OrgNtvo' There ie news enough in town this
evening i but I will endeavor tit condense It.
Tift, that which concern the country. Letters
have been received here, opting agsin tha pros
pects of peace, and representing (do people In
and about Mexico In fevo of it.
Pene y Pena Is doubtless in favor o( peace

surrender the blood stained tattle fields, momi
menti of our national (lory. In order Ihat the
hones nf our breve soldiers rosy be desecrated by
a dastardly foe Above nil tbinfa, ahall we
withdiawfrom Mexico, without her paying the
expnse of .thin war, and witbout a guaranty of
peace in future?. r , ..,
The President, in hit last message to Congress,
lec lured expressly that this war was waged for
the purpose, of obtaining full indemnity for our
outraged citizens, and that he should bold Mexi
co repnnibte for the expenses of the war. Mr.
Buchanan, in his report said the same thing. Mr.
Yin Buren in his last letter to th Wilkesbarre
Farmer, re-echoed the same sentiments, and to
r.-eed from this ground would be admitting to
Mexico Sn.i to the world that th war, which we
have been waging agsinat Mexico, Is not a just
war, and waa not provoked and commenced by
Mevien ' '
Mr. Van Rnren may now be In doubt about the
origin of this war, but by referring to bis Mes
sage in 1937, accompanied by tha report nf bia
then Secretary or Statt, Mr. Forsyth, he will
rind lh causes enumerated, which even then, in
his opinion, as in the opinion of General Jackson
before him, justified war against tbat most faith
less of all nation and governmenta. We must,
now that Mexico is prostrate, carry out thes
views n our great statesmen in and out of pow
er.,'and there ia no doubt in my mind, that they
will be carried nut, should a treaty of peace be
onrlnded Mexico must pay tha expenses of
the war, and if she have no money, she must pay
in) territory, which, moreover, baa this advan
tage that it diminishes the power of Mexico to
do mischief, or to recommence th war under
im new adventurer, who, after the withdrawal
of our troops, may chance to seix upon th reins
of government.
For this purpose we must fix upon a military
frontier, and keep possession, for a time at least,
ot some of the most important fortified places
which are considered the keys to br wraith and
piwer. The Cast) of San Juan d'Clloa ought
never to be surrendered. That Gibralter of the
Mexican Gull, which open th road to her capi
tal, and commands th navigation of that aea,
ought to permanently remain in our power
England, in making a treaty of peace with Chi
na, knew very well, the rebellious mob of Can-
ion, and insisted on Hong Kong ae a British na
vui elation, from which readily to punish any
attempt of insurrection or depredation on her
comm'-rce. She ia now bitterly aorry not to
luve, in addition, insisted on th surrender of
the Chuaan Inlands, which command the harbor
and canal tbat leads to Pekin, and ten chance to
one she lull hav it before another . decennium
passes over our brads.
To make sure nf the trade of th North Sea
an I to command that trade in time of war, she
i now fortyfying Helgoland at the moutb of th
Kibe; th Ionian Is'anit and Malta commend
the Dardanelles, Gibraltar tbe whole Mediter
ranean. It is by such mesne tbst she preserves
tha European equilibrium, that it peace, tnd pre
vent ber flag from being insulted.
The Castle of San Juan is of no value to the
Mexicans. Any maritime nation, at war with
her, now that w have shown lb manner in
which it ia to be done, may eeite upon it, and
she may surrender it by treaty to a European
power, to prevent th United Stat from hold
ing it, as the French sold Louisisna to the United
btates, wben tbey e spec ted that, in the war with
England, it would be captured by tbe British.
The Cattle of San Juan d'Ulloa ia of vital im
portance to us, and of tie us whatever to Mexico,
encept that it may enable her again to assum a
warlike attitude, and fore ua to fight our battle
over again.
We art now ia prssiofl nf the beat part of
Mexico. We Mis 11 soon command her mines
and bur commercial roaouree. Hit has neither

who is acquainted with nor history, must have
noticed with admiration the spirit and energy
with which we have repeitedlv defeated, in s
peaceful manner, the mont unjust measures of
the British. When the British threatened to
hang up some )f our officer, Washington im
mediately placed under arrest severs! British
officers, anil threatened retaliation. A(fain, in
the war of If 12.' when the Brttieh seized upon
some of our nv-n and threatened to shoot them,
because they were British born subjects, our go
vernment retaliated, and aved the men, by
threatening to execute a double number of Uri
tii-h prisoners. These are military instances of
military retaliation; we have now to record
what may be considered a curiosity to the his
tory of nations: namely, a civil and commer
cial retaliation. The situation of affsira in re
lation In the mails and the pua'age between the
United Slates and the British Government, has
been so often adverted In and explained by im,
that it is unnecessary here to repeal all the his

Fraley, besides being a gentleman of acknewl

The following is from a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger :
PoTTSvn.Lt, Nov. 8, 1847.
Tna RtMovAt, or ma Scat or JcsTtct. The
commissioner appointed by law to cbnoss a site
for the public buildings, hsve spent two dsys in
preliminsry examination, and then adjourned for
two weeks, to givs time for deliberation. Great
excitement pievaila. snd most unreasonable haste
is urged upon th commissioners, who were ex
pected to declJ upon a locality at one.
Th possible choice is confined to at most
three or four placet, of which Market street is
one; though the'eommissionets msy rule it out,
from s proper sense of resilience, to ths attempt
to bist their free judgmei t
The Orrbsrd" ia mother piers in view. Ths
public buildings would show well here, snd ths
space ia not contracted,
A piers of ground is slso offered at tbe lower
end of Centre street, now occupied with rude
frame houses, nesrly opposite the new Hotel,
(Ibe Americsn House ) This would alao make
a commanding aituation and svsry wsy conveni
ent. Any on of these pieces would do. If it bs
desirable that tbe county prison should bs essy
of acceaa to lbs court bouss, ths latter two offer
appropriate ground in the rear.
It begins, however, to be feared tbat tbe "down
owners" may be driven, by ths rourss of ths
up towners" to withdrsw thsir subscriptions, if
the commissioners should yield to the attempted
mpressment, instead of faithfully obeying ihs
promptings of their own judgment, If such a
split should result, it would not astonish ua if ths
seat of juatics should remsin at Orwigsburg.

be gets for his services ths price 'of humsn

that could in the least degree weaken this im

. Da. 8wib Dear Sir : Having ued your
Compound 8rup of Wild Cherry, extensively in
mv practice, I waa requested by your agnt. Dr.
Cru rher, to express mv opinion in writing, of ita
prperlie ss a remeJid agent. I most cheerfully
comp'y.aal feei by so doing, I will disrhsrge a
debt I oe the community at le ge, and physicims
in par icular. : As muth as I de esl quack reme
dies snd pslent nostrums. I w i induceil fr m a
failure of the most potent eipeclorsn s. recommen
ded in our materia medrcaa in i w ce-ee of Dii
eased lungs, to try yoni preparation of Prunua
Virginia or Wild Cherry. It is euffic ent lo ay
that I was so much pleased with the result of
that and subsequent trials that I now pre-r he it in
preference to all other remedies where an eiprrto
rant is indb-Atrd. In the much dreaded Pneumo.
nia or Disesse of the Lungs, in th sls-ming form
in which H appeara in Kentucky, 1 regard it aa an
invaluable remedy in the trestment of that disease.
To all who know me 1 hsve said enough, hut a
thia my be seen by persons out nf the vicinity of
Frankfort, 1 will briefly add, that I ha been en
gaged in sn active praciiee of my profession for 13
year, and am a regular graduate of Traneylvani,
and this i the first patent medicine I ever thought
enough of to express sn opmi.Hi in writing.
