The editor of the Hamburg Republican has
bought himself a second hand 9 hat for So, and
is delighted in the extreme with it. Hear him:

Now, MIR. Republican, before we can tell whe-
ther your purchase is worth all the gas expended
on it, we should like to know how long since
" the same article cost $500 in Augusta how.
since 1t was sold for that price, it has been used.
In whose possession it was, and what is ita pre-

These are serious questions, and ought to be Sc

SEVERE BUT WELL, DESERVED

The Philadelphia keystone thus calls up some
"reminiscences of the past, to rebuke the spirit of
wing assumption, which we thought they had
given up as detected. and, of course, to them
worthless capital. But they will never be done
quilting themselves -
One of the speakers at the Wing meeting on
"Wednesday evening. during the course of his re-
marks, proclaimed that "the Wing party were
the friends of civil and religious libeTty."-
4" Heaven save The mark i" They the friends of
civil liberty! Let The oppressed and prescribed

operatives of Manayunk. now attempted to be
starved into Wing doctrines by one Of their net
manufacturers answer il.
" They the friends of religions liberty! Let
the blarkened walls of ST. Augustine tell the tale.
Let them tell that in a Wing city, with a Whip
Mayor, and an overgrown Wing police, not an
offer was made TO stay the Dissertation. Out
upon such double dealing. The old Federal and
new Wing party are too well known as the oppn
nenis OF the extension Of civil llberty-too well
known as the oppressors Of the masses, and their
late acts tell badly for them as the friends of re-
ligious liberty"

NEGOTIATION WITH MEXICO.

awe are able. says the Union Of Saturday
evening last. TO put an end. in a more explicit
manner than we have hitherto been able TO do. In
all mystery and all doubt about the dispatches by
the Priceton. The preceding paragraph gives
the true version Of the transaction ; the precise
form Of the correspondence which has taken place
between the two republics, we presume. will be
made known at no distant day. The pist of the
matter is, that the Mexican government has not
positively declined our overture-nor has she &C
cep,ed it upon conditions-she has neither refused
nor accepted il; but has referred our proposition
to the constituent Congress of December, to de.
eide the whole question.
We are unable TO say how far Santa Anna par
~ticiPated in this answer. We understand this re-
ply was transmitted by General Rejon. the secre-
tary of foreign affairs, and that only four days
elapsed between the receipt of the letter ofour Sec
tary of State and reply of the Mexican minister.
But though Santa Anna might no, have been con
suited about the form of the reply, yet the char
acier of 1t seems 10 correspond 10 the general prin
ciple which he Processes TO have laid down for
himself-of throwing himself upon the wishes of
the people and Of The constituent Congress.
We had a right to expect a frank prompt an
swer to our liberal and gratuitous proposition for
negotiation. But the acting Mexican government,
declines TO act without the advice and concurrence
Of the Congress of December. Thus three months
will eIapse between their letter and the meeting
of Congress. How long they may spin on, their
decisions, before they advise the executive gov.
eminent, no man can conjecture. Another month
perhaps might pass by. And thus wa should
have four months consumed in idle and unavailing
procrastination. This is surely in the usual dila.
tory style of Mexican negotiation. Bnt in the
mean time, what saeacious politician can hesitate
as 10 the course we ought tn pursue.

OUR COURSE OF ACTION.

The Union, after some remarks respecting

Can any man of sense hesitate to advise the most
spirited and vigorous prosecution of the war on
