rgWe commend the following arti
cle lo the notice of the honest and mod
crate portion of the Democratic party. To
the radical barnburning "progressives"
it savors so strongly of conservatism, or
Federal Whiggery that they of course
Mill not read it. It is, however, from a
Locofoco paper, one which did what
it could to elect Mr. Polk, and as such
valuable, as an indication of what the
moderate portion of the party think of
him L his war. If a Whig had said as
much, Mr, Polk would have thought se
riously of having htm hanged as a traitor,
forgiving "aid and comfort to the ene
mv." We scarcely know what the of
fence may be construed to be now, per
haps only that of "scandalum magnatum"
to wit: of Jimmy and his honorable
Secretary of War.
OLD-FASHIONED NOTIONS.
From the Norfolk (Va.) Herald (an old
fashioned Republican Paper) of April 12.
War is a calamity at any
rate, but particularly so to a free people,
lis influence and consequences are at va
riance with all the principles of free gov
ernment. A military people never exist
for any length of time as a free people.
All history proves that they cannot. Yet,
in spite of history, in spite of reason and
common sense, our Government has mad
ly undertaken to force the opposite con
clusion. A war has been forced upon the
country prematurely, every candid man
must confess; unnecessarily, is equally
demonstrable: and what are the 'results?
To say nothing of the lavishing of the
people's money and the people's blood,
we have the vast extent of Executive pat
ronage by the necessary increase ol some
thousands of military appointments, aug
mented by a new army of executive offi
cers to collect the revenue in the enemy's
noris. according to the President's new
'OnW in Council." We find no fault
with this measure as a means of offence
against Mexico. We are at war with
her no matter whose fault it is; and'it is
incumbent upon us to do her all the harm
we can, to bring her to terms of peace.
Hut the consequence ol tne measure is
fearful strengthening of the power of Ex
ecutive, which the republicans of the old
school were particularly jealous of, as an
enemy that would sap the foundation of
our liberties. Such antiquated notions,
however, are "literally! laughed at by
THE MODERN DEMOCRACY, who act as if
their leading principle was, that whatever
ii raVulntptl to nr.roetuatc Dower in the
hands of their party is all right and pro
pcrt and constitutional of course. It
is easy for the people to see that if the
ascendency in the Government remains
much longer in the hands ol the parly
now wielding it, all the barriers between
Executive supremacy and the Constitu
tion will be broken down; and, seeing it,
they must rise perceive the necessity of
immediately rallying to the rescue of
the principles of the Constitution, and,
indeed, of their liberties.
MR. CALHOUN.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
There is a letter in this city from S.
Carolina, winch states that Mr. Calhoun
has written a letter to his friends on the
subject of his being a candidate for the
next Presidency; that, in this letter, he
states that, under no circumstances, will
he consent to be a candidate for that of
fice; and further that he requests and ur
jics his friends to unite on Major General
Zachary Taylor as their candidate for the
Presidency.
$C?01d Rough and Ready, seems to
be going it with a perfect rush. He has
already been formally nominated in pri
mary meetings by portions of the Whig,
Loco Foco and Native American parties;
and now it seems the Nullifiers are fol
lowing suit. Jimmy Polk has done in
one respect, at least like Old Hickory, he
has "nominated his successor." We are
willing to give even the devil his due, and
this tinvj, wc must say Jimmy has done
nrottv wp!!. Lrt him have all the credit
he deserves. It is not the first time that
nut of evil. And food
e -'
may come to the country, even out ol this
misciable War ot tho President's making.

Santa Anna's Address to his Army
iils arrival at the clty of mexico
His Inauguration The Inaugural
Policy of his Administration, &c.
The Picayune has papers from the city
of Mexico up to the 24th March.
A Guadalajara paper . publishes the
terms offered by our Government for
peace through Senor Atocha. The prin
cipal one was, in brief, fifteen millions to
be paid Mexico for the line of twenty-six
degrees,, from the Gulf to the
Pacific, and the United States to demand
no expenses of the war. . These expen
ses are estimated at thirteen millions, ma
king a total of twenty-eight millions for
the territory north of twenty-six degrees.
Santa Ann a took leave of the army :
San Luis Potosi on the 14th of March in
the following brief address:
Headquarters, San Luis Potosi,
March 27, 1847.
Companions in Arms: Devoted entire
ly to the sci vice of the country, I march
to assume the reins of Government, in
doing which I make the most costly sa
crifice, acting contrary to my cherished
desires and lixed intentions. But this
course will put an end to the civil war
which is destroying our beautiful capital;
it will give unity to our defence and im
pulse to the righteous struggle in which
we are engaged with the perfidious inva
ders, and in which you have fought with
such bravery7 and decision in the field of
La Angostura.
Mv Friends: I will never forget your
glorious actions on that field of battle,
your sufferings in the desert, to which you
submitted with heroic patience, and, above
all, that I had the honor of commanding
you. The nation owes you a recom
pense, and you will shortly receive it
through my exertions, although this is not
the consideration which stimulates you
to bear yourselves as worthy sons of Mex
ico. Soldiers: You are the hope of the
country, her best defenders. Your duty
then is to guard all parts: and on this ac
count I hare disposed that two brigades
of infantry and one of cavalry, with their
corresponding batteries, shall march to
the defence of the State of Vera Cruz,
the rest of the army defending this fron
tier. Every where you will conduct your
selves as you have done hitherto, and you
will ever deserve the illustrious name you
have acquired. I am going to procure
whatever is necessary to consummate the
great work which is committed to you,
and be assured that in the hour of danger
you will again find in the midst of you
your general.
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.
From San Luis to the city of Mexico
Santa Anna's progress was triumphal.
He continually met delegations from Con
gress sent out to propitiate him. Addres-
- a t
ses from the diflercnt States were presen
ted to him on his route. He arrived in
the immediate vicinity of the capital on
the 20ih. On the 23d he took the oath
of office as President of the Republic al
the city of Guadalupe dc Hidalgo. The
afternoon of the following day he entered
the city of Mexico with great pomp and
solemnity. A Te Deum was sung in the
metropolitan church, where he received
the felicitations of the authorities and cor
porations. SANTA ANNA'S INAUGURAL
ADDRESS.
Senores Dehuties: I have just taken
the oath which the law prescribes, and in
doing so, ought to accompany it with a
manifestation of ray sentiments and the
motives of my conduct to this respectable
committee of the legislative body.
The events which have taken place in
the capital are known, and arc of such a
character as to bind me to give them a
speedy and pacific termination. Sur
rounded by difficulties of all kinds, inter
ested in what is the most important and
essential for the whole nation, as is the
sustaining of a strong and decided strug
gle with a foreign Power, in which noth
ing less is involved than the existence of
the nation, it would be the best of evils to
enter into a contest with those who ought
to unite in repelling the common enemy.
These discords ought to disappear at the
imperious voice of patriotism, which calls
upon the sons of the country to have but
one will and aim. The moments have
been urgent; I have seen the forward
steps of the enemy; I have rushed to the
field to repel him, and even at the mo
ment of doing so I have been forced to
leave a brave and victorious army, and to
come hither to assume a power which I
have repeatedly said was repugnant to
my feelings and which I had decided ne
ver to undertake.
That which has been and ought to be
an object of aspiration and desire, is for
me an enormous sacrifice. But I am all
for my country, and shall ever serve it,
without thinking what it may cost me to
do that which the nation desires 1 should
do. I have entered upon the Supreme
Magistracy because I have seen that it
was the sole legal means of terminating its customary routine in Gen. Scott's ar
the disturbances of this capital, and be- since the occupation of tic t0Wn and
cause I believe I shall thus be able to fa-1 , , mi i
cilitate the nroseeution of the war. and castIe hY our tr00Ps- fhe commands in
to save the independence and honor of
i
Mexico, which I wish to present unsul- ,
ucu aim urmiaiii iu uie wunu yimcu is up
holding us. I have before me the com
mittee of thi snvprriirn fJonoress. of that

august body whose decisions I have re-
speeicd and shall constantly continue to ;
respect. Its decisions will be my invari-
able guide, and I have firmly resolved to
preserve a pure union with the legislative
body, which union will give us a final
victory and the re-establishment of inter- Department. Kumors were current a
nal and external peace, on which the hap- mong the troops, and generally credited,
pincss of our country depends, and to that the army would be for some time
which wc all aspire. The nation has cantoned in and about Jalapa, a city re
proclaimcd the political principles which nowned for the salubrity of the climate,
ought to be the basis of the administra- where they would enjoy perfect immuni
tion which I wish to establish. ty from the ravages of the vomito.
Thus I understand that its strength will A Frenchmen, who arrived at Vera

try. This will not be denied, and the na- j te Nacional, but only sixty men to serve
tion shall still sre me obedient to its wish- i them.
es, without my having any other rule of Santa Anna, it seems, had flattered
conduct than its decisions. As a Mexi- i himself with being able to succor Vera
can and a soldier, I shall always take the
same road as the nation; and I aspire to
no other title , than that of a good citizen,
and in speaking of me that it should be
said that I always loved my conntry; that
I served it with zeal, and that I sacrificed
myself for its good.
The Cabinet of Santa Anna is compo
sed as follows: I). Mariano Otero, Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs; 1). Juan Rondero,
of the Treasury; D. Francisco Suarvey
Triarte, of Justice; and.D. Joe Ignacio
Gutierrez, of War.
From any thing we find in the papers
it docs not appear that Santa Anna's as
sumption of the reins ol Government is
a revolution. He ot course dispossesses
Gomez Farias as chief executive officer,
but without driving the latter from his
station as Vice President. El Republi
cano, a very pertinacious opponent of the
administration of Farias, claims the change
as equivalent to a revolution; all the mea
sures of Farias are to be abandoned, it
says; but it will be proper to wrait a little
till Santa Anna has time lo look about
him. Our latest papers just bring him
into the full enjoyment of power. He
has avowed his intention of asking from
Congress an amnesty for all political of
fences committed since 1821.
The Times has a number of El Re
publicano of the 27lh March, from which
it appears that all difficulties had subsided
at the capital. Gen. Pcna y Barragan,
the leader of the insurgents, had issued
an order to his followers to disband and
retire peaceably to their respective homes.
This was done in obedience to an injunc
tion from Santa Anna, when at some dis
tance from the capital.
The Priest party, as offering in greater
abundance the elements of stability to his
sway, arc said to be in high favor with
Santa Anna. Immediately upon his in
auguration he published an address to his
countrymen which breathes a spirit of de
termined hostility to the Americans. He
exhorts them to cease their intestine com
motions, and to unite heartily for the ex
pulsion from the soil of the common ene
my. He anticipates, provided he is pro
perly seconded by the people, lo be still
able to make head successfully against
the invading forces.
SANTA ANNA.
In our news from the Brnsos we men
tion the arrival of Santa Anna, on the 8th
ultimo, at San Luis Poto3i, with a remnant
of his army. Mr. Kendall in one ol Ins
letters speak of him as having subsequently
reached the capital of Mexico where it is
said he has joined the Church party, and
is disposed for peace. This in'elligencc
Mr. Kendall received through the foreign
fleet at Vera Cruz and it is probably true
in so far as the whereabouts of Santa Anna
is concerned; nor is it improbable that he
has become disgusted with fighting.
QPicayune.
A GOOD REASON.
Blitz had a bright little fellow on the
stand to assist him in the "experiment."
"Sir," said the Signor," do you think
I could put the twenty cent pieces which
that lady holds, into your coat pocket:
"No," said the boy, confidently.
"Think not?"
"I know you couldn't," said the little
fellow, with great firmness.
"Why not?" ;

From the Army at Vera Cruz.
The latest accounts are of the 31st ul
timo. Every thing had begun to resume
the city, the castle, Fort Santiago, and !
I
other salient points, remained as at last
advices. The heat was intense, but the
health of the men remained m the most
satisfactory condition.
Gen. Scott was anxiously waiting the
arrival of additional means of transport,
mules, wagons, &c. to commence an on- J
ward movement into the interior, inten- j
ding to occupy Jalapa, the capital of the
Cruz. The six thousand veteran troops
who accompanied him from San Luis
were not permitted to proceed with him
lo the city of Mexico, but were ordered
to march to Vera Cruz bv the shortest
route; and, at the latest date from the ca
pital, he was still unceasing in his exer
tions to forward reinforcements. On the
27th ultimo a considerable force, forming
the permanent garrison in the city of
Mexico, the grenadiers of the Supreme
Power, the sixth infantry, and the bat
talion of liberty of the National Guard,
marched forth from the metropolis des
tined for Vera Cruz. Rather too late,
wc think.
The following general order had just
been issued by Gen. Scott:
Headquarters of the Army,
Vera Cruz, March 30, 1847.
The capture of this well-fortified city,
the emporium of Mexican commerce,
with the castle of San Juan d'Ulua, the
enemy's principal fortress, with 5,000
prisoners, and as many stand of arms,
400 pieces of ordnance, and a large quan
tity of ordnance stores, have added to the
I glory of American arms acquired else
where in tins war, and cannot tan to con
tribute powerfully to an early peace, so
much desired by the United States.
These important achievements have es
tablished a new base, and opened a shor
ter and better line of operations upon the
enemy's capital and centre of resources.
The General-in-Chief congratulates the
army he has the honor personally to com
mand upon this brilliant opening of a
new campaign, and tenders, on the part of
the United States, immediate thanks to
all the corps regular and volunteer, in
cluding a detachment of marines under
Captain Edson which formed the line
of investment and prosecuted the siege to
its happy conclusion. I he troops have
borne the heaviest labors, in camp and in
trenches, without failure or murmur, a-
midst sand-storms of distressing frequen
cy and violence, skirmishes by day and
night, and under tiie incessant hrc ot tne
enemy's heavy ba'tcrics of the city and
castle. I he sfc'adiness and cueerlulness
of officers and men, under the circum
stances, are worthy of all praise.
The General-in-Chief sincerely regrets
that he cannot give the names of the hun
dreds, or rather thousands, to whom par
ticular thanks arc due on this occasion.
He can only enumerate the few who were
isolated by rank or position, as well as by
noble services. Of this class he is hap
py to name Brevet Brigadier General
Worth (now Brevet Major General) and
Brigadier General Twiggs, commanding
the remilar brigades; Major General Pat-
terson (second in command) and his three
brigadier generals, Pillow, Quitman, and
Shields, of the volunteer division; Col.
Harney, commander of the regular caval
ry; Col. Tottcn, chief of engineers; Col.
Bankhad, chief of artillery and comman
der of the batteries, ably assisted, in suc
cession, by other field officers of artille
ry; Captain linger, acting chief of ord
nance, much at the batteries, and assisted
ably in supplying them by Captains Cross
and Irwin, both of the Quartermaster's
Department; Lieut. Col. Hitchcock, ac
ting inspector general; Major Turnbull,
acting chief of topographical engineers;
Major MacRee, acting chief of the Quar
termaster's Department; Capt. Grayson,
acting chief of the commissariat; Sur
geon General Lawson and the personal
staff of the General-in-Chief, Lieutenants
IT. L. Scott, Williams, Scammon, and
Lay; with the occasional aid of Captains
Lee and Johnson, cf the engineers and
topographical engineers, and Captain
Monroe, acting assistant inspector gene
ra'. To the commissioners. Brevet Maj.
Gen. Woith, Brigadier General Pillow,
and Colonel Tottcn, including Capt. Au-
lick, of the navv, who so ablv negotiated
and arranged the terms of capitulation
j with the enemy's commissioners, great
credit is also severally due in that distinct
capacity.
Thanks higher than those of the Gcn-eral-in-Chief
have been also earned by
the entire Home Squadron, under the sue-
cessive orders of Commodores Conner
. l r i t t t
and Perry, for prompt, cheerful, and able j
assistance from the arrival of the army
off this coast. Besides landing troops J
and supplies, and the strict blockade of j
-
this port, the smaller vessels, detached by
Commodore Perry, under the immediate
command of Captain Tatnall, joined for
a time in the attack upon the city, at tl
imminent risk of being sunk bythefi
the city, at tho
re
of the castle; and the land battery No. 5,
(called the Naval,) which followed Nos.
1,2,3, and 4, (served by the army,) at
the end of two days was exclusively (af
ter being prepared by the engineers and
troops of the army) armed, manned, and
commanded out of the squadron. This
battery, in the successive tours of the ffal
lant Captains Aulick and Mayo, proved
itself highly effective.

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Commer
cial Advertiser.
Rio de Janero, February 19, 1817.
We are most anxiously expecting later
advices from England and Montevideo, as
they will probably determine the policy
of England and France as regards the arm
ed intervention in the River Plate, par
ticularly as upon their decision depends
the question of peace or war between Ro
sas and Brazil. The former has of
late offered many insults to Brazil, and
seems to be determined to goad her into
a quarrel.
Brazil is desirous of peace, but is pre
pared and is preparing for defence in case
of being attacked at the South; and, at
last advices from Montevideo, 30th ulti
mo, the troops of Rosas were in full pos
session of the Bands Oriental, having
crossed Entre Rios in large numbers, rou
ted Rivera, (who had a lew days before
taken Paysaudu on the Uruguay,) and
driven him across the country to Maldon
ado, where he arrived on the 27th. It
was extremely doubtful if he could main
lain himself there against Oribe's forces,
and he would probably be obliged to flee
to Rio Grande again; and if afforded
protection, as before, Rosas, would con
sider it "casus belli," and commence op
erations immediately, as one of his most
serious charges against Brazil is their af
fording Rivera protection before, and af
tar allowing him passports to go to Mon
tevideo. It has been the subject of two very
strong protests by the Argentine Minister
at this Court.
The Mutinc brig of war, which was
ordered to be ready early in December
to take out the final orders of the English
and French Governments to Montevideo,
was still waiting at Portsmouth on the
28th of December, it is supposed in con
sequence of some misunderstanding be
tween the two Powers, England being for
prosecuting the intervention, and France
opposed to it. The latter is supposed to'bc
jealous of the former, as by the opening
of the Parana the English would be the
greatest and almost only gainers, whereas
France would have to bear the greatest
burden of ships and men. It would now
appear that Urquiza, the Governor of En
tre Rios, who it was supposed had deser
ted Rosas, has again espoused hU cause,
not only allowing his troops to pass
through Entre Rios, but affording him ev
ery assistance in his power.
Nothing is known with certain'y of the
states of Conentes; but it lo be feared that
she will follow Entre Rios, being parly to
the treaty of Alcercz, which appears to
ha c been only to blind the other Slates,
while Rosas was preparing for the new
campaign
Ths general opinion is that Brazil can
not escape a war with Rosas, particularly
in consequence of her good understanding
with Paraguay, having acknowledged her
independence, and, may think, entered
privately into a treaty offensive and de
fensive. It is very certain that the Par
aguayan Minister al this Court is on very
good terms with tho Government, and it
would not be surprising if Gen. Gaid;,
the Argentine Minister, should demand
his passports, or rather the Government
should send them to him. His corres
pondence and protests th2 past three
months have been couched not only in
strong, but rather insulting terms. The
replies of the Brazilian Government were
very proper, and not wanting in spirit.
This Government is expecting Mr.
Wise's recall, having signified their wish
that he should not be allowed to remain;
and under the circumstances it would not
be advisable.
"That is really the smallest horse I ever
saw," said a countryman, on viewing a
Slietland.'poney. "Indade, now," replied
his Irijh'companion, "but I've cen one
as small as two of him."
Secretary's Offck, ?
Harrisbirs, March 22, 1847.
To the Directors of the respective accep
ting School Districts, and the people:
The Legislature, at the Session of
1816, appropriated the sum of $200,000,
t0 lne support of Common Schools, for
c current school year, 18 47, to be divi-
'l - .l . . ...
ucu among tne accepting districts, m
proportion to the taxable inhabitants.
" Bum, wuen uiYiueu, gives in ma
proportion of fifty cents to each taxablo
inhabitant, for the present year, which
will end on the first Monday of June
next.
The sum of $200,000 has been appro
priated by an act passed at the late Ses
sion, to the same object, for the School
year 1848, which will commence on the
7th day of June next, to b divided in the
same manner, among the accepting dis
tricts. It is believed however, from tha
anticipated increase of accepting districts,
as well as the natural increase of taxablo
inhabitants, that it will hardly admit of a3
large a distribution to each taxable inhab
itant, as that of the present year. Tho
exact amount cannot be ascertained, until
the returns of all the accepting districts,
and the number of taxable in each, are
received at this office. The probable a
mount however, will be in the proportion,
of from forty-five to fifty cents, to each
taxable.
I have, therefore, deemed it my duty,
thus early to call the attention of the di
rectors and the people, to the provisions
of the fourth section of the act of June
13, 183G, which are as follow:
"Section 4. The school directors of
every school disiric which has adopted,
the Common School system, or which
may hereafter adopt the same, shall annu
ally, on or before the first Monday m
May, authorize to be levied, such an a
mount of tax, on said district, as they
may think necessary for school purposes,
not less than equal to, nor more than tre
ble the amount which the district is enti
tled to receive out of the annual Slate ap
propriation; and for the purpose of rais
ing any additional sum, that may be
deemed necessary, meetings shall be cal
led, of the taxable inhabitants of the town
ship or distrist, by the directors, on tho
first Tuesday in May, annually; notice of
the time and place of holding iuch meet
ing, being first given by at least six adver
tisements, put up in the most public pla
ces in such township or district, for the
space of two weeks, a majority of whom
shall decide by ballot, how much, and
what additional sum, shall be raised for
school purposes; and any additional sum
so authorized, shall be assessed and col
lected, paid over and distributed, in tho
same manner as is provided for by this
act."
It will be perceived, from this section,
that the directors are only authorized to
levy taxes to treble the amount of the
State appropriation, unless the consent of
the people is first obtained, in the manner
provided by tha said section. It is there
fore important, in order to secure good
schools," and their con'inuance for a rea
sonable portion of the year, that the re
quirements of the law, should receive tho
attention of the people.
The attention of the county commis
sioners, is also respectively called to iho
provisions of the third section of the sup
plemental school law of 183G, (to bo
found at page 332, pamphlet laws of that
year,) relative to the triennial enumera
tion of the taxable inhabitants; a compli
ance with which, at as early a period as
may be practicable, is desired.
The directors of the several accepting
school districts, should also bear in mind,
that the suparinlendant is prohibited from
issuing his warrant for the distributive
share of a district, for any year, until ho
is furnished with the report of the direc
tors for the preceding year, and with a
certificate, that a tax has been assessed,
as required by law, and a duplicate and
warrant for the collection thereof, deliver
ed to the collector.
