Peter b. StarIke.

1t did our heart good to greet, on Friday
last, this warm and ardent Wing, who has
been actively engaged, ever since the open.
ing Of the canvass, in battling manfully for
those principles, which. instilled into his
mind in the halcyon days of childhood, have
"grOwn with his growth, and strengthened
with his strength" II we only had few
more wings who, like him, would devote
their time, their talents and their money
in advocating the principles we profess and
in giving life and animation to our ranks,
locofocoism in this State would soon be
numbered among ''the things that were. y
He is truly a great man! Unaided BY friends
OF fortune, be has, by the power Of his
mighty genius alone, attained at one bold
leap, welI.nigh the tOP-mOst round on the
ladder Of Fame, and seems at home upon
that Dizzy height. Laying aside every
feeling Of party prejudice, we think that p.
B. Starke is better calculated than any man
IN the State to represent US in the mex
Congress; bis clear and penetrating mind
his sound and vigorous intellect, his bold
and lofty eIOqneDce, his rich and luxuriant
Imagination, and all the varied powers d
his gigantic mind, would command respect
and admiration amid that galaxy Of the in,
/
tellect and eloquence Of our nation egel
found in Congress Halls. His deep dsvo,
ton to the interests Of our State, would
cause him 70 rise superior to the trammell

OF II is currently reported on the au~
ihoritg of Washington letters, that Presi>
dent Polk has written an autograph letter
TO the President Of Mexico, of the most
cOnciliaiOry character, and that a new Mex.
can Minister, with special powers, is TO be
appointed. We trust that the rumvr is true,
as it will save US the expanding Of large
amount of money TO prepare for the war
which Mexico would be compelled, for the
sake Of her national honor, 10 wage upon US
upon the consummation Of the annexation
Of Texas. But surroundedcd as she is by
powerful creditors and strong enemies, she
would eagerly seize upon any means of gain
ing the friendship, at least the neutrality, Of
the United States; and this step on the part
Of our President, would open a way BY
which she might honorably retreat from the
bellgerent altitude whiah she has assumed
tow ards this country, and enter into a treaty
of amity with us.
