IIo FOR MExIco!- Gov. Slade has issued the
necessary orders, but have not yet heard OF any
volunteers In Vermont. 1t is surprising that the
exceedingly patriotic Texas men III the Locoloco
and Third Party ranks don't come up to the scratch
We must remind them that there are laures and
wounds, and tropical fruits and ievers, and slave
plantations to be won. Ho! we Texas men heads
up!-especally the abolition branch Of the compa-
ny, since nothing but brass can cover your morth-
cation. Right about iace--to MeXico-march!
o. Congress has passed the bill to add one Ma
jor General and two Brigadcrs to the army. Here
is an opportunity for the President to reward the
most jealous and efficient supporters of Texas an
neXation, and it will be remarkable if JAMES u.
BIRNEY shall be forgotten. Polk must reward
his friends.

No Promotion for Them. Out of lot of some
thlrly or forty promotions in the army there is not
one from New England. So, though The services

by The President, he seems to manifest little dispo-
sltlon to promote her otiiccrs.--.HlGS.

DISSERTATION OF THE CApIroL. From the fol-
lowing editorial notice in the "Union" the organ
of the Administration and Of the British agent in
this capital, it seems that the committee room of
the Post Office and Post Road" where Mr. IIo-
mer has been exhibiting his GritiSh goods for some
months past, is now to be converted into a sales
room where these British goods mot selling for
CASH are to be offered in exchange for products of
the soil" So the Capitol, 10 accommodate this
British agent, is to be numbered with all kinds of
country produce wheat, rye, oats, corn, potatoes
onions, cabb0ges, &c. TO be resold. Here is the
editorial, as published in the Union Of Thursday,
word for word:
"Specimens and prices of British and American
fabrics offered in exchange for the products of the
SOIL can be seen at the room of the Committee on
the Post Office and Post Roads, at the Capitol,
where the public are invited TO CALL"
l.
know whether the editor Of the "Union" approves
of such use of the Committee rooms of the CAPT
to, erected by the American People for purposes
of National Legislation, and not for the purpose
of exhibiting or bartering British other goods for
country produce? And should further like to
know by whose authority such use is allowed to
be made of the committee room OF the Houses Of
Representatives And, if allowed to the British,
are they to be denied TO Americans for the same
purposes? And if not, will not the whole of the
committee rooms soon be occupied to sell and bar
ter goods for country produce? Is such desecra-
ton of the Capitol to be tolerated in silence ?-Nat
