We have little doubt that this force is intended to take possession cf Santa Fe. Gen Houston, about ten months ago, when he issued his proclamations announcing his in tention to invade Mexico, granted a com mission to Cul Warfield, of Missouri, and authorized him to collect a band of voluns teers among the Rocky Mountain hunters and back ivoodimen of the ft ontiers of Texas and Missouri, for the purpose of overturning the authority of the Central ists in Santa Fe. The recent intelligence from the western borders o f Missouri ins duces us to believe that the armed force on the borders of Missomi has been collect ed by Col Warfield.or his friends; and, in-- stead of being a band of robbers, is merely a band of 'Ft X(111 emigrants, who are au. thorized by the Texan Government to set tle in Santa Fe. And as they are proba bly ere this bevond the territory of the U. nited States, and within the limits of Tex as, troops of the United States, wi 1 be un able to molest them without trespassing upon our own territor y.' , The Houstonian, of the sth inst., con tains a message from Gen.

The document breathes a spirit of hatred against die navy and jeal - ousy of Com. Moore.

The Executive of Texas has not, not had he ever any rig it under the colstitu— lion to form treaties of alliance with any other evernment, or to attempt to carry r•tharn into execution with nit the unction •of the Senate. In the case of Yucatan, that body had given -no expression in rela tion to such an alliance.

The whole transactton was' not of this • government, it was that of the individual ptieed at its head, withoat having authori. tv either under the constitution or law; and whatever is done, withint authority, is °feint! se violatiire of that law from which the authority is assumed to ho derived. The Executive regtrds any aid renticr aid to Yucatan as ultimately servicable to 'Mexico; assured as he is, that though the flickerings of a revolutionary spirit ten• doted to the malcontents a momentary gleam of live, eventually they will be re united to Mexico. and he vt ill not be sun. prised if their adhesion had been tendered -before the present moment.

SMITH, ICHITOMS•MD PROPRIICTORS THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1843 ice First Fate. The County Committee. The Democratic Cemmittee of Correa• pondence met yesterday, pursuant to no tice, at Mr. Little's Tavern, to determine t h e tins, whel,the Convention to nominate candidates shall be held. It will he seen, by the proceedings, that the last Wednes day in August has been fixed upon as the day fin• selecting a lieket, The meeting was !art; ta el fell oF a❑im Ilion: We think the lime resolved upon the best that could have been chosen. The farmers, before then, win have finished their harvest, and will have a p.,..ri id of comparative leisure, in which they mry consider the claims of th,-, 3e who desire nominations, and choose their delegates to the Convention. It is the custom, we are aware, to rep resent each election as it approaches, as more important than any that had ever been held, or would ever take place. But the fear of being charged with employing a hackneyed idea,shall not prevent us from expiessing an opinion that the present pe riod is one of unusual interest to the Democracy of Allegheny, in which they are required to exercise the utmost caution and circumspection in making their nom inations. With the next Congress the Democratic patty will,without douht,again enter ( upon a career of triumph, which will end in their obtaining entire control lof the nation•,) government; and it is much to be desired that in suclea state of things Allegheny S hould be represented by a man whose political p >siLion would give him influence with the majmity in Con gresa, and with the administration. To secure this groat of jest, too much care can not be token in choosing a candidate. There is every indication too, that the dem• ocratic nominations for county officers will be successful, if made with due regard to the wishes and preferences of the party. To ascertain these and to nominate under standing'y, some time is required, and we think the Commtttee have given sufficient, and not too much. The Gazette and its cliqne find it rather difficult to get u . p a crusade against the Catholics. The Deacon's desire for a "bull fight" is received very coldly by the pablic, and the general opinion appears' to be tile' the conductor of a purely political journal is not calbd upon, in the discharge of his duty, to attem pt to destroy the peace and harmony of soc iety by exciting ill feelings against any portion of the community on account of their reli— gious opinions. The Deacon and his cot. respnwlents are right, when th'y conclude that we cannot be forced into a controversy on religious matters, and although they ap. pear to think it a crime to entertain a feel toleration, that would respect the reOgiona Tights Of every citizen, we are perfectly satisfied that they shall make such a charge against us as often as their malignant feelin2s may move them. At a recent dinner given to the Legion of Honor, in New Orleans, General Davis gave the following toast:. "Natchez and New Orleans---daughters of the great Fa ther of Waters. May the current of their affections continue as strong, .deep and lastint , as that of their old father. This jumble of the real and the metaphorical, remi ids us of the eulogy of Sir Robert Boyle, in the peroration of which the or ator declared, that Sir Raliert was the fa• ther of Chemistry, and brothel' to the Earl of yt, rk. The politicil conditHn of the British North &mei ican colonie3 is any thing but satisfactory: "New Brunswick has a representative majority disagreeing with the Executive. Nova Scotia has a divided cabinet and uncertain support in the assembly. Prince Edward's Islatl is compkining ofabsen tee landholder s; Cape Breton is fur diss solving the Union with Nova Scotia; and Newfoundland is agitated by violent pars ties connected with a religious differs ences." Perfection.—Aim tit perfection, save lord Chesterfield, in every thing—though in most things it is unattainable, however they that aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make themgive it up as unattainable:" The decease of Sir Charles Bagot seas expected every hetwat the latest date. .:7,7,77;p7 7 ;•._w - !:.',:;.: ,. ,:., .:.;,..''::: ''.' - - - •' -, .1..... : '. , ..:-•.''l:-.:::.

Gen. Am podia was so much charmed by his he roic conduct, that he has adopted him as his son, and bestowed on him the name of Juan A mpudis, and has recommended him in the strongest manner to the favor of government.

Mona. E. informs me that he has agreed to complete tile canal within five years after reaching the ground; to do this in the time proposed by him, the labor of tour or five thousand men will be necessary, not one of whom is to be an American; all are _to Le brought from Germany and Ireland, the Amert:ans being re garded as too independent to submit to the French and English manner of ruling the common labor rer. The extensive London house of Baring at Brothers are represented to be the heaviest stock holders in this scheme—a scheme long kept secret until these gentlemen agreed to furnish the funds fir making the great MeAdamisel road running f.om the city of Panama to the bay ofChorera,ne• cording to the company's co, tract with the Re. publics of New Grenada. Thin road is about 50 miles in length,passing through a fine coal region, was commenced in 1857, and finished five months since. The canal from bank to bank will be 128 feet; at the bottom 67 feet in width—the whole length wi'l be 48. miles, and it will have 4 loc'ts. New Grenada has given to the company 86,000 acres of !and along the canal's line—in addition to which 400,000 acres more can be taken by them from any other part of the country, unless previ ously appropriated by government; however, the present settlers along the canal are to be paid at the rate of ono dollar per fattegude (a little over an acre) fur tie land they may own, and the compa ny happens to pitch upon.
