More than seven hundred years ago, an
English King of the conquering Norman
race, seeing IRELAND distracted and
weakened by intestine feuds and the RI
valries ofils warring chiefs, resolved to
conquer and APPROPRIATED. Undoubted-
ly he mouihed becomingly of the barba-
rism, degradation and wretehedness of
the Irish People, conlrasied their intel
lectual, moral and physical condition
with that Of the English, and vaunted his
unselfsh anxiety to extend the blessings
of Industry. Thrift, Religion and Consti-
tutional Liberty. 1t is said that he pro-
cured the sanction oftbe Pope FOR his en-
terprise, ou account Of the good he medi-
tated doing fer the Catholic Apostolic
Faith. Seven centuries have passed.:
Ireland, long resisting ftfully, savageIy.
unnecessarily, has been conquered piece

Britain, in many respects the most pow
erfuI and free Of the'great Kingdoms of
Europe. But is Ireland renovated and

POLAND wasn not many generations back
the bnlwark of Christendom against the
dreaded approaches of the followers Of
the False Prophet. She fell from her
high estate through the fierce dissensions
exerted by her Military caste, absnrdly
designated noble, and at last became the
prey ofthree surrounding powers. They
crushed and divided her How have
they enjoyed their spoil! Let the terri

the agency of Napoleon, and in part by
the aid of Poland-let the bloody fields
of Polish struggle for Independence-let
the uneasiness, apprehension. and ex-
pense still excited by the unconquerable
aversion of the Poles to the destroyers of
their national existance, make nswer.

the efforts of Nations to subvert OF over
run the boundaries which would seem to

bitions and agitations of men. France
has sent forth magnificent Armies to con-

five centuries--she has sung Ie Deumps
for the victories ofhe chivalry at Jerusa-

COW. Yet her boundaries are now al
most precisely where they stood when
she become a nation; they have often ad-
vanced, but few years saw them recede
again. Of all her mighty efforts for con-
quest, grinding National Debt is the
only practical result remaining to her.

The Female Dres, Of the Prt.ent Day.

We are inclined to think that the fe.
male attire of,he present day is, upon the
whole in as favorable a state as the most
vehement advocates for what is called
nature and simplicity could desire. ltis
costume in which they can dress quick
ly, walk uimbly, eat plentfnlIy, stoop
easily. loll gracefully, and in short pec-
form all the duties of life without let or
hindrance. The head is left TO It's natu,
raj size, the skin to its native purity, the
waist at its proper region, the heels at
their real level. The dressis calculated
to bring out the natural beauties cfthe
person, and each Of them has. as far as
we see fair play Flounces are nice
question. We like them when they
wave and flow, as in very light material
muslin or gauze or barege-when la
DIV has no outline aud no mass, but looks
like areceding angel or dissolving view;
but we do not like them int rich mate
rial, where they flop, or in a stiff one,
where they bristle; and where they break
the flowing lines of the petticoat, and
throw light and shade where you do MOI
expect them. In short we like the gowr
that can do without hounces, as Jose
phine liked a face that could 90 withou
whiskers, but in either case it must be {

FELLow CITIZENS: Having finished
our labOrs, we now have the honor OF sub.
mittng to your consideration, through
the governor that constitution (which in
our opinion will best suit the peculiar
circumstances of the people of this in.
fant republic. That our labors will meet
the full appreciation of every individual
citizen, is scarcely to be expected. We
trust however that a large majority of
our fellow-citizens will approve our do
ings, and adopt the constitution herewith
submitted
In our deliberations, we endeavored
to keep our minds steadily fixed upon
the great objects of civil government
and have done what we conceived to be
best for the general interest of this ris.
ing republic. We endeavored carefully
to arrange every subject that might pos
sibly arise calculated to disturbin the least
the friendly feeling which now SO happily
subsists between the different counties OF
this republic. We felt deeply the i'm
portance and magnitude of the work sub
mtted to our hands, and have done the
very best we could to afford general sat
isfac,ion.
In view of the pecularity of our cir.
cumstances, the new position which we
have assumed is indeed u gigantic one
and the government now calls to its sup
port every citizen who is at all interested
or concerned for the safety and future
prosperity of this our only home.
With great respect we have the honor
of being your obedient and humble ser
wants.

Yankee Doodle in tIlc Theatre at
Mexico.

Oct. 8-Last night we had an exciting
scene at the theatre Between the pie
ces the orchestra, which is really a very
fine one, gave us two or three beautiful
airs, and concluded with a Mexico ma
tional air AS soon as they finished, the
audience, being mostly American, called
for Yankee Doodle; but the orchestra
paid no attention. They stamped and
raped, as if they would bring the house
dcwn over our heads, but still the orches-
ira needed not. AT length the bell rang,
aud up went the curtain. The audience
seemed fora instant as ifthey were will
ling tn give it upi but at this moment tall,
slab, sided looking genius, who bore the
appearance ofbeing a real thoroughbred
patriotic volunteer of the first water, rails
ed himself about "halfstraight," " and said
III often heard that Yankee Doodle
was the Americans fghtn' tune, but as
the darned etarnal Creasers kept us so
busy while we were fghtin, that we
couldn't have time even to whistle a little,
think we might have little touch of
Uncle Sans favorite, if its only 10 make
a feller think of the white settlements" I"
This acted like an electric shock upon the
audience, and they recommended their
calls for Yankee Doodle. The actors
appeared upon the stage, but still they
continued to stamp aud haluo. Sonora
Gazette bowed gracefully, and smiled
bewtchingly, but it was no use; they had
determined upon hearing ournational air,
and nothing could persuade them from it.
The actors withdrew, the curtain fell, the
orchestra complied with their demands,
and balance of the evenings entertain
ment passed off in excellent order. A
Mexico gentleman sitting in front of me,
remarked to his friend that it was the
best illustration of the American charac-
ter he had ever witnessed-that when
they once determined upon anything
neither the firmness, of man nor the so
lictation of woman, could induce them t.
cease in their exertions until they hat
accomplished their object, and that il
ten minutes afteror before any efforts, yo,
would think, from their appearance, lha
they were as docie as lambs and asharm
less as infants Eaener.

state that Mr.. Polk has determined not to

not astonished, in the least, at this deter.
mination. ltis freeze or burn, with Mr..
Polk, and has been so since the COM
mencement ofhis administration. There
is no happy medium. He either makes
clustering avowels and fool-hardy deter
minatons, or he does nothing. He took
extreme grounds upon the Oregon ques-
tion and bravely played the farce, until
the critical moment came when business
was ne ecessary, ard then he skulked the
responsibilities and woulddo nothing. He
has now recklessly carried the war as far
as it can go at haphazzard, and when
some settled line Of policy becomes ne
cessary, his boldpess fails him, and he
lreezes-the most admirable specimen of
