REINFORCING The ENEMY, The IN.
~ Courier des Etats Unis, French paper
states that it has private letters from Havana,
which show that Santa Anna brought with
him, in the steamer Arab, to Vera Cruz, TWEEN
ty Spanish officers of distinguished ability
mong the number Nnrciso Lopez, who has act
ed distinguished part in the civil wars of
Old Spain. From other accounts we learn
that these officers, under Santa Anna, are to
have commands in the attempt to expel our
columns of invasion. One of them is n very
able cavalry officer, Others are good artille-
lists. ...
Had all these gentlemen passports from Mr.

been routed up, and fields of rice DESTROYED,

We do not mean to say that the opposition
will have this majority ofthirty in the next
House of representatives. They probably
will not. But that they CAN have it, if they
will but unite, is as clearly demonstrate as it
is that there is an Anti Loco Foco majority
in enough districts to insure it, ifthat major
y is but made available.
All our national questions will be affected,
and may be decided by comming elections.
The people now can have direct influence,
BY their Immediate votes, upon the Tariff
the sub-treasury-the public lands-internal
mprovement-the addition of new slave ter
ntOry-the further spread of slavery-the
continuation ofan unjust and ruinous war
ina word, upon every great national question
that has come before the country during the
past twelve years. 1t is the action of the
next House of Representatives which is to de-
eide the policy of this country-control the
course and conduct of our federal govern
ment and shape and direct the eutire pol
ICY ofthe Nation, both at home and abroad.
How can any Wing fail to see the immense
Importance of sending sound and reliable
Wings to the next House ofRepresentatives?
W The United States government, so it
;srumored in the papers, will make an effort
10 obtain the loan of money in Holland with
winch to meet the deficiency in the treasury
cadsed by the Mexican War. Look out for
breakers about the LIST of December.
