But the still liktherimiestion es the policy of a per petual increase of territory. 'England already has in America a larger extent „of -territory than she can peOple lor five hundred years to come. But i the possession or Califorbia,and•perhaps the whole I extent:Of the Mexican proVinCes, iS on the eve of decisiad r ; the American• invasion leas found no re sistance thnt can deserve the - name. The Mexi cans fly, in every quarter, and, a few, discharges of c.annoniput ;them to flight by.thousands, At this moment the whole Mexican republic, equal in eize to half a tlozen European States, appears to be -- crumbling into fragments. The rambling expedi lions of the Americans are ravaging it in all de. Teething with• impunity; and armies which might - have been long since annihilated by a mere guerilla war, hive been suffered to march from -city to city, :with scarcely more resistance than a cattle.steal : lug skirmish. By, the last intelligence; San . Juan d'Ulloa. has fallen. and Vera Cruz has capitulated alter :a eieoe of only three days and a half. The -castle-is tCe strongest fortification in the western - world ; and, as:Napoleon said of Malta, "It is lucky that it had soniebody inside to open, the eeestes for us:" the earlieon of this fortress seems ee to have been placed there merely for the puipost of surrendeting it. At all events, we must regard the contest as de cided. The government has exhibited nothing more than a sullen resolution, ant the people little - more than the apathy of 'their own cattle; the . troops have exhibited no evidence of discipline, l and the only resource of the finance has been in the wihl projects if an edipty exc.hequer. Whe ther the United States es ill be the more prosperouel tor this eonquest, is a question of tune alone—.l . Whether the. facility of the conquest may nor 'make the multitude frantic• for general aggression —whfther the military men of the Statee may not obtain a popularity and assume a power which! has been hitherto confined to civil. life—whether • the attractions of military career may not turn the rising generation from the pursuits of trade and Aill,agei to the idle or the ferocious life of the ,Ameriean-campaig,ner—and whether the pressure of public debt, the necessity- fat maintaining their half-savage conquests-by an army, and the passion' for territorial aegrabilizement, may not urge them to a colonial war with England—are only parts of • the great problem Which the next fire-and-twenty: years will compel the American republic to solve .1 At the same LOW. we cannot avoid looking upon I the invasion of Mexico, as a portion °Fillet extra.; ordinary and inysterious agency which is now , 2 shaking all the great stagnant districts of the I 'world; which has already awaked Turkey in Eu-1 rope and in Alia Minor; which has - Tirane:it Egypt into civilized action ; which has hrokeu down the barbarism of the Algerines, and planted the Prenct standard in place of the fu.ies and' profligacies of! African Mahornetanism. Deeply deprecating the I guilt of thote aggressions, and condemning the crimes, by which they have been sustained, ate , cannot but regard , changes so unexpected, so power • fed, and so simultaneous, as the operation of a higherpoveerehan man's, with objects altogether aupericir to the short-si,ohteduess of man, and am- _ ply bearing the diameter of working good nut of evil which belongs to the history of Divine j dence in all the ages of the world. Them is one peculiarity in these solunies which ewe cannot sufficiently applaud—and that i., the thoroughly Epglish spirit in which they are vi rit tan. Without wee; partiality, for the rea , ons are everywhere assigned; without narrow prejudice,. for the facts are in all instances state I; and with-1 out derogating from the merits of other nation., the work is calculated to give a just conception of the value of England to the world. OA his return from the Sandwich Isles—an in teresting poltion of his travels, to which we base not nosv'time to advert in detail—and preparing to start from the ,Russian poet of New Archangel by a five nionths' journey through the Russian em pire, he gives a glance at what he has done. " I base," says, he, " threaded my way round I ready half the globe. traversine ° about 220 degrees aC longitude, and upwards of lOU of latitude, birely one fourth of this by the ocean. Notsvith-j - 1" standing, all this, I have uniformly felt more at home, with the exception of my first sojourn at Sitka, than I should have felt in Calais. I hove everywhere seen our race, under a great variety of , -circurnstantes, either actually or virtually invested with theeattributes of sovereignty." , After a few words on the vigor of the English ,blood, as exhibited in the commerce, intelligence, and activity of the United States, he returns to the immediate .posessions and prowess of England "I have seen the English posts which stint the wilderness from the' Canadian takes to the Pacific ocean; I have seen English adventurer:, with that _innate power which makes every individual, wheth er Briton or American, a real representative of his country, monopolizing the trade, and influencing the destines of California; and lastly, I have seen the English merchants of a barbarian archipelago, whielipromises, andertheir guidance. to become the'centre of the traffic of‘the east and the west, of the New World and the Old. In saying all this, I have seen less than half the gramluer of the Eng- j lish race.. How insignificant, in comparison, are - all the other nations of, the earth, one nation alone j , excepted. Russia and Great Britian literally gird I the glebe where either continent has the greatest breadth; a feet which, taken in connexion with; their early annals, can scarcely, fail to he regarded as the work of a special Providence. After the fall! of the Roman empire, a scanty mid obscure people :suddenly burst on the west and east, as the dumi-, nint race of the, times; one hie arm of the Normans making its Way to England, while another was es • tablishing its supremacy over the Silas onians of ' the Borysthenes, the two being to meet in opposite directions at the•end of a th ousand years." He regards the gigantic wer of Russia as in ass unconscious co-partnership-with England in the graud cause df commerce and civilization. He _ also makes the curious and true remark, that, not withstanding the astonishing:successes of the Nor mans in Europe, they were neveruurnerous enough to establish their'lammage in any of the conquer.

Many of the exiles are now men of large in: come. ti The diVelling in which we breakfasted 'M day," (says thetritveller) "was that of a person who had been sent to Siberia agaihst his will.— Pindin. , that there was but one way of bettering his condition, he worked hard and. behaved well.

We then have another notice on another subject' Which is at present engrossing the speculations of. all Europe--natnely, the gold country on the Yens issei. Krasnoyayk, the capital, stands in a plain in the centre of the district, where the mania of gold-washing broke nut about fifteen years ago.— Some individuals have been singularly lucky in their search. One person, after having labored in vain for three years, and expending a million and a half of rubles, suddenly, in this very year. ' had hit upon a depot which gave him a,hundred ' and fifty poods of g'old,.wprth thirtydive'thousand ' rubles each, or five millions and a half of rubles Gold here measures everything: a lady's charms 'are by weight, "a pood is a good girl, and two or three ponds are twice or thrive as good as a wife."l This peovinee'lhas alone, in this year, yielded live .hundred ponds of gold. . Ekaterineburg is the centre of the mining dis I •of the Untlian mountains. The population a. mounts to about fourteen thousand, who oi:e all connected with the mines. The town has an Iron foundry, a mint foreoppor and silver coin, and ea rions'establishments for cutting marble, porphyry. I ind polishing precious stones. The neighboring mountains appear to be nature's richest repository of minerals,yielding. in great abundance,diamonds, amethysts, topaoes, &c; gold, silver, iron, and pia. tins.

Now is this treat ing thebe right ? ft is well known that Mr. pu 1 TaylOr,a9 ohc a believer . in Mesmerism and Clairvoyance ; it is a fixed fact that he so expressed himself to hundreds of his fellow-citizens, without equivocation, without secrecy. and under no dread of sneering. Pyrrhonicism ; and in "defining his pc). sition " on this great question, are we now to have, ; instead of the clear element sparkling from the fountain, nothing but discolored tincture;. mixed up in the laboratory of Dr. Lemoyne? Is it honest in a man, usually so candid as Mr. Taylor, thus to I treat the public, and particularly those persons who have declared themseles proselytes to the science, in consequence of attending the exhibitions of Miss Martha, at the urgent request of Mr. Taylor? I. I have conversed with some of our most.ipflu ential and intelligent citizens in regard to" Mr. Taylor's position, and there is but one sentiritent on the subject ; which is, that he must give to the world his original manuseript, without the expurga tions end ementlatiOns of that unbeliever, Lemoyne. I"do not wish to be considered impertinent, but I call on - " Mr. Taylor, as:.a 'descendant of. the Puri tans, as a scholar, as he values the honest regard Of plain-thinking men ' to come out lucidly, ingen uously and unequivocally.with :the thoughts which his own mind have given birth to, and which, it is believed, are clearly impressed - with an unshaken conviction of the truth of the wonderful opera tions' of spirit upon spirit, which is ''misnamed "IVlesmerism."'

A number orour contemporaries of the Demo , ;.' cratic press, have' expressed' themselves, recently, in relation to the assembling of a eonvention of the Democratic party of the Union, in 'the early part of next year. We findjthat the Delegates for the State-at large, have already been appointed on the part of the State of Maine,and no objections, so far as we know, have been offered to the men ure. We trust that there will be none ; and indeed wq '4E, not think that opposition'will be manife . steci by' any portion of the party—unless it may be; to some extent, in the South. 'We would altogether prefer to see all, who , contend for the same great measures of government, acting in. harmonious concert, especially in, the approaching crisis; but weicannot overcome this state of things; we fear, unless by making concessions, which one portion of the party—one portion of the Union.-has no .right to ask or expect of another ; 'and therefore, if we of the Northern, Middle, Western, and the largest portion of the Southern. States, must act .without a representation from the remaining por , non of the Union, the fault will be their own—not QM But we arc not certain that'any portion of the South will hold out iti their objections, to joining with their friends in the other sectionsiif the Union, ea National Convention. The objects designed to be promoted by it, are of as much consequence to:them, as to any portion of the Union ; and the necessity for adhering to the Convention system, is 'almost as great as that which prompted to its adoption. The sarae great. principles which have .divided the country heretofore, are warring against each other . ; the same policy which has led io the teinporary triumph of Federalism, may, unless we shall be united, be successfully resorted to by the Federal party. There are, as there always will be, minor grounds of difference among us, which must be reconciled, in order to insure success ; and, so far as we know, there is no other course whiCh can be resorted to by us, in order to reconcile these differences. We look upcin the Convention system as part and parcel of the DeMocratic formula. It worked . well in the !tarty days of our country. It has! worked well at all subsequent periods. It is in admirable accordance with. the genius of our-t4:2, publican institutions; and it will ever result in good—to our party-and our country,—while con-} dticted as is hos, in the main, been conducted.— Those who are opposed to this system, would sub stitute the will of a few aristocrats, who care null for the will of the people, and disregard their in-. 1 t4rests; and-would leave to their decision, the most important affairs of the country: because there is no other means •by which the ends aimed at can be accomplished. Thus far in our history we find, too, that Con ventions have been opposed, in general, only by those whose interested personal or sectional views, most inevitably be defeated by a resort to them : 1 for the united action of a Convention of delegates from all parts of the Union, cart never lie obtained, in favor of a sectional movement; and the mere party schemer, (if such a man could be brought to the notice of such a body.) must,.in all cases, find himself defeated :—the very organization of a general Convention being designed to promote oh ,teats of n general character, and to defeat mere sectional schemes, and the elevation of men actu• ated by views of personal ambition alone. We are, therefore, unqualifiedly in favor of an adherence to old Democratic usages. We go for a i general Convention of our party, as heretofore; and stand pledged at all times, to support the nomi nee of our party, whoever he may be, regardless of our personal or sectional predilections Such, we know, are the sentiments of the Democracy of Western Pennsylvania; of the whole West; and such we believe to be the sentiments of the mass of the Democratic party, Throughout the country. co"- The Philadelphia Bulletin says, that in the western part of New York, they are paying from $l. 75 to $2. 50 per day, for harvest hands, and not enough men to be had at that. This looks like the promised " two dollars a day and roast beef." In 1840, the Federalists promised •A two dollars a day and roast beef," as an incident which would result from the election of Gen. Harrison; but the old gentleman was elected, and died ;'and those who made the promise refused to redeem it. The Democrats came before the people, in 1844, pledged to do their best to promote the prosperity of the country. They have been a little more than two years in office, and the country was never more prosperous. Such is the difThrence between Fede. ral promises and the ads of a Democratic adminis- tration. The people will understand these thingS. They can easily determine the value of broken pledges, as compared with the facts which are con stantly being pretented to them: (0-The Wheeling Times, of the 28th, says:— " The Whig pole was yesterday let down,• and we regret to s6y, broken; as was expected. in three or four pieces. Well, we hope there will be no oc casion for another one, especially as we have learn ed that the tallest pole does not always knock down the persimmons." • POor fellows! we are sorry for them! What a pity it was they went to all that trouble and ex tense to try to get some of "lAC persimmons," and then failed! But they , L hope there will never be, occasion for another" pole !

It appears that the steamier left Vera Critz on the 14th. at .which time Gen. P. had marched to the neighborhood of Puebla, with 2500 men, and' 150 wagons. The Orleans arrived at Tampico on the 15thi where the captain was intormetl,by Col. Gates of tire departure of Col. Dc Hussey up the river, with. 120 men, .BaltiMoreans, in search of some. Mexi• '. can prisoners who had been released. He had 1 1 landed 60 miles above; and, When near Huojulta, he war...surrounded by 1200 tor 1500 Mexicans. He with much difficulty cut his Way through them, and returned to the river, where he awaited rein forcements. i Col.

De Rtissoy, and 150 oien, to take the place of those who'haii,. been sent Off- W?th him. When the Orleans arrived - it Verii Cruz, on the the city was in a state of great excitement, in consequence of the news just received. Gen. Pierce had encamped ten miles from the city; when stouts:-aine by, and reported that there was a large Mexican force at. the National Bridge, marching towards Vera Cruz. Every thing was immediately made ready for en .expected at tack; and the shipping was; removed from be tween the city and the castle, Gen. Pierce 'cunt]. d to the city, and took with him an additional force of 700 men, and com menced his march to meet the enemy. The requisition of Col. Gates round not, there fore, be complied with . ; but Col. Wilson despatch ed twenty flue marines on the Orleans on her re torn to Tampico, where she arrived on the 18th, and found that Col. De Russey'S detachment laud returned towards II uejatla, and, when in a narrow pass, were again surrounded by the same body of iMexicans, ho commenced a heavy fire upon them "from all directions. -They, however, all fled to the chapparal, after the discharge -or six or eight i rounds of grape shot from the Americans. Col. Be Russey then commenced his return "march for the river, which, after an interval of some days of continuous lighting, he reached, with a loss, in the cwhole tune, of 20 men killed and wounded, two missing, and twenty horses and sixty pack mules. lAmong the number killed were Capt. Boyd and Lieut. Tannehill. Col. De Russey himself receiv. 'ed several shots through his cloak ; arid Capt. Wise had three horses shot under him. The Mex icon loss is reported at 150.. Limit. Whipple had beer. lassoed near Vera Cruz. Capt. Wm. Dotf died on the 16th. Lieut. Parker, of the Navy, died on the 12th, on board the Mississippi. The Sun of Anahuac, of, the 13th, says that a private express from Puebla brings intelligence of the arrival of Gens. Cadwallader and Pillow, with their tritins, at Perote. They had been attacked at Lahayo ; but had completely routed the enemy with a small loss on the American side. .E.x• presses which left at 3 o'clock on that day, say that news hail been received on the day previous, that the three comnfisSionera appOinted by Mexi co had met Jlr. Trilit at San Martin. A letter from iMexieo says'theie is no doubt that a treaty, will be concluded immediately by the commissioners.; that the peace party is so strong, Santa Anna will probable be compelled to pro nounce, for peace. . The names of the commissioners, as given, are Garosnz, Baranda and Tomei. Gen,.,l'illokvs command had reached. Puebla An express rider from Gen. Scutt, for Vera Cruz, had been. murdeied, after a desperate resistance. The Picayune express hhd also been attacked, robbed. of letters, and left on the road for dead, but had been . enahled to reach Vera Cruz. Some. letters sny that peace is the order of the day; but others express the opinion that Santa Anna only wishes to gain tune. The New Orleans papers of the 23d are yet due.

Th , matter of Mesmerism and Clairvoyance has been thoroughly tested by Mr. T. His obstinacy, which upon second thought, we so much admire, did vex us somewhat at first. We are not alone in a just appreciation of the course of this gentleman, upon the subject which has agitated the community for weeks. We observe that the press of the city, without exception, are eagerly calling upon Mr. Taylor for an exposition of his views. So are all the citizens who attended the exhibitions of the Mesmeric experiments.
