Mr Row:
"The more haste, the more speed."
This homely adage has been wofully ex
emplified in the settlement of the Oregon
question a question wholly useless and
gratuitous, got up in obedience to the dic
tation of.the Baltimore Convention. But
the demagogues and war-dogs seized hold
of it as a beautiful theme for declamation,
and one by which a war spirit could be
aroused in the country, and an agitation
kept up, calculated to secure them in the
power they knew they had filched from
the people by the most unblushing false
hoods, put forth by their idols. The
speeches of the 51 40's resounded in the
capitol: "The whole of Oregon," they
proclaim, "or war; our title is clear and
unquestionable; the British dare not con
tend with us; they dare not go to
war with us." This was the cry of the
demagogues in Congress, and the hire
ling presses of the Executive. Ignorance
and impudence were their sole resources;
upon these they confidently relied, and
not one foot of Oregon would they relin
quish; not they. But lo! and behold
Benton, cunning old Benton, well know
ing the extent to which ignorance and im
pudence could carry those war demo
gogues towards the contest of 1818, col
lected his artillery- from undeniable cour
.ces, and wholly demolished the structure
they had erected, and brought them down
to 49, with a flea in their ear, and they
slunk out of the contest like dogs want
ing a tail. And thus" the Oregon bubble
burst, and they gladly accepted terms of
settlement dictated by the British minis
ter. "Oh! what a falling, off was there,
Mr. Polk!"' But the spirit of havoc and
destruction still predominates with the
spoilers. The Whig Tariff has produ
ced a lnrje surplus in the Treasury.
This must be got rid of, that the people
may no longer feel or think of the bles
sings they enjoy from a Whig measure.
Texas is annexed, and sworn by the dem
agogues to be peaceably annexed; that no
war should grow out of it, but they feel
that their strength is increased by four
votes from . Texas all of the true
genuine black spirit. Texas, fine n.a
ket for negroes! glorious chance for old
Yirginny hurrah for liberty! WTe arc
true democrats, bu the Treasury must be
emptied Mexico is in default instal
ments unpaid glorious chance for war!
The annexation resolutions left the boun
dary question open for peaceable settle
ment. Great mistake this; but might
overrides right. We feel no restraint by
constitution or laws; we have leaped over
them both often, to give strength to our
party. A war with Mexico; come on
boys! W:e shall fix the boundary at the
point of the sword! Twenty two mil
lions of spoils -worth contending for!
Stop at Corpus Christi a breathing spell
now we feel our might rush on the
Rio Grande hurrah for California! But
stop a moment and consider. This war
will create an immense debt. Have you
no bowels of compassion for : poor Penn
sylvania? Ye war dog, of the West in
particular, consider she has made canals
and railways to facilitate transportation, to
fill up your great Valley with emigrants;
and for this she owes forty millions of dol
lars, which requires a million every six
months to pay the interest; and you have
wrested from her the means of convert
ing the iron and coal of her mountains in
to cosh, hy the repeal of the Tariff. All
a humbug, yon say. Curse Pennsylva

THE DUTY OF THE NORTH.
It must be mortifying to those friends
of freedom who assisted -to place Mr.
i Polk in power, to find that his admmis-
ruler of the land of the free ! It has al
ready power enough to crush Northern
industry, and as the petted monster of the
administration, who can tell to what
strength it may aifciin.
The crv of the "whole of Oregon" was
raised, not because the whole was wanted.
i No ! This would have given something
to freedom ; but to secure the West to
j carry out the schemes of Southern aggran
1 dizement. It was necessary that the
West should be doubly gulled, and the
Harbor bill was held before her deluded
eyes, to cheat her out of her vote to de
stroy the manufacturers and mechanics of
the north. So that the West and the
North are the easy dupes of Southern
promises and cajolery.. The game has
been played with all the sagacity , and
want of principle of the most debased of
political gamesters; and has been won.
Poor Pennsylvania, cheated out of her
vote, is kicked aside as worthless. She
has given her vote for the accession of
Texas, and the domination of the
South, and of what use is she longer.
I The real purposes of the war upon Mex
ico wilt soon be accomplished. Mexico
can spare territory enough for a few
States to sustain Southern doctrines, and
the administration will have them.
Our duty is now a plain one the
North must lake care of herself. She
must become the unflinching advocate of
freedom; and (since northern industry
stinks in Southern nostrils.) the hearty
hater of slave labor. Pennsylvania has
stood long the champion of the South.
She must now become the unceasing,
sleepless sentinel of freedom. She is
now spit upon and scorned, and in her
hour of distress and dismay, let her learn
that the hand that has wronged her can be
extended in friendship no mote.
TIIE DUTY OF THE NORTH.
The brief article in yesterday's North
American gave expression, vigorous it
may be, but not exaggerated, to the senti
ments of the North in the present crisis.
Pennsylvania, always was, with constitu
tional limits, opposed -to slavery. This
movement commenced by Uenezet. was
led on by Franklin; and up until the agi
tating efforts in the North gave to the sub
ject a threatening aspect, the democratic
legislature of Pennsylvania annually pass
ed resolutions against slavery, ' and - in
favor of its abolition in the District of
Columbia. When the issue menaced he
peace of the South conservative Pennsyl
vania the iron barrier between the
North and South placed her foot upon
it. Buther principles have undergone
no change; and they are insane who seek
to throw her back upon them.
Never were the true and real interests
of the people of the South we mean the
owners so wronged as by the late proc
lamation of war against the laborers of the
north. The party at the South which
arrogates to itself the name and princi
ples of Democracy, has had the incense of
fiattery and subserviency so sprinkled up
on it by the fawning sycophants of the
North, who are despised while they are
used, that the fumes have intoxicated her
brain, until, like the reveller at Persepo
lis, she
Assumes the God,
Affects to nod,
And seems to shape the sphere !
She has been intoxicated by a serious
of triumphs, resulting from the skill of
her professional politicians, leaders who
make the duties of patriotism a game of
brag, and subject the rights and interests
of the people to the hazard of a die.
They have wagered against the masses of
the North as they wagered upon Eclipse
North, or they would not have hazarded
the game; but, whether for good or evil, it
has, for the present, been won. They
j have, (trampling upon the Constitution
which is their only dyke against an ocean
stormier than the Baltic obtained Texas,
, with her own representatives' and two
J Senators, without constituents, even if
eked out by slaves. They have secured
! a Southern President bv a Northern lie.
They have secured a war - with Mexico,
the appanage to that of Texas, and jiold
"a glass that shows us many, more"
States without freemen, and votes with
out a will. They have secured an ex
penditure of nerrly half a million a day
to turn Mexican mongrels into American
voters; but have defeated the Harbor bill
which appropriates a moderate sum for
the interests of Northern and Western ag
riculture and .commerce. They have
passed -the Sub-Treasury Bill to break
down Northern credit, and perhaps re
new the scenes of '3G when the South,
by a disgraceful bankruptcy robbed the
north of the monies generously credited
to her, and swaggered, bowie-knife in
hand, in the independence of triumphant
and affluent fraud. But the crowning
triumph of the South is the British Bill.
Her boasted preference of Great Britain
over the. North,as vauntingly avowed by
her favorite McDuffie, has been gratified.
It is true that the domestic market which
protects her staples from depreciation has
been broken up; it is true also that she
must, when capital at the North sinks,
she will be overturned and sucked in by
the agitation of the financial waves; but
no matter so the wail of the North brings
music to her malignant spirit. Now all
this is a pleasent game enough to the
South, while it is safe. But has she
counted the cost? The North is
cold as her granite, but as firm, and when
once heated by intolerable wrongs, uses
upon the wrongdoer no harlequin's lath.
Heretofore the South has slept upon
the sturdy' arm of the North. She has
lived, not merely upon upon Northern for
bearance, but Northern protection. The
truth may call the color to the Southron's
cheek; were that protection removed, his
cheek would be of another hue. Penn
sylvania has been between the North and
South, as the Andes between the Pacific
and Atlantic. Witness the constant and
fierce efforts of Philadelphia to suppress
by the strong hand, in violation of law and
constitution, the uprising of popular sen
timent against slavery. Witness the
burnings and the killings, the memory cf
which yet hangs darkly over our city.
And this was done, not because our peo
ple loved slavery, but loved their brethren
of the South gentle brethen do they ap
prove themselves ! The South exclaims
that the Constitution protects them; but
Constitutions were, and are violated to
protect them. And what is the requital
of the South ? It comes in the shape of
the British bill, and falls upon a people
prosperous and happy, like an eclipse
upon mid-day.
The people of the North are not the
dullards, the clod-like and abject 'things
which these brainless braggarts of the
South deem them. Pennsylvaniahas
been the steadiest friend of the South;
Pennsylvania is most mercilessly her
victim. Her two hundred. thousand have
stood between the agitators of the North,
and the slaveholders. Gratefully has
their devotion been acknowledged ! Let
the South not do us the wrong to suppose
that all this can be known and felt by
Pennsylvania without a change of senti
ment and action. Wre have been your
friend; look to yourselves- hereafter.
Pennsylvania has from this time no sym
pathy to spare for those who have re
quited friendship and affection, with un
provoked and crushing wrong.
With undeviating fidelity and honorable
effort, the Whig party of the South has
withstood this war upon Northern inter
ests. Its statesmen have legislated with
enlarged views and for the general good,
while our opponents have recklessly sun
dered every link of amity which should
bind the nation together. But for the
firm stand which Southern Whigs have
taken on the broad platform of the con
stitution, the fobearance of the North
would long since have been exhausted.
..We would not leave our position in
doubt. Pennsylvania will not, however
provoked, commit or sanction a violation
of the Constution. All that the South
has- even to the titles forged in Pan
demonium and written in blood, by which
she holds the image of god in bondage
shall be protected: bnl beyond that barrier,
we take up the guantlet flung in our faces
and know no word but war. Nay, we
go farther; The Constitution has been
boldly violated once, indisputably violated,
by the acquisition of Texas; and her Sen
ators enslave and ruin Pennsylvania, one
of the thirteen, with no more constitution
al right than had the government' from
whose tyranny less desolating than that
now inflicted we burst in '76. If that
experiment be again tried, in relation to
Mexico; if the North is to be, as is esti
mated, subjugated to a slave holding mi
nority, for all time, and that too, by the
unconstitutional admission of a foreign
people, alien to our language," habits and
feelings there is no contract left between
the North and the South. It cannot be
permitted. The truth may -as well be ut
tered first as last, it will not be endured.
We repeat that the politicians of the
South have done a deep and serious
wrong to the people of that section in this
unprincipled war upon the labour and
prosperity of the north. A triumph se
cured by a minority, with Texan votes,
and which overturns the social and settled
condition of millions, is a daring experi
ment. It has turned millions of Northern
ihearu, vhich, while thev abhorred slave
ry, still so loved their brethren of the
South, as to form a living wall between
the spirit of the age and them it has
turned them against the ruthless invaders
of their firesides. It has cooled the
friends and heated the enemies of the
South. In 1836, the young men of
Philadelphia assembled by thousands and
pledged themselves, to the death, to main
tain inviolate the constitutional rights of
the South. They would not now invade
them nor sanction their invasion; but
where is the glow of that Spirit? The
South is the foe of Pennsylvania; Penn
sylvania is no longer the friend of the
South. Nor shall the war be a passive
one. ."Whenever, and wherever we can
requite upon her the injuries that she
has done to us, we will, as a policy of
justifiable selfdefence, make the measure
of resentment a generous one. She has
invited the contest; made it, and avowed
it, as an issue between her slaves and our
freemen ; and left the laborer of the North
whether farmer, miner, manufacturer or
mechanic, no means of self-defence r and
self vendication but by paralyzing the
power that avows its determination to de
grade him to the position of its negro
slaves. , The white laborer against the
negro slaveholder, is the issue which .the
South has made, it is an issue that thev
will yet bitterly repent.
A 31 an Overboard!
The "Ohio Statesman," the State Pa
per, and the leading Loco Foco Journal
in Ohio, says all these hard things of Capt.
Polk:
"The Message in which, the President
supports his views, is a shallow perform
ance, vulgar in its language, ridiculous for
its false logic; and paltry as the treatment
of a thesis by some hair-splitting and wire
drawing schoolman of the Middle Ages,
who thought himself a great man, be
cause, like all small characters, he had
mistaken cunning for wisdom. It is,
however, quite worthy- the man whose
imbecility has been so unhappily display
ed in his action on the Oregon question
first uttering boasts of the louder kind,
and then sneaking oil to cover when the
enemy's bay was faintly heard in the dis
tance. "There is a remarkable similarity in
the President's conduct on these two sub
jects. As he mouthed and raved about
our 'clear and unquestionable' right to
the whole of Oregon, like unto one of
Nat Lee's Bedlamite heroes for we can
only call it mouthing and raving, when
the bathos of the treaty is known to us,
however much it pleased us at the time
of its utterance, because we believed it to
be the warm language of earnestness and
sincerity so has he now vetoed a bill
substantially recommended byr himself,
through the report of the Secretary of
War, a high officer of his Cabinet. It is
true that the defence has been set up for
him, that the Secretary, though reporting
through the President, really reports to
Congress. Granted but this does not
in the slightest degree alter the case. It
has always been considered at least it
was in those days when it was thought
that some degree of profound statcman
ship was necessary in governing a great
nation that a Cabinet should support
one uniform policy as speaking the sen
timents of the party whose principles it
was appointed to aid in carrying out, .
"Who overheard of a high Cabinet of
ficer recommending to Congress, through
the President, a course of action directly
contrary lo that of the President himself,
and actually accompanied with the proper
estimates as to the cost of carrying it out
who ever heard of any thing of the.
kind, w'e ask, before these days of decep
tion and pal pablea fraud? What Presi
dent, with a decent portion of self-respect,
ever practised such small intrigue? It is
new in the history of bur country and
no doubt found its origin and motive to
deceiv e some Members of Congress into
the support of measures which the Exec
utive feared might not otherwise prove
successful.
As the great words about Oregon Were
followed by the'smallest possible actions,
and were intended only to gull honest
men, so was the course of the President
on the subjeei of improving harbors and
rivers favorable only with the design of
gaining votes for the new Tariff Bill, the
Administration not having faith enough
to believe that one righteous measure could
stand without practicing a little falsehood
on another. - We most earnestly hope that
the day is now coming when every true
Democrat will have, in bitterness of
heart, to ask pardon of God and man for
having aided m elevating to power, men
who mistake treachery for good conduct,
and paltry shifts forgreat statesmanship.

THE MEXICAN WAR.
We have, in our last paper, placed be- j
fore our readers the Confidential Message
of the President of the United St3tes to
the Senate, and the Documents accompa
nying it, showing the grounds taken by
the President in his intercourse with the
Executive Council (the Senate) in rela
tion to the Mexican war: from which our
readers-will have learnt that the Presi
dent is in communication with the Gov
ernment of Mexico, of which Paredcs is
the head, with reference to a Negotiation
for Peace and for an adjustment of Boun
dary. We now lay before them, in another
column, a Proclamation issued some time
ago by Gen. Taylor, at the head of the
Army of invasion; which, though bearing
the signature of the gallant General, is,
upon the face of it, an elaborate manifes
to, prepared for him, and undoubtedly is
sued, by Executive authority. It is for
the reader to reconcile, in whatever way
he can, the inconsistency between this
annunciation to the People of the objects
of the Executive, and that very different
annunciation of its purposes and designs
which the President has so recently made
to the Senate.
In the message to the Senate the Pre
sident is not only anxious lo make Peace
with Mexico, but announces that he has
entered into negotiations with President
Paredcs to that end. In the Proclama
tion to the People of Mexico, the object
of the war is declared, and reiterated, to
be to "overthrow the tyrants" meaning
the actual Government with whom, since j
the publication of that Manifesto, the Ex
ecutive lias invited negotiations for Peace!
How are these extraordinary contradic
tions to be reconciled?
Again: the ohject of the War is de
clared, in the Proclamation, to be to ob
tain indemnity for claims, &c, and to o
verthrow the existing Government of
Mexico. In the Message of the Presi
dent of the United States of May 11th, so
promptly responded to, in which he ask
ed Congress to shoulder Ihe Wrar, and ap
propriate men and money to carry it on,
the prosecution of the War was demand
ed, not to obtain indemnity for claims,&c.
and much less to overthrow the Gov
ernment of Mexico but because of Mex
ico having "passed the boundary of the
United States," "invaded our Territory,
and shed American blood upon the Amer
ican soil." It was to rrpcl invasion of
our territory to defend our territory
that the President called upon Congress
to appropriate men and money, and not
to "liberate the people of Mexico from
despots," or "to overthrow tyrants," who
are declared lo have usurped power over
them.
Who can possibly determine the real
objects or intentions of the Government
in prosecuting this War, when the high
est official authority gives such different,
contradictory, and opposite versions of
ihem?
Is there yet some other purpose, not
revealed or hinted at in any of the Execu
tive communications to Congress or to
the People, nor even to the people of
Mexico, the disclosure of which, when it
conies, will furnish the key to these appa
rently irreconcilable inconsistencies?
CThc following articles are from
the Philadelphia "Spirit of the times," a
Locofoco paper of extensive circulation:

ticle which we take from the Charleston
(S. C.) Mercury, U full of meaning:
"It" is indeed a notable pretension to
setup that because the Peiinsvlvanians
were too ignorant and stupid to know

and treacherous for Congress lo adopt a

and stupidity may now dictate orapprove.'

the evening after the Presidential election,
in favor of the tariff of '42 :
"Gentlemen The Tariff of '42 is a

A Sample of the war Expenses
Government Stores. The steamer
Archer will 'leave hereto-day (the 31st)
for Fort Leavenworth, with 300 barrels
of pork, and 1,200 sacks offiour, for the
use of the army in the expedition against
Santa Fe. The pork was purchased at
S10 per barrel, and the flour at $1 80 per
sack, each sack containing 100 pounds.
The pork is carried to Fort Leavenworth,
for $1 per barrel, and the flour at 37 cts.
per sack. The transportation of a barrel
of pork from Fort Leavenworth to Bent's
Fort will be about 3, and the prime cost
and transportation to Santa Fe will make
each and every barrel cost the Govern
ment 53; at this rate the three hundred
will cost SI 5.900. At this same rale of
transp'ortation, a sack cf flour will cost in
Santa Fe $18 TO, the twelve hundred
$22,440: making the total cost of about
eighty five tons of provisions $33,340
about enough to ration an army of 1,000
men 20 days. And by the same rule, if
it will cost near $1,500 per day to furnish
1,000 men in meat and bread alone, what
will it cost to furnish all the necessaries
which soldiers use and are obliged to havo
during the time of war and what will
20,000 consume and destroy? At tha.
same rate the sum would be enormous,
