Tie Abo'ition Vote.-The Abolition vote of tiei
State Of New York in the late Presidential con-
test. is said to exceed $4,000. The heavies, Alb.
oiition vote. in Pennsylvania has been pocd in
the whig counties.
We notice that many whig papers in the Unit
ed States are ascribing the defeat Of Mr.. Clay to
tho direct influence of Aboionis.s and Catholics,
and foreigners. Concerning the latter we have
already spoken, But how do facts COMFORT with
this statement? Listen, and we will shew that
like mnny whig statements. it sprang from spleen
pregnant with SANDER, bitterness and dish appoint
'nont. In tho States of Vermont, Massachusetts.
Connecticut. Rhode Island, Ohio, and parts of
New Jersey, the Aboliiionists most abound in.
feed in these States lie their rong holds. These
States all gavo majorties for Clay. and of course
their vote went went with the current. Taking
out these States, and the Aboltonis.s are feeble
body. Thus this tale is upset. As TO the Cath.
ocs, the State of Maryland. a good federal Clay
State. contains tho largest Catholic population.
and their influence was given of Mr.. Clay. Do
not these facts shew the false nature of the cutlery
the Wings have raised gains; Abolition and Cath.
ole influence most conclusively.

We we're not so fortunate as to receive files
OF Mexican journals by the last arrivals from Vo.
ia Cruz' consequently. the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Shannon, the American Minister TO
hexico. and Senior Rojon, tie Mexican Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, did not como under our obser
walton until synopsis of it appeo red in the PIC
ayune Of yesterday.
we nave not been able to discover any thing
peculiar IN the correspondence. except it seems
'hht at last oar country has representative in
Mexico not willing 10 pocket impu,a,ions on the
good faith OF his country his government. nor

Mr.. Shannon mos, wisely and justly, we think.
has taken different sland, and refused to en,er.
Ihe Government. 1t was the only course he could
take with propricly dignity. 1t is not worth
bile, 10 be sure, 10 get offended at every infirm-
ity Of temper that a Mexican diplomat moy be
guilty Of; but the superciIIiousncss, clTicniery
and wanton abuse OF Santa Annals Government
have been borne long enough. ANY Of the prin.
cipai States of Europe would have chus:sed the
l,.ir {
that the United oates has borne SO patiently.
4 Storm Brewing.-A writer in the Ma,acor.
da (Texas) Despatch, in unfolding tho true policy
of the kepubi!c, urges the necessity OF an in.uo
date declaration Of war against the United States
This course, 10 thinks, by compelling this Gov.
ernmen! 10 invade and conquer Texas, would
secure nnneXaIon-,he drift and purpose or the
sage Iu'ii"r's iucubraons. The necessity of an

States is insisted upoa 10 prev"n, violent and bel.

The Idea OF declaring war, as measur re to prcser>
