WAR AND RUMORSO OF WAR.


bear which the Wing Journals are at
tempting TO get up about a war with
Mexico. "Fudge!" 1t issaid that Al
monte, the Mexican Minister at Wash
ington city, ha, demanded his passports
anc intimated in SO many words that his
Government would regard the action Of
the American Congress upon the Texas
question as q declaration of war. The
only proper comparison which we know
for a declaration of wal by Mexico a.
eainst US, is a dew drop upon the lions
name. The first drop Of American
blood which flows, will cause Mexico TO
become a conquered and subjngaied ma
ton. Her cruel exactions, extortions
and systems Of tyranny, will be over
thrown, and her suffering and starving
population relieved-the strong holds
Of her power will tottle to the ground,
and tor aught we know, the hero OF San
Jacinto may yet revel in the halls Of the
Montazumas.
With feeling, akin TO humanity, we
deprecate :he evils of war, and the long
train Of concomitant evils which are sure
to follow in its wake. We abhOr the
sigh, Of mans hands imbrped in his
brothers blood-of cities sacked, terri
tories ravaged, and yet we should consid-
cr ourselves wanting in that patriotism
which We proudly claim as our own, ii
We we're not willing 10 look upon spec
~tacles more horrifying than these, rather
than behold the tarnishment AMI degre-
dation Of cur national honour. In This
matter a. q great people We have acted
as become us-we have witnessed un-
moved as n nation while revolutionary
| blood courses like red-hot lava through
our veins the cruel expressions which
have ground our people 10 the dust
we have seen cur own IONS massacrcd
in cold blood by this treacherous nation,
we have foIbornc 10 act in this matter
until longer forbcarance would have be-
come dangerous in the extreme-until
our own children cried nut fonsi in riinnnS
tone. 10 protect them from the touch o:
Mexican barbarity. And now il MeAi'
CO dares TO declare war ugaint us, ior
extending the american Aegei'' over
a province Of RICH, belonging to us, let
her suffer the consequences OF her te-
mcrily, When the blood is heated, the
bu,chcry Of a Fannin and a Crockett
may flash upon the mind, substituting
the law of retaliation for that Of mercy,
For ourselves, we are strong in the
belief that there will be no war-if there
is, we venture this prediction that tn,
present form Of Government i'll McAict
will be subverteG, and that not u vestage

Security Against Oppression.


The strongest objection urged against an
mendment OF the State Constitution. so as Ia
afford equal representation, is found in the idea
that If power he given Ia The West, 1t will be abu.
sed in the undsi taxation of the slave property o!
the East.
This is assuming that tho Western people
would disregard the plaincst principles OF JusiIc.
willingly, and abuse their power wantonly. With
out undertaking, in the present Instance, To de.
fend them upon this point IT might be sufficient
To say that the assumption is a violent one. and
argues n disirust and jealousy not likely To he
productive of good in the settlement of question
30 important. The fact, however, should he no.
ted that even no,r, with the power con!essedly in
the East the rate of taxation upon slaves, Is high
er than upon any other species OF property. IL is
therefore self imposed and If there is no sound
reason for it, (as we must presume there is) the
Eastern members are TO blame for il, having am
pie power In correct II.
We have heard no argument more substantial
than the one stated against reform in the State
Constitution; but the alleged evil certainly is no,
without an easy and most cfiectual remedy. This
has been suggested often, hut has recently been
renewed by the Lynchburg Virgininn; and it is
this, that the ad palorem principle of taxation on
property, lie adopted article of the Const-
tution and therefore, the power apprehendcd will
be placed on, of the reach of any So; of men who
might be disposed to abuse 1t.
But this is a question which the writer will not
undertake Ia discuss. II is enough Tor his present
purpose to stale. that he considers the apprehcn-
sion of an abuse OF power, IN respect To slave pro-
perty, rs altogether ilusory, and the consequcn-
ccs claimed from il totally inccrnsible. The
greater portion of the Valley region has an iicni-
fy Of interest rrih he East. in this matter Of slave.
~; and ii is not likely its representatives would
join the extreme West IN any measure of papahlc
oppression. Indeed, there canno, long be, under
an augmentation of population in the Western
portion of the State, any great dissmarity of IN.
terests. Improvements will enhance the value III
taxable property, and few years will bring ahou:
much equality in the imposition of bur;hens,
as is likely TO exist under any state of things.
