The New Orleans Courier Gays that
New England will profit more by the al

any ether section of our country. "The
possession of California for instance, is
nothing to the rest of The Union, but CIV.
erything TO New England. 1t is in the
ports Of Mo ilerey and San Francisco
tina, the whalers Of New England may
find shelter and assistance when crippled
by storm or pursued by enemies; and II
is in California, as well as on the banks
Of the Rio Grande, lha. New England
will find the most profitable and extensive
market for her manufactures Of every
kind. From the east and the west, the
whole territory Of Mexico will lie open
for the introduction Of Yankee goods /;
and that our fellow citizens possess the
ingenuity and activity TO avail themselves
of the opportunities thus afforded, is con.
ceded on all sides. Still they seem TO be
averse to the war with Mexico. and de.
clare it lie shame to conquer the Next
can towns and provinces. But we find
them the first to reap the benefit OF those
conqucsts. The northern ports of Mexl.
co are already filed with their notions.
