True Hing Doctrine. Webster in his
Chicago letter thus announces the true Wing
doctrine on the subject Of Harbor and River
Improvements "
s.Of the power Of the Government to make
appropriations for erecting harbors and clearing
rivers never entertained particle Of doubt.
This power, in my Judgment, is not partial,
limited, obscure, applicable to some uses, and
not applicable to others, TO some States, and
not to Others, 10 some rivers, and not TO others.
as seems to have been the opinion of gentle
men connected with the Memphis convention.
!" For one, | reject all such far-fetched and
unnatural distinctions. In my opinion, the
authority of the Government in this respect
rests directly on the grant of the commercial
power to Congress, and this has been so under
stood from the beginning by the wisest and
best men who have been concerned in the ad-
ministration Of the Government; and is con-
sequently general, and limited only BY the i'm
portance Of each particular subject, and the
discretion Of Congress-"

though small is Objectionable, and must be regarded
as an impnrity, the Mineral Water Processes to be

NO PEACE YET.

| =
On the 3Oth day Of june, lsz7, General
Scott was at Puebla, and-no peace was yet.
Whether he celebrated American Independ-
ence Day in the Capital Of the Aztec Empire
BY The downfall Of Mexican Independence.
time alone will tell He was anxiously wait
ing for the arrival of the reinforcements under
Generals Cadwallader and General Pillow the
Ditch-Digger, but they had not arrived on that
day. Their tramp through the passes and
over the mountains and sand-felds, according
to rumor, was one Of great toll and constan,
warning, and. some say, of heavy loss. But
our adyices from Puebla on the 3Oth of June,
talk Of peace, aye, talk Of il quite loudly. The
sequel will show that this talk about il will be
the only peace we shall ever have with
the magnanimous Mexican nation" as
nation. Any real peace we shall ever get
with these people will be the peace of
force. Il seems, however, that General Scott,
had SO far submitted 10 the Messenger from
the State Department, Colonel Trist, Of Ha-
vana and slave trade memory-as TO send
that sealed packet TO its destination--the desk
Of the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs
Y seems, also, that the sealed packet contained
oyertures of peace by the American President,
that it had reached lis destination and that Santa
Ana, Mr.. Folks very particular friend, was try
ing, or says he was trying, to get the Mexican
Congress together to consider the propositions
Of our Executive for the restoration Of peace.
Il seems, further, that Santa Ana had not been
able, at last dates, to find enough of their ex-
cellent dignataries to make a quorum to do
business, and from all accounts, tits probable,
he will never find quorum for the purpose Of
discussing the proposals Of the "magnanimous
conquerorso Of the great Mexican nation. Such
is fair view Of the state Of things in the cap
ilal Of Mexico, and at Puebla on the 29th and
Both of June. Who shall say that in these
proceedings are the "harmonies" Of peace p
Every rejecting man will scout the idea. Our
proposition, If sincere, which we do not be-
lieve, is mere spasmodic movement, and the
enemy pretends to listen to it, but only for the
purpose of gaining time. Whether General
Scott has found himself shorn OF his powers
to such degree as to be unable to precipitate
the decision Of Santa Ana upon the American
proposition, remains to be seen. We look with
interest for the next news. Meantime, we OBJ
serve. that Mr.. Kendall, who was at Puebla on
the 30th Of June, does not believe that we have
even begun to enter upon the road TO peace.

FROM THE ARMY.

Tax GUERILLA WARFARE. Our troops
in Mexico continue to experience the horri-
BILE effects Of the murdeTous partizan warfare
with which The Spanish blood has ever met
the invaders of their soil. Another valuable
life has been sacrificed, in the same silent
and inglorious manner in which Cross, Por-
ter, Ritcbie and others met their deaths. A
letter from Camargo Of the 10th ult. says -
We were all thrown into inter confusion
Yesterday by the sudden disappearance of I'd
Lieut.. Alfred Crozer, Of the 9Th regiment oil
infantry. Parties were Immediately sent out
in all directions. and :he most dIligent search
was made in the town and about the suburbs.
This morning his body was found two miles
from the town, horribly mutilated. and it was
with great difficulty that he was recognized
by his friends. 1t is supposed that he went
out to ride for exercise, and that he was muir
dered and robbed by some ofthe numerous
rancheros who infest the surrounding country.

NEW HAMrsHIRE ELECTIONS. Hills
New Hampshire Patrio, claims the election
of Mr.. Williams by not less than thousand
majority. Also. that the Democratic candi-
.laIes for the Senate are chosen in the Dis
tric,s Nos /, 4, 6. z, 8. 10 and 10, and prob
ably in No. 8. The Wings have succeeded
in Nos. 2, ) and 9, and in No. ii there is no
choice.
The Patriot also claims majority Of Is in
the next House Of Representatives. This
may not be correct, bnt it is true enough that
its party has the majority, and few numbers
more or less. make but little consequence.
We have before stated the election Of two
Democratic members of Congress in Districts
No. . and 3. In No. and No. there is no
choice. Had the opposition united. their
candidates would have been successful. Last
year, such a victory would have been consid-

RUTLAND ROAD.

The Editor of the Free Press has lately
had an opportunity to examine the line Of
the road between the summit at Mount Hol-
" and Bellows Falls, and states that the ex
cavation and filling up at JEWELS Brook so
long set up by Mr.. Walton as the scare crow
of the Rutland Road, is now in rapid prog
ress, and will be completed with all possible
dispatch.
Mr.. FELTON, by his survey calculated a
million of cubic yards to be filed up at this
point, But BY the survey lately conducted
by MIR. Gilbert in person, about rs per cent.
of this immense work will be avoided, his es-
innate being for about $50 cubic yards. This
section Is in the hands Of Messrs. Decker &
Warner, who are already well advanced in
the work. Gen. Clark believes these con-
tractors will realize a handsome profit in the
job.
At Bartonsvile the same contractors have
the work under progress al several points.
Messrs. Baxter & Co. have opened two
points Of the Bellows Falls division, which is
about two miles from Bellows Falls.
Mr.. Gilbert is now surveying and locating
the route between Mount Holly and Bran
don.
On the norther division from Burlington
to Brandon, the work is steadily progress
ing. In additions 10 the operations Of Pot
aslr Brook; the contractors are erecting shan
ties preparatory 10 commencing work OH

We understand that strong company
has been formed in Brandon, who have coll
tracted 10 build ore Hundred Thousand
Dollars worth of Railroad cars, and are e
recting the necessary buildingsto carry on

NEW POST OFFICE LAW.

The New Post Office law which was pas
sed through Congress on the last day Of The
session and with very litile discussion en-
braces many provisions very important TO
The people Of the country. We perceive no
material alterations on letter postage. But
in relation TO news papers TO transient paper
can be sent without an advance of three
cents. The people are further cut of from
The privilege of receiving their papers free
from charge within 80 miles from the place
publication. We did not believe that this
provision Of the law so peculiarly acceptable
to the country would have been so soon a.
5andoned. Instead Of endeavoring 10 raise
Il little money by obstruc,ing the free trans
mission ofiutelligence through the nation, we
did hope that the more liberal policy which
for two years past mad prevailed would be
still more extended. But the proiusc expen-
diiure Of millions upon millions ofthe public
monics'in carrying on the Mexican war has
rendsed the government callous 10 every
other interest OF the nation. Their course
in relation to the post Office law is not
more unkind and niggardly than in relation
To our inland navigation and relief TO the
Irish.

The Independent Democrat says -
To say that we are not mortified, as We'll

affeclation. We are botf. We have well
known, all the lille. how desperate aud un-
firing were the efforts Of our opponents. We
have seen them pouring out their money like
water. We haxe witnessed with what reck-
lessness they have staked both their souls and
bodies on this contest. But we did not be-
lieve they could succeed. We did not be-
Iieve the free sous Of New Hampshire. after
having once discarded the base men who have
dissraced and betrayed their country, could
ever again trust them, till deep and long re-
pentance should atone Tor past transgression.
OF all the causes which have produced a
result. over W. ich the friends Of human lib
erty everyw here will mourn. we have not
time now to speak. The Radicals have also
probably elected three Councillors-seven
Senators. and possibly a majority Of the
House. This. however. is SO close, that the
exact state Of parties there may not be GER
tainly known till the Legislature come toseth-
er. In conclusion, we would say TO our
friends. Ire Of good cheer Keep the flag OF
Independent Democracy flying; and be pre-
pared 10 retrieve all, aud more than all that
has now been lost. One year will suffice to

LATER FROM MExIco.-We have intteli-
gence, via HAVANA, from the Capital Of Mex
leo, TO the 5th ult., three days later than pre-
vious advices.
The Church had effectuaIly resisted the
seizure Of its property, and Santa Anna, con-
WINGED Of the unpOpularity Of the con6scation
act, had written to the Congress, urging its
modification or repeal. A bill was thereupon
submitted, repeating the obnoxious law, and
authorising the government TO receive loan
OF $3.50, 600 per month, which, il was under
stood, they would consent 10 advance Till
peace was secured.
Santa Anna bad seized % bars OF silver be-
longing 10 merchants Of San Luis, for which
he had given his personal guaranty. The
country around had been subjected TO re-
QUESTION for supplies, without prospect of re-
Enumeration.
Santa Anna had forwarded Responding
letter to the Government. He replies TO the
charge Of apathy made against him, paints
the horrible desttution of his forces, reiter-
ates his and their protestatons of valor and
patriotism, and declares his readiness to retire
into private life, or to go again into foreign
exile, if Congress think best. If they wish
him to remain at the head OF the army, they
know his firm resolution, which is 10 meet the
enemy and to win imperishable glory for his
country by death or victory.
He adds that he is about TO meet the enc
my. The capture Of the American detach-
nents had reused some enthusiasm. The
letter was dated 29th Of January. Active
preparations for defence were making at Vera
Cruz as late as the 9th. The national bridge
and point Chiquihuite are receiving formida-
BILE additions to their strength. An act pass

RELIEF MEETING.

At this meeting there were but few atren-
dedexcept the Irish population. The feel
ing which was manifested by them on this
occasion, was that which did honor to ma
ton who are proverbial for their warmth ear
ted generosity. deep COMMUNICATION for
the famisning population Of the father land
seemed to have absorbed their whole souls
and drank up their spirits. We understand
that the Irish in this vicinity have already
subscribed to the amount Of about S160-a
large contribution for men who toll from day
to day for their daily bread-and shall the
people Of Middlebury be deafto the cries for
bread which by every arrival rom Europe
grows more awful and heart-rendIng.
