TExAs.-The present Peaceable aspect of affairs
between this country and Mexico seems likely to
meet with an interruption long. Colonel Bee,
who was sent to Mexico, rs the Minister from Texas
has not been received by the Mexican Government.
The General Guadaloupe Victoria, commanding at
Vera Cruz, treated COL Bee with great courtesy
til the altmatum sf the Mexican Government was
known, when he took passage in the La Gloire fri
gate for Havana. Thus ends the last attempt that
will probably be made by the independent Govern
ment of Texas TO obtain bond Of peace and friend
ship with Mexico; and thus, in all probability COM
mences the first scene of rupture that may produce
war Of some four or five years standing; and which
must surely the rising of the morrows sum- ter

men OF every free nation who will enlist under the sim

The PIRATE WILLHELMs. The penny -a-liners
connected with the Courier x Enquirer Yesterday
prspagated vainous libel re citing this poor
wretch, who Is TO be executed tomorrow. They say
that he has confessed TO the commission Of crimes
innumerablc, and that he has admitted having been
engaged in murders and piracics from the time he
was fourteen years Of age. The writer Of this had
an interview with Willhclms short time since, in
presence of one Of the Marshas Of the U. s., when
he in the most emphatic manner denied having COM
mted any other crimes, and said that, with respect
to the murder Of Captain Turlcy and the piracy on
board the Braganza, he compelled TO the course
he took, from the fear that Adams and the others
would have him thrown overheard. IL any libel
exceeds another in atrociy ~ that which seeks to
backen the character of one who is about 90 me ct
his death al the hands Of the law. Public opinion
will always deem such man bad enough, and IL is
an act OF especial turpitude to throw additional
odum on him, raise greater prejudice against
him than he has to bear, spder saeh appalling cir.
cumstanees.

10 and 2, ON Bedloe's Island. The Morning Herald

ALL THE DEcEHcY" PAaTY.-That the organs
OF the Wing party in this city have not long since
disgusted every decent man in the community, has
not been for lack Of material to effect that object
The most scandalous charges have been made, reck-
iessly, against many Of our most eminent men, Of
pare and rreproachabe character, by the large par
~ hacks Of Wall street. and echoed by the small fry
who follow in their wake tenders, or act as jack
alls to the party. Abusive epithets have been
heaped upon public men, without rhyme or reason
and the most unbushing falsehoods have been en-
ployed to assal their character that could be collect
cd together,
Only the day before yesterday the "Whig" gave
scandalous instance of the system in its abuse Of
Mr. Van Ness, formerly our Minister to Spain He
is there charged with having led scandalous and
dssolute life, as man Of Incorporate habits FREE
quenter Of the lowest bells Of Madrid, and with liv-
ing at this time in open violation Of the common de-
cencies of society with retaining ga dark-eyed
olive checked beauty" in questionable capacity,
about his person And this is said of Mr.. Van Ness,
who is highly respectable member of a highly re-
spectacle family-who has two lovely ami accom-
plished daughters married into the highest circles
In this city and in England and who has himself
ried amiabe Spanish lady of fortune, the dark
eyed olive-ehecked beauty" in question.
But this is only part and parcel of the gross system
pursued by the paltry persons who joined in unholy
compact, and started the "Whig," and placed men
OF straw to conduct it, with the determination to at
tack the character Of every respectable member Of
the community whose political creed squared not
with theirs. 1t is too shameful TO be supported
We have the Of all these scoandrels and spec.
uators who thus "stab worthy men i the dark" and
will expose the whole of them Ole OF these fine

been guided, the sister to whom sht
has dared TO impart every embryo Of

by the confidence of rcqaitcd love, she
bids fond grateful adieu to the life
that is past, and turns with excited

Observation-Disclosures

We copy the following paragraphs from
the Cincinnati Gazette, one Of the Oldest
and most Influential Wing papers in thl
West. They disclose some facts WORTH
Of recollection. The Gazette conten Is
that Atherton's resolutions were concoct-
ed and passed to sustain the positions pre-
viously taken by the .Presiden. againCt
farlticism, and in favor of the institutions
Of tho SDuth. The editor lorgets the ex-
citement which was felt on tho subject,
the previous agitation Of the Abolition
question by the Wings in Congress-; their
interference and manifestation of power
in the elections of New York and other
States; the mobs anJthe lynchings in va
rious quarters, and the avowed determine
ton Of the incendiaries to control the
no ninaiion ofthe Opposition candidate
for President, dictate to Congress, and
.extripate slavery, 1t was after this de-
Ivelopment Of their policy and determine

scenes which would have driven the

effected q virtual dissolution Of the Union.

REMEMBER


Democratic freenieh would do well I,
remember certain black spots in the bis
tory Of the federalism Of the hast few
years.
A whig ASSASSIN fired on the late Pre-
sident Of the United States. 1t was sale
Of linn that he was demented. The fac,
probably so, but from the language which
escaped his lips, il appeared that there
was "method in bis Madness" and that he
had imbibed the spirit Of the Panic which
then wildly ragged. 1t was in 1884. He
talked in broken sentences Of the tyran,
at the Capitol, and Goths to be driven oul
He waB panic struck!
The same year, young Perry, demo.
crat of the CITY of Philadelphia, was shot
at thu close Of the polls, by bank ruffian,
The same year an attempt was made "a
render this Government subseryient "a
BiddIe's bank. It Is now clearly proved,
that the accumulated distrasses Of that
gloomy period, were wholly caused BY the
Bank Of the United States, and 80 villain.
Gus was the scheme. it is matter oc sur
prise that the guilty Authors have so long
escaped condign punishment. Had such
iniquity been praetised 10 The. DAYS Of re-
publican Rome, the public robbers would
have been dragged through the streets OF
the eternal city, and dashed naked and
trembling from the Tarpian sack. BIT
the people Of America are proverbial for
their forbearance. They slow 10 anger.
Yet lot the insoent bankers and brawling
demagogues beware Of them.
A year since, and bank boaght scoun-
drel hurried to Washington with the fires
Of Hell in his heart, in scent of blood
But his coward soul failed at the very cri-
sis, ano he thought he would only shatter
an arm! He claimed 10 be a gentleman,
and Jonathan Cilley had his doubts as 10

ed, and the tongue ond pen of federalism
was employed to screen the authors of the
foul deed.
There was one crld.blooded villain en-
gagged in the horrible conspiracy agains,
the life OF a fellow being, whose only
crime consisted in his disgust of coward
slave, whose memcry shall rot. Henry A.
Wi3s r. that man! The ocean will not
wash, his hands clean from the stain Of
blood. We look upon him as more guilty
than the principal in the conspiracy. We.
regard his character with the same abhor-
renee that we would that of murderer
who had escaped from justice. And vet
fsis Vase is the leader of the federal par
ty in the House Of Representatives; nav,
he Is on an important committee Of Con-
gress. and was voted fer by every whig in
that body. BIT they shrunk from the pipa
core vote, aud 10Th to rpeak bis foul name,
resor;ed to The secret ballot He was cleo
ted, and joined to whiggsry by the CO.
ment Of blood, his name is their name. -
His is the bloody hand with which they
get their living out of the fire--or, by the
most desperate means.
Remember! How can we ever forget
the designs of the Ritner faction TO sub
vert the government of Of Pennsylvania,
and bring into disrepute the institutions
Of free people. Had whiggerv prevailed
in that Stale, the experiment of selfgov-
ernment would have ensued. And vet
tho federal conspirators, applauded by the
wings of Connecticut, drove the foul work
With reckless fury, in perfect scorf ofalI
government. The Ritner gang set out to
have blood! Else why their Ed.k-shot
and ball cartridges? They were for war
The people had prevailed at the ballot
boxes--but whiggery would not give up,
and the buck shot were intended to settle
the point in dispute. What an abandoned
party! There are many other things to
be remembered, bu. this TO begin With
Fresmen of Connecticu,I the federalists
of this State openly coun,enanced the
Ritner conspiracy, and in fact, us party,
are no better than their guilty neighbors.
Heaven grant that you may awaken TO a
Just sense Of the utter recklessness and
baseness of the federal party, nefore it is
too late. Freemen, remember!

| Mr.. Hammond's views to orr readers, wa
not TO enter into defence Of the resIu
tions Of Mr.. Artherton, or Of the ayowe
opinions ofthe President. Both NAV b,
pronounced correct, as they are assaile,

the Northumberland did not feel that he
could longer refrain from denouncino
their leaders as enemies to the Unin,
and Mr.. Clay is very good authority
against The assumptions of the Gazette
on this point.
Rnt we suppose Mr.. Clay did not know
that the great body Of Abolitionists arc
Wings. Thi. fact is repeated in the ex.
tract which follows from the Cincinna;i
Gazette; and it admits that the Wings
must be defeated in Vermont, Maine Mas.
sachnsetts, New York, PENNSYLVANIA, and
Ohio. if they venture to separate from
their Abolition brethren. The Gazette
uses this emphatic lang lage: '.Driva from
the Wing ranks the AboIitonists Of Yer
mont, Maine, Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, and Ohm, and what hope
could there bo of a Whig vote for Pres j.
dent in these Statesf'' We know there
would be none. We have 80 stated again
and again, and the truth oil the assertion
has been denied in the Opposition papers.
Now we have the admission of one of the
prominent organs Of the party that its
strength will be annihilated the moment
it may dare to cast Off the Aholiti9ni Il.
Bat, what can Mr. Hammond mean bv
telling his Whig brethren, at this juno
tnre, that death is their portion, unless
thev retain their Abolition brethren in
their ranks? Is he striving TO prevent the
nlmination Of Mr.. Clay as the candidate
Of the party for President! Dies he in
tend to show that Gen. Harrison is tn.
only man IN whose support the Abolition

Why is it a fact, that the tone ofmor-
aiity in the high places Of society are
so lax and complacent, but for want Of
the independent and indignant rebuke
of society," There is reproach enough
poured upon the drunkenness, debauch-
cry and dishonesty Of the poor man.
The good people who go to him can
speak plainly -ay, very plainly Of his
evil ways. WHY'S it then that fash
ionahlc vice is able 10 hold up its head,
and sometimes to occupy the front
ranks in society! tits because respec-
table person, Of hesitating and com
promising virtue, keep it in counten-
fance. II Is because timid woman
stretches out her hand to the man whom
she knows to be the deadest enemy OF
morality and Of her sex, while she turns
n cold-eyc upon the victim he has rain
ed. ltis because there Is nobody to
spc, * plainly in cases Ike these. And
do you think that, society is ever the
rcgenerated or purified under the in
fluence Of these unjust and pusillani-
nous compromised / tell you never.
So long as vice is suffered TO be fash
ionable and respectable--so long as
men are held to condemn it only when
il is in rage, there viii never be any
radical improvement. You may null
tiply Temperance Societies and Moral
Reform Societies; you may pile up sta
tute books Of laws against gambling
and dishonesty; but so long asthe timid
homagcs of the fair and honored, are
paid to splendid impunity, it will be all
in vain.--So long will it be felt that
the voice Of the world is not against
