LEW lis ALONE


-, rms is the motto with which the new State of
florida with its twenty thousand white inhabitants,
comes INTO the Union and forthwith its Governor
proceeds, IN accordance with the spirit which ad.
opted such motto, to read lecture to the other
states OF the confederacy upon the extent to which
thls new member of the family will submit to the
government and interference Of its elder sisters.
Ihere is degree of cool impertinence in this
whole proceeding which is sufficiently amusing,
ana certainly the motto of the State, and the mes.
sage OF its Governor assimate beautifully toreth.
err % "
The origin of the motto has led to some discus.
SION we observe the Floridian ascribinr it to the
french Manufacturers at Lyons but we are temp.
TED to agree with the Tallahassee Sentinel, which
gives it much older date
1t was the frantic exclamation of an "unclean
spirit to our Savior, and occurs in Mark LIST chap.

"What will be the destiny Of that Representative

the way OF the full and complete triumph of this
greatest and noblest measure that has employed the

SHINING against light and experience, will dare to

The above appeared in the Washington letter,
published in the Boston Post of yesterday. By

but it is Endorsed by the Post The writer. whoey-

good men in the free States, at least, syho will
spurr with contempt the pitiful bravado which he
puts torth-men who do not change their PRINCIPLES
to suit particular phases of political events-inen
who have fought in minority for years, and will
be content to remain in minority for wears TO

sentiment Of humanity proclaims wrong and an
outrage, and say" 1t is all right let us say amen
to it." Although the task may be vain and prof
itess one, so far as money and Office are concern
ed, there is a moral sublimty in contesting for prn
ciple and justice, and it brings a peace of mind
which the world can neither give or take away. At

closely the ligaments of slavery upon an innocent
and oppressed race, and to circumscrbe mans lib.

light, there remains yet, thank God, fearless host,
faithful to the compact which binds together the
oppressed and down-trodden of earth, who will
fight on, fight ever, till their end shall be eaned,
and freedom shall be everywhere difused. Defeat
will not depress them, nor frolhy vaporings frigK,cn
them. Their course is onward.-LOwN Courier.

WAR WITH MEXICO.

The Union says that Ex-plenipo. Shannon and
Capt. Stockton, two official humbugs, have express
ed the opinion that Mexico will declare war against
America. We do not believe it, but if we escape
without war, it will not be owing to our own JUS
tice or wisdom. We have acted SO UNANIMOUSLY to-
wards Mexico that nothing but her weakness will
save us from her just resentment. Had any nation
on earth treated as as zoe have treated Mexico ev-
cry man in the Union would have shouldered his
musket.
But should War, contrary to all probability, be
declared, let it not be forgotten that it is War for
the extension of Slavery. Messrs. Upshur, Cal
houn, Tyler, &c, have openly and officially placed
the Annexation Of Texas upon this ground The
South sought and obtained Texas for the purpose
of enlorging The territory, and strengthening the
Influence of Slavery. A President was elected to
promote the interest of Slavery. There is Slave
predominance in the U. $. Senate. Florida, with
but a handful of Electors, and Texas, with less
number Of Votes than the County of Albany casts
send FOUR Representatives into the U. S. Senate,
to neutralize the vote of Massachusetts and YER

York, If we blush to say lt-Pennsyvania and N.

New wheat begins to make its appearance in the

Our pasture lands look more like burnt prairies
than verdant fields. The diaries will be much less

pounds of butter and cheese that passed through
