These medicines are indebted for their name
TO their manifest and sensible action in purify
ing the springsand channels Of life, and cnduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. aud to the
undoubted fact that nj very early period in
their history they had rescued sufferers from
the very verge Of an untimely grave, after all
the deceptive nostrums of the day, prescribed
by physicians. had utterly failed, in which ca
ses they also permanently secured that uniform
enjoyment Of health, without which life Itself
is but partial blessing. So great indeed had
their efficacy invariably proved. that j. was
scarcely less than miraculous to those who were
unacquainled with the beautifully philusoPhii
cal principles upon whiehthey were eompo6rd-
cd, and upon which they consequently net.

Two arrivals las, evening from Matsmoras, have put
US in possession Of intelligence from the Mexican from.
tier to the 29th ult. ~Itappears thatthe Mexican force
which Invaded Texas, consisted Of 600 horse and
400 foot. We have the p%roclamations and bulletins
of Gen. WoLL, in the Matamoras papers. The learn
ed General has for his model, taken Cesar, and some
Of the revolutionary Generals Of France. In his Off.
cal report Of the fighting near Bexar, he writes that
with part Of his division, he attacked 300 Texans,
strongly posted in a wood-that in the mean time ano.
Their party of $50 Texans appeared on one of his
Aanks-that he ordered his cavalry to attack the latter,
which was done, killing 100, taking Is prisoners, and
allowing . or 3 to escape. That the main body or the
Texans fed about the close of the day, leaving their
killed on the ground, &c.
The Matamoras editor says, that the result Of this
engagement plainly shews how idle are the Texan
boastings Of superiority, as the number OF combatan;s
actually engaged on each side, was nearly equal, yet
Mexican vaor and discipline gained the day.
IN. 0. Courier, Nor. Q.
We believe most Of the persons who have reflected
on the complexion of the late advices from the theatre
of war in Texas, will agree with US in thinking that
the operations Of General Woll exhibit considerable
improvement in tactics. We find that he has partly,
if not altogether, overcome the superiority derived
from skill in shooting the rifle, by furnishing The Me1i-
can battalions with artillerists and howItzers, the fire
from which go thins the ranks Of the ASSISTANTS, az TO
render any advance Of the latter extremely dangerous,
whenever made in presence Of hostile cavalry Of supe-
rior force. in consequence, the Texisas will be com.

THE VETO.

War has been declared, not only against spe-
cia exercises of the Veto power in certain cases,
but against the power itself. The battle has
been covert, as well as open. Mr.. Clay and the
Intelligencer, ct i'd genus omne have been untlr-
ing in the open baltle-whie masked battery
has been armed in the House. Bills are so de-
vised as to render Veto inevitable clauses
are inserted which it is known the President
can not and will not approve, with the hope that
the Veto power will be made unpopular by the
frequency of its exercise. Such is the scheme
Federalism and dictatorship are powerless while
the integrity of the Constitution remains. They
cannot flourish under the Republican Govern
ment framed by our forefathers-they must al
ter it in an essential point-they must have
new form of Government.
