TIIR BOUNDA,RY uF Tnxss.—Friday's Union, says
the Richmond Enquirer, contains an admission from
an official source in Mexico, which must forever
prostrate the Whig leaders and prisses, who would
dishonor and degrade their own country, by the un
just and unfounded assertion; that the war with
Mexico was produced by marching our army to the
Rio Grande. In ,the article below, it will be seen
'that Mexico ofilciallay announces that, since April,
1836, the country between the Nueces and the Rio
Grande has been evacuated, and "the intermediat
space absolutely free"—and that, for twelve years,
"the intention of making the Bravo (the Rio Grande)
a limit, has been announced by the clearest signs."
We oak attention to the - passages italicized--and
trust that, hereafter, no American will be found bold
or unpatriotic enough to assail his own country for
occupying, a territory which Mexico herself admits,
was-the true and Legitimate soil,of Texas a sover
eign State of the Union:
"Among the public documents contained in the
Sigle,----the official organ of Mexico,—is a portion
of the "Exposition addressed to the 'supreme goy
ernment by the commissioners who signed the trea
ty of peace with the United States." The commis
sioners, in justification of the cession , of California
and New Mexico, say truly, that the only effect of
the treaty was to put in writing what was previous
ly fully accomplished by arms; inasmuch as Califor
nia . and New Mexico were already in the possession
of the U. States, and Mild not be reconquered by
Mexico, and that, in truth, inasmuch as the Ameri
can forces actually occupied. in addition, the States
of-New Leon, Tamaulipas, Vera CrWz, Puebla and
Mexico, and most ,of the seaports of the Aepublic,
"the treaty In ight more properly be called one of re
cupeiation than of cession," so far us concerns the
territory of the Mexican republic. There is a pas
sage in this "Exposition," regarding the true limits
of Texas, which deserves to be noted.
4 •The intention," says the commissionds,• "of
rnaking the Liravoa limit, has been announced by the
dearest signs for the last twelve years; and it would
have been impossible aqthe present day to change it.
.After the defeat of San Jacinto, in .April, .1836,
that was the territory which we stipulated to !Tacit
ate, and which we accordingly did evacuate, by
Lark on Alutamoras. In this place was after
wards stationed what was called the Army of the
Xorth; and though it is true that expeditions, and
incursions have been made there even as far as Be
jar, we have very soon retreated, leaving the inter
mediate space absolutely free. In this state Gener
al Taylor found it, when, in the early part of last
year, lie entered there by order of his Government."
Taw:tutu or Jonx C. CALHOUN AND JOTS TT LER.-
, --The nomination of Gen. Taylor-by the Whig:, is
a great tritium') for Mr. Calhoun and ex-President
Tyler. Mr. Calhoun, we learn, has labored hard
for the result and the few Tylerites i in this city are
in eXstacies at it. It is not a triumph of the South
—of constitutional rights of the States—but a real
triumph of the Blarery Propagandist! The poor
whig iDonglifitea of the .North Who were silly
enough to believe their leaders, are in a pretty pickle
just now. The more honest of that party among,
us look blue enough, and many of them are like the
army that 'swore terribly in Flanderr.' ."
This state of things is worth thousands of votes
to the Democratic - party, and will itisure the State43lohio by a large majority. The ditisatisficd tvhigs
will hold a State Convention here n the 21st ird
22d inst., and make a new electorial ticket.-o.'do
-Statesman.
THR PROFREV; OF' 608.-411 the
course of an eloquent oration delivered before tie
Democracy of the First Congressional District, on
the 4th of July, by Wm. E. Lehtnnn, Esq., the fol
lowing allusion was made to our candidate for the
Presidency, Gen. Lewis Cass: "Lewis Cuss is a
living example of the progress of man. In this
country the path to honorable fame is open to all.—
The avenues to elevated distinction lead as well from
the dwelling of the humble ns the mansion of the
proud.
That man who has been selected_ by the great
Democratic party of the Union to wear the highest ;
lionuks that human suffrages can bestow, was once
; a poor lone boy, Avho crossed lir...Alleghenies on
foot, with his staff for his support, so seek his for
tones
in the wilds of the far West, with it single
dollar in his pocket and a bundle ttiion his back; but
having a priceless treasure in his bosbm—the order
and legion of an American nobleman—a b o ld and
honest heart throbbing with high hOpes and fired
with the genius and spirit of progressive Democra,
.cy.
"The broken sword at Detroit and the glory which
,he won in the border war, attest the Chivalry of his
youth;'while his gallant klefeuce of the freedom of
the seas, his bold position ;on the Oregon question,
and his fearless vindication of his county in the Mex
ican- war, show •that."
"Old age ne'er cooled the Doufrlas blood."

'therefore be no matter-of surprise if firdge McLean

convention to assemble here in August-t•—•-
JUI , OIi McLHAN.,--It is - rumored, in certain ,Orr
cies, that Judge McLean has agreed to accept a nom
ination for the Presidency to be made by the Buffa
lo Contention. This rimier, we have nn doubt, is
altogether groundless. Judge McLean. has been
rabsent on the Circuit for several weeks but. we do
not believe' he has done or said anything to encour
age those engaged in the third party movement to
expect the aid of his name; nor do we believe he will,
in any xvny, identify himself with their Orgailization.

I { A SHOWER BATH FOR THE BRAGGING TATLOR MEN.
—The follov.ing seleCt t ontenees are from the speech
of, Wm. COST JOHNSON, delivered at the New York
Taylor meeting, on the 22d of February, as the said
speech v.as'reported in the New York papers, viz:
1:•-•'"The Whigs are in a minority in the nation.
,The Whigs were signally rooted ut the last elec
tion,,and if they had even curried Neu , York, they
would have gained t i tle election by but three-'i - otel,
•and now the Democratic States of Texas, lowa,'.
Wisconsin, and Florida, have come in to throw tke
. NVltigs into a minority with New York on. Their
•side. If they could get ati the States which they
got before—which I regard as IMPOSSIBLE: and
' were xo carry New York beSides, they .*ould still
be in a minority of twelve electoral votes! But to
suppose an impossibility, assume that such a Whig
could be elected, then he would be in a minority in
Congress—surely in the Senate—for the Democrats
have now a majority of fourteen in that, hody—and
what would be the result? (j° NO GOOD COULD
BE EFFECTED! The nation would only be kept
in a quarrel for four years, and the scenes of Tyler's
administration would be reenacted! THE NA
TION WANTS REPOSE! {3
Mr. Cost Johnson is one of the independent Tay
'kr men, who went against making a Whig of Gen.
Tay for by means of a ‘,,s) unders pronuncsamento ' "
and against any Nations Convention! But ashis c i a
wishes %ere not Carried ut, and inasmuch as Gen.
Taylor surrendered to the Whigs and was .made an
"ultra Whig" thrOugh the crucible of a ,National
Convention, he:is nothing less nor mdre than a
lVhig candidate,- the impossibility of•whose_election
-is declared in the above remarks by Mr. Johnson!

GEN. CQSBS' SPEECH
A large concourse of 14ople, of allparties, assembled,
at the Court House last evening, to listen to a speech
front Gen. L. Combs, cl , Kentucky. the anointed of
Henry Clay. This gentman has been on a political
pilgrimage through the e t, endeavoring to arouse the
spirits of the disappointed Clay men, and persuade them
t;
to vote for Gen. Taylor ; nd on his return home, was
invited by the whigs here to address them. Expectation
was on tip-toe throughout the day—ono of the great guns
o f whigery, or rather a kiid of political Bragg's battery,
waste be brought to bear upon the Democratic ranks—
and when the Court House bell rung a general rush was
rnado by Whigs and domOcrats, Abolitionists and Barn
burners, Ilench Breakers and Taylor men, to hear the
report and administer to the killed and wounded. To
use the General's ,own phraseology, 'we were "Mar,"
and froin our own perseinal ' knowledge thus sum up
the loss—Pled, non° : iveunded, none I. missing. none !

with incidental allusions to Gen's. ,Cass and Taylor, and
not a woi:;I in reference to the measures and principles
of the WO parties. He didn't even tell u:i that Geri.
Taylor was a Whig, wheither ho would adhere to tlm
measures and principles of the Whig party or not, and
after divesting his roman s of their extreme egotism in
constantly alluding to hi self and Kentucky, the Miry
reason thth we could di tower why the people should
vote for Gem Taylor. wa that he is a bravo man in bat

old pine stump, about tiv feet five inches high, split half

fication, for it was seriously put forth by Gen. Leslie
Comb's of Kentucky, as one of the reasons, and in fact
the main reason, why Gen. Taylor ought to be elected
over Gen. Cass. The (lily attempt at argument was on
the Wilmot Proviso, and this ho pettifogged ; and in do
ing so could not refrain from misrepresenting the posi
tion of Gen. Cass on th I question of Slavery in Torrito;
