From the Lowell Patriot.

"The New York Historical Society, at
its recent session, proposed to bestow
upon "brother Jonathan, new name
In their view the United States of Ameri-
ca is altogether too common place Some
thing more characteristic, poeticl roman
tic, and euphonic must be substituted
therefor. The name of"Alleghania"w was
proposed as distinctive substitute. The
society had addressed letters to many OF
the distinguished men of the country solic-
ltlng their opinions concerning the propri-
ETY. of the proposed change. The replies
are almost invariably against the project.
Mr. Van Buren, says, 81 have not been
able to satisfy myself of either the neces-
sity or expediency of the proposed under
taking; preferring, under present circum-
stances, that the matter should remain as
it now stands" Chancellor Kent, In his
reply says--"My judgment and taste are
decidedly averse TO the inovaton.'' So
say nine out of ten of the leading men in
the country-and so will and do say the
mass af the people, who will never sub
nit to swallow the refined doses that
few Drained pendants may seek to
cram down their throats. The numerous
family Of Uncle Sam are very well salts
fed with the old name"
Good! We like that. We have seen
it urged in favor of the new name, that in
foreign countries, people from all parts of
the U. S. are distinguished by the cogno-
men of" Yankees" 1.-THE New York Sa-
rans( y and "refned" nincompoops never
have any worse name than yankee put
upon them. they need have no occasion
to complain. "YANKEE," from the UNI
TED STATES OF AMERICA. We
rather think John Bull could tell from
what part of the world such person
would be likely to hail.

THE GREAT RACE

On Long Island between Pey,ona ant
Fashion terminated in favor of Peytona
the southern horse. The concourse o.
spectators was immense. 1t was a splen
did race, we have had nothing equal since
the days Of Eclipse.
First heat-Won by Peytona by two
lengths, in I'm. 80 3-4s.
Second heat-Won by Peytona by one
length, in I'm, Al LIS
Of course the third heat was not rum
The track was heavy with dust, and al
accounts agree that, though the time wa:
extraordinary, Peytona beat with ease
and is capable Of doing still more, if nee
essary. Fashion, though beaten, retain:
her honor and her admirers. She i.
eight years old, and was rode by Jos. La
lrd,carrying 1913 pounds weight. PeytonG
is six years old, and was rode by Barney
(F. {. Palmer carrying | Is pounds weight
The amount of money which changed
hands is very large, probably four or five
hundred thousand dollars, and the south
erners rejoice, for substantial reasons, in
The speed of their young and unrivalled
mare.
Never, says the Courier and Enquirer,
was there witnessed on any course, so
beautiful race. During the whole eight
miles run, the nags were tapping each 9TH
er, with the exception of about quarter
of a mile. They might literally have been
covered with blanket. But this it must
be admitted, was entirely owing to the fac,
that the rider of Peytona was conscious of
her superior foot and bottom, and felt that
he had it all his own way.

HOW VERY TERRIBLE.


INV lJihniDbb'
The may il is 10 be dOnc.-The London
Sunday Times, in an article on the Ore
gon question, and the hostile movements
which may grow out OF it, has the follow
ing sentence. If it don't make some OF
our yankee" boys and girls laugh, we
are mistaken.
eff we go to war with the United
States we must rouse their slaves against
them--must land black regiments In their
territories, and make it in all respects, a
war of inslitutions-the most tremendous
of all wars. We must distribute arms
among the blacks of Carolina, and Flori-
da, and Virginia, and Alabama, and teach
the cruelty of the United States lesson
which may produce a good effect upon
the world in general. OF course we shall
be slow to enter upon this dreadful con-
test. But if it must come with all its dire
full consequences, it must, We have much
less to dread from it than they who will be
our enemies. 1t may cost us money-it
may call upon many of US 10 lay down
our lives-but it will be in a cause which
will mitigate the pangs of death; the cause
Of freedom and humanity against the most
cruel oppression Of both which the history
of mankind can adduce. We shall be
called upon for no sacrifice OF national
honor. We shall not be fighting to secure
to ourselves the hellish privilege ofselling
and torturing our fellow creatures; while
the United States will be standing for
ward blood stained and branded with the
inelfaceable tokens of her hereditary
crimes. Let war with the Union there
fore come when it may, we shall enter
upon il manfully and chastise our base
brethren beyond the Atlantic for the infa-
my with which they have covered the
English name in that part of the world"
Oh, Lordy! what can the matter be,
JOHNNY! Although some few of the
rankes, Of the wing party, following out
the old track Of federalism, might refuse
to stand up to the rack, in case of war,
yet we believe nothing would suit the Yer
monters Id general, so we'll as a brush

and "Plattsburgh!" troops would start as
from the ground, and bear away the myr-
midoms of British tyranny, "blach," white
and yellow, as the hurricane sweeps
away the chaf1, If the editors of the
Times knew how silly and nonsensical
such stuff sounds this side of the atlantic,
they would undoubtedly be wiser than
they are.

SCOLD AWAY.

The Richmond Wing, one of the most
rabd federal papers in the country, thus
fcclingly discourses about the disastrous
result of the recent election to the feds. in
Virginia. 1t is amusing, very.
"They (lhe Lyon Whigs) have given
to Loco-Focoism, undoubtedly,a triumph,
which it will value next after the defeat of
Henry Clay! They have given TO the
mass of the old Wing party here and
throug h the Stote, the melancholy convc-
ton, that the cause Of order and regu-
lated liberty, is destined to eternal defeat,
not so much from the strength of the open
foe, as the secret treachery Of some of its
own members; who, too cowardly to ac.
knowledge the meditaed treachery, ehec,
by dark and secret means, what they
burst not attempt openly and above board!

Relations wih Eng land. There is a'ru-
NOR from Washington, coming through
channels likely to be correct, TO the fol-
lowing purport, viz; that the adminsitra-
ton, in consequence of the new posture of
our relations with England, contemplaes
sending out an ex,raordinry minister,
charged with the Oregon negotiation, and
also TO propose treaty Of reciprocal tar
ifs; that the President desires that 1t IS

ing that Mr. Calhoun would accept this
special embassy, that Mr. Pickens has de.
clined the place of resident minister which
was rendered to him. This is not bad
plan, and we have no doubt that it has
been discussed at Washington.

ONE DAY LATER FROM MEXICO

ONE DAY LATER FROM MEXICO.
The New Orleans Picayune Of the nh
has advices from Vera Cruz to the Odd
ult, by the Creole.
We make some extracts from the Plea
yune's summary
we have again to say that Mexico has
not yet declared war against the United
States, although rumors we're rile in town
yesterday that she had done so. Verbal
communications from some of the nassen-
gers by The Creole represent tina, the peper-
al feeling in Vera Cruz is in favor of war
and that the prevailing impression there
is that the Government will declare i, so
soon as 1t finds itself in situation TO do
so with effect Nous ceir5as.
The four American vessels of war were
still lying at SACRIFICES.
BY this arrival we hear not word more
of Mr. Shannon, the American Minister.
The most interesting intelligence re-
la,es to the fate of Santa Anna and those
involved in his overthrow. A proposition.
has been introduced in the Chamber OF

issuing the decree of of the Goth Nov
Der, closing the sessions of Congress may

trlatlng themselves for the term Of ten
years. A, the same time another PROPOSE

pretended in the circular of the 9th Of

Early riSing.-There is freshness, a
purity in early morning, which to the
physical and moral state of man, is vigor
and delight. 1t is seldom that the sensu-
alist, the idle or vain, tastes its ETHEREAL
Joys. A mystical spirit turks in the per-
lumed breath of awakened creation, which
is undoubtedly gifted with supernatural
power. Those who would live long and
see good days, most habitually become
early risers. The loss Of the morning hour
is never retrieved.

time, and-'hough grumbing little at

luton to maintain the rights and honor OF

that our right to Oregon "rssts upon an
indstructible basis" Mr. Polk conceiyes
the same opinion. and why should he not
express that opinion, in behalf of our
rights.
Whatever may be thought of the pro-
priety Of The course persued by Mr. Polk
in his inaugural address upon the subject,
whilst it was still under negotiation, we
are wholly at loss to know how it is that
Lord Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, and

Liberation of DO,r postponed. Dive are
panied to perceive, saws the Providence
Gazette of Saturday evening, as we do,
by our correspondence from Newport to-
day. that the Legislature has adjourned,
and that Nh Dor' has not been liberated
"This act ofjustice, mercy, and comon
humanity, was not only recommended by
the sovereign people at the late election,
but it was urged upon the Legislature, by
petition after petition, signed in many in
stances by those who voted for Gov Fen
ner. The result is not only defiance of
popular will, but it is the qualification of
malevolent spirit in few men, who,
unhappily it may be for our States peace
and quiet, still hold the reins ofpower."
The test vote in the Senate was ii for
liberation, and 10 against In the House,
it was % in favor, and 80 against The
Reporter of the Gazette, writing from
Newport, on Friday evening, says:

alent among our friends, that an uncon-
ditional liberation will certainly be cfec-
ted at the June session.
