The striking results Of the rapidity and energy
which marked the recent successful movement OF
our Napoleon Of northern Mexico, Gen. Kearney,
have sunk deep into mems minds; and there is an
urgency amounting almost to impotence to hear of
some corresponding success the southern line Of
operations. 1t is the universal feeling that we must
not dance attendance on the slow and uncertain ac-
tion Of the Mexican Congress; that Santa Anna
must not be allowed to build himself, out OF the
ruin about him, strength which he is more likely
than not TO use against US; that Mexico must be
forced to treat al onee, il we can make her.
Ii is this conviction which wins for the vigorous
policy instituted by government to push the war,
and let the army find its support from the enemy :
country at the swords point concurrence as hearty
as II is general.
The greatest animation appears to prevail among
the democracy of the city and county particularly
Of philadelphia. Col Florence has uphill work in
the Southwark district but he goes at it with a
spirit which looks as though it meant victory. His
meeting the other night there, was Il hear) one Of
the largest and most enthusiastic yet seen in the
district Be the result what it may, the democracy
Of both city and county will give the overwhelming
whig and native coalition the hardest fight it has
met for many day. .H
The abolition dispute, which came so near dis
tracing the Protestant Episcopal convention which
has just closed its session, ION the question of adj
hitting a colored congregation to sit and vote in the
conveniion,) has been laid over until next session.
Better have disposed of it at once.
Co,k r. =. a
citabe as one of Edges fireworks. A little thing
sets it of. They have got in Trinity Church fine,
organ, and they have had several great players
to make on it the finest and newest music. OF
course everybody must be there to hear and admire.
The number Of visers yesterday was thirteen thou
sand seuen hundred. To-day, the Juror is still
higher.
The wing meeting last night at National Hall,
did not warrant at all the glowing accounts of it in
the wing papers to-day. Two thousand is liberal
estimate Of the number present. The enthusiasm
manifested by tho "young wings" was strikingly
contrasted by the quiet contempt with which the
great mass of the sober and thinking wings present
Greeley" said one at my elbow; "hes reading the
resoudons-hope there will be no Fourierism or
anti-rent in them" "About this antirent business ~
said another, 81 guess John Young is good deal OF
an ant-renter. hope he'll write no letters, any
how, but just keep quiet. Look at Clay--he never
wrote letter but hurt him. It's best to write no
letters" And this seems to be the unanimous whg
policy to be pursued by the whig candidate. There
were loud shouts for !" but the colonel did
not appear.
The convention at Albany has reconsidered its
resolution to adjourn on the 9th, and is at sea fol
some time longer.
How "ruin" stares US in the face from these facts
of the express" this afternoon:
eve have rarely known vessels in such active
demand as at present. Everything of large size
that floats, is taken most readily for Europe"
