E7" IUniit Clay' Srsic-H We publish, in
another column, the resolution submitted by
Mr. Clay, and which formed the text of hi re
cent tpeech at Lexington. The idea of abandon
ing all the territory we have conquered from
Mexico, it, we premme, new and unexpected to
both hia political friend and enemies. There
are, we think, but few who wouliLJie willing,
after all our fighting, to iirrend3G?alifomia.
Wa are not in favor of war for ronquettof terri
tory, especially slave territory, but we ahould
regret, after all our brilliant victories over an ob
stinate and treat heroin foe, to see every advan
tage ao dearly bought, abandoned to the enemy.
If Vtr. Clay enteitaint such sentiments, he hat a
right to expiest them, but he will find thst they
are not tbe popular sentiments of the nation. We
can hardly presume from thia, that Mr. Clay
will be a candidate tor the Presidency.

. ' neaolatlons,
Submitted by the Hnnnrahlt Henry Cluy, at the
Pubie Meeting held in Lexington, Kentucky,
yovember 13. 1847.
1st Resolved, A th opinion of this meeting,
that th primary cus of th pretent unhappy
war cxitting between th United State of A-
merlca and th United State of the Republic of
Mexico, wa the AfrnrxAlion or Tkxa to the
former, and the immediate occaaion of hostilities
between th two Republic, a rot out of th nr.
derof the Pretident of the United State, forth
removal of the army under the command of Gen.
Taylor, from it potition at Corput Chritti, a
point oppotitc to Matamoro, on tb eatt bank
of the Rio Bravo, within tbe territory claimed
by botb republict, but then under tb jurisdic
tion of Mexico, and inhabited by it citizen
that th order of the Pretident for th removal
of tha army to that point, wa improvident and
unconstitutional, it being without the concur-
eticeof Congreta, or any consultation with it,
although it wgt in tettion : but that Congrett,
having by tubtequent acta recognized th war
thut brought into exittence without it previou
authority or content, the prosecution ef it be
came thereby national.
2d Resolved, That in the absence of any for
mal and public declaration by Congress of the
objects for whieh the war ought to b proaecuted,
the Pretident of the United States aa Chief Ma
gistrat. and a Commander in Chief of the army
and navy of tbe United State, i left to the gui
dance of hi own judgment, to prosecute to such
pur toses anil object a b may deem the honor
and interests of the nation to require.
3d. Reaolvcd, That by the Constitution of the
United States, Congret being invested with
J powertto declare war and grant letter of marque
anil repntal, to make rnlee concerning rapturea
on land and water, to raiae and aupport armies,
to provide and maintain a navy, and to make
rulea for the government ef tbe hind and naval
forcea, haa th fullest complete war-making pow
er of the United State, and ao possessing it haa
right to determine upon the motives, cauaea
and objecta of war, when once commenced, or at
any time during tbe progresa of its existence. ,
4th Resolved, A the further opinion of th
meeting, that it is tbe duty of Congress to .de
clare, by some authentic act, for what purpoae
and object the ex-sting war ought to be further
prosecuted ; that it ia the duty of the Pretident,
in his official conduct, to conform to such a de
clatation of Congress, and il, after such declara
tion, the President should decline or refuse to
endeavor, by all the means, civil, diplomatic and
military, in hi power, to execute the announced
will of Congress, and in defiance of its authority
ahould continue to proaecute the war to the pur
poses and object other than those declared by
that body, it would become the right and duty of
Congress to adopt the most efficacious measure
to arrest further progress of th war, taking care
to make ample provisions for tbe honor, the safe
ty and aecurity of our armie in Mexico in every
rontiogency, and if Mexico should declin or re
fute to conclude treaty with u, ctipulating for
th purpose and object o declared by Congret,
it would b th duty of tb government to pro
tecut the war with the utmott vigilance, until
they were attained by a treaty of peace.
5th. Retolved, That we view with teriout a-
term, and ar utterly oppoted to any purpoi of
annexation of Mexico to the United State, In any
mode, especially by conquett that we believe
the two nationa could not be happily governed
by one common authority, owing to their great
difference of race, law, language and religion,
and tb vatt extent of their respect it territories
and large amount ef their retpective population
that turn a onion againtt the current of the
exasperated Mexican people, could only be ef
fected and preterved by large atanding armie,
tbe constant application of military fore, in eth
er word, by deapotic wy cterciaed over the
Mexican people in tbe firtt instance, but which
there would be justcsus to apprahend it might
in process of time b extended over th whole
people of tbe United State that w deprecate,
therefore, such a union a wholly incompatible
with tbe geniu of our government, and with the
character of our fre and liberal institution, and
w anxiously bop that each nation may be left
in th undisturbed possession of it own labors.
language, cherished religion and territory, to
punas it own happinett according to what it
may deem best for itself.
Ctb Resolved, That considering tbe series of
splendid and brilliant vietori achieved by our
brav mie and their gallant commander du
ring th wr with Mexico, oaatUndvd by a in
gl rvere, th United Stat, without any dan
ger of thoir honor suffering the lightt tarniah,
ran practice the virtu of moderation and mag.
nanimity toward tbtir discomfited foe; wbav
no detir for tb ditmtmberment of tb Republic
ef Mexico, but only th Just and proper fixation
of th limit of Tcxaa.
7tb. Rtolvd, That we do positively and em
phatically disclaim and disavow any wish ord
ire CD cur fart to acquire any origa territory
whatever, for th purpose of props'gat ing ala very, '
or oHMrodnelng alvry from th United State
into rich foreign territory. ' -
8th. Resolved, That we invite bur fellow citi
In0lth United State, who ar anxiou for
th restoration of th btetsingt of pesce, or if
the existing war shall continue to ba prosecuted,
detiroo that it purposes and object thai) be de
fined and known, who are anxiou to avert pre
tent and further peril and danger with which it
may b fraught, and who ar alto inxion to pro
duce contentment and satisfaction at home, and
to elevate the national character abroad, to at-
embl together in their retpective rnmmuni-
tie, and to xpr thoir viw, feeling and o
pinion.
...i Tho r.H.r. beo.d.
We bav long ben of tb opinion that the fail
ure in Great Biitaia and on th Continent ter
rible a thay hav been would not seriously af
fect the busiuess interett of tbi country. In
copying the following paragraph from the New
York correspondence ef th Washington Union,
wt are pleated toobterve that the prediction! to
frequently made by the Bulletin, are in a mea
aure verified by tb unquettionable authority
quoted :
"It it underttood in Wall ttreat that both Mr
Baring and Mr Horaley Palmer ttated it as their
opinion to a friend who came a pattengvr by the
Washington, that none of the recent failures, nor
indeed any likely to take place,' would serioutly
affect this country."
It wa feared by many that our merchants
would b heavy loser by the great revulsions in
England, in consequence of the unprecedentedly
large shipments of breadstuff's to Europe during
the past aeaaon ; but it should be born in mind
that the bulk of those shipments was made and
paid for before the 1st of August last. Tbe ship
ment of hreadstnffs since that time, have been,
comparatively speaking, very small; and if any
loss has been sustained on them, the loss has not
been Urge enough to exercise the slightest influ
ence on tbe business operations of the country.

Titc Lli'EN? Law The Pittsburg Gazette
contains the opinion of the Supreme Court upon
the lite law authorizing certain counties to de
cide by ballot whether vinoua tpiritt shall be
told in laid conntiet.. The majority Gibton.
C. J., Rodgert, J , and Bell decide it to be un
conttitutional. Burntide, J., and Coulter, J.,
dittent. The Court ground their decition upon
th potition that the Legitlature car.nnt delegate
legislative power to th people ; that a minority
of the peopl bav not agreed to be governed by
tb majority in any other manner than that poin
ted out by the constitution of the State of which
they are members; and that the law is unequal
and not universal over the Commonwealth. Thus
one county msy totally restrain the sale of liquors
by vote, whilst in an adjoining county the old
license law ia the only restriction. The majori
ty opinion was delivered by Judge Bell the mi
nority by Judge Coulter. The report occupies
nine columns of th G.izette.
Th Licxnsc Qi'f.stion Mkmii.;. A public
meeting hss been held in Pitttburg since the de
cision ofthe Supreme Court, declaring th late
anti-license lw to be unconstitutional, Rev. Dr.
Campbell urged an appeal to the Legislature to
pass a law prohibiting tbe sale of ardent spirits
in Alleghany county. It waa argued by him and
Mr. Karns that the eounty had expressed an opin
ion favorable to the proposed temperance reform
and that the public sentiment ofthe county wat
againat tbe granting of licenses, or in favor of
prohibitory law, or even a law applicable to the
county of Alleghany. Mr. Elder, ofthe Temper
ance Banntr, argued againtt th decition ofthe
Supreme Court, and againtt reliance upon moral
uaaion alone. A committee of four gentlemen
wa appointed to report at a future meeting a to
th bstt method ol meeting "tb critit."
