MR.. POLK'S DUPLICITY.

The Senate have called upon President Polk to
saw swhether, in his judgement, any circumstances
connected with, or growing out of the country re-
oure at this time any increase of our naval or militia
nv force. and what those circumstances are.' This
Question oueht to be answered without equivocation.
Roth Congress and the people have been kept in the
dark long enough in regard to Mr.. Folks purposes
Congress cannot shape its Legislation nor the people
their business for the want of this information
The question of Notice fingers undecided for this
very reason. Nobody knows whether it is to be US
ed for purposes of war or peace. The notice may
or may not be harmless, just as MIR, Polk may sec mt
to use it. 1t may be used in aid of further and more
earnest negotiation, or it may be used the occa-
sion for breaking off Fall negotiation, and at the end
of twelve months taking possession of the disputed
territory, and bringing on a war; Some Of Mr.. Folks
friends saw that he will take course, and some say
the other EBut Mr.. Polk himself is guardedy
silent. The Senate very properly seek to solve this
double-faced mystery.
Mr.. Polk pursued this same policy in the Presiden-
tai canvass On the crest question of the Tariff es-
peciay he was held upas favoring both sides. His
letters written to keep up this cheaan be
steadily refused to any inquiries which would
disclose his real views. Such tortuous course may
be overlooked in politician seeking office. but it
will not be tolerated in the magistrate of free
people. They have right to know and they will
demand to know his true position. Now that ne
has got into office he must meet the responsibilities
of his station by frank disclosure of his poses
Had he done so at the opening of the session, months
of useless agitation and alarm would probably have
been saved.-Det. .4dUertiser.

from DIR. r. E. MORSE.

which we anticipate both instruction and amusement

be requested to bring the next evening an account

THE BATTLE OF MONTER ;

We refer the readers attention TO the .Ne,c
Orleans Correspondence Of the National hheM
genccr, which will be found in our columns
this week. and its sound views read with in
terest. Perhaps the page of history does not
contain battle Of more brilliant character than
the battle OF MONTEREY, when everything is
taken into consideration. We agree with the
"Riehmond Uhig" that Gen, TAYLOR had Il
force equal TO Thirty THOUSAND MEN oppo-
sed TO him, enrenched and all as the Mexicans
were. 1t has fully established the character of
the American Soldier, and has shown that he
is equal to any task, short Of imposslbilities.
We have been looking with great anxiety
for more detailed accounts Of the battle, from
the officers. We perceive BY the New Orleans
papers that the steamer .NcKim was hourly
expected, by which full details are expected.
These details will probably develop the fact
that we have lost many more OF our brave men
than the first accounts (Which olnecessty We're
written in great haste) represented. But we
trust that we have learned the worst Every

The New Orleans Delta of the 9th inst has
the following paragraphs:
COLONEL WArsoN-Colonel WArsos, the
commander Of the Baltimore Battalion, in the
attack on Monterey, and who was killed fight
ing at the head of his command, was the son
of our respected fellow citizen, Major THos
A. WArsoN. Colonel WATSON was gentle
man Of great popularity in Baltimore, andpre
sided several sessions as Speaker of The House
'of Representatives of Maryland He was
quite young man and babe fair TO attain
high distinction as military man. He cant.
of good stock his father being veteran Of
North Point, Of the Florida and Texan cam.
paigns, in all Of which he displayed the grea,,
est bravery and patriotism. His son, prepared
TO follow his example, had at great sacrlbce
gone more than two thousand miles TO NEE
the enemies of his country. and fell nobly
justifying the proud hopes Of his friends, an
the anxious teaching OF his patriot father :.
The VOLUNTEERS AND REGuLARs-W'l
are assured by an officer who was in the oatI
tie at Monterey that in steady bravery, though
OF course, not in methodical marching ah'f
systematic attack, the Volunteers were iuDiI
equal 10 the Regulars, and that is saying Il
great deal, for we venture the boast that lheHI
is not finer army in the world than the itegI
ulsrs now in Monterey. But particularly N
the scrambhng fight in the streets, and on III
tops OF the houses, the Volunteers Of MssSt
sippi, Tennessee and of Texas were very III
feetlve. Indeed the chief loss TO the enelij
was occasioned by the sharp shooting an'
sharp cutting OF Tennessee rifles and Mlss'ssP'

Flour, which for beauty Of appearance, sweet
ness Of taste, and strength of body, can't be
beaten. So without any wish to disparage the

those who think and complain that they can
not get good Flour, TO take walk out to the
Union and judge for themselves, and if they
are deceived, then we are no judge of Flour
