Q :)". An article commenting upon the Governor's
Message, intended for our paper to day, has been
unavoidably deferred, owing to the great amount
of matter which had accumulated upon our hands.
'[he War with
reampeows Position Defined!
.4.rtiongthe various propositions, that have been
presented to the House of Representatives at
Washington, on the subject of, or connected with.
our affairs in Mexico, the following, (sub.nitted
by the Hon. Moses Hurr-rms, the representative
from this District,)
.js - not the least interesting.
The proposition was submitted` on Monday last ;
but was laid over for futiire consideration.
We are pleased to see-such ground as this occu
pied-by Mr. Hampton; because it virtually sus
tains all the leading principles contended for by
the most sterling Democrats. The following is
the preamble and resolution referred to:—
Whereas, in pursuance of the existing war will/
Mexico, a large portion of the territory of that
republic'has been, reduced into our possession by
the army anduary.of the United States; and for
this , and other causes it bas become difficult, if not
impracticable, to restore a permanent and honora•
ble peace, by any treaty that could be ratified by
any — constitutional authdrity in 'Mexico, which
would be recognised and observed' by the people
and ,States of that republic, and sanctioned by . ilw
President and two-thiads of the Senate of the
United States; and as a protracted war will ne.
cessarily be attended with a vast expenditure of
blood and treasure on the part of the United States,
and probably result in the complete conquest and
permanent subjugation of the n - liole of Mexico ;
and as the said territory is now free, and must re
main so u'ntil its character be changed by local
laws enacted by the citizens thereof:
And whereas it is believed, that the people of
that country are anxious to secure for themselves
aid their fiosterity, that degree of tranquility, lib.
erty, and protection, which we enjoy; ' and that
the prosperity of the people of both countries, and
the cause of humanity. 'peace, arid civilization,
would be promoted by, their voluntary union under
One confederacy, and the consequent vast enlarge
anent of our home marker, and free interchange of
their sjaples and specie for our'products and man
ufactures:
: 'Be it therefore resolved, by the Senate and house of
Representatives of the United Staid. of America, in
Congress assembled, That any of the States or
Territories, within the limits of the republic of
Bieiico, now occupied by the armies of the Uni
ted States, or under the military government
thereof, may be admitted front time to time, as
States-or,Territories of the American Union, upon
the free and voluntary application of a majority
of the people of ouch State or Territory for that
purpose; and the presentation by them to Congress
of a republican constitution or form of govern-
ment, in conformity with the provisions of the
constitution of these United States.
- -How Mr. Hampton will settle this matter with
th1,1,) 1 5i7,- of this district, we' are not able to say;
!rut tt,t's e can say,—that they must relinquish
Ike 4:ourtils - taken by Clay, Corwin, Webster ; and
rno4t , t-'‘eir distinguished leaders, or give to Mr.
H. the cut direr!. He admits, in view of the state
of affairs in Mexico, the utter improbability of a
treaty with that country, which would be satis
factory to our citizens; recognizes -the fa:t of our
possession of a large portion of the Mexican ter
ritory, and the probable subjugation of the whole
country; and clearly points to the admission of
the whole of that country into the American U
nion, as a body of free Stairs. Mr. Hampton is
sufficiently well versed in international law, and
the constitution of our country, to know, that the
States which may be formed of that territory, can
not be any other than free States, from the facts,

The Oration from G. L. B. Fetterman was a
superior produCtion, abounding' in facts, and
replete with interest in the originality of his own
views and reflections upon his subject. The
origin of the Cruiades " was traced to its legit.

ly delineated, by the occasional touches of fancy
and delicate conception that cheered and enlivened
the whole.
The Essay, read by James Carrot, was well
worthy the silent and profound attention it receiv

It was plainly the preduction , of close applica•

fallen upbn a gentleman peculiarly qnalified for
the discharge of its duties. From the position he
occupied in the House of Representatives of this
Commonwealth, first as Secretary, and afterwards
as Chairman, of the Committee of Ways and
Means, his active and practical mind has been di
rected to the subject of Finance ; and if the Tax
Bills passed under his urgency, hail never been re.
pealed by the Ritner administration, the State
would probably have been millions of dollars less
in debt. We artijklebted to our Judges for their
unanimous and juilicious choice.
ALLEMIENT Cl4r ELECTION.—We are told
that the Election in Allegheny City, on next
' Tuesday, may be a nullity, on account of the
omission, on the part of Mayor Campbell, to
give publicity to the Proclamation in the Alle
ghenian; as he is required by law to do. It is
especially enacted that the Proclamation shall be
published in ',• the public newspapers of the said
city, it there be any published therein."
It is too late now to mend the matter. The
people will be called upon to deposit their ballots
by handbills only. What the result will be we
cannot conjecture; bin should the defeated party
choose to take advantage of the neglect of the
Mayor, the city will be invoked: in many diffi
culties.
ci . Andrews has been doing a fair business du
ring the few nights that our old favorites, Mrs
SHARP, Miss Snuck: and Mr. KNEASS have been
singing in his Saloon. Their old songs are listen.
ed to with delight by the audience. We hope
none of our citizens will fail to drop in o:casion.
ally during their stay in the city; their ‘• quarters
will not be lost.''
cat In the Quarter Sessions there has been no
thing done for some- days, of much interest. A
misdemeanor case (stabbing a horse,) was dis
posed of yesterday; and afterwards. an assault
and battery case, in which there were seven or
eight defendants, was taken tip
Paor. Ii
ISLET & SOTS are causing great ex
citetnent in Cincinnati. They appear in the
Athenxum nightly, before large audiences. In
our city—to the shame of our people be- it spoken
—these wonderful perforinet could only afford
appear for three evenings, and were then meet by
thin audiences. If the Professor comes this Way
again, we must do better.
13:7•Mr. Pease, a music teacher .of much celeb•
rity, gave a Concert in the Allegheny City Ark,
on Monday evening, whielOvas well attended.—
The tt Parlor City " is peat for music.
(0-The Concert in the lini T itist Church, on

tion, there was some itriculty on account Of:the
lie between the aspirants for nomination
: for the
Mayoralty Mr. Davidson and Alderman Barclay
were the gentlethen Whose names were offered,
and each had two war:is. We are informed by
one of the Delegates, that Mr. Davidson finally got
the nomination by one majority, and the ConVene
tion adjourned.'
Something was said about a reorganization af
terwards, but we kno l 7 nothing as to their pro
ceedings.
It is to be hoped th l at our friends 'over the river
will not permit their little disputes to defeat the
purposes of the citizens. Either of the—gentle
man named might be elected over the Whig candi
date this year, though not by Dernocralii—iotes.

VrWe are about to present, through thicolumns
of this paper, to our readers, sick or well, wherever

the past five years. VAUCIIIICS WEGEVABLE
Tairric•Mirrom, is thi; article to which we allude.
We frankly say that we're been astonished at the
suzcess of the article; nd further, that we believe
it has great virtue, or it, would not have established
' the fame for itself which it certainly has. We are
not one of those who ;believe human nature is so
easily gulled, as many are apt to imagine; and a
worthless nostrum cannot sustain itself FIVE years:
it is out of the question. Here is a short extract,
shown us by the Agent: " I 'thought I would - test
the article myself, for wrakness of the kidneys, be
fore introducing it. A single small bottleinistantly
relieved me. I then offered it to my customers, fpr
all kinds of complaints—resolved to lest itseverely.
I was astonished at its results, in all: Cases ; and
must subscribe to the theory of a universal remedy,
