both sides by the tendency of this unfortunate dis
turbIng and dangerous controversy.
1t is not case in which either Government should
stand on matters of form or etiquette. The inter-
ests at stake are too important for that. 1t is not
humiliation it is not condescension even for either
Government to snify to the other its readiness to
do at once what it sees must be done ultimately.
Thus far, the dispute does not touch the honor of
either Government. Let, then, the proptious mo-
ment be seized; let "andor, and fairness and pru-
dence rae the hour; and let these two great nations
be restored to the full enjoyment ofther vast, useful
and harmonious intercourse.

" Our friend, the Marshall Statesman, has
correspondents Detroit whose sap-iency is quite
remarkable. Not long since we noticed in one of
his letters curious complement to the Senators who
changed their votes on reconsideration of the Sale
Bill and thus permitted to pass. In that he imputed
sundry rascally virtues, such as fear &c. to those
members, and also with great nairette made the con-
fesslon, that the amendments. which induced them
to change their votes, really beneficial o the
company, and could serve them but as excuses,
VI this fact no could Doubt but 1t rather belong

sale to urge it against these gentlemen. At any
rate, we would rather burn-n efigy; than be thus
complemented by one whose views we had helped to

with several precious confessions, which sound most
strangely, coming from the pen of advocate of the
Bill as follows:
'its provisions will become operative upon the cor-
porators so they signify their acceptance of
the same. But little doubt seems to be entertained
as to their accepting it-still there may be some.

STRONGLY to favor the claims and preten-
sions of England, will not produce much

Mr.. HANNEGAN, OF lA.--This Senator
has entitled himself to the compliment oil
"welI done lhou good and faithful servant,
from the people of all parts of the Union
for his bold, manly, and patriotic course on
the Oregon question--as have also Messrs
Allen, of o., Cass, Ashley, Of Ark's, Atchi.
son, of Mo-, &c. Would We could say as
much for either of the Mississippi Senators.
One of them has received the censure. d-
rect or implied, Of almost every democratic
press in the State, whilst tho other has
been id with faint praise" by few
whig papers. Although Mr.. Hannegpn
is not so oppressed with assumed dignity,
or SO pulled up with self importance, as
some other Senators, he is nevertheless an
Ajax, and no g little Ajax" either, in the
righteous and patriotic cause he sustans.

whelmning majority Of the people; and

SOUTHERN LITERARY MEssENGER.-The
April number has been on our table for Sc
veral days, but we have not had time to
give more than glance at Its contents.
One article of practical nature, on " A
Retired List for the Navy" we have read.
We disapprove of the suggestions of the
writer. The idea that this government
will consent to maintain "retred list" oil
idle old paupers, who have for a long course
Of years held easy stations in the Navy, at
princeiy salaries, is preposterous in the
highest degree. If Naval officers become
too old and deerepid to discharge the du.
ties of their stations, let them be turned
out, and live, as other old men do, on the
savings from the incomes of former years
The certainty that this would be the case,
would engender better habits, and better
morals, among the officers.
The Messenger always contains some
thing useful and entertaining, and we cor
daily recommend it to the patronage of the
public.

MExIco.--Thc New Orleans papers con
tain the correspondence between Mr.. Sli

the accession Of Presidon, Paredes. The
letters Of the Mexican Secretary are but
repetition Of the groundless charges of in.
justice, aggression and bad faith against ouI

Boned with the usual Quixotic gasconade.
Mr.. Slidel replies to these offensive and
insulting letters with much moderation,
and, In a manner highly creditable TO him
self, puts the conduct Of this government
in It's true light. The Secretary declares
that the government Of Paredes "Iooks

--AH must agree that every honorable
means for the amicable establishment OF
friendly relations, has been exhausted
that "the United States has now no alter
native but the universal contempt Of man-

and vigorous war against Mexico" As

is laid before Congress, we may expect
some definite action.
