C7Nothing gives surer or more satis
factory evidence of the political prospects
in this Stale than the exceeding bitterness
aad desperation in which the canvass is
conducted by our opponents. Like. men
conscious of the critical danger in which
tltev are placed, they eagerly clutch at ev
ery little trifle, connected or not with the
great issues legitimately belonging to the
present contest, which' can be distorted
tj misrepresentation or exaggeration into
any &iag like a charge against the Whig
candidates. Every thing is laid under
contribution; eB oseaas, fair and fouli it
ecems are to be resorted, toward off,
if possible, the expected disaster. The
Locofoco State Committee is busily in
dicting epistle after epistle to the faithful
throughout lite State the Locofoco Press
is made to teem with the most vindictive
assaults upon the character of our candi
dates while the mails throughout every
portion of the State are crammed with ex
tras, and circulars, and documents, con
taining the most bitter invectives against
the Whig party, and urgent appeals to
the "democracy" to rouse themselves to a
sense of "the iminent danger that threat
's the party in the Old Keystone Stale."
The ghosts of long forgotten and antiqua
ted issues "Alien and Sedition Laws,"
Blue light Federalism," "New England
Treason," "National Bank," 4Buckshot
War," "Gettysburg Tape worm, are
summoned from their graves to assist in
the work of arousing the lukewarm and
deterring the mutinous. But all, we ap
prehend, will not do. The people of the
country have suffered long enough from
Locofoco misrule, and have long enough
been insulted by the senseless slang with
v-liieh Locofoco leaders sought to dupe
and deceive tfccm, to be affected by these
desperate tricks of desperate gamesters,
otherwise than to regard them as the con
vulsive cflorts that always characterise
the last struggles of the doomed victim:
and the next election will give evidence
of a "Storm" still more disastrous in its
effects upon Locofocoisra than that which
last October made so sensible an impres
sion upon its leaders. Star & Banner.
Commendable Patriotism!- President
Polk insulted the dignity of the country
hy appointing his brother. Colonel W.
(H.l'elk, as Charge to the two Sicilies.
Jle werrtlo -Naples, stayed abroad long c
iiough to claim two year's salary the
outfit and infit amounting to some $15,

ty, came home suddenly has been draw
ing his salary since his return at the rate
rf S4500 per annnm, and has row re
signed his Ghargcship and been appoint
ed a Major of Dragoons! .. This some of
our contemporaries call Commendable
patriotism!' We could find another name
for it, much nearer the truth, were it not
ihat we feel much rejoiced to know that
ih diplomacy of or country will not a
ffain be turned into ridicule by his exhi
bitions of ignoranee on the Continent. He
nay make a very good dragoon, bat. he
was beneafh contempt as an official rep
resentative of our country abroad.-VorA
American and V, S-Gazette
-jTli first thing the Representa
tives should 3o, says the Boston Atlas,
wheat they meet iu Washington, in De
cember, is to demicd of the President
what he intends to accomplish by a far
ther prosecution of the war. lie should
be required to give an explicit tand cate
gorical answer to this inquiry, and, until
an answer is obtained, the . Whigs should
refrain from voting new appropriations
of money or new levies of men for the
war. The war must have some object,
and the object should Imj known. When
it is known, then the Whigs will under
stand precisely their position, and will
act accordingly. In his message, last
December, Mr. Polk said, "the object of
the war was riot one of conquest;' having
therefore, told s what the war was - not
for, let him iu December, tell what it is
for. If it is not for conquest, what ob
ject has it! It it has no object, or if it is
for conquest, the sooner it is stopped the
better. Wc take it that the people of
this country have no desire to continue
a war which yearly costs- thousands of
lives and millions of money, merely lor
the gratification of a personal spite, or for
an equally unworthy purpose, ngatmg
for the love of it.
SACRIFICE OF LIFE BY the WAIL
The officers of the army and those
who have the means of ascertaining the
loss sustained by our army since the com
mencement of the Mexican war, put it
down at twenty thousand men, whose
bodies mingle with the soil of Mexico.
The mortality of sacrifice of life at the
present time is estimated at fifty sol
diers a day! Think of this, ye advacates
of the war! Look at it, ye friends of
Peace! What trophies have we gained
for all this sacrifice of life? What shrieks
of lamentation cloud the glorious achieve
ments of our arms? What appalling mis
ery and woe is sent over the country to
brighten our national escutcheon? The
loss of life seems lost sight of by those
who do not taste of the bitter cup of af
fliction. The sacrifices of war seem
drowned in the glitter of the conquest.
Human beings are wiped from the face of
the earth with as little regard as insects.
But there are hearts that feel, and widows
and orphans that mourn as deeply as if
their fathers and husbands had died in
their midst. Pa. Tel.
No More Territory. The Rich
mond Whig concludes an article upon the
subject of the Wilmot Proviso, and the
danger it threatens to the stability of the
Union, with this admonition:
"It is for every lover of the Union
for every friend of his country for eve
ry true born American, to resist the intro
tJuction of more territory into the Union.
Let him make up his mind to stand by
the Union, and to submit to receive no
gift which will bring its continuance into
danger. Like the Trojan horse, this fa
tal gift of Mexican territory is fraught
with danger and death; like the unwary
Trojans, let us not break down die wall
and admit into the citadel. Let us repel
it, and those who offer it to us. Then
and then only can we be safe; then and
then only will we have done our duty to
the Union, to ourselves, and to mankind
in general, whose hopes are wrapped op
in the success of our great experiment."
What the People MEA.v.-The Mem
phis Egle, speaking of the large Whig
Majority in that city, holds the following
language:
"The vote of our city is a proud and
glorious achievement. Not as a mere
partisan triumph do we proudly recur to
it, but as a stern rebuke of an honest, dis
satisfied, chagrined, and indignant people,
who have frowned on an Administration
and its rulers whom they helped to elo
vate, for their wickedly involving the
nation in a prolonged jife and treasure
wasting I far, wholly uncalled for, and
disastrous to the best interests of the
nation, in every view that can be taken
vf it, as well as for their insolent, despot
ic, and infamous course in denouncing all
as traitors who dared to doubt the wis
dom and justice of the war. Wc do re
joice that Memphis has so nobly rebuked
the President a son though he be of her
own State soil."
The "Democratic Union" seconds the
denunciations of the Philadelphia Locofo
co papers hurled against A nti-Locofoco
mechanics employed in the Navy Yard.
Tint paper, Shunk's home organ, goes
for carrying out the Marcy doctrioc "to
the victors belong the spoils," -employ
or encourage in business none but Loco
focos. It says, "If we neglect our friends
when we have the power to serve them,
we must not he astonished if they falter
in the hour of trial." This taking care
of your friends has another object in
view. It looks to the making of votes
for Cov Shunk, by presenting to honest
but poor mechanics the alternative of vo
ting die Locofoco ticket, or being dis
charged. Lot every. Whig mechanic or
laborer spurn and defy such attempts to
tyrannize over him. Bucks Co. Int.
"Aid and Comfort." While Whig
Generals and Whig Volunteers are de
fcnding.our National Donor in Mexico,
aud trying to conquer a peace, the Wash
ington Union, Mr. Polk's petted, pamper
ed and pensioned organ, is cheering the
spirits of the enemy, by telling them al
most daily that part of our people sym
pathise with them. Who can doubt that
Past-Dictator Santa Anna would long ago
have abandoned the war as a loosing
game, had not the Union constantly whis
pered "aid and comfort" in his ear. Tell
Santa Anna that the Whigs -are the Mex
ican party, and. he will say that Scott,
Taylor, Worth, Cadwalader. Wynkoop,
and others have had 3 a curio as way of
showing their sympathy. North Amer

ADDITIONAL MEXICAN INTELLI
GENCE. ...
The additional intelligence received
from Mexico last evening presents a more
intelligible and connected view of events
than the previous accounts. The causes
which led to the armistice, and by what
parties suggested, leave no ground for ap
prehension that Gen. Scott was induced
to propose a suspension of arms from ne.
cessity, on account of die smallaess of his
force, reduced by two sanguinary engage
ments. The agency of the British Lega
tion in the matter, while it thus clears up
this doubtful part of the transaction, fur
nishes increased assurance of a pacific re
sult. Millions of small green frogs have ap
peared in St. Lawrence county, N. Y.
They cover the road from Plattsbtirg to
Cumberland Head, and thousands are
crushed by the wheels of passing wagons.
