BTCatch one of those locofocos who voted
Tor the war and ask b i'm why he don't enlist,
and his patriotism (or rather cowardice) will
ooze out OF his mouth and he will call you
Jnderd! ('rhere is good deal of this mouth
Patriotism.) He don't even think he is him
self the tederat-that it is more federal to vote
tor war and then sneak out of fighting it than it
is to oppose measures that lead to war and then
wait, to see if those who voted the war into ex-
istence won't fight, before you enlist! The
co"drd'y locotocos groan terribly when it is
limited to them it would be consistent for them
to fight as they voted. You can tell one of
this sort-he' II cry federal-seeing his own
face IN glass, we suppose-yet not darkly.

hope ofsuccess in our efforts to stir up our To-
coioco friends,in this section, to enlist in, and
fight the war, for which they voted. We
have expended considerable patriotism Gas
good patriotism az theirs) to this end but they
don t enlist-have been more patriotic than
they, for we don't hear of any one of the party
even soliciting others to go to Mexico, unless
it be some one receiving fat pay for his labor.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, AND OTHER VAsARrEs.-
Rumors are ahoat that the sage Of Quincy has
come out in favor Of the annexation of the whole
of Mexico. That seems to be very probable
Mr. Adams has always been eccentric. On the
Oregon question, when Mr.. Polk claimed to
ffty.four forty, the sage Of Quincy claimed as
much, and quoted some chapter and verse in
Genesis-we forget which-as his authority for
doing SOVIET, at the same time, he predicted that
Mr.. Poll would give up his claim in some round
about way That prediction was verified. Mr.
Adams will probably claim the whole Of Mexico,
and be willing to annex it. in his speech in the
House but he will be content, should peace
be made, with the Rio Grande for a boundary.
It is also said that Mr.. Benton has separated
himself from the administration, and that he
will evacuate the Military Committee, when the
Senate meets, and will oppose Mr.. Polk here
after. Other rumors are atloat, Of other public
men. In fact, the meeting Of the approaching
Congress will be extremely interesting, in vari-
Gus points of view. The new questions will
puzzle and perplex all the old statesmen OF the
day We are turning the sharp corner OF twenty
centuries Who next knocks his head against
the stone WALTZ

The principal Aucioneers Of Boston have withdrawn their
advertisements from the Daily Advertiser and have detemn
ed hereafter advertise in but two papers whereupon the
Daily makes the following remarks
"Some Of the aueoneers of Boston announced yesterday
that they should hereafter advertise their sales in part only
Of the newspapers published here They have made too much
profit out Of advertising to be willing continue il longer If
any Of their customers wishes TO have known that he
has goods SELL he advertise the fact HIMSELF and pay
the newspaper instead paying the auconeer for the service
This is it should Be- 1t has long struck all business
that il strange aat the newspapers should do the
work Of auction Advertising and the auconeers receive the
pay The selfdenyng spirit Of the auconeers viii now put
the matter on night footing Those who have any thing
to sell will insist upon having advertised properly, and the
bills for advertising will be paid to those who have done the
work. There any why the auctioneers-
mere agents in the ransacoe-shoud receive immense
profit for doing er simple day II might be well, perhaps,
that they should have comraon upon the amount paid Tor
this purpose but ii tIhey unwilling TO receive
any Thing The matter therefore, placed upon its just and
proper basis and stands II should have done years ago.

siderable figure in their reckoning and that they will very

Minnesota LANDS.

There are number of United States SURVEYORS
engaged in surveying within what is now consdel
ed the new Territory Of Minnesota, on the land
lately purchased from the Chippewas. Some d
the surveyors are running out the meridian line
and others are employed in running off the lants
into townships and sections. The spirit of specu.
ton in lands, town sites, mill sites, &c. is ouie
rife IN the new Territory, stimulated no doubt Ey
the recent heavy operations of one or two comp.
MES from Boston. These companies are said %
comprise men of heavy capital and great political
influence with the Administration at Washington
They have gone eagerly into the purchase of lands
or rather settlers rights for the lands are no
yet IN the market, and they express determine
ton to bring into the country large amount 0
capital and population, to be drawn not only from
different parts of the Union but from Europe
Others have caught the fever, and are exertnl

GEN. SCOTT AND MR.. TRIST.
FROM THE NEW ORLEANS rIcAruNE OF AUGUST 8

NEW ORLEANS PIcAYuNE OF AUGUST g.
The country has heard much of the existence of
difference between these two gentlemen, but have
very little knowledge Of its nature. Wehave look
ed in vain for explanation of it to the various
quarters whence might expect to be enlightened.
Letters were received here by the Fashion, we are
told, which mention that upon the arrival of Mr..
TRIsT at the headquarters of the army he manifest
ed very little respect for the commanding General.
1t is said that he neglected entirely to call upon
Gen. ScoTTto pay hisrespects Gen. Scott did not of
course call upon him, and no direct personal inter-
would have taken place between them but for
the fact that Mr.. Trist became severely i'll. Gen.
Scott then overlooked the marked slight towards
himself, waited on Mr.. Trist, and was assiduous in
rendering such personal offices as the somewhat
alarming situation of the Minister demanded
This difference about a mere matter OF etiquette,
though trifing in ITSELF was of bad augury for the
harmonious cooperation of the General and the
Commissioner in bringing about peace 1t was
quite natural that Gen. Scott should look with sus-
plcous and jealous eye upon anagent OF the Govern
ment, who, though previously but clerk in the
State Department, was the bearer of plenary pow
ers to conclude peace with Mexico. The power
to conclude peace would seem TO include the les
ser power of making an armistce or truce, and to
the extent of this power the movements of General
Scott might be controlled. 1t was rather haugh-
ty STEP it would seem, for the Government ennis
sary to commence his operations by an assumption
or affectation of superiority, and to expect the old
General to play the courer to him; for it was not
expected, we presume, by the Government that
they should act quite independently of each other.
In the letters we have published from Mr. Kendall
there seems to be studous care not to touch upon
the difficulties between the General and Mr. Trist.
We willing to follow the example set US, until
such time as the whole affair may be laid before the
country but in the mean time have felt at liberty to
mention the want of courtesy evinced by Mr.. Trist
in the outset. We have heard it alluded to before,
but it is only since the Fashion has arrived that
have learned definitely the nature Of the slight
