lTThe Patriot quotes extracts from the
Proclamations of Generals Taylor and Scott to
the Mexicans in order to show that the war
upon Mexico is just 1t is known that Gen.
Taylor, certainly, is opposed to carrying on
the war, and has himself written to friend
that he thinks our army should have been
withdrawn from Mexico long ago. The Pat.
riot well knows that both these Generals be-
long to the regular army, and that in the dis
charge of their duty they issue Proclamations
embracing the principles of the administration,
as laid down, if not fully written out, by the
war Department at Washington, and which
they are instructed, in the discharge of their
Duty to proclaim to the people OF Mexico. In
this sense, us we have before remarked. these
officers are made the official instruments. in
Mexico, of proclaiming doctrines ofthe adj.
mlnistration, and such as are repurnant TO
their own private opinions The Patriot fIllv
understands this matter, if all people do not.

THE WOOL BUSINESS, Wool

lHE WOOL. BUSINESS. Wool is sell
ing in this region for from 20 to 33 cents
per pound. We have heard of none being
sold higher than 80, and such lots are scarce,
the finest and best Of Merino raised in this
quarter, and from flocks the wool of which
sold for 40 and AZ cents under the Wing
Tariff when administered by honest Custom
House officers. Ifany wool grower has been
so lucky as to get more than this we have not
heard Oft. There was some call for wool
by buyers when shearing commenced; we
are told that the calls since have become less
frequent--and for the reason that manufac-
turers are looking for heavy importations of
foreign made cloth under the low duty as
sessed by the new tariff This reason is not
one of our own, it is the reason given by u
somewhat distinguished Pulkite, but it is con-
firmed from other sources.

~ The Ninety Fire Instances IF Murders,
RoJJerieS, &c. We hope no one viii accuse
us of Turning locofoco because we have copied
n share of the great locofoco clcctoneering Ex-
ira, now being circulated in this State, with
a caption something like the above. It is up
on our outside with few "practical observa-
lions" by the editor of the Free Press. We
publish it to show the ioeakneSS Of the reasons
given by locofocos for spending hundred
millions of dollars so, and sacrii cling, thus
far, some 5000 American citizens, in the ag.
gressve war upon neighboring Republic
There are scarcely two neghbors in our State
who could not pick up, in their family remi-
niscences. almost equally potent reasons for
fighting, especially should one of the neigh
bors wish to steal portion of the others farm.
Some little troubles among the women or chill
dren could be dug up from the past, no doubt,
of a like grave character.
The reader will observe that most of the
roJJeries were merely apprehensions of Snug
glers, some in the guise of hunters, &c. And
it also pertains to the history of these transac-
tons that the parties "a portion Of them) were
not American citizens, and never were such,
previously to their apprehension. A portion
of them too trunspircd, we assured, before
Mexico became lnuepenuenI VI SPAN, ,,a
should therefore be prosec against Spain,
ifagainst any nation.
The history of these reasons for the war
we take to be this-Mr. Forsyth, one of the
southern clique, baaded together to get Tex
as, got up this list as an apology for stealing
Texas. Texas having been secured they are
brought forth again by northern locofocos as
reasons for fighting Mexico and wasting the
lives Of our people and their treasure. The
use they make of them reminds MS of story
told of n green fellow who wished to boast of
the consideration bestowed upon him by his
somewhat distinguished employer. Said he,
al eat the same victuals my master employ
er does, only cat it after him."

THE TRIUMPH IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The figures, showing the complete result
in the two Congressional Districts in N.

majority overall is nearly sIxrEEN HUNDRED.
The whole vote is as follows:
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1847-07-31

In this trial, in the two Districts in New
Hampshire there were a sufficient number of
towns gained by the anti radicals since the
last March election to give them THIRTY
majority in the Legislatures And had the
election been held throughout the State the
anti radical majority would have been, prob
ably, t'rO thousand.
And why this changer Evidently in conse-
sequence of the dissatisfaction among the PEG.

the measures of the Administration of the
General Government and the doings of the
late N. Hampshire Legislature. The Polktes
could not, by their humbuggery in claiming the
results of the European famine upon our inter.
ests to be the legitimate fruits ofthe PolkTarif,
still the voice oftheir own party. The great
est revolts from the Polk party in these cleo
tons, were among the farmers--in agricultu.
raj towns. In the town of .Goffstown, a
strong locofoco town, the net gain for
Wilson from the March election, was one
hundred and fifty seren! In several other towns
he made great gains, but not in any one SO
great as in this-some locofocos would not
vote while others voted for Wilson We
hINe IL from Sooo authority, ana the votes OF
the towns show it, that multitudos of the far
mers who had always voted locofoco, either
refused to vote at all or voted for the NVhig
and Independent candidates.
There must be some cause for such chang

leaders of his party turned his visit to the
greatest advantage they could, indirectly as
