NO DIFFERENCE IN PARTIES"

NV LII A4N AN AHc'
The New Haven Palladium says that per-
sons who are utterly opposed to Locofoco'
ism sometimes make the remark that there
sis but little difference in parties"
"Will any man deny" asks that paper
"that to the election of M. Polk we are in.
debted for the annexation of Texas, and con.
sequently for the war with Mexico-the re-
peal of the Tariff of ls42-and for the es.
Enlistment of the Sub. Treasury? And is
there no difference in the parties? One
party would have allowed the business Of
the country to 60 on in the state of pros
perity which existed at the time of the
election, which would have been greatly in
creased by the demand for our bread stuff
and other products to supply the necessities
of Europe; and we should have been a
peace with all the world.
1.-THE other party has removed one grea
source of our prosperity and introduced
systems which will inevitably prove disas
trous to the country-and has involved u
in a war of invasion which has already
destroyed the lives Of great numbers o
our citizens. and created public debt nov
exceeding lOO,OOO,OOO dollars! This is thu
difference in the parties"

CAnpoxNiA.--Wc have nothing later
from California than was published in our
last. Commodore Stockton and General
Kearney have had some warm work with
the Mexicans-and have come off glorious
ly victorious. We regret TO sec that they
are quarreling themselves, as to who has
the right to command. The Commodore
is acting Governor and refuses TO yield to
the General. The accounts of the battle
issued by Stockton are dscredited and
stated to be positively untrue by an officer
who was present. We shall hear from
Gen. Kearney soon, who will no doubt
give a true statement of the whole affair.
We omitted to notice last week that the
Mormon troops had reached California
Since their late repeated foggings, the
Mexicans seem TO be peaceably inclined.

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The news from the Virginia election is
not full. Is is cheering, however, to the
wings. There are fifteen Congressional
Districts in the State, all of which, excep,
one, returned locos to the last Congress-
They were formed with view to keeping
the wings down-but notwithstanding this
it is quite certain the wings have elected
three, and perhaps five or six Congressman.
John M. Bolts is elected from the Rich.
mond District, by handsome majority.
Messrs. Pendleton and Boiling are the
other wings elect. The election of Bolts
is very bitter pill to the locofocos.
As far as heard from, the wings have
made small gain in the Legislature.
