Nassin StreetaPiew York, No. 16, State Street, Boston, and South east corner of Baltimore, & Calvert Streets, Baltimore, to our Agent for receiving Subscriptions and advertisemento for the Miners' Journal. ireekti Circutation, • ' OVER TWELVE HUNDRED COPIES THE TARIFF ACT OF 1842; - • .72a Conniry deznands at restoration. For President, General ZACHARY TAYLOR; Subject to the Decieion of the Whig National Convention ENLARGEMENT Or THE JOURNAL.. • At the commencement of Our new volume In January next, It Is our intention to enlarge the dimensions of the Miners' Journal, and introduce various other altet ations and improvements, with the view'of increasing out space for news-matter,und affording additional fa cilities for our increasing advertising patronage. We shall strange the enlargement in such manner as to preserve the present Shape of the paper, and in-. traduce three or four columns of additional space. We will thus furnish more matter, than is provided by many of the mammoth, publications of the more populous towns, and have none of their uncomfortablsnese of shape. • .Our arrangements for furnishing the latest intelli gence are ample and complete. The• Magnetic Tele graph connecting this place with all the leading Cities In the Union, enables us to procure important news to the very latest moment. This is of course a very heavy expense to us, and we may add that this is the only Journal in This section of the State, that has engaged Its services. The markets of New York, Philadelphia, &c., are reported to within a few hours of our going to ' presus placing us considerably in advance of the regular imblications of the cities. . a The cljaracter of the newspaper is, as a gen'lal thing, a certain index to the character of the people supporting it. Like a minister representing our Govern ment - at a foreign court. the people are wont. to esti mate our character from the conduct and appearance of our representative. A newspaper abroad is regarded as the representative of the people supporting it. The Miners', Journal has a very large circulation among the heavy capitalists of the larger cities, and is looked urine as the immediate representative of the in terests of this region. Now, to render this representa tive wenhy of the position, is our object' and should be every citizens pride—for in proportion as the appear anee and respectability of a journal is maintained abroad. is the character of the people for intelligence, and substantial integrity established. TAMAQUA. its-111a. E. J. FRY 12 authorised to receive subscrip- tions for the Miners' Journal, and receipt for the same at 64 Drug tore in Tamaqua THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE We present this document to our county-sub scribers in on extra. Every one should endeavor to r read it, is the matters discussed are of the greoteill. importatice to every citizen of the Union For the convenience, however, of those who may not be disposed to read it at length, we ap pend a brief synopsis of its contents. ,After al luding to the excellence• of our system of govern ment, and acknowledging the favorable dispensa tions "of' Providence, in the rich harvests of . the past year, whereby we' have been able to feed the starving thousands of other nations, he proceeds to speak of : the pacific nature of our relations with all countries except Mexico. He alludes to the difficulties existing between that Republic and our own, and deems it unnecessary to recapitulate the causes leading to them, inasmuch:as they were stated in a previous message. He remarks, how , ever, that the former gave sufficient and repeated .cause for hostilitiee.on'Our part, but that S rupture was nevertheless at - Tided_ until our Minister (Sli 'dell) was insultingly rejected, the territory of Texas invaded, and thehlood of oureitizens abed. (This . ie the old story.) The abject of the war, after all, is a 4. vigorous and successfut termination." - . He looke for'in demnity in some shape, and, as he is well aware -that Mexico has nothing but territory, (and that, principally, composed of deserts and wild wastes,) of course we must take territory for our trouble He alludes in brief to the victories of our , arms, end bestows a somewhat strained praise upon this commanders, &e. • • After i the battles of Vera Cm. and Buena Mists, a commissioner (Mr. Trist) was despatch- ed to the Head -el heaters of the Army, with full powers to conclude a treaty of peace. But he did not succeed, and it was not until after Scott bad forced himself near the city of Mexico, that the enemy proposed overtures, &c. Oar minis ter then proposed a treaty which, had been prp pared by our. Government, and which asked for a cession of Meiican territory as indemnity, but the former refuied to enter into it, and so ended the mission. The President thinitsthat Congress contemplated the aquisition of territorial indemni ty whoa vceing supplies for the war, and especi ally in The three million fund. (tt teas generally thought that the latter was for another specific and well-comprehended object!)- 814 it appears the three millions .51111 lie in the treasury. Mr. `trises propositions far territory included New Mexico and California, and the President thinks from the weakness of her government, and the -contiguity of our osi`n, else will at any rate not be cable to hold them longer under her fold. In fact she is unable to govern her inhabitants in • 'those - provinces at this time; acid (hey are evert -day ,tecoming ripe for •'amxration." A variety '<of ,considerationeare held oat in favor of oar in-' silting upon their c assion to us—the advantages of commercial intercourse with aline and other, Eastern Nations, besides affordiagvplemlid harbors for our ships, being the principal ones. Nevi - nations haring thus Tailed, Mr."Trist heti teen recalled; and no further overtures for Pella! wall be made until the Mexicans themselves, pro pease them. if we wait en them, we fear at will be a long time before .we Arnie at a "'successful termination." With regard to the further preseontiom of the : war, he recommends the immediate occupation of California and New Mexico ; and the ectensioa of our territorial government scar them; and sug gests the appointment of civil officers at each of, the Provinces now under the domicancy of oar arms, to conduct the government thereof.. He advises a standing army to support the . goverment until a treaty shall be formed, and for that purpose recommends the organization of an additional force, to be called out' ae-. circumstances may re quire, &e. The difficulties in the way of, peace are believed tetra the military faciions in Mexico. He believes that there would be many favorable to' posee if assured of the eopport of our gins in the advocacy of it. If these were sustained, the power of the military ssight be overthrows, and a peace obtained. But if Wenn efforts should fail, why 4 ' the hence of the auditor would require us to make irgovermaecit of our own, and thus make a treaty of peace upon our own terms. (This is a very flimsy idea.) s, In the prosecution . of the war, it was proposed to levy contributions onthe inhabitants of Mexico, but Gen's. Scott and Taylor both deemed it im; practicable, and therefore dirt not do it.. Dulles es. imports were levied, however, and by this means the inhabitants made to contribute to the ezpenees of the war. He 'states the difficulties with the Brazilian gov ernment as benig happuicajsered. The pay ment of our claims upon the pawers,of Bomb America, though long delayed, will soon be made under the arrangements adopted. . Legislation is suggested for criminal and civil juthulielion over American citizens in China. The expediency of opening diplomatic relations with the Papal States is proposed and urged.- ; The financial affairs of the country sils rlwelt upOn at considerable length. The operation of the new tariff (without a pingle allusion, however, to the'peculiar and extistordP nary circumstances which , hive attended the first. year of , its existence!) is deemed favorable 'both as to revenue and the business of the country. The amount of the-public debt on the first instal!' was 646,659,659 46.•_ The expenditures for the ensuing year, if peace should not be conCluded, are estimated, at about- $59,000,000. Afurther loan of about $18,690,000 will be necessary, it is believed. A duty on Tea and Coffee is retorts mended, and the graduation and reduction of the price of public lands: The Stib.Treasury is com mended, bat certain Modification's and -ulteraiions are proposed. A branch mint at New York is recommended. Legislation with reference to the extension of territorial laws over Oregon is ad vised. Postage arrangements ,have been effected with. Bremen, and no difficulty encountered in this matter with any other power except Great Bntain ; r ale country still pursuing a plan (( with referenceto mailable matter for this country, which subjects it to double postage, &c. The Message, altogether; has a dignikrl, calm, and able tone, and, (apart from some of the views expressed) is a paper which does Mr. Polk some credit. Congress assembled on Monday last, - with but eight absent members. The Whigs nom inated Mr. Winthrop, from Miszachusetts, for the Speakerabip of the House, and elected him on the following day. Nathan Sergeant, Esq., was elec ted Sergeant—at—Arms, and Mr. ' Campbell, of Tennessee, to the-Clerkship. They are all Whigs.

Gallatin and the /far We have already alluded to:the Peace Pam phlet by the Hon. Albert Gallatin. • Whatever may be thought of the views of the writer, his high character and undoubted patriotism, his age, experience and ability, entitle them to the most respectful consideration. He contends that •truth never was or can be promulgated by fire and sword, or by any other than purely moral means. Hy these and by these alone, the Christian relig ion was propagated; and enabled in less. %an three hundred years, to 'conquer Idolatry. During the whole of that period. Christianity was tainted by no other blood than that of its martyrs." He says that "the &Kies of the people of the United States towards other nations are obvious. Never losing sight of the divine precept, "•Do to others as you would be done by," they have only to consult, their own conscience. For our benev olent Creator has implanted in the hearts of men the moral sense of right and wrong,tind that sym pathy for other men: the evidencei_of which are of daily occurrence." He urges that the " true honor and dignity of the nation are - inseparable from justice. Pride and vanity alone•demand the sacrifice. Though so dearly purchased, the astonishing successes of the American arms have at least put it in the power 'of the United• States to ,grant any terms of peace, without incurring the imputation of being actua ted by any but the mod elevated motives. It would seem that the most proud and vain must be satiated with glory, and that the most reckless and bellicose should be' sufficiently glutted with human gore." And a more truly glorious termination of the war, a more splendid spectacle, an ,example more high useful to mankind at large, cannot well be con ceived than that of the' victorious . forces of the United States voluntarily abandoning all their conquests without requiring any thing e l s e th an that which was strictly due tseour . citizens. He continues : , Tor the present nothing is more strictly requi red than to adopt the principal of slat us ante bet. Tura, or, in other words, to evacuate the Mexican territory, and to provide for the payment of the in• demi:lidos due to our citizens. The scruples of those who object to any cession whatever of terri tory, except on terms unacceptable to the South ern States, might be removed. by a provision that would only pledge a territory sufficient for the purpose, and let it in thepossession of the United States until the4ndemnities had been folly paid. Were I to listen exclusively to my own feelings and opinions, I would say, thals if the propositions which I have attempted to establish ere correct; if I am not much mistaken in my .sincere convic tion that the war was unprovoked by the M ezi• cans, and been one of iniquitous aggression on our part; it necessarily follows that, according to the dictates of justice, the United Slates are hound to indemnify them, for having invaded their ter ritory, bombarded their - towns, and inflicted all the miseries of War on °people Who werefight ing in defer:see/their own homes. Mall this be true, the United States would give but an ads quate compensation for the injuries they have in flicted, by assuming the payment of the indemni ties justly duel* their own citizen." We Also annex the recepitulahon of Mr. Galla tin's chief arguments : . nit is an indisputable fact, that the annexation of Texas, then at the war with Mexico, was tanta mount to a declaration of war, and that the com parative weakness of Mexico slime prevented its govemmeut from considering it as such. • Under these circumstances, it was evidently the duty of the United States to use every means to soothe and . cor.ciliate the Mexicans, and to wait with patience for an unchnditional recogni tion of the Independence of Texas, ull the -feel- . ings excited by our aggression bad subsided. It has been shown that 'after Mexico had resor ted, as a substitute for war, to the harmless sus pension of the ordinary diplomatic intercourse, to . attempt to make it retract that measure, - before any negotiations for the restoiation of harmony between the two countries should be entered into, was neither countenanced by' the acknowledged law of nations, nor necessary-lOr any 'useful pur pose, aorionsivtenv with a prober end just sense of the relative position in which the aggressive measures of the United Statep had placed the two countries. 'But that the refratil of Mexico to sub mit to that additional contumely; should have been considered as an insult to the United States, betrays the pride of power, rather than a just sense of what is due to the true dignity and honor of this nation. _ ISM /851 It has been demonstrated, that, the republic of Texas had not a shadow of right to the territory adjacent to thit left bank °Nike lower portion of the Rio Norte ; that though she claimed, she nes. er had, actually exercised jOrisdiction over any portion of it; that the Mexicans were - the solo in habitants and in actual posseeSion.Of that district ; that therefore its forcible occupation by the army of the United States was, according to the ac knowledged law of nations, ati well as in fact,. an act of open hostility and war ; that lhe resis tance of the Mexicans to that invasion vr,legiti mate ; and that therefore the war was unprovo ked by them, and commenced by the United States, If any doubt should rennin of the correctness of these statements, let them bo tested by the di vine and undeniable precept, ;.•Do unto-ethers as you would be done by." i 1851 1853 If atibie moment France was to contract a trea- tv of defensive and Offensive alliance with Mexico, and binding hersetrto defend it with either forces against any and - every other power, would not the United States at once consider such a treaty as a declaration of war 'I lf, in lieu of declaring wart against Great Brit- . ain in ty ,year 1812, the United States had only suspended,the ordinary -diplomatic relations be." tween the two countries; and great Britain bad declared that she would not enter into any nego tiation for the settlement of :all subjects of differ. once between the two unless the United States should, as a preliminary condition, restore these relations; would not-this have been consid ered as a most insolent demand, and one to which - the 'United States never would submit 1 If the United States were and had. been for more than a century, in possession-of a tract of i country, exclusively inhabited and governed by them, disturbed only by the occasional forays of an enemy, would they not consider the _forcible military invasion and occupation of such' a dis trict by a third Power, as open and unprovoked war, commenced against them 1 And could their resistance to the invasion render, them liable to the imputation of having themselves commenced the war?
