/OnlhV of February, } 1847, Mr. Ashmun, a
KMeral deader in Congress, from Massachusetts,
war in We arc engaged is a
direct rcon&cquence of ibe annexation oC Texas;
and'thc.oataral and anticipated fruit o(*that iniquity.”
- Theannexation of Texas was consummated under
the. administration of Jouif Tyler. The People,
had sanctioned the act, as well through their repre
sifhtalivcs as in the election of Mr. Polk over Henry
Clay. Yet, notwithstanding this fact, Mr. Athtnuo
h£s asserted, during the present session of Congress,
(tod ail the Federalirta in the House of Represen
taiives, have backed him in the assertion,) that this
was “ a war unnecemriiy and unconstitutionally
commenced by the President of the UniUd States. 1 ’
at New Orleans, wished lor some little
Bookin'the army, that he might be able to slay a
Jfetfwm, in a war, that he pronounced to be, at
Lexington, a war of aggression, unjust and unconsti
totiojjal.. Mr. Webster, at .Philadelphia, called up
on bis fellow-cttizens to sustain the country, now'
; that'we we>e. engaged in a war; and, at Springfield, I
m’ Maisochaaettfl, told the People that, if the war
couldaiot be arrested in any other way, Congress
cptdd jfcrp fllis supplies. Mr. Tom Corwin, in the
Senate of the United Slates, voted that tear existed
bjf }tht t act: qf Mexico; atnd, at. Carthage, in Ohio*
told the People that the Democrats had thought to
entrap him by making this declaration—theytho’t
tbh Whigs could not swallow that—but though they
kuew it uwt a lie they did swallow it J Thus boast
ing of his own infamy.
. *The presses of their |>a>ty, though as inconsistent j
iftheir learlcrs, has in some cases,-no inore j
guarded. We could produce many specimens of j
trait of Whiggcry, from the Federal i
-but lire following will nuflice for the prea- !
ent. On the lftth of May, 184 G, the Palladium, *inc j

t( This is not the time to question the policy of
the Administration ; but prompt and decisive actum,
in order to bring the war ton speedy and honorable
termination, is required. THEN LET EVERY
MAN DO HIS DUTY, and settle the “ lunning
account” which this country has with Mexico, as
speedily as possible—FLOG TIER INTO SUBMIS
SION, ifshe will neither he coaxed nor awed, and
then give her such terms os may he deemed just
andfair.”
.On the Ist of June, JS47, tirssanie Federal edi
tor, gave to Ins readtrs the following :
“Our Recruiting officer left this place, as he;
camey “ solitary and alone 5” not one convert to j
follow in h» train. If Polk wants men to tight h:s |
wan he must look for them elsewhere—tin y are .
not to be found in old Wayne ” !
’ Thus,reader, you inay see, that, in whichsoever -
* way you may turn your eyes in ihe Federal party,'
yon will fibd those who have been denounced, by j
■ some of their most active former associates, now in
Mexico, as tractors; and as having done more to
encourago Mexicans in murdering and robbing our j
countrymen, than all their own countrymen and ;
loaders could have dune. Can it be wondered at, '
-that the People have no confidence tn the Federal t
party, their promises or their solemn asseverations, j
when. their leaders that they arc not !
ashamed to lie; and when, with rcarcely an excep- >
tins, they adopt the most grossly inconsistent
course, in order to try and deceive the people, irifiF
thus: secure to themselves the iuffuence and the
emoluments of office 1 Wo thank lleavcn that the
Poople are top intelligent to be long deceived by
1 their hollow pretensions, and their most impudent
i assumptions.
{A
Ylxe Voice of Pennsylvania.
'The Democracy ofll.e good old Keystone, in their
primary meetings and County Conventions, wuh a
. unanimity almost unparalleled, have resolved that
Mr. fevcHANAN is their choice lor the Presidency.
There is not a doubt but that his name will be unn
nimouely presented to the National Convention, by
the Pennsylvania delegation, -JJiat the delegates
from rtiany other stales will rote for Mr. Buchanan,
:ln the'Convention, we do iy>i entertain a doubt.
The fact that he is the unquestioned choice ofthis
State, should have a powerful influence upon the
middlef the Democracy of other 6tates, and induce
them to concede to Pennsylvania the right of having
president. That such a feeling prevails in
r.tlfo'minds of our Democratic friends in other s*ates,
WO havd every reason to belierc, from all the infor
we can gather. Wo honestly are of the
Ofttfikm that James Buchanan is as strong as any
Other' min in the Democratic ranks ih the Union.
HU nomination will insure union and harmony in
QnrLparty, and result in his triumphant election,
p The vote of Pennsylvania seems essential to the
•lection of a Democratic President, and although
this fact is admitted try every one, the Keystone state
hiii never yet had the honor of having one of her
pwhspns seated injhe Presidential chair. We trust
tlut -our"democratic brethren in other states will
•oneede to Pennsylvania her just rights—-we ask not
this in a spirit of dictation ; but solely for the pur
pose of securing tho election of a sound and radical
Democrat, who will administer the affairs of the
Government upon the principle* of the immortal
Jefferson.

From lUrrluburgh.
We learn that, on the 18th ins;ant,tbe resolutions
in relation to the war, offered some time since by
Mr. Small, were, after being considerably altered,
pawed by a vote of 23 to 3. An amendment bad
been propoted by Mr. Bhawi.ey, which was adopted,
** that our United States Senators be instructed, and
OJtr members requested to vote for raising all the
supplies and men necessary to secure a speedy
peace: ” which was agreed to by the same vote
Mr. Darsie voting against the amendment.
Mr. Caabb called up the bill to incorporate the
-“Western Pennsylvania Hospital j whicih was read a
second and third times and passed. Mr. Swartz-
WEtotl read in bis place, in the House, an act re
lating to the assessment of taxes on ground rents,
•mid one relating to certain alleys in PitUburgb. v On
ispUbn of Mr. Labqe, the House went into Com
mittee.of the Whole, (Mr. H. S. Evans in the Chair,)
;en the bill to incorporate in the township of Lower
St. Clair, in Allegheny county, into a borough, to

A cotcmporary, in the interior of this Mate, speak
ing of the appointment or General Butlor assucces.
sor of Scott, says :
“Now that the fighting is drinr.and the Mcican
energies and resources completely broken, and little
else remains to he done but to carry out the inßi
tnoua robber schemes of the Administration—over
running and pillaging a prostate foe—it is probably
well enough that the services of Scott anil Taylor
should be dispensed w ith, and that sonic more suple
parly tool should be selected, wlu, will not scruple
tu do the ‘dtrlywork' of the Administration.”
We have defended Scott against the attacks of io.
nnrant and prejudiced partisans of the Administra
tion ; and wc arc nuw called on lo defend Butler
againßt equal ignorance and p-r judicc on the part of
some Whigs. The writer of the above paragraph
obviously knows nothing of (let,cal Butlor We
will toll hint, therefore,that General Boiler is one
ol tho most moderate, unassuming, mdcpcndcnland
high-minded men belonging to either party ; that he
is a person who never has sought political eclat and
who is perhaps, too straightforward to obtain cer
tainly to hold it; and that in his native state of Ken
tucky, where he is best known, his popularity is so
great that, in 1844, when he consented lo run as
Democratic candidate for Governor, he very consid
erably reduced the majority of that strong Whig
Commonwealth. °
Gen. Butler is not the man to do the dirty work of
Ihis, or any other adinnistration,- and this is as well
known in Washington, as in Kentucky Instead nf
his appointment being received in tho manner it is
it ought to he hailed, by every candid mind, wilh
joy. The President has done himself honor by his
selection : and ought, in fairness, to have the merit
of it. It would have been easy for the executive
by a little management, to have kept Butler, or even
others out of the way, and left ihc chief command
to devolve on some one more pliant; and that this
was not done we consider proof, to a certain extent
that “no dirty work” is on hand. Bo just, gentle
men ! -If Mr. Polk commits a wrong, assail him:
but when he does right, give him credit for it.
We may speak thus frankly, because otir senti
ments on the management or the Mexican war are
well known. We opposed the recal of Scott. Wc
oppose the conquest or Mexico. *Wo think the
conduct op the President towards both Taylor and
Scott, is calculated to produce the impression that
have «n‘ 0 S *7 Ono otr a B ainst another. This wc
have sa d : and tin. we repeat. But wc do not be
have either that Mr. Polk wishes Butler to do anv
“ dirty work” in Mexico, or that Butle, would stZ
to do It, it required by him. When will journals

PIKE Courtt fob BucttARAR.-We learn from
the Pennsylvanian, that Oscar H. Mott, Esq., was
chosen delegate to the 4th of March Convention,
from this county, on Monday night last, by the l*r’
gest county meeting ever held in that gallant De
mogyatic county, and unanimously instructed for

. been frequently mentioned by the organs of the Dem
ocracy in the'State, j|s, a suitable
candidate for Dlfr office. If personal' popularity is
v any recommendation, Mr. Riddle’s history presents
him in a favorable position. The political charac
ter of Allegheny county is well known.! Two thou
sand Whig majority, is usually a safe calculation.—
At the election in 1843, Mr. Riddle* was the regu
larly nominated Democratic candidate for Prothon
otary, and was elected by a majority of: six hundred
and fifty-five over the comliined vote <if four com
petitors. Hia plurality was twenty five hundred and
thirty three. Comment is unnecessary; and eulogy
is useless. No truer or better candidate can be
presented. j
Is not the nomination due to the Democracy of
the western counties 7 The Democrats in the east
ern section of tbe-State are ably represented in the
Cana) Board. The middle counties have not been
a craocra tic Canal Commissioner since the
office has been elective. But the westjhaH not had
a Democratic candidate for that office iforthd last
five years, and never had but one. Is not, then, the
nomination due to the Democracy of the west?
what county in the whole west has claims su
perior, or equal to Allegheny 7 At the last Presi
dential election, the only correct test of party
strength, Allegheny county polled seven hundred
and sixty.five Democratic votes more than good old
D s“ o< | ratic Westmoreland. And with the exception
of Philadelphia, Berks, and Lancaster* the Demo
cratic vote of, Allegheny exceeded that of any oth
er county in the State. Is not the nomination due
to the Democracy of Allegheny county 7
That Mr. Riddle is the choice of Allegheny, the
proceedings of the Democratic convention of the
12 hof January last, are sufficient evidence. U 18
due to candor to state that he had a competitor, in
the person ofa respectable citizen of that county •
but it is also due to truth to state that the conten
tion, composed of eighty five delegates] rcpicsent
mg every ward in the two cities or Pittsburgh and
Allegheny, and every borough and township in Al
legheny county, adopted by a unanimous vote , a
resolution warmly urging the claims of George R.
Riddle, Kxq., to the nomination for Canal Comruis
sioicr. l
The friends or Mr. Riddle arc not confined to
the West, but are found in every section of the
Commonwealth. They Teel, deeply-reel, the jus
tice or Ills claim, and they appeal to Uio magnanimi
ty of the approaching convention.
Who Began TnE War ?—On the Hth inst., the
U. S. Ilouse-of Representatives, by a vote of I(].> to
94, refused to rescind their declaration iiusortcd as
an amendment in the vole of thanks to Gen. Taylor)
that the war with Mexico wins unnecessarily anil
unconstitutionnlly begun by the President.” Among
the gentlemen who opposed the rescission, war Mi.
Ducr, of Oswego county, N. Y. An lioirf or two
afterwards, the House took up the Loan Bill, and
Mr. Ducr made a speech upon it, in which he said :
“ It sceroed unquestionable that the origin of the
war was the annexation of Tcils.sv To say it led to
the war, was a weak and exceptionable expression.
Annexation was war. It waa unnecessary to refer to
GroLius, Tattai,or any other writers on ihtcrnaiion
al law to sustain this position. It was 'capable or
being made plain to the commonest understanding;
it was of the nature or an axinmnti truth. It was
nut denied that when Texas was annexed, Texas
and Mexico were at war. What then became of
that war! Why, nnlcas the annexation of Texas
produced peace,(which was absurd,) the War follow
ed the annexation ; we annexed Texas, dnd tile war
with her. Her separate independence being gone,
and she being annexed to us, the war continued with
u.«.”
We do not propose to deny this statement,
which, at least, has more truth in it than the ilecln
ratirn that the war was << begun by the President,”
—but only to ask how the two positions are consis
tent with each other. II the annexation or Texas
not only led to the war, but ” was war” itself,
then, of consequence, the war was not begun hy
the President, hut by Congress. It was ax much the
act of Congrexs as any other act of that body,—the
President sanctioning it hy his signature:. Ye: the
President who so sanctioned it, was no) James K
Polk, lie it remembered, but John Tyler. And it
was both passed and sanctioned under the solemn
protest of the Mexican Minister, Gcu.j Almonte,
licit it would be considered by his government equi
valent to a declaration of war.
To assert now, in the same breath in which theve
tacts are acknowledged and avowed, rhat tiie war
was “begun hy the President," meaning: President
Polk, who was nol in office when the Annexation
resolution was passed, seems to us far-fetched and
unreasonable.
If Annexation was war, then'war wan entailed
upon the present Administration by the Administra
tion and Cong»css which preceded it. jit was not
101 l optional with President Polk whether or not
to carry the joint resolution (of annexation) into ef
fect. Had he refused or neglected to do it, lie would
have been liable to impeachment. \
Our object in making tlir.se mnarksj is not so
much to defeud President Polk, as to point out what
appears to us a gross inconsistency on tire purl of
his accusers. Men who maintain that Annexatim
not only caused the war, but was war itself, ami
precluded from charging its origin upon the J'rcsi
denl.—Journal of Commerce.
The Price qe a Kiss.—A .French girl, store,
hniog solicited-to allow a kiss, declined, except .it
the 1 price of a little cloth bag which lay-on the cnam
ored caralicr-i counter, and which, a< hc.aaul, wan
filled with cents. The bargain was struck; but to
the surprise of the dulcinea, as to he satisfaction,
on opening the bag it was found to contain, in the
place of cents, good, full weight florins, i The gen
tleman claimed the bag, but the girl was unyielding.
Thereupon resort was had to the tribunal, the ptain
tifl’nllcdging that there was evidently a mistake, and
that a simple kiss could not, by far, be appraised at
such a Mim. The IribuDal however, gave the case
to the girl—lst, because what is given is given ; anil
2d, because tlin value of a kiss cannot be estimated.
Maria Louisa.—The Chicago Journal in allu
ding to the character of thcdeceased wife of Napn.
pnlcan says “she was accomplished, (air.and inejf
tnsive.” Wonderfully, inoffensive !”—asi sh« lived
many years as the Ujl- handed wife of Count Neup
erg, a Chamber! in her fathei’s Court. This liason
was commenced even while Napolean, was chained
to the Rock at St. Helena, thuß disgraciiigjthe name
or her great husband. Some lime since we had the
pleasure of conversing with nn American Diplomat
ist who had traveled some years in Europe, visiting
Vicni, Parma, 6tc., and ho remarked that Maria
Louisa was every where alluded to with perfect con
tempt—never having fuifiliod tho duties of a wifo or
a mother. Her history shows how utterly unwor
thy the patiician—decended from a loiig lino of
kingly ancestors—was to fill the place of .the plcbi
an-aorn, but giltud Josephine. She may have been
Tair, and accomplished, but as for.inofTenniye, crime
must be considered virtue, belbro Maria Louisa
cun bcutitled to that character.

Mrs. Margaret Clemons, or Columbus, Ohio, has
neon suffering with a “DISEASE OF THE LUNGS >
for the last threo years. She at length became so
weak and debilitated that she could not leave her
oed. Her husband procured all tho different medil
Clues set forth to cure Consumption; buO unfortu
nately there was none of them afforded her any de
cided relief. At lost, seeing a notice in the “Ohio
Statesman,” of a cure thitwas performed upon a
young lady similarly affected, which gave hopes of a
cure, your expectorant Remedy was sent for, ofyour
agent Mr. Mattoon, and used according to the direc
tions. Tho good effects were visible after fising the
Medicine one week. Her Coughing subsided, and
the Chonking by phlegm, which she distressingly ex
perienced; and after using the Expectorant 6 weeks
her strength returned to its natural vigor, and now
enjoys perfect health. I write you these 1 lines in

must say, that the arrangements which were then

Col. Win. C. Meredith, Geo. W. Layng and George

IkS-The “ Inns or Court” Meeting, at the Court
House, next Saturday, will be a funny affair, we
doubt not. Wo understand that Mr. Joseph Barker’
is preparing a speech for the occasion— Subject:
“ Alde ? and th ® Inna of Court.” Barker will stick
the projectors in hia'meat-axy style ; and if he devel
°pes all be promises, there will be some new ideas
ushered into the public mind.
We think the crowd .will be large. Not that any
will go for the purpose of making serious opposition:
to such a contemptible project; but times are dull
n«w, and the boys want fun. The gravity and dig
mty of the projectors will be amazing. The speak
ers on both sides w ill be entertaining in the highest
degree.
Recollect, the meeting is to be held an Saturday,

be equally fortunate here. He will likely have a
trial. An unprejudiced jury will hearliis ease ; and
if he should get off, the public should not grumble
We understand that Arthcr is a sort of a lawyer ;
