•Etmoin my THE LATE Dn. BRUCE.—In anoth
er column will be -found a Eulogy on the late
Dr. Bnice, delivered before the Tilghman Literary
Society, by SA.3tv EL FLEXING, Eli[];
ccl•The editor of the Gazette in his paper of
yesterday, republishes the letter written by Mr.
M'Candless to the peOple of Clarion county, in
1844. We cannot conceive what the editor ex
pects to effect by its republication at this time.
Mr. .3T Childless in the Clarion letter says "you" (the
Democracy of Clarion county) "have properly ap
preciatedithe importance of the protective principle
to the success of the manufacturing and agricultu-
ral interests of PennsYlVania, and in the abandon
:tient of that principle by Mr. Clay in the coin
promise.bill, you have the best guardnty that, if
elected to the Presidency, he will carry out the
principles of that bill, and afford you a hori
zontal duty, to enable you to contend with the pau
per labor of Sweden and Russia. fit doing so, he
would give you and the Tariff the same support
that the Trope does the hanging man—instant death
and without the -•benefit, of clergy." Support him
-if you can—for my own part, I shall go or POLK
and DALLAS, who have at heart the true interests
of Pennsylvania."
Mr. MCANnir.ss in the Clarion letter, as will
be seemby the extract, expressed himself in strong
terms, opposed to the election of Mr. CLAY; he also
declared very explicitely, that he would -go for
POLY Ind DALLAS," because he believed them to
be thetrue friends of Pennsylvania interests. Mr.
111!Candless Was as good as his word—he opposed
Mr. CLAY, and supported Poix and DALLAS. A
few months before the Clarion letter was writ-
ten, it will be recollected, that the editor of the Ga
zette too, declared himself opposed to the nomina
tion of Air CLAY, on the ground tharhe had "Tli ROT -
Tx.r.D rue nz (Clay,) had put the
knife to the• throat of protection and asked fix help
to drive it home." All this and much more was
said by him in opposition to Mr. Czar, and yet
the editor, after the nomination was made acqui
eseedia it, and zealously supported hini for the
Presidency. It is, therefore, scarcely fair to pre
sume that he now republishes the letter to show
that Mr. M'Candless warmly disapproved of the
course of Mr. Czar, on the compromise bill. We
really think, hoiyever, that Mr. MCandless should
be grateful to the editor of the Gazette, for the fa
vor done him inqte republication of the Clarion let
ter. Better evidence of Mr. M . C.csni.Ess' devotion
to Pennsylvania interests could no`. easily be given
to the public—it shows that he was the decided op
ponent of Mr. Czar's Compromise Bill, as it was
called, and which was undoubtedly very injurious
to the interests of Pennsylvania.

The Whig Cmtvention nominated their last year's
members by acclamation and yet rejected Gr.onor.
DARSIE, their really useful representative in the
Setiate. The following letter from two leading
one Liberty man to Mr. BCRREL, the
member from Westmoreland, shows the relative
estimation in which our Senator and Members
were 'held by Messrs. DENST, Ronissos and
CRAIG. In the Senate they relied upon Mr. DAR
SIR, but when the Right of Way bill was sent to
the:House, they were anxious to give Messrs. Big-
ham, Brackenridge, Hilands and filCurdy the , •go.
by" and made an "earnest request" that Mr. Bun
ass should take the control of the bill:
' Hanarsuuno, March 25, 1816.
-To J. M. BURILEI4 r , Esq.—
/her Sin—We have received your note of this
morning, and have heard with utter surprise that
story had been put in circulation that you were
',indirectly opposing the right of way bill in order
Vi have it defeated, that Gov. t , hunk might be sa
ved from the responsibility of signing or vetoeing
the bill." ' -
-- -
It is true as you state that we have all spent
much time here during the present session attend
ing exclusively to the progress of that bill, have
been thrown into frequent consultations with you
on the subject, and it gives us great pleasure to
' have this opportunity of bearing testimony to the
zeal and ability Which you have uniformly display
- ed in relation to that important measure. Frolti
the first moment that either of the subscribers ar
rived here, we thought it desirable that some gen
tleman;
tleman not a representative of Allegheny county,
should-have charge of the bill in,the House, and
- were gratified very much to find a member so in
- iluential and competent as yourself willing, in com
• jcifiance with an earnest request, to undertake the man
agement of the Bill.
Since you consented to assume the responsibility
of this measure, so vitally important to Western
. Penniylvania, we have had frequent conferences
with you, and our faith in your fidelity, tact and
ability, has never for one moment faltered. We
have uniformly found you; devoted to the measure
and always equally ready to receive our sugges
tions or to advance your own opinions, and in ev
'ery movement that you have made upon the sub
- -jee.t. you have possessed our most unlimited confi
' dence.
Our bill has been kept back for some days past,
for reasons which it is unnecessary to detail now,
but they are entirely satisfactory and were Vibe
rately considered, and induced us to adtqe the
course you have adopted.
Regretting as We do most sincerely that such
gross injustice shOuld have been done you,
We remain, sir,
Most respectfully yours, '
HARMAR DENNY,
NEVILLE B. CRAIG,
W. ROBINSON, Jr.
THE Ammar Is.rzaEss..—As we may presume ,
the following, from the Philadelphia Pennsylvani
an, bears a semi-official stamp, it will be read with
satisfaction by the people of Pennsylvania,.
uFor some time it has been believed that the
August interest could not be paid; but we are hap
py-to state that, owing to the promptitude of the
several counties in the payment of their taxes,
and the increased revenue from our State improve
menti—added to the exertions of the State Trea
surer—there is now every probabitity that the
semi annual interest will be, panctually and fully
paid!'

No MED4ATIDB OFFERED BE GREAT BRITAIRi
—The *atington correspondent of the North
American, * ! under date of June 22d, says:—l. un' T
derstand Mt Packenham ,has not received instruc
tions to offe mediation. Thermistake of the Brit
ish probably occurred in this way. The holder's
of Mexican! Bonds in London, applied to Lord Ab.•
erdeen to protect their interest, who answered he
would be glad to see the war terminated. The
subject was undoubtedly, entertained in England,
for General{ Armstrong broached it in the politicl
circles heM before the arrival of the Caledonia.
DANCING AND Swiltxtrro.—A German journal
remarks that among the curiosities of Vienna
there is a i great hall which has recently been
opened, and which can be made to serve, according
to the season, for a dancing hall or for bathing
rooms. In winter five hundred couples of dancers,
and three times as many spectators, can move a
bout in it Without difficulty. What is more re
markable, is; that but seven hours are required to
transform 1 the swimming-hall into a ball-room.
RAILIIO.O INTELLtoENca.—The New York
News says that on the Boston and Worcester
Railroad, :the passenger receipts during last half
year were $109,128, and the freight earnings $lll,-
168, an increase of $13,239 and $11,929 upon
the same period last year, or $25,198 in the
aggregate. notwithstanding a small reduction
in the importion of receipts from joint ho.
siness under recent agreement with the West6n
.Railroad Co.
_ Tits "Iroraing Advertiser" is the title of a new
daily paper started in Cincinnati, under the edito
rial control of our old friend, C. It Ttnomm, Esq.,
formerly editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The
"Advertiser" takes the place of the "Union," whi!ch
has ceased to exist. With such a man as Baoui: et
at its head, the Advertiser will undoubtedly be one
of the Wailing Democratic Journals in the State
of Ohio.
A HARO.:CED VILLAIN.--It is said that Mahan,
who was found in a room, in Newark, with the
putrid boOy of his wife, and :Nas t sentenced to
ten yearOmpisonment in the state prison, evinced
the utmost indidrence as to his fate. On pas
sing a hog pen, between the court and his pris
on, he jdcularly remarked to the officers that
it smelt almost as bad as his room did when
they arre'eted him.
A Ban FELLow.—Bragdon, the bigamist, now
on trial tn, Boston, is accused, by one of his fire
wives, of having committed a murder in Maine in
I 543. 'Bile woman who accuses him is Lucy Ann
Jones—she who gave such singular testimony [da
ring his [trial. According to her own statement
she was an accessory after the fact. It is suppos
ed he killed Col. llenly.
FEXAIIE T EACH Ens.—Two thousand female
teachers are said to be immediately wanted iM the
State ofXentucky. A writer in the Louisville
Journal Bays, that a number of benevolent ladies
are taking measures for supplying in part this des
titution. -
AN OLD SAYINO LITERALLY FULFILLED.4--A
man named Austin Clarke, in Hartford Conn.:has
been sentenced to be imprkoned 13 days and
pay a fthe of $7 and costs for stealing, the bits
of silver off the eyes of the corpse of the late
Dr. Faniher!
WHEAT 1N 3ficntoxx.—An exchange speaking
of the wheat crop in Michigan says: If nothing
unfavorahle occnrs the preEent month, the harvest
will be more abundant than e'.er in Michigan.—
The quantity of land in wheat is of course much
greater 41130.
"Mane TUE PI A.I.TE:',---The Nets York Newn
pays, “We have had a long conversation With
Bate since his release. He delivers himself of
sentiments which would do tiny man honor, and
gives evidence of a desii i e to rank as a good and
worthy Citizen."
Dow, Au.tin.—The fourth span of the Railroad
bridge, Which was being erected across the Susque.
hana ricer at Harrisbuzg, was blown down by a
squal of wind on Friday last. This is the third
time that said bridge has been destroyed this se4-
son.
NEW DREES.—The Wellsburg, Va. Transcript
comes tQ us in an entire new dress. 111 }JABS is
an enterprising fellow, and we see he ii-determin
ed to mike the Transcript neat in its aPpearnnce
as well as interesting in its contents,
COMPLINENNTAILT.—The N. 0. Delta 'says
that.,,a lb.dy residing in the neighborhood of the
camp of the Tennessee Volunteers, who was on
Sunday delivered of an infant, has had it christ
ened nTennessee - -Miss. Tennessee Junes.
To EliE RE-BUILT.—The Harrisburgh papers
state that the directors of the Harrisburg Bridge
have determined to receive proposals for rebuild
ing the part of their bridge which was swept
away the spring.
wow.—Snow fell for some minutes in New
York on Thursday last. 3he News says there is
no occasion for an invalid to leave New York for a
change of climate—they have several changes every
week.

Reprelientative, Mr. Darragh was called upon to
act, wr one which "demanded that he should go
"as fa as him who went thef - arthest, in'all mea

glo
"ry of the,national flag."

dence, tat a public entertainment vies yesterday,
by a number of our citizens, tendered to the pfh
cers of Gen. Taylor's army . ,..who arrived here on
Thursday evening, from Mitamoras, and by them
declined. We regret very much that their previons
arrangements were such as to render it necessary
for them to leave the city at 5 o'cleck, yesterday
afternoon. The services which they have rendered
their country on the Rio Grande,'l will ever be
gratefully remembered by the American people.

co" The Canada papers at the present time
are very abusive of the government and people
of the United States. We annex the following as
a specimen
[From the Kingston (Canada) Whig, June, 17.)
We may perchance be reckoning without our
host. What Great. Britain and the other great Eu
ropean powers may do, when they hear of the at
tempted spoliation of Mexico, remains to he seen.
Should they maintain a neutral position, the Uni
ted States will quickley finish herrobbery, and all
will be well for a time. But shOuld they attethpt
remonstrance, they must be prepared to back that
remonstrance with an armed force; for nought but
brute strength can now restrain the United States
from the an of the Califoinias to the Great
Republic. Like a young bull-dog, that has just
tasted blood, nothing will stay the desire for con
quest. murder, and rapine, but a good thrashing,
and that only while the smart of the blows is felt.
The mail of the'•th June will partially inform us
as to the the European posers.
Si NUVLAR,--A colored man has been arrested
in Boston for flogging a white man named Cooper.
Thg cause of the assault was the marriage of the
white man to a colored woman.
a :y.A gentleman in Philadelphia was awakened
one night last week by a noise in his chamber.—
Springing up he encountered two burglars; one
of them escaped; the other he secured.

The well merited popularity of Col. 31.C.arrn
cnss it will be seen by the following articles, is not
confined to the county of Allegheny, he is admired
and respected by the Democracy of the whole State.
COL. WILSON M'CANDLESS
By a lute number of the Pittsburgh Post, We dis
cover that a committee s .consisting of upwards of
100 of the most influential Democrats in Allegheny
county, have addressed a letter to Col. 111 . Candless
requesting him to stiffer his name to be used as 'a
candidate for Congress in the District composed of
the county of Allegheny, at thehext election.—
The Colonel replies in his usual happy but modest
style—and, whilst he will not consent to use any
personal exertions to secure his own nomination, he
has placed himself in the hands of his friends, wil
ling to be governed by their actions, in the Con
vention.
Now, whilst we claim no right whatever to in
terfere in the nomination of a sister county, or to
say aught against any of the other-distinguished
gentlemen brought forward as candidates, we must
be permitted to say that we have low , b desired to
see Col. I‘l•Candlcss occupy a seat in Congress, be
lieving him to be pre-eminently qualified fur such
a station. The high reputation he sustains, wheth
er considered as a Gentleman, a Lawyer, or a
Statesman, would give him an influence in Con
gress that would be felt throughout the entire
State. Col. 31 . Candless possesses the talents and
the ability to successfully meet, in debate, any of
the great Statesmen of the age, and his very pres
ence in Congress would prove a tower of strength
to the Democracy of Pennsylvania, in pushing for
ward the trite interests of our people.—Bedf ord
Gazette.
co- Colonel WILSON INCC.A.xra.css, we perceive,
from the Pittsburgh Post, of the 11th instant, is
urged by a long list of Democrats to submit his
name as a candidate for Congress to the Alleghe
ny County. Convention. If the gallant Colonel
should be placed on "the track the Whigs may as
well put their house in order, as there is no pub.
lic man in all Western Pennsylvania, who com
bines more of the elements of success or popular
ity, or who is more feared by the Whig leaders.
An able and eloqUent speaker, a free and warm
hearted gentleman, a steady and unflinching Dem
ocrat, he has the happy faculty of winning the
good will of, his political foes, and of being the
favorite-of his political friends. He would be a
valuable acquisition to the Democratic party in
congress, should he be elected, (as, if he is nomi
nated, NV,i believe Ibej to that distinguished

RULOGY
ON THE LATE REV. DR. BRUCE,
BY SAMUEL FLEXING
Pronounced before the TILGHMAN LITERARY SO
CIETY, and furnished for publication, pursuant
to a resolution adopted unanimous/y.
Gilcrt.zsinst:—Believe me, in rising to perform
the painful duty imposed upon me by your kind
ness, it is without a feeling of the most distant
affectation that I acknowlege my inability to do
justice to an individual whose virtues human lan
guage and human panegyric are insufficient to
commemorate.
The,departure of a great and good man to an
other and a brighter state of being is an event, al
though lamentable and saddening, yet impressive
and replete with instruction. The world experi
ences the loss of its brightest ornament The long
funeral gathering—the slow and heavy step and
the sorrow that mantles every countenance, attest
the excellency of him who has taken his exit
from life's fleeting drama. The leaning forward
of the throng, eager to catch a glimpseof the
fresh earth that will hide his remains from mortal
view, until summoned to judgeniertt—the warm
tear and the heaving breast, as the 'hollow sound
of the rumbling clay Is heard, tire attestations of
the esteem in which they hold one, who wass'en
, deared to them by those noble ties, those generous
impulses, and those kind actions, that make the
more direct and immediate appeal to the higher
sensibilities of human nature.
..
There remarks I feel warranted to make, in view
n the sad occasion which has this day called us
together. It is an occasion of no trivial import—
of no slight moment—an occasion-mot to be pas
sed by with indifference or inadvertency—when
we are. called upon through the afflictive dispensa
tion of an all-wise, and omnicient Providence, who
does all things that beneficial results may accrue
to his creatures, to pay a tribute of respect and ven
eration, cherished deeply in the heart, to the mem
ory of a man beloved and respected wherever he
woe known, and whose collosal mind, whose splen
did intellectual abilities, and whose towering men
tal superiority, won for him, at once the love and
admiration of the community, and were transcen
ded only by those nobler, purer attainments which
mark the Christian's character. and which our de
parted friend possessed and cultivated in so eminent
a degree.
Towards the close of his days, a period universal
ly regretted, these attainments shone forth in their
most undiminished lustre. No clouds came to flit
over the end of his weli• f spent life, or to obscure its , 1
brightness. It was serene as is the serenity of the
evening sun, when he guilds the mountain top with
his mellow effulgence, and diffuses a radiance more
beautiful and sublime as he retires from the wes
- tern horizon. You find him calmly and resignedly
falling into that long sleep, whence he shall rise
when the trump shall wake the dead.
The prominent incidents of his earthly career
are so familiar to your recollection, that I deem it
unnecessary and inappropriate to give more than
a cursory account of them.
Rev. Robert Bruce, D. D., was born in the year
1776 in the town of inScotland.- His pa
rentage was highly revectable and is generally
' believed to haze sprung ihilill a regal ancestry.
; who at one time swayed the sceptre of Scottish
!dominion, but were ultimately deprived of their
!regal authority—an ancestry which could point, as
, the trophy of its valor, ' to Edward of Caernarvon,
who was defeated by the prowess of an army, fight
! ing, in behalf of their homes and fire sides, their
! heaths and highlands, fertile in romantic refunds
! cence. Thar army was led to the conflict by the
hero who, when victory rewarded ~his patriotism,
laid his spear to rest, on the plains of Bannockburn.
After receiving an excellent education in the ru
diments of learning he was sent to Edinburg Col
lege, a di t ,tinvisheil seminary of . litepature, where
. -
by assiduous attention to his anluous studies, and
a firm determination to be excelled by none of his
fellow students,he acquired from the Faculty much
praise and credit.
The celebrated Dug,ald Stewart, who, as a mor
al philosopher, was admitted to be the most prat
tient in Europe, and whose valuable works, were
books of reference in every continental college, was
then the occupant of the philosophical chair, and
perhaps, to this fact it is owing, that Dr. Bruce was
so accurately acquainted with, ethical sciences.
After passing the customary routine of study, he
graduated and left his alma malcr, beloved and hon
ored for his untiring studiousness and attractive
affability of deportment. No person stood higher
in the regard of his friends. His manner was nat
urally mild, winning and affectionate.
A short time atter, he commenced studying for
the ministry and by the most sedulous care was
soon admitted to be a probationer. Having emi
grated to America, he was engaged in preaching
the gospel at various placei not being possessed
of a permanent situation, when he receised a pas
toral call from the Associate congregation of
Pittsburgh. Be accepted the call, and took the
ministerial charge of that congregation.
In 1519 he was elected Principal of the Western
University, certainly a well-merited tribute to his
splendid talents and splendid accquirements. He
remained with the University in her darkest and
most unpropitious hours and never for an instant
flagged hi his devotion to her welfare and prosperity.
Under his guidance she has risen from an obscure
and badly patronized academy, to a position of
which she has reason to be proud. To his exertions,
she owes what she now is.
In. 1829 Dr. Bruce published a volume of his
sermons, which met with a very favorable recep
tion at the hands of the public, and were much
admired. The arrangement of them is faultles?,
and they are excellent in point of chaste, vigor
ous composition, and not unfrequently display a
lofty strain of eloquence.
He was the originator, and founder of the Phil
osophical Society established in our city several
years since. and principally composed of scientific
men, residing in the western portion of the state.
He was appointed its President and some of his
lectures delivered before it, and published, exhibit
a wonderful and profound kiiiiwledge of philosophi
cal subjects. The ease and familiarity with which
he could lecture, were adapted almost to pursue&
the anditor that he was an encyclopedia itself, of
physical and ethical lore.
In the year 1843, Dr. Bruce separated from the
Western University, having previously sent in his
resignation of its Presidency, and in connexion
with Professor Robert Grierson, a gentleman of the
most unassuming demeanor and of great intellec
tual ability, founded Duquesne College and became
its provost
Numerous and burdensome were the disadvan
tages under which it labored for a while, yet his
fame as an instructor overcame them, and Du-
quesne College met with encouragement that ex
ceeded the most sanguine expectations. For three
years, during which many rating men were finish
ed and went away to mingle with *the busy scenes
of life, enlightened by his tuition and admonished
by his salutary precepts, it continued under his
auspices and superintendence.
His continuance with it was severed by the ruth•
less and impartial finger of disease, which has thus
brought to him a cessation of his labors, and in
troduced him into the realms of unending bliss.
On the night of the 15th June, 1846, about 7
o'clock, he entered upon his rest.
"fle gave his honors to the world again—
His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace."
We have lost a man, in whose breast were con
centrated those pure and ennobling traits that con
stitute true greatness = whose whole life was given
to doing good—to the invariable accomplishment
of deeds of virtue and morality—a man against
whose fair name calumny could advance no slan
derous allegation—a man of uncommon mental
power, of inordinate erudition, who for more than
half a century has been devoted to literary and
scientific researhc, and could boast of having trav
elled over the wide field of letters—and a man,
who in addition to all his other acquisitions, maid.
fested by his conduct and intercourse with society,
which looked upon him with as a member of the
greatest value, that he was in the possession and
enjoyment of those principles which arise from
Christian belief.
He has lived to a ripe old age and filled out the
measure of allotted existence; his venerable head
has been whitened with the frosts of seventy win
ters, and with the moat lierfectiesignation, strength
ened by the hope of immortal felicity he has sur
rendered his spirit to him who gave ill -
Re was a scholar and a ripe and geoid one;
Exceeding wise, fair spoken and persuading.
' •* S. * •
And to add greater honors. to his age
Than man could give hini, he 'died fearing God
. .
Ills body has been laid low iu the cold and Mien
tomb, there to lie until the last shadow shall have
passed from time's dial..
Now
Now in his ashes honor; peace be with him!
The grave's alarturibell as it rings the plaintive
chime, "Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes," brings
to you the intelligence that he is gone, whom yeti
regarded with sentiments , none other than of love
and veneration.
There is one thing, however, gentlemen, which
has not gone, and which I trust will not be lost
I have reference to the example he set. It was an
example of the sternest piety, of unwavering moral
rectitude, and open-hearted benevolence which
knew no bounds—recognized no restrictions.
This is not language that springs from overated
feeling, or exaggerated attachment, but language,
to the truth of which, we all can bear testimony.
As his burial place, the fresh sod and waving grass,
that canopy his mouldering form, is approached
and moistened with tears of regret for his loss
and reverence for his memory, may his example
be imitated.
The imitation of so laudable an exemplar, if it
lead to no other result, will lead to the best and
nohlest of all results, the consolation of having
complied with the 'requisitions of duty, of having
lived with an eye to that goal, for which the ruler
of Destiny intended that they should strive, who
have been created in his image.
The subject of my remarks stands not in need
of chisseled marble,
Storied urn, or animated bust."
The undying remembrance of his kindness, virtue
and benevolence, ratified by the hearts signet, and
transmitted to future ages as a rich and enduring
legacy, will constitute the greatest monument you
can erect in his commemoration.

Kittaning, June 23. 18-16
Pursuant to an act ol congress of the 13th May,
18-15 authorizing the President of the United
States, to receive the services of Fifty Thousand
Volunteers to carry on successfully, the existing
war with the Government of Mexico, the Com
mander in Chief of the military forces of the State
of Pennsylvania, has received a requisition from
the President of the United States, to cause to be
enrolled and held in readiness, six regiments to be
mustered into the active service of Pennsylvania.
It is therefore to be hoped that the the °dicers
and citizen soldiers of the 15th Division, Pennsyl
vania Militia, will render prompt and vigilent obe
diance to the orders issued by the commander in
chief of Pennsylvania, in raising the requisite num
mber of Volunteers for the 15th Division, and em
ulate the patriotism of their fellow-citizens, who
so gallantly mustered in de:*ence of their country,
and her institutions during the "late war."
By Command of Major General
ROBERT ORR.
PHILIP TEMPLETON, Aid-de-Camp.
oThe editors of newspapers in Allegheny, In
diana Jefferson and Clarion counties, conipokng
this Division, µ•ill pleaee intert the above.
RERUBLIC OF THE RlO GRANDE
The New Orleans Tropic has received two num
bers of the Republic of Me Rio Grande, a paper just
started at Matamoras; The name fully implies
the intentions of the paper and the cause it in
tends to advocate. It is edited by General H. Mc-
Leod, late of Texas. The first number contains
an address "To the People of Tamaulipas, New
Leon, Coahiula, and Chihuahua," the Departments
of Mexico proposed to be erected into the'Repub
lic of the Rio Grande. The address is well written,
and calculated to have a great effect upon the peo
p!e to whom it is addressed. After speaking of a
presumed interference of the British government
in Alesican affairs, and of the treatment received
by British colonists, the address has the following
language:
But if Mexico, the nearest neighbor of the
American Ikepublii; falling behind the spirit of
the age, despairS of success in her attempt at self
government, and yields herteliti willing prey to
the anar/hists, who iin.:texhauspil and then would
sell her to the Court of St. James ' it becomes the
first duty of the United States lo her institutions
and th'e cause of human freedom, to guarantee her
territory against the encroachments of monarchy.
Had Mexico forced this war on England as she:
has on the United States, that tapacious pOwcr
would have asked no Getter excuse for conquering
the whole country as,she did India, and coverting
it into a British Colony, to pay the expenses of the
war.
With the United States it is different. She can
make no addition to her population but by. the vol
untary act of citizenship. Knowing her own rights,
and guarding them jealously from all infringruent,
she never invades the just rights of others. Civil
liberty is the birth right of the American—he im
bibes it in infancy—he inhales it in manhood—ac
customed to regard himself as a unit of the politi
cal commonwealth, iris trifling with bis understan
ding and an insult to hiS feelings, to tell him he ,is
a freeman. Ile knows it. Nature implants, edu
cation cultivates, and association with his fellow
freemen daily exemplifies it. This being the char
acter and the requisites of the American citizen, it
is a contradiction to suppose that he is to be ac
quired by conquest, 'Or transferred as the'spoil of
war. Not the Government of the United Stales
seeks no conquest over a reluctant people but she
does demad a congenial neighbor upon her borders
—one who will sympathise with the genius of her
institutions, and the liberty.. of her laws.. If she
cannot obtain a republiCan neighbor, who; vvill,re
ciprocate kind offices and beneficial:dews, itvill
become the paramount duty of the United States,
to seek a boundary which she can readily fortify
and defend ag ainst the perpetual bickerings of an
uncongenial Government. -
The opposite banks of a stream like the
Rio Bravo; dividing a fertile valley, is the worst
possible boundary between nations, unless there is
affinity of institutions and of laws,; among the in
habitants. - The United States of America will
never recede in the face of Monarchy; they must
greet a kindred Republic across the Rio Grande,
or advance and entrench themselves upon the rag
ged steeps and defiles of the Sirra Madre. The
means which our Congress has just voted, of fifty
thousand men and ten millions of dollars, enable
the President to dictate the terms of peace in your
Capitol, and now it rests with yourselves, people
of Northern Mexico,'to assume an attitude which
will place you fifty years in advance of your pres
ent position or hurl you back among the ananehical
fragments of the interior of Mexico, to subside and
rot, perhaps under the stagnant calm of despot
ism or perhaps to expire in a feeble and attented
antagonism to principles which must ultimately
govern the world.
Amusing Scene in Matamora3.—The high price
of cotton goods in Matamoras, dwino . '
to the Mex
ican Tariff is well known. Several enterprising
"yankees," since Gen. Taylor has taken possession
of the city, have "moved in," opened stores and are
' selling goods on "cheap principles," about one-third
of the usual Mexican prices, bui double the usual
American prices. It is an amusing scene to wit
ness the crowd around these stores, composed of
the mixed people of the city. Finely dressed wo
men, rancheros, naked Indians and negroes, all ea
ger to purchase goods, and jabbering, good, bad
and indifferent Spanish, with a rapidity tr,aly appal
ling to a phlegmatic Anglo-American.
In the meantime, the "old established merchants"
are looking upon their neglected stocks - with sor
row and astonishment, although they have got
the greater part of 'them by defrauding the reve
nue,, they have cost 'more in bribes to the custom
house officers and 'other Mexican functionaries
than the yankee's charging prices. This species
of warfare is rapidly converting the pople over to
American notions, and they have only to, fully
learn that they can have cheap goods; and the en
joyment of life and liberty, to abandon their
Government as rapidly as they have their high
priced stores.—N. 0. Tropic.
