some time among the mannikins, the Emperor
OF dlmlnutlves wanted help in a very foolish and
wicked war that he had got into with another
pigmian state SO he gave Lemuel the commits
sion OF Generalissimo and seat him to lead an
Army OF Occupation" into Beuscu, the coun-
try Of his enemy. We need hardly say what
was the event: Qunbusfestrin, (he man .modn-
tain,) by single mastery stroke, utterly disccm-
fitted BIefuscu, and reduced that republic to sue
Tor peace on any terms. Great was the ioy
through Lilliput; nightly did the puny mon
arch and his small grandees swell at the success
of their invincible arms.
Quite civil were they, for full week, to
Quinbushestrin; they actually brevettod him and
gave him an additional ration. Presently, how
ever, they bethought them of the natural emnty
OF low against high, of an inch against foot I;
they reflected that the people might be struck
with the advantages Of possibly having q man
six feet high to reign over them and so they got
up articles of attainder against him, alleging
that he had not sufficient respect for the Empe-
ror that he ought in the late battle, to have ex-
terminated Beuscu that the services he had
rendered made it clear he was dangerous to the
Court; all which considered, these wise, brave,
and grateful little statesmen voted, unanimously,
! that he, Qnlnbusilestrin, was public enemy
should be shot all over with poisoned arrows
should have his eyes put out, in order to revive
his patriotism and should finally be starved TO
death, as warning 10 all future men of stature
who might be fooshly disposed to render signal
services to the country.

VIRGINIA VS.. VERMONT.
We read as follows in the newspapers

W iNuN 10 lOllOWb III lub hCNopupOlos
"The Legislature of Virginia have requested
the Governor of that State TO return, to the Ex-
ecutve of Vermont the resolutions adopted by
the latter state, ON the subject of the Mexican
war and slavery, The same disposition had pre-
vlously been made of similar resolutions from
Maine and New Hampshire"
This is rich parugraph-full of juice. Yer
mont had resolved, first, that she is in favor of
bringing the Mexican war to an honorable close
as soon as possible-and secondly, that she will
never consent to the admission of new slave
states. Now the first resolution was so clearly
right that no fault could be found, even by the
most submated of Virginia abstractions,s and
the second being simply plain and strong dec
aration that Vermont WON'T agree to another
inch Of Slavery, no how, poor Virginia couldn't
help herself The beauty of the. Vermont reso-
lutions is that they leave no room for argument
Virginia is obliged to return them unanswered,
simply because they are unonswerable. For once
the sayocr0ts have been cornered.
II we do not mistake the signs of the times,
the little ball which the Wings Of Vermont put
in motion at the last session of the legislature, is
the very thing which is to put an end to this Mex
lean War and TO the Slavocratc policy OF annex
alton. II has already rolled through states en-
ough to secure the rejection of any Slavocratc
Treaty; the Interior purpose, which was at the
and ere long it will be found, that the very men
who provoked the War will be most anxious for
peace. Witness Mr.. Calhoun.

The Picture of a Monster.

A member OF the Massachusetts Legislature
has drawn the following full length portrait of
the present Administration:
First, there is the gorgon head: that is the
Baltimore Convention. The right arm-that is
Southern slavery. The left arm. that is British
pluper labor. The trunk is cotton and British
machinery. The legs-they are Free Trade
There stands the spectre, looking at the lreemen
Of this Commonwealth, with an idiotic, insane,
satanic leer Credit-hgh wNges-and employ
ment-the three popular nymphs and graces OF
this country, who so recently, in virgin white,
danced their merry rounds on every green hill
and beside every pleasant stream, come trooping
in to weep at its feet,
Trade at home is fettered and hand.cutfed
with metallic shackles. Slaves labor --freemen
fight. There Is an expensive foreign war; Mark
my word, Mr.. Speaker should this state OF things
continue for three years, there will not be spe
Gle paying Bank, or Government, from the St.
CroiX to the Rio Grande.

FURTHER FROM MEXICO.-The New Or
leans Picayune of the 3D. gives in detail the dis
cusson in the Mexican Congress on the projet to
raise fifteen millions by mortgages on the prop
erty Of the clergy selling the same if necessa-
ry to raise that sum-
The pr0iet was laid before the Mexican Con.
gross on the night of the 9Th of January, and on
the morning of the 9Th the discussion was com
menced, but was limited to 5 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, when there was a recess until in the
evening. A statement was then read from the
Vicar General in opposition to the projet. AT
ter much discussion, the PROFIT to mortgage the
property was carried-55 to 81
The question on giving power to sell the
Church property was then discussed, and decided
in the affirmative to 35.
The ministers argued that unless means were
placed at the command of the Government the
Vice President could not be responsible for the
safety of the country, and they were apprehen-
svc that without funds the army would be dis
banded, and would march upon the capital to
| light the fires of civil war.
There were no accounts in the Mexican pa
pers received OF Congress having taken any act
ION to secure peace with the United States On
the contrary, all the debates contained the most
hostile feeling to the Americans.
The committee appointed to proceed to San
Luis Potosi to inform Santa Anna of his election
to the Presidency, state that in reply to questions
relating to the condition Of the army, he boosted
OF having sufficient private means to carry on the
war for six months. The committee left him,
highly graf fled with the information.
The Mexican Government has promoted Gen.
In Vega from the brevet title 10 the rank of
Brigadier General.
The Governors of Zaca'ecas and Durango,
hostile to Santa Anna, refuse to comply with his
demands, 10 place the ordinary and the extraor-
binary resources OF those States at his disposal.
The Mexican editors appear to be well ac-
quaInted with the movements aud number of our
troops, which they give with great exactness.-
They publish Santa Annals dispatches of the
late attack upon Capt. May.
Letters from correspondents mention the rumor
of the death of Santa Anna, but still contiIma
ton is wanted.
