From what precedes it appears that the Gov.
ernmcnt Of the United States considered the re-
lusal Of Mexico TO receive a resident envoy or
minister as a sufficient cause for war, and the
Rio del Nore as lhe legitimate boundary Of
Texas. The first opinion is now Of no impor-
lance; but the question Of boundary, which was
the immediate cause of hostiliIios, has to this
day been the greatest impodiment to the restor.
alton Of peace. | feel satisfied that if this was
seued there would be no insuperabe difficulty
in arranging other pretensions.
The United States claim no other portion Of
the Mexican dominions, unless il be by right of
conquest. The tract Of country between the
Rio Nueces and the del Norte is the only one
which has been claimed by both parties as res.
pecliveIy belonging either TO Texas or to Mcxi.
co. As regards every Other part of the Mexi.
can possessions, the United States never had
claimed any portion of it, The iniquily of ac.
quiring any portion Of il otherwise than by fair
compact, freely consented to by Mexico, is self.
evident. 1t is in every respect most important
TO examine the grounds on which the claim Of
the United States to the only territory claimed
by both nations is founded. II is the main ques.
ton at issue.

TIE WAR POLICY.

Washington Dec. l8--Samrday evening.
MIR. Calhoun will call up his resolutions early
next week, aud name day for their considora.
ton, which will not be until after New Years
day. There is adspostion among some orthe
Senators TO regard the resolutions as too abstract
in their character. They, however, embody
very plain principle OF right in regard to the
war with Mexico, and so far are practical. A
war OF conquest is pronounced wrong; and SUBJ
velsve OF the best interests Of our country, and
the annexation OF Mexico is looked upon by the
Senator from South Carolina, us u National ca.

Upon every consideration orpubic policy and

seat OF war, you can know but little of the fruits

Our messmaies were equally as determined TO
see someorlhe fun and enjoy some oflhe dancing
with the girls at the party, as Gen. Wool was
that they should slay in camp that night. But
how TO effect their object was matter of pro-
found though ycxalious study. In the midst.
however, Of their plans and schemes, none Of
which promised to secure the objects so dear to
them, Pat was taken suddenly i'll, aud swore by
all the saints in the calendar he mus, be carried
TO the hospital, or he would die entirely: and
Immediately poor Saunders and Bertha, with sad
hearts, rolled Pat up, all dressed as be was IN
his best apparel, in a blanket, and taking corner
in each hand with the watchword Of a 'sIck man
for the hospital, they soon passed the sentry.
When out Of haing distance, Pat exclaimed,
"boys LEI me down aisy; we've pulled the wool
over ould Wool's eyes, and now let's be alIher
the dance; and away they scampered TO the we'd
ding, where the adventure was soon told, which
rendered the boys, aud Pat in particular, the
lions Of the evening. They returned to camp
next morning. reported there sick comrade we'll

said, however. then Gen. Wool, having some
inkng of the trick that was played off on him,
has determined that for the future, when there
is any fun going on in Iowa, there are to be no
sick men, particularly from the Mississippi rtgi-
ment, taken to the hospital.

In accordance with whol the Central Commit
tee deem to be the wishes of the Wings of the
State, they have designated WEDNESDAY, THE
10TH OF JANUARY NEXT, as the time for holding
ia MASS STATE CONVENTION, in the city
Of Columbus, 10 deliberate upon the affairs of
our State and Nation. Aud although they have
thought il advisable 10 fix upon an early day
and perhaps nj an nccment season Of the year
yet the well known patriotism of the Wings
of Ohio is earnestly appealed to, for an attend
anco as full as the importance of the occasion
demands.
The signs Of the times are portentous and a.
farming. Our beloved country is enbroed IN
a most unnatural, ruinouS, and unnecessary war
with a sister republic; which war has been pro-
duccd by the imbecile and wicked counsels thai
have prevailed in the administration of our fed
erul government. In the accomplishment Of
this neiarious purpose, We have Witnessed Sc
ries of Executive Usurpalions, which menace
The safety and perpeluIy of The Republic. For
considerable time after the commencement of
hoslililics, the real objects and purposes Of the
War were artlulIy concealed from the public
view; but recently, the Executive has thrown
off the tlnsy disguise, and openly avowed his
unhaIlowcd purpose of CONQUEST. A con.
quest. be il remembered, having for its primary
and ultimate object, the creation oC new mart
for traffic in human flesh! Upon this policy the
State of Ohio has with great unanimity, pro-
claimed and reiterated her sentiments; and we
are confident that We do bu. express the abiding
feelings Of the entire body Of the wings Of the
State, when we declare that they adhere with
unwavering frmness to those sentiments,

RULES-THE ONE HOUR RULE, &c.
AZ ,SurNcrnN n.sc. 10 1917


The House of Representatives has done itself
credit to-day in re-eslablishing the one hour
rue,--one Of the good fruits OF the 9Th Con-
gress. II other of the good measures Of this
Wing Congress could bo perpeuaIed, it would
be we'll for The country. There was much Op.
position TO the rc-enactment Of the rule, and
some on both sides of the House. A compro-
mise was attempted by halfhOur's extension,
but not successfully. Tho old members of the
House parook largely of the debate, and gave
their reasons PRO and COY uponits adoption. The
Previous Question had finally 10 be brought to
the aid of the issue, and handsome majority
refused the odd half hour, aud STOOD by the old
rule.
There was another good rule also adopted, re-
quiring the Chairman Of the Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union, and of the
Whole House, (lhe last having charge Of Pri-
vate BiIls) to report TO the House the names Of
absent members, whenever these committees
shall be broken up for want of a quorum, aud
also requiring the Clerk to place the names Of
these abSentees upon the Journal Of Proceed
ings. There was pretGy emphatic negative TO
this rule among the lruant y.disposed members,
but the majority i'll favor Of il was very large.
One other Of the new rules adopted, allows a
member 10 address the Spcakerlrom the Clerks
desk, or near The Speaker. This is an attempt
to introduce the French custom of the rosIrum.
Aneady the House is divided between the par.
ties, as is customary in Parliament. The whig
members are upon the left Of the chair, and
the democratic members upon the right. There
is some convenience in this, lhongh il contrib
utes no doubt to widen party divisions, and to
keep up party asporlles.
The great Chancellor Kent, of New York
a man Of a lhouSand-a giant in intellect, but a
child in feelings, as have just heard, gave al
most his dying testimony against The origin,
progress aud designs of the war with Mexico,
and not alone in lerler to Mr.. Webster, but in
one to the able, genllemany and truly patriotic
Proprletors Of the National lnleigeuccr. The
name Of Kent presents a weight of testimony
hardly second TO that OF Gaaun, Clay and Cal.
houn. When such men speak the nation ought
10 heed. y. y.
