the recent overwhelming defeat of Mexi-

the editor Of the Advertiser, the leading fed.

that the editor Of the Advertiser has a COM
mission in the Michigan volunteer regi.

no opportunity to abuse the war and gov
ernment, and urge the withdrawal of the
army. In this he has followed in the foot

Rumored Escape OF Santa Anna.

RICHMOND, Nov. 18, ls47.
By late arrivals at New Orleans, we
have news from Tampico. 1t was ru-
mored there that Santa Anna had escoped
from the country on board Of an English
steamer, but this report received little credit
at Vera Cruz.
Gen. Santa Anna has recently issued an
address to the army bidding them farewell.
He animudverted pretty severely upon the
Congress of Queretaro, for their decree
against his exercising the Office of Chief
Magistrate and Commandcr-in-chief Eof the
army.
Rincon has been appointed to fill his
place at the head of the army of the Re-
public. Santa Anna declined appearing
at Queretaro in obedience to summons
of court martial, on the. ground that no
power existed to summon an Executive be-
fore such tribunal. Pills. Post.

'sThe Popular Vote"

The Ohio Star says that "by hard strain
ing" the democrats shave made out tor
themselves majority of 1863" And the
editor thinks that s'any calculation OF the
popular vote in such an election must be
wholly fallacious - Just after the result
of the election in this State was known in
Columbus, the federal Executive Commit
tee of Ohio, issued Circular, in which
they congratulated their brethren at the re.
suit of the election, and claimed it as the
voice of the people sustaining the course
and sentiments Of Corwin and his followers.
and as rebuke to the national executive
and those who stand by and support the
government in the prosecution of the war
in which it is engaged, and that, too,
while majority of the popular vote, with
out any "hard straining," was in opposi-
ton to the men and their sentiments who
are in power in Ohio; and the gratulations
Of the feceral committee at Columbus have
been echoed back again by every federal
newspaper in the State, if we except the
Ohio Star, which felt so sorely mortified at
at the scathing rebuke which the people Of
this county had administered to it and its
party, that it could not harbor joy. But it
was exceedingly proper for the federal
committee and the federal press to claim
the result of the election in this State as a
complete justification Of their sentiments
and their measures, and they could do it
too, without any ''hard straining!" "Such
an election" is sufficient for federalism to
base calculation upon, because it has
given them the power-and who ev-
er knew them to scruple at the means by
which to obtain it? or who ever knew them
to refrain from the exercise of that power,
when obtained, against the interests and
wishes ofthe peoples-If the result of the
late election in this State shows any thing
it shows most conclusively that the senti
ments of Mexican whiggery have been re-
buked by the people--that, notwithstand
ing the federalists have a majority of the
members of both branches of the Legisla
ture they have them by mi nority of the
votes cast.
But, ''ony calculation ofthe popular vote
in such an election must be wholly falla.
cious," says the Star. And why, pray?
Because it operates against fedel alism, ane
shows that in persisting in their treasonablt
course, and in carrying out their fedora
notions and policy in their legislative en-
actments, they do it against the expresses
will of the people. Does any one doub
that they will use it?

PolificaI Movement.

- 8 SAt wing uoosi"0 '
ington, KY, on the 18th inst, at which
the Hon. HENRY CLAY, the ''eabodiment"
Of whiggery, made great speech upon the
subject of the Mexican war, and in opPosi-
ton to it. The speech was preceded by
set of resolutions, denouncing the war in
very much the same strain and spirit as the
generality of the federal resolutions. Mr..
Clay's views seem to have undergone
great change within few months past
he has no longer the least desire ''to kill Or
capture Mexican''-or to be 'instrumen-
tal in redressing the ,vrongs Of his country"
In his eagerness and anxiety for the Presi-
dency he abandons his recently expressed
attachment to his country's cause, and goes
over, ''body and breeches," to the service
of the enemy. That Mr.. Clay is anxious
to become the President Of this nation, there
is no doubt in the mind Of any one; and
the recent movenisnts go far to show That
he is to be the candidate ofthe federal par
ty in the campaign Of 1s48.
We find the resolutions and an outline
of Mr.. Clay's speech copied from the Gin.
cinnati Enquirer, (for which paper they
were brought from Lexington, IS miles, in
FIVE hours,) into several of our ex-
changes, but their length and the crowd Of
what we deem more interesting matter,
will prevent our publishing them, at least
at present. Many publishers had sent re-
porters for the purpose of reporting his
speech, but Mr.. Clay would not permit it
to be reported, promising to write il out
and publish it himself, for which reason a
sketch only Of his remarks is given.
~ The Ohio Republican gives a map
of the proposed new county of Clay, to be
taken from the counties of Trumbull, Ash
tabula, and Mahoning. To create this
new county they reduce the county OF
Trumbull below its constitutional limits,
and TO makeup this deficiency, they pro.
pose to annex four of the townships now
part of this county, to the county of Trum
bull. This will explain the object of the
notice which has appeared in our columns
for several weeks past. We know, from
conversation with individuals residing il
some of the townships which they propose
detaching from this county, that the pro
ject will meet with no favor or support ir
| that quarter. When the new county o.
Mahoning was erected, it was regarded as
an outrage upon. the people, majority o.
whom, it was said, were opposed to. it,
Will the same persons who complained SC
bitterly at the saecess Of that project, ant
denounced it as outrageous, now attempt {
similar outrage upon the people of thi'
county, by despoiling it of its territory, fo
the purpose of gratifying their revenge, o.
the benefit of few 'corner-lot speculators
about the new county seat9 We say, "le
us alone" Though there may apparently b.
but little prospect of the success Of this pro
iect, it will be we'll for those who are op
posed to having our county shorn of its fai
proportions (andwho IS not) to keep al
"eye on the picture" during the setting o
the Legislature. 94z;
