War with Mexico.
The "Commercial" of yesterday, in noticing a ru
mor that Mexico had actually declared war, makes
the folkraing remarks:
••Dernocretcy and the Liberty Party must stand I
responsible for this calamity when st shall come,
but Whigs and Democrats alike, must share the haz
ards and mischief's of a disgraceful war. Else than
disgraceful to as it cannot be, since we will hove
plan gedinto it wantonly; when common prudence and
a magortainecau regard for the rights and claims,
wieforneded if you will, of a feebler nation, *could
have averted war, without the slightest degree impair
ing oar chances for the ultimate acquisition of Texas,'
if the people really desired it.
Among the blessings that are likely to follow the
defeat of Mr Clay. we may place first in rank this war
with Mexico. When it shall come, that will be the
theme no doubt for National gratulation*."
Can it be possible that the editor of the Commer.
vial really believes that in the Annexation of 'Feast,
the United States disregarded "the rights" of Mexico?
Texas, as an independent notion, had a clear right
to assent or refuse annexation to the United States.—
The independence of Texas was complete and obso.
lute—it was an independence, not only in fact, tov
In sight. "Sho was released, rightfully and abso
lutely released from all Mexican allegiance, by the
acts and faults of Mexico herself, and Mexico alone.
There never was a clearer case. It was not revolu-
tion;—it was resistance to revolution; and resistance
under such circumstances, as left independence the
necessary resulting state, caused by the abandonment
of those with whom her former federal association
had existed. Whet then can be more preposterous
than all this clamor agaisat annexation, as a vio
lation of any rights of hers, any duties of ours?"
It is well known that the government of Texas made
the fist proposition for annexation—conscious of her \
weakness—satisfied that she was not able to protect
her commerce on the seas, of her territory, if assail
ed by any formidable power, she sought annexation, ,
as a measure that would secure to her people the bits
sings of free government and the protection of a pow.
erful nation. The whole history of the world proves
the (fact, unjust as it may be, that independence
among nations is an affair of power—hi.trry proves
that those who have not the power of self-protection ,
are compelled to seek it from others. The principal'_
ties of Germany were conpelled to seek protection in
the German confederation. Switzerland, it is tree,
has continued independent, but the reason is obvious:
she is permitted to occupy her present position be
cause it is necessary to preserve the balance of power
among the surrounding nations. Si.e owes her inde
pendence, therefore, more to the jealousy of the I
stronger powers than her ability to maintain it. Texas,
in the Maio" of these States, found an argument
strong and cogent in favor of annexation. If our
fathers were satisfied that the Union was necessary to
afford protection to the states, bow natural was it that
the people of Texas should take the same view of the
subject. and come to the conclusion, as they did, that
in order to have peace, and enjoy the blessings o f
good government, annexation to the United States
struts indiapeusibly necessary. It was natural that we
should be willing, yea, anxious to receive and give
her protection. The great mass of the people of
Texas were trained in the forms and principles of free
government—they were fit for political association
with us. Bound to us by kindred and origin, they were
one with us in sympathy and affection; they, after
having achieved their independence by the battle
of San Jacinto, off:red themselves, with a magnifi
cent country to us, for acceptance and Union. Who
can believe that our fathers would have rejected her?
There can be no doubt about it—we best conformed
to what they would have done, by admitting her
into the Union, and while strengthening ourselves, we
ward off foreign influence and foreign control in the
politics and high destinies of this nation.
Wei-cannot see that injustice has been done to
Mexico, and are perfectly willing that the Democratic
party shall have all the credit and bear all the respon
sibility of annexation. We shall not attempt to es
cape from it. If, however, we were so disposed, we
could easily, prove that nt the time the alternation
measure passed the Senate of the United States. there
was in that body a decided whig majority. That
sokig majority could have defeated, the measure, and
averted the "calamity" for which the Commercial says
"Democracy and the Liberty party must stand respon
sible." If the whigs had the majority in the Senate,
and the Commercial, we know, will admit the fact, why
did they permit the annexation resolutions to pass?
We think it will require all the ingenuity of our friend
to clear the skirts of the whig party. Did a portion
of the whigs of the Senate, leave their seats and per
mit the measure to pass? Not so—two yr more of
them actually voted for the measure—and yet we are
told by the Commercial, that the whole is chargeable
to the Democracy and Liberty men. We must con
fess we cannot see what the Liberty-men had to do
with the matter—they have nt an times, opposed the
measure, not by half-way declarations, as was the
case with a large portion of the wide., and Mr Clay
%himself, but in tones the most decided and emphatic.

A destructive fire broke nut about half past 10 o'-
clock, last evening, which for a time seemed to threat
en the destruction of the entire northern portion of our
beautiful village. Fortunately, our citizens had just
been partially aroused by the light of a fire at West
Troy, and many of our firemen were at their engine
houses when the alarm wan given. The fire broke out
in an extensive barn on Congress. owned by Mr Cot
terell of the Washington Hall, and from the combusti

mended, communicated to the adjoining halms and
dwellings, and Trend rapidly in every direction. An

our ever reliable fire department, however .non olitnin•
