MARK that.
! The Southern papers by Thursday
nights mail, bring us no further news
about the intentions Of Mexico. The
following we copy from the Jeilsr
sonian:
MILITARY MOVEMENTS, Capt.
Forno was yesterday, with his brave
and patriotic company ofar,iIlery, mus
tered into service. Maj. GaIIy will re-
port his ready this morning, and both
under command Of Maj G. will, during
the day, embark on board the steam
ship Alabama, to JOIN Gen. Taylor, at
Corpus Christi Bay.
The two companies will number a
bout 100 men ready TO go where henor
and duty calls them.
We understand that Col. Dankin's
regiment of rifemea is nearly cornplete,
David II. Glenn, has been appointed
receiver Of public money for the dis
trict Of lands subject 10 sale at Jackson,
vice Isaac McFarran, resigned.
F The Native American, publish
ed at New Orleans, has hoisled the
name of Judge Mclean Of Ohio, for
president in l848.
AS Native American, VIC oppose
this early effort of our brethren to ag-
itate the presidential question, because
we believe it can result in no good.
tits very evident Il at the Native a,
merlcans can never hope TO succeed in
electing president upon that question
only, candidate must be Wing or
a Democrat, and come before the peo-
pie as such, if he wishes to run with
any probability Of success. If q candi-
date should run upon 40 other ques-
tion. than that of NatIvism, and wing
should be candidate and though OPP
posed TO that doctrine, we hold the 90
litical principles Of the wings SO para
m ounr, that we should support the
wing. We think 1t is highly impro
per in those Native Americans W he
q re wings, to raise the standard Of any
wing for president, upon that princi
pie only. As it will have the effect o
preiudicing his prospects with his par
| ~, or those of them who are not Ma
tives. Judge Mclean, We have hear'
it suggested, is the lavorile oil tn
wings tor president, or is consderet
by them as the most available man, ant
if they wish 10 see him succeed, ia
1847, it is certainly impolitic in the
highest degree in them, to cast one fit
ter upon him. We have no doubt tina
the Native Americans will endeavor to
have a candidate in the field, perhap,
an independent candidate; but wha
can such man expect TO be the result
No one pretends to believe, that ma
jority of the American people will vot,
for a man who comes before them ma
king no other issue.
We wish to see change in our nat
uralization laws, but still, we wish more
ardently TO see the cherished doctrine
OF the wing party Triumphant; and wha
, ever operates as draw back TO thei
success, we say, cut it off.

melancholy occurrence from the Gre
NADIA Harry Of the West:
FATAL ACClDENT.-On Sunday
last, as Mr.. Robert Minler was return
ing home from preaching, as he drove
up 10 his gate, little puppy sprang at
the mule which was harnessed in the
Sulkey, frightning it in such manner.
that it ran away before Mr.. Minter had
time to get out. The Sulkey was dash
ed 10 pieces, and Mr. Minter killed up.
