We now be lieVe that ittliy that _,number will offer their ser vices from this good old Commonwealth alone. The. Gazette and. Mexico. The editor of the Gazette, in the first paper is suetraßer 'the receipt of the' excitink news from the Rio Grande,intimated tthat the President, in violation of the'Ponstitution, had invaded Mexico %--that our government had never exercised jurisdic. Lion over the territory beyond the Neuces. To' prove that this Wns not true, 1,1 - e pointed to the fact that the President; in Ads late message, stated that the revenuelaWs of the United States had been extend oier the territory, and, the necessary officers appointed by and 'with the advice and consent of the Senate: This, we said, was conelusive evi. dance that! the Army of Gem' Taylor was ;posted upon territory subject to 'the lays of, the 'United States. The editor of the Gazette has not met the facts presented by us in defence of our side of the ques. tion. We will note direct the attention of the editor „ - again to the facts of the case, so - far as they are • within our knowledge. ,In the first place, the 3d article of - the,. .treaty of May 14, 1836, between Santa'Ana and the 'pexian Government, we re gaol as having a very important bearing upon the point at issue. It is in the following words: ''AIt.TICL.T. 3. The Misican troops will evacu ate the territory of Texas, passing to the other side of the Rio Grande del Norte." The Mexican Army were required to "evacuate the territory , of Texas," and in order to do ins, it bat seen that they were to pass "to the otha side if the Rio Grande .fkl IV:ie." The article not only requres the 'Mexican troops "To F.T . VVATE THE TEIIIIITOnk OF T 5.415," bUtSpedfleally fb,pass .!!.-; the other side of the Rio Grande del Norte." Why re. „.. _quire the exican troops "to pass to - the other side of the Rio - Grande del Norte,” if it was not neces sary.for.them to do so in order to 'evacuate the territory of Te.sas?" It is Clear, therefore, that the parties tol the treaty of. May 14, 1836, regard ed the Rio Grand as the boundary between Texas and Aexicp; and hence the provision in the treaty that the Mexican troops should "pass tathe.other -" 4 side of, the. Rio Grande del Norte." It is a clear case; the. Mexican Government have no just claim to the territory between the Nueces and Rio Grande. bathe month_of December of the mune year, the Representatives of the people of the Republic of -Texas in Congress passed an act - Aefining the = boundaries .of tha same. In that act '.31-aich was 'approyed by President Houston on the 19th of Decerriber, 1836: the boundaries of the Republic of - Texas, are described as follows: • "Be it enacied by the 'Senate and Howe of .Repre ., sentatioes of the Republic of Texas in Congress as . iembled, That from and after the , passage of this act, the civil and potitieatjurisdiction of this Repub lic be, and is hereby declared to eijeud to the fol lowing boundaries; to wit: Beginning at the north of the Sabine river, anclrunning west along the Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land, to the mouth of "the Rio Grande„thence op the principal stream of said river to its source." The •frarnera of the Texas constitution, in ac . cordance with the 3d article of the treaty.made with' Santa Ana, flied the Rio Grande 'as the boun dary between Mexico and the Republic. There is alsci abundant evidence that the terri tory between the Neuces and the Rio Grande, be-, „longed to the province of Texas, before the organi-1 - nation of the Republic. We will now ask the at ' -teutionof the Editor of the Gazette to Mr. Adams' views onithat isubject In a letter to Don Onis, dated 13th March, 1818, Mr. Adams said: . ".The claim of France always did extend west ward to to the Rio Bravo.' 'She ahray* claimed - the territory which yots call Texas as being with in the - limits.' And he further says: 'Well might Messrs. Pinkney and Monroe write toM. Cevallos, in 1805, that the claim of the United States to the • boundary /*the Rio Bravo- was as clear as: their right to the Island of New Orleans.' And in his letter of the 31st of October, 1818, he says: 'Our title to Texas is established beyond the power of • further controversy." • - Mr,. Clay in a speech delivered in Congress on the 3d of April 1820 said: `iThicinvolveil an inquiry into our claim to Tex as, It-was not his intention to enter at large into this•sulject. He presumed the spectacle would not be prezented, of questioning, in this branch of the government, our title to Texas, which had been 1 constantly maintained by the Executive for more _than fifteen years past, under three several admin istration.s. He was, at the same time, ready and ' preparelfmake out our title, if any one in this House were fearless enough to controvert it. He would; for the 'present, briefly state that the man who most familiar with the transactions of the govenunent---who largely participated in the for mation of. the constitution, and in all that has been done under it—who, &sides the eminent services that he has rendered his country, principally con tributed to the acquisition of Louisiana, and who must be supposed, from his various opportianities, best io know its limits—declared, fifteen years " ago, that our title to the Rio Grande was as welt founded alit , was to the 'irons! of New Orleans.'l • We have now shown that the Ric Grande Was • fixed as the boundary between Mexico And Texas, by Santa Anna's treaty of May. 14, 1836; we have also' shown that the Mexican Congress,.n Decem ber of the same year, declared that the Rio Grande • ' was the dividing line between Texas and Mexico. • --- Ve have proven by the evidence •of the editor's *litical friends, Messrs. ADAMS' and CLAT, that the province called Texas extended to the Rio . Bravn; whieh is only another name for the Rio Grande. We belie shown, too, that the American Government has been , exercising civil jurisdiction over the territorY beyond the Nueces. We defy the editor of the Gazette to controvert the facts l ' I above ;stated. The unprejudiced of all parties, we doubt 'not, will freely admit that the United States ha* a clear right to the territory upon which Gen, Taylocis stationed with his troops, and if so, the 'of the Gazette, that the President has inva ded_charge , Mexico, is utterly untrue. The evidence given, above ought to satisfy the editor-of the Gazette that the zaver Rio Grwade has el. Ways been regarded as the boundary of Texas and but we haven° hive that he can now be in . guewdby facts or argnments;he has taken taa stand tie dererice. of Mexico, and we presume:WM continue his patriotic lahors to prove his /Ant government in the wrong.

The Pennsyviinian of Monday congratulates the people of Pittsburgh on their "merry mood" in view of the supplementary legislation regarding the. Connellsville. - railroad charter. Well, is it any Uncommon affair that those who "win". shcinbi exercise the common privilege of 'laughing," not' only at . theiiewn success but the total diseomfi-, tore of . their enemies. But whilst congratulating . us on a return of good humour, the editor of that print betrays in a very ftriking , degree the bitter ness of his own feelings, for which he seeks relief in pouying out the vials of his wrath upon one of our Senators, with a side wipe at one of hie own, Mr. GIBBONS, who had much less knevtiedge of the passage - of these supplements than Mr.CRABII, to whom, we know, at least one important section was exhibited, and who was too stupid or negli gent to.exarnine into its provisions. He seems, also; to seek consolation from the hope—vain hope we are sure—that either by intimidation or other, influences they, can prevail on the Governor to re fuse to comply with a plain and _unmistakeable cOmmand—ine in which he has no:discretion, di rect et: implied The law says in explicit terms, on certain preliminaries having been complied With by the commissioners in taking the stock the•Goveruor “shall issue letters patent." The edi tor says, "we think the Governor will be justified in refusing letters patent."

Squara, if be is the man tole . led into any such traps by the advice of the Pennsylvanian or any other print or individu als, however imposing "'their names or influence. The Governor is an honest man, and knows his duty well. He now has no power over this char ter, which he willingly and voluntarily signed; and should its further requirements be carried out, he is bound to issue the letters patent, and we have no fear that he will shrink from the execution of his duty in this particular, to gratify the maligni ty of Philadelphia against this section if the State, or throw himself into the breach for. the sake obviating the ignorance, neglect and imbecility Of •Pluladelphia Senators and Representatives:' ) The Governor Will fearlessly do :what is jus and right in the matter; he will promptly, we.-are assured, issue the letters patent the moment he is satisfied that the requirements of the law' have been faith fully complied with. WASHIIIGTON, Aftty 13, 1846. The principal topic of conversation here, is the war with Mexico. The general impression is that it will not beef long duration. The liberal means at the control of the President for carrying it on, and the still more liberal spirit of the people in coming forward to tender their services for the oc casion, it is confidently believed will enable this governinent to bring the "Revolutionized nation" to terms, during the present season. There is, however, another view of this matter which will be of far more consequence, than the mere settle ment of our differences with Mexico. The prompt ness with which Congress has acted—the decided majorities in both houses in favor of the bill which has passed—aml the alacrity which thelpeople are offering their services; will show to the world that , though in times of quiet with other nations we may be divided with seism and cut up into par ties, whenever a foreign foe invades us we are °Ns PEOPLE. • You will have seen that by the law, the 'Pres: - dent is authorized to accept the service of volun teers to the number of 50,000, if he shall deem it necessary. This number, it is generally believed will not'embrace but a small position of those who will offer and will probably be made up, princi pally froni the western and south-western states. A few from a more nothern region; may be accept ed for the campaign in the northern part of Mexi ccp—say Santa Fe and California. I hope to hear a good account from our volun teer corps in Pennsylvania. Cannot Pittsburgh, raise a regiment It would speak favorably for Pennsylviusia, if she would offer to the general gov ernment the number authorized by the law. Sup pose you set that ball rolling. Washington is fast filling up with strangers— has now about as many as at any tame during the winter. The hotels and_ most of the boarding hon. sea are all full. Some are attracted by interests connected with the war—and many by those con nected with the approaching national fair. There is no question that this is to be a grand affair.— The building erected exprmly for the purpoie coy , era an area of about 40,000 square feet. The-per formance is to terminate by a ball in the same building, in which it is cornputedfive hundred setts of cotillions can be accommodated at the same tithe. I idvise our Pittsburgh friends who may design to attend the fair, to be here a day or two, at least, to advance, if they shall desire a "place wheron to lay,their head." Yours, in a hurry.

The work is to embrace the history of Western Pennsylvania from its first settlement down to the present time, giv ing a detailed account of the Movements of the first settlers, Indian treaties, conferences, &c.; the causes that led to the first Indian wars, giving al so' the popiilation of each county and township.— The works to be prepared by George Pont Esq., of .j,ancaster city, a gentleman well knovi/u to some of our citizens, Mr. F. r is entirely qualified for the task a r raigned him, Such a work lis much needed, and we trust will find its way into the hands of western people generally.

Our democratic friends are seriously invitednd to consider the extraorilinaryassumption efpower by the present Whig commissioners, in their novel and illegal course in the distribution of property which by the. People wee confided to them as aqsacred de posite. The time was,when under gooff, old demo cratic rule, the commissioners were goyemed—by principles of law and a sense of duty, but now we find them regardless of alt considerations of public policy, pursuing measures having ulterior views to subsem mere party purposes, and employing per sons unnecessarily to expend . money for the ac complishment of party nominations ark personal aggrandizement Under what authority of law do the commission- err act, in pulling down a most expensive part of the public buildings? l'he alterations being made are not called for by an expression ofpublic opini on; nor can it be said the ehangei in progress are repairs which would be required in view of conve nience or comfort to those interested. Have 'all the commissioners assumed the responsibility of the vast expenditure incident to . the present alter ations, or is this work the dictum of one-master spirit, who seeks a nomination for one of the pub lic offices? The public bunters, alreadY onerous, demands economy in the expenditure of the pub lic taxes, and unless some good and sufficient rea son be assigned for the extravagant outlay in the present instance, we will expect the people to be up and doing, in the matter of the nominations for the office of county commissioner, to arrest the unnecessary and prodigal waste of public money, in rebuilding piles of stone and planting: trees, for the mere purpose of enabling a few to; laud the commissioners for liberality to the working classel. 'When shall we be done with the new Court house expenditure, and when may we expect the Tax payers tobe freed from the burdens connected with thii court house affair? Will any one of the commissioners file a demur rer, or take issue upon the facts in this case? ~We hope, however, the commissioners may, setter is their pleas, and not doubt a Jury of the Country in their integrity to 'decide upon -an issue of fact exhibiting the, meriti of the cause, if any in this wild and extravagant expenditure of the public funds.
