Each of their great )s asserted that their party friends in Ire opposed to the war; that they be AI en act of injustice to Mexico; that -try was in the wrong; that Mexico was that the war was the act of the Executive Mir country. The President, in his message to Coniress of May 11th, '1846, after reciting the state of our affairs with Mexico, stated thatwar 'existed by the acts of Mexico. Congress; in ma I king provision for carrying on thelwar, reiterated! -the statement of fact made by the President. Two 1 Fenators au fourteen representatives, voted against making any ;appropriation. to carryon the Ikar, and against any authority to call men into the service. There was a clear Democratic majority in both branches of the national legislature;—so that. Unless all those Federalists who voted for the Lill, as it was passed, believed it to be;true, there was .110 necessity whatever, which requiteal them to vote as they dad. Had there Lein any doubts in tele 'tion to the passage of the bill witiMut their 'votes, , had there been any mound to fear !that the army under Gen. Taylor would net he sustained iii its' perilous position, unless their votes were given for •the bill as it stood; they could have safely cleared .their consciences (?) by voting for ',the bill, under a protest. Eut them- was nc necessity for them to vote at all. The Democrats in the two Houses would have carried the bill without their votes; l ands Democratic President wouldhavisignetbiti 'when passed. They, hOwever, voted for the.bill Webster; Corwin, and Clay assert drat they did so, believing and knowing :bat it asserted to the world 404.1' The President tells the people, in his late message, that the bill, dcelarirg That war existed - by the acts of Mexico, passed by a neatly unani • 'titiak vote of both houses of Congiess ; and the ;Federal editors charge him with resorting to sub- ISerfugewith lying—in this Statenient. Now we -hold it to be true, that, if the Fedeial members of the House, ;and of the Senate:did knot believe the statement iu that bill to be nue:they utteted a premeditated, unmitigated, Unqualified, aud, :nunecessry lie,—not saucticuable any system of morality, or any course of honorable policy.— Each of their great leaders tells the world that they did vote a lie, and that they, did not vote ignOrantly—that they knew they were lying when ,they thus voted: In all the late ;elections,. the Federal editors have told the People, ( vhen they acid any thing on the stake%) that their party was in favor of prosecuting the war, although they) 'believed it to be wrong. But vilat reliance cant the People place upon any of their statements No sooner did they ascertain that they would have I a majority in the House of Representatives, that, their great leaders came before the People, with the declaration, that they would bring this war to an I erid, even if, in doing so, they must stop all sup.' plies to the army; that they had always believed their government to be in the wrong ; and that they . knew they lied when they voted that Mexico was the wrong-doer. It is a very just maxim , which-recognizes that "A liar id not to be believed' even though he may speak the truth ;" and •we stia-gneltly deceived, if the People Will not so in •delibly brand these Federal leaders, that the'mark will be upon their foreheads while they shall have existence upon earth. To think of creatures who own themselves to be liars; and who only could have voted as they did from a fear of the People ; —to think of such creatures as these coming 'out now,(vvhen they bar? bare majority in one House of :17ongress,) and telling the People that their Chief Magistrate has lied i The assertion was only conceived in.that infamous spirit of reckless ness and impudence, which has characterized all the leading acts of the Federal party, for many leers past ; and it will be as signally, rebuked, as have been their former attempts to gain and main tain power, by practising the moat villainous im positions upon the People. War Meetings, The demonstrations 'of public 'opinion in .favor of .the war, are every day becoming more marked. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in Philadelphia, on Saturday evening last, ht which a number of highly patriotic resolutions were passed. Such appears to have been the enthusiasm mani• thated on the occasion, that another meeting is to be held on Saturday evening next,.in the Saloon of the. Chinese Museum. The people are adopting tin; suggestion of Mr. Clay on this subject—with q.vengemice ! Great falamity.--Cineinaati laandated. From the Telegraphic correspoadence of the Pittsburgh Gazette, we learn that there has-been a rise in the Ohio, at Cincinnati, equal to the great flood of 1632, All the stores south - of Pearl street, are said to lie, filled with, water; and even ;the Broad Way Hotel is partially filled. It is computed, that jive thousand families have been rendered homeless by,.this visitation, who are now in a suffering condition. The account was sent Wednesday night, at which time the snow was eighteen inches deep, and still falling. An im mense amount of property had been swept away; . and much, more otherwise destroyed. ta The venerable Jaxss litsT, formerly Chan) cellor of the State of New York, and author of many valuable Law Works, died at Albany, on the 12th instant, in the Ssth. year of his age, cp.

Without detracting from the' sterling merits of other Pennsylvania statesmen,We can safely assert, that; for vigorous intellect, a ,sciund democratic creed. enlightened 4atesmanillip, and isolished di plumacy, and tried 'public service, JA.MES BU CHANAN stands preeminent., He is the man foi the ; and having pre. .eil the effect of the brattl that Was thrown from the hand of the member from Tioga, (whose restless ambition led him to emulate the Efiliesian. youth.) is prepared to conduc:tthe lighthing of the threatening elements into ha'rinless jars.

Firm and erect in principl, 4bandoning self, for his country, where base patitions might have been turned to account; his kitty genius is ester found marking out the course of honor and peace to his fellow citizens; and interposing its potent influ ence in avoiding either c4en or insiduouslattacks on their liberties. • , mil' J , ~.k.~ 'L• Concealment of purPoe has at no period of his life.been bis policy—hi4olitical enemies have awarded him this virtuil.

Kobinson, la. ,The Gazette, of yesterday, contains a Telegraph. , tette!s;patch of the 1311), stating that in the Senate, Mr. 'Calhoun offered the following resolutions, which were ordered to lie over Belolved, That. to conquer Mexico and to holy it, either as a province, or to Incorporate it in our Utiion, would be inconsistent with the avowed otOct for which the war has been prosecuted—a departure from the settled policy of the Govern• inctilin conflict with its character and genius, rind-in the en 1; subversive of our free popular in 'stitotions. Resolved, That no line of policy, in the further Piciiecution of the war, should be adopted, which ;may lead.to consequences so disastrous. In the House, a message was•receiced from the President, containing the reasons for his Veto of the Harbor bill of the last session: • - For - the Morning Post. lON. LEVI WOODBURY FOR PRESIDENT. X , , :.1%4 a /Wiese :—I have, with pleasure, witnessed he honorable• course you have adopted, with the friends of the different candidates. You state, that "the Post shall be , free and untrammeled." To riie,; this is geering news; but it is what might be epectetl from a good Democrat. Let the troth go the people, in every case; for there is nothing ,to be lost by honesty. 1 take this occasion to atate t that great care should be' observed, on the 'part of the friends of the gentlemen who are looked upon as candidates for the Presidency We should remember the old maxim, that "there is much good in friendships but much harm in .discord." The name of the able and soundvatriot, placed at the head. of this, article, I find is brought for ward in different parts of 'the country, south and north; by sterling friends, who hive never deserted the post of danger: I would request the Demo cratic people, to ponder,- well on the subject of who should be the successor of Mr. Pour.. The merits of the respective candidates should be in quired into, and fairly and honestly canvassed, in I,a spirit of truth awl fairness i—without any bit terness, or that acrimony which now appears to actuate some of the writers who are urging the claims of their "favorite son." We should never indulge in a hatred of our own men. That course can be more properly left to the opponents of Democratic men and measures. Laudable rivalry iiimmemlable.; and, sn the part of the friends of the lion. Levi Woodbury, aspirants will be treated with what is justly due to the character of gentlemen. At the same time, we ask, and solicit for-our candidate, the most searching scrutiny that can be applied, - by the machinations of politicians. There is no act of his life which will not be found in unison witb truth and virtue. Equally excel lent in hia private and political character, he is eminently distinguished for his personal accom • pliahments. A wise legislator; a ripe scholar; a learned jurist; and sound in his principles,—he stands in the front rank of American statesmen We are for the man who can unite all sections of our confederacy. Such a man is Judge Woodbury, who has shared the generous confidence of - the lamented Jackson. and that of the people of Demo cratic New Hampshire. It is our pride to claim for him, and that State. (that never cast a vote for a Federal President.) the honor of the high trust lof Executive of the United States Air. Wood bury, and his State, stand proudly at the head of the Democratic pyramid. Her gallant sons never ' yet faltered in their devotion to the principles contended for by the Democracy. In ISO, when others, who now claim the nomination, deserted our standard, Woodbury, and the people of New Hampshire, stood like "Old Hickory," unshaken I and immovable. The storms of Federalism hail no terrors for them. The Democracy of that State were like her-granite hills. We do not place his nomination on " State pride." We put it on the more solid basis e 5 Democracy and true worth] that he may better serve the whole peoplg.t it `can be said that his State never presented a can didate; and that it is due her for faithful services rendered our cause. We wave all such sectional lor local feelings, and place him and his State (where we are certain he and they prefer to be placed) on the platform of equality,—relying on the honesty of our cause, and the intelligence of the people; for to them do we look for support, for the man who never deserted them. The De. mocracy of numbers should take the matter into their own keeping:—.far Republican principles are only safe with them; and should they do their duty, Jcnos Woonnuai can be nominated; and, what is better, he can be elected—over combined opposition, come from where it may. RANDOLPH. Front the Monrovia, (Liberia) Luminary, Oct. 19. Great Mortality at Sierra Leone.—The captain of a Sierra Leone vessel, direct from that place, inforriis us, that the yellow fever, and ,a disease known on this coast, by the name of the ;blare' vomit, are raging there—cutting down mole or less of all classes. - They are more fatal, however, among foreigners. - 'Same idea may be formed of the extent of the plague, from the fact, that by order of, the board of Health, fire graves are constantly yawning to re ceive their victims! . Few of the citizens are aware of the number who ate buried nightly. This is a precaution, to prevent if possible, the fatal effects of alarm. Consumption and Death will most assuredly be the early fate of those who neglect themselves when afflicted with the premonitory symptoms of con. sumption, such as a Cold, Cough, firdnchitis, or Soreness of the Throat, Hoarseness, Difficult Ex; pectoration, .!tthma, Spitting of Blood, &c. "Drl. Duncan's Expectorant, Remedy," is expressly pre pared for the removal and cure of those danger: ous and troublesome diseases. Therefore, you who are laboring under the influence of thet• complaints, procure immediately this medicine :Afore it be too , late. One , Bottle may be , the means of prolonging your life. Always ask for "Dr. Duncan's Expec. tca ant Remedy," and see that you get it, and not be persuaded by some who sell differect medicines to take some of their medicine in preference. These persons obtain some cheap thing and palm it on the public at full price. It is therefore important for purchasereto be on their guard.

He confessed his inability to effect his purpose, and stated some reasons for IL- The next subject was a young lady, (Miss Barber,) who took the stand, and in an in stant appeared to be is "the sleep." The operator was a Mr. Scott. He - professed to lead her into different places.; and by exciting certain organs, make her fancy that she was addressing as ac quaintance, playing, the piano, pilfering. &c„ &c. While we remained in the room we saw nothing that might not have been the result of collusion; and came away satisfied that no converts bad been made to the science, at all events. But we have since been informed , that afterwards she exhibited some experiments that were rather staggering to the incredu!ous. She was "willed" to ihe room of a young man who Is insane—in which she had never been and never heard of: She described his posture, "he was chained down; there were two doors in the room; some panes were hrokenirom the window ; a piece was broken from the bed stead &r." This is the substance of what-took place in the after part of the evening. We are confident that the gentlemen, who in partconrtucted these experiments, would not be guilty of iracti cing deception upon the public. If is delusion they are deceived. Certainly the meetings of the Society are well worth attending. The same young lady will be present next Wednesday evening?
