however, I'll the contingencies and possible
perils to which our troops may Be exposed in
consequence 81 lhe movement, were fully
considered BY the government before The orr
der was given, and we have no apprehension
ofihe result. So far, at least, the conduct Of
the controversy with Mexico and the occu-
patton of Texas, justify confidence in the
foresight Of the administration and in the
prudence and skill Of The commander Of the
troops in that quarter However hazardous
therefore, the present expedition may seem
unless it were intended for active operations,
we think no doubt need be entertained that
provision has been made for whatever ext
gencies may arise.
II is time, high time, that the uncertainty
Of our relations with Mexico, be terminated.
Let as have peace or war. Whilst ON the
one hand we are disposed not to declare
war, categorical answer ought TO be deman-
ded from Mexico, whether she considers her
relations to this government TO be those Of
peace or war. The movement ofGen. TAY-
LOR brings into immediate controversy the

Texas and the United States! Possession
is nine points Of the law, and il Mexico de.
murs TO this boundary, she must either ne
gotiate or commence hostilities. She can
not suffer an armed occupation Of what she
claims as her acknowledged territory. This
controversy rests, in some respects, on diff
feTent ground from that respecting other
parIsUf Texas; but the claim Of the United

Gus to liberty. How careful, then, should
the conductors Of the public press be, TO
observe moderation and decorum in the dis
charge Of their duties, and to refrain from
false statements.
We have been induced to make hese re.
marks by reading two or three editorial ar.
ticles in the Washington Times, making a
positive charge Of corruption against large
portion of the members of the Senate, and
charging them with being traitors to their
country, without the shadow of evidence,
and also by reading the following resolution
offered in the Senate by Mr. flanagan:
"ResoIued, That committee of five be
appointed to inquire what measures, if any
are proper to indicate the character and
honor of the Senate against the charges OF
corruption published in a newspaper printed
in Washington City, called the Daily Times,
on tn 9Th, 9th and 10th insts., with power to
examine witnesses and send for persons and
papers,"
Mr.. Colquit, democrat, rose in his seal
and denounced the articles in the Times
alluded 10 in the above resolution, as false
and the fabrication Of a scoundrel. The
editor Of the Times reiterated the accuse
ton in an exaggerated form, stating that the
wing Senators, with certain democratic mem
bers Of that body, had held cause at the
house Of the British Minister, and there cor
ruptIy and traitOrously agreed upon com
promise of the American claim to Oregon
and defed the Senate to an investigation
into the truth Of the charges, asserting tina
he had the authority Of member of Con
gress for what he said.
A committee consisting Of Messrs. Jarna
gin, Benton, Dickinson, ]. M. Clayton AM
Turney, were appointed the committee il
compliance with the above resolution, who
after having investigated the matter, unani
mously reported that the allegations ar
wholly false, and that the editor of th
Times failed TO bring forward the proof G
his chaIges, and admitted that he had n

or We devote this week, the space
usually allotted to miscellaneous and other
matter, to the publication of the new Char
ter of our town, passed at the last session
of our Legislature.
The Charter is, in many respects, just the
thing we have long been wanting..-It
clothes the Mayor and Town Council with
powers, the want of which, have ever been
"a drag upon their every effort for the inn
pTovement of our town.
The power is now granted to us, and it
will be our own fault if the grant Of ahaG
power is not of immense benefit to US for
the only way in which that power can prove
benefit, is by our electing such officers of
our town, as will act up to the spirit and
letter OF our Chatter. The election is just
at hand, and we call upon each and every
one to be mindful for whom he votes. Let
each one vote for those whom he may cons
slider the best qualified to discharge the va.
rious duties of their several offices. Re.
membering that with Town Council com.
posed of active, intelligent and business
men, our town will receive those improve
ments, the want Of which has ever been an
injury to OUT commercial Importance. Our
landing and our Main street, which are
throughout the winter almost impossible,
will be rendered, by C0uncilmen Of the pro-
per spirit, perfectly passable at all seasons
and many other steps will be taken by them
which will promote the prosperity and inns
portance Of our town. Wish bold, ener.
getic and determined man for our Mayor,
the Town Council will be inspirited in this
work, and he will soon put an end to many
proceedings which, not only during the
week but also upon the Sabbath disgrace
our town.
With our new Charter and proper officers
to carry out its provisions, our town must
advance 10 prosperity and happiness; there.
fore, let each one vote for those be may
think best qualified for the duties Of their
Office.
