ONE pAYLATER FROM MEXICol

|
By the Schooner Creole, at New
Orleans, we have one day later intel
/ !igence from Mexico. She brings date.
to the 92d ut. We find the following
inform alton in the Picayune: Mexico
has not yet declared war against the
United States, although rumors were
rife III town Yesterday that she hac
done so. The subject was avery gen
eral topic of conversation yesterday
but no one, we presume seriously be-
ieved in the rumor. At any rate j
was treated with derision. Verbal com
munlcations from some of the passen
gers by the Creole represent that the
general feeling at Vera Cruz is in favor
of war, and that the prevailing i'm
preston there is, that the governmen,
will declare it so soon as it finds itsel
in a situation to do SO with effect.
The four American vessels Of wal
were still lying al Sacrifcios. Should
Capt. Stockston's squadron join them,
as is anticipated, the fleet will consis,
Of eight vessels of war, mounting IN all
l54 guns.
By this arrival, we hear not a word
more of Mr.. Shannon, the American
Minister.
The most interesting intelligence
which we find, relates to the fate OF
Santa Anna and those involved in his
overthrow. A proposition has been
introduced in the Chamber Of Deputies
that Santa Anna. Canalizo and the four
ex-Ministers, who took part in issuing
the decree of the 29th of November,
closing the sessions Of Congress, may
avoid trial upon the condition of ex-
tirpating themselves for the term Of
ten years. AT the same time another
proposition was submitted, to the effect
that an absolute amnesty should be
granted to all those generals and other
officers comprehended in the circular
of the 9th Of January, depriving them
of their commands, &C., even though
they had been already sentenced.
We do not find that the Chamber
have acted upon these propositions, but
that they are very likely TO receive
their appreciation we ent.rtain no
doubt.
A member Of the Chamber Of Dep
uties, Don Crescentio Boves had rails
ed strong excitement and irritation
by speech in which he treated the
Mexican government with bitterness,
and commented on their conduct in re-
lation to Texas, with energy. He de-
clared they were unable to conquer
Texas, and it was no longer theirs. A
motion was made to expel this plain
speaking member.

ting. The president of the association
had received an authentic copy OF the
speech of Daniel O'Connel, recently
delivered in Dublin before the Irish Ma
tional Repeal Association, in which he
administered much abuse of this coun-
try-offered the British government.
"for consideration tn, aid Of the
Irish people in war against this coun-
try, should it occur on account Of Or
egon or Texas, so that the American
eagle should be brought down from the
proud height, &c.; all which has been
made familiar to the public by the ne VS.
papers. This he laid before the select
committee of the association; and they,
after mature delberation, prepared a
preamble and resolutions yindicatory
Of the ASSOCIATION, its friends and the
Irish adopted citizens, as connected
with the idea of the respect due the
American feeling, and regard for their
own character as American citizens
Daniel O'ConneIl was freely censured,
and he and his speech both most en-
phatically repudiated; and the last of
the series of resolutions dissolved the
association. and transferred the funds
on hand TO the Hibernian Society. The
resolutions were adopted, and the as

THE TAX LAW.

The Gazette makes some attempt to
defend the chicken tax law, by copying
the misrepresentation of its kindred
print, the Ohio State Journal.
These are that, an increase Of taxa
ton being made necessary, by the i'm
posing of that increase upon the stock
in trade, and ''brokers AMI shavers,"
the landed and laborious interests are
saved from an addition to their burdens.
An increase o. taxation was made
necessary? Aye, and how was 1t made
necessary? Answer US that, We finan-
ciers Of whiggery, or rather ye defend
ers of whig tinanciering. Was i, the
improvidence Of your Legislation last
winter. or the improvidence of your
management heretofore? Was it the
increase OF salaries, the increase of sal
aried officials, the erection of an un-
necessary and extravagantState House,
the neglect of the canals in building up
new schemes of Improvement, that
made increased taxation necessarily
or was 1t the brilliant financial opera
tions Of Kelley & Co., id shining about
Wall street with State stocks sixty
cents on the dollar? The democratic
board of Fund Commissioners, disen-
gagged the credit of the State from the
wreck of half the banks in her borders,
raised her bonds to par; paid off
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of dollars Of "temporary loans" made
by their predecessors as mere expedii
ents to shift the demands of one year
over to the ext,-and left the State re-
deemed from all discrcdit and financial
embarrassments,-and all this without
the increase of taxation, the necessity
of which has come with the coming or
whiggery1nto power.
But this increase having become ne
cessary, taken as postulate, without
regard to the means, there follows the
assumption that it is heaped wholly up
on stock in trade and "brokers and sha-
vers." Grant that capital employed in
trade and manufacturing is primarily
taxed-does the operation rest hereG
This capital must recruit itself in some
way or be Withdrawn. 1t must buy
its raw material lower, to the prejudice
Of the producer; it must pay lower
tariff of wages, to the prejudice of the
lobor it employs, or it must sell al high.

tner. A tax upon capital employed in
trade and manufacturing is tax upon
trade and manufactures themselves;
but capital is very clear Of standing
the brunt of it. No, the producer gets
so much less for his new material-the
operative for his labor,- the consumer
pays so much more for the manufactu.
red article !=-capital takes care to re-
plenish its own pockets, and shift the
burdens to the broad shoulders of in

a medium of paying tax in the world;

New BANKs.---We understand that John
II. James, that distinguished fnancier, form
erly President of that beautiful concern, the
Urbana swindling shop, is about starting
new bank in Cincinnati, out OF the remains
of the old Mechanics and Traders concern,
and one at Urbana, upon the ruins of the old
discount shop. Whether the bills will be
decorated with the picture of Durham bull,
or some broken down whig candidate for
President, or Governor of the State, we have
not heard--but if the people have learned
anything from experience, they will beware
of anything that bears the name of that dis
tinguished fnancier, or that is under his con-
troll, directly or indirectly. II is also rumor-
ed that Mr.. James and Mr.. Follet of the
Ohio State Journal, are about establishing a
branch of the State Bank at Sandusky. Whe-
ther they will reissue the old shinplasters of
the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad
Company or not, we arc unadvised, but we
will know as soon as Ex-Governor Vance and
Mr.. Follet hold consultation over the matter
We hope the public will be informed of their
determination in time. The old mode of the
Urbana Bank will of course be continued, of
receiving their o,on notes on deposit, when
they are not able 10 redeem them in gold and
silver. In that case, it will be indispensably
necessary to have Mr.. James as an officer in
the bank, as there are few men twith impu-
dence enough to make such proposition TO

specie. Ohio Statesman. ~

GEORGE BANCROFT.

This talented individual, now at the head
of the Navy Department, does do some of the
best things that ever were conceived of by
man. This is, when he is George Bancroft
the Statesman; but when he gets to be
George Bancroft the Historian-the man Of
all thoughts and no words--the man who
makes bow to his door scraper and asks
pardon of the door-bell for disturbing it-who
sees nobody, knows nobody considers nobody,
and cares for nobody--we feel desirous of
having him take the Smithsonian bequest
and 90 to some second island of Patmos to
write himself, into mummy, and depart in
the fullness of time upon the breath Of hur-
ricane with the leaves of Autumn.
He has destroyed the poetry of teare ab-
sence life on shore: smelling-bottles and cap
sues have fallen in price in all large cities on
account thereof, and navy button is as rare
now as silver dollar was in the country in
the last year of the Revolutionary war. He
has sent an over anxious physician TO sea
with his invalid friend, purser, that the SER
vice might not suffer, and that the purser
might not want for friendly sympathy and
friendly medical advice. He has broken up
the post-admiral or post-captains situations
with their numerous lieutenanIs and midship-
men. He has infused new life into the SER
vice--set the old rusty battle ships in motion
used up the timber rotting in the docks
and the stores spelling by detention and dis
use in the naval arsenals. He has confined
flogging in the navy TO as narrow limit as
the law would allow him. He has stirred up
spirit of emulation in the officers of the
Navy--taken off the parlor sheen from new
epauletts and frightened up the old ones
He has taken the part Of Jack against the
(" buttons and bullion" and has brought into
the dock.yards a system of accountability,
long wanted but never before enjoyed.
We, therefore, must approve of his acts,
though we cannot apologize for bis histori-
cal periods-his hours Of mist -and his mo-
ments Of absence from the body"
We wish, in one Of his worldly intervals
which we understand now predominant, that
he would refer to the law recognizing his
office and see that civilians are placed at the
head Of those bureaus, where, by the consent
Of the world, they would do the best, and
send to sea those officers who now make
cheese knives of their swords and butter tast-
ers of their daggers-that he would see that

treated in the usual way for ali affection of
the lungs by two eminent physicians, until
the disease assumed such malignant form
that they declared the patient had confirm
ed consumpton-that medicine could do no
more, and he must die: His breath was so
affected by the disease that no one could
stay in his room but short time. At this
stage, when all hope had fed, friend gave
him a bottle Of Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry declaring that at any rate it could do
him no harm. He took it and grew much
better. He continued the use Of it, and BY
using three or four bottles was completely
cured.

"We shall, we fear, want the flour OF
America; they ought to encourage, in return,
the consumption of our manufactures. The
question of Texan annexation is settled
Mexico will one day follow--it is the natural

which apparently make ambition virtue"
This Englishman, unlike most of bis coun-

terchange Of productions is demanded by the
interests of both nations. We can furnish
the English with the products of our farms,
and can in return consume their manufactures.
Thus will both nations be benefited, and a
sure bond of perpetual peace between US be
formed. But selfish politicians, and ignorant
but we'll meaning men, will prevent con-
