are blessed with a free representative Government. I recently read a message, from ooe of their Governors to their Legislature, which, in point of composition, and in careful attention to the affairs of their republic, would compare advantageously with the messages of the Governors of our own States. 1 am not very super* stitious, but 1 do solemnly believe that these Colonies are blessed with the smiles of Providence and, if we may dare attempt penetrating the veil by which He conceals his all-wise dispensations from mortal eyes, that he designs that Africa shall be the refuge and the home of the descendants of its sons and daughters, torn and dragged from their native land by lawless violence.

It is a philanthropic and consoling re flection that the moral and physical con dition of the African race in the United States, even in a state of slavery, is far better than it would have been if their ancestors had never been brought from their native land. And if it should be the de* creo of the Great Ruler of the Universe that their descendants shall be made instruments in his hands in the establishment of Civilization and the Christian Religion throughout Africa, our regrets, on account of the original wrong, will be greatly mitigated.

It may be argued that, in admiting the injustice of slavery, I admit the necessity of an instantaneous reparation of that injustice. Unfortunately, however, it not always safe, practicable or possible, in th* the great movement of States and public affairs of nations, to remedy or repair the infliction of previous in uaiice. In the inception of it, wemtty oppose and denounce it, by our most strenuous exertions, but after its consummation, there is often no other alternative left us but to deplore its perpetration, and to arquiesce as the only alternative, in its existence, as a less evil than the frightful consequences which might ensue from the vnin endeavor to re* pair it. S'avery one of those unfortunate instances. The evil of it was inflicted upon us, by the parent country of Great Britain, against all the entreaties and remonstrances of the colonies. And here it is amongst and amidst us, and we must dispose of it, as best we can under all the circumstances which surround us.

It continued by the importation of slaves from Africa, in spite of Colonial resistance, for a period of more than a ceutury and a half, and it mny require an equal or longer lapse of time before our country is entirely rid of the evil.

And in the meantime, moderation, prudence and discretion among ourselves, snd the blessings of Providence may be all necessary to accomplish our ultimate deliverance from it. Examples of similar inflic:ion of irreparable national evil and injustice might be multiplied to an indefinite extent. The case of the annexation of Texas to the United States is a recent snd an obvious one where, if it were wrong, it cannot now be repaired. Texas is now an integral part of our Union,

The foU Crawtordsville, Mondays and^ Fridays, lowing remarka from the St. Louis Rev* eille are worthy of consideration "We understand that the method of preparing hemp lor cordage, without pre* vinus rotting, has been pronounced by high authority to be a failure. The hemp thus prepared is subjected to many objec lions. In the first place it cannot be thor oughly freed from the 'shives,' or woody substance, which condition is necessary to its reception for naval purposes. Again it is found to contain the gluten of the rough material, and when wet undergoes the process of fermentation, which injures materially the texture of the cordage fur"'"jre made from i\. A specimen of thib hemp was shown us yesterday, which wascer tninly quite inferior to some prepared by the steam-rotting process.

GREAT RESTORATIVE REMEDY. Dll. EASTMAN'S

ELIXIR OF HEALTH. FIFTEEN

years' experience, together with the

testimony of thoussnds who have realised its

Ewer

over disease, has proven this medicine to the most valuable Vegetable Compound in the known world, for the cure of the following symptoms snd complaints, viz: Dyspepsia, liver affections, nervous diseases, sick head ache, bilious habits. Jaundice, bilious diarrhoea, losa of app^ tite, debility or weakness, pains and giddiness in the head, palpitation of the heart, pains in the side, stomach or shoulders, langour, shortness of breath, sodr stomach, water brash, or spitting of food nausea or sick stomach, oppresion from food, heart burn, melancholy, disturbed or unrefreshing sleep, unpleasant taste in the mouth, furred tongue, cmtiveness &c. For all of which tbe Elixir of Health, may be relied upon as a safe, certain and tpeedy cure.

As a preventive to disease, the Elixir of Health has not its equal in the world, and is especially recommended to persons residing in sickly localities. By its timely use you will find it a sure preventive to ague and fever, bilious fevers, and all other diseases peculiar to low, flat or marshy coontries. It has stood the test for fifteen years, and its increasing popularity and usefulness together with the concurring testimony of many eminent physicians, and other respectable citizens throughoat the whole country ought to be a sofficieut guarantee to every one afflicted with the foregoing complaints. Thousands of certificates might be given to prove that the Elixir of Health is a medicine of more than ordinary merit. The certificates of some of the most respectable phvsiciana of the country are given, deeming others unnecessary.

See that each wrapper has the written signature ot "H. EASTMAN" upon it, none other can be genuine.

THRTIIAI EMIGRATION AND LAND COMPANY having derived their Grant from tbe late ftspoblicof Tens, by contracts made wuh the President thereof, onder authority of the speeial seta of Congress, approved 4th February, 1M1 and 16th January, IMS, granting lands to Emigrants, will continoe to give WO acres of land lofarmlwa, ana 160 not*

over 17 years of ags, antil the latday oi July. 1848. conditioned, that the family ahall pay $90. end ths single man $10 for. the eorveying fees. A family, as defined in our contracts, most consist of— A man and hb wife, with or withoet children.''

A widtwer wiib two or awtt childno If mlw uooor wventtm jrotni of i|e, females

"^Tlido# with twoor more children if males ondar tf years of age, if femajes unmarried." Two single man over tbe ago of eeventsen years of age. each one being entitled to 160 acres." On his arrival in the Colony, the Emigrant should forthwith apply to tbe agent of the Company,Mr Henry O. Uedgeoxe, residing at Stewartsvilie in Denton coomy, who will at all times be ready to assist him ibe setseiion of his land, and enter the same on books k«t for that parpoes snd give him a certificate therefor which certificate will be evidence of his having aettled in the

^oSGranUim'In'ihe North-Eastern port of Texas, between the 3* and 34th degrees of Liritudr North and 19th and S8d detract of Longitude West from Washington beginning on tbe sooth side of Red River, at a point It nilea esst of the False Ooachitta, running thence doe South 100 milea, thence East 164 miles, thence North lOOmHes, ihence West 164 miles to the beginning, having a front on the meandering* of Red River of nearly 300 miles and inclodee within itsjimiie the epper and lower Cress Timbers, and tbs head waters of the Braaoa and Trinity Rivers, the Trinity being navigable for Steimbo«fs ol lifht draught^ from the interior of tbe Colony to* the Gulf of Mexico^ into which it empties, lome 25 miles from Galveston, and Red River io the MisstcsiDpi, aftrdinc an* outlet for the surplus productions of the country. This portion of Texas is peculiarly adapted* to the* •wthof Wheat, experience within the last two years having lea ted the fact, tbat if will prod see" bushels to the acre, weighing «o 70 pounds to the bushel. Indian corn, rye, barley, oats sweet.' and Iriah potatoes, pees, beam, melons, carden vegetables of all kinds, cotton, hemp and tobscoo and tbe celebrated moriteet grass which covers tSe prairies and upon which cattle subsist, and keep" fat during the wiater, «ad require only to be occaaionally aaited and kept together, to rear them ingreat numbers-

Tbe planting saaeoa commences in February and continues not if July bot ths early crops are* the most productive. Emigrants should go on in the fait or winter, ao asto be reedy to put in an early crop. Thoae going from Missouri. Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Northern psrts of Illinois and Indisnav should go ihroogh Missouri, or Arkanaas to Van Boren. Fort Snhth, Fort Townson, Coffee's Sta* tion or Pine BlufT, thence into the settlementa in the direction of tbe forks of the Trinity. Thoee* going from other section, of tbe Union, sooth, should go to Helena, or Columbia, Ark., Memphis,* Tenn.. or Natches, Miss., and thence acroas by land or to New Orleans, snd thence by stesmbosrt op Red River to 8hreveporr, Looisisna, a: which place an agent will be stationed, who willgiv? theemigranta directions aa to their route by land to Dallas and Stewartsvilie, a distance of seals' 200 miles.

Oor colony is rapidly filling op with an industrious, intelligent and moral people, and most soon beeome the most populous psrt of Texss. Tbe Government has recently formed the eonntiesof Grayson,Dallas, Denton, Collin and a part of Robeson and Navarro within the Grant. It ia decidedly the most healthy psrt of tbe State, the lands having a gentle undulating surface there are no ponds, swamps*1 or marshes and no local cause fordiseaae. The atmosphere is pure and pleasant. Durrn* the warm-r est months of summer there is eonstsnt breeze playing over the prairies, and the nights ere inva*t riably coot the thermometer never rises above #5 to 90, and in the winter never falls below 3C As*' grees Fahrenheit. It abounds in springs, snd at the depth of fifteen or twenty feet, in the midst of' the prsirie. the best of water can be bad all the small streams are peculiarly clear and crystal like. Colonel William Myers, who removed there from Garrard coonty, Ky., last fall, saya, in a letter dated 8th May, 1847 *'I will not venture to tell my frienda in Kentucky that the land here was better than the best land in Kentuckv, became they would not believe it *, but now I assert it, for tho soil is deeper, being in msny places five feet, snd tbe kindest land to work I ever put a plough in*' I verily believe that around the forks of the Trinity, lies tbe Isrgest body of first rate Iknd in America From the forks of the Trinity to Santa Fe, is ouly about 600 miles by the old Spanish trail, and the newspapers in Texss sre now advocstiug the route up the Trinity, and from its forks by Isnd. ss in every respect preferable to the one by Independence, Mo. Why should Emigrant* think of going to Oregon or California when they can obtain batter land for nothing ao much nearer home

Thia ia, perhapa, the last opportunity thst will ever offer on the continent of America of setting lands for the mere cost of surveys snd costs of deeds. Our colony is emphatically the place for the! poor man% home-, there be doea not have to feed his csttle lor six or seven months in the year therebe will havea home market forall the surplus he can produce for yes re to come, and with industry and economy, apeedily become rich.

Let no Emigrant loose sight of tbe important fact that our contracts with the Government of Texss expire on the first day of July, 1848, and that he must not only be in the Colony, but that ho must have selected his land, built a house or cabin thereon, and be residing therein with his family by that day—one day after that date, and the opportunity, of getting lands for nothing, is perhaps,: lost forever.

may be wanted. He uaea none but Shoenbtirger's best «Joniata iron and if his or some other good maker'a name is not found slsmped on the tire and other parta beware of it. He warrantshis wagons, materials, and workmanahip, for two years, but not being a merchant wagon-maker, heia not prepared to barter off his work, bot will give every facility be can to hia friends, at his okt stand (a little east of the two spinning wheels.) 3.
