Evils of War.

Of War, it mav always be said, thai one party mwt lie the sufferer. How often is it, that both parties are not made to frtl it* direful effects, even those who ha** been conquerors in the Woody conflict* I OH ear aide the war has (teen unusually successful, and if that were just grounds for it* continuance, we are hound to carry it on. Every thing which ha* transpired has had the tendency to render il popular, yet. with a rast majority of nor countrymen, I am lorne out in the assertion that (lie sentiment has been agiimrt it. It has been nonertcd ty those who favor the war, that to give expression to our honest convictions in opposition to it, is treason, and sffoid* "aid and comfort" to the enemy. We are ic-quired to restrain rnir hand—but we inflict a stab upon the interest* of our own rountiy. We pause at the thoueht, for llie same reason we would forltear to strike at a foe, for fear of injuring a friend. It is. in fact, an appeal to our 'magnanimity. It is related in -«Op's Fables of some frogs that were pelted by boys, that one of ihein made this patriotic s|eech —"though it is fun to you.it i*death tons.'' We may rejoice at tbo spkndid victories which we have obtained, have our illuminations and bonfires, anniversaries and celebration!:, but we. at the same time, niuft chcrish a disregard tor the feelings ol the couquered.

'Tis even so—who wears the poet's crown, Must also bear the haughty worldling's frown. Who seeks that crown but asa glit'ring show, Deserves the scorn the worldling may bestow: Who seeketh Truth because her brow is bright, Ut'relh her teachings as his soul's delight Secure in her firm panoply of steel, The frown, the shaft of malice may not feel And though his strains the inmost soul may thrill, His life must be his loftiest pean still! Then oft upon his varied path to heaven, The praise pride asks not, is 10 virtue given, His strains may mark him one who oft doth woep, \'et hath he sorrows, he has joys as deep. Love's fainting flame to brighinpss he can fan, And draw man closer to his brother man. 'Tis his alone all beauteous links lo find, That mail to glowing nalurn .still should bind Toshow earth only in that bloom arrayed. To mould the soul for glories that ne'er fade.

SOCIALISM IN LONDON.—The Tradts of London hare had a Delegate Meeting at the Bell. Old Bailey, and put forth ao Address and Resolutions pointing out their wants, their wrongs and their rights. The following are the resolutions: 1 1. That as skill and labor areldnaitted by all to be the primary agents in the production of capital, it follows, as a consequence, that the compulsory idleness in which a large portion of the industrious classes ere kept, is an unbearable eril to themselves—alarming to the peaceable and well disposed—ruinous to the national resources, and, if not speedily remedied, musl lead to crime and anarchy. 2. That it is a primary duty of the Government to introduce measures that will immediately secure employment and educatiou for all tvho require them, with a guarantied sufficiency of the necessaries and comforts of life to each. 1 3. That as Great Britain and Ireland contains a superabundance of land and other materials, as well as skill and capital lo profitably employ and comfortably support several times the present number of the population, the Government should introduce a bill establishing self-supporting home colonies, wherein the surplus labor of the coun-( try might be employed, and the social condition ol the workers permanently improved. 4. That for the just protection of labor, a Labor-Protecting Board be established, the members of which shall be elected by the working classes and in virtue of their appointment, be entitled each to a sitting in the House of Commons, (the President be ing a member of the Cabinet.) as the representatives of labor, and the guardians of its rights, 5. That the trades of London should respectfully but (irmly demand of the Legislature, first, to extend the Elective Franchise to every man of twenty-one years of age, of sound mind, uncontaminated by crime se* rondly, that taxation should be equalized, by substituting for all other taxes—whatever their character—a graduated properly tax thirdly, that a currency be issued by the Government based on the credit of the nation, and equal lo the wealth offered in exchange fourthly, that a measure should be passed to protect the laboring classes from the existing unequal STSlem of competiiion from foreign manufactures and felon labor, each trade being called upon to determine what amount of work would constitute a fair day's labor, and the law affixing upon that amount a fair remuneration.

OF CHARACLER

MEXICO, April 8, 1848.

General Taylor's militaiy exploits are not the causes of Irn popularity, they are only the occasions for the display of his soucd judgment, oner

man and his family—out of which he has lo '"corrupt,hie honesty. He has as much reputation for what he ha* written as for what he

greatest monarch his, and everything he says ss everything he does,

ear n, end lhat the wante of royalty above jB marked by the purity and greatiie«a of his own

y°«r ^notable House to pass or base himself, 'hat after five minutes convertlaws lo prevent lhe royal children having, tion with (»en. I avlor, dared lo propose, or even

can give the true idea of the loftiness ol his character. I remember that you asked at lhe time ho was put in command at Corpu* Christi, whether he was equal to the circumstances! I told you. in reply, of his sound judgment and inexhaustible energy, ns I learned them in Florida, but I did not then properly estimate lhe other and higher points of his character. In the campaign on the Rio Grande I saw him tried under all circumstances, and he always came out pure gold.

His profession lhat he will lie the candidate of no party, will, if he be elected, be carried out in his practice, not that his opinions on matter* of policy may not be those of one or the other party, as on most of these he it a Whig, and he is nol the man to set adverse to his own opinions, but no party management or power can ever lead him to do a mean or what he thinks a wrong thing.

As soon as Gen. Taylor was furnished by event* with the opportunity to display hi* character, you see that it was at once properly estimated, and I come back to the proposition I start wilh, thst people al way* properly estimate great men. I do not ssy that they will always reward them properly. for they cannot always give a direct expression to their feelings, and the less worthy may have iheir votes without their wishes.

Y(R6RSR* ELKCTIOH.—We have returns from forty-five counties, which have elecled to the House of Delegates 30 Whigs and 24 democrat*, being net whig loss, compared with Isst yesr,* of five members. It is reported that tbe whig* lose tbe Senator in the Buckingham dialrict. We are sorry to notice lhat John 8.

MOST*LITV IX MSXICO.—Vhe Georgia volunteers in Mexico, have suffered severely by disease. Of nesrly 400 men who left Colombos in the five compsoies. not more thsn forty sre fit for duty. About 35 are in tbe hospital at Jalaps, snd the remainder in tbst of Perote. Up to the I Ith iost-, 193 bsd died snd been dischsrged.

Th* e*h *or TtT.—It is said that a letter bas been received from Gen. W. O. Butler, now in command of the American Army in Mexico, stating lhat be bas little or no expectation thst the Mexican Congress will ratify the treaty of peace which hss recently been sen lout by Mr. Commissioner Sevier.

L*T**T mo* Vie®.—According to the Richmond Enquirer, tbe democrats, so br, have gained two Senators sad lost 1 snd in tbe House they have gained 13 snd lost 6, giving ibem a oett g*in of 7 member*, equal to 14. If tbe rest of tbe Slate vote as before, the democratic majority on joint ballot will be 17 votes. Tbe Whig, makes tbe democratic net! gain only one.

The Crisis tn Englnnd»t)e|»arlitre of tbe Queen to tlic lsie of Wight.

A London correspondent of the Boston Atlas, writes under date of April ?ih: I have this moment been informed by gentleman connected with one of the publie offices, that the procession will not be allowed to pass over any of the bridges, (Kensington common is on the Surry side of the Thames.) and, furthermore, the military will be stationed on the bridges, and will not permit any persons to pass and if an attempt is made, orders veiil be given for the troops to fire.

Looking at the revolutionary state of all Europe, there is certainly great cause for alarm in London, not only in London but in Dublin, and in fact, in the whole kingdom.

Cabinet councils are held daily, and 1 am assured that Ministers scarcely know how to act. At one council there was great difference of opinion as to whether the Queen and her familv should remain in Loudon, or leave before Monday next.

It was finally decided that it would not be prudent (in another word, safe) for her to return. The Qrietti left Buckingham Palace lo day for the Isle of Wight! You will remember that she was only recently confined, besides which it is a cold and wet day nevertheless, it was deemet} advisable for her to leave towh.

It may be concluded that nothing else is now the topic of conversation in the streets and in houses, but the Chartist demonstration in London, and the Repeal demonstration in Dublin. Every boarding in this metropolis is covered with large placards' addressed to the people, either calling upon ihein to come forward on Monday and obtain their rights, or warning them against this revolutionary movement. Scores of people stand before these posters, and attentively read them. I heard several persons call the posters which warned them agaiust meeting, "till hunibtig."

The seventh congressional district in New York

must remain wiihnul a Representative, since the House unseated Mr, Jackson,and refused, hy 0 slender majority, to ndmit Mr. Monroe, until the

next session, as hj the lawc of the State no extra election for Congress can be held, except at the annual election in November.

The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says that a large body of Whigs in

both Houses of Congress have openly expressed a

desire to adopt Judge McLean as a compromise candidate for the Presidency.

There seems to he a great unanimity among Whigs generally to support the nominee—a feeling

wo are glad to see and happy to record, for without union we can have hut little hope of success,

A SKWUVR MACIUXK.—The Boston Travel* ler notices a newly invented sewing machine, ca

pable of making 260 or 300 alitches in a minute, and doing Ihe work of six or eight seamstresses.—

It is said to work admirably, nnd is destined to revolutionize the business of tho poor, half-paid seamstresses.
