NEW ROUTS TO THE Paciric.,--A writer in
a late number of t ;the "Union" states that a new
and safer and more expeditious write for the
transportation of stored to the waters of the
PacifiC, thin any now used r can be available
by way of the Rio Grande. Steamboats now
ascend with ease that river to Lariada, 700
miles above the Gulf of Mexico, as has been
proved in years past, and during the last year
by a steamboat expedition ,sent up this river
by General Patterson; and at 100 miles high
er up, where General Wool creased, near the
town of Presidia deltio Grande, the depth of
water v(tas E 4 feet; and this depth continues
all the way up to the city of Albuquerque,
within a day or two's travel of Santa Fe; and.
Irani this neighborhood, it has bemfascertain
ei that the distance overland to the navigabli,
waters of the Gulf of CaliOnia, (the Ri.
Colorado) is but 200 miles, which would brin
usto tha waters of the Pa cilicto th ( e-gents of
Guayama, Monterey, San Pra cisee,Astbrid.
Thus, through.the medium of this coute,jittle
land travel will be necessary, not exceeding
400 miles, (by leaving the river lower down)
and through a well.settled region, wheie pro
vieionej coal, 6tc., are plenty, i and no' danger
from the attack of Indians. The writer says:
"In connection with this ronte, a very im

ANOTHER SHOWER-BATH FOR THE

Capt. Marshall in the words of the Enquirer's
irespondent, went farther than he'that went
faf4st, in sustaining his country andtthe ad
nunTstration in the prosecution of this_ war.
I , as not a war of Mr. Polk's—it was a war
ortlre country, by its vote in electing .Mr.
Polk—that was the tnain issue between the
two great political purties at the last election;
and when, by the act of Mexico, hostilities
had actually commenced, the. country; by a
singuiar unanimity of the Legislature, passed
a vote to raise 30,000 men to proseepte it with
vigor. How, then, could this be Mr. Polk's
war? 'Capt. Marshall was for taking the
whole of Mexico, and holding/all we took.—
Could England object to it"? No! Every
inch of Territory held by England, beyond its
own island, was held by the right of conquest
—and that, by the laws of nations, - Was the

A PILL FOR FEDERALISM.
.
Cul. Henry S.‘Lane, of Indiana, a talented
Federal, who has recently returned home
from Mexico, delivered an eloquent and patri
otic speech at Crawfordsville, a few days
ago, to a very large concourse of citizens.--
In the course of his remarks he alluded to the
speech of - Senator Corwin, of Ohio, upon the
Mexican war, in the following language:
"it is the emanation of a master mind, but
the eloquent language in which i't is elotheci
cannot conceal its detiniing treasdh!" 10
speaking -of the men who reluied.to vdte sup
plies to the warworn soldier, he said "disgrace
two' inWaYaVefir - -'—""-- I ' - ' -- "--
, :: C6l. Lane also 'declared that on the reeep
4101110f Mr. Corwin's speech in Mexico, the
Ohib troops not 'only burnt the speech butt al-.
so te author in effigy.
1
'e can easily imagine tie feelings -of the
bra 'e men who, while pert ing their lives in
the r country's poisonous hit *ht nt hine. it
has ever been thus. 'ln eve - war in which
. WO have been engaged, the leaders of the Fed
eral party have uniformly deuounced.the war,
and those engaged in it; they have invaria
bly placed pur o!.vn country in the wrong,
and our national foe in the right. Can true
patriots. support a party which support suph
men?
, •
An army correspondent writing from Buena
Vista . on this subject says—
, “As you will doubtless suppose. much ex
citement prevailed among the volunteers and
especially those from Ohio, when the unpa
triotic and anti-American speech of Senator
CorlOn was read—and they gave utterance .
to their feelings of contempt for the roan, and
indignation at his Mexican sentiments, by
groans andthisseslfrom every soldier present
while, the devouring flames were consuming.

ANOTHER SHOITHR BATH TO WHIGGPALT.
The Wayne County Democrat contains the
toasts drank at the public dinner in Wooster
given to. col. Curtis i and the volunteers of the
third Ohio regime l n. Colonel Curtis's speech
roust have been a bitter pill to his Whig
friends. He sustained the war—sustained its
'proseCution—chargod its commencement on
Mexico--denied that this is a war
,to extend
slavery, but said Slavery would, from natural
causes, be eircumVented by it—that the mass
of the Mexicana were in little better condition
thanqhe slaves of the south, if as good. He
dee iea that we con id make pence by withdraw '.
iv our army; it must be done by teaching
the enemy to respect our rights. : Opposition
here, among our people,. to a vigorow,i prose
cution of the war. would only lead the 741exi
cans to suppose that they could obtain peace
- o - n - better terms-, &c.
FROM VAR Pt./ans.—Several volunteers re
turned to the city on Saturday last; they bring
a number of letters, but nothing of interest
in tiddition to what we have already publitdied.
From thu reports brought in by this party,
it is probably that Kit Carson, who was go'-
ing out with despatches to California, had lost
all his horses and mules. Our informant met
him near the 'Pawnee Rock, and aftM.wards
heard frein a party who said they had passed
him the day following, that his mutes and
horses hatl.all been stolen the night preyious.
From Cersoreu.weli-kdown knowledge of the
woods and •fiuniliarity with the Indian ;char
acter, we are-disposed to doubt the correct
ness of the report. Yet so adroit and daring
have been-the attacks of - these Indians, that
we shall not be surprised, if it ttirt4 put to be

his na:ne and fame will live in the memories

tide so entirely with our '9%im views, that ilia ,
, cannot refrain front condensing them, (they

WM
The Post assumes as a settled point that a
National Convention will he called to nbnii
nate candidates for President-and Vice PrCs
dent, aMi remarks'that the nly point to he
considered . is in what manna it shall be ion-
dered harmonious--embracin the whole coun
try. Shall we . line a new test, which is as
much iv‘ iiig as democratic, and defines no line
between the two great parties, or shall . we
abide by the well defined positions and the set-•
tied landmarks of democracy? We agree
with the Post in repudiating this new.test—
this &clique of the Wilmot Proviso—which
a few, and we,rejoice to sal-but a few, of our
Democratic cotemptimries appear so anxious
to mix up with its deliberations. It is but a
short time since this'question Was first broach
ed, yet .were we to'believe half we-,read, and

Demo
cratic policy. But when we'sk how and at
what time it became snlits advo atm, are #ureb.
We cannot find it in the corn remises of the
f
constitution—not in the,cree s of Jefferson,
Madison ? or Jackson; not in the resolutions or
any democratic national - convention, nor in
any division betweep the Democratic and fed
eral parties, - from the days of John Adams and
the black ceekade until nevi. It was no test.
of democracy when Missouri was admitted.:
It was no test when TeXas was annexed to
the Union ..r has it been applied to the! ad
mis: r of any state into full fellowship With
the old thirteen, Then. it can i be nol t settled
principle of 'the democratic party,' aria ought
not to enter into the deliberations of a nation
al convention.' It is merely a question or ex
pediency, or rather we should say, a sectional
question, which if persisted in will Produce
heartburnings and jealousies between the north
and south, and result in no good to the Union.
The Democratic party—iind when we l isay the
democratic pa ty, e mean not of one s/ct;ion,
state or. town, b the Union—will be slow
I
to incorporate a dogma of this 'character in its
creed. They will not; become abolitionists
for the purpose of securing abelitimi votes,L
neither will they { inctirporate nativism; for the

with its past history. ilia our party Can 'roi
ly exist so long as its principles and meastires
'embrace the whole Union. This has been the
distinguishing rule of democracy, and. ;the
giand secret of its success. The federal,.inir
ty have se cret
sobsisted on sectional divis
ions, side ilssues Mid third parties. ';heyi ar
trying it again noW,(taid especially, will the
labor for it if they get the control of ,a mlijor
ity of the states in; the next congress. The
Wilmot provil l t' l il ono' of these sectional
tests, and why' should the democrats adopt it?
It is a side issue, rind why - should westep a s ide
to engraft the new shoot on the old democratt
ic stock? It Is an abstract proposition, hav
ing no practical application, and leading to
no result but Sectional division and disunion,
and why should the demcre t rats take up a half
whig and whole abolition measure and waste
their strength upon it,,by: beating the air in
metaphysical disquisitioni, and the balancing
of posibilities and probabilities in future le
gislation': -- .
...
There is also behind all this a great funda
mental principal of government, which is the
Corner stone of democracy—the right or • the
people to establish, frame aalter their own
4!i
forni of government. In ach of the states
this :isan absolute right. ow can.congres
interfere with it? Pennsylvania has theri i ght
to establish slavery by her constitution, if the"
people say so, and amend it accordingly. 'Do
we- want an abstract proposition that slavery
shall never be established in the free' states?
Would that limit or circumscribe a state right.
at all? Clearly not. Can the same proposi
tion applied to new states be any more bind
ing? If congress were to admit a state on
the condition that its constitution should ex
clude slavery, the next convention of the peo
ple in that state could change the constitution
and introduce that:element. .4
is
Of what possible avail, then, could it be to
agitate the Wilmot proviso in a national con
ventikni The whigs would rejoice to see us
divide on that abkraet 'issue. • They know
that the union of the democracy is the success
of democracy, in every presidential election.
They are trying to carry the north one Way
and the south another, on this same issue of
anti-slavery in - the states, just as they tried
to carry bank and anti-bank, high tariffs'and
free trade. The result has alwayxbeen the
discomfiture of the federal party, solely be ,
cause it has 'been a sectional and never a na
tional part). The old federalists tried' it in
‘
the Hartford convention in 1814, here polit
ical abolitionism first originate . d in that fa
mous proposition to deptitruthe st'uth of slave
enumeration in national representation. All
that has followed since in the like vein and all
that is now proposed are but incidents of that
main proposition, which bad its origin id the
jealousy Of the federal party of the. north
agaigst the democratic party of the south. It
failed they, •when there were but about half the
states that now comprise the Union /. Can the
deinocratic party succeed now in 'What the
federalists failed in then) Should we - not
