The love Of a cross woman, they say,
is stronger than the love o! any other
female individual you can start. Like
vinegar, the affections Of highstrung
woman never spoil. It's the sweet
wine that becomes acidulated, not the
sour ones. Recollect this, my dear
hearers, and court accordingly.

ANECDOTES OF THE WAR.

Barbqrity.-A beautiful Mexican girl
of eighteen, in love with one Of the
Mexican officers, had followed the army
to the Rio. Grande, and overlook her
lover in his camp shortly before the
battle of Paio Alto. During the night
after the action her lover, fearing the
result Of The engagement TO take place
on the morrow, sent her forward to
Matamoras under an escort of Mexican
soldiers. As our army moved on the
next morning towards the Resaca de
la Palma the advanced guard discover
ed the victim of the brutality of her
guards. Her person had been violated,
her throat cut from ear 10 ear, appa
rently with one of the little hook knives
which the Mexican soldiers carry, and
her body thrown behind muskeet bush
by the roadside. Her mutilated re-
mains, with the black silk dress she
wore remain there yet, an object of in
terest 10 every passcr by.

with great bravery in the battles of the

however, was TO get ahead of his men,

A New PARTY. The New York Herald
advances the idea, that the war with Mexico
will dissolve the old political parties, and give
birth to a new one, composed Of the sensible,
moderate and right-thinking men of both par
ties" We cannot see any reason to anticipate
such result. The war will not abate the de-
sire for office, nor suppress the influence of
demagogues The two old parties will still
remain arrayed against each other, however
the events of the war may be in favor or against
the success of either. 1t is supposed by some
persons, that, Notwithstanding the explicit and
voluntary declaration of Mr. Polk, that lac
would retire at the end of his tenn, his inclna-
ton is to become candidate second time
We know not whether this supposition be true
or false; but should he be nominated for Ee-eleC-
ton, it is not improbable that there will be
more than two candidates in the field. The
Wing party will certainly make nomination;
and, we even see that the name of Gen. Scott,
has already been announced in the New York
Courier and Enquirer. Conventions Of both
plFLleS Will no uouut DC Heluy ana candidates
be formally brought forward; we cannot, there
fore, see any just reason for the suggestion of
the Herald, that "the sensible, moderate and
right-thinking men Of both parties" will leave
the ranks in which they have been so long mar
shalled to form new party. 1t might be we'll
for the country could they be induced so to act;
for the true interests of the nation have been
too much neglected in the conflicts of party
But we can hardly hope for reform in this par
ticuar at the present time, when the two par
ties are so equally poised. Unfortunately for
the country the maxim that "to the victors be-
long the spols," has been adopted in the prac-
ice Of each party to such an extent, that prn-
oiples are lost sight of in the struggle for Office
and merit is entirely superseded by partzan
claims for reward. We should be pleased to see
a change in this respect effected, but despair of
its being done whilst the DEGREES of political
convention are recognized as the rule for gov
erning the policy of the nation.
