United States, has undertaken to justify that
reasonable outrage upon law and order.
They are opposed to the spirit, which, for
nartisan purposes, excluded from Congress
the whole New jersey delegation in defiance
Of the broad seal of the Governor of the
State, and they are opposed to the spirit,
which subsequently, for similar purposes,
admitted men to Congress Mhowere elected,
il they can be said to have been elected at
all, in open disregard of the district law
which was and is the supreme law of the
land. They are opposed to the spirit which
prompted and which has sustained the Ex-
ecutiVe veto in making war upon the finan-
ces in arresting the land bill passed by an
overwhelming majority OF the peoples rep
resentarives, and in causing the sacrifice of
thousands of lives and millions of property
by putting stop to those great internal inn
provements which are necessary to the do
nestle trade and commerce of the country
They are opposed to the spirit which sought
to embroil us in Il war with Great Britain by
seiZing and occupying the whole OF Oregon
without the forms of negotiation, and they
are opposed TO the spirit, which, without
awaiting the action of Congress, precipltated
us into war with Mexico, and which Is
now aiming to annex the whole OF that he
public, with its eight millions OF population,
to the United States, thereby either adding
a dozen States to our Union and making
their millions of MeXicans, Indians, ana
half-hreeds, our fellow citizens, with powers
and privileges equal to our own IN the gov
eminent OF our country, or rendering IT
necessary, that, in opposition to the whole
genius of our institutions, they shall be held
in political thraldom by our armies, for an
indefinite period at an annual expense OF
millions of money and of the inevitable eX-
pense of our national downfall.
1t is the same spirit, spirit one and indi-
visible, the spirit of Locofocoism, of radi-
calism, of destructiyeness, of innovation, OF
violence, OF usrpation, of rapacity, OF reek-
less disregard of law and right, that has
prompted ard sustained all these aud hun
bred other similar outrages, and to that spirit
the Wings are opposed--opposed to il now
and opposed to it forever. Between the
spirit of Locofocoism and the broad, liberal,
and conservative spirit of WhIgism, there
is no more relationship than between dark
ness and light. Questions of national policy
may arise and pass away-the necessity or
the expediency of great public measures
may and often does depend upon the cham
ging condition of the country-but the spirit
of Locofocoism and the spirit of Whigism
are ever unchanged; the one dark, selfish,
reckless, and destructive, and the other open,
honest, generous, expansive, and devoted to
the interests of the country.

ANOTHER BATTLE.
The City of Mexico Captured /

Mr. Il. p. Clark, who arrived in Lancaster
late last Thursday night, brings news d-
rect from Galena, that Gen. ScoTT has
attacked the city of Mexico, routed the
Mexican army with a Slaughter Of 5000 OF
their troops and the rest made prisoners,
except Santa Anna, who run away. The
fight was horribly bloody and very pro-
racted. Our army is in the Halls of the
Aztecs!
There is no doubt that the above news is
substantially true.

A STRANGE Casa young girl has late
ly been brought to this city for the benefit of
eminent medical treatment, who has been
suffering for several years with strange in
trinity Il is a noise in the throat, loud and
distinct, and sounds like the striking of two
metals together, or castanets used by boys
in the street. The noise is without inter-
mission, save perhaps for a few minutes oc-
casionally. As yet, the cause of the noise
has not been ascertained, or any means
found TO abate the disorder, which so far
has been on a gradual increase. It's totally
distinct from the motion of the lungs, while
breathing, and altogether is one of those
cases which are beyond the ken of human
wisdorm-Boston 1'rGveller.
