THE sPROGREss OF CIVILIZATIONS y
From the .Nat;o,sal inteligen1er

The hot bed Of war has thrown up some
noxlous and frigh,ful weeds, which, but for
its existence, might have lain dormant for a
century or so, but the seeds Of which would,
at some time or other, doubtless have GER
minated. OF these IS the scheme Of USI-
vKRsAL DOMINION, at least over this Conli-
nent, and along with it thatodions and damn
able doctrine, that conquest and Annexa
ton" are, in the Providence of God, approved
means Of "civilzng" nations presumed to be
inferior to their neighbors. When, IN our
paper Of Saturday last, we remarked at large
upon this Indictment 10 the destruction and
extinction of the Nation Of MexIco--or, with
equal application, any other nation whose ter
riiory we should take fancy to-we really
had no idea that this doctrine would be aYow
ed and justified as an actual and practical rule
OF conduct for this Government, of ours. We
can hardly finds words,o express cur surprise,
on discovering that, al the very moment we
were pepning those remarks, paper OF such
standing in its party, and so affiliated with the
Administration and its organ, as The Richmond
Enquirer, was onsats way 10 this city contain
ing recognition OF this Identical doctrine,-
But such was the case, as will be seen from
the following extract FROM the "Enqulrer" of
Friday last:
'.lNrEREsTlNc FROM MEuco.---We give
up much flour space to the cheering details
Of Gen. SCOTS victorious but bloodless march.

CONSEQUENCES OF WAR.--One OF the most
oppressive reflections connected with the pres
ent war is this, that even when peace is once
more restored, as we hope may soon be the
case, the evil influences OF war cannot be ar
rested for long time, but mustHow on deep,
full, overiiowing stream. corrupiiug the future
generation of young men and poisoning the
future literature OF our country.
The soldier and the soldiers bloody trade
must long be the themes Of conversation and
glorihcaton. The proves ard sutieriDgs on
the field Of battle OF military chieitains will
continue 10 be held up for the admiration OF
The country. History aud poetry, painting
and sculpture, oratory and the drama, viii
all lend their witchery and their charms 10
the exaltatlon OF military men and military
achievements. The gratitude Of the counuy
will be expected 10 distribute the offices oil
honor and trust among the heroes OF the war.
Claims for losses incurred and for services rem
dered will flow IN for hall a century, and pen
slons must be paid 10 the families OF those who
persisted in battle, and 10 indivlduals who
were wounded IN the public service. The
victories Of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma,
Monterey, Buena Vista, and Vera Cruz. viii
be celebrated in song aud IN fourth OF July
citations; and in various ways these saHguna-
~ events will be commemorated and ,nasnl-
he'd through several generations.
Thus war, instead Of being held as the most
awful of barbarties, as colossal curse, an
enormity too dreadful 10 be thought or except
with shuddering; instead of this, we say, ii
viii be regarded as prime source of national
glory; as . grand means Of exaiilng people
ald placing them foremost in the march 10 a
respondent destiny. The whole course and
current OF popular thought and feeling will
thus be turned from the pursuits and glores
Of public peace TO the devourins and CORY
spectre OF desolaton and war
For all these future and lasting consequent
ces Of the present war, fhe authors of il must
be held responsible now and hereafter, at the
bar OF conscience and the bar Of God.

Proposal OF SIR JoHs Ross TO REACH THE
NoRra PoLE.--The following is an extract OF
a letter from Capt. Sir JHo. Ross, II. n TO
Capt. w. II. SMYTH, Royal Astronomical
Society
'sSrR: beg leave TO submit the following
plan and proposal to.the President and Coun-
cIl OF the Royal Astronomical Society for their
consideration. The measurement OF an arc Of
the meridian has been long great desiderat-
UNI, and the failure of every attempt that has
been made at Spiizbsrgen for the desirable OBJ
lect, as well as Of the attempt made TO reach
The North Pole, has been because the summer
has been selected for tina, purpose; whereas
the spring should have been The season che
sen, namely, the months OF April aud May,
for both services, but which could not be put
in execution BY the means hitherto adopled-
have now to inform the President and Coun-
Gil of the Royal Astronomical Society that
have suhinitled plan TO the Admiralty for
carrying into execution these double and deSi-
rable objects, by wintering al Spitzbergen. and
employing my officers and crew under the di-
reclion OF the talented son Of the celebrated
Professor Schumacher, who have engaged
for this purpose; while, al the proper season,
is my intention to attempt 10 reach the North
Pole on sedges drawn By Swedish horses
being modification at the plan proposed by
Mr.. Scoresby, and Of which that highly-talen-
ted and well.nformed individual has gwen his
unquai6 fed appreciation. And rom the years
experience | have had in Sweden in that
mode Of travelling. can safely assert that
there is no other officer in the navy that pos
sesses those advantages SO necessary to COM
plete success IN greater degree. and for this
purpose make this statement IN the hope that.
when duly considered by the President and
Council OF the Royal Astronomical Society.
they will be pleased to signify 70 me their
opinion on the Importance of the objects in
question. and sncha recommendation for its

The'Express presents an account--trayet-
s.ed no doubt--oi a kind OF episode in the pro-
ceedings 81 one Of the Abolition meeting. Ii
/ says:
:Itseems that at the amalgamalion netting
al the Apollo Saloon, TUESDAY evening. which
was filed with. men and women oil al. colofs,
there was evea more a scene of confusion than
our reporter described. Amongihe audience
were Beverly Fucker. John L. Addison, Of
Virginia, and acoiapeny OF New York gentle
men, prominent among whom thelewas Mr..
ISamm, laie editor oil the Globe. a repor-
ter for a moralng paper says:
The mater looked serious for some time,
and we were fearful lest II woald lead to 6 iiet
IN lis result, until we perceived sirahan anu
his friends. accompanied BY some o. the aipli-
ttion commi.ee, ineuut The speakers rosiTunl.
There Was S.amm alongside oi Garrison, StTa-
nan alougslde Of Douglass, and Tucker and
: Addison, 10th EiTginians and shareholders.
alongside Of some OF the darkest specimens OF
humanity which the occasion brought togeih

offensive. unpatriotIc, indeed, treason9b.e Ian
guage OF Douglass, wlich caused The up7oar

Z Ian Should have the privilege 10 reply He
pronounced the whole abolition movement as
uniusuGabe aud reasonable. When he con
cuded. which be did amid on applause which
tells the soundness Of public opinion inthis ci-
". he was replied to BY Garrison, the great
leader OF the Phisitpes. While The latter
gentleman was speaking, he was interrupted
By Mr.. Slamm in the blaadest and most polite
manner:
Mr. SIamm-Will the speaker permit me 10
interrupt him for single momeat}
M!r GaTIson--Cerlainly, siFl
Mr. Siamm-My friead Swabau was gross
ly assaulted By one Of your friends. for pro-
nou.clng the assertion Of Douglass, ''that the
war with Mexico was for the petuaton Of sla-
very" as a SANDER on his cpuntry; and in the
melee his hat was taken. BE kind enough
to beg the return Of his hat, for il covers no
bic and big head. (Roars Of laughter, Sra
hans head is larger thar any of Leary's
bloeks)
MIR, Garyison--I protest that no friend of
mine TOOK Mt. Sirahan's hat. Where's the
hate
The hat was recovered, and the anti-aboli-
ton party gracefully left The Hall. headed by
MIR. fucker the gentleman with the white
hat. This episode in the proceedings Of The
abolition meeting is indicative that reason
finds no resting place in the hearts OF the cili-
zens oil New York.
