• The a_ancient inhabitants of Great Britain • and
Ireland are .known in history by the name of
Celts; but origin is lost in remote antiqui
ty. Sir' Richard Phillips suggests, that the Celts
may have been, colc;iiiet from the Marais, mixed
subsequently with the Plunicians; Carthagenians,
• and ,Gauls; but where, - ,I ask, were those Atlan
tiel—Tacitis believed the Celts to be of German
'otigin; but 'there in no affinity between their lan
gnaw and the Teutonic; "other historians set
_them ,dosin is colonists of the Gaula. But a
ponds rho bad no written annals,- and whose
. history was confined to traditions and songs, may
be regarded u. objects sten amid the gloom of
right, obscure and indistinct, whose outline we
might even, fail in correctly describing. The
language of the Western Irish is said to bear a
strong resemblance to the Punic, and their alpha

,
The Saxon government, laws, manners, custo ms,
and language, were introduced and perfectly es
tablished in Britain; and no after event in its his.
tory, ever loosened the tenacious hold.which these
Germanic !adventurers had taken upon the Britleb
soil. When the Norman standard of William the
Conqueror floated over the Saxon towers, which
Was a bloldless conquest compared with thArs, an
effort, wai-Made to change the laws of the people;
but it signally failed. The Norman institutions
fell into disuse ; and the English Constitution and
language, at this day, remain radically and essen
tially Anglo Saxon.
The Saxons and Angles, or Anglo-Saxons, es
tablished seven kingdoms, in South Britain, corn
monly'knowras the Heptarcby; which, after a
variety of inferior revolutions, compared by Mil
ton to combats of kites and crows, were united,
A. D. 827, under Egbert; who thus became
of ExoLsen; At this period the Anglo-Saxons
flattered themselvei; from their internal tranquility,
and the spirit of Christianity, which had been
spread among thern,by the preaching of St. Au
gustine, that they should enjoy the beautiful island,
won by the swords of their fathers—in peace and
security. ,But human foresight is very limited.
A fleet of pirates, of the same origin of themselves,
Under the. name of Normans, or north-men, made
a descent upon, the country; but these, after several
bard fought battles, were totally defeated by Egbert.
On the death of this able. and vigorous monarch,
Ethelwolf began a reign, which is distinguished
only by the incursions of the Danes, who burned
the cities of. London and Canterbury; but who
were defeated in, several englgements, without
effecting a permanent settlement. He was suc
ceeded by his sons, Ethelbald, Ethelbert, Ethelred,
and A Lilian. •
When Airrazn came to the throne, a gloomy
and portentous cloud hung over England. The
northern hives were on the wing, covering the land
and the ocean. England, won from the Britons by
.thlE strong armed Saxon, might yet be the prize of
the steel-clad sons of idolatrous Denmark. Against
his elder brothers, the Danes bad been successful;
and it required all the vigor and abilities of the
young king, to sustain himself against the invaders;
who, greedy of spoil and'slaughter, poured upon
his devoted.country like,the continuous waves 01
a boisterous sea.:ln this dark and gloomy h our,' J
when the Saxon spirit waxed faint, and the bravest
hearts began to dispair, Alfred assumed the high .
station to which he wasbeir; and, comprehending
the situation of his people, and their means of re
sistance, and coneciJus of his own powers, he
determined to rid his country of its invaders, or
perish in the attempt. Prudent as he was brave,
Alfred watdhed every opportunity to infuse his
heroic spirit, into the Saxons; and prepared them
by his fiery eloquence, to,avenge the insults xhich
were heaped upon them; and to consider death
far preferable to dishonor. Ile led them against
the enemy; and was victorious insight successive
battles; and, although Denmark watt widowed by
the battle axes of the English, yet the chi7alrous
_Northmen poured in to fill up the broken ranks.
and to avenge the fall of their countrymen. The
struggle was fierce and protracted. Inflamed by
the lust of conquest, and excited with the hope of
possessing lands more fair and fertile than their
own, these accomplished warriors displayed such
skill, perseverance and courage, that the fair-haired
English, disputing every step, were at last driven
into the morasses and forests, overwhelmed by
numliers, but not conquered. .

• Notwithstanding the wrongs committed by Mex
ico upon citizens of "this country, and "the insults
offered to our flag—all of which were Borne tiy us,
because of the condition of that goveiziment,—
the Editor of the Pittsburgh Gazette continues to
denounce the war, and to impugn the : hiotives of
the administration and its friends in curtaining it.
He goes even further than this; and a sickly
sentimental article about a patriotism," i recognises
the brave men, who have volunteered to serve
their country in the war with Mexico, is "crimi•
nals, delivered over from the common jail to the
recruiting station," "paupers just lartiled from a
foreign shore," " drutikards,•who enlitit under the
influences of inebriation," and those who place the
church of God " many degrees below the bar-room
and pot-house." The patriotism of than who are
defending their country's rights, in hod against
Mexico, he has "defined u that whiciir" is always
the last resort of scoundrels." 1t isivain in its
purposes, cruel in its modes of execution, and
destructive in its end. It is false to truth, to
honor, and to all uprightness." He declares that
"no man, nor any nation, can live and thrive, while
relying upon such an ungodly abuse of power."
All these patriotic expressions area directed ,
against those who-are engaged in the prisent war:
for the Editor designates the wars of 1778 and
1812 as "defensive" wars, which, from the manner
in which he alludes to them, wety suppose he
justifies—though the probability. i fiery strong
that, in both, he would have been on the side of
Great Britain, as he now ts 0o thatl,of Mexico;
and for the same reason:—his affinities are with
the same class of Men, who constituted the oppo
sition to both. But the Editor of the Gazette can
recognise the wars of 1778 and 181 1 2 as defensive
wars, while he denies that charactecto our present
contest with Mexico, is a question that can better
be decided by those refined casuists, who can a
hair divide betwixt the south and southwest side."
In the two former Cases, we declared war against
the most powerful nation of the earth, in order to
obtain redress for wrongs inflicted upon us by her.
In the latter case, we endured wrong* more numer
sus than were ever endured br a pdiverful nation,
without resorting to any stringent Measures; and
only reported to arms, when the bldod of some of
our bravest and best citizen; had been shed by the .
citizens of Mexico, acting under tier authority;
and after she had declared war against us.
We will do the Editor of the Gazette the justice
to say, that none of the expreisions4rhich we have
quoted above, stigmatizing the gallant men who
have died in defending their country's rights, and
those wbo are now exposing themielves to death,
to sustain her honor, are plainly, openly, and bold.
ly directed against them; but they not the less
aimed at i every man in the service. His patriotic
appeal is directed against the war in all its phases,
and the actors in it, are, without - - aception, virtu
ally accused of sustaining such a.-iivar as he pro
nounces *the last resort of scoundrels." Neither
be nor his party have the hardihood to utter boldly
such sentiments; but they are none the less dis
graceful to our country.,-no less derogatory to the
character of our countrymen—aiiir do they any
less truly express the real sentiments of the major.

This war, says the Editor of ttie Gazette, is 'the
lowest and meanest, which can piissibly engage ha
attention of any peopleYißecatijle the object of it
is "the avowed subju ation of Mexico." " ei
therefore charge upon I e President and the Ad
ministration, a went of a rues in the
origin, prosecution, and design of . this Mexican
war." A careful regard for justice would dictate,
that so sweeping an assertion, as this, should have
some foundation in fact; or,- that there-should be so
plain and obvious a difference between the avow
als of the parties thus charged,land their acts, as
would leave no reasonable ground, upon which to
`base a contrary inference. Ilitlesi this can be
shown to be the case, we are perfectly justified,
under all the rules of argument and of evidence,
in charging upon the utterers of such statemehts
wilful and deliberate misrepreuntation. 'The in
structions given to Gen. Taylor were, to occupy a
position on or near the Rio Grande, (which are
alleged as the immediate cause of the war,) were
given with direct reference, as avowed in the letter
of instructions itse , t an invasion by Mexico of
the territory of Texas, an the-basis of, these in
'tractions was, the fact th Mexico was known to
be concentrating a large Tee on the Rio Grande,
long before Gen. Taylor was directed to, leave his'
encarnpment on the Nueces; and before he moved
at all, a large body of Mexicans, acting under the
orders of their government, had crossed the Rio
Grande, and 'opposed his advance to that river,
very shortly after he left his encampment on the
Nueces. No hostile movement Was either made
or in contemplation, until a portion of our little
army on the Rio Grande was inhumanly butcher
ed by Mexican soldiery, and that -act. of hostili
ty, and that alone, Was Tall IMMEOIATZ * CAIIIIO 07

It is altogether preposterous for the Editor of
the Gazette, or any other man, tril:try and produce
the.impression, upon the minds'of the people, that
any other cause either directly led, to the war : or,
that any other, at that juncture, could have led to
it, unless Gen. Taylor bad violated his instructions;
—and he has never yet manifested, a disposition.to
go beyond their strict letter so far as we have
learned. Any man, who entertains a contrary
belief, is deceiving himself, by relying upon some
other grounds for forming his judgment, than any
act of, or any, authority assigned by, the govern
ment,,or attemptd to be exercised by it: for every
letter. of instruction, emanating from the seat of

We perceive, from some of oir eastern exchan
ges,- that exertionii are being• made, in tieveral
quarters, to - meliorate the condition of this esti
mable clan of the young men. - of our country.
The latest movement of the kind. to !drhich we
allude, was in Buffalo, 4, there a large
number of merchants have agreed, that their
stores shall be closed at night, from• the first of
November, until the opening of navigation'in the
Spring; and the probability-is, that this step will
be taken by all, whose business will admit of tna•
king the change. j
This is a movement, at which we are greatly
pleased ; fdr no class df young nien are more
generally intelligent; and, under the present system - ,
none have more limited opportunities for acquir
ing information ; and thus becoming - fitted, in a
bigh degree, for the more important duties of
social and public life. With perhaps nine tenths
of the merchents;of all I tlescriptions, during the
greatertportion of the year, there is no necessity
whatever, for having their stores kept open and
lighted up;tintil eight or . Line o'clock at night ;
thus depriving the young men in their employ of
many hours of relaxation, innocent amusen:tent,
or useful infprmaticn.
There is no portion of Our population, perhaps,
who could not u well Make their arrangements
with ii'view to meet this hange ; or, if the change
would fall rather hard upon any, a single night
(say Saturday) might still be given to thosewbo
are confined by their employment,during the rest of
the week. The subject is one worthy of, attention
even with reference to the interests of merchants
themselves—in the great * saving of lighr, fuel, &c.
during the fall and winter; and we hope it may be
taken into conbideration•by all our merchants.
lion. Geo. al. Dallas.
We give, below, some l of the latest expressions
of sentiment, in relation to the speech of out dis
tinguished fellow-citizen; on the occasion of his
recent visit to this city. •
At a public meeting of the citizens of Laurens
county, South Carolina, assembled witboutdistinc.
ton of party, the following resolution was unani
mously adopted:
"Resolved, That we hail with much sattsfac
tint, the noble speech of the Hon. Geo..m. Dallas,
recently deliVered at Pittsburgh, wherein he declared
that "1 am of that old school of democrats who
will never compromise the Constitution of my
country." ,"Thie is one of the words not to be
found in that instrument.,
,There is but one politi
cal course which a roan can take in safety to his
conscience." . 4 That course is a strict adherence
to the Constitution.",
The editor of the Muscogee (Georgia,) Demo.
crat, thus handsomely hits off the charge of De.
magogueism, made against Mr. Dallas::
"'That casting vote of Mr. Dallas on the tariff
bill, and his speech. at Pittsburgh, in the face of
the supposed interests and prejudices of the people
of his own State—Pennsyl vani a—were very dema.
goguical exhibitions, certainly! It used to be the
case, that demagogues flattered the passions and
cajoled the feelings of 'the pupulaca—running down
the current in full sail—but :Mr:Dallas it a "
gngue " of uniqUe character, who rows against the
" wind and tide" of public sentiment, in order to
gain place and power."
- Andre*: liner, Esq.
Our readers will remember the admirable letter
We published from this fearless and thorough.
going democrat, just before our State Election,
exposing the unholy deeds of the Church-burn
ing natives of Philadelphia. It appears that he
allowed the friends of General Taxccia, at Her.
risburgh, to use his name as a member of tI4,
"Demociatic Taylor Central Committee," under
the belief that the General was in, no respect
identified as the federal Whig 'party; but finding
that he was mistaken in the. General's political
views, he promptly addressed the following can
did letter to the Chairman of the Taylor State
Central Committee:
PIIILAD/LPHIA, Oct. 23, 1847.
Dear Sirr:—When I gave my consent to become
a member of fhe "Democratic Toytor State
Central Committee," 1 did so in the hope and ex
pectation, that when General Taylor saw fit to
make his political predilections known, he would
develope opinions and Sentiments that would ena•
ble Democrats to support him with ptopriety and
consistency.
I was aware that he had said, that he . would
not accept a party nomination, but I was of the
opinion that at the time of the assembling of the.
Convention of. 1848, the- circumstances. might be
such as to render it necessary to do with regard
to the-nomination for the Presidency, the same
that was done; respecting the nomination for the
Vice Presidency, in 1840.
But in a letter published not long since, he
says be is a o Whig," and in another published
more recently he says, what,if be had voted •in
1844, he would have voted for Henry Clay. He
has thus'placed himself in such a position that I.
cannot, as a cnnsistent Democrat, any longer
support him for.:he Presidency, and you will there
fore please withdraw my name from the Dem•
ocratic Taylor State Central Committe," of
which you are Chairman.
Very respectfully, yours,
ANDREW MILLER.

ezr The Beaver, Argus, with a spirit of candor
which we scarcely anticipated, takes back his false
and slanderous statements in regard to.the editor
of this paper not being a voter. He says: nßefore
we saw hii last article we were. satisfied of our
mistake, which , is _now taken back." This wili
do very well ; but we are rather astonished that
the - editor of ,the Argus, who professes to be a
shining light in the ranks of the party which arm
gates•to itself the possession of all the deCency,"
as well as !, all the intelligence " of the country,
should permit himself to use fowl blackguard epi
thets, and assert that we entertain malice towards
him. We can assure Mr. Henri that we do not
harbor a particle of malice towards him or any
living being. W 4 'have not the disposition to
harm him in the leak. We are as much opposed
to personal controversies as he can' possibly be;
and it is only"when statement's are made by our,
political opponents, calculated 'to convey a false
impression, in relation to our acts or opinions,
that we consent to notice them as a matter of
self-defence. Statements similar to those of the
Argus were fabricated by several of the federal
editors of this city; but we never took the trouble
of refuting them; as svefelt assured that those edi
tors would not have the magnanimity to make
the amen& honorable, after we might satisfy them
of their gross errors,• and' wicked falsehoods. -To
undertake to detect and correct the fabrications of
a majority of the federal editors of the day, would
belt task equal to that imposed upon Sysipbus--
'still beginning, never ending!
Detect the fib, the sophistry in vain, -
The creatures are at their dirty work again!"
Toe JEWS, IN Fracy.--:Fiom a letter of Dr.
King, the American Missionerr to Greece, dated
September 27th, we learn that there is a very gen
eral movement being made in Italy, with a view
to meliorate the condition of the Jews. Petitions
beaded even by the priests, and large bodies of the
Jews themselves, with priests at their head, have
visited the. Pope, praying for liberty to the unfor
tunate and oppressed Israelites. This is another,
among the many cheering signs which we have
lately seen from that country. .

Ma. CLAY LSD Tax PRESIDENCY: It is con
