A Proclamation by Gen. scott.

The Picayune publishes the following hurried trans
laion of proclamation, which has been printed in
Spanish. and addressed by General Scott to the Next
cans. In justice to General Scott, be borne
in mind that the original has undergone two transa-
tons first into the Spanish and then back into
English. 1t will readily to all that liberal
allowance for the style of the proclamation must be
made this account 1t is thought that this Frocla
nation will have weight and influence with the Next
cans. If il should have the effect induce them
to obey the dictates of prudence and wisdom, and to
listen to the overures of our government for hon.
orable peace, Gen. Scott will have achieved 'moral
triumph" of far greater consequence than any battle
which has been fought. Scott takes his SOUP
deliberately, and shall have praise, if he don't
get that of the whigs -.

Mr.. Calhoun's Resolutions.

Those Of our readers, who keep wei
posted up as to the proceedings of Con
gress, recollect no doubt the resolution
recently introduced by Mr.. Calhoun in
TO the Senate, denouncing the project o
conquering Mexico, TO hold it either as
province, or to incorporate it into the U
ion. On Monday the 2Oth, Mr.. Calhoun
NOV d that his resolutions be taken up
IN order that day be fixed for theil
consideration. After considerable dis
cuss,on between Messrs. Calhoun and
Allen as TO the character Of the resolu.
tions, they were postponed by general
consent until Tuesday, the 4ih day Of
January next, and made the special or
der Of The Senate for that day. AS ma
ny persons seem not to comprehend very
clearly the entire scope and object OF
Mr.. Calhoun's resolutions, we subjoin his
answer to the interrog atories propounded
by Mr.. Allen, in the debate before men
toned.
Mr.. Calhoun will answer the
Senator from Ohio with a great deal of
pl-asure.-lt is not my intention TO in.
volve any question in reference to terri
torial indemnity, or any other subject
apart from that which is presented in
the resolution itself. | believe the
pressing question at this moment is,
whether we shall conquer Mexico, and
hold her as a subjected province, or in
corporate her into our Union. That Of
course would involve the nationality of
Mexico, and it was 10 that point that my
resolution referred. think, sir, it is a
question which ought TO be decided, be-
cause, Mr.. President, il am any Judge
at all Of the operation Of existing causes,
the certain tendency Of all that is doing
is to end in the annihilation Of the ma
tionality Of Mexico and we shall thus
find ourselves-unless the greatest eau
tion is exercised-at the end Of another
campaigne or at some future time, with
eight or nine millions of Mexicans with
out any government on our hands, no,
knowing what to do with them, and fore
ed to one or other of the alternatives
which have presented. This is a ques-
ton which ! consider as overriding oil
others at this time. After that is deci-
ded, we may then consider what course,
in accordance with that decision, i, may
be wise to pursue. |, for one, wish to
guide my own course, and | offered the
resolution for the double purpose Of
bringing it before this body, and before
he country, and putting myself in refer
ence to this Mexican question where l
wish 10 stand.

She is only a Kitchen Girl.
by d. &. cOLEswoRTHY.


Truo-but may not warm heart burn
in her bosom f? 1t is viriuous poverty
that obliges her to labor as a dome 81 ic
and her conduct and principles would
not suffer in comparison with many a
fashionably dressed and wealthy female
Virtue d,gniiies and honors any situation
however humble-in which II is found
Let us tell you, young men, that you
manifest in a pre-eminent degree, your
lack Of good breeding and good sense
while you scorn and deride the modest
young lady who is obliged to work as
a domestic for her support. There is
one fact we should like to tell you-no
females make better wives than those
who have been trained to support them
selves from earl, life no matter where
they wOIk--in a kitchen or a cigar fac
tory--in mill or iailor's shop. The
wife Of one Of our wealthy men and a
valuable citizen--was taken from the
kitchen. She is now an honor TO her
sex. We could point to scores Of ex-
cellent wives and mothers, Nho in early
hie were obliged TO work as donestics
And never do we find such women
placed in circumstances where they
cannot support themselves
We have often looked at the inmates
Of work-houses and seldom found there
supported by charity, those who in early
life had been obliged to support them
selves, IL we make exceptions, il will
be against those who lacked virtue and
honesty. There is no trouble wih u
woman who knows how to work, be she
placed in ever so destitute circumstances s.
We have had no little opportunity to
watch the ways Of the world and we
have come 10 this conclusion A young
man in moderate circumstances, who
unites his destinies with female brought
up to work, better succeeds in life, and
enjoys greater degree of happiness.--
lie has companion who is prudent and
industrious careful and ging-and
she studies TO make what is brought into
the house 60 as far as possible. and do
the most service. A man with such a
wife, prospers better in the end, and
generally becomes independent.
BE careful then, young men, not TO
turn up your nose at the excellent young
woman who is so industriously at work
in the kitchen. She may yet obtain a
husband who will far outs,rip you in
wealth and mental requirements. The
time may come, as in instances we have
known, when you will be glad to receive
a favor from her hands. Speak no i'll of
her, and when it is in your power to, do
her a favor, SO that she may not feel
that she is entirely neglected on ac-
count Of her poverty.
