WASHINGTON Aupust

WASHINGTON, august "A, l040-
II does seem to us that Mexico is rather tardy in
her Illumination declaratory OF war We have been
expecting the news with some impatlence, but like
the spirits OF owen Glendower it is not forthcoming.
The administration rather desires the sister republic
to throw down the glove, Judging from the fonni-
dabe armament our government has sent down to
take 1t up when called upon. Thousands of our un-
occupied young men, painting for action for glory,
and for fight, want war; !; and why does not Mexico
crafty us with formal license to revel in the halls
of the Montezumas? We expect she will hypothe.
her churches, for every thing ese we believe,
is hypohecaed, for the loan of those l5 600;
and if she borows of John Bull, fights, and is re-
duced to peace, as she will be very speedily, her
next step OF national advancement will be annexa-
ton to US, or provincalism to Great Britain POSI-
lively, we hope to live to see Mexico a part of the
great North American Union.
distinguished whig informs US, that the great
whg party nothing daunted at the results Of the
recent elections He says that Judge Mclean, of
Ohio, can redeem their political bankruptcy in l8iS.
The Congress to be elected two years hence, they
influence will have been sufficiently dlused to rally
the party We have been furth apprised, II at many
OF the most ultra wings are warmly in favor OF the
Judge they confidently believe that he will not on
ly unite wings, but absorb into the whg ranks the
old JacksOnan conservatives. The gallant Scott,
who has many friends in the whig party, it appears
must continue at the head of our army, In order to
distinguish himself and his country, again, in the
event of war with Mexico, or any other foreign
power.
And profting nothing from their recent disas-
rous defeat the wings appear rather anxious to try
Col. Polk second heat with new competitor such
as Judge Mclean. Whether they would beat him
or not would depend materially upon the results of
Col. Polk's first term. If Col. Polk modi6es the
tarlff-destroys the farming out and shaving upon
the public moneys discharges Pleasanton and Hag-
ner-sends Walker off to Russia, Buchanan to the
Supreme Court, Marcy back to New York, and calls
Col Butler, of Kentucky, to fill his place; if he
whether OF peace or war, with Mexico, then it
would be impossible to beat him ; but if he goes on
toddling along indecisve, temporizng, and feeling
his way to the dull, monotonous grinding of the or
gan, he will be swamped before the end his first
term, and possibly OF the first year of his first team
-swamped and deserted by his own party.
AT all events, whatever two or three years may
bring forth, (and the womb of time is prolific Of
wonders) one thing is very apparent, that the whigs,
by movement almost involuntary, are concentra-
ting upon Judge McLe and we give this dscove-
Messrs. Calhoun, Wright Buchanan, Dallas, Wal
ker, Woodbury., Cass, Allen, Butler and others,
for their especial edfcation. Judge Mclean and J.
MACPHERSON Berrlen will be the next whig ticket,
says Father Ritchie! Hey? Asleep old papa? What
do you say! "Nous uerrons, my boy, nous ueyroms'
Hurrah! Father Richie says we shall see.
The funeral of young Kendall took place to-day,
between 10 and IL o'clock. large concourse or
people were present in the house and ON the street
nron during the Impressive service over the CORPSE
Il was taken to the Congressional Burying Ground,
attended by long train Of carriages. There were
much weeping and deep feeling during the service
at the house, and also at the grave Young Kendall
was very widely known and esteemed as an amiable
and upright young man.
The wounded man, Bailey, is confined to his room
from his shattered arm. Elliott, the young man Ga
very pale faced, delicate boy in appearance) guilty of
all this execution, appears to be suffering from deep
reflection upon the results of his passion. Mr.. Blair
was present with him in the court to-day throughout
the sitting. Cen Jones had not finished his argu-
gument for the defence, when the court adjourned
over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Rves will be present in Court we expect,
tomorrow. Mr.. Kendall arrived this morning at
three O'Clock, and attended, of course, the funeral
obsequies of his son.
Leaving this melancholy subject, we understand
Croswel, OF the Albany Argus, is here, and 8. N.
Benton, your State Secretary, we believe; and
certain uncertain Mr. Striker, of the little village
of Rome, or thereabouts. 1t is easy to guess that
they will not go away without seeing Mr. Walker.
And that's all, for this evening, as Mr.. Mason
lately said to some of his vsiters when the supper
of his family consisted Of mush and milk.
