one gentleman venturcd so far as to raise It
with the toe offhis boot escaping unscnthed.
After being exposed some twenty minutes
TO the gaze ofthose present, DR., Wainwright
attempted to return the snake TO the box, and
for that purpose, inconsderntely seized the
venomous thing with his make hand, when,
in an instant, with only the slightest premon-
tory rattle, the reptile raised his head, threw
back his upper jaw, and Shitck-the fangs en-
teriug between the fingers, and fastening on
the inside of the riug-finger ofthe right hnnd.
Immediate measures were taken to pre-
vent the spread the poison through the
system. The flesh in the neighborhood Of
the wounded part was cut out, and Dr. VAIN
wright removed to his house in Crosby street,
where other medical and surgical aid was
called, without delay, and in few minutes
the room was filed with his professional
friends, among whom were Drs. Whitaker,
Parker and Caldwell, of the Institute.
Energetic means were made use otto coun-
teract the effect of the venom, hut unaccoun-
tably, all known remedies seemed ofno
avail, and the entire arm commenced swell
ing most fearfully. At this juncture we are
informed that DR.. Wainwright, with much
presence ofmind, begged TO have an ampu-
tation the whole arm performed, but alter
consultation, this course was deemed inadvi-
sable, and the victim, enduring the most eX-
cruciatng agony, continued to sink, and final
" expired ut haitian hour after midnight-the
lamp of life going out ut last quietly,and with,
apparently, no struggle.
The unhappy man seemed TO possess his
full faculties almost the last moment, and was
perfectly aware of the fate to which he was
inevitably Fastening. Some fifteen minutes
before his decease, turning to a friend who
was supporting him, "This is horrible" said
he, MS he felt the extreme pain leaving his
hand, and the sensation Of ensc slowly creep
ing up the arm from the seat of the wound.
"This is horrible to know that death is
gradually feeling his way to my vitals That
arm is dead already and placing the unin-
iured hand over his heart--"the destroyer will
soon be uERE!" This acute knowledge of
his sure dissolution, which, rs n medical man,
he must have possessed, could have been
nought else than truly fearful.
The body after death, presented the usual
appearance of dccease from the bite of those
hideous reptiles, it being frighttuIly swollen
and mottled.
The snake, we believe, was secured by MIR.

England, and the son of one of the principal
bankers in the British metropolis. lie had
been n resident ofthis city for some years,and
had an extensive practice in addition TO the
position he occupied at the Crosby street In

Dreadful Death from the Bite
ola RattIesnake.

The papers have announced the death of
DR.. Wainwright, ofNew York; occasioned
by the bite of a rattlesnake. The following
particulars of his death, from the N. Y. Globe,
possess a thrilling interest
"On Thursday afternoon, DR.. Wainwright
received from brother-in-aw in Alabama,
through one of our packets, number ofrare
plants, &c.-the productions of that section
of the Union-and, probably, for the the pur-
pose of furnishing II subject for more scientif-
ic experiments, Il rattle-snake six feet long,
was contained in the invoice.
The reptile was securely boxed, but it
seems that DR.. W., for the purpose of exhIb-
iting it to some friends in the evening, took
the box to the Broadway House, corner of
Grand and Broadway,where, knocking off
the top, the snake was let loose upon the bar
room floor. Throwing itself into coil, the
dangerous creature Immediately commenced
that low hum, or species of ringing, mot the
rattle,) which is peculiar to the species, and
seemed inclined to remain quiet; probably
the change of climate produced u sort oftor-
por, and it was repeatedly teased with stick,
without betraying much viciousness. Indeed

Mr. POIk's PrCtcxtS for his War a.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Several days have now elapsed since our
readers in this city and generally elsewhere,
were put in possession of the Annual Mes
sage of the President of the United States to
both Houses of Congress. Until TO day we
have purposely lorborne from comment upon
it, from an unaffected desire not 10 interfere
with their free digestion Of its contents. That
opportunity having been fairly afforded, we
now proceed to state with plaiuncss, but we
hope without offence to any well disposed
reader, our views upon its leading topics: and
first because it is first in the Message, and
uppermost in every mans mind, upon so
much of the document as relates to
THE WAR WITH MEXICO.
n Whatever alarm we
and our readers felt at this beginning, has
certainly been fully justified by the progress
of events. Even that precipitation in the ac-
ton of Congress-that preamble, affirming
two distinct falsehoods-that tyranny by
which a vote was eXtortcd from the two llou-
ses, have been continually appealed TO 10y the
Executive organs as evidence oil the unanlin-
ty Of the national will in appreciation of the
war. In the Message before US, that appeal
is repeated, accompanied with statement,
in terms, that the declaration that 'the War
exists by the act of Mexico" was passed
"with great unanitnity" in Congress;though 1t
must be known 10 the Executive that but
small majority in either House of Congress
approved that declaration, many members
declaring their repugnance 10 1t, some their
abhorreuce oft. Votes taken III both liou-
ses of Congress at the second session oil the
same Congress plainly established this fact,
IL t,,, n
The popular elections which have interview
cd certainly leave no excuse for doubt upon
any mans mind that ma jority ofthe people
of the United States are against this war, aud
its authors.
Instead of reinquislng, in Difference to
the popular will, thus clearly expressed, any
part of his original scheme ofconquering and
annexing a considerable por ton oftho terri
tory of MeXico, the President comes to Con-
gress and demands its concurrence IN plan
for colonzng and anneXing almost one half
of Mexico, with recommendation to con-
tinue the war until he, the conqueror, conquerS
all the residue of that unhappy Republic, in
