IACON

By the steam schr, ,auguSia we have dates from MatamoraS as late as lha 9th inst. The news is contained in letter to Cant. GlLLETT, of the ,aagHsta, which we copy. It will be seen that the advces from the city of Mexico are not later than what has alrea- dy been received here. The march of i large Mexican force to the frontier, with the intention of covering the line of the Rio Gran de, is confirmed. There seems, however. to be no disposition made for an invasion, or the prosecution of war on grand scale. As yet, the real intention of Mexico is involved in uncertainty, and it seems as probematical as ever whether war will be declared.

for he Banner. TO THE DEMOCRATS OF ARKANSAS


 If there were no parties in our countrv- II all questions of organic construction, and administrative policy were fully settled, and our elections were made, alone, in reference to the qualifications of candidates. then n- deed might CONVENTIONS, of the char acter under discussion, be Unnecessary. But, two great, destinctive, political parties do now exist, and have existed, ill this country. since the Revolution. IL is needless, at this day, to write their history, or define their positions. They are as well known as if written upon Heavens wide arch, in charac- ters that the world might read The demo- cratic party has taken its stand upon the broad doctrines of the Declaration of nde- pendence-that all men are born free and equal-that all the just powers of goven- ment are derived from the people, with whom original sovereignty rests-that no more pow CTS should be delegated by them, than may be necessary for the ends of government; and in the construction of the constitution of the United States, and in the administration of government, these and other kindred prin- ciples, are kept sacredlv in view Whatever errors the party may have committed in re- ference to questions of mere policy, there can be but little donbt but that the democratic party has prevented this government from becoming aristoefaac It has preserved the old landmarks of liberty for which our la- thers bled, and secured to the American peo- pie the sacred boon of popular rights This may De saying more than our opponants are disposed to concede, but have now no con troverSy with whigs, 1t is to the democracy that l would address these remarks. Our party is now in the ascendency, and, we be- lleve, rightly.

 No. 1. TEXAS ANNEXED-ITS EFFECTS UPON ARKANSAS.
BY C. W. ?.

IL was assumed by many of the opponents of annexation, that the measure would give emigration q more Southward direction, and would therefore tend to cheapen Arkansas lands But we think we showed, in our last number, that emigration, like water will in due time find its own proper level And that as carollary, Texas must principally be settled with cotton planters from the wealthy States At the same time 1t must be admit ted, that the principal part of Arkansas Is better adapted to the growth of grain, and the raising of stock than to any other employ ment. The abundant circulation of money. which followed the early emigration of the Indians, and the establishment of the kite system of Banking, had a tendency to pro- duce idle habits, and a distaste for selling productions, unless al very high price The consequence wa, that farmers rather dilapidated than improved. We are recover ing, however, from this false step; and our recovery when attained, will be substantial. It has often been rejected by the people of Arkansas, that there was little encouragement 10 labor for want of market. And because no great city has sprung up in our midst to
 
 of the farmers, many have seemed to con conclude that they are to look no farther for market The recent more liberal course adopted by the commdnders on our frontier ot purchasing their supplies from the sur rounding country, rather than importing it from distance, is calculated, in some de- gree, to overcome this objection. But this Is only partial and very partial market hose who have relied on 1t, will find them- selves as widely mistaken, as those who sup- pose that the erection of manufacturinq establishment or two, would consume all the surplus products in the country We should rely upon ho ephemeral theories or avenues; but we should at once look to the outlets. which nature has opened to us, and prepare ourselves permanently to thrive by them.
 It Is an old trujsm, that Sno people are so far from market as those who have notbiug to sell,o A more valuable commentary on this Is no where to be found, than in the fact that the people of Arkansas see thousands of horses pass through their State every year. which are profitably sold in the planting dis trlcts of Louisiana, while very few diminu- tive animals are sent abroad by our own cit lzens. More than three thousand Missouri horses and mules have crossed the Arkansas rlyer within the last year, at our own town. These have principally been sold ill Louisiana. When we consider that Texas has five times as much sugar and cotton lands as Louisiana, its easy to see that the greatly increased de-! mand for such animals will render the stock raising business, in Arkansas, exceedingly profitable.
 A great many of the planters now scat tered through the Carolinas, Georgia, Mis- sisslppl and Alabama, will presently be con centrated, in the rich districts of Texas Kentucky and Tennessee have heretofore supplied these old States with stock-and

REPuplArloN.-We would be much sur prised at any time to know that the people et this State intended to repudae State la- bilities, constiiuiionally and legally entered into But surely it would be matter of deep astonishment for the policy of repudia,ing private debts to obtain; and we cannot be- heve the rumor that portion of our North ern population intend 10 force that question upon their candidates for the Legislature. The Bank of the State al Batesvlle has sued many of the citizens in that region-they have ebeyed the summons. and subn itted their cases to the decision of jury, and as far as weare informed, they have been satisfied with the verdict This is no repudiation-no ai- tempt to disturb the proper administration of the laws-and what could have given exis- tence to the rumor we are uninformed--bu if there should be such an attempt in con- ,emplation-we hope for the reputation of the State--lor the credit of her people-and for everything consistent with good govern ment, that they will discard the idea, and prove to the world, that the people of this State will be the last 10 repudiate private lia- bilities

MEXICO-WAR! WAR /!

It is true that Mexico has hlustered, and threatened much about war It is true that her high functonaries have issued pompous documents, breathing high sounding brava- dos. and commanding the military chieftalns and subalterns to prepare for war It is true that the President and Minister of war have recommended to Congress declaration oi war Itis true that it is rumored that the pug. nacous power has sent her mnions to scatter along the Rio Grande, thick as the frogs ot Egypt It Is true that General Gaines has also become somewhat bristly, made requisition for troops upon the Governor of Louisiana, that the brave Governor met the call promptly, issued his proclamation, and the gallant peo- pie of the State instantly volunteered, and trade up more than the number wanted It IS true that requisition for accoutrements has been made upon the Arsenal at this place, and that Maj, Butler has promptly forwarded them! It Is equally true that there are few thousand hardy, brave boys in Arkansas that would like exceedingly well to hold Mili- tary discourse with the Mexicans whenever 1t suits their convenience! But still there is vet no war; There is only fulfment of that scripture which says, there shall be ru- mors of war We confess however, that the cloud which Mexico has brewed, though com posed mostly ofdustand yapour, begins to look like it may contain few sparks of electricity But we are emphatically the lightning ta- mers We make post boys of heavens here tofore untaimable fires We say if Mexico wishes 1t, we are for war We wait not for formal declataton of war just let Mexi- can put hostile foot in Texas-let one fire gun across the Rio Grande, yea, let him throw a stone, crook his finger, or wink his eye, and our rihemen will make him smell powder.
 It seems that after the proposition to de- clare war was communicated to the Mexican Congress, they had to vote a loan of S15,- 000,000 as a preparatory step. An !! there IS the rub. Where is that amount of money to come from The people of Mexico will not stand levy for the purpose She has no credit abroad If she does not declare war until she borrows that sum of money, the people of Texas may grow several crops in the meantime

Gov. Yell to the Senate of the United States. In looking to every division of the State we find the same language used by all those who are opposed to him-itis used by few about the Capital--it was commenced every where about the same time. IL is therefore a system which has for it's sole object the de- feat of Gov Yell If this is not the object of the Editor as well as those who talk and write like him, no man can use the old adage with more propriety than Gov Yell-"Saye me from my friends, l can take care of my enemies" But there can be no doubt upon the subject, and the sooner the Editor throws off the disguise that now surrounds him the better for democracy and the country.

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE TARIFF OF RussiA.-Fhe "London League" of the 18th nlt-, says :--ssThe Russian government has lust'lssued ukase taking of the prohibition from many articles of merchandise. and fixing the duties, on payment of which they may HOW be admitted. Those duties are gener- ally high. They apply principally to bron- zes, marbles, clocks and watches, fine hard ware, mercery, silks, engravings, richly bound books, music, and other articles of luxury. Hitherto the oleaginous seeds, ca bles, and henpen ropes, and other vegetable matters grown and manufactured in Russia. have been burdened with very heavy export duties, which, by .he new tariff, are entire " taken oii..n

DESTRUCTION OF THE Bay OF, IsLANEs.- A correspondent of the Boston Post, writing from Nantucket, July 15, says:
 !" By the Monticello, at this port, yester day, from the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, which place she left March 13, we have in telligence that the natives had attackted the settlement at the Bay of Islands, occupied mostly by the English, and burnt the town. In the attack by the natives, about 40 whites were killed, and the former retained posses sion of the ground small English sloop of war was there, whose captain and several men were wounded. An American sloop of war was also there, but did not interfere. Mir. Cendmg, the English cosul, was not injured. This intelligence is brought by Mrs. Swain, the widow of an American Cap tain Swain, who, with her effects and son. fled on board the Monticello for safety. and has arrived here. These occurrences took place the day before the Monticello sailed."
 We learn from the Nantucket Inquirer, that Capt. Roberts, of the English sloop of war, was supposed to be morally wounded The Sergeant of Marines, and number of the ships company were killed. On the l2th of March, the English sloop of war Hazard, and whale ship Matilda, sailed for Auckland the seat of government, with part of the inhabitants: the 18th, the U. s. ship st Louis sailed from the above port with the remainder.

FLoRiDa.-Fhe Legislature of the young State ol Florida is rapidly progressing with their arduous and responsible duties, in or ganizing the State Government. \ number of bills have been introduced into the Legis- lature, and among others, bill to raise the necessary revenue for the support of Govern ment; also bill ..to regulate, restrain, and control a certain association, called the Uni on Bank of Florida, claiming to exercise cor porate privileges, so as 10 guard, protect, and secure the interests of the people of the State, and for other purposes.8 From this and the report of the Committee on Banks, it Is evi- dent that the Democracy of our sister State, are determined to assume a correct position in the outset, in relation to banking institu- tions and other privileged corporations. We have room only for the concluding para graph the report:
 'sThe Committee deem the only duty yet unfulGlled by the People of Florida, in re- gard 10 these Banks and faith bonds, is to see that they do justice to their creditors, wind up their affairs, and cease to exist To have this done, the General Assembly are morally and legally public Trustees for all parties. The State Constitution makes it our duty to act, and to act at this session. We should be faithless to our trustand duty, if we neglect so to do. As 1t respects the Union Bank, this duty is fulfilled by the pass age of the bill now reported. It winds mp the bank IL deprives it of the franchise of banking. It provides for the settlement of it's affairs. The interests of all parles-ol the public, of the State, of the stockholders and debtors of the hank, of the creditors, bona fde bond holders as well as others, are all looked to, and the Committee believe no violation of vested rights has been commit- ted, and the obligation of contracts has not been impaired. The corporation cannot be at once totally abolished; nor till the bonds and mortgages, given to secnre the faith bonds, are due, which is not till 1868. But it IS disrobed of its usurped and abused pow CTS and privileges, forfeited 10 the State, and abrogated by the change of government, if they ever legally existed. It is placed in a position where, by a course of probitY, pru- dence and economy, the reputation of all concerned may yet be redeemed, their inter ests preserved, and the honor of the State sa- ved from impeachment. The Committee pur- pose reporting other bills, necessary as to other Territorial Corporations. :"
