Mr.. EDITOR. do not believe in

it would be to the public, in particular
to some Of US, to take up several more use

power to do justice TO some of our friends

Four Days Later from Europe.
ARRIVAL OF THE PACKET SHIP LIBERTY
HIGHLY IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE
SIR ROBERT PEEL RESIGNED-FOR-
NATION OF A NEW MINISTRY BY
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

BY the arrival Of the packet ship Glib
erty" we have adyces from Liverpool to
Dec. 18th.
The news is important. The Peel Min
istry has res; gned, and new Cabinet has
been organized by Lord John Russell.
Parliament was prorogued TO the Both
December.
RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY.
Sir Rober! Peel's government is at an
end. All the members Of his Cabinet yes
terday rendered their resignation, which
her Majesty was pleased TO accept.
The important fact now announced
proves how completely wrong the Times
was when it stated that the Government
had decided upon proposing TO Parliament,
as Cabinet measure, the repeal of the
Corn laws London Herald, Dec. II.
THE NEW MINISTRY.
p Immediately upon the refusal Of the
DUKE of Wellington, on Friday last, to
carry out what he had agreed lo-namely,
to propose a repeal of the corn laws in the
House ofLords-it become apparent that
resignation Of Office by Sir Robert Peel
must follow. Lord John Russell was rec
commended TO be sent for here, and mes.
senger was despatched on Saturday last to
command his attention at Osborne House.
This morning Lord John Russell and
Sir Robert Peel had an interview of an
hours duration, after which Lord John
Russell left town for Cowes. He had an
audience Of her Majesty, and has returned
10 town this evening, having had full pow
ers given him 10 form a government. He
has sent for Lord Palmerston, and is ia
king all the necessary steps TO form an ad-
ministration.- London Sun, December
1lth.
The nation, by the resignation OF Minis
ters, is in much more serious dilemma
than many persons seem 10 think. Sir
Robert Peel, it SIS runlored, differs from the
majority of his colleagues on q measure
that touches the vitality of the country: and
finding himselfso situated he throws up the
reins of government and retIres. The
landed interest, as it is called, would have
almost insurmountable difficulties in FORM
ing an administration TO carry out their
views.
Our opinion is, that a dissolution Of Par
liamen, must be the result, followed i'm
medialely by general election. In this
case the nation at large will be called up
on 10 decide The great question at issue
Much Inconvenience TO many parties must
ensue, particularly to those connected with
bills; but we are far from believing that the
Inconvenience Of delay for six or eight
weeks, may not be salutary to the couatry
generally.
How all this is to influence US, polit.
ically, in our 'open question with Eng
land" remains to be seen. The London
Sun says:
Should war take place with America.
neither Aberdeen nor Haddngton could
have carried it on with the spiri, and skill
suited 10 such a serious contest. The
downfall of this Heterogeneous Cabinet
will be the worst news for Polk that he has
received since his ins,alm n, into Office

lPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
Revolution AT LAsr-WARL1KE Now
MENTS.

REvoLUTIoN AT LAsr-WARLIKE Now
MENTs.
From the N. o. Picayune, 9th inst.
BY the Mexican schooner "Joaquina,"
Martinez, master, which left Tampco on
the lst inst, we have late and important
intelligence from Mexico. The rumors
which have been for some weeks in circu-
lation, that Paroles had at last declared a.
ganst the government, appear at length
likely TO be verified by the course he is
pursuing. A revolution is now on !oot, or
has already been consumated.
The revolution in progress commenced
with the "Army Of reserve" stationed at
San Luis Potosi. On the 18th Dec, the
Commandment General Of the Department,

dence at San Luis Potosi the superior ard

Being there assembled, Gen. Romeo read

sion, in which the duties Of the armed force
Of the country are well pointed out, bat
grave political events are assigned to ex-
cuse themselves for the act they commit.

FROM MEXICO.

We gave some important details, in las,
evenings Union. from the "New Orleans
Picayune," (via Tampico,) Of the revolu-
t'onary movements in Mexico. We under
stand that these statements are substantially
confirmed by the official accounts. A ru.
NOR has gone forth in the streets Of Wash.
ington to-day, which these accounts do
net conf'm-v;z: that Mexico has declared
war agains, the United States. War may
ersue, but it has not yet been declared, as
far as we are advised. Mexico may be
mad enough TO resort TO this extremity,
or to reject all our demands for justice, as
they will probably be urged by Mr.. Slidell.
The result of such course on her part
may compel US to resort TO more decisive
measures for obtaining juslice.-[Wash-
ington Union.

GOING WEST, OR, RATHER, TO
THE GRAVE YARD.

GOING WEST, OR, RATHER, TO
THE GRAVE YARD.
From an address, recently delivered be-
fore a Lyceum, in Concord N. H., by Pro-
fessor Hadduck, Of Dartmouth College, we
take the following extract:
ale said, one half Of those who emigra-
ted West, soon found a grave in the soil
from which they had dreamed of digging
gold, and the majority of the other half
would have been better off had they remain
ed among the granite rocks of their nalive
state ;"
All .rue-and strange the public do not
feel convinced oft. Last week we chron-
icled the recent deccase of three individu-
ais at the west, not long since resident OF
Lyndon. And the eastern papers this sea.
| son have abounded with notices of persons
dying out wes-emgrants from New Eng
land-who a short time since, left their
homes-their healthlul and invigorating eli
mate-thcir free schools-their churches
their kindred-all for the privilege ofdying
among strangers and Of being borne 10
'their long home' by strangers, 10 rest in a
strange soil-unwep,-for no one knew
them. We but state the opinion Of some
intelligent persons when we say that one
bali of the emigrants to the West from N
England die during the first four years alter
their arrival there and many that live longer
live but TO have life shaken out Of them by
inches, bv ague and iever-and who 90 a.
bout with Cadaverous countenances-look-
ing as if death had mortgage upon their
mortal ma md axDor,in,y ri
notice ola foreclosure.
And as 10 the matter of getting property,
The west is not the place-not so good as
the state ofVermont. The present season
while money has been comparatively plenty
here at u per cent, it has commanded 10,
IL and ID in many places West. What
does this prove? That it is a hard article
TO be obtained-and that the Yves, is the
last place to 60 to in order to get money.
Tue, they raise large crops-but their large
crops do not put so much money in the pock-
ct as do small crops in Vermont.
But A, B. aud c., says some, who have
gone West have done well. That may all
be true. We hear much of the few who do
well-the many who do badly, are seldom
mentioned.
No place in The world offers stronger in
ducemonts to young men who want farms,
than the state of Vermont If they want
new land they can find it in Orleans Coun-
ty-rich and good. If they want farms, they
can find them in any northern county of the
State,-good ones ioo--and on which the
man can make money who can make il any
where.
We are satisfied that the writer of the a.
bove had no personal knowledge whatever
OF the matter of which he treats, but made
his article up on the strength of prejudice or
unfounded rumors which reached his ears
The three deaths alluded 10, were published
in this paper, and it is fact that not one of
them can in the remotest degree be at,ribu-
ted to the country or climate. One brought
his disease with him; living but few days

in my opinion the exercise of the legislative
power in repeating the charter.
The bill providing for the formation Of a
state government passed the House TO day
by vote Of IL to 8. There were some
slight amendments made 10 the bill in The
House the most important Of which is, the
fixing of the per diem allowance of the Del
egates TO the convention, at two dollars, in
stead Of one dollar and fifty cents, as agreed
upon by the Council. The amendments of
the House were Immediately concurred IN
by majority of the Council.

The bill for the repeal of the Wisconsin
Marine and Fire Insurance Company, will
no doubt become law. What the effect of
it will be, we cannot tell, as the friends Of
the institution contend, and on pretty good
grounds, that the legislature cannot repeal
their charter. That il can only be repeal
ed by violation. that violation to be deter
mined by proper court; and they will
probably continue their business without
reference 10 the action of the legislature.
The truth of the matter is here, it seems to
US. The institution is surely Bank by what
ever other name 1t may be called. The
organic act expressly declares that no bank
charter shall take effect in the territory un-
less expressly sanctioned by Congress.
This was never sanctioned by Congress,
therefore il has never had legal existence.
There is law Of the territory 10 prevent
Unauthorized banking, and under this law

enacted, for if credit in any wise rested
upon the implied sanction of territorial law
that sanction is now removed, the territory
freed from the responsibility and the matter
where it should be, between the Institution,
and the people in their individual capacity
We should like to have all matters of thi:
character left precisely there. The law o.
the territory to prevent unauthorized bank
ing should be repealed. Let those bank

dence. We don't apprehend that the PEG

CoNGREssIoNAL.-Congress has been al
most exclusively occupied for some time
past, in the discussion Of the Oregon ques-
ton. Every member in the House seems
desperately bent on making speech on
the subject, and the efforts and josting TO
get the floor creates scene of confusion
and excitement. In the Senate the matter
has been postponed for one month for the
purpose, we suppose, Of learning how the
message affects the English government
The House will probably do The same thing.
Nothing has yet been done with our terri
torial bills, or the bill from Tho Committee
of Commerce; but the impression appears
TO be, that the appropriation bills will be
passed early.

We spoke last week Of the resolutions intro

would be governed in reference to the ex-
tension of foreign settlements on this cont-

Aliens, and also from the Presidents views
in this matter. We can conceive of no
danger to be apprehended from any settle
ment or any extension Of settlement Of
European colonies on this soil. Such is
the nature of Republcanism, that at this
day and age Of light, nothing could proven,
its spread and progress among people con-
tguous 10 us. We should look upon it as
certain, that any colonies established, must
sooner or later become part and portion OF

publicanism in contact with Monarchy;
the latter must give way, and we therefore
