E7y COMMUNICATION FROM GA WING"
We hope no one who reads the Presidents
Message will fail to peruse the very able and
timely article on the "preteris" for the war
with Mexico 1t is a very rare case that we
find so much important testimony, on so i'm
portant an occasion together with such per-
in the production presented this week and
signed "a WIG" We have deemed it i'm
portant that this article accompany the Mes
sage, and we trust those who read it will
cheerfully dispense with general news items
until another week, when we hope to be able
to give greater variety than we have for
three weeks past.
Several Acknowledgements for publications
arc due those who have forwarded, but we
must defer until more convenient season.
The Boston markets are omitted because of
the delay in the arrival of the Southern mail,
and for another very good reason, viz; the
travelling is so bad that people in this section
having cattle, sheep and wool for sale, cannot
get them to market should the prices be ever
so high!
Thomas j. CAMPBELL, of Tennessee,
Wing, is elected Clerk of the House Of Rep
resentatives. Mr. Brodhead of Pennsylvania
has given notice that he shall move a repeal
of the law of last session of Congress, which
charges postage on Newspapers within 80
miles of place of publication.
