MORE VOLUNTEERS.

We understand, says the Washington Un.
ion, tina, the War department. has determined
to raise two new regiments forthwith one
from Tennessee, and the other from Michi-
gan. There are ten more companies in
East Tennessee who have offered their ser.
vices than could be accepted under the last
requsitisn. As these companies are still
anxious TO serve in the field, and were not
willing to abandon the idea until the govern
ment had finally disposed Of the subject,
they will constitute one of the regiments
which are now called tfor. Thus they will
be better prepared to march 10 Mexico and
take the field, than perhaps any other regi-
ment that could be called out.
The volunteers of Michigan have manifes-
ted the greatest eagorness TO serve their
country; and the other regiment is, therefore,
10 be organized in that youngl and patriotic
State.
Who can doubt the military spirit of our
people, or the capacity of our government
10 raise as many troops as they may demand
for the conquest of the Mexicans? =.

NO MORE TERRITORY.

The Philadelphia Ledger, neutral pa
per, has the following sensible article in
regard to the new issue Of the whg party
against the acquisition Of Territory:
"No MORE TERRIroRY.-At tho last sos
sion of Congress, southern Senator MIRO
ducad resolution, declaring that no more
territory should be acquired by the Uuited
States. II was laid on the table. At The
late 'whg' convention, In Massachusetts,
for nominating State officers, similar res
olulion was offered. and laid OIL the table,
Asd there let them lie, will be the voice Of
nine in ten Of all American citizens. Ever
since the United States became a nation,
they have been acquiring territory. The
first acquisition was louisiana, their second
Florida, their third Oregon, their fourth
Texas-ths whole constituting territory ex-
cseding all that of the Old Thirteen east Of
the Mississippi. And why did they acquire
these terrioriesG Simply because they
were necessary or convenient to US, and
could be obtained with the consent of the
owners. And from these acquisitions, six
new States have already entered the Union,
and have now population equal TO half Of
the whole population of the Old Thirteen in
1880. AT this rate of increase, fifty years
will not elapse before the remainder Of these
acquisitions will contain as many people as
these six new States now And then where
will the whole increase g"2 Where will be
the outlet, The drain, ofour whole surplus?
"No more. territory Such an idea ceuld
be entertained only by few sapsrannuated
politicians, who, because they have stood
still for forty or fifty years, and are now in
capable of moving, take for granted that the
nation must do likewise. But OF all nations
now existing, the United States are the
most expansive, and therefore the last that
ought TO think of no more territory. They
must increase rapidly. Natural laws, Cover
ming the energies Of The Anglo-Americun
race, and the advantages Of their position,
continually send them forward. Can such a
people be dammcd?--stcpped in their Ca
reer of expansion, and confined within GER

States Uill overflow; for the race must in
crease, and will not bear crowding. And
the surplus must flow into American terrific

Union, or into foreign territory. to become
independent nations. No large portion
flowing North or South can become Canrdi-
an colonists or Mexican slaves. The efflux
to the British Colonies will accelerate their

"No MORE TERRITORY" !"

The adoption Of this issue by the Wings.
and Tom Corwn, was rather basty. All the
wings Of tho heterogeneous party were not
properly advised, and hence have not had
time to wheel into line, so as 10 avoid COLI
sion IN their own ranks, AT a whig meet
ing in New York, Joshua R. Giddngs, the
Wing g-AboliIiou NJ. G. from this State, re-
marked as follows
"But whai do men mean, said hlr. Gid
dings, when they ask us 10 unite on ibis sole
ground, of opposition to further tcrrilory?-
| will tell you what they mean al The South,
and this proposition comes from there, and
is only endorsed by some Northern dough
faces, who are alpaysreddy TO do the uiH Of
their Southern masters. They mean that we
should give up the point Of opposing the ex-
tension of slavery"--Bo'ton Wing.
This will do Cor fist rate commentary on
Corwin's Carthage speech. Tom has con.
cluded 10 be '.Norhrrn man with South
ern sympa,hies," his rightful designation is
that Of "Nor,hen Doughface." and, com
ing from one fhis own wing adheronts, the
truth loses none Of its point,
The disposition, too markedly prevalent
among large class of leading politicians,
to sacrifice great principles to temporary
expediency, and personal popularity, is
strongly manifest in Mr.. Corwin's course
II might have afforded some excuse for the
man, though none for the Statesman, if in
giving vent to his infamous sentiments
against his country in the present contest, he
had proved sincere though mistaken. But his
Carthage speech must dssipate any belieflhat
his is the sincerity even oe error. With the
same facility, with which, after voting that
"War existed by the act of Mexico, "he soon
after denounced the War with fcrvid and
gloomy eloquence, he, after voting for the Will
mot Provso, is found at Carthage denoun-
cling it as Of dangerous tendency
and following the lead of Southern States
men in opposing the accession Of further
territory. Such vacillaton in him have not
the apology Of weakness, but must be traced
TO that active spirit of intrigue which despis-
es adhersnce 10 principle further than such
adherence can purchase a present populari-
ty "Doughface" is indeed correct des-
cription of such politican-never present
ing an unchaDging front in support of truth,
but with acie ease receiving the impress OF
prevailing sentiment regardless alike Of lis
truth or falsehood.

"This raises the question, what shall we
do with Mexico, if no peace be made?--
And late accounts afford little hope of peace.
The no more territory party, if the UKon

PRoeREssIvE-In the Western Empire we
find several extracts from speech by Senator
Berrien, Of Georgia, in which he declared
that if the Tariff of '46 "yiolds enough he
makes no war upon ii"--that he "saw no pres

tional Bank" and that tho question
of Distribution "might bo considered in
abeyance." This is somewhat like progress,

contended for, through years ofangry discus

STATE DEBTS.

During the the political campaign which
has just ended, the party which has held The
reias Of the state government for some years
past, boosted largely ofthe Increased reve-.
nue, collected under their tax law, and sf
their ability 10 pay not only the interest, but
portion Of the principal Of the state debt.
Tabular statements, artfully framed, SO as to
create false impression; were published !;
and TO those who have been
taught 10 bclisvo that "fgurcs cannot
lie." yet forget that other fac, "lhat men
eau lie with fgures,'"' the finances Of Ohio
never appeared A,ore fourishlng. In a elee-
tioneering document, put forth 10 sustain
himself and his party, the Auditor ofStale
asserts that the state debt was reduced sinca
his party came into power. Instead of this be-
ing the fact, the former Auditor (Mr Brough)
shows it, in truth, TO be $4SS,064 81 great
sr than reported, and $l43,79S 06 greater
than il was in lS45. F..i -..
Such bad cyphering on the part Of tho 6aan-
eial agent OF the stale, to call i, by ne harsh
er name, could not escape The keen eye Of
the eastern capitalists interested in Ohio
stocks, and the result has been decline in
prices, even at the moment that the party
press Of the wings were sounding their ho-
zannas TO the State Auditor for placing the
finances in so prosperous condition. nH-
During the past summer, Ohio six per cent
stocks in the New York market stood at
$l0l, or per cent. above par. From the
operations in New York stock market OH
Saturday, the ed instant, Ohio skies were
qolsd at 100 3-5; on Monday, they declined
three-eghIs, and the market ON the Sat-
urday following found sale Of $2000,rs-
deemahle in 1860 al 90} and of $4,000, rc-
deemabls in 1870, at 99a. Some opera.
tions in Wall street brought them up again;
for, on the 18th; we notice sale on the old
Stock Exchange, Of SIC, 600 Ohio SKIES, re-
deemable in 1860. at 500, though immedi-
ately after we find another sale Of $5, 900 Of
redeemable in 1850; at 9sa. At the new
Exchange sale Of $4,000 Of SKIES, redesm-
able in 1850 was made at $99s. These
facts speak volumes against the bad manags-
msnt of the finances OF the State. There
is now due more than three and a half
months interest on these stocks, and thoy
should have brought their face with the in
terest added; but instead Of this, vs. find
them below par, with unsettled prices. o.
hio has always promptly paid her interest.
Rich in resources, unless II is through the
most wful and perverse Encouragement of
her finances, she will always promptly meet
her liabilities. Why, thon, has her credit
sunk from par down 10 30 and 9S, while the
selling price should be dollar for dollar, with
II cents added for the interest past due?
This is a Question left 10 be answered by
those whose bad management caused tile

OUR EXPORTS.


BY the following official report our read
ers can have some idea of the difference in
the course Of Trade during the past year
from proceeding years. We do not claim the
result as a direct consequence frem the Tar
if policy of the Government, for it is mate
llilly attributable to other causes. But our
readers will recolect when the liberal prn-
ciplss of Mr.. Secretary Walkers report we're
referred TO in the British parliament, by Sir
Robert Peel, as an argument in favor of the
repeal of the odous British Corn Laws, OF
dutios on foreign Corn, the whole Wing Press
denounced ii as British Report, and the
Tariff of '46 as a measure of favor to Great
Britain alone.
The policy OF reducln g the American Tar
if. however, hada favorable effect u pom the
British Parliament in causing the suspension
of the English Navigation Laws at so early
a day, and gave this country an opportunity
of exporting a large amount of produce
which would otherwise have been much
longer excluded, ifit had ever been export
ed at ALL That this is probable, we have
only to recall the fact that the passage of the
Tariff of '42 was tho avowed cause of Mr..
Gladstone's bill being sanctioned by the
British Parliament, by which the transit of
Wheat and flour 10 England via Canada was
cfectuully prohibited, and Ohio lost mar
ket for million and half Of bushels annu-
ally, which she had forwarded before by thet
route. These are facts for those who raise
and deal in produce.
Mr.. Burke of the Patent Office, says:
SIT appears frsm the commercial year en-
ding August 81, l847, that the following
