undeistand that they have entered the modern
SiiaMl ,For. this reason, in all their writings
the first thing they talk of is religion, the .t.r
spect due to the ministers of the ultar, &.a.;
and f r this reaen it was that Worth, the
day f illowing 'his entrance, dressed himself 1
in a rand uniform, and, accompanied by his
stall; went to visit our illustrious prelate.—';
The yonversation turned, as was to be ex-
pected front the acute old Yankee N upon the i
law of mortatain; he spoke of the impolicy of
that cdsposition, which he designated by tire
epithets of "barbarous," "unjust," and "inju
riousto religl'en on," ns we ourselves do. This
softer ed the I e of our bishop; who was
high) ssitisEd with the religion of the afore

said yankee; and mon'', he immediately re- i
turned the visit;, and did other things of which
I shall •speak hereafter. Not 'content' with_
this, Werth gave orders that all Iris soidiera iiiii
shout pay honors to the clergy; and thus it
: is, tit t we see the ,crowd of drUnkards that
Wee us pay a respect to the priesthood
wind they refuse to their own officers.—
More yet; even yesterday I saw, with, the ,
greatest surprise, a general, with an extreine-ii,

evidences of that formidable, fearful opposi
tion to the advances of Gerf."Scott, the appre
hensions of.which, for the last day or two so
alarmed the nerves Of some 'of the more sensi
tive of 'our.cotemporaries. -The same unset
tled, indecisive, neutralizing policy, seems to
prevailat rho Capital, -which has so long been
characteristic of Mexican. policy. We hear
nothing of those thirty thbusani of an army,
which- with a valor equalled only try that evio
eed by the troops of a celebrated King of
Prance, who marched up and down an emi
urnee—were marching out to attack - and tut
mhilate Gen. Scott in his quarters at Puebla.
Santa Anna, it denis, however ambitious
he may be to play the &cutter, is rather shy
in proclaiming his preference, he appears to
think ,that as he can getalong; though mius
half hiS isuuderztanding," he can keep the
Government Moving, though resting on a frac
tion of a ministry.
Wan.—The files before us contain
full reviews of the opinions - of the different
newspapers throughout the country, which
numbe? , about twent . t, aul with but one single
exception (in Durango) they ire all fully in
favor of the War.
THE DICTATORSIIIi%---El Monitor Republi
can° of the 12th ult.lcontains a lengthy arti
cle on the subject °lithe Dictatorship. Up to
that date Santa Anna was not proclaimed,
not had he proclaimed himself Dictator. In
_deed, the Monitor ridiculed the idea that; he
designed to become one. The rumor to that
1 effect which prevailed in the Capital, is al
leged to have originated with and, been prop
agated by his enemies and the enemies of
the country.
No Cit Argon or Pomer.—The }Monitor as
serts that the new Cabinet is not to be entire
ly formed of Pores, (Dihnocrats„) ,as stated in
„sonic of the journals, and that the new Min
i inters will carry out the policy of their prede
! cei , sor t i. Santa Anna - thinks that without a
full Ministry—with the Ministers of war and
Finance, together with clerks in the Bureau
of Foreign Relations—he Will be lable for the
tile ()Aug to carry on the Government.
omtess.—Congress met at ihe Capital
at ast on the 10th, and the propo6itiun of i
de
claring a recess, was lost by ono vote.
Tun Peace TARTY.—EI Razonador, the
peace paper, says. that it has recommended
peace only because it is convinced 'that the
Government would nor could not carry on the
war, but at the same time it approves Santa
Anna's withdrawal -of his resignation, and
praises him very much, saying that he is the
only man in the country who eau keep alive
the war spirit.
Tug PREMDIitiCY.--The Legislature of
Aguascalientes had given its vote to Gm. Al

Neither helplAs infancy,'or decrept old age,

'Op the E ery day, that the. : . above infamous
sentiment was uttered in he halls of. Con

of Ohio, and a candidate for the Presidency,
Francis R.. jileink, Governor -of,this‘ State,

A Sot.rnsa rauu WARS.—We met by
accident, a few days ago, a wounded soldier
from the fearful field of ? Buena Vista. He
walked with difficulty and with pain—for his
wound had been as severe as his gallantcy
had hee) daring. Wherever the shots fat
thicicest—wherever the blows fell fastest
his white plume might be seen towering in
the adVance., Such a man has a. rigid to
( e (
speak of the,friends middle opponents of the
war; and w Wish the languagticif the intrepid
hero could taste been heard tar and wide.—
Ile, said th t the course of th e federal party.
in dettopne lig the admi,nistration, and in ob
structing the war, was the main obstacle in
I the way ofn prompt and an t honorable peace.
He declared that the speeches of such men as
Corwin and other oppositio» leaders did more
than any thing.else jo encourage the Mexi
cans, and that these speeches, aided by the
efforts of the federal press, had completely
succeeded-in poisoning the popular mind in
Mexico against this country, or rather
1 against the dethocratic party, and that the
f leaders there looked forward to a period, n'w
I not far diStant, when a peace would to made
that would be perfectly satisfactorrto them.
Ile repeated that these facts were daily oper
ating most powerfully upon - the army, and
would pot fail eventually to produce the most
importikt,effects upon the volunteers; Of
course it is out of our power to give thll name
of this gallant soldier. He spoke wartnly'and
bitterly of these things, because he'l4il him

COL. DONIVIAN AND llla MEN.—The New
0 leans National thus describes theni: Col.
D.niphan is a man of giant frame, of that
to , e carriage peculiar to the West, that de
cives the eye as to proportion and strength.
.
e can imagine that his gigantic arm must
hese wielded'his huge sabre: innAhe i 6 heat of
battle With a force that not only StrucAr down
his foe, butfitoralty annihilated him; that each
s4ccessive sweep, opened wide avenues for
hi's advance, as did Cortez among the !crowd

ance; piece meal, the ill-made clothing of th°
volunteers has fallen .from." them,- and they
have supplied its.placfrwith what,chanee and
the wild beasts of New Mailer; have thrown
in their way: Their sunburnt faces, grizzly

The "Nationalintelligerledr,'l and its friends
in the 'Senate, predicted; nothing' but niti
from its operation. But what says the editor
of the "American?'' .
"From Lowell, we proeeeded up the_ valley
of the Mer4imackriver to, litisfunt, 14 miles
above and! frourthence to M anchester 18
miles still further up. Lowell, l Nashan, and
Mancl . t6ter, are three of the , largest menu

• A fete days before tve left Brookville, hav
ing been called upon in the streets for our op
inions of the Tariff, we replied that we were
.satisfied to let the Tariffof '4 remain. The
country wanted stability in th a matter. The
people and manufficturersiden ended a perma
nent settlement of this vexed question.. • With,
the present tariff, the manufacturers were
prospering; and if the Democratic, party
would retain the present tariff; the whigs, for
the sake of peace, should let it remain us iti
was. - We are non) more fully confirmed ini
that opinion. We have seen things lately
that have opened our eyes a little wider, but"
the way in whiOr it was' obtained, it shoutttj
not be published in the streets of Askaloir"
The editor wraps himself up in mystery
_for
fear his revelation of the efficiency of the Tar
iff of 1846 might subject the advocates of the
Tariff of 1842 to ridicule or indignation.—
Therefore, he determines to "keep ckirk" as, to
all the facts and results which he collect
ed in his tour.—Waskitigtou P . nion.

Ruxstxr; piton Orxren.—The New Orleans
Daily National sayS "among thd vi nnteers
in Col. Doniphan's command, was young
man who enlisted to 'keep front run 'tkie for
the Afiesouri Lrgislature. This] gave um
brage to his'constituents and his name was
put up, and he was elected by a unanimous
WO. The unfortunate individual, who thus
had honors thrust upon him, while marching
in slow time with his musket on his shoulder
over in Santa Fe, is saldenlysiisturbed by the
APpearance of an express from the executive
of Missouri, demanding of Col. Doniphan on
pens and penalties if neglected, the body of,
the member elect of the Missouri Legislature
now a volunteer in his regiment. The Col.
as a military man, is obliged to obey his com
mander-in-chief; so he ordered the legislator
out of the ranks, and told him that he must
foot it buck, under a: g.iartl, to Missouri, wil
liiagly if he would, or chained as a prisoner.
The representative vented imprecations upon
1 his constituents, and upon his,sovereign state
and took the blek track home, perfectly dis
gusted t'ith his popularity at the polls. An
other private in Col. Doniphan's command,
now in California, has been elected to Con

AN OLD SOLDIELL—Th6 . oId veteran noticed
in the following paragraph from the Cincin

TIM WHEAT CratP.—So far as we havebeen
able to learn, the wheat crop promises miff in
this territory. It has greatly improved inttp
pentane° within a few' weeks; and many
pieces which a short time since it was thought
wduld hardly pay for harvesting now bid fair
for an average yield. In this part of the coun
try, particularly, the crop, we are told, never
looked better. It has not only acquired a
fine growth, but is remarkably unitOrm and
healthy in appearance. We regret to,learn
Walworth and Waukesha counties,. the
Hessian Fly is doing considerble damage to
the crop. In some other sections of the coun
try,evidences of the same insect are visi
ble, though the mischief it has already done,
is not believed to be sets.
The Milwaukie Sent!? el and Gazette esti
mates that the exports from the growing crop
will reach 1,000,000 bushels. We think the
figure rathPr'high, ultl+ugli it may be reach
ed, should the ,season ,continue favorable.—

Chicago Convention
It will no d.ubt gratify the friends of a ju
dicious system of Ha'rborlind River improve
ments, to learn that the deliberations of the
Chicago Conkunioi were, in the main, s r b
harmonious, and that the declaration of sen
timent submitted by he committee and adop
ted unanimouly by he Convention, embody
principles and sentiments in which all can
unite. We can truly say, we arc rejoiced,
inasmuch as• it' is more than wa exp6cted.—
FrA the time we left home until the Conven
tion met in the afternoon of the second day,
we heard but one opinion expressed. and that
was that it would end in political wrangling
and break up in a row. And on our return
we found this to be the general opinion at
horn . When the Convention adjourned at
12 o'clock on Tuesday, every thing indicated
that this fear would be realized; but happily
better counsel prevailed, and in the afternoon
a betterfeeling was Imanifested on the part of
our whig - friends. ,The result was a concil
iatory speech from Illr. Lincori,,whig member
of Congress_ elect, frim the late Col. Hardin's
district in Illinois, the passage of a resolution
condemning the treatment a democratic speak
er had received at the hands of It portion of
the Convention in the morning, and finally
the introductionsed l adoption of the "Declar
ation of Sentiment,l l to be found in another
column. We trust and lielk these proceedings
will have a beneficial influence, and tend to
•unite all on one common ground.

Gen. Taylor's Posltlpn
A recent letter,of pen. Taylor to the editor
of the Cincinnati ignal, has thrown a por
tion of the whig party into consternation and
- dismay. In this letter the old General repu
diates their.efrorts to make him their candi
date, and utterly refuses to lend himself , to
their schemes for power and plunder. They
call the letter a "forgery," . a "locofoco trick,"
"miserable twattle," and the like. Even our
neighbor of the Gazette is disposed to call it a
forgdry, although he hopes, and indeed knows,
that it is not. Wb shall publish "this letter
in our next ! as Mee r another to a gentleman

But to return—the day was ushered in by
the firing of cannon and other demonstrations
usual on such eccisions. The fire:compa
nies were outot an early hour in their,holiday
costumes, their engines decked out with ever
greens, flags, ribbons, and one I noticed, with
two beautiful girls, of sweet sixteen, seated
3 1 arbor in front of the engine: It was a
iiiful simile. Besi the engine march
lie dark bowed and lardy fireman, ready
I
efil life and limb in efence of the home
fireside, of which 41 e young girls seat
the arbor were a , atitiful illustration.
n o'clock the differet t companies, milite
i d fire, societies, May r and council, cler
ic., had assumed t eir position as laid
by the pro; ramm f the eommittee,of
gements, an by el .ven the delegations
the ‘ different States, under, their respec
