The coming Presidential campaign will undoubt
edly be unusually severe and trying. The po
littmd elements, now, lying so-calm and unruffled,
will be lashed into commotion by the nominations
/made by the 'two Conventions about to meet. De
mocrats must prepare for a' fierce, unrelenting and
unscrupulous contest with their ancient enemy. Fe-
Amhara—driven to desperation, will rally its for
ces for a great and desOrate effort; which will re
"tire 'the united and vigorous exertions of Denio
crats to withstand. The Money Power will again
be brought into the field, and its whole influence
wielded, to repeal the People's Tariff, and re-enact
the law to protect capital. The various political
.questions which have so often received the seal of
condemnation from the Awe r'ican people, are to be
resuscitated, and urged with
.ten-fold vigor, by
means of money, misreiresentation and falsehood.
The Most desperate eflort is now to be made, to
break down, divide and conquer the Great Repub
bean Party. In view of these apparent truths, and
of the necessity which now so urgently presents it
' self of " keeping before the , people" the great car

Nov -POSTAGE LAW.—A bill his been reported
to the House of Representatives amending the rates
of postage. As it .coinkdies, in some degree, with
the wishes of the friends of Cheap Postage, we
trust that Congress will speedily. enact it into a law.
The following are the principal movisions of the
bill
The circulation of all newspapers freeof poet
age, within thirty miles of the place of publication,
not above the saperfieies of 1900 square inches.
tinder one hundred miles and over thirty, one
half cent ; over one hundred and for any further
distanee. one cent.
Newspapers above t,900 inches to pay paw
phlet and magazine possage, which is two cents fur
the first ounce, and half of one cent for all greater
distances.
Newspapers miller 500 square inches go free for
the first 30 miles, and pay a cpmiler of one cent
for all greater distances. Transient newspapers
pay two cents when not sent from the office of pub.
Publishers of pamphlets, zna,gazines and periodi
cals, are allowed a free exchange, the same as the
publishers of newspapers..
A VEROATILE Gestcs.—We find the following
remarkable notice in the Spirit of the Times:—
To THE Praur.—The public is respectfully in

articles for themselves. The most profound secrecy
is guaranteed. Translations from the French, Spa

This formidable list does not comprise all the
qualifications for which the editor is remarkable,—

• After a fruitless parley of eight hours, Gen. Price
assaulted and took the town, capturing Gov. Tries
and the troops under hiscommand. The place had
been fortified with fourteen Ineces of tutillery,
which, together with 2000 stand of small arms, fell

ammo ono Pages.—By late arrivals from -Maxi
co, we learn that the Treaty as been received at
the Capitol and urea
cee of its ratification were as intieertain as ever,
The Mexicans, it seems, have been considering the
probabilities of a continuation of the war, and an esti
mate had been made to the government, by which
it seems 60,000 men with about 150 pieces of artil
lery will be required in the event of a further pros
eeution of hostilities. This is a vast amount of force,
and the question arises, where will the meanscome ,
from to fit out such an army, totally destitute, as the
the Mexican treasury is, of funds. Such an esti
mate, under such circumstances, would look like a
trick of the peace party to scare the unwilling mem- 1
tiers of Congress into an acquiescence with the terms
of the Treaty.
Gen. Huller, according to the correspondence of
the Picayune, intends to be, very soon, either in
Vera Cruz or Queretaro—a determination that will
have but little chance to delay the tatification very
long, The Washington Union says an intelligent
gentleman arrived in Wrohington on Wednesday
evening—one of the last persons who has lett the
city of Mexico, his opinion is, that the treaty will
be ratified if the Mexicans can agree amongthem
selves in the distribution of :he funds, but not oth
•erwise. He is also of the opinion that the Mexicans
will agree, as they werermuch in want of money.
He thinks that seine delay may take place in the
ratification of the treaty by Mexico, and that it is
not probable the exchange or ratifications will or
can take place by the tat or 2d of next month.
The last battle in Mexico, at Rosales, though at-
trading but little notice from the press, was a victo
ry no less brilliant than many which have preceded
it. It was fought under great disadvantage and
against great odds, and with the same remit as has
ever happened in Mexico. • Success has invariably
followed under every commander. and no matter
who leads our troops, their gallantry always wins
the day—a fact which should induce the American
people to bestow a little attenton to the wants of the
rank and file, instead of bestowing all their lauda
tions upon the Genends.—Ledger.

with the instrectioos, but as Mr. G. was about to

Revourrunt tx then.—Late accounts (to the
15th tilt„) from Hayti, give the particulars of some
important changes which have occurred at Port an
Prince. A's soon its the news of the French revo
lution had reacheitthere - a great number of citizens
assembled in the Cham p-de-Mars, and demanded
the abolition of do? constitution of 1849, the resto
ration of the constitutional revision of 1820, and a
dismissal of the Ministry. The army concurred in
the same dernands. President Sooloque issued a
proclamation, April 9th, imnouncingthat their wish
. dkronld complied with. On the same day he is
sued another deeme, announcing the retirement of
Gen Paul from the Ministry of Instruction, Gen.
Gabriel`from that of the Interior, and Gen. Dueny
from that of Finance, and the provisional appoint
ment of Gen. Dufresne, citizen Vaval, and Judge
Frarcisque, of Gonavives, to fill their place respec
tively.
This complete overthrow of the constitution has
created two parties,,one of the mulattoes clamoring
for the re-establishnent of the constitution, and the
other of the negroes, and the President sustaining
the present one. The people in the South part o f e
the istuid are in arms, and on the march'for the
capital, with a determination to put down the Pre
sident-sad re-establish the constitution. Civil war,
it is ex,pected, will follow.

able pride, to the fact, that Company C is net im
