It toittt tale ' a treatise, instead of an imperfect; sketch like this, to portray tbe actions, and chron-', idethe institutions, of this great founder 'of the English monarchy. It was he , who made the discovery that• • m Britannia needs - nei bulwarks, to towers along - - her steep, For hei march is o'er the mountain wave, her ' 'home is on'the deep;" • 'and, vigorous to execute, as he was sagaciout to receives he soon had his - ships upon the brine ; and equal, if not superior, to those which had been • fitted *hi; theldrates of the north; and which had so long earned terror and desolation on their liiam, - from - the stormy shores of Scandinavia to the Pillars of Hercules., Invasion followed invasion, and . the , Danish and Frigein ships, laden with the - hardy borderers of the German.

',The - Sabi chrimiclee contain accounts of fifty six! • fatties fought in,person• by Alfred; and although ' ;t eve splendid triumphs over the invaders of his country, won for him, from an admiring world, the merited title Of Gassx, yet they fall into' insignificance when compared with his moral and intellectual Achievements; attained under circum. -,. stances of the greatest difficulty; and which re fleet a halo of imperishable glory around his name.'

But though rigorous in the administration of Justice, and in the repression of, crime, yet he preserved the Most sacred regard for the liberty of his people ; and one sentiment is 'recorded in his Will, which should endear his memory, wherever the Anglo-Saxon language is spoken; and which, (when I ;end it for the first suggested to my mind the Farewell Address of Washington; it is " IT 18 /GIST THAT THE ENGLISH SHOHLD FORETELL REMAIN PATH 'AC TUTIR own Taorsirrs." The -offices of Aldermen, District Judges, and County Sheriffs, were created by Alfred, and yet auvivs in England, as well as in America; but an institution, of more importanCe than. these, and dear to every descendant of the Anglis Saxon race, Tax TRIAL as Scar, should of itself alone give immortality and eternal honor to the name of the great haw giver. The Habeas Corpus was an act of later times. . I must draw my sketch of Alfred to a close, though I feel that 1. have not done justice to his memory. The encourager of manufactutes; the promoter of the arts and sciences; the protector of navigation and commerce ; the rewarder of in dustritt, the founder of cities;—Alfred stands alone, the only monarch of England ; worthy of the bow -1 age and admiration of posterity. Assor says that Nature, "profid of her . darling chil4," bestowed on him every bodily accomplishment—vigor of liinbs, cignity of shape and air—with a pleasing, engag ing, and open countenance ; but one thing was wanting, and that was a historian, worthy to transmit his fame .to future ages. Alfred died on the '"it.h of October, A. D., 901, being fifty two years of age, - and having reigned twenty nine years and Six months.

The:editor of the Gazette Bays that the judg• meet of the people in relation tothe war, ..gletnamla from the Representatives ot the People e i Neasure m of cendemnation equal to the usurpat i on which the President has been guilty." By what tribunal hasthe guilt the treSident been pronounced? When did the trial talte place? Who were the witnesses, upon whose testf i inonfhe was found guilty I and who' were the counsel on behalf of the prosecution 1 1 These are questions, upon a satisfactory answer of Which Mari is Much depending. To the first we need only sSayillhat there is a tribunal competent . to decide apon the question of usurpation by . the Preeidenti; but, so far as we have any knowledge, he has no been at , raigned before that tribunal, neither 9n this charge nor on any other involving a dereliction of duty, or a violation of his official obligations. Still, in order to pronounce a man guilty, With any show of' justice, there must hav'e been at least the form of i a trial, an examination of witnesses, and arguments of counsel. But not even is such a foundation as this offered, on which to base the assertion. It is true, there are those who have made &great blue teriabout their own patriotism, and usurpations of power by the Executive; and some who have talked of volunteering as counsel for the country, and'convicting our more thaqpiutocratic President, (as they term him,) of the most flagrant another: Lions of power; but every sensible than, even among the number of those who talk so loudly about usurpation, knows that it is only talk ;—that there is no ground upon which to base a charge of want of patriotism or a violation of duty-upon Mr. Polk, or any member of his Cabinet. There- 1 fore, if these patriotic witnesses were :called upon to testify, under oath, they would be forced to ad mit, that they did not believe their own assertions to be true; or.to tear, throughout life, the pangs of conscious perjury. , _But the President has been brought to the bar. of public opinion, to answer to this charge of "sour. pation ;" and counsel, learned in the law, hive volunteered against him. , In all cases of voltinteer eocinsel, the assumption is, that the sympathies of the counsel are on the side which be has volunteer. ed to sustain. If the party be arraigned as a mi. manal, there are peculiar circumstances in the case calculated to induce a belief of innocence, or oil guilt, on the mind of the volunteer counsel, of so' powerful a character, as to mark the act.with all' ' the impress of charity to the accused.or of distin guished regard for the public ; and, in crinsemance of this feeling of sympathy, all the energies and powers of the mind and the soul, are. :ailed into action, to sustain the cause in which the counsel has volunteered. Against the-Piesident; we find the volunteer counsel thus conteqding—tkat accord ing to the usage" of the courts, not in due form and manner of law; but with • all the ardor of those who (eel that a principle, deemed by them more sacred than another', is involvei: To show the nature of the sympathies that have been aWo kened against President Polk, leading to the dis tinguished array of volunteer counsel against him , let us look, for a moment, into.the past; and see if we can find any parallel, by which to guide us in forming a just conclusion, respecting the nature of these sympathies, now an pOwerfully awaken ed, and with such an 'astounding outcry of patriot EPHRA C. S. PORTER By tracing 'the history of our country as far back as the time of our last war with Great'Brit stn, w e find that nearly all •of those, now living, who were - then arrayed against James Madison, and that war, are now arrayed against James K. Polk, and the war with Mexico; and what was the language, then, of the volunteer counsel for Great 1 Britain ! We will give afew.sperimens. • The Salem (Mass.) Gazette, daring the exist ence of the last war with England, said-- the door of Janata Madison and his aecorm , plicesilies the blood of his butchered countrymen. - ' " Honest" ! John Davis,, now a Senator from Massachusetts, while editing the Worcester Spy, in 1814, wrote— " This obstinate, infatuated man (James Madi son.] plunges us iota a wicked war—a cringing coward." And the same hortilt " man, in the colomns of the same paper, said— . u We have uniformly entered our solemn protest against this desolating war, which originated in the wicked,' malignant passions of a corrupt and imbecile government." A resolution of the Massachusetts Senate during I the war with England, declared, that— The war u as founded in falsehood, declared with: oet necessity and its real object was extent of ter ritory by unj st conquest, and to aid the late tyrant ot Europe 011ie views of aggrandizement." In January,lBl3, When a Vote of thanks to the gallant Lawrence, for' e capture ot the Peacock, was proposed in the Legislature of Massachusetts , the fallowing infamous resolution was adopted in its stead:— Resolved, That in a warlike the present, waged without justifiable cause, it. is not becoming a moral and religious people to express any appro. bation of military or naval exploit's which are not immediately connected with the defence of our seacoast and soil." The Federal members 01 the Senate of New . Hampshire, in 1813, sent forth the following, as a part of their reasons for their opposition to the l'war of 1812:—. • "The war was 'prematurely dechired, -was 4 prosecuted Without §utftcient justification; and no cause of complaint existed between thie: and England, prior to the diclaration of war, whiCh could not have been adjusted by candid, ingenuous negotiations." The Carlisle Herald, in this State, in, 1812, A. A. MASON & Co BEM M. B. MORSE IZZI lefell !p,O. "The war has been brought about by that wick ed man, James Madison;:.and he and his corrupt adiisers must answer to their God and our coon• try for the blood that may be shed.

And the Boston Centinel, in 1813, declared:— "So unjust is the offensive war, into which our rulers havelilungeilus, in the sober consideration of millions, that they cannot conscientiously Bp• proach the God of armies for his blessing upon it."

We abhor the whole affair, and pity . the de prayed . creature [the President) _through whose agency the country. wee . hurried . into it. But he and the party did it to make pclitical capital, and monopolize the 'glory.' Hence their fiery zeal to get into war with a poor people. Hence the swel -1 tering lie, in the preamble to the' bill of May or !June, •1846, declaring that 'war exists by the act of Mexico'—a us that is to fester forever in the eyes of the universe." ' Thomas Corwin, a Federal Senator from Ohio, in his place in the Senate, contending for the . withdrawal of our. army from. Mexico, said-- "If your commander-in-chief [the President) , will not do this, I will endeavor to compel him, ! Ilriti as I find no other means, I SHALL REFUSE SHPPLIES. ' " if I were a Mexican I would tell you, 'Have you not room in your .own country to bury your 'ead men I If you come into mine, WE WILL GREET YOU WITH BLOODY HANDS, AND i WELCOME YOU TO HOSPITABLE GRAVES.' In presenting glen extracts, it is altogether un necessarY for us to say, that the Federal spirit. of 1812 animates the Whig party of 1847. Tea racy stands forth too plainly and boldly, to allow a doubt, in the mind of any intelligent man, who hai had an opportunity to learn any thing of _the' past. True it is, that, then, some choice spirits of that party volunteered in the cause of their country. The fact is the same now; but for the mass af4le Federal party—they were then on the side of Great Britain, as the majority of the " Whigs" are now the advocates of Mexico." In short, the, spirit of that party has always bean the same-..:must tiVays be what it has been ; and the man who now seeks to place his countrymen, entrusted with the management of public affairs, in false position—thus reflecting disgrace upon his country and its government—Would have been a Federalist of the worst stamp, in 1812, and a tory in 17'76. For such men as these to prate about patriotism, is only equalled in impudence by the avowals of a libertine, that there is no Such thing as virtue; or the attempt of a prostitute to place herself, in the social circle above pure and virtuous women..

Cattna, Governor Commanding - Department of Puebla I have the Mitior to report the operations of the troops under. my corrimand during the siege begun ou the 13th of September, and ended 12th', insQ I .A minute detail of all that was _done, I have not the courage to undertake ,I will, therefore,in'this report be - both brief and . general. Oathe 13th. the enemy,:nuraberiog ahout four thousand; surround ed this post. Towards - night :they commenced firing from the main street leading to the Plaza— the Tivoh- 7 -and *OM the tops of the houses ori every side: I remained with irty command on the roof of San Jose during the , night, and the firing was brisk on both:sides. . . - - Their assaults were repeated much in the same way up to the 12a, except that on. the 18th; =they made' a more decided attick,apProacbing nearer the Cuartal than they bad done before. A- hovvit zer placed by your order at the end of , the mail) street, and. a fewvolleys from the Cuartel and the houses adjacent, dispersed them in utter confusion. From 22d to the 25th we were allowed reason able rest. On the - 25th I received your notice that Gen. Santa Anna having arrived with a large ad ' - &lona' force had sent in a formal demand for the I evacuation'of the points occupied by this American troops._ The demand and. yoUr prompt reply I communicated at' since to the' officers and men under my command. Their shout of exultation and defiance reached the, ears and hearts of our en emies. • . Contrary to all expectation there was no at tack that night nor the next day. Qn the - 27th. their assaults, were vigorously resumed, and kept up until the Ist of October, although in every in stance they were repulsed with, considerable loss. During the night of the 406 they got two six pounders into position above the Tivoli, and with them they opened on the morning of the 33t.h.. Throughout the day the firing was heavy on both sides. On the ist Gen. Santa Anita left the city with four thousand men, and the siege was conduct- ' j ed by sundry other generals with' continuous - and i severe firing. A largeadditionarforce arrived on the Bth and in the afternoon a closer demonstration was made. As usual they were driven back. On: the 10th hostilities wet.suspended, and our annoyance was confined' to scattered shots until the night of the 11th. On the morning of the 12th the.enerny be gan mretire from their positions, and 'by your or ders' Illmoved doWn the main street towards, the Plaza with two companies for the parpose of silen • cing a fire maintained at the'th corner from the breastworks. At our approach a body of Lancers fled from the corner ordered Capt. .Herron to move around the, square with his company, and it possible cut off their retreat, while I attacked in front. They did not wait for the attack, and I halted at the point you directed me to occupy.— Capt. Herron did not join me as I expected, andin a abort time `sharp firing was heard a few streets above. I"immediately hastened with the other company (Capt. Hill's Ist Penn. Vol) to the spot and (mond Capt. Hereon enveloped by the_ enemy; not less than five hundred Lancers had charged from . different streets and completely surrounded the : company, whom we found fighting with the utmost desperation. Our arrival was fortunate, ands think saved the gallant company-from being entirely cut to . pieces. The enemy suffered severely, and in a short time were scattered. I regret to say oar loss was great; both in'number and value. Thirteen Men of Co. K fell in the- enequal ontest, besides several wounded, whom we were able to save. I may be allowed to say that braver or baler men never died a soldier's death. I respectfully transmit to you Capt. Small's re port of his operations on the night of the 2d and 3d 'inst. .It is manifest that he conductedevery thing in the most skillful manner. The enemy s brest. :works on our west side ;rue completely demo': isited,•which stopped their firing from that quarter. For his admirable services on this occasionoind many others, I desire to express my warmest ac knowledgments. I also enclose Capt. Herron's re port of his labors in removing the large wall and brick shed at the Tivoli, from welch, for.many days', the enemy had been pouring a constant and annoy . Mg fire. That gallant officer speaks with charac , teristic modesty of the important and dangerous services himself and his company ;so well perform- ed. On the 28th of September, Adjutant Waelder, with 15 men, in supporting our sentinels, under a heavy fire from the breast Works, received and re crated' the tire of more than 200 of thaenemy. Our loin; was one man killed, (private Wm. Ehrick, lit Pa. vols) The enemy, in this affair, suffered heavi ly in both killed and svOunded. I would do vin fence to my own feelingsand tojestice, if I refrain- Led from making particular mention of the gallant and firm behavior of our sentinels in every attack, and thoughout the entire siege. To 'all the non• commissioned officers and soldiers, I regret that 1 have nut words to show forth the excellence of their good conduct. When patient and cheerful submissions to broken rest and every seve ril sorrow& of a long siege, shall meet their reward, these can not now, nor will not be, unremembered. And when, in bright letters, the manly encounter oral' dangers is published, the names of the livinituid the memory of the dead will not be covered. To the braveand accomplished officers of the Citadel my thanks are due for most faithful and uniform support. The difficulty with me is pot who to name, - but who to leave unnamed. I must. however, say,that to Capt. J. H. Miller, co. A, 4th artillery, Capt. Ford, 3d dragoons, Capt. Denny, A, Ist Pa. vols.' and his lieutenants, Capt. Dana and his lieutenant, Capt. Small and his lieutenants, Capt. HerMn and his lieutenants, and Lieut. Blakely of the voltiguirs. I commanding a small detachment of his regiment, I feel indebted, for the most faithful and valuable services. Every thing their country could.expect or hope for ? these gallant officers performed, and mostworthily did they command the brave men to whom I have already referred. Lieut. Laidly, of the ordnance, who had charge of the howitzers, I managed his pieces with the utmost coolness and skill. In the hour of danger, I had never, to ask a second' time if Mr. Laidley was at his post—Lieut. Ehringer, to whom was confided the management of two pieces, employed them with good' effect against the enemy. , - To Dr. Bunting, surgeon of the. Pa. battalion, I feel deeply indepted for his kindness and attention to the sick and wounded. Wherever his A servisea were needed they were promptly given in the midst of every danger. To Capt. Hill, his officers, and men, whq were engaged during part of the siege near the Cuartel, many thanks are due for most efficient and gallant services. Lieut. Woods, of ca. A, and Lieut..•L'ar roll, of co. 11, Ist Pa. vols., are : entitledto especial , notice for gallantly in maintaining, with a' small' force, - an important outpost at the Trivoli. • Capt ,Denny, of co. A ,and Capt. Dana, of co. I. were sent out on the morning of the 121h,-o4im portaht and dangerous expeditions. Each Was in command of his own company,: and was entirely Successful. • Mr.Waelder, my adjutant, With the arduons du ties of his office doubled, rendered constant and essential 'service. I beg to give him my-admiration and gratitude. The behavior of the troops has been so manly, I think it is not wrong to say, ;that the good name of our country has not suffered in, the long and dfficult defence of San Jose.
