In another column we spread before the rea-
ders Of the Journal, the latest news from OUT
gallant little army in Texas. We congratulate
them and the country, whose honor they have
so nObly redeemed, on the events of the 4lh
inst. Things are now taking the right turn.
We would almost say that we rejoiced at the
first news from the seat Of war, for we knew
what must follow. The spirit Of the country
has been reused, and fearful will be the retri-
bution.-On every side accounts reach US Of
the assembling of citizens, eager to parIicl-
pate in tho tolls and share the glories OF The
field. The destruction of Matamoras opens a
new era in the history of this Republic, and it
depends upon the continuance of this war,
whether that is still TO be bright and glorious,
or marked by embarrassments and disunion.
We call upon the authorities at Washington
to be speedy in their doings. Let an over
whelming force he concentrated upon the bor-
ders, and let them march at once to the CAPT.
tai. The war will not be over, until Mexico
itself is taken, and that event will happen too
late if long delayed. The military spirit,
than which nothing is more dangerous 10 a
Republic, and which at this moment is abso-
lutely necessary to prompt and vigorous &C
ton, must not too long be INDUCED, as it
should never be wholly repressed. And we
must act with energy and decision for anoth'
reason, and that one most vital to our own in
terests: that we do not involve others in the
quarrel, and extend the field Of battle Yves:
and East from Mexico to both oceans. We
have nothing to fear from decision-every
thing from inactivity.

into conflict. We verify believe tina: this
whole disturbance, singular as it may seem.
has grown out of the Oregon question. Eng
land has been too quiet lately for nothing.
s. While we serve our sovereign in the
South, let Us not forget his interests in the
North" If we are to give up to 49o. let Us
take care our boundaries be not still further
curtaiied to the Columbia. And let not any
threats of her Interference in our difficulties
with Mexico prevent Us from refusing any
further concessions. The doctrine has gone
forth,-the solemn faith of the American gov
eminent has been pledged to the assertion of
our exclusive right to regulate our own con-
Germs in the manner we hest please. Let no for
eign interference be suffered on this continent
t. involve US in still farther difficulties. The
protest of England may be expected TO our
intended march TO the gates Of Mexico. and
she will contend for the right Of shipping her
specie independent Of the blockade, but we
hope no threats will deter US from the rigid
enforcement of belligerent rights, ard the firm
determination TO require from neutrals the
duties appertaining to that character. We
must watch and prepare.

James B. Shepard.

There is something abou. this name which
try friends, in spite Of them. and with some
what Of the spirit of the quack doctors in the
Northern papers, who head off their pills with
$500 reward. we take the liberty Of promising
what we have to say about orr candidate, with
some remarks about our paper. and We ask
our good whole-souled Democratic friends, in
the country, what do you say to increasing its
size Just look at it, gentlemen, these short
columns and this narrow space are reproach
to Democracy, whose truths should be unfold
ed in broad sheets, and clear, open, honest
looking type. The Italian bachelor in Bocca-
clio complained. Questa e troppo gran casa a
81 POGO fam; gHa." what big house for so
small famly.1 One glance at our political
family and another at our house will satisfy
any reasonable man we are far more to be pi-
tied. "Sent before their time into this breath
ing world, scarce half made up," as many
Of them unavoidabIy are, we yet love our hant-
things, and wan. them to look we'll in public.
There Is little reason to question that as Mr..
Shepard is the regular. he will shortly be the
only candidate Of the Democratic party in the
coming election. No one Of our readers who
have perused the elaborate article we had the
pleasure Of spreading before them last week,
from our valued correspondent, Sener, can en-
tert'in a doubt that he is abundantly quail
flied by nature end education for That post in
which we mean TO place him in August. Let
not this be considered an idle boast. North
Carolina has known Wing misrule too long,
not to be eager for the change. Wherever our
candidate has appeared he has awakened the
enthusiastic, uheered The Responding, and adj
ded new converts to the faith Of Republican,
ism. Well may our brethren of the Chroni-
Gle and the Register trembIe, for as the appIi.
cation of fire calls into life the hidden nscrip-
ton, the zeal and fidelity Of the Democratic
presses have awakened the dormant energy
and enthusiasm Of the people. We Tell these
gentlemen that the principles Of our party, as
they are founded not merely in the interests
country, not in the temporary but the perma-
nent welfare Of the people are identified with
its progress, and will become stronger in its
prosperity. From every quarter we receive
assurances that the efforts Of Mr.. S. to place
these considerations in their proper light be-
fore the people Of the State, have not been un-
attended with success. All we now want 10
ensure success, is union in the ranks. Men
may have preferences, but parties may never.
Candidates must be available, that principles
may triumph. You may like this man and
may like that, but is il not more essential that
one should succeed than that either should be
gratiied! We are sure these remarks are
unnecessary to ourselves. but they may teach
something to others. We know that in August
the stont-hearted Democracy Of the State, in
every section, will no longer be divided
linked not merely shoulder with shoulder,
but heart with heart, they will share as they
must achieve, common victory.

From every town. village and hamlet thro'-

Texas have so long been indebted for virtue

seuntrymen, from every section Of the State.

Should the war now being wageG on our
Southwestern frontier be successful or not,
In obtaining what we deem its true object,
namely Naturalization for the past and Sc
curity for the future, together with all costs
and expenses, there is one point upon which
we must stand on surcr ground, and that is
the existence OF an undercurrent of English
influence in the affairs eff that unhappy nation.
A recent correspondent of this paper stated
that most Of the mines of the Mexican States
were worked by British subjects, and we be-
lievs the fact to be we'll authenticated. We are
Informed that nearly one-shird OF the whole
revenue of the country goes into the pockets
Of these gentlemen. How else can it be than
that they must exercise most potent infiu'

We have been led 10 make these re.
remarks from the perusal Of a most uncon'tc'
Gus and ilIiberal attack on the Adminlstra-
ton in the editorial columns Of the New YORK
Evening Express, of the 18th instant. There
are some men who cannot be severe without
losing their temper. To whom the coarse slang
of vulgar abuse seems stronger & more CRATE
full than the most polished sarcasm or biting
irony. It is the unfortunate part of an able
but i'll regulated mind to be often its own
worst enemy. With all the power, but less
than the skill of the blind giant. its blows re-
coil and prove at last the most potent element
in its own destruction. Such men are to be
pitied. There are others who increase the
difficulties Of this painful situation, by ma
licious chatting, which knows neither bounds.
decency, nor moderation industrious as the
bee. but like her, unable TO see very far in ad-
vance, they work very hard, are very we'll fed,
and very useful, and they can sting too, as we
have seen. but they are ever despised. The
Ev. Express and the National 1ntelligencer
will permit us to remind them from their own
experience, that sacrifices like these. at the
shrine of party, are never repaid. Their duty,
as prominent organs Of the Wing interest.
may lead them to oppose US. And without a
talented and organized opposition, the lbcr-
ties Of no country are safe but let them not
forget, there IS higher duty to themselves,
and to truth, which should prompt us all, far
as possible, to bring not the iealousies and
rancor Of narrow personality into the public
counseIs and debates Of an intelligent and re-
f1ecting people.
