Mexican war, says
1.-The United States are obstinate in the war against

Grille who has paid any attention to "a Newspaper
literature" cannot fail to be struck with the energetic,
chaSte me refined language of many Of daily and
weekly journals. As specimen from one out Of
many, we select the following from the Wheeling
Tines in reply 10 the Wheeling Argus, which calls
John Davis, of Mass, I" tory scoundre."
Is fitting that John Davis should be called tory
scoundrel by such the editor OF the Argus,

travel he took passage with of the Indiana
troops small vessel; the craft was cast ashore on

was lowered but they could take but few in, and
even they in dangerous situation. Patterson

of one of the Indiana companies addressed him thus

Patterson Immediately asked him if he had family !;
he replied he had. Patterson told him that he

made the Indiana Captain take his place, remarking
that he would stay and sink with the vessel as ne
had no wife and children to mourn his loss. Fortu-
nately, however, the storm abated they raised flag
of distress a revenue cutter went to their aid and
all were saved. 1t act the part of the

POWERFUL LAXGUAGE.-George Lippard, young
writer of some celebrity, with mind of peculiar
conformation, has published novel called Blanche
of Brandywine," which he dedicated to Henry Clay.
He uses, in the course of the dedication, this Ian
guage:
'You are bound to my heart by strong ties; not
by the ties of party, for in this city certain deIna
gogues who Shout your name when they cannot be-
tray you, have swindled some ten thousand orphans
out of education by the STAINLESS expenditure Of
Girards bequest. Instead of erecting schoOl-house
for the education of this generation of orphans,
among whose ranks | am proud to class myself they

YUcATAN.-We copy the following from the New
Orleans Plcayune of the 22d ult.
We turned over file of Yucatan papers yesterday,
of the latest dates received from that Peninsula
They confirm entirely the impression which we had
been led to entertain in regard to the feelings of the
people Of Yucaian towards Mexico and tho United
States. No truant schoolboy could exhibit more
eager desire to make his peace with village peda-
gOgue. than Yucaian manIfeSts to be received back
into the Mexican Union. There is a great deal of
talking around and around, about and about but
the truth is apparent through all DISCUSSES and pre-
texts. Having availed herself of the weakness Of
the Mexican conederacy she attempted to extort
some peculiar commercial privileges from the central
government, and she succeeded in her design. But
the central government has been quite too jealous of
It's rights to acqnIesce in these grants extOried from
its weakness and all that Yucatan now tesifes, IS
to obtain certain and precise guaranty from her
that Yucatan may hold in perpetuIty these CONNER
cial advantages. This question settled in its favor
the peninsula is thoroughly Mexican at heaS, as
any portion Of the country and the present display Of
Independence, is but hollow show. Every paragraph
read in the papers from the Peninsula, shows that
the population sympatses with the central gcgernl
mcnt in It's dis,rcsses, and If the prayers o. the
Yucatecocs could avail the army and navy &C the
United States would be utterly worsted IN the contest
going ofi---4rr the meantime. YucateD- is driving
very good trade to and from Mexican ports, ana The
money she makes is the sole consolation she has, for
standing aloof and taking direct part against u.s.
