CHARITY OF THE ARIsTocrAcy.

Castle Of San Juan de Ulloa.--
The first object that strikes the eye, in
approaching Vera Cruz by water, is
the Castle Of San Juan de Ulloa, with
the spires and domes OF the churches
peering up in the distance behind it..
Ii stands alone upon small rocky is
land, on one side of the main entrance
to the .harbor, and only about half a
mile from the wall OF the city, and con-
sequently has complete command oil
the port. The entrance on the other
aide. is so barred with broken reefs and
lodges, thati il can only be used by small
craft in favorable weather.
The castle is circular, and strongly
built, and heavily mounted. It's prin-
cipal strength, however, is in its posi-
ton, inaccessible except by water, and
its guns pointing every way, leaving
no side open to the attack OF an enemy.
The form Of the city Of Vera Cruz
is semi-circular, fronting the sea. tits
situated on an arid plain, surrounded
by sand hills, and is badly supplied
,cifh ,cafer. The chief reliance being
upon rain collected in cistcrns, which
are often so poorly constructed as 10
answer but very little purpose. The
chief resource of the lower classes, is
the water of a ditch, so impure as FREE
quently TO occasion disease. An at
tempt was made, more than a century
ago, 10 remedy this evil, by the con-
struction OF stone aqueduct from the
river Xamapa; but, unfortunately, af-
ter very large sum had been expend-
ed on the work, it was discovered that
the engineer who constructed it had
made fatal mistake in not ascertaining
the true level, and the work was abon-
doned in despair.-Norman's Ram
bles.

0 4 WAR PARTY.

The A. S. Buglo quotes the Cincinnati
Herald, the Democratic STANDARD and Wing
OF '16, and the Liberty Herald, to show that
the Liberty Party is War Party, or at least
a supporter of the present war with Mexico.
In relation to the first named PAPER, we think
it req1ircs a very forced construction Of the
language quoted, to say that it supports the
war. As to the second, we are sorry to say
that the Bugle's quotation is to the point
And as to the third, we do not think it 4 very
material exponent Of the position Of the Lib
erty party. We will thank tn Bugle TO say
that the Cleveland American neither i%usiiies
the war. or supports the government in the
prosecution of it, or cheers on others TO do it..
And such, we believe, is the case with most
Of the Liberty plpers-perhaps all except
those referred tn.-CIe-eig3f .Imeric2R.
We Do not exchange with many Liberty
party papers, and cannot say how many sup
port the war. The facts we gave, were somo
Liberty party Developments which we eX'
pocted our readers to take for what they were
worth. If they cannot see that Dr.. Bailey's

ask this question; the natural tendency Of our
hearts is towards our own, our " native land -
and although our judgment tells US she is
wrong, our hearts will throb with anXiety lest
she suffer the deserved consequences OF her
voluntary wrong position. Men may reason

and my head, therefore, in this matter, / come
to the conclusion that abolitionists, whilst
they fully Judge Of and condemn the course
OF those who administer our government
when they do wrong, should nevertheless
take no action that would imply Il hope Of
MeXico's success.
For my own part I should regard it a great
calamity not only to our country, but TO Mex
leo herself, for the latter to succeed in this
struggle. TO take from her rulers the power
TO exercise a military despotism, will d. her
people a benefit, a"d although the means Of
c%iircting it may not be very honorable to our
national character, the Mexican people will
probably feel in the end that the defeat of
their government is a blessing to themselves.
On the other hand, should Mexico succeed,
OF which there could be no probability with
out the aid of foreign powers, it would only
strengthen The d~espotic character of her mill
tdry chieitlins, whilst it would be the ruin of
the United States"

Baltimore, June %, IS

An Extra from ihe Office Of the Lexington
(Mo.) Express states that Mr.. Houck had ar
rived 1T independence from Santa Fe, having
made the trip in 20 days.
He is said to have brought intelligence that
the authorities at Santa Fe were terrifying
and besides 1000 men, then under arms, the
Government had made a requisition for 5000
men from Chihuahua. Every third man in
Santa Fe and the vicinity was to bear arms
in its defence. The place was prepared for
a seige.
Mr.. IIouck, it is added. expressed the opin-
ion that Col. Kearney ought not to take less
than 5000 on his expedition against New
Mexico.
The st. Louis Era of the 18th says a nam-
Der of wagons loaded with ammunition aud
provisions have already started on their way
over the prairies, and Col. Kearney sends
them ahead as fast as he can get them in
readiness.
More than 200 Dragons have taken Up
their line of march. The volunteer compl,

military exercises under the direction Of tho

be improving rapidly.

FOnRrH OLE L.

This "powder. smoked day,"as ii has been
called, is becoming every year less and ltas
powder-smoked. Men are beginning to ques-
ton the Propriety of celebrating it as it was
wont to be, rejoicing by the lannon's mouth
is growing more and more unpopular, and
solf-glorifyiug speeches about our perfect free
dom and recognition Of the equal rights of all.
is becoming not only d silly sound, but a hy-
pocritical pretcnsion in the estimation of the
nnprejndiced and rejecting portion of commu-
nitv.
There was however an effort made 10 revive
in this place that spirit Of false patriotism
whose empty bo1stings Of the freedom Of our
land most sadly contrast with the existing
reality. The patriotic origiuators Of this
movement were more fully impressed with
the necessity Of such an effort, from the fact
that most reasonable sentiments had been
promulgated in this vicinity, and that some
even went SO Ear as to asscr; that the country
was clearly wrong in its aggressi9ns on MIeNi-
CO; declaring that the venerated Union was
an iniqui;ous bond, and that the laws of The
United States were less binding than the laws
OF God. This, of course, demanded prompt
and energetic action. Tarring ard fealhering
were rather out Of fashion, the epilhets OF
"tory" and traitor were uncurrent coin,
and there seemed t. be no mode of action 50
desirable as a patriotic rerirai meeting with
its full complement Of glorifcdiion spt eches
and unmeaning rhetoric. Amber was one OF
the originators Of this movement, and was per-
mitted TO oficiate as Grand High Priest OF
the ceremonies. He probably supposed thai
as the orderly citizens of Salem had Tolerated
his speeches in meetings where he had in
tTnded himself, iney would gladly take part
in the one which he and his co-laborcrs were
getting up. In this, it appears, he was much
mistaken, for although quite an extensive
the audience, not more than thirty or forty
persons assembled to 10 honor to Amber &
Co. This however did not deter Them from
making a Tremendous effort for their country's
salvation. A vast amount of gunpowder pa
tIiotism was exploded, fervid appeals were
made 10 the feelings of the audience, and the
speakers displayed a great stock of platform
patriotism.
The speeches were made, the audience en-
tertalned, the meeting adjourned, ard SO ended
the patriotic 4th Of July celebration in Salem.
