INTERESTING FROM THE
PLAINS.

We have news from the Plains, brought tc
Fort Leavenworth, on the 9th inst, by an express
sent in by Lieut. Love, with the urgent request
that reinforcement should be sent to his aid
Lieut. Love was IN command of an escort which
took out some 100000 in specie for the troops
at Santa Fe.
The express left him on the Arkansas, al
which time he was beset by Camanche Indians
with whom he had several encounters for four OF
five days in succession. He had already lost five
men killed and four wounded-among the latter
Sergeant Bishop, Cd in command. The Indians
lost I2 or 10 killed.
The Indians were in large numbers, and were
pressing Lieut. Love very resolutely, being "a
ware perhaps of the value of the prize they were
after.
Lieut.. Loves express brings information that
other Government trains had been attacked by the
Camanches.
MIR. Smith, who has established fort on the
Arkansas was driven tberefrom with his men,
and compelled to fly, taking the route to Santa
Fe.
-Four companies of the Missouri Volunteers
were last at Council Grove. Capt. Shephard's
company was in advance of that point.
There can be no doubt that no company, I'M
less very numerous and well armed, can now
cross the Plains safe from attack-in short none,
perhaps, except strong military force.

RAILROADS.

CENTRAL Stock has advanced to 81 on pub
lie sales, and SO l-2 private. Still upward is the
word. BY the way, the recent arrangements
here have been fully confirmed by the board Of
directors, being every way satisfactory in that
direction, as we presume it is to Montpelier
SULLIVAN RAILROAD. At the annual meet
ing of the Stockholders, held at Charlestown N.
H., on the 10Th inst. the following board of Di-
rectors was chosen: Henry Hubbard, Ashbel
Hamlin, Charlestown, N. H.; Isaac Parker
Franklin Evans, Boston; Daniel White, Charles
town, Mass; John w. Tappan, William II. Far.
well, Claremont, N. II.
At "a meeting of the Directors, the Hon. Hen
ry Hubbard was chosen President; George Oh
cutt Treasurer; and P. c. Freeman, Clerk.
The Fltchburg Railroad Company has declar
ed a semi-annual dividend of 5per cent payable
I'd August.

8 in which, either from

There are twelve States in which, either from
failure to elect or the election not having taken
place, there are one or more members to be cho
sen. In Maine there are yet vacancies in four
districts. A new trial will probably take place
next September, at the time of the annual State
election: AS by the law recently passed, pu-
rality will elect, it is most probable but one Wing,
Mr.. Morse, and three Locos will be elected un-
less some compromise be made, as In New Hamp-
shire, with the Liberty party. In that case, the
alliance could carry all four, certainly three, Of
the vacant districts. In Rhode Island there can
be no doubt that Wing will be chosen at the
next trial III that State. 1t is probable the va
cancy IN Virginia, caused by the death of Drom-
goole, will be filled by Loco, though we have
slight chance of electing the Wing. We es-
innate Iowa and Indiana as equally divided, al
though we are in hopes to do better than that
Maryland we estimate as electing only four out
of her six members, though the time has been
when the Wings carried the whole. The fe-
naming States we are confident will do at least
as well as they are set down in the following ia.

THE TARIFF AND THE SUB
TREASURY,

In Dec. 1S46 the new Tariff went into effect,
under the extraordinary circumstance of gen.
cral famine in Europe, which has demanded A.
merican productions at high prices on the one
band, and on the other operated most stringent
" TO embarrass the finances and diminish the
manufactures of England and France. Of
course the effects would be to increase in an
extraordinary degree the exports from this coun-
try-to bring back large amount Of specie, and
10 stimulate prices; effects which have been
produced not BY the tariff of '46, but in spite of
Though they have been eagerly seized upon
as conclusive evidence of the wisdom of that
measure In truth, however, the Tariff has thus
far tended to Justify the fears of its opponents
and fasify the predictions Of its friends. AS a
revenue measure it has produced far less than
would have accrued had the act of 40 been in
force; and SO far as protection is concerned, it
has exhibited its fruits in large increase in the
importation of foreign goods. The following
statement for the port of New-York for seven
months from the LIST of Dec, last, with the cor
responding period in 1856, will show the
correctness Of this view:
"The imports for seven months commencing
with the LIST of December last, upon the adoption

Suppressed Correspondence.

The N. o. National insists that this impor-
tant correspondence in relation to the state of
things in Mexico previous to the actual COM
mencenent Of hostties, has been withholden by
Mr.. Buchanan-in whose Department the cor
respondence is lodged-of nature that proves
conclusively the present war might have been
avoided without any difficulty, had the Admin
istration not been desirous of precipltating
events"
Letters from General Arista are said to be in
cluded in this correspondence-on 10 the effect
that The Ontef Sfctes could haze procured by trea-
" or purchase, The tchoie Of Ieras 10 the Rio
Grande and another, that the Government of
Mexico was willing and ready to receive Com
missioner from the United States to treat of a
boundary, but objected to the reception of
Minister.
We ardently hope our friends will have con-
troll Of the next House Of Representatives, that
many dark secrets of State may be revealed to
the country. Whether such correspondence as
that Of which the National" speaks has ever
been received and suppressed by Mr.. Buchanan
or not, of one thing we are convinced, that there
is much in the transactions of the Department of
State under this administration that requires the
strictest investigation
We can place but little confidence in the
means by which the Secretary of State proposes
to accomplish his ends. The course he adopted
to obtain power gives us but little to hope from
his use of it. He deceived the people of his
State to secure the success of Mr.. Polk and his
own promotion; and he would be equally ready,
in our opinion, to deceive Mr.. Polk or betray the
country into war to subserve the same views of
personal aggrandizenent The truth is not in
| him.
The country has reason TO institute and right
to compel strict investigation of his political
conduct When his particular friends sought
| to weaken or destroy the position of political
opponent, whom he feared and hated, every ia
cllity was furnished from the State Department
for the purpose by his most confidential and near
est subordinate, during his own opportune alb
sence from Washington. When an attempt
shall be madc-as we hope and believe at the
next Congress it will be made-to obtain the
suppressed history of his official career, we shull
see whether he will be as ready to afford infer
mation-whether the doors of the Department
will open as easily to Committee of The House
in the pursuit of intelligence they have right to
demand, as they did, on the occasion alluded TO,
to the steathy approach of Jurrolcimg slanderer,

cans,

cred on the 18th of last month, before the His
torical Department of the Society of Alumni Of
the University of Virginia, Discourse on the
Uses and importance of History" illustrated
by comparison of the French and American
Revolutions. We have perused this Discourse
with great pleasure, and should be glad to place
it entire before our readers, but that its length
precludes our doing SO, at present at least BY
running out contrast between the French and
American Revolutions, Mr.. Rives has sought tc
recall our countrymen to the sober and conserv.
alive tone which so emlnently distinguished oul
Revolutionary fathers, and IN the close Of the
Discourse he has combined, with an appeal to the
just pride of the country, some lessons so imme.
dlately applicable TO the present times, and es.
pecially to the late Proclamation put forth by the
orders OF the Executive in Mexico, that we can.

awe have thus surveyed, in rapid review. the
two great political revolutions of the last centu
ny. The one we have seen constantly obedien
TO the voice of historical warning and instruction
dealing wisely and justly with the past, giving
no sudden and violent shock to existing Interests
and institutions making its advances cautiously
and gradually, as public opinion was prepared tc
receive and sustain them, and finally founding
d" suspicious reign OF liberty and order on The
broad and solid basis of justice, moderation, anC
compromise. The other, animated by the vail
and presumptuous spirit of new philosophy
substituted bold and visionary speculalions fol
the sober lessons of history and experience
waged war upon the past with headlong and in
discriminate fury; levelled all opposing interests
Of whatever kind, in its desolating course; and
after twenty-five years Of conyulslve struggles
marked by blood and crime, fell back weariec
by successive anarchy and despotsm, into the
arms from which it had escaped. In these agi
tating scenes of the age that had passed, it was
reserved for the youthful people Of America tc
set the example of sobriety, moderation, ant
wisdom to her elder sisters OF the old world
The example was, unhappily, not then followed
