II. BELL, ESQ
A meeting of the citizens OF New Haven
was called in the Meeting House on the eve
ming Of Thursday 10th inst. to take into con-
sideraiion our duty under the existing Lii
cense Law. This was uor a temperance
meeting but all citizens we've invited TO meet
and participate in the discussions. After the
meeting was organized the subject Of the
Licence Law was freely and fully discussed
aud the following resolution passed.
Resolred, That we consider it our duty IN
der the present Law to vote "No License. y
The vote on this resolution was, taken by ris
ing. was unanimous. This decision was
made after consideration OF the fact that il
we vote License" there will be no restrain
ing or controlling power in the town auIhori-
~ and no discretion in County Judges but
every man must have licence who applied
for it
On motion you were requested To publish
this conclusion Of the citizens Of New Haven
and TO publish also the 18th and l4'h section
Of the License Law we ask this favor bee anse
we believe an ERRONEOUS opinion is prevalent
that if we vote License the Town authority

Of these sections will show this is not so. i'll
you keep this fact before the public. BY Or

PLAGIARISM, OR LITERARY THEFT

u
Mr.. EDIToR:-Some one who never used. or
properly knew the use Of tool for honest labor:
but who ventures to use the signature of "ME.
cHANlc, b" in the "Picuyune" ol the Ist instant.
has committed a most outrageous theft on Sena.
tor Corwln's speech, as delivered in the U. States
Senate, THE lllh of February, 1917 upon the
subject OF the war with Mexico. "Robert," my
son. Is supposed TO be The promising young man,
WHO'S not only cunning enough 10 use the sgna.
lure OF "Mechanc," but proud enough 10 s,eal
from Tom Corwin's anll.war speechI LIE, us
quote from Corwin'S speech, delivered in Feb,
l847, aud from the original eSsayesl of ,hs
"PIcayune," in October, thereafter.
From Corwin:
"l'h, Mr. President. it does seem 10 me, If hell
itself could yawn and vomit up the 6ends thai in.
ha0t It's penal abode, commissioned TO disturb the
harmony OF This world, and dash the faires, pros.
poets OF happiness that ever nlured the hopes of
men, the FIRST step IN the conSummaon of this
dIaboIcal purpose would be to light up The fires Of
internal war und plunge the sister States of this
Union INTO the bolomIcss gulf Of civil strife"
From "Mechanc," or Robert, in the "Pica.
yune'':
alt seems to me, if hell itself could yawn and
Nomlt Up Tho iends that Inhabil its penal abodes,
commissioned TO disturb tho harmony of this
word and dash The laires prosper of happiness
that ever alIured The hopes of men, tn. first step
IN the c0nSuInmaon of this diaboicaI purpose
,COu'd be to employ quack iaWycr, aud ihea YOU
haze the deUH al nc0re."
Robert falls off mlserably, in the close of the
sentence; nevertheless, he evinces his juvenile
to plagiarise most admirably But
who would have imagined that this un1edged
Locoloco, whose locooco pin-earhers are Just
now visible, would, in his first political essay fr
the "Plcayune,' steal from COrwin's speech-G
speech so terribly odious to all regular bred 10.
keys. Permit me, in behalf Of Senator Corwlp,
through your paper, to return thanks TO The pla,
giarsl for this evidence Of his good laste If ho
must and will plagiarise, le. him resort 10 this
particular speech Of Mr.. Corwin's as frequently
us possible.

An ARRIVAL ut NC" orleans uEluS9 IA'NA
adyices froln Vera Cruz and the city OF Mex
leo.
The Mexican forces commanded by Gencr.
ais Valencia aud Santa Anna mad attacked
the forces under General Scott near Los
Llanos de San angie short distance from the
capital.
The Mexican forces were entirely routed,
and fell back on the city of Mexico, ana ask
ed for suspension OF hostilites.
The Mexican Congress had been sumMon-
cd to consider proposals OF peace
Gen. Scott had granted an armistice, and
did not enter the city OF Mexico.
NlAjor Luliy had passed Peroto after some
hard fighting, and had reached JNlapa'
Lieut.. Henderson and party OF dragons
had been shot by gueIrlllas
The guerrilas had also attacked AlYarado
and killed three men.
The details of the battle Of San Angel are
very meagre, and yet all accounts represent
the action as sangainary ana decisive AS re-
cards the Mexcans. We know nothing as
to the American loss.
The New Orleans Commercial Times, OF
The 30 o5t furnishes the following inteitigi-
bic account OF the vctory-a victory that viii
in all probability be most blessed in It's results,
bringing about peace between the two re-
publics:
/! appears that the march Of our army I'M
der Gen SuGtJ from Pucbla to within eight or
nine miles of tue capital was uninterrupted
| by any resistance on the part Of the enemy.
| At III Pomona position fortified by Santa
| Anna-the hostile forces first came into cot
lision where, according to FL Sol de Anahuac
a division Of the American army made an on
set on the enemy, the main body passing
| through Guadaloupc and to the surprise Of the
Mexicans, appearing suddenly in their rear
A regular fight then eusucd at place
called San Angel, situated about SIX or etsh;
miles southwest Of the capital; the result o!
which was that General Nalcncia's division
Of the Mexican army was totally routed, when
Santa Anna fell back with the remainder o.
his troops On the city. Here the greatest
CONSERVATION prevailed, and, as the only
means TO stop tie victorious career OF the
American arms, it was decided 20 solicit from
Gen. Scott q susnoneion Of arms. n Nag OF
truce was despatched to the American head
quarters for this purpose, with the Vew" oi
giving time for the opening OK negotiations
for the renewal Of pacific relations Inc
Mexican Government intimated to Gen
Scott that it was ready to treat Tor peace on
the propositions brought by Mr.. Irlst' Thus
at the eleventh hour, has the stubbornncS o.
our hitherto intractable neghhor given way
and the best hopes may be entertained That
