POSTSCRIPT.
WAR WITH MEXICO.

England has persuaded Mexico 10 60 t
war with us. That the war will be prose
cuted with vjgor we do not believe. But II
the declaration. The news is by the N. 0
Jelarsonian Republican of Aug 6:
OFFICE OF WAR AND MARINE.
SECTION OF OPERATIONS.
CRCULAR.-The United States have con.
sumatod the perfdy against Mexico, by sane.
lionng The decree which declares the an,
neXalon ofthe department Of Texas 10 that
Republic.
The injustice Of that usurpaton is appa-
rent, and Mexico cannot tolerate such grave
injury without making an effort to prove to
the United States the possibility of her Obl-
lily 10 cause her rights to be respected.
With this object the Supreme Govern
ment has resolved upon declaration oil war
against that power, seeing that our forbeaI-
ance, instead Of being received as proof
of our friendly disposition, has been inter-
prcted into an acknowledged impossibility on
our part to carry on a successful war;
Such an error on the part of the United
States will De advantageous to Mexico, be-
cause, suddenly abandoning its pacific atli-
tude, it will tomorrow communicate 10 Con.
gress the declaration of wa, and excite the
patriotism ofts citizens to sustain the digni-
iy Of the nation and the integrity of its ter
rlory, now treachelousy attacked, in utter
disregard of all guarantees recogn zed in this
enlightened age.
You will readily appreciate the Importance
of this subject, aud the necessity of prepa-
ring the troops under your command 80 march
toward any place which may require protec-
lion against these most unjust agressjons.

to cnJoln upon you, as genera-in-chcf OF
your division, and as citizen of this repub-
lie, to hold yourself in readiness to rcpcl
those who seek the ruin Of Mexico.
The government is occupied in covering
the different points on the tIonticrs, and in
collecting the necessary means so that moth

will be to defend the sacred rights of their
country.

The BAIrIsIr Reviewers ON THE OREGON

HE BAITIsu REVIEWERS ON THE ORECo,
QUEsTIoN.-The British Quarterly Revic
wers of all sizes, have been following up the
discussion on the Oregon question, com
monced by Sir Robert Peel and the news
paper press some month ago. They general.
ly assume til. same ground adopted by Sir
Robert Peel, contendng for certain inde-
tinDble right TO the Oregon territory, which
they find it somewhat difficult 10 explain Or
present in any tangible and ineligible form.
One view taken by these reviewers is very
curious and amusing, and that is, they as.
sumo as an axiom that this country must er
neceSSitas, be content with any arrangement
which Great Britain may choose 10 mike in
its infinite charity and uncrrng justice, be-
cause the United States are not iii a cond;-
ton to go to war with England; because we
have neither navies, nor guns, nor men, nor
powder, nor money, nor anything else able
TO cope with the British. 1t may be that
we have not the means TO go into action of
a warlike character as rapidly as the British,
but we have certain materials Of warfare
which can be employed at once, and prove
very ellicionl instruments of assault and de-
fGnco-and these materials we fiud in our
cotton. We can suspend the supply of cot
ton to the British manufacturers, and where
would be their boastcd ability TO 90 TO wal
with us with revolution in the very centre
of their empire?
There is no danger 10 be apprehended
fom the British government, on the score

BANKERS NO TAXED,

Let each mlD, as he phys over to the col
lector the tax upon his hard earned land
and cot, and which is barely sufficient to keep
him fiom the inclemencies of the wealth
ar, bear in mind that the banker, by law OF
last winter, is not taxed for the thousands he
mly have in the vaults of the bank, (by
which through the exclusiveness of chartered
privileges,) he is wrestling from the down
lroddcn and oppressed his thousands in the
way of discounts and profits. BY the rule
of special privilege, which mikes the rich
he can sit in his back bank parlor, and snapp-
ing his fingers at the taxgather, say to him,
"sir, have thousands of dollars in the vaul
beside me, but the wise legislators of last
winter, carrying out the doctrine that " "the
laws should protect the rich, and the rich
protect the poor" exempted my property
from tribute; while the poor mechanic next
door is taxed nearly double, 10 allow me to
furnish a currency for these ignorant, poor
people. Pass on, slm H. passes on, and
as he takes from the next poor man he meets
his hard earnings as tax 10 support the 60
vernment, if he is an honest, feeling man, he
will tell him of the injustice Of a law which,
while it grinds the poor man in the dust by
oppres ssive assessments and taxation, grants
special privileges Of exemption 10 the " rich
and the well born" Let the poor man
pom Ter upon thes1 ;hings, and then remember
that the democrats stand pied gcd 10 a reform
of this gross injustice 10 the honest yeomanry

INFORMATION FROM MExTco.--A private
letter was received in this city, by the last
southern mail from Texas, west Of the Nue.
ces, dated July 2jlh, and stating that the
Mexicans really were concentrating provi-
sions and munitions of war at Maiamoras as
fast as possible, and also troops at Monterey.
The writers Of this letter are engaged in the
Mexican trade, and communicate at least
weekly with Mltamoras. They are not like
ly 10 be deceived in this matter, for their fa-
ciIties for obtaining correct information are
known to be equally as good, if not better,
than those of any other persons in Texas;
and their experience with the frontier Mexi-
cans is such, that they can hardly be deceiv-

MORE TROOPS FOR TExAs.-Ordcrs were
received on Saturday, requiring Captain Dun
can, at Fort Hamilton, 4 few miles below
New York, TO be in readiness at a moments
warning, with his company Of flying artillery,
to march for Texas. 1t will require two
small vessels to transport this company with
their horses. Their destination is the mouth
of the Arkansas. Captain Ringold, at Fort
Mcflenry, is chartering vessel to transport
his troops TO the slme des'inlton; but they
will not be prepared to start for some days
yet.--BaH. Sun.

THE WoRM.-We hear much com
pant from different farmers about the dep
relation of the grub-worm-on some farms
njuring 10 a considerable extent the coTn-
in others the grass and potatoes. 1t is re-
m1rkabIo that in many grass lots the roots
have been completely destroyed TO within an
inca of the surface, and the soil can be raised
with as much ease as though i has been pre-
viously spaded up and replaced. This is the
case with lot we tried in the south end OF
or town--a patch Of potatoes also in the
same lot are being literally destroyed, 700,

MOVEMENTS OF THE BRITIsH-We learn
from good authority, that the British have a
steam war-ship Of the largest size laid up a,
Penct anguishine, about 200 miles from
Mackinac, with full crew in attendance,
ready 10 sail her at any moment. They
have had but one company there until re-
Gently. They now have two full regiments
of Highland dragons, and have enlarged and
fortified more strongly the barracks at that
place.
Until lately, the British have been in the
habit of paying our Indians Gnn1ities. But
government protested against it, and broke
it up, The Indians have heretofore lived on
Drummond's Island, American territory
But now they have nearly all moved TO the
Mantoulno Islands, the property Of Great
Britain, where they are fed and clothed, and
provided with arms and ammunition by Bri-
tish officers.
On the Mani'oulinc islands, there are now
from three to four thousand Indian warriors
Upon these facts, at this time, there can
be but one opinion formed as to the Ultimate.

MORE FANATIcIsM.-Three men, by the names
of Garner, Lorain and Thomas, citizens of Wash.
ington Co., Ohio, have been seized on the Ohio
shore, by body, Of men from Virginia, and lodg.
ed in Jail in Parkersburg, Virginia, upon the charge
that they had aided the escape of slaves 1t is
not claimed that they had been into Virginia, to
induce the slaves to escape, but were merely as
sisting them after they had reached the Ohio shore.
At the examination held in this case, the court
claimed to have jurisdiction on the Ohio river to
the top of the north west bank, and upon this
claim remanded these men back to prison and
refused bail. 1t is unnecessary to say this deci-
sion is not law, the latest decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States having fixed the bound
ary at low water mark. This cause of excite
nent will doubtless be ended by the discharge of
these men by the Virginia Superior Court in Sep.
tember next for want of Jurisdiction. Atpresent
the transaction aids the very cause the friends ol
Slavery design to put down.

" The Wayne County Standard, has
taken a wrong stand against G. B. FLOOD
Esq. We know of no young man in Ohio,

this gentleman; and for man who cons i'd

WORTH KNow1NG.--The N. Y. Tribune
says, " we are Informed that the Account

longing to Crocker s. Warren have been re-
covered, having suffered no farther injury
from the Fl than the total erasure of all
entries made in blue ink, while those mlde
in blank were uniformly legible," This fact.
though to some uninporant, is deserving of
examination and if true should be generally
known.

INTERMARRIAGEs AND INsAN1rY.--The-

subject, designed to show that intermarriage

the race, and often lead to insanity. Ii is
shown that the Catholic countries, where
such marriages are interdicted, cases of in
sanity are very rare, while in Protestant
countries they are of frequent occurrence.

INDIAN RELArIoNs.-The Albany Argus ad-
verts to the progress of civilization among the
Choctaw and Cherokee indians, and suggests the
propriety of Organizing them into territory and
ultimately into state. We perceive nothing wrong
in the proposition. These tribes have made large
advances in civilization and sclf-government, and
if the fiat of utter extinction has not been pro.
nounced against the race, this is the only means
10 prevert their ultimate determination. Their
present position not continue permanently
they have republican institutons,-they are or
iginal natives of the soil-why should fraternity
be denied them!
The united population of the Choctaws
and Cheokecs, says the Argus, "nearly
equals the number of people requisite for
admission as a state; and at first it was
thought best to bring both "nations' together
in this way, rather than attempt the erection
Of each into separate territories, with refer
ence to future state rights, under our feder-
al system. But the increasing numbers of
the Choctaws, and other considerations which
may be imnagned, will induce that people
at least TO seek for separate admission as
territory" in the confidence that they will
possess adequate population when the time
arrives for asking admission as "sate."-
Indeed, it is already understood that formal
application will be made to Congress, in
fitherance of this policy on the par, of the
Choctaws: And it may be presumed that
the Cherokees will not be backward in pre-
ferring similar claims, seeing the contest they
have long maintained for independence as
apeople."

The DEMOCRATIC Review for July and August
comes to us rich in Intellectual treasures, and with
Its price as Democratic its principles. 1t is re-
duoed from S. per annum to So, price which
places it within the reach Of all who have taste
for elegant literature. We are sincerely glad OF
this change. The Review is acknowledged to
stand at the head of ofAmerican magazine literature,
and in the argeness of its views for humanity
and the reasoning practical wisdom of its political
papers it is decidedly preferable to the English
periodicals. Sufficiently radical to be the fit organ
of party of progress, it aims at that enlightened
conservatism, which yields up to the axe those
errors and abuses which time developes. 1t ad-
heres to old principles with a steadtast tenacity
when change would be injurious to the people.

IRELAND.-The agitation in Ireland is catering

in worse than the desttu,ion Of savage life. They
are willing to labor, if that would get them bread,
but can get neither. Such a state of things can
not much longer continue.

author Of the Reform Bill, is dead. He struck

| PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.-Now when we must COM
bat Federalism, possessed not only of the egslat-
i've and executive power of the state, but armed
with the massive influence of associated wealth.
to succeed, men must be an object subservient to
principle. With these odds against us, unable
to brbe expectation with promised wealth and
dleness, relying on truth alone, we have right
to expect, that where the interests OF democracy
requires it individual preferences will be yiclIed
for the general good. Questions of the fitness of
men concern but few and are of minor considera-
ton, while the of principle is of first inn
portance to all. The rewards of office are limit
ed and many must of necessity be disappointed
Merit, from ignorance or other accidental causes,
may be overlooked, while inferiority walks sue
cesstu, but this is loss to society which she
will seldom fail 10 repair. We would never re-
commend the resignation of correct principle at
the shrine of party, but personal preferences
should give way to the will of the majority in the
spirit of the old republican, who thanked Heaven
that there were better men found to serve his
country than himself Party is the engine by
which we make our united opinions powerful to
the working Of reform, and he who for trivial
causes does his part to destroy that united power,
is generally actuated by disappointed selfshness,
or feels but little desire for the success of the
principles he processes.
