why are we mt WAR.

A Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald speak right out in
meetin', as follows:
"Why, or werefore, were the troops
of Gen. Taylor. pushed forward to the
Eastern branch of the Rio del Norte,
is question frequently asked, but rare
ly answered satisfactorily. Twill now
give you the true solution of the ques-
ton. BY the TERMS Of Annexation
with Texas, that State held in its own
hands its public lands, in order to cover
its floating debt. On investigation, it
was found that in Texas proper, the
whole public domain had been squan-
dercd away by the Government of the
Republic, and consequently the holders
of the great amount of Texas scrip, lost
all hope OF being paid from that source.
1t then became necessary to plumber
Mexico of a large portion of the three
States of New Mexico, Coahuila and
chihuahua, and all New Mexico which
lies between the Bravo del Norte and
tberi Nueces, West of which stream
the Republic of Texas never had either
civil or military jurisdiction, nor even
the shadow of claim other than that
arising from an act of its Legislature,
which declared the Bravo to be the
Western boundary of the republic; yet
if at the cost of so much blood, treas
ure and national honor, the United
States will plumber Mexico of the vast
territory lying between the Nueces
and Bravo, the State of Texas will
claim the whole territory, and then be
able to pay her national debt. Who
can tell what amount of Texas scrip is
held by the members of the present
Cabinet, who have projected this spe-
cies of plumber and robbery"

Emigration.

From various sources, besides our
own personal observation, we have be-
come convinced that the emigration to
the Territory bids fair to be the great
est this summer, that it has ever been.
And this seems conclusive proof that
the superior advantages offered here
are becoming known and appreciated.
In our own county, emigrants are daily
arriving and locating themselves, not
only from the Eastern States but from
Canada, leaving the atmosphere OF mon
archy and adopting our free insiitu-
tions. To each and all we extend the
hand Of welcome, and would still say
scome;" penetrate the interior of the
country, and there you will discover
its beauties. The best locations in the
counties on the lake shore, as natur-
al consequence, are secured; and we
feel confident in saying that this coun-
ty is now the first upon the prize list.
And if you should not win the golden
apple, we are sure you will meet with
peace, happiness, and contentment, if
a genial soil, pure atmosphere, and
great natural advantages of location
can secure it.-Madison Express.
