Tested o n this trying occasion.
As she had successfully repealed this as

of her house, by driving out the invaders
she soon became restored to her usual equa.
nimity. She repeatedly declared. during
the evening, that nothing but her own eye.
would have convinced her, such had beer
her esteem for the character of Judge t.
She declared that under the same circum.
stances she would have driven from hel
house the President Of the United States.
That night F. slept in the bed reserved
for the Judge, and RECALLED himself will
many little delicacies set apart for the es
pecial use of his honor.
In truth, we who remained were treated
with unusual attention. The Judge who
soon unraveled the mystery, was for a short
time very indignant; but being very sensi.
tive to ridicule, he promised forgiveness up
on condition that we would not tell the
story on the circuit.
H.. however, said it was too good to keep
although he was the principle sufferer.

II The Wings appear determined to
stop at no means within The reach of their
power to embarrass the administration and
throw cold wather upon its efforts to prose-
cute the war with that vigor necessary to
bring it to a successful and carly close

encouraging the Mesicans to hold out, but
they have at length filled the measure Of
their iniquity by attempting to throw OBJ
~stacles in the way of the governments OBJ
tanning the loan desired by Mr.. Polk. The
mode adopted to effect their object, is to
represent, through the journals Of this
country and of England, a large failure Of
revenue by the tariff, and consequently
great financial difficulties in our govern
ment. Capitalists are told that if they loan
their money to our government they will be
aiding in the prosecution Of a war against
a weak and powerless nation, and the blood
of "~innocent Mexico" is held up as a
scare-crow to excite their fears and sympa-
thies. Thus they expect to prevent the
government from obtaining the loan deem
ed requisite for its immediate necessities in
conducting the war, embarrass the admin
istration, and involve the President in diff
%culties. We verify believe that some OF
them would rejoice IN the defeat Of our ar

CO, if by that means the government could
be disgraced and the administration party
overthrown.-(Palmyra Courier.

of the 9Th and 9th of May last, which pre-
cipiated a war with Mexico upon us, a
east three hundred thousand ~voIunteer'
have offered their services to the govern
ment. Is there another country in tn
world where SO large a force could be rails

service in 50 short a time? The eight new
