everybody knows that Independent OF the
Mexican attack upon our soldiers, Mexico had
made out against herself the strongest case
of war which has lately occurred among civil

under these circumstances she has rendered resort

Tomorrow is to be observed throughout the old
Commonwealth Of Maryland as day Of thanks
giving, according TO the manner of the New Eng
landers. The spirit of "Yankeedom" is to reign
supreme for one day; and the consequence is, that
turkeys, geese, chickens, pumpkins, and other rari
ties of the season are in brisk demand. All man

open, whilst even the newspapers are to stop their

pose, presume that the publication Of the "Union"

Of dreadful gale on Lake Erie, accompanied by
great loss Of life. Two steamers, the Indian Queen

that large number Of vessels were lost. On Satur-

ashore at Barcelona. The shore for miles along the
lake Is strewn with fragments Of vessels.
Several fine large ships are now loading at our

Whereas the late frequent arrivals from Great

aneholy udings that the distress and suffering TO
which the INDECENT classes Of the people of Ireland
have for many months been subjected from tho
scarcity OF food, have at length reached those who
have heretofore enjoyed the comforts of life and
whole nation has become helpless and FRUSTRATED be-
fore the drefu and relentless scourgo Of an unpro-
eedented famine. The sound which has reached us
from that unhappy country 10 the voice Of a whole
people crying to us for bread That voice will not
be unheeded by the generous and humane citizens
OF this happy and plentiful land Ii il not the ap-
peal OF individuals casually struck down by misfor-
tune, and sinking under the pressure Of poverty and
want, Out the heartrendlng walls OF furnishing
mothers and children, and the groans Of strong
men, whose sinewy arms have been paralyzed by
this awful visitation of the providence of God
This meeting pledges ITSELF for their fellow-citi-
zens, that this appeal will not be unhceded in tho
metropolis OF this great free, and happy country,
and the more so that II comes TO Us from people
proverbal for their charities and inequalities and
who are united to very large portion Of the popu-
laton OF the United States by the strong ties of
blood and kindred. All that seems necessary TO
this meeting TO secure the desired object is 10 pre-
sent TO their felow-otkens such an organized plan
ofoperaon as shall assure them that their charities
will bejudiciously and effectively applied. There
