The Locofocos profess to think the acquisition
of New Mexico and the CALIFORNIA; would be an
ample remuneration for all our losses in the war
II, year and half ago, the question had been ask
ed whether our country ought to be willing to pur
chase those territories at the cost of hundred and
fifty millions of dollars and the lives of ten or fifteen
thousand of her heroic yeomanry, who is there
among us that would not have Numbered forth an
indignant negative
Where is the Locofoco that can tell us the relative
value of wild lands and human life /! How many
acres of Mexican ground will reimburse us for the
death of Ringgod! How many for the death of
Ridgely! How many for the death of Clay How
many for the death of Mckee! How many for
the death Of Hardin How many for the death of
Hamer How many for the death of Butler
How many for each Of the heroic privates that fell
at Palo Alto, at Resaca, at Monterey at Buena Wis
ia, at Vera Cruz, at Cerro Gordo, at Contreros at
Churubusco, and at the city Of Mexico!

THE RESPONSIBILITY

The Cincinnati Chronicle thus fixes the errors of
management in the conduct Of the war upon the
National Executive
l. In May, 1916, the President received general power
TO call out when and where he pleased less than So 900
volunteers.
2 Volunteers have always stood ready at his service
g. He has called volunteers five different periods
always by Pecemea-and caused directly indirectly the
Government paper the number 10 the field least
one third.
A. Congress placed at his disposal regiments in
addition
Thus the President has had placed his command by Con-
gress the following forces viz
Regular army. ...................l 10, 900 men
Volunteers. .........-.......... sc, 900 do.
New regular regiments. ......... 10, 900 do.

The RANK AND FHE.-Neyer did the ranks Of an
army IN the world contain so many gallant spirits
numbered in this small band OF ours, which
fought its way from San Augustine to the city Of
Mexico. During the time many of the non-com-
mssioned officers and privates distinguished them
selves to great degree, and gave assurance to the
world that when Americans war, those of the lower
grades enter into with all the spirit of the highest
in command. Recently, when an order was read
at the head of companies for SO many volunteers to
step out of the ranks to undertake some perous
enterprise against the enemy, scarce man remain
ed in the ranks, and it was with the greatest diff
Guilty the selection could be made, eager were all
TO participate in the adventure. How is it possible
to conquer such men, unless they are all killed
Their bearing in action has not only won the adj
mration and esteem of the Commander-in-chef, but
he is so infatuated with them that we verify believe
he would be pleased to hug to his breast the entire
army at one time.-.4merican Star, CITY of Mer.l

THE VOICE OF THE STATE OF OHIO.
WnIo srArE CENTRAL CoMarrrrr Rooa,

Columbus, October l6, ls47
Returns enough of the recent election have been
received to show conclusively that the Wings have
majority in both branches of the General Assem-
bly,. The people of Ohio have again sustained
their revenue system, which places the credit of the
State upon sure foundation, and the banking sys-
tenn, which at home and abroad is acknowledged to
be equal TO any in the Union.
We therefore congratulate the Wings Of Ohio
on their great and decided triumph. II is triumph
of which they may well be proud. tits triumph
the benefit of which may be felt by our opponents
as well as ourselves. Notwithstanding the cleo
ton was confined to State affairs, the result is
Pressive OF popular sentiment in Ohio upon the
policy of the National Executive. Our opponents,
during the whole canvass, urged the people TO
tain war of conquest in Mexico, and, in their
speeches and publications, distinctly made that issue.
They heaped upon our distinguished Wing Sena-
tor more than usual share of vituperaton and
abuse in consequence of the high, bold, and COM
handing position he assumed in the Senate.
The result is severe rebuke to the advocates of
the war, and the villfyers of such a man. We
therefore again congratulate you upon the result Of
our election 1t is triumph in favor of the bless
ings of peace over the horrors and disgrace of an
unjust and Ubiquitous war. 1t is triumph of con-
stituiional right the lawless acts Of weak and
infatuated Executive.

DESTRUCTION OF THEATRE By FRE-The
latest European Intelligence brings the follow
ing account of the destruction of the Grand Du-
cal at Carls,uhe, in the Duchy of Baden:
at was not in one ofthe boxes of the second
gallery that the fire broke out, but in one the
court-boxes, Immediately after the gass was
lighted. The inquest is not yet terminated;-
but it Is already known that there was no is-
sure in the gas-pipe, and that the flames, driv-
en- by current of air, caught the hangings.-
The rapidity with which the fire spread is east
y accounted for by the interior arrangements
and decorations of this building, in common
with all old theatres. As soon as the audience
in a part of the house was beginning to be filled
with the volumes of smoke, the alarm became
general and frightfu. Many persons on the Sd
floor of galleries were stifed. The number of
dead and missing amounts, according to the po-
lice returns, to seventy. A letter from CarIsl
ruhe, in the Mannheim Journal, says, AMONG the
victims are the following: a brother of M
Homburg, the man of letters; son of nj Wa
bel, the promptor; whole family who had just
arrived from Ludwigsburgh, and an English
family who got lost in the corridors; besides
many women and children. Most of the bodies
are completely reduced to ashes, and of many
others nothing was left unconsumed but the
limbs, which have been carried to the cemetery.
Some threw themselves ont of the windows of
the fourth story; one in attempting to do so was
withheld by young woman, to whom he was
affianced, and thus remained suspended till the
building gave way, when they both sank into
the fames."

Mr.. POLK, as testimonial of gratitude for fur
