The Richmond Enquirer administers a %ery just' rebuke to a Federal editor in that neighborhood, who has impeached the motives of Mr. DALLAS, for making the declarations which be recently made, in relation to the true course to be pursued by the Democratic party. But, in the course or this reboke,be.says:— , there bi " obscurity "in Mr. Dallas' I.in• guage, it is the same "obscurity " Which we find in the language employed by Mr. Calhoun and the most zealous advocates of southern rights.— Indeed, Mr. Dallas has Here laid down extreme j Southern ground. It is strange, indeed,. that he sboidd•be assailed by a Southern print for taking a - pcitiition entirely southern I" ,The position assumed by our co laborer is an unjust one i and yet it is one too generally assumed by our ..southem brethren. Mr. Dallas claims to be a Democrat, of the school of Thomas Jeirerson; and w•e believe the, editor of the Enquirer refers to the vrritlings of•the " sage of Illonticello - " as his political: text-book. That greq. man, though a Virginian—a Southern man by birth, education, and association;—a.laver of, the State -which he honored toil; her sons, and all - that pertained to her7,—wadnot merely a Virginia Democrat. He 'recognized the principles which he so zealously contended for, as not merely over principles; but-as designed to operate over our whole Union; - as calculated for enlightened freemen in every part 433% the wurldi and probably his great mind .could 'imagine them adapted for - the government of en ligi*sied men in every age of the world. We cannot imagine why it is, that the editor of tlt . gnqnirei, and most of our Southern friends, spejtici. of the position of Mt... Dallas in relation to lheytrilmot Proviso as "entirdy Southern." Our iiiiiittintance has_ been pretty extensive, with the liiuminent Deamcrats of the middle and western Staten, and we are quite sure that they reflected tha,Sentitnerits of the mass of the Democracy in those States; and with few exceptions, we know that they are as sound in their political principles, end as zealousin sustaining them, as the members of ttie Democratic Party in any other quarter of tbe.Union. They have adopted the views of Mr. Jefferson, in relation to the constituririnai powers ofOur'government; and, go before the people as the supporters of those views; and in all cases, where they have contended solely upon the broad the political principles of that eminent statesman, they have secured a triumph—if not presently, at least eventually. We think that the views of Mr. Dallas are those of the great body of the Democratic party—not merely of the South, bast . ..the eastern, . the middle, and the western _ States . ; and we therelore object to this exclusive claim to excellence, which seems to be asserted so frequently by our brethren of the South. We are willing to yield to that section of the country as Treat a share of devotion to the principles of Jef. iirsonian.Democracy as we claim for ourselves; b g ilt ir greater ; and we think that facts, in the history of the Democratic party, will sustain us in asserting as great a chi m to devotion as our brethren of that section can establish. In our '•#pport of Democratic principles, we know no North or South, no East or West ;—we contend f . , for the Union, in all its broad and beautiful ex panse; and cannot confine ourselves to any State or section in it. We believe that the good of all -is the design of that Union ; that the South has no rights connected with the General Government, Which are not equally enjoyed " by any other sec tion of the Union, or any other State of the con• federacy.; that no State or section can constitu tionally interfere or meddle with the institutions of 'iMother ; and that when any sectional interest shall preponderate, we may bid " farewell, a long farewell, to all our greatness." It is true, we concede much to the " Ancient Dominion." In all our presidential contests, (even in the darkest days of the Republic,) she has shone forth a "bright particular star, - in the political fr4nament. She has, on almost every important occasion, thiown her influence in Ivor of the great Measures supported by the Democracy of tie country; and she has, in consequence, secured that confidence, among her sister States, which a consistent course so justly entitles her to ; but all this will not justify the assertion of an exclusive claim to political 'orthodoxy-even on the part of Virginia; and if it were just to assert such a claim, we greatly question the correctness of the policy of its assertion. No good can be accomplished by it ; and we can think of much evil that may re vault.' There are to' many minds in our country-- even among professed- Democrats—which seem to be prompted to action rather by sectional and per serial considerations than by great constitutional ones; and in such minds, no sentiments but those of distrust and jealousy are likely to be engender ed.. Let us strive to overcome all such sentiments, rather than foster them. Let , us look upon our principles with reference to their truth, and their applicability to the government of the Union— leaVing all matters of merely State policy to be /arranged by the States themselves. Let us discard ovary sentiment calculated to disturb the harmony of the great Democratic party of the Union; and in our reference to general results know no section or State; anti we have nothing to fear from the enemies Of our principles. And whenever it shall Unfortunately occur, that some of those who have b j . een with us, choose to set out upon some other track, Or seek to make a companionship (or them selves, let us do as we have heretofore done —leave them to themselves; and to the kind consideration of our Federal opponents. We best support our principles, when w-e sustain the men who have proved most devoted to them; and tine should be done without any especial reference ta.laiarticular section of the Union. We, have written much in this connexion, which ill not applicable, by way of sugges -tiorycaution, or otherwise, to•our co-laborer of the Enritiirer.

CoastsTZNCT.--The Federalists of the South• ern States say that they are opposed to the annex. ation of Mexico to our territory,, because it will give a preponderance to the non-Slavehulding States; those of the eastern and middle States'are opposed to our taking Mexican territory, because of slavery which sw ill result, while the same class of politicians in the West. are for or against to suit their local purposes.

The Demo:rcey of Penns)lvania are nohdispos ed to adopt the views of Mr. Wilmot in Aviation to the Proviso which be proposed: and which is re ferred to, in-some quarters, as a mutterer sopucb importance as to overcome every other considera tion. They believe, with Mr. Dates and Mr- BUCHANAN, that the ;peculiar institution," espe cially referred to in that Proviso, is one which is to be properly regulated, only by the people among whoth it exists; that the States of this Union in which it exists, alone have the power to abolish it ; that the people of those States in which it does not exist, have the right to adopt it, if they see fit; and that there is no good to be attained by going out of our way to.dictate to our nerObors, or to interfde with their business. The consideration of this matter, therefore, so far as the Demorcacy of Penn sylvania are concerned, did not enter into the con test in any manner. The federalists tried to bring a discussion of it into the canvass, but it would not take. They soon became satisfied that the De: mocracy of the state was disposed to mind their own business, and leave the business of their neigh, tors to be attended to by them. ' So far as the principles of the Tqriff of '18.113 are concerned, the late result was a stilendid triumph; as all the leading Federal papers of the State made that law one of the issues, which we accepted.— We defended the act, from the dioment of, its pas. sage; and the prosperity of our state, and Orthe country, under its wholesomeoperation, has made it decidedly popular with the mass of the People, of bOth parties. The Tariff of 1810 is triumphantly sustained in Pennsylvania; Tut: .Wirolii" AND THE WAIL—The Wabhing, ton Union, of the 27th, has a lengthy article viith respect to the policy of conducting the tear, from hich see make the following—extracts: We notice also, that the Baltimore American, of this morning. speaks of the conquest and the ac quisition of the whole of Mexico; as if such a pur. pose had been put forward and advocated by the "Union." All this is utterly gratuitous and un t.ourided. We have taken no such position—we hair uttered no such declaration. All this—in so far as it professes to state the course of this journal—is a gross mistake, not to say a wanton misrepresentation. Far ourselves, ise have never undertaken to determine how large a portion of Mexican territory ought to be required by our gotern-nen• • in the form of a territorial in derimity. We have given no opinion on this sub ject, either before the late renewal of hostilities or since. Still less have we undertaken to give, upon this poin', any indication whatever, of the purpose; and policy of the administration. In a matter of such moment and delicacy, indeed, we should dep recate at this time—while the war is yet waging, and just after the enemy had broken off negotia tions—any detailed disclosure of the terms ot pe'ace, upon which our government may intend to insist. But the recent events in Mexico have, as we suppose, folly settled some points, in the judgment of the people of this country. 'First among these, we may mention the general approval, throughout the c iuntrY, of the terms olpeace contained in the treaty furnished to Mr. Trist. when viewed in con• nexion with the circumstances existing at the time when that basis of pacification was adopted by our governmew. In the second place, there is a sentiment, and apparently a growing sentiment, among many of the people of this country, in our judgment, who regard the reception given to our proffered terms by Mexico, and the consequent resumption of boo. tilities, as constituting a new outrage against us by the Mexican government, and as demanding new and orhittional reparations in the conditions of peace fah ch may be hereafter agreed upon.— They consider the nature and extent of this addi tional reparation and indemnity, as varying with circumssances, and as depending in sonic degree upon the spirit which the Mexican ruleisshall hereafter display. But, in regard to this senti ment end these views, we ceit cnly have express ed no f p mon at all. One thing however, appears to befinally settled, in the convictions of th country. The next over tore for peace must come from Mexico. lice rul ers have shun n their utter inability to comprehend or appfeciate the forbearing and peaceful spirit in which we have heretofore taken and constantly alaiiitained the initiative in negotiations. The war must now go on till Mexico shall ask for peace, or at least until we shall have dictated and enforced upon her satisfactory terms of peace. and settled in our own hands satisfactorylindemnlty for all the wrongs and losses we have borne. 1,1 the third place, we suppose it will now be regarded throughout 'our country, as a settled point, that the war must, to the fullest practicable ex tent, be henceforth waged at the expense of Alexi. co. bhe has elected to renew it, and she must bear much of its burdens. She must be made to feel the Keigltt of militaivy contributions, under the rigor of martial law in her provinces and in her cities. Her guerilla system of warfare, in so tar as it departs front the usages and the rules of civilized war, must be met and chastised on our part by corresponding severity. Her guerillas, as they are organized, and as they now operate, are brigands rather than soldiers; and as such they must be treated. It is, we believe, to such print les of policy and procedure on our, part, that the untry now looks for its only hope of a speedy an honorable peace. With this view, we doubt not, that when Congress assembles,'ample provision will readily be made of all the means requisite in our future operations in Mexico, to uphold at once the justice and the honoeof the country. I=l Episcopal Gourd Convention.—After the rejec tion uf .the i two canons of Mr. Ingersoll, on Tues day, indirectly intended as a bar to Bishop Cinder. donles restoration, a canon was finally adopted, which empowers the House of Bishops, as a body, to . remit the sentence of that functionary. The general impression seem§ to be that the House of Bishops will not act immediately in the matter.— They also adopted the two other canons first re pOrted by the joint committee, limiting suspension, and authorizing the election of provisional bishops. (In Wednesday, the 27th, the House of Bishops adopted a proposition to strike out a certain por tion of canon 9, of 18.11, with a view to lower the standard of age (to 21) requisite for entering the office of deacon, thus removing an obstacle to ttie increase of the ministry in the South and West.— Both Houses have concurred in adopting the re prt of the committee, re-appointing the old hoard of missions for the ensuing three years, except that Rev, Drs.

The Union, in coneection with this official report, says:— It appears by the statement of the Treasurer which x e publish this day, that the net balance in cash fit the Treasury is p,835,000. Upon inquiry, it appears that the amount 01 the loan and treasury notes yet to be paid in is near s s , ool f. ooo —mak in all, of cash that could be used before the meet ing of Congress, nearly ten millions of dollars.— But to this should be added, probably, $4,000,000 of accruing revenue up to that date from customs, lands, Mexican tariff, and we have the sun, of $14,000,000 applicable to the expenditures for the month preceding the approarbing session of Congress; thus proving that we shall not be out of funds at that date We also call attention to the official statement, published above, of the receiptsand expenditures tor the last quarter. This is the first quarter of the first fiscal year under the tariff of 18-I0 The receipts from all sources during this quarter, it will be seen, are $17,174,130, and the total expendi lures for the same quarter, $14,700,139 80—t/rrui showing an crews of reiripts over rxpenditures for that quarter, of ,V 2,473,901. If, however, we de- 1 1 duct the proceeds (as well as payments) from loans and treasury notes from each column respectively, it will leave the receipts for the quarter $11,918,- 430 and the expenditures $14p75,950 thus show ing, an excess of expenditures for the quarter over receipts of $1,157,520. It is estimated, however, that the receipts from the Mexican tariff in addi tion, during the last quarter, exceeded $500,0001 which (excluding the avails of loans and treasury notes) would make the excess of expenditures - over revenue Our the quarter about $1.057,000.. But as to the new tariff, the nelf`revenue from customs under it, actually paid into the Treasury fur the first quarter of its fiscal year—namely, f.om 30th June, 1817, w 3!)th Sept-mther, 1347, —we see is $11,070,000.

CAUTIOIV 79 THE PUBLIC A LEXANDER"JAYNEB is the only authorised ti.„ , agent in Pittsburgh and Allegheny cities, for the sale of the Pekin Tea Company's Teas of 75 and 77 Fulton et., New York. Another perion in Pitts burgh pretending to sell our teas is an impottor, and deceives all who may patronise him. It is common ly known that the Pekin Tea Company's teas have proved superior to all other teas sold, and for this reason many persons have dishonestly pretended to have the sale of the Pekin Tea Company's teas, when they are all the time vending trash and cheap stuff which they have obtained elsewhere. • Others again assume the name of Tea Company and imi. tate our packages and thereby deceive many.- We ale informed that there is a person in Pittsburg selling Teas under the name of the New York. and Philadelphia Pekin Tea. Company.. We have only to , say that this assumed company have no connection whatever with -the New York Pekin Tea Company; as consumers of tea will readily discover by corn- I paring the article they sell With:the genuine tea, sold by the New York Pekin Tea'CoMpaity, at the store of A.

Her conduct was that'Otett insane person. - The unconcerned expressio'n 6r!ser_ eye; and idotic smile, added to her conduct a the time of the arrest, all, tended to the 'same , point—in-, sanity, - ' .
