LaIer from NTexicO.

We copy from the Vicksburg Sentinel,
Of the 9th inst, the following intelligence
from Mexico:
"Latel news contradcts the report that
Paredes had taken the head of the army.
The fear Of revolutions and outbreaks IN
his absence delains him at Mexico.
I here was a slight skiTmish, short time
since between the crews of the Frigate
Polomoc and Cumberland, and some armed
Mexicans in the neighboIhOod Of Vera
Cruz. These vessels sent their boats ashore
10 miles north of Vera Cruz, for supplies
of beef and water. AS they were getting
off they we've attacked by 800 Mexicans
who were concealed in the ChaparTal. The
only damage they did was TO hurt one man
slightly with spent ball which struck him
in the shoulder. The Steamer Princeton,
which lay within shot, opened an immediate
fire upon the chaparral, ard soon siIenced
their guns, and drove them from their am
bush. The Mexcans had eight or nine
wounded and three killed.
The Squadron at Vera Cruz is on the qui
uipe for orders to attack St. Juan D'Uloa
but no dirnctions TO do SO had arrived or
the 18th inst. -Rumors, Of projected lane
attack, however, were rife.
1t is said that Mejia, who has now the
command Of the Mexican army, has A, OOC
men at Linares, but that at Monterey there
are but few men and slight defences."

Mr.. Polk and the Oregon Question Again.
The Democrat is down upon US "like
thousand Of bricks" because we had dared
to attribute the settlement Of the Oregon
Question to the Senate and not to. MIR. Polk. |
Our noighbor still insists upon it that the
country is indebted to the "frmness'' Of Mr..
Polk, for the amicablO. adjustment Of this
question. We are perfectly willing that our
neighbor shall enjoy his favorable opinion
Of Mr.. Polk, and hope that he will award
to US The same privilege as regards our opn.
ion Of the Senate. Fl
As the Democrat endeavors TO sustain his
previous assertion, "that- to Mr.. Polk be-
longs the honor and glory OF the settlement
Of the Oregon question, and that IRE have
not sustained our. assertion, that to the Senate
and not to Mr.. Polk belongs the honor Of
the settlement OF the question; we will look
back TO the resolve Of the National COnven'
ton which nominated Mr.. Polk, and follow
the President up TO the final settlement oil
our Oregon difficulties, and let the public
Judge who is right. The Baltimore Con
yention resolved that "Our title TO THE
WHOLE Of Oregon is clear and unques-
Iionablc, and that the remuneration Of Texa;
and re.occUpatiOn Of Oregon are grea
American questions" &c. That OUT "titlC
to the whole Of Oregon" was not clear anC

Resolution, TO take a little, if any, owe
half that territory. And il this was indeed
ga great American question" why was j
dragged into a party contest? What die
this resolution mean, if not to tell the coun
try that the Wings, If in power, would com
promise aud take part Of the Oregon, whil'
Oe the locos would stand firm for ''THE
WHOLE" Those interested so understood
it, and Mr.. Polk, doubtless received thou
sands Of votes in consequence. :.
Mr.. Polk was elected and, in his lnangu
raj referred to Oregon, spoke Of our title Z
"THE WHOLE" Of it as 'unquestionable,
In his annual Message he made an Offer t
settle, utterly inconsistent with this claim
saying that he did so 'sOlely in deferenc
10 former Offers" and "wOuld have insisted
on THE WHOLE bad the question com
before him originally" Now, was not thcs

we could "not admit any doubt as 70
the completeness Of our title 10 Oregon"
Another offer was made BY Great Britain 10
settle this vexed question, and Me-. Polk

the Senate how TO proceed, done so, and in
few days Treaty was made and ratified on

belongs the honor Of settling the Oregon
question: Who will thereafter put faith IN

The DemOcr0t further says:
"But the Wing, ct id omne genus, abuse
Mr.. Polk for having solicited the advise of
the Senate.relative to tue proposition Of the
British Government"
Not exactly ncighbor, we never "abused
Mr.. Polk for having solicited the advise
Of the Sanate", hut on the contrary, we
gave him great praise and credit for his des'
erection in submitting the matter to that body,
for had Mr.. Polk continued 10 manage the
matter, we probably would never have the
difficulty adjusted, unless by war.
= In substantia,ion Of what we have said
we copy the following comment from ths
Ohio "Plaindealer," thorough locofocl
