1 arms, the necessary precautionary nlsa-
sures must be taken bv you. This is the
view of the President /"
| This is the ostensible ground taken
by the Executive. 1t will be for the
common sense of every man to decide
for himself, now that Gen. GAINES has
actually advanced as far as Naeogdo-
ches, whether "the Indians in Texas"
haze "threatened the frontier" and
whether the fact has occurred of bo-
dies Of savages (from Texas approach-
ing our frontier in arm s." Every one
knows that no such thing has happen

GAINES, about the first of July had no

Meanwhile, let us SEQ how the matter
strikes those nearer than we are to the
premises.
eff it be true" says the Louisiana
Advertiser, that General GAINES has
crossed the Sabine and taken position
at Nacogdoches, 1t may not be forbid
den to snrmise that he has secret or

at this j4acturs. II the appearance
Of the American Army on the distant
border of the scene OF action between
the Mexican and Texan forces should
have an evil influence on the Mexi-
cans, disheartening and lhwarting them
in the approaching campaign, and Civ
ing the aid of our countenance to the
Texans, zoe shall surely not escape the
censurs of all men soh0 judge of ma,

pride and honor hitherto TO maintain.

sequences as resulting from this step to

Poverty is blessing, an invaluable
and yet little valued blessing. We DO
not mean to be understood that an ab.
solute destitution Of the necessaries OF
life ID desirable, but that the man who
is Obliged by necessity to earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow, and who can
by his own labor gain the nscessaries
and comforts of life for himself aud
family = without over exertion-is the
truly happy man. Men were obvi-
ously made to work, aud no man can
be truly happy who does not in some
way make himself useful by the exer-
lion of the body or mind given him by
a kind Creator.-Universal experience
testifies to this fact. Even the wisest of
men said-"Better is the poor, being
sound in constitution, than rich man
that is afflicted in his body. Health and
good estate Of body are above all gold I;
there are no riches above a SOUND boz
dy, and no joy above the JOY Of the
heart."-SaHsbury Courier.

fence Mr. Buchanan concluded MS pro-
trac,ed remarks N favor of this resolution.
He made one admission which may be con-
sdered of importance. He said. that there
was every prospect that through the &C
cep,cd meditation Of the British govern
ment, our difficulties with France would be
amicabv adjusted. He still urged the pro-
pte,v ofadop'ing measures of defence, and
of repairing and extending the fertilization
of the country.
Mr. Crjttcnden Of Kentucky obtained the
floor next to Mr. Buchanan, and spoke for
nearly two hours without notes to crow

how he would acquit himself. and whether
he would come up to the high estimation
