' - Now compare these sentiments of men cra dled In the5 'Whig, faith with those offered by J. Wt.Webb at our late ,C!iy Meeting, and doubt fully pronounced carried on a second trial by the President. Hear them ! Resolved, That as' Whigs and American citi? zens, werejoice in the signal triumph of our armsTri Mexico ; and, although wo are of opin ion lifer the existing War might have been a voided, for a time at least, if not altogether, by the exercise of a wise Statesmanship on the part of'tho President of the United States, we recognize the principle that once involved in w ar, it is the duty of every patriot to stand by the country and unite in the adoption of meas ures best calculated to sustain-iho National Honor and -achieve an early and honorablo Peace. Here the very points t denied by the great mass of Whigs are coolly assumed to wit, that to support the President in wrong doing is to stand by the Country that slaughtering Mericans by thousands and subjugating their provinces conduce to our National Honor and that-to pour out blood and treasure like water in offensive warfare is the right.way to achieve an early and honorablo Peace.' Do you find anything like this in'lhe genuine, authoritative Whig sentiments before quoted ? Do you hear anything like it in the famiMar conversation of lifelong Whigs, unless of the few connected in ihe: blood or aspiration to" the Tax-consuming interest of which Armies are everywhere the centre 'ana support? We da not. And we say agam, that opposition to the authors, the -purposes and the offensive prosecution of this auociouu War are all but universal m. the Whig Tanks, and that scarcely four thousand mis printed ' hundred in our former article Whigs can .be found .in this Stale who concur in the. ceutiinenl of he Webb Resolutions.

Although plain irr its language and clear in its design,- ibis inquiry becomes necessary, from ihe coveit manner in' which it is constantly assailed. The whole southern press arid government organs of the north, rep resent it as somothing that effects or interferes with slavery in the States where slavery exists.

A XsVtxv Case for the Curious. : A Turk, with three wives brought with him from Turkey, and three several classes of chil dren, died lately iri New York without a' will. Each of the three Wives," in behalf of herself and children, has applied to (he Surrogate for letters of 'administration. This case is a puz zler to the Judge of Probate'. "He thinks' he cannot grant letters to all (he wives, arid that the one'first married has the preference. ' By the law of Turkey, where the marriages were celebrated,. all the wives a man-may have, no matter how many, are held qual, having the same righfs of propdriy. T.he fear is and so counsel for the ladies represent the law thar granting of letters to either wife, and the! exclu- sion of qihers, would iri effect declare the ex eluded ones concubines, arid make .their chil dren illegitimate.

The' accounts; 'financial krid commercial by' the last steamer, from England are very-unfa: vorable, and the general opinion is , that "the erid isnot yet." Monetary matters were very stringent, and all descriptions of American pro ducts were very low ; coiion and breadstuffs much Ib'weV than they are in our .own country. Gf co'urse there is an end to exports of bread stuffs4, but cotton will be snipped throughout ihe season, and at much lower prices than our plan ters supposed a few months ago. The crop of cotton is generally estimated at about twenty-two hundred thousand bales, vviili the cjiahces of one hundred thousand more the season for picking having been unusually fine. . In. consequence of the great decline in Europe just as the crop, is coming to market in the South the planters will be sorely disappoin ted, as it is estimated lhat the proceeds of the present crop will be from twenty to twenty-five millions of dollars less than had been expected. This in-the face of the large imports and the cessasion of exports of breadstuffs, may be looked upon "as a national calamity, and it is hoped the Secretary of the Treasury will not lose sight of these important' facts when he makes his report to Congress. "If we (the plii- ral unit of this paper) had the honor of occupy ing his responsible station, we would say as follows: i i All things considered, the present Tariff has VvOrlie'd admirably? the -irnpoTts have? been' very large, a'rVd, by consequence, a Targe amdriut: of duties has beeri'paio: into the Treasury.

The providential foreign demand for our breadstuffs was most opportune, for it gave us a large amount of coin, which rescued the country and the Administration from distress ; and,- la's't Brit not least nay, best of all my estimates' in1 my last report lo Congress have been verified5. But lempora mutantur, (excuse a little Latin. )r There will now be no exports of food to Europe', and the value of the exports of cotton will be about twenty millions of dol lars leas than we some time ago expected; and, in the face. of this, the impos continue large Coin is leaving the country already; much lar ger amounts must go; and I am now perfectly satisfied that if you do not put on, -arid without delay, additional du I ie s V H l c h Will prevent such enormous imprirts, the country will' be in a deplorable condition before t he month of No vember 1848."

' " 1 : t The city was filled with rumors of peace, and it was said'that a quorum had met ai Qtte- rctaro, and that the majority decided in favor of.au amicable adjustment of difficulties. There seems: to be but. little doubt' that a force of Americans haves entered and taken possession of Orizaba, and it, is altogether pro-' bable.that the force did not exceed 400, men. Orizaba contains a population, of something near 16,000 inhabitants, yet they had the good sense to surrender their city, notwithstanding thatrthe force was so meagre that demanded it. Gen. Lane having arrived at Peroie was, there joined by Capt.' Walker and his command. Both advanced togeiher on the Puebla road till they reached the town of Vreyes. At 'this place Captain Walker by order of the B'orrfmanding General,' 1 took up his line of march to Huamauila, by tfay of the towns of San Francisco' and1 Guapastla. On his arrival at Huamantla, a sahguiriary engagement took place in the streets', between the forces of Cap tain Walker consisting1or250 men', arid that of the Mexicans numbering 1,600, the result of which was the total expulsion of the enemy front ih'e town, and iis occupation by our gal lant' little army, which lost' iri the battle only sir then i' but the gallanl Walker, after per fofrnirig prndigie's of valor and feats of the most daVing' character, fell; in single combat, pierced by the spear of an enraged father, who, goa ded' t'o actual frenzy by the" death of his sotv whose fall beneath the arrh of Capt.
