ill thegreat blow-thal Which constitutes
the principal, if not sole object, Of the war,
is struck, viz: the capture of California.
To accomplish this, vessels and troops have
been sent to the Pacific. We believe that
peace could be Immediately made with
Mexico; but as it appears to be the intention
of our government 10 seize and to hold Cali.
fOrnia, it would seem 10 be impoltic to do
any act which would produce cessation Of
hOstllities. before our troops and vessels
have had time to make descent upon that
coast. Once in possession Of California
we shall be in the humor to make peace
and to forgive injuries-prOvided that Mex
leo will yield US quiet possession of what
we have acquired. The army under Gen,
Taylor will have but little more lighting tC
do, we think, at least for some time to come
because, if he were TO march promptly for

capitol Of Mexico, it might produce peace
and thus defeat the main object we have
in v;eW-for, if peace were rendered By
Mexico under present circumstances, upor
fair and honorable terms, we should want

This would be an admirable move if it could be
accomplished, but the English know perfectly
well that reduced tariff is already the settled,

arrest the measure. She will not therefore treat

such terms on 40 as will ensure us all the rest Of

THE APPROACHING ELECTION.

We give place to-day to the proceeding, of our
friends at the Great Bridge, on Saturday last,
and feel gratfed that they have nominated Col.
ISAIAH CHERRY, a sterling democrat as their
candidate; and they call upon the town to
respond to that meeting and nominate our candi-
date, who will receive the undivided support of
the democracy of the county. That CALL We
have no doubt, will be answered It is of the
first necessity that The PARTY OF THE PEOPLE
the DEMOCRACY, should fight on, fight
ever" against the party of federasm--the " stand
still party" who will take many shapes as
Proteus, to secure success, but who will be Fed
eTal still. We take advantage of an able com
munication in the Richmond Enquirer, to ex
press our views on the importance of battling for
victory at this election. 1t is our duty to throw
partial prejudices to the winds, when great prin-
ciples are at stake, and trust to God and Ripht
for justice in our local affairs. tender has been
made to our opponents, in town, to select fo,vn
candidate, irrespective Of political bias, tina,
tender has not been accepted by that party, and
obvious duty is to attempt the defeat of those
measures. which they have more a. heart, than
the interest and welfare of the town. IF thew
look to ultimate results, and reject local matters,
why we can stand the loss as we'll as they, and
our pledged, sacred duty is to meet them at the
Polls, in support of and defence of our principles

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA

WHt you hare Wttliam S. ,Archer for Senator /?
Look to that question, fellow voter, and answer
it at the polls, on the fourth Thursday in April.
Who can think of placing one half of the sover.
eighty Of Virginia in the keeping of such polit-
clan as Mr.. Archer for six years, without at once
determining to bury all minor questions under an
inhexble determination TO turn him OUT and put
in his place statesman worthy and well quail
fed to maintain and support the principles, the
rights and interests of Virginia in the councils of
the nation
II is not my purpose to waste time and words
in reviewing the course Of Mr. Archer. 1t may
be truly said Of him, that although he is incapa
bic Of extortng praise from his own party, he en-
joys almost a perfect impunity from the assaults
Of his opponents His highest ambition seems
TO aim no higher than to thwart the will and
wishes Of his constituents, vex his political OPP
ponents, and thereby command the support Of his
friends All know and acknowledge his utter
inefFciency, except in his capacity to lhwart and
Vex the Republican party. The last little crumb
