.So large: and2enthu's iasiic% a Meeting, judging
from alineceitids, seldtim if ever asseinided in
the " V ii - Wipiim.' ph6 Globe sayi" never
have wewitneSsed.witilu the walls of Old Tam
many 'a more numerml . assemblage 'than that
which convened on Sattnday - evening last. A
mong the thousands: - who assembled there, but
one feeling prevailed ; pad that was an enthu
aiastieldetermination ti sustain the Adminht
tration in the prosecution of the war until an
bortoratlepeaCe is obtairiteC This meeting will
mouse joy and gladliesi throughout the Union.
It was - one of the inolt harmonious political
nssemblages we ever stw. ' Our Whig oppo
nents confidently relieg !tj ol! disturbance.—
The perfect harmonya :d.cordiality that exist
edt throughout the end e.proceedings astonish
ed then, as well as Soliie few in our own party,
who have preerred to have had a division a
mong Democrats on this important oecasion."
The principal "orat,fds were Gen. Samuel
Houston, Senator Fo4e . , of Miss., and . Mr.
Brqwn, formerly a me+er 'of Congress from
one'i:of the . Westerti S,es, each Of whom was
exceedingly eloquent, la4gumentatire, - and eon
vineing. •

Sketches of the remirk's of Gen. Houston, in
relation to the Texas boundary are given in
another place, and willfie:read with deep inter
est, aiid create energelie
. applause. Resolu
tions were passed condOnnatory of the Lexing
ton platform and, throWlng the responsibility of
the war on Mexico, and ,also guaranteeing the
'support of the New I" . rk Democracy to the
Government until a penie, giving us " indem
nity and' security," shall have been attain
ed. They were reCeiqd with rapturous ap
plause.
A Correspondent hating kindly furnished us
with a detailed account of the Meeting, which
may be found in another - column, a further re
port from us is entirclyouperfluous.
Canal Cornmissloner:
We observe that thei names:of quite a num
ber of gentlemen, all d4iabtles.s eminently 'wor
thy, have bpen nientioed by the press in va
rious parts of the Statti for the office of Canal
Commissioner. This i all very well, and un-
questionably proper, iniasmueli as the Conyen-
lion to put in uominatOn a candidate will as
semble in less than foul. weeks from this time.
While considering this subject, as it becomes
every politician, or editor to do; use have been,
led to inquire wby a candidate ?or that office,
the right kind of a mait can be produced, might
not be selected from the Northern section of
the State ? or why Striquehanna county, which
Las heretofore been diffident of her claims of
this character, may not be honored with such
a selection from her blirderi ? And the more
we hare reflected npotf, the subject, the more
confirmed have our im(tressions become that no
good reason exists' whY it may not. On the
contrary many consi4ations appear in its fa
vor. If there were node other, the simple facts
that Susquehanna Colinty is one of the strong
-holds of the Democracy of the State—that it
is a county to which 'Our Democratic- friends
may always look with st4ire confidence for the
upholding of our flag, Oven when . it trails in
others; and the State, Orough their recreancy,
goes ovef•to its enemies and plunderers,) and
that it has never beenfionored with the selec
tion of any elective St4te officer from its bor
ders, are enough to espblisli its claims, at least
equally as valid as ot4rs, prbvided it can fur
nish as good and as available a man. This we
are eertin wsean-dc4and Many of them.
The Ruestion here arses whom shall we name
from annuli these we tii i eut entirely Competent
and worthy for that offire ? Ilere We find our-
Selvesin rather an embitirang situation, as it
is assuming most too mush for vos;ito say,in
the absence of any pliblic expression, whom
die Democracy thi4ounty *mild delight to
support.
But bold ! Our en4airassment is 'relieved

SCE:: TING ALARAL—The great War Meet
ing at Tammany Hall seems to have given
Of the iTribune, " particular fits,"-to
use a phrase of perhaps rather more pith than
dignity. , The nextday, he came out with one
of the most bitter, malignant, attacks upon the
meeting:and the GroveHnent that . we ever read.
He is evidently alarm 4, and it requires no ex
traordinary acumen tAidivine the cause. Bach
a voice—which is in fact but the voice of the
people throughout the nation upon this ques-
tion—as weniu.p,fron4he countless masses in
and around The Old 'Wigwam, is certainly
enough to terrify any 'Corwin traitor who has
not yet, as John Donkey would have it, " paid
the debt of the Nation And the debt of Nature."
We wonder not that an anti-irar Whig of such
a school should scent alarm , in the distance. _
JUDGE MCLEAN ON; TUE WAn.—Jndge Mc-
Lean has given his viOws cn the war in %epis
tolary form. ; lle says that the war wasimeon
stitutionally commenced by marching our army
into disputed territory in possession of the Mex
icans; and that Congress should put lin end to
the war on just and honorable principles. Ike
is opposed to the issue of any more Treastry
Notes, but fav6rs the authorisation of a loan at
l•
par. •
A cotempdrary has well said : " The letter
of this politi4l judge is an alr.minahle piece of
partisan bitterness. There is an asperity and
ill bilmor in it which evince an arrogant and
self-w fled man: The production is totally un
becoMing the dignified character of a judge of
the highest tribunal in the land. I say so, is
alt that this ambitious judge condescends to. fa
vor the 'people with; and as if to manifest his
entire independence of the administration, and
his faithful adherence to faction, he charaetiriz
et, the war with contemptuous epithets, and
heartily coincides with that miserable craven
band of blue-light politicians, who have
tun
questionably protracted our unhappy differen
ces with Memieo, by lending aid and comfort to
the foe."
Thai judge has shown cleartjr that, how anx
ious soever be ipay really be, he is not a can-
&date fur the Piresicteney.

, was some ffW who felt a diSposition to annoy
the meeting, and which were very properly in
vited by ohe of the speakers,' to be taken out
and treated to a little hard cider. With but
this exceation, the meeting passed - off with
quiet good; order, and was conceded to- be, by
tall present; the most enthusiastic, as well as
one of the)ergest meetings ever held on any
occasion-moo heralded too, by all the newspa
itiers of t 4 city, except , the Tribune and Ex-,
I press., ' They of course, could not sanction the
proceedings of such -,a meeting without violating
i their mandate from Clay, Webster, Corwin &
ICo. ' The ~x press said but little, and I will
'give it thekcredit of publishing the Resolutions
and.Speecims. The Tribune gave vent to a
`most bittei invective, of which 'here is an ex
tract : " '4lle advocates of more butchery and
subjugatiop among us, convened per order at

A VoLOIE oe THEASON —Gen. Pearce, in
Ids specelqat Concord, N. IL, last Wednesday
on the occasion of his public reception, stated
that on entering the national palace of Mexico,
our soldie; discovered a bound
.volume of ex
tracts fronj the different papers' throughout the
United 'S't4tes opposed to the war. These ex
tracts wcrii taken indiscriminately from all the
oppositionlpapers, and were used by the Mex
ican goverment to produce the impression a
mongst th 4 people of that country that the peo
ple and prOs of the Unitell States were oppo
sed to the• War.

occupied the Court several days in reading his
defence, which was principally a refutation of
the evillenee on the part of Gen. Kearney. It
is supposed the trial will result in his acquittal.

It is an overwhelming 4f4diCation of the Gov- 4 ,

sion on the mind of any person whowill read
it unbiassed liyparty influenies, and 'tratninels.'
`We are happy to find the•viOvirsl we; 4ave
pressed upon this question in tiro or ttree ar
ticles, so clearly, ably and triumphantly sus- 1
tamed as is done by the reatakspf Get). Roes
ton ;
. We' should-not -be properly; able to appreci
ate the truth and justice of Our condition, and ,
of the present war; if we did! not revert to the
causes of this war, and the petition in Which wo
were placed, at the time of its commencement,
in relation to the civilized tvoi•ld.. I grhnt you,
fellow-citizens, it is true in t•eferring to those
speeches, of which we hear se much its respect
to . this war, that in part; it has grown up out
of the annexation of Texas. ; But in that an
nexation the best of the barghin was yottrs, and
you ought to be satisfied. I say the best of it
was yours, not so much in the materialiyou got I
—though by the by, that . was not bad ; but in
the extent and-richness of soil, in thejvarietyl
and beauty of climate, and in the variety of
those institutions we posscsied., We load no
thing to learn of these institutions andiprinci
ples in this annexation ; we imbibed them all
with our mother's milk, wit returnedito you,
i chastened, it is true, in the Ochoor of oxperi-
I once, and taught by the bitter lessonslof ad
versity. The great politicians of this dey hie
now
.put themselves in opposition to this war;
and yet they were willing ;.at its c4minenee
mint to embark in it. • They then said! it was
the duty of the President to . fix the boluidary
of the newly acquired country,' and no they
deny that her boundary was that which she
i possessed before the annexation was made.-L
-'lThat boundary, howeter, fellbw-Citizens,iwhich
they now deny to Texas, was hors, and ibelon
' ged to her by right of .conqoest. We
, ained
it not by rebellious force or power. IV nev
er rebelled against Mexico!, but she, - it, was,
I who first violated our constitution, -subverted
our liws, subjected us to the most cruel des
potitan, and drove us, by her injustice,yian
ny, and oppression, to vindicate Our fights,
'which were .the • common rights of trectien.—
The object of Make, in her system of :4,spo
tism and oppression; exercised against 4, was,
lif possible, to sweep us front the soil, tog anni
hilate the whole race of . us, ; awl not to Isuffer
one of the Saxon blood to leave the itußess of
his foot upon the soil which we inhabacil.-=
What did we do? We resisted this Ipres
ision, -we asserted our lawful: righte, we istab
lisbed fur ourselves a . provisional !government,
land we continued on in the tope that a 'letter
Istate of things, a better government, weld Le
created in Wilco; that the other tales
would, like 'ourselves,• assert their rigl: ' • un
der the Constitution, Which had been soante
-Ifully violated. .We continued hoping th' t. the
Mexicans themselves would rally to sum at us
and- redeem the country tram despotisu vio
lence and oppression. We Went on in tl en
joyment of our republican liberty—we entlured
! till our hopes became fainterond fainter.r. But
notwithstanding all this, it Was not until 836,
when Santa Anna marched against us wi b his
!myrinidons, threatening our. destructio and
1 devastating our fields and our country t was
not until the day of the Alamo, when • a),Jrave
I and Spartan band was sacalficed by hi 4 san
-1 guinary hordes—l say, not until then, when,
driven by desperation and oppreSsion, did we
declare the Declaration of rlesau Independ
ence. Then it was we made that declaration.
'We made it in tlic face of ltaveu. We then
pledged our lives, (Ali property, (that, indeed:
was but little,) and our sacred honor, that we
would vindicate our just
.and natural rights
against the despot and oppressor. We did
I this, and after the tyrant lay manacled at our
foot, we liberated' the captive.. It was after
the declaration of Texan Independence ; after
• that the despot was in the military . coirtrol of
the country, when victory : had justified our
cause, and triumph and success had crowned
our Declaration of Independence; it was then
that the tyrant directed the - Order and
_sent, the
mandate to his general, Filasoln; to vacate the
i territory which was now thOndependent ter
• ritory of a nation which had risen up and de
dared its independence. That mandate - Went
the next morning to Filasola; ordering him to
I retire with 'his troops from the soil ot . Texas;
land where did he retire? Where did lie stop i
They did not stop at the Nueces. That was
not the boundary of Texas, they did not
stop at the Rio Grande. That was not the
lboundary. But they marched on in pursuance
! of the aiandate,.to leave Teaxs, and they first
stopped at Monterey, leaving all Texas behind
I them, and leaving it free. , The • government
agreed with Santa Anna afterwards upon the
Rio Ciande as the bontdary! of
.Texas, and no
lquestion ever arose as to. the Nueces being its
'boundary pending the negotiations for annexa-
Ition ; but it is only since this war began that
f this question has been raised by its enemies.
IBut still more... By a law passed in{lB36, it
was promulgated to all . the.civilized would that
the Rio Grande was the boundary- of Texas. '
This boundary was then flefined ant ' strictly
laid out as7beginning at the imouth of-the river
of that name.;. then running a north-west '
I cotirse up the middle ofthe river, from thence
crossing in a line, particularly defined over tfie
Iterritory of the United Stateh„ on to the ocean.
This was then declared; by law to be the boun
dary of Texas. This ws.s nit done in acorner
—it-was not hid under* Inthel; but it was .
I promulgated in the face of all ! the civilized
world. This was in 1836. iThbi was thenre
