damage to all the telegraph lines, with the excep

wire of which weighs three hundred and thirty
pounds to the mile, and is represented as capa-
BILE of sustaining weight of two tons. With
such wire it is almost impossible for communica

hermit the people of Great Britain to amass for

and very little, too, together with the exercise of

ledge that they are changed people. They talk
boldly of cutting canal across the sthmus of
Panama, and making a water communication
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans-they
build large basins, capacious enough to afford
protection for the navies OF the world-they talk
of building railroad to the Pacifie-but they
look hsilessly on, and see foreigners build steam
ships, and make fortunes at their expense. What
strange inconsistency--whas unaccountable
lack of enterprise.
1t is consoling to know that the wealthy men,
\the miLlionaires will be the principal sufferers in
this case. Our men of " moderate means" will

 EleetiaRg

In calling the attention of the DemeeTatic party 10 the necessity of convention, and introducing notice of what we conceived To be the proper iime for holding t. we took the ground that we would support any one. who might bs nominated by the convention: and in the mean time admit nothing into our columns abusive of any good democrat, who might choose to present to it, hts claims. For the very reason that we intended our papsr 10 be isir exponent of the wishes oT the democratic party throughout the State. and not an iasrSaenf cf de- traction. We have ever been willing to give the names of any who might desire 1t to the public, tor consideration, when presented to us from respec- table source, and conceive t to be an important part of our duty. 1t is therefore with the view Gi
 replying to many calls, that have been made upon us tha. we requested from Gov. Drew. Information in relation othe position he intended to occupy He had been urged, we knew in many letters to consent that his nsme should be used for reelection, upon grounds. which at present we consider unnecessary
 to speak; and he considered his reply to those the best exposition Of his views. This has been placed in our hands in one instance, and gather from 1t that although having served the party on ihetaiuve of the nominee to act in Is4l, both against his in
 erest and inclination, the successful exerinns Of the party in his behalf leave him claim on it. to continue him in office. unless it might be deemed expedent that he should again if with the use of his name. When fair expression of opinion may show such desire. he will consent to run. and use every honorable effort in the cause. conven. ton win be held in Jan. next, to select who can best maintain the integrity and principles party. and do battle for il against whgs and any unprin- cipied faction of his own party Should the conven- ton think he best il in such crisis by his nomination, he wiliecrdiay accept the trust des- pite the viinperson and violence of his enemies. Blu, he will mt consent to the State for the nomin' tion even if he anxious to receive il, although he acknowledges the perfect propriety of such course. by those who have not before had opportunities of becoming known to the people. He will only act when he is assured that is the set tied wish of the party.
 This, in short. is the position of Gov. Drew, and he assures us, he will occupy no other.

Oar Ce,smporarits and eur Extra.

We published last week an extra, which will be found In another column of our paper, stating the terms of peace with Mexico, taken from extra published by Spanish paper t"La Patria'') in New Orleans Without having any confidence in the report think there could be little harm done in furnishing our readers with information which was deained worthy of dissemination in N Orleans, im- probable ss il was. In so doing we have provoked the jeers of neighbors, of the Gazette and Dem ecsat. The former says, that Mexican "infated with vanity &c. should have concOcted such trca- Y did not surprise him. " But that the editor of the Banner should havc yielded credencc to 1t, so far to put 1t forth in extra, is matter of priseAnd-evdence that he is yet young in his pso- feszion." Now we are certainly young editor, but we must learn from more experienced source than our neighbor of tho Gazette, before putting forth an Extra that we must know and believe the truth of it. And wo acknowledge ourselves very green, but we never were so verdant as to issue an extra containing the important informntion, first published by the Gazette, that the Arkansas reg- mont had disgracefuly fled &c. We did mt "herald'' tkat.
 The "gravity" of the Democrat twas not little
  sued ''ritAoua comment" We can tell him how this happened. The N. Orleans Extra. was handed in at oar office by Capt Tins, about midday du- ring our absence. Before we returned to our d,.- ties, the industry of our folks in the office, enabled them to issue and distribute copies of it. It pro- eeeded from Iaudabe desire. to place before the public every thing of interest, and we conse- qnentiy "hase no reason to blush for ertra- aefioa." The editor says, he has purchased spade, and intends to apply for the contract to dig that canal. It generally supposed, that the Democrat has sufficient employment at home, in that line, so actively is it engaged in digging iis grars, by sggias At the most pro ninent mea of the party and attempting to piok up wIligs. This work we should think. without going to ditching. would be quite Sirfy en ough, but every man to his taste.
 To return however to the subject of Peace with Mexico. we are now fully convinced that our gov sEnment will never consent to give up the Calfor- nias without indemnity for the expenses of the war We are strengthened in this opinion, by the reply ef the Washington Union to the cry of ..No Mexi. can teritory." made by the whigs for eleetioneer. ing purposes. It claims that we have expended an immense amount of treasure, and for the costly as sertion of cur rights we must have compensation, the country will demand it. '.and our interests make California. with its ne harbors thrown open to our GO whaes and 20, 900 seamen, its beautiful region to our people and onr manufacturers" the proper and mnst desirable ''indemni,y for the past and security fof the future"
