r iMcrary and the Stale Debt.
'There is danger, it seems to us, that
!;e Mexican war at this time engages so
c:iurc'y the public mind, as to cause mat
wrs of local interest, though ever so im
portant, to be, in a great measure, lost
sight of. This should not be so. W hilst
the war is raging abroad, sound policy
dictates that affairs should be rightly man.
aged at home. In a little more than three
months hence, our State elections will
take place, and it is to this subject that
we desire to direct the attention of our
reader. We, of course, mean to speak
of the Pennsylvania election only.
- Democracy, or in other words, the Lo
cofoco party, assumes lo itself the exclu
sive care cf the rights and interests of the
people, and we wish, therefore, to exam
ine into its conduct and see in how fir it
lias been faithful to the trust which it has
taken upon itself. Of the five Governors
last elected, four are Locofocos, and one
a "Whijr. Under the Administrations of
the former, viz, Shultze, Wolf, Porter
and Shunk, the State debt, amounting at
present to about forty millions, appears to
have been created, while under the ad
ministration of Ritner, according to a re
port of Auditor General Hobart, the pcr
n,nent debt was somewhat reduced. It
lol'ows, then, that the Locofoco party is
justly to be charged with, and held res
por'iMe for, the present public debt.
Now, in order that the people may ar
rive at a correct conclusion in regard to
the advantages that flow from Locofoco
rule, they must first decide whether a debt
of iorty millions, the interest upon which
is raised by taxes, is a blessing or a curse
unto them. If the former be the case
if they are benefitted by heavy taxes
then has Locofocoism faithfully dis
charged its trust, and the people are in
duty bound to continue it in power. But,
if the contrary be the case if paying a
large amount of taxes annually into the
State Treasury, without thereby diminish
ing the State debt one dollar, is injurious
to their pockets then it is clear that Lo
cofocoism has departed from the line of
dt:ty, has been faithless todie people, and
orght to be ousted. Let every tax-payer
examine this subject for himself, and
when he goes next October to deposit his
vote, act in conformity with the result of
lus investigations.
THE PROGRESS OF IMPROVE
MENTS. There are those now living who re
ineniLer the time when the first turnpike
was made from Philadelphia to Lancaster.
The ccantry over which it passed being
vcl, the practicabiiityof such a work
'vs not doubted so much as the ability j
( i ihe company to raise the funds for its
vinplction, but when the project of ex
tending the road over the mountains to
Pittsburgh was started, many, it is said,
shook their heads very significantly and
t'ecbrcd the tiling could not be done.
"'-Vi t changes time will cflect! A little
over quarter of a century has passed a
way since the improvement of which we
:irc 5 peaking was commenced, and what
vlo w a now behold ! Turnpikes running
in ull directions,1 over raoun'ains and
through vallcvs Canals, extending thou-

at the same time he may get a message
from home and return an answer to it
from the shores of the Pacific in less than

"A LFTTLE MORE GRAPE."
In the heat of the battle of Buena Vis.
ta, Gen. Taylor was watching the effects
of Capt. Bragg s battery upon the enemy.
Capt. Bragg was showering balls into
their ranks, hut still they stood their
ground. "Give them a little more grape,"
said Gen. Taylor coolly, addressing him
self to the gallant Captain. The latter
immediately ordered the guns to be charg
ed with grape shot, and a few discharges
caused the Mexicans to falter. Another
and another followed in quick succession

For the Herald.
What are we Figrlitin? for?
The question which heads this article
is perhaps better answered by a Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun than any other authority that could
with safety be quoted. This , writer in
speaking of Mexico, says: '-She must
be whipped into good behaviour or held
in bondage till she can be civilized and
educated, and made a worthy associate of
the family of nations." . This oucc done,
an "alliance offensive and defensive, a'
gainst the future interference of Europe
an Powers on the American Continent"
is to be formed between her and the Uni
ted States; thus establishing a Continen
tal system for the two nations, on a plan
somewhat similar to that which binds to
gether the great Powers of Europe, gen
erally known as the "Holy Alliance."
The project thus shadowed forth by
one who is not known to hold an official
station at Washington, w as deemed so ab
surd and so inconsistent with the spirit of
the Constitution and the parting advice of
Washington, that but little credit was
given to t.ie statement at the time of its
first publication; but later developements
go lo prove that the writer knew what he
was saying, and that the purpose of the
Administration is, after all, not so-much
to punish the alleged insult offered to Mr.
Slidell or ta compel Mexico to pay the
instalments due the United Stales, as the
establishment of a "Continental Balance''
in the American Hemisphere- Such is
the legitimate inference to be drawn from
the article referred to, supported, as it
now is, by a somewhat similar statement
put forth by the Government paper at
Washington.
Then, it would appear, we are not
fighting for the redress of grievances
lized and educated, and made a "worthy
associate of the family of nations !" Our
duty, in the language of a cotemporary
writer, seems to be, "not only to sustain
our own freedom, but we are to see that
the Indians, Mulattoes, Mestizoes, and
Lazzaroni, from the Rio Grande to Cape
fIorr, are to be-end reraa'm independent."
self-government; and," lest somebody else
should undertake to govern them,: Mr.
Polk steps in and kindly 'offers to per
form that office himself. Tis a new
way to civilize a nation: killing off one
portion to protect the other, and at the
same time, by so doing, teach them good
manners! And why was the object of
the Administration so lonff concealed ?
Why assign a dozen other reasons for
commencing the war, and never the true
reason ? Was it not done under an ap
prehension, that if the purposes of the Ad
ministration were known and understood,
the people of the United States would
not be willing to risk their lires in the
conflict? .:: .. - '. '.:'.: ..
The reparation for insults offered by
Mexico to our Minister; her failure to pay
her instalments; her alleged design upon
Texas, and all the other paetexts set up
for commencing hostilities against her,
appear now to be all waived by the Ad
ministration, and the ground taken that it
is our duty to fight her under our
protection ! And this office has been
assumed by us voluntarily; there was not
a party in Mexico that asked our interfe
rence, though it is whispered about and
generally believed that there was a cer
tain Santa Anna out of Mexico, who
very much desired it, as it might enable
him to regain his lost power. Be this as j
it may, what has the nation to gain by
this war, now avowed to have been waff
ed for the safely and benefit of the very
people whom we are slaughtering ? Will
the guaranty of independence to Mexico
compensate us for the loss of thousands
of our citizens and the expenditure of
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and is
it certain that in keeping up a standing
army to protect the liberties of others we
do not endanger our own ?"

Dreadful Steamboat Explosion.
TWENTY LIVES LOST. !
The steamer Admiral arrived this mor
ning in port, and brings intelligence that
the steamer Edna, Capt. Philips, on her
way down from Ouachita, met ivith a
dreadful accident. On the 4th instant,
when opposite the town of Columbia, just
as she was starting from the wharf, all
four of her boilers exploded, killing twen
ty or more persons, and severely wound
ing several ' others. Amongst the killed
are Judge G. Mavo, of the lith Judi
cial District ; L. M. Duty, Claiborne
Parish ; A. G. Hill, Champognote, Ark. ;
Mr. O'Neill, and one person, name un
known, from South Carolina; J. II. Vass,
barkeeper ; James Poole, pilot, at the
wheel; Oliver Mushon, 2d engineer;
Austin Stigro, carpenter ; two deck pas
sengers and eight deck hands and - fire
men, names unknown ; also a gentleman
from Florida, supposed to be Air. A. M.
Jones. . t . "
The boat sunk immediately after the
catastrophe, and near every thing on
board was lost. Seventeen ot the bodies
have been found. Several of the wounded
have been brought to this city.
Dr. John B. lewis, of South Carolina.
for himself and William Evans andJ.
Stringer, does not hesitate to attribute
this diaaster mainly, to the : misconduct of
those havinjr charge of the boat. In a
letter to the Picayune he says :
"It presents another lamentable exhi
bition of that recklessness of conduct
which too frequently .characterizes those
individuals having charge of the lives and
property of the travelliug community.
This boat was under the charge, as I un
derstand, of the clerk, Mr. Johnson, and
the chief mate ; and the conduct of the
crew during her passage up and down the
river was the subject of conversation by
every one.'' They were evidently' in a
state of excitement, and were supposed
to have been under the influence f ardent
spirits. When she arrived at Columbia
many persons on shore remarked that
she would certainly blow up, such was
the peculiar whizzing sound escaping
from her, and which we heard before she
made the landing. Here we laid about
three-quarters ot an hour, during which
time not a particle of water had been
thrown into her boiler: and when she

Washington, June 21, IS47.
In a few words I will give you every
thing that is authentic in regard to a pros
pect of a speedy peace with Mexico.
Col. Sours took out with him instruc
tions to Gen. Scott lo this effect :' That
he was to organize, or aid in the organi
zation, of a Government de facto in the
city of Mexico, and make with it a treaty
accordinff to certain terras. This mes
senger was cut off, and his message ar
rested. But the same instructions have
gone through other channels.
There is no doubt that Gen. Scott
will rind means to make such a Treaty,
and with a temporary and revolutionary
powers But still Mexico is not a party
to it, and we may expect that one of its
stipulations will be that the American
forces shall be retained in Mexico, for the
protection of the peace party and peace
Government.
You can judge, as well as any one. of
the value of such a treaty. Remember
the Treaty in Spain with a Government
tie facto which placed Joseph Bonaparte
on the throne of Spain. The nation did
not concur in it. It was resisted by war
on the part of the nation, and resisted
successfully.
EMIGRATION OF HOLLANDERS.
The Rev. Mr. Scholte and family are
now at the Monongahela House in this
city. Mr. S. is the principal of an asso
ciation of Emigrants from Holland, con
sisting of from 1 GOO to 1800 in all, the
most of whom have already arrived in
this city on their way to the far west.
We believe they have not yet located
their lands, or certainly fixed their point
of destination. Their next point from
here is St. Louis.
This is a highly respectable body of
emigrants, bringing with them their pas
tor, Mr. Scholte, their teachers, physi
cian, printer, &c. and embracing in their
numbers all varieties of mechanics and
agriculturalists, with an ample money
capital to provide them lands and neces
saries in our new world. One cannot
but rejoice to see such accessions to the
moral as well as physical force of our
country. Pittsburgh American.
