That message is accessible to every one, and to it we refer for a perfect under standing of this much misrepresented transaction. Let any man readrhe Presidents reasons for this step, there contained, and. his mu3t be a v gjeatej* than Bcetian Stupidity that cannot* comprehend them, or comprehending, an incurable Prejudice, that persists in declaring their insufficiency. Un der the then existing circumstances, the president would have disregarded every consideration of pa * triotic duty, had headed differently. p But the resolution did not stop here. It embrac ed nri additional demand, for copier- of the instruc tions to Mr.'SiioEfcL, the Minister, whom the Mexican authorities so cavalierly rejected. The call was mandatory, too, not discretionary,although the latter is the universal custom when relating to our foreign intercourse. "With this branch of the cull the President declines to comply, and vindi cates this declination in the message found below. It would convey but a feeble expression of our • feelings, to say, that of the doctrines and'principlee advanced in this menage ■we heartily approve. We go a step further, and 'affirm.-that from the moment of J amk.h K. Polk's installation, on the 4th of ! March. 181 ft, to the present hour, he has not per formed u single ’act or deM. which in-our:opinion, was more/strongly marked with a practical and foresight,and an Argus eyed watch fulness of the sacred interests committed to his charge, than'he has displayed in this message. It " ia not improbable either, that no previous act of • „ hia, bitterly us’many of them are assailed* has eu . countered a greater amount of senseless clamor. ' than will this. But for all (hut, we will trust to u sound and discriminating public mlilligence to stainji it as oue of the very be*i ucw of his admin- istration. Reflection and Observation—those* most succes.v ful of every-day teai'lu-rs—have long since Jed us to the conclusion, that if our form of government has buy material defect whatever, il 4s this, that the deliberations and decisions of our constituted au thorities we so entirely and easily accessible to any and every nation, great or,small, whom Interest or Curiosity may inspire with a willingness to possess them. In ordinary seasons, when at peace with all‘mankind, and when the national authorities are •busied only with questions'of internal policy, this is well enough. But in time of actual or threaten ed war, of deep national concern are delicate and important ne gotiations are pending, the(publicity of Fall’ that we think, "and say, and do, is attended ivith conse quences incalculably pernicious. Thisjis even true of the deliberations of Congress, but Applies with increased force to the cabinet councils of the Exe cutive, in which the safety of the nation requires that there should always be a large infusion of ma „ »onry. . ..

The customary and usual reservation con tained in calls of either house of Congress upon the Executive for information relating to bur intorcourse with foreign nations has been omitted in the resolu tion before me. The callof the House is uncon ditional. H is, that .the information ; requested be communicated, and thereby be made public, wheth er, in the opinion of the Executive, who is charged by the constitution with the duty of Conducting ne gotiations with foreign powers, such information, when disclosed, would be prejudicial to. the public interests, or not. It has been a subject of serious deliberation with me, whether I could, consistently with my constitutional,'duty and my sense .of the public interests invplved and to be affected by it, vloiafe an important principle, always heretofore held sacred by my predecessors, as I should do by a compliance with the request of the House. - President Washington, in a message tothe House of Representatives of the 30th of March, 1796, de clined to comply with a request contained in a res olution of that body, to lay them “ a copy of the instructions to the minister of the United States who‘negotiated the treaty with the King of Great Britain”—“together with the corres pondence and other documents relative to the said treaty, excepting such of the said papers as any ex isting negotiations may render improper to be dis closed.” In assigning his reasons for declining to • comply with the call,.he declared that “the nature Of foreign negotiations requires caution, and their success must-often depend on secrecy; and even when brought to a conclusion, a full disclosure of all the measures, demands, and’’ eventful condes . sions, which may have been proposed or contem plated, would be extremely impolitic ; for this might have a pernicious influence on" future nego tiations, or; produce immediate inconveniences, perhaps danger and mischief, in relation to other The necessity of such caution and secrecy was one reason for vesting the power of making Treaties m the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate; the principle on which that body was formed, confining it to a small num ber of members. To admit, then, a right in the House.of Representatives to to have, as a matter of course, all the papers respecting a negotiation with a foreign power, would he to es tablish a dangerous precedent.” In that case, the instructions and documents called for.related to a treaty which had been concluded and ratified by the President and Senate, and the negotiations in rela tion to it had been terminated. r There was an ex press reservation, too, “excepting” from the call all such papers as related to “any existing nego tiations** which it might be improper to disclose. In that case, President Washington deemed it to be a violation of an important principle, the establish* ment of u “ dangerous, precedent,”:and prejudicial to the public inlcrcsts, to comply with the call of the Home. Without deeminglt to he necessary,on the pres ent occasion, to examine or decide upon the other reasons assigned by him, for his refbsal to commu nicate the information requested by the Homo, the one which is herein cm*d is;, iinny judgment, con clusive in.'the case under consideration. Indeed, the objections.lo complying with the re quest of the Hoiue, contained in tne resolution be fore me, are much stronger than those which exis ted in .the case of the resolution in 179 G. This resolution calls for «)*« “instructions and orders” to the minister of the United States to iu-.ioo. which relate to negotiations which have not been terminated, and which may be resumed, TUe;in formation called for, respects negotiations which the United States offered to open with Mexico im mediately preceding the commencement of the ex isting war. The instructions given to the minister of the United States relate to tho differences bet ween the two countries, out of which the war grew, and the. terms of adjustment which we were pre pared to offer to Mexico in our anxiety to prevent the war. These differences still remain unsettled ; and to comply with the call of the House, would be to make public, through that channel, and to communicate to Mexico, now a public enemv en gaged in war, information which could not fail to produce serious embarrassment in any future nego tiation between the two countries. I have heretofore communicated to Congress all the correspondence of the minister of the United States to Mexico, which, in the existing state of our relations with that, republic, can, in my judgment, be at this time communicated without serious injury to the public interest. Entertaining this conviction, and with a sincere desire to furnish any information which may be in the possession bf.tne Executive Department, and which either house of Congress may at any time request, I regard it to be my constitutional right, and my solemn duty, under the circumstances of this case, to decline a compliance with the request of the House contained in their resolution.

He "is, besides, the I warm ’; friend and ad mirer of^burgreafund gotxf Br cmi^^rthe v iaAor ite. candidate of TewKyl vtraia. i j rivalries of two such men can never be conducted in any other than a friendly spirit,.free from the acrimony and bitterness which so frequently actuate lesser minds.- ..-, The same convention with great unanimity, have also nominated tha,t favorite Democrat, Johy B. W elub, as the candidate of the Ohio Democracy for the office of Governor. CoL Wf.lt.eb formerly served with much distinction in Congress, and com manded a regimfent of Ohio troops under General Tat lob in Mexico. This proof of patriotism will, however, avail but little with the Corwinites and “ Western Reserve*’ abolitionists of that State. With them serving one’s country'in the tented field is rather more’ of a disqualification for office than a recommendation. The -NatioTtal Whig hints that if the Whigs .will not bp too impatient,. “they will, get General Taylor’s opinions from over his own signature, in all proper-time. They will all be more than satisfied.” Gen. Taylor is a Whig and * nothing else,’ and eve- Whig can consistently support him.—Lehigh Re porter, We do not profess to be informed whether Gen. Taylor l|? a Whig, as is here alleged, or a Demo crat, as is asserted by others, or neither the one or the other, as affirmed by himself, if he has affirmed any thing from which an opinion is dedueible.— These are mysteries, which we confess our insuffi ciency to penetrate, aiid-which it might even ap pear impertinent to investigate, inasmuch at Gen. Taylor himself perseveres in a steady un willingness to solve them. - But we feel that we may. without adventuring into the land of riddles, dedicate a parapraph to the metropolitan organ of Taylorania, which strives to cool the “impatience” of its coadjutors with the promise, that “ in all proper time" the old Hero will make every needful revelation, and that mean while the fact thttf “Gen. Taylor is a Whig arid nothing else ” should he sufficient tt> spread peace and quiet throughout the-realm of Whigdoin. This, in homely adage, is u horse of u differeiit color. Hvdirbam says: “Doubtless the pleasure is as great, in being (heated us to cheat.'* We have never doubled the correctness of this philosophy, and have more limn once discovered that it has many pious-hearted believers. A memorable in stance recurs to our minds now. _ We refer to the us fu the exact complex ion of Jonx Tyler's political opinions, on his ac cession to the Presidency, after the death of Hxiint soNf In proof of his Democracy, the Democrats pointed to h»o and.speeches in Congress— whilst the Federalists, with equal confliicne*, point ed to'his nominatipn and election, in confirmation of his Federalism. iThe former hoped that he would adhere to his ancient principles—the latter profess ed lo know that he would not. Well do we remem ber, how those, xyho had chaiuited the praises of “ Tip and Ty,” fretjted and fumed, and rayed and stamped, at the bjare insinuation that Mri Tyler | was not a whig ofjthe straitest sect. Why should it be doubted ! j The sequel belongs to history. First Federalism deceived the people, by palming off Mr. Ttler as one of its own rhoken disciples, and then it tried to deceive by persuasion that he would make good the original fraud in his administrative policy. Woful mistake, and attended with a fearful penalty! Federalism found itself compelled to assail with bitter fury the very man to whom it had shortly before sounded loud hosannahs, and total disruption of its forces was the consequence. We do not mean by this reminiscence to insti tute a comparison; between Taylor aud Tyler. politically, or in any way. notwithstanding the ominous coincidence of name. AH that we intend to establish by it; is, the possibility of an entire part}' cheating itself, and to some extent deliberately and knowingl}. ‘j Generous Confidence'' proved the grave of our good-natured opponents in 18-10 and too much amiability may perform the same melancholy office in 1848. The.contrary is to be hoped, but seeing that u burnt children dread the fire, ,: it is amazing how much those who now cry :*o lustily for Tit lor —without knowing, whether, he be lor or-against a National Bank, for or against a Protective Tariff, for or against the Sub-Treasury, lor or against Internal Improvements, for or against the further prosecution of the War-—are couunt to receive on trust. Admitting its escape from every other casualty, it will be a wonder if Whiggerybe not again hjkriscd to death in 1818. Better sink or swiin with Clay. Lycoming County. The Williamsport Gazette , so long the able and influential organ of the Democracy of Lycoming county, in reply to a query by a correspondent, thus defines its position on the subject of the next Pre sidency : ' Our preference is decidedly and unqualifiedly for James Buchanan. We have freely and frankly expressed it in conversation with all our friends, and now to oblige a subscriber, we proclaim it The favorite son ”of Pennsylvania was supported by us for the same office, previous to the nomination of Mr. Van Boren - in 1840, and again prior to that of Mr. Polk in 1844, and now if any thing was wanting to confirm our old love for the same individual, we should readily find it in the fact that nearly every Democratic paper in this State, and many in other States, have openly de clared for him.

This gallant officer is a native of this city, and for the last twenty-five years and upwards, has been actively engaged in e«rvice. He is a graduate of the Military Academy at West Point, where he took some of the highest honors of his class, and imme diately after entered the army as a supernumerary subalterns At the commencement of the Florida War, being' in command of a company of Artillery, he'was or dered to report his company to General Eusfis for service. This he did early in February! 1836, and was thereupon assigned to the performance of most arduous and dangerous duties. "Participating in nearly all the important battles of the Peninsula, he was especially recommended fim gallantry of conduct, at “ the Battle of the Wahoo,” by Gov. Cai.l, in his official report to the War Department. During a period of nearly three years, Capt. Nau max continued to be actively engaged in that pro tracted and bloody war, at one time acting as a Captain of Dragoons, at another guarding and con veying supplies and munitions of war for the army, and again penetrating into the heart of the Indian country as chief of a detachment of scouts. These and other fatiguing duties he performed with great credit to himself and advantage to the country, un til the expedition under General Jessup into the Everglades—which he accompanied—broke up the power of the Indians, and dispersed their forces, when he was relieved by being ordered into the Cherokee country. During the whole of the difficulty on the North Eastern boundary, he was in command of the most important military post on that frontier, and as such commander discharged the delicate and responsible duty entrusted to his care with signal efficiency and credit. When the Army of Occupation under Genl. Tay lor advanced from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande, Capt. Nauman was in command of a military post below New Orleans. Being ordered to join the army after the battles of the Bth and 9th of May, 1846, he did so with his o%vn and another company of his Regiment, in time to participate in the taking of Matamoras. Here he was left in command of Fort Parades after it fell into the hands of our troops —and until the government determined upon pushing its military operations fropi the coast, upon Vera Cruz, thence to the Mexican Capitol. Accord ingly he proceeded with his company to join the army of the Commander-in-Chief. At the seige of Vera Cfuz for several successive days and nights he was in the trenches, commanding and superintend ing a full ba’ttery of field pieces, mortars, &c., ex posed to imminent danger. Advancing with the main body of the army, he acted a moat glorious and conspicuous part in all its engagements, besides participating in numberless skirmishes. At Cerro Gordo he was in the thickest and most dangerous •part of the battle. Forming part of the column which stormed the heights of the Cerro, he had not less titan one-third of his company either killed or wounded. At Contreras and Churubusco, at Cha pultepec and the battle on the Tacubya road, he was constantly in the thickest of the fight. In hjs advance from Chapultepec to the Garito, he led his company and carried three of the enemy } s batteries by storm. In this undertaking a piece of his ear was carried away by a musket ball, and another shattered the scabbard of his sabre, hanging at his side, while several of his brave companions in arms were killed. Captain Nauman is an officer of great merit and worth, of modest and unassuming manners, and eminently deserving the attention of those, whose duty it is to reward the bravery and gallantry of our officers. In all the official reports his name has been commended ani recommended for gallantry of conduct. We sincerely hdpe that the claim# of so valuable an oflieer will receive attention* and that reward which to the Boldier in valuable above all m whki liegiMutive tiftiem.

Tatloh, which occur red in the cify of Mexico, on the 9tli of December, of typhus fever. Capt. Taylor was a native of Schellsburg, Bedford county, and at the head of a company of volunteers was accepted into the ser vice, in May last. He landed with his mep Vera Cruz on the Ist of June following,, and reach ed'Puebla orjvthe day before the march for the city of Mexico by Gen. Scott. In the battles which followed Captain Tailoh bore a conspicuous part, and won many laurels. His decease has created a profound sensation in Bedford county, where he was a great .-favorite. War Meeting In “Old Berks. 94 A . very large and enthusiastic meeting of the, staunch Democracy of Old Berks was held in the city of Reading, on the 4th instant, Peter Filbert. Esq., Mayor of the cjjty, in the chair. The meeting waß ably and eloquentlyaddreased by D, R, Olymer, Robert M. Barr, and J. Glancy Jones, and a series of excellent resolutions reported by u committee, of which. Ncwtpn Strong, F.sq., was chuirmun. The following are among the number: Resolved, That we regard the “ Wilmot Proviso,” ait a measure fraught only with mischief, calculated to endanger and distract the Union and harmony of the confederacy j and utterly impracticable in itn objects, aiul unconstitutional in its conception. Resolved, That while we approve of the high ground taken hy distinguished members of the dem ocratic party , in regard to the unconstitutionality of any act of Congress, having for its object n perma nent restriction upon the domestic institutions of territory, which mav hereafter be organized and be admitted into the Union as sovereign States 5 that nevertheless we regard the adherence to, and ex tension of the principle* of the “Missouri Com promise, ?,r as a line of policy better calculated to ease public excitement, satisfy the claims of the North and South; disarm faction, and furnish a chart for future emigration, than that of any other yet . devised, if not equally binding, it becomes morally so when ratified by the common consent of the nation ; our first confederacy of constitution, and many of our acts of Congress are compromises,, and few of them havqAeen productive of more prac-. tical good than that of the Missouri Compromise. Resolved , That our member of Congress be res pectfully requested to sustain and carry out these resolutions. Relief Votes In Circulation. !

Quite a number of citizens, strangers, and members of Legislature were in attendance. Furman E. Downs, Esq., of the county of Phila delphia, was chosen presiding officer of the cele bration—Vice Presidents: Samuel Fegely of Berks, Major Watson of Washington, Charles Frailey of Schuylkill, Judge Eldred of Dauphin. Secretaries, John C. Myers of Berks, W.Y. Roberts of Fayette. A number of patriotic sentiments were passedj in committee of the whole, and not a few eloquent speeches . delivered. A toast., complimentary to William F. Small, of the Senate, elicited a pat riotic response, which was loudly cheered by the meeting. , Capt. Small gave a lively and interesting account of his ‘‘experience’’ among thechapparals and rancheros of Mexico, and paid' a glowing tribute to the brilliant achievements of our army. Speeches were also delivered by Judge Eldred. Col. Myers of Berks, F. C. Carson, Esq., of Har risburg, Mr. Krick of Crawford, Mr. Roberts of Fayette, and Mr. Weyand of Somerset. The fes tivities closed with a capital German song, from Vater Fecely, the whole company joining in the chorus. This was a most happy finale to what may be truly styled a “ feast of reason and a flow ol soul.” A daring attempt was made oh Thursday night, between the hours of ten and eleven, to force the splendid Wilson hotel, now kept by Mr. Herr. Mr. Graft, a member of assembly, repaired to his room, on the third story, when he found that the bed clothing had been set on flrei He speedily extin guished the tlnmos, however, and on looking round missed Ids trunk—the object clearly being to re duce the premises to ashes, to conceal the robbery. The perpetrators of this diabolical deed have since been apprehended, in the persons of two negroes, formerly servants'in the house. The missing trunk has also, been recovered, in possession of the wife of one of the negroes, together with a large quan tity of valuable articles, all stolen. Robert F. Black, Esq., the popular Recorder of Deeds, of Dauphip county,..died at Prince’s hotel, on Friday morning. Mr. lilack was twice, elected to that office on the Democratic ticket, against the large federal majority in : the county, which is a convincing proof of the high estimation in which he was held by the public; The Presidency forms the topic of frequent con versation among the members, which is always conducted, as it should be, without acrimony.— It has gratified me to find that, almost without ex ception, the Democratic representatives are in favor of Jasies Buchanan. Ilis nomination by the 4th of March Convention is now regarded as almost a matter of course. SUSQUEHANNA. From our Philadelphia Correspondent. The friends of General Taylor held a meeting in the Chinese Museum on Saturday night last, which was very largely attended. The Native faction, now on.its last legs, seemed to take charge of the proceedings, furnishing the principal speaker, and the preamble and resolutions. The noble old General may well exclaim, in view of this fact; “ Save me from my friends,” for no man can carry the odium of Nativism without diking under the load. The leading federalists in this city stand aloof from the Taylor, movement, waiting with illy con cealed impatience for some fortuitous event to res cue their idol, the “Mill-boy of the Slashes,’’ from the perils that now seem about to overwhelm him. I detest their political notions, but admire their steady and unchanging devotion to their favorite. Through evil and good report, in Bunshine and in storm, their attachment has known no abatement. How is it, Mr. Editor, that the federal press is silent in relation to the operation of the tariff of 1846 ? Where is the ruin they predicted—the dis tress they prophesied? Shade of Ajcdy Stewart, answer where ? Do the people want any more evi dence of the deceit that covers federalism as with a garment ? Every movement of the Democratic party since the overthrow of the elder Apahs has met the opposition of the federalists, and been de nounced by them as ruinous to the country. All their predictions proved false, and now the Bank, the Tariff, distribution, etc., are wholly forgotten are never mentioned, and the only subject'tHat now affords them an opportunity to indulge in their ac customed fault-finding is the Mexican War. This is, according to their leaders, the only evil that afi flicts the country ! I have just read the admirable report of Mr. Miller, superintendent of Common Like its predecessors, it does credit to its author, and ably argues the policy of the system. I trust his suggestions will be heeded by the legislature. The system is far from jbeing perfect,.and the changes he recommends are important in the highestdegree.

Tavern Licences. It will perhaps be pretty generally conceded, by observing and reflecting persons, that one: of the greatest evils in any community, is an ill-kept pub lic house or tavern. Such, a house is a source of evil of various kinds, and if it have been in opera tion for any length of time, has ihad the honor of earn ing anguish and sorrow"'to the heart of more than one deserving wife, parent and child; and perhaps of helping, to send to an untimely grave, more than one person who. but for it, might have been long a- resected and useful member of society. These things being so, it has frequently been io 'me a matter of surprise, that;even, persons gene rally acknowledged, on account: ofThe character, of their habits and principles, to: be' unfit‘to keep a public house, should have sojittledifficultyin get ting the requisite number of signatures to their* applications; and especially that amwigtbe.jsigna tures to their applications, should be so often! found the names of men of good repute for benevolence, morality, and even religion. It has been a;, flatter of great surprise to me, that these persdns should so often, out of a mere desire of pleasing, or the fear of offending and. getting a little, abuse and ill-will, or be.cause others -as-'respectable as themselves or more so, have already dbne.it ;t that these persons should so often be found puttmgtbeir names to certificates, such certificates are required, in favor of. most unsuitable applicants, and in reference to locations where.:public houses, at least additioital ones, are not at all heeded. lAjid it has been a matterof regret, as well as surprise, for their names are the oiies that have the most weight with the Court in deciding upon the petitions of applicants. I venture respectfully to ask, whether, in view of the evils that arc likely to flow from a a public house being kept whq-eit is not needed or by an, unsuitable person, whether it is not the duty of all hazards, to refuse-to sign the required certificate ? Does not indeed a strict regard to truth require them to' refuse ? And in view of the evils, which, to a greater or less ex tent, are apt to flow from the sale of ardent spirits, even by the most careful landlord* is it not more consistent and better for such persons to go on the principle of signing r no applications whatever? Is not the propriety of this course palpable, when it is remembered that-he who.hy tne signature of his .name, or bvjaity other means, assists in starting or [keeping in Operation a tavern, comes in fothiidue of responsibility in regard to all . the evils that fhay flbw from it. * - -—- Hut thereis. another question which I shbulr like to hove well tool wmetally that is, whethef any one has done hia duty to aoei* aty and to ; his ftdlawotieH, when he Mmh ternsed to append his name to the eeuldeate in favor of an uhsiiliahle, applicant lurlieense i at whethef It in not his duty to endeavor, by hanest mm tittntff, ta prevent him.
