Keep green the memory of the brave

' ing in our.opinion most fitting and deserved. We i
have watchedlis public course with great interest
and admiration,, and lung ago set him down as I
one among those able sons of the Republic, who
was destined to fill a larger space in the estimate

fulfilled, and we expect now to see it at no long

brightest page, the most thrilling stanza, for the
-tearless, the unconquerable Fremont, who, by his

President's binge.
Sinceissuing the Piesident!s Message, we have
had an opportunity of hearing a pretty general
expression of opinion from - our citizens of all par:
ties in mkt on to its tone and sentiments. The I
Democracy hail it is an honest, sound . and logicali
state paper; While our opponents freely end eanJ
didly acknowledge, 'that, to say the least, it is a
strong and powerful argument in favor of the just- 1
netil of the. war with Mexico. We have conversed
with whips svls.;; until, the appearance of the Mee
sage, were hitter in their denunciations of the war,i
and they now freely admitthat the indisputable
'facts set forth by the President have 'wrought an
entire change in. their minds, ,and convinced them
that not* slightest censure can be attached to
the pietelit advninistration for theexistence of the
war.',, They now.clearly see, when the facts are
I honestly set forth by the President, that the war
was forced upon the country in consequence of
the Mexicans invading our soil,insulting and mur
dering our citizens, breaking the law of nations,
I and violating the laws of humanity. An honest
and candid whig told us on Saturday that he was
convinced the war is just and righteous, and that
the President would have been guilty of moral
treason, if he bad not ordered 'the military power
of the country to our• Southern borders, td expel
the ruthless and perfidious invader: Another in
telligent and_ respectable individual; who has hith
erto voted and acted with the whig party, declared
to us that he shoald hereafter join the Democracy,
qor (said he) I cannot act longer with a party
who oilpose the government of my country, when
she is engaged in a just and necessary war, and
denounce and villify the Nation's President, when
he is manfully upholding the Constitution he is
sworn to supportt—l hate treason and despise trai
tors;—the President is right, and I will support
him so long as God gives me breath." Would
that every whig in the community might cast aside
all party feelings and prejudices, and take the
same course.
The attacks and comments of most of the feder
al papers upon the Message, are puerile . and
contemptible. totally unworthy the pen of an
American citizen. From the bottom of our heart
.
we pity the man who opposes his country when ,
she is clearly in the right, merely to gratify
puliti
cal malevolence. The federal editors of this city
have assailed the message in that spirit of unfair
ness for which they are celebrated. Little else
could be expected from papers which are insensi
hie to every patriotic emotion. But we are re•
joiced to learn that there is at least one opposition
editor, whose love of country and love of truth,
predominate over his attachment to party. We
mean the New York Courier nod Enquirer. Now
read the
Honest Opinions of a Whig Paper.
• From the New York Courier and Enquirer,
Tar Pecs] ovsx's Mr.ss.tus.—Thrs document
reached us by, government express at half-past
nine o'clock last evening. and will be-found in our
columns this morning. It is a document of great
length; but it will be read with absorbir , interest
by all- classes of our fellow-citizens; and we are
happy to add, that all which refers to our relations
with Mexico --embracing - three-fourths of the
whole—will give very general satisfaction. For
ourselves, we say unhesitatingly that.this portion
of the message does great credit to the executive,
and will be a noble vindication of our governinent
in the estimation of the civilized world.' 'lt ad
'dresses itself to the justice as well as the patriot
ism of our people; and we indulge the hope that
no Aincriciin citizen will permit mere political hos
tility to the 'administration so to warp his judg
ment as to induce cavilling at what is so forcibly
and so truthfully put forth en this subject.
The review of -the conduct - of Mexico towards
this government, anterior to her invasion of Texas I
and her attack upon our army, is admirably well
put, and cannot lad to remove from every candid
mind all qUeiticin as to 'the forbearance of our
government towards our sister republic. On this
subject, the position assumed by . Mr. Webster is
more than proved. We would particularly invite
the attention of our readers to that portion of the
message intended to prove that Mexico, and not the
United States, was the aggressor in this war. To
do this, the Executive demonstrates beyond ques.
lion that the legitimate western boundary of Tex
as was
.the east bank of the Rio Grande. He
shows
First. That the United States always, and under
every administration, claimed the Rio Grande as
our western boundary up to the period of ceding
to S.pain all west of the Sabine in 1310; and that,
in the month of June, 'ism President „Monroe
sent a special messenger to Galveston to warn off
certain foreign adventurers about to settle in that
vicinity "or at any .other place north of the Rio
Grande."
Second. That in the treaty made between Texas
and'Santa Anna in 1636, Texas expressly claimed
the Rio Grande for her western boundary, and he
(Santa Anna) recognized it as such
Third. That by in act of the Congress of Texas
'passed on the 19th December. 1846, after the re
cognition of her independence by Santa .dnna, and
which was entitled "an act to define the bounda
ries of the Republic of Texas," she expressly de
dared that the Rio Grande from its mouth to its
scource was its western boundary; and by the
same act extended "her civil and political jurisdic
tion" over the country up to that boundary. .
Fourth. That during the period of more than
nine years which elapsed between the establish
ment of her independence and her annexation to
our Union, Texas exercised acts of sovereignty and
jurisdiction over the territory lying bctwen the
Neuces and the Rio Grande.
She Organized and defined the limits of counties
extending to the Rio Grande.
She established courts of justice and extended
her judicial system over the territory.
She established a custom-house, and collected
duties ; and also post offices and post roads,in it.
A senator and. a representative residing in it
were both elected to the Congress of the republic,
and served as such before the act of annexation
took place.
In both the Congress and Convention of Texas,
which gave their assent to the terms of annexation to
the United States proposed by our Congress, were fe
presentatives residing west of the .11rcuces, who took
part in the act of annexation itself. •
Fifth_ That the Congress of the United States
formally accepted and recognized the Rio Grande,
and not the Faeces, as the western boundary of
Texas, by passing a lnw immediately after the ad
mission of Texas into the Union, estatlishing a
custom-house at- Corpus Christi, west of the Nueces,
where Texas herself bad maintained one. Under
this act, the President appointed, and the Senate
I formally confirmed, a surveyor for that collection
I district. Congress also passed an act establishing
post routes and post offices west of the Nueces.
.8,4t/i. That the country west of the Neuces, and
between that river and the Rio Grande, rimai con
stitniespart of a congressienal district, end is; at
this,time repretented in the Congress.of the United
States. . • . , .
'These recta, and what is nose, these acts of the
•Congress of the United States, the. President very
justly argues, left him so option but to consider
the' country betWisten - the -Nieces' and the Rio
Grande as much a part of the State of Texas, and
as. mush entitled to defence from foreign agressicua,
as any other part of. that State. - •
The idea that the States invited or Pro
voked a war with Mexico.by occupying the.conn
try west of the •Neuces is - therefore repudiated by
the Executiie; and'he proce.eile to show, by the or
ders of Paredes, that it-Was the intention of Mexi-'
co to make - mai, - upon ibeUnited States if her .

T e army, the nnvy, and the volunteer"! are all
kcomiziencled, as they so richly merit, for their gal
lantry in'covering,. as they have, our arms with
glory. We do not agree with him, however, in
the - opinion expressed, that-a volunteer force will
be found the cheapest mode-ot carrying on a war,
at the same, time that it is abunkMtly efficient. „AU

i r eeti - Whicb have been captured from the enemy.i
We hope , therefore that the twenty-five thousand I

which , the existing law authorizes being employed,
will be immediately called into the field.

I but how much he does not tell us, The feeling' of
the nation will stole this; and when a treaty of
peace is submitted to the Senate, that body will
probably insist that we take the Rio Grande arthe
northern boundary up to a point north of latitude
thirty-fro wad thence west to the Pacific. ,
He again asks for the two millions appropria
tion; and we hope it will be granted upon the con
ditiocis indicated.
THE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
, t er , 2A l BETV.a.RE! BEIK€IRE!
The Pennrytranion of the 12th inst. comes to us
1% cith a long publication, signed by Sarni F. B.
‘130a , 01 Alfred Vail, L. D. Gale and F. 0. J. Smith,
the original patentees of the Elcctro-Magnetic
Telegraph, in which they caution the public to
beware of a , rival company, beaded by Henry
O'Reilly, Hugh Downing, and others; alledging
that said company is a spurious concern, and
are acting without warrant from the patentees.
They state that a contrast was made with Mr.
O'Reilly, on the 13th of December, 1E45, (the
contract is published as part of the statement,)
granting to said O'Reilly the right on his own
responsibility, to construct a line of Telegraph
from Philadelphia, by way of -Harrislourgh to
Pittsburgh, and - thence through Wheeling and
Cincinnati to St. Louis. It was agreed that
unless:the line from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh,
was constructed within six months from date of
. .
agreement, the agreement should be null and
void. • The patentees declare that• Mr. O'Reilly did
nut live up to the terms of tho agreement; but
subsequently, after the agreement became null
and void, organized a new rival company, of
which ikon Dow:ciao was elected President,
and HENRY (YRKILLY, Secretary. ":otally with
out authOrity." The publication closes as follows:
In these operations, we find a motive for usurp
ing all power into their own hands, and refusing
to us any voice in the construction of the lines.—
Trustees rrpresculilig us, as well as them and their
honest subscribers. might not consent to give out
such rich contracts for wire or construction. And
if, by intimidating us, and by gratuities of stork ens%
playing persons to toll in subscribers on' such terms,
the scheme can be carried through, it will be a
profitable operation, even should they vouchsafe to
us in the end our stipulated portion of the stock!
Under these circumstances; we deem it ourduty
to ourselves and to the public to state, that the
'eAtlantie, Lake and Mississippi Telegraph Com
pany," the "Atlantic and Ohio Telegraph Compa.,
'ay,' and the "Lake Erie Company," all the anon
thorized contrivances orone combination to fleece
the subscribers, if not io defraud the patentees, have
not, and never had, any authority from wit° justi
fy their organization or proceedings, and=that we
disavow all acts of Henry O'Reilly, and another - per..
sone, in bid/ding or operating Telegraphlines under
their appointments. .
We caution the public against subscribing mo
ley to their funds, or purChasing their certificates
of stock. No such subscription will be recognized
by us, nor will the money subscribed be refunded,
in case of a sale to the government.
We warn all operators. and particularly those
now employettby them at Philadelphia, Lancaster,
Harrisburg. or other places, to desist from the use
of Morse's inventions, on penalty of prosecution
for a violation of.iais patents. '
We forbid all persons making for them, or sell
ing to them, or any of them, Morse's Registers or
instruments, under a like penalty.
We expect all Telegraph companies, deriving
their rights and powers from us, to withdraw all
facilities heretofore afforded them on the ide.a of a
.
, common origin and a common interest, and to re.
fuse hereafter all connection with them of any sort.
We appeal to the public to protect its own ill.
terest, and ours, against a combination so regarr-•
less of both.
And we invite all well disposed men, who ha 4
contributed money to build the line from Phila.
delphia westward, to untie with us in forming a
company, which shall make their investments
more valuable than they could be under the enor
mous tax for construction, imposed on them by
the leaders of this combination. Nor do we wish
Ito profit by any expenditure made by those lead
ers themselves, though..so long as they maintain.
their present attitude, We have no propositions to,
make to ;hem.
In addition to the Buffalo publication, we annex
a statement of Mr. Kendall, Mr. O'Reilly's con
tract, and extracts from the articles of association
therein referred to. We invite a careful examina
tion of the two last papers. If Mr. O'Reilly has
followed them a single step beyond soliciting sub
scriptions, we do not comprehend the meaning of
words. (Signed,)

EXTRACT OF A LETTER TO THE EDITOU, DATED
Washington, Dec. 11, 1880.
DEAR Sin:— • • • The Whigs
have opened the war on the administration on the
Mexican question. They have commenced it
fiercely, and may God give them grace to continue
as fiercely us they have began—as 1 feel confident
that such a course on their part will tend to unite
and strengthen the democracy. But you have seen
in the papers all that 1 can tell. yon.
Yours, &c.

at Boston was $38,000. This is the beginning of

LO-CAL MATTERS.
THE FINE ARTS
There is a k moonlight scene" now on exhibition
in Gillespie & Kennedy's window, with which we
arc very much pleased. The scene is on the sea
shore, and the moon is represented as breaking
through the clouds which gather around her in
sombre magnificence. A lighthouse is seen in
the distance, and a small coasting vessel is stand
ing in for the shore. In the foreground, a fisher
man sits on the bow of his boat, and gazes intently
on the sky, as if afraid of a coming storm. We I
would notice the net and barrel, as being very well
painted, and brought into full relief by the sur
rounding darkness. The light and shade are very
well managed, ani.t produce a very pleasing effect.
We learn that this picture was paints.d Mr. ]
John J. Porter, a young artist who has been for
some time, a resident of our city. Wc regard this
painting as one of tie happiest efforts, and Would
recommend him to the patronage of our friends,
since he is amply qualified to do them full' justice.
May he meet with that success which be deserves.

Pickpocket arreeed.--Yesterday information was
left with the Mayor of a robbery having been
committed in Dubats tavern, by a man who calls
himself William Johnson, but as be i A a Jew it is
not likely that this is his name. Officers Foiand
Scott were sent in search of him, and after an all.
Bence of a few hours,,returned with the gentleman
to the Mayor's office.- He As searched, but noth
ing but a very valuable, handkerchief found upon
him, which was recognized as-the property of the
person who had been rubbed. A purse, containing
415,50, which he is charged with having taken
out of the pocket of his bed-fellow, was not found.
After an examination before the' Mayor, hp was
sent to the hill to await the result of a trial in the
Quarter Sessions--a tribunal before which all
classes are certain of having justice meted out
. to
them.
This man Johnson is the same person who coin
mitted a robbery in a German house in the , Fifth
Ward, a few weeks since.
Ilospital.—The Protestant clergymen have held
a meeting at which they rewired to go pn with
the movement; and to use all their exertions to
establish a hospital.on account of dm protestant
portion of our people. But, the aqicted of all
sects will be received and their opinions respected.
Under such circumstances, who that can, will not
aid in this matter. '

yesterday that the friends - of Caleb'ee, Eq., hope,
to secure their favorite the nomination by kicking

cO" At the meeting of the War Committee last

SAT. Dit.r, stocking weaver, Fifth street, has

Pittsburgh Hospital Fund.—On Saturday even
ing at a meeting of the Committee appointed by
the .:Brotherhood of St. Joseph," to solicit contri- 1
buttons to the Pittsburgh Hospital, about $lOOO
was paid in to. the Treasurer, and a report made
of five hundred having been subscribedwhich is not
yet collected. The committee ve bur/ this . weelt.
They expect to raise live hundred dollars more,
making in.all about $2000! This is cheering.
Good Yews fur Pittsburgh Voheateert.—The Bos
ton Chronotype Is eonfident that Massachusetts will
hot be able to raise the Regiment required of her.
If this turns out true, another requisition will soon
be made upon Pennsylvania. The Chronotype
says: "Capt. Webster undertook to muster a com
pany into service yesterday, but to cool him off a
little, a letter was received from the Atljt. General
imforming him that his company would not_ be
received until the whole Regimerit was raised."
The ,Pit of, the Theatre was well filled with
gentlemen. in blue pants. and roundabouts on
Tuesday night. We expect :to see crowded hou

hold all the applicants for seats.
We are glad that Manager Porter has anticipa
ted this and re-opened the Second Tier ai the form-
er price, three bits. We hope to see the audience
hereafter more equally distributed through the
