Our Position.

We are Of the number, as our readers
are aware. who were opposed to the an
nexation of Texas, upon the ground that
the United States had no need Of that ter
ritory, and that by incorporating it into
the Union the "area" of slavery would
be extended and the nation probably in
volved in War. Thus much we predicted
before the act of annexation was consum-
mated, and what we then looked upon
as probable event has already come to
pass. The present war with Mexico is
the result of the act providing for the an
nexaiion of Texas and Of the measures
taken by our government TO render that
annexation complete. But, although we
and the Wings in general, especially those
of the northern and middle States, were
opposed to the Texas scheme, now, that
that scheme has been adopted by major
ity Of the Peoples Representatives, and
thereby become national matter, we
deem it our duty and the duty of all citi
zens Of whatever party, to stand by the
nation in the difficulties into which she
has been plunged, though the responsible
ty of those difficulties and of whatever
sacrifice Of lives and treasure that may
arise out of them must rest upon the
heads of those who conceived and of those
who consummsted that project.

Canal Commissioners.

The Office Of Canal Commissioner has
got TO be one of the most important Off
ces in the Commonwealth. The board
have large and discretionary powers.
which of necessity are exerted either for
good or for evil to the taxpayers, who
must always make up deficiencies when
ever any occur in the State Treasury
When the people through their Repre-
sentatives, decided that the Board should
be elected, it was with the object and un-
derstanding Of making the Office rotative,
go that new member should be elected
each year, though no provision was made
against reelection. This omission in the
law has been taken advantage of by those
who control the Democratic party, and
Mr.. Foster, who goes out of Office next
fall, nominated for second term. Had
that party taken new man, they might
perhaps have urged his election with
some degree OF plausIollity, PROVIDED ne
were capable. But aside from the consid-
Grafton that the Wings are justly entitled to
their share in the management of the pub
lie works, the nomination of Mr.. Foster
was highly improper, as running counter
to the long-established Democratic prin-
ciple of rotation in ofice''-and under
these circumstances we think we may
safely urge the election of Mr.. Power,
the Wing nominee, i'll the hope and ex-
pectation ofseeing him elected. Let the
Wings bestir themselves in time, SO that
they may be prepared to act effectively
when then the time for action arrives.

The war News.

We publish to-day highly important
intelligence from the Army. Our troops,
il will be seen, have been victorious-and
it is TO be hoped that Gen. Taylor will ere
this time have received fresh supplies of
men and provisions. The country is
aroused, and soon there viii be no lack of
forces on the Rio Grandc. All minor
matters and considerations are laid aside,
and the whole nation is united, as one
man, in maintaining our country's honor
and soon the Mexican Government viii
lave cause &C regret having ever unshesth-
ed the sword agslnrt the United States.

Renuisition for Volunteers

We learn that the President of the l.
nited States has made requisition upon
Gov. Skunk for six Regiments Pennsyl-
yania Volunteers. This number VIC think
will be readily furnished, and many more
we have no doubt, will be anxious to turn
out. An opportunity is thus now offord-
ed to our young men to distinguish them
selves on the battlefield.

into Point Isabel on the evening of the
2Sth ult., from his desperate encounter
with the Mexicans, had volunteered to
carry despatcnes to Gen. Taylor. We
now learn by the N. Y. that in that des-
perate attempt-so desperate as to be
thought fool hardy-he fully succeeded.
Gen Taylor learned from him the critical
situation in which Point Isabel was .pla-
ced, and the iminent danger of its being
carried by an everpowering force of the
Mexicans. He promptly determined up
on a movement which should protect
Point Isabel, and re-establish his commu-
nication with his supplies. Accordingly
the evening of Friday, the lst instant, he
left his camp opposite Matamoras, with
the main body of his forces. determined
to cut his way through, leaving behind
him for the defence of tee works opposite
Matamoras between 700 and 500 troops.
This movement of Gen. Taylor upon
Point Isabel was effected without en-
countering single Mexican.

returning to Point Isabel the afternoon Of
the 9Th. He reported that the Mexicans
commenced an attack upon it in front the
morning of Sunday, the Sd, with all their
batteries from the opposite side of the
river, and simultaneously with detach-
ment Of their forces on this side the Rio
Grande,. in the rear. The Americans
hoty returned the fire. The attack in
the rear was Immediately repulsed, and
in less than thirty minutes the Mexican
batteries were siIenced, and the city of
Matamoras battered down. The loss to
the Mexicans in the action is va
riously set down. While no account
makes it less than 200. the latest report
in regard to it, which we find in the Gal
weston News, carries it as high as 700.
The Americans lost single man, it is
said, who was killed by a shell. None
were wounded. The town of Matamoras
is a complete ruin; there are scarcely
houses enough left standing to serve as
hospitals for the wounded.

A correspondent of the National intell-
gencer, writing from New Orleans under
date of May IL, says about sixteen hum
dred men had then been mustered into
service at that place. Three steamboats,
full of volunteers had left within the for
ty-eight hours preceding, and it was pre-
sumed no draft of men would be requir-
ed.

By the arrival of the Steamship New
York at New Orleans, we have glorious
news, which was sent forward by express
from that city, until it overlook the regu-
lar mail. The fame Of the American Ar
my has been signally vindicated with a
force SO vastly inferior and disproportion-
ed, that the greatest anxiety has pervaded
every American heart for the safety of
our gallant little band. They have no.
bly, turned upon our enemies and gained a
greai, glorious, triumphant victory Capt
Walker, Of the Texas Rangers, who ar
rived on the 5th in the afternoon, from
the entrenchment opposite Matamoras,
reports as follows;
San engagement had taken place be-
tween the United States and Mexican
forces. Gen. Taylor on the evening of
the Sd; made sortie with detachment
for the purpose of opening a communica-
ton between Isabel and the encampment.
On the morning the 4th, the Mexicans
taking advantage of his absence, at day
break opened heavy fire and canonade
on the entertainments, which was gallant
ly returned by the U. S. Troops, and
in thirty minutes silenced the enemy's
batteries, reducing the city of Matamoras
to ashes
The slaughter amongst tho Mexicans
was tremendous; upwards Of 700 lay dead
upon the field! The number of houses
was not sufficient to accomodate the
wounded Mexicans.
In and about MatamoIas there were
5000 Mexican traops, and reinforccments
were daily expected.
Gen. TAYLOR was TO leave Point Isabel
on the 9th. with all the troops he could
commrnd to open and keep clear the COM
munication between the Point and the
army.
Major Ringgold, of the Flying Artillery
commended the American camp during
the engagement. Our army, of course,
were in the highest spirits.
The only communication made be-
tween Point Isabel and thecamp,had been
that forced by Capt. Walker.
The single American killed during the
bombardment of Matamors, was by the
explosion Of shell.
The American camp has been most
strongly constructed. The Mexican
fire had not the least effect upon it.
Captain Walker, of the Texas Rangers
is spoken of as having acted very gallant
ly in his efforts to open communication.
He had his horse shot under him.
The cheering intelligence will go forth
over the union. carrying joy to every
heart
Every lover of his country and friend
of peace, may equally rejoice at the sig
nal victory as covering our name with
glory, and Fastening the prospect of a
happy peace.
