VOICE OF ALLU.GAMIST COUNTY
Another it Whir , Patriot.
We. find in the Chronicle of Wednesday last, a
letter from one of the members of Capt. Hannon's
company .of Pennsylvania volunteers, which reflects
with much severity upon the Federal party in this
eounlry. and especially upon its most distinguished
.leadors. and editors. .Hundreils of similar expres
sions of sentiment on the part of Democrats, who
Ik4'sone to Mexico in defence of their country's
rights, might be given; but we prefer to give the
expressions of such intelligent and independent
s!.Nloiip,' , as (finding the condition in which they
iiisforced by their brethren at home,) find no terms
in,our language too strong, in which 10 convey the
iblioTatice, detestation and contempt in which they
ar4 ;kilted to hold them, when they seethe effects
Of their traitorous course. klr- limey, we are in
fUnned, was always an active Whig; and his scorch
ing rebuke of that narty comes, therefore, with the
Mora:power, and in likely to prove the more ef
fectual. .
Zitraci of O I..rtter from (1. H. Rflopey, of Company li,
first Argimeat Peausylrania Vobuntetr", dated
errii of Alcxico, Feb. 1. It4B.
' 'ii scarcely know %s-bet opinion to express of this war.
nor whit would be the best policy our Government could
pursue. I had hoped, that the profound judmment, the
long e.t - perience, and extrnordincry ability of such emi
nent Statesnien as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, could
liavit'aietated some remedy, to have extricated our coon
trlfroai the tinpletusard situation in which she is now
plated—but how sorely arc we disappointed. The late
speech of Mr. Clay has already done more to prrilkng this
wary than anything that could possibly have been desired
by our bitterest enemy. The Mexican people derive en
couragement and hope front such sentiments as Mr. Clay
stud's riumber of Whig prints promulgate; and if they
desire, to consult the interests DT our country. to promote
the good cause of peace, "%itch language must be entirely
ittipped—an opposite tone toast prevail universally; they
'Mitt see us all firm and mated upon this absorbing ques
tion. Let .
purpose only prevail; a
fain determination to prosecute the war- %still the utmost
vigor, and if anything a
w..l ever bring about u termination
or, tbeloar, it is this; bin so long as an opposite course
be pursued, that hope is Vain. It 18 too late litAv to argue
apou ilk principle or origin of the war, to enquire into its
nistice isr injustice on our part, as the day for reasoning is
past. Now is the time for action—prounit. igorous. de
cisive action. We want men, not speeches. Give them
blows, notoords. Thelatiguage uttered by some of the
press - the - epithets applied . to us such us murderers, rob
bers.and fiends—the male dictions—the curses invoked up
otatacnwhohaveforsaken their home and country—who
have-come here to endure every imaginable privation. to
expose themselves to danger and death in every form—
end that too by our own countrymen—calls forth the bit
terest. coudemnatiothe most profound scorn and dis
gust- .:-You may imagine how keenly we feel the injustice
and-baseness of such language. Miserable, contemptible
wretches; protected as they are by the sacred "" freedom
- of the press"—but more especially by distance—secure
audeomfortable as they are at home, they thus thunder
their infamous lies and hurl the foulest insults at men
who:axe - fighting, bleeding. dying for them. But let them
take their way, let them talk on—let them wallow. Ido
not envy them; I - would not stop their mouths. Better
far be a 0 dog and bay the moon' than such an infamous
wretch as one of these."
. But Hr. ROPEY does not end here. He says :-
- . 6 However, while I am upon the subject, another
idea strikes me very forcibly. How comes it that
those who ao strenuously advocate the war, and op
passe•Blay, Webster and others, do not contribute
something more than talk. Why not come here
men,like and thus show their devotion to the cause,
and the love of a country of which they so vaunt

This may have been deemed, by Mr. 8., some-
thing of A salvo to the deep infliction upon the feel
ings of his Whig" ifriends ; but a little observation
and , inquiry would hive demonstrated to him the fact,
that of tremendous majority of the whole volunteer
finvitt is, end has been from the commencement of
t!ii . WU, composed or Democrats. He can yet as-
curtail!, that the great body of those who have gone
to al up the ranks of the shattered regiments, are
also Democrats. Besides, there has been no call for
Voluiteers for many month! past; and, if there had
been, it could icarcely have been required that all
this Democrats should go to fight the forces of Santa
Anna ind Company, (while one patriotic American

their country-in the hands of the apologists and ad
imintes of Bleak.; at home.
The Emperor of Austria.
Acorrespondent of the Newark Advertiser, wri
ting from Vienna, gives the following, not very 11al
.
tenor description of the Emperor of Austria :
";His majesty of Austria is a short, ill made man,
with" bead, by far, ton large for hie body, and !

of_itervois, mechanical, twitching manner. He
istiMsiso should judge, not more than five feet two

countenance denotes anything but intellect, having
*dolt, unmeaning expression, plainly indicative of
both ,Mental and. physical imbecility. It is well
known that his mind is weak ; he panes unch of
his time in trifling amusements, in eating milisleep-
Mg, a'd is but a mere machine in the hands of the
Entmeer.and Metternich. It gave me a shudder of
melancholy to see such a man, and he the ruler of

imprint of genius and power. It is said that an

: s No, no, an eagle is always double

Austria.”

one-half of the regulai:iiimy is composed of masa!,
of Ireland ; two-thirds of the entire army are natives
of other countries ; and but one-third are natives 0/
the United' States ! This information was derived
from the enlistment roll of the War Department;
and; from the official list of deserters ffiom the Ar
my, (ati - published by the Adjutant General, during
a period of a little more than three months preced
ing the first of January, 1848,) it is also ascertained,
that the whole number of deserters amounted to
2594: of which number 1573 were na%,cs of the
United States; 484 Irishmen; 274 Germans; and
117 Englishmen—leaving a balance of 149 to be
mole up ofnativea of eleven other countries.
acre we see, of the whole number-of deserters,
thnt nearly two thirds are natives of our own free
and happy country: men who were horn beneath
the folds of the flag of liberty ; but who, in the
time of their country's peril, have basely deserted
her cause, perhaps to aid the military despots of
Mexico in trying to fasten the fettersrdf despotism
upon their suffering fellow beings. And, on the
other hand, we find that, although Irishmen com
pea one-half of the entite army, but an -Insignificant
number, compared with the whole, have been found
base enough to desert that flag, which secures to
them liberty, social and political etiutj.ity, and the
enjoyment of all the blessings oflife that flan may
acquire. Less than one fifth of the deserters are
Irishmen! and Irishmen,Germans, and Englishmen
combined, comprise but a trifle more. tbanone-third
'if the whole number.
These are facts, which it were well for the states
men and politicians of our country, generally, to
contemplate soberly and seriously., They point
with unerring certainty to a state or things, which
we have often been led to think may yet be present
ed in our country, but which we pray may be de
veloped, if ever, only in the far distant future—a
state of internal dissentions and sectional jealou
sy, when calculations shall be made of the refire of
our glorious Union. When that time shall come,
we have often thought that the preservation of our
Confederacy must depend upon those who shall
have felt the horrors of despotism, in other lands ;
and, from their experience know the, value of lib
erty. God grant that the time may never conic.

Among the proceedings of this Board, on Thum
day,the 24th ultimo, we find the following:—
Mr. Craft announced to the Board the death of
John Quincy Adams, ex-President of the United
States, in the following expressive OW feeling man
ner: .
M. Parsnimer--The kind partiality of my breth
ren has devolved upon their humble friend, who now
addresses you, the melancholy duty of adverting to
the mournful intelligence, borne by the latest mail
front Washington city, that one of our most distin
guished citizens has been gathered in his fathers,
from the large place that he filled in the national coun
cils. He died, as he lived, at his official post, in the
discharge of his duty, not in the glorious and daz
zling panoply of the soldier, but in the more valua
ble and benignant garb of the civilian. •
For a range in the cycle of time ed to but
few conspicuous men in modern ages, in any nation,
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS has been distinguishe d' as one
of the chief supporters of our national system.—
Whether as the representative of a single Congress
ional district, or of the moiety of the sovereignty
of one of the broadest and richest StAes of our con •
federation--.r as the Plenipotentiary of the whole
Union, in the courts of monarchy abroad—or the
Executive of the federal government at home, to
HIM every where has been conceded, by all men, of
all parties and latitudes, purity of purpose, integrity
of soul, and impartial intentions foe, lie good of all.
Confined to no creed or clime, he was the universal
friend of his fellow-citizens and fellow-man. If it
has been the fortune or misfortune of any of us, as
may hereafler be detertnined by the decisions of that
time, which dissipates the prejudi . ces of opinion,
and establishes the decrees of truth, to differ from
him in political suggestions, none of via have ever
doubted his disposition to spread Wide his useful.
nen. Limited only by the restricted faculties of
humanity, he aimed - to do good according to the un
bounded breadth or his charity. Ai to the correct
ness of his pesiti-ns, it may not e len now be as
sumed that he was the less often right, because, in
the whirl of time and change. he differed occasion
ally from all parties, in the exere.iae of his honest
and independent judgment. Bowater this occur.
ed, such was the weight of his opinions, that when,
in the irratic and irregular windings of political
movements, those who had diffe_red from him as
widely as the poles of party would permit them to
sunder, found him acting within the range of their
revolution or orbit, they would congratulate them
selves upon concurrent action withlhe sage and pa
triot whose exit we deploy.
Mr. President, in the unprerr;red Moment, which
has been afforded is Introduce appropriate evidence
of our sympathy and sorrow, it will yf nt be expected
that I should dare to attempt the delineation of the
patriot, of the statesman just stneken low in death.
This will be the pleasing and elevated work of the
historian, who gathers the jewels qif the age, and
sets them in living frames of everlasting durance.
Let those who are praised themselves. record his
praise. His character and conduct will be engra
• ven on the pillars and tablets of din country, and
• embalmed with the esteem and affections of his
countrymen.
I close, with presenting for the sdlemn consider
ation of my colleagues, the following preface and
resolutions.
WHEREAS, It hag pleated the Al mighty limposer
of all human events, in whose hands are the issues
of life and death, who giveth and who taketh away,
to withdraw from our national horizon, one of its
greater lights, which 'has shed itseontinued and be
neficent radietme over the councils hnd measures of
our common country in its whole length and breadth
for more than two-thirds of a century, while we
bow with sincere ■ubmitsion to thisgeneral bereave
ment, in memory of the virtues and talents of the
departed, and as a beacon for imitation by his sur
vivors and successors, it become . k exary public body,
assembled to represent any of the interests of the
people, to evidence such memorials of their estima
tion of eminent greatness as may express our senti
ment of national deprivation, and stififulate the pres
ent and rising generation to an emulation of its ex
ample.
Resolved, That we have heard wa deep sensibili
ty and regret the loss the nation has sustained iirthe
death of Jolt's Qvittev ADAMS, ek-President of the
United States.
_
Resolved, That as a mark of our profound respect
for a name that has for the last fifty years been in
timately and influentially associated . with the great
historical events of our country, and for a statesman
who has filled its most important offices with signal
ability, impartiality and integrity; this Board will
new adjourn.
On proposing the, question of their passage to
the Board, they were unanimously 'adapted, in silent
acquiescence.

ing boiled in hot water, when it becomes soft and:
plastic; below the temperature of fifty degrees it ie
nearly as hard as wood, it is extremely tough, but be
comes plastic when it is cut into thin stripes; at a:
temperature below boiling water it becomes as soft
and yielding as melted wax or putty, and may be
moulded into any form or stretched out thinner than
the finest paper. When it cools, it becomes hard
and tough again, and retains its plastic shape with-,,
out the slightest change by contraction or warping.'
The preparation is said to be already known in
England, where it is used in bookbinding, for which
purpose it has been preferred to leather. Ornamenti
as elegant as those' of papier macho are made of it,
and it is said to have made use of also formouldingr
and cornices. Acids and chemical agencies have no
effect upon it, while its tenacity in resisting weigh- .

water-pipes of any size, and any degree of strength
that may be required; and used for such purpose
will never decompose oi wear out; and being due

shapes, and for thousands of purposes, where iron
or lead now be used.
For floor cloths, it is said that it will supersede
the use of all other materials, as it can be made of
extreme thinness, perfectly impervious to air or wa
ter and of greater durability than any other flexible
material known. In its bard state, it can with diffi
culty be cut with a knife or a saw, but when it is
soft it can be moulded into the most delicate forms
by the hand of a child.
So much for this wonderful novelty in manufac
tures. Too many persons must not speak at on&
for its monopoly !
For the Moreding Pear.:
Ma. Eorron:—The selections from Mr. Keenan's
correspondence with Capt. Mar, pictures forth the
sufferings of the peasantry of Ireland. at this rad
ment, in coloring that must convince the most scep
tical, of the death-dealing injustice, of that govern-.
mental system of land monopoly in Ireland, which
im poverithes, until it destroys its ski ma.
Something should be done, and soon, to help the
oppressed and plundered toilers in Ireland. Per
haps the approaching anniversary, St. Patrick's dal,
would be a fitting time to call forth our best feelings
for suffering humanity. And as the energetic Ben
ton—the indefatigable P.. H. Kerr, is now from
home, permit me to call forth some of the many
philanthropists, who so recently evinced their Min
er in behalf of the , Sisters' Hospital, by their works
on that occasion, gave ample evidence of their de
votion to human brotherhood. Will Capt. Guthrie,
James May, Luke Taaffe, or any or all, bf their effi
cient coadjutor* in the late Soiree, nobly put their
shoulders to the wheel, so as to make it revolve op
the coming 17th t If no, the result will be highly
esteemed by every COSMOPOLITE.

the last h mars on this day, was employed for two
or three hours in inspecting, in Mr. Vattemares
room, the beautiful books, engravings, and medal's
which he had brought with him from France. the
object wan to take such a coop d'all of - these arti
des as would enable him to place a mums befom
the House of Representatives that would exhibit an
outline of the whole, and would do justice to the
labors of the generous enthusiast. The necessary
papers connected with this explanation were lying
upon Mr. Adams' dealt on Monday morning. we
understand his intention was to rise, when his
name was called, to make his expose, and to fel=
low it up with an appropriate motion in relation
to Mr. Vattemare. Before his name Was called,
Mr, A ilaari was struck down with the mortal blow
which has consigned him to the tomb,"

Th rsday—There was a decided advance in this article ;
the enquiry at stores was quite brisk ; - but buyers gener
