this 1 svil s. y, that he who can look 14 the
.wOndert i l h. ppy effecter, domestic and foreign
which, in a single year*■ trial, have flowed .
from the tar: ir of 1846, and yet be angry with
the tooting , sle, is, to say the best of him,
very inacc • isible to the feelings Of patriot
ion.
Our hori on is dimmed but by a single,
small cloud :o small as in no respect to have
obstructed t e general prosperity to which l•
' have referred.. It is nevertheless a cloud on
which the political pilot must keep a wary
eye. It is the Mexican war. Under any air
cumitancee war is " ' calamity, to be avoided
whenever i can be avoided consistently with
safety and honor. It , demoralizes society,
breaks into he domestic relations and private
pursuits of ife, inspires 'inebriation passions,
and eats cie the natural and regular resources
of govern rat. It is especially hostile in its
tendency republican and siniplednstitutioes
and habits. Still, this calamity must sowe
,tiines be en wintered. With all its evils, it
is a hundre fold better than national dishon
or. Howe er bitter and poisonous it way be
it Is purifying.nectar compared to the loath
some• and n xious drug of cowardly disgrace.
Out' war w I forced upon us by a presumptu
ous, perfidi its, end' invading - neighbor. it is

protect our soil, the lives and property, of our,

Let us not Ito alarmed at any matter which
,b mover, apparently portentous, Is exclusive
ly to be controlled by the Amerietut people.
They.are a ,just and a wine, people. ',They
have entera into the national compact - , and
will maintain its obligations, in the strictness
of the letter and the fullness of the , spirit!—
They have - long felt, and well know, not
merely the benefits,. but the positife political
necessity of the Union.
There are some questions of public and so
cial order which the framers of the 'constitu
tion and the people of the respective States
who ratified it, never intended to ,suhrnit. and
have not submitted, to the decision eta con
gressional majority. Had they donti so, the
wholesome sectional equipoise and the essen
tial sovereign equality of the members of the
confedercy would, at once, have been made
to yield to the spirit and power of consolida
tion. Whatever a congressional majority his
a right under the provisions of the conetitu
lions to legislate upon, that is- a matter' to
which the American people have agreed to
apply the principle, and bear the consequences
of consolidation;' what his been withheld
'front the action of a congressional majority,
that is beyond its reach—reserved either to
the respective States or the people.
Sill to my mind, the whole character of the
constitution, Must be changed before you can
discern in ;it's communication, express or im
plied, of a power to Congress to mould, mod
ify, change, - establish, or prohibit, actually or
prosPeelivelY;,the domestic relations of any
piiitran ofthe American people. Such a pow
er rests with the people themselves - alone; it
is the vitality and inalienable 'right of self
government. '
I cannot yield my assent to - the broad pre
tension that the "power to dispose of and
I make all needful rules and regulations re
speetiag the - territory, or other property, be
longing to the United States"—a power given
by the constitution to Congress—involves any
authority 'whatever to deprive the people of
territories of every right, mid - subject them
absolutely to the will of the majority of that
body. This conspitutional clause bears sole s ,
ly upon eopperty, upon naked land. •If the-,
territory,be tenanted by men, and - especinlly
N-f.,,those men have already their civil institu
tions and their domestic relations, and, still
more strongly,, it that territory has come to
us, covered with established societies, by con
quest or purchase, I cannot for an instant in
dulge the extravagant construction of this ar •
• tide which would empower Congress to ex
tinguish the privilege ofself-government, and
to do precisely with she local communities
what it pleased. At - that rate, we might, one
OS these days, be shoaled, by an act or Con

Emigration. •
Emigration to this c nintry this year has
Ibeen tinrecedented. The thickly populated
countriec
of the old world has, poured out
their thousands and tens of thousands upon
our shores, and the cry is still they come'.—
So extensively has this fever ° ._for emigration
raged that we have seen it stated that whole
districts in some of the German states have
been depopulated—villages en mass have
rushed to our shores and sought wealth and
freedom in the far west. Well, let them
come! We have room , enough for them all.
Wer'have forests to subdue, prairies to culti
vate; swamps to drain, rail roads to build, ca
nals to dig, wars to tight, and a vast region in
the far west to explore and bring under culti
vation. In all these departments the emi
grants from the old - world have proved them
selves equally qualified. in nine cases out of
ten they make sober acid industrious citizens,
and besides the wealth they add to the' coun
try by their productive industry, they in nine
cases out of ten, :-bring with them a goodly
supply of ready money. 'We have been led
to these remarks by noticing in one of our
exchanges an account of a settlement of Hol
landers in `the new county of Marion, lowa.
About eight hundred have - already located
there, and many more are- expected in the
Spring. They left Holland on account of po
litical and religions persecution. They have
purchased two townships, 40,980 acres.—
Many of theta are wealthy, well ducated and '
intelligent, and ore of a bettei class than
some of our foreign emigrants. The presi-
dent of this Association of Settlers is a man
of education and intellect. He was a student
at the.LeydenUniversity at the time of the
Belgian Revofuticin, amid took an active part
in that event.- ITO is an : outlier of ?several
works, and edited a periodical at Utrecht,
where he was persecuted and imprisoned on
accout 011ie !diesel views._ ' Near Lwo hun
dred of . these Hollanders declared their inten
tions to imcome,citizens of the United, States
at thelake term of the Marion County Court.
They arc generally very attentive to business
and accumulate properly when other scarce
gain aeubsistence; but tbeyaro sometimes too

its opposition to this; we i can therefore moll
readily trace the connection between the Fed

trust will still continue to do so, the requisi

these reasons combined, Loutsiaaa; Florida,

the queltion now arises, shall such acquisi

the present war, has laid herself liable, ac

already, in anticipation of such - an event, the'',

PENNSYLVANIA, ottrzoAL.
We are enabled thie4Fielic ',to' prose
readeia with the official teault,of the election
in this State.. The returns, says the Pitts
burgh Post, present some curious relbilts.—
The whole vote for Governer, in the State, is
about 30,000 less than 1844; and the falling
uirt has been very general. In Armstrong,
Cambria, Carbon, Schifylkill and York coun
ties, the lute Vas increased on both aides.—
In Centre, Clinton,Potter, Venango and Wy
oming, the Democratic vote has been partially
increased, arid the Federal tote diminished;
while .in Pike county, there are 28 votes for
Gov. Shunk, beyond the vote of 1844, and Mr.
Irvin has received the exact number then cut
fur Gen. Markle.

TICE GAZETTE ON NATIONAL POLIT — IO3 ---
A recent number of the Gazette cont fined an
article on "National Politics," which Osumed 1
such strange ground, and withal conteined eo '
many absurbities and contradictions hat we
cannot refrain from devoting a few words in
noticing it. The writer seta out wit h the ex
pression of belief "that some of the qt l lotions
Which have- heretofore agitated the `popular
mind in national contests will here Ifret1 fret be
measurably superseded by other que tions of
more immediate and pressing import a nce."—
Meaning, we presume, that hereafter the ques
tions of protection, hank- distribution and op
polition to the Independent Treasury r will be
abandoned. True, the writer does e out
rittli
to say that "protection to home indusiy" will
not be lost sight of, but everf one can see
that all enthusiasmin its advocacy Chas van
ished before the practical benefits ofrevenue
tariff, like the mornintrniit before t e rising

notion—that war with all its rigor JJJ & its evils,
shall be forced upon them, and that if nego

to this, the Washington Union, peaking we
doubt not by the card, says that the war must
now go on till Mexici shall -ask

that the next °vent+ ' for peace. must come
