zMwe Harem' ed the control of this piper, we
found some three or four federal sheets in this 'city
• coristautly firing , -away at the President in Comic
-.
queries ofthe tsar with Mexico. Charges totally
at frarience with the' truth daily - appeared in the ; , colururut : of .
.the...2e papers in regard to the causes
which brought on the war. We found that even',
L:::apong . DeXioirtas there were a few pers.ons 'who
..lot - ere _disposed to fina fault with the Administration
in censequence of the amuse it has been forced to
• • talte i;ith our'troubleSome little neighbor on the
South,. Sortie of these lersons,. in a spirit of per-I
fect kisidn eSS 'Came . tO is and advised us to_ say as
••. little as possible in relation to the war. -Ttie, war
.: "bs - ,' 11 . uPed thn, "and - your best
„ c l Poai," - argu these men, me
coven*. is to let ; the Presiden t fight it out as best
can." This kind of reasoning was not suite" 1
to our-ears. 'We found : Our belat;ed country engag
ed in a wars- aar of defence—a tear brought uu
sv ,
; not:by oar own acts—a. just, righteous, and holy!
•viivar; , -and we resolvedjet the issue be what it
venauld, to take . our stand boldly and unreservedly
on the - side of our country, fully conscious that she
was in the right, and conceiving it was our duty
H a good citizen, to support the gorernmentwith'
- all the energy wepossessed. We honestly set forth
• . •••tini.caitsisnwhich led to the -war--we adduced facts,
proving iaLlottii the passibility of doubt, that the
ie acts came from Mexico; that she
: - ..brolersherviaittrovmfiged oar people,. invaded our
oar ifiStilted . our:, minister,
mgrdered our citizens, and Committed other .out.
iegmthat.no civilize' nation upon the face of 1
,:14-_th - e-eartfi,ivould submit to with impunity.' Soon
Rater came the excellentmessage of our worthy
„
`• thief .Magistrate, which entered into.-s full his-
tory. of, all our difficulties with Mexico. This
*Hinted the question in thd strongest light to
the American people, and hundreds -,of honest
• 1 men,Who before were unacquainted with all the
fiicts, - thea became cons that• our country was
win thissig4t;;and they publicly expressed their de.
Jertitiiiatitati to take a stand on the side of their
- _ - tountry—onthe side of 'truth and Right. The
DtMOcicy, as.a party, are now unalterably' corn.
• ;
milted in favor of the war, and the great body of
' P ilte . opposition,—the honest-thinking men, who
.; eleaveio their cituntry at all times .and under all
. ..- - alreumstartees—are also advocates and defenders
o the war The ,Federal Editors and, political
Jeaderi f mlie "Strive to give tone and Sentiment to
the pßrtg, drat
,the most reckless hardihood,
gssailt ihePresident.in language so vile, so mix
nsl-up.and running over with unadulterated tory
!isrit. as to disgust and sicken every man who has
• as patriotic heart throbbing in his breast. To
these' patriots (Heaven seise the mark!)
• 'speak', owe would naturally suppose that they were
, .. deleted - soul, body, every'thing, to the interest of
' the lawless banditti of Mexico! Against' these
presses and politicians we hare kept up a continual',
,‘ '-'fire, and relying on- the justness of our cause, we
felt catifitlent of victory. In return for our well
ainted'andeffective blows, we have been denoun-
Ced as a "demagogue . ' and a "time server;' and
other.vola*hets equally as classical and argutnen
,
have been hurled at our devotes' head, by
- those whose pens were employed in defence of the]
•Mexican.ipsolent and perfidious Mexican. Another paper,
•
devoted to the cause of the -wrong-doer, made a I
, :very „illiberal and ungentlemanly personal 'attack!
-F"-upoli us, characteristic of those who hase a poor
cause to defend. These things disturbed not our
equanimity in the slightest degree. We fired away
at the enemy—we pouted 'coney lifter volley of
- hot shot into his camp,—we have stricken down
I 'l4liar=we hags ileaced his guns! For any
Mau or set of men to set themselves up in%tapposi
_. their country, when-e"pri lo s a het,
ne
eessary, righteous star with another poWer, is
and - treasonable. We think we deserve
*ogle credit for convincing the federal editors and
14den• that they were, engaged in an unholy tsar
• fare r aad we trust that they will hereafter speak,
writaand act, as beforces American citizens: Let
-them unite with the Democracy in defence of our
commioa country—let them lay aside all political
•
prejudices ; and resolve to suplillrt the goverhment
•
with all their energies, until the war with - Mexico
is brought to-a speedy; honorable and glorious ter- .
mutation. - • - • •

Rev. Walter Colton, Chaplain of the frigate
Congress, and- Alcalde of Monterey in California,
writes thence' to the Journal of Commerce under
date of Sept. 19th, that the people are pleased with
the change
.of rulers there, and that '-California
must never be surrendered to Mexico." (So that
point is settled.) Ile continues:
...Three thousand emigrants from the United
Sta'.es, it is understood, hate just arrived at San .
Francisco. in two companies. one commanded by
Capt. Ifastrugs and the other by Calm Prussell,
and ten thousand more are on their way.
The frigates Congress and Savannah are here,
also the Erie. She takes the pres.ent bearer of dis
patches with our letter bag to Panama, on her
cruise down the coast. The Congress and Savan
nah leave tchmorrow for the Bay of San Francis-
Co, which they are going to fortify. The U. S.
ship Portsmouth is now here. The Cyane and
Warren-are off Acapalco or Mazatlan; both these
places will be captured, and all other ports of any
importance in .Lower California. The Savannah
will soon return home; she has now been out over
her time, and will" iave been 'absent: all of four
years before she gets Lame.' Stir up' Congress to
send us a steamer out hera; - - We . are waiting for
the arrival of the Potomaii, /The fort here is near
ly finished: It has been built by the crew of the
Savannah, and is a very. formidable affair, I assure
you. It is defended mostly by large brass pieces
captured herei and which are provided with cop-
per balls—rather expensive ammunition.

The ...Zteid elfriktion" is filled with accounts of
the incursions of the Kafirs, and details of skir
mishes between them and the colonists.
The authorities at the Cape are beginning, how
ever, to feel sanguine of soon uringing the Kafirs
to a state of subordination; and they, will either
have to give up their propensity for robbing the
colonists, or be exterminated.

TERRIBLE FLOOD AT DAYTON.
DArroa, January 2, 1847,
Saturday, 3 o'clock.
Cot.. MtnAar—Dear Sir: I have only time to
say to yon before the mail leaves, if it does leave
at all, that we have had a great flood here—the
greatest one that ever was known by the oldest
citizens.. Two•thinls of Dayton has .beerreovered
with water for the last ten hours.
One hundred thousand dollars would* not pay
the damages done to individuals. The State will
also suffer severely; how much, no one can now
tell. Some lives have been lost, it is generally be
lieved—the number, however, is not known.
Hundreds of families have lost every thing they
had of this world's goods—even their houses have
been swept away. Dayton presents a horrible ap
pearance at the present time, and it is impossible
for me to describe it.
A public meeting was held at the City Hall to
day, at I o'clock, at which subscriptions were
made for the relief of the sufferers The
,City
Council subscribed three hundred dollars.

to You,.in their behalf, this sword. .It is a burnish-
a glitterilig, yet a sad symbol of war : It is
presented to you by your friends, cheerfully; well 1
knowing that it will never be sullied by a single,
stain while you have thel strength-to wield it. It
is presented to you, not only as a token of the es

dor and patriotism have gone before you.: .
Those who remain.-;-the friends of your child
hood, of your youth and maturity—part - with you
in a spirit of pride and yet in sadness. Your con

The call to arms has roused you; and you'go
forth in the ardor of your nature, to participate in
the struggle for your country's honor, to the war
of long or short duration. you go with your gal
lant company, sanguine of a glorious result, for
defeat is a word not knowil in the American vo

in the uniform of the Repuhlic,_ conscious of the
righteousness of the war for which you haye vol

it is considered that you are !about to abandon, for
the tented field, a lucrative profession—a proles.
lion high and honorable--of;which you have been
for a number of years 4 member. Its honors and

• Friends and Fillow-Citizens:—.My mind has
.been so unsettled for the past two weeks,—so ma
ny obstacles have t had to eneouuter—that I find
it utterly impossible for me to "respond to the feel
ing address that has been made to me. I have
been contending a6irt.t adVerso circumstances in
my efforts to re-organio the company ;.difficulties
started up not anticipated by me. it is my pride
and my pleasure to say that I have been, at last,
successful. I am yrOud of the noble men who
have enhsted underliny command, and can leaVe
this pledge'that while I live I will not desert them
ignobly.
I expect to leave hi a few days fora foreign
clime. Igo to that War, satisfied that it is just;
and qatistied that I am acting the part of a true
man volunteering in the service of my country.
My consience justifies my course. Mexico has
insulted our flag, and jdriven away our Minister.
All this must be avenged illwe desire to maintain
our standing, amorig the nations of the earth.
If the — pre.sent#ar be continued, I have high
hopes for future Sur army will establish
a new Empire—with Principles which have guar ,

our own people. The Military despotisms which
