Urea, lst May 1S47.
have seen but a small portion of Lick
ing county, the general appearance of
which resembles very much tue Reserve
country, though the soil think is deci-
dedly inferior, except along the Licking
creek, where it is extremely rich. Uti-
ca is a village of considerable business,
the country around is level, and in the
immediate vicinity ! notice some fine Or
chards. But | should not fancy this Sec
ton for a residence. There is 4 lack of
good water, many of the lands are marshy,
and, worst Of all it is a great place for the
''shakes." The wheat crops here are de-
ciaedly inferior to any | have seen in
Ohio, and Judge the climate is even ra-
Their to cold for corn, though there are
good crops of ii raised here soxE seasons.
But | must take a glance al the region
through which | have passed.
From Massilon to Wooster the u
try is more rolling than east of the first
mentioned place, but the soil is some
what similar. There are fewer sluices
or ponds, and the water is better. One
observes here large orchards, and all the
owners of farms appear to pay considera-
BILE attention to the growing of fruit. AT
ter my arrival at Wooster | took a ride
southwark about s miles, in the course Of
which | saw some of the finest wheat
fields hat | have ever behold. Late re-
freshing rains have started the growing
crops, and the prospect for an abundant
harvest is highly promising.
The town OF Wooster, like most towns
in Ohis, is handsomely situated, and, be-
ing in the heart of a fine grain growing
region, only wants some public improve
ment-a railroad or canal-to make it a
great business place. It's population IS
$500, and there is considerable water
power in the vicinity, which is used prin-
cipally for Touring mills. Wayne coun
ty, like Stark, was originally settled by
Pennsylvanians, and the manners and
customs Of the people of my native State
are here anywhere observable. Consid-
cradle interest is felt by the citizens Of
this and the adjoining counties in the con-
templated railroad from Pittsburgh 10
Mansfield; and if that improvement should
ever be made, real estate in the interior
of Ohio, already high in price, will be
rendered still more valuable. The region
Of Wooster is SAID 10 be the healthiest in
the State, and fever and ague are eli very
rare occurrence.
From Wooster 10 or IL miles toward
the south west, the country continues roll
ling and the soil pretty good; but as you
pass into Ashland county, you enter a
billy region, and from thence through the
northern part Of Knox, until yeu approach
Mount Vernon, it is as mountainous and
broken as any portion of Laurel Hill.
whilst the soil in many places is even in
ferior to that of our Pennsylvania moun
tains. Mount Vernon has 5000 ofa pop
ulalion, and is the handsomest town |
have seen in Ohio, many of the houses are
three stories high.
The present season has been unusually

lick, of the navy, who so ably negotiated
and arranged the terms Of capltulation
with the enemy's commissioners, great
credit is also severally due in that distinct
capacity.
Thanks higher than those Of the Gen
eral-in-Chief have been also earned by
the entire Home Squadron, under the sue
cessive orders of Commodores Conner
and Perry, for prompt, cheerful, and able
assistance from the arrival of the army
off this coast. Besides landing troops
and supplies, and the strict blockade OF
this port, the smaller vessels, detached by
Commodore Perry, under the immediate
command of Captain Tatnall, joined for
a time in the attack upon the city, at the
imminent risk of being sunk by the fire
of the castle; and the land battery No. 5,
(called the Naval which followed Nos.
/, 2,3, and 4, (served by the army at
the end of two days was exclusively (af-
ter being prepared by the engineers and
troops of the army armed, manned, and

battery, in the successive tours of the gal
liant Captains Aulick and Mayo, proved
itself highly effective.

MIR. CALHOUN.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
There is a letter in this city from S.
Carolina, which states that Mr.. Calhoun
has written a letter to his friends on the
subject Of his being a candidate for The
mex Presidency; that, in this letter, he
states that, under no circumstances, will
he consent to be a candidate for that Of
fee; and further that he requests and ur-
yes his friends to unite on Major General
Zachary Taylor as their candidate for the
Presidency.

be going it with a perfect rush. He has
already been formally nominated in pri-
mary meetings by portions of the Wing,
Loco Foco and Native American parties;
and now it seems the Nullifers are fol-
lowing suit. Jimmy Polk has done in
one respect, at least like Old Hickory, he
has "nom;nated his successor" We are
willing to give even the devil his due, ana
this time, we must say Jimmy has done
pretty well. Let him have all the credi
he deserves. Ii is not the first time tina

SANTA ANNA.

In our news from the Brnsos we mcn-
ton the arrival of Santa Anna, on the 9Th
ultimo. at San Luis Potosi, with a remnant
of his army. Mr.. KENDALL in one of his
letters speak ofhim as having subsequently
reached the capital Of Mexico where it is
said he has joined the Church party, and
is disposed for peace. This Intelligence
Mr.. Kendall received through the foreign
fleet at Vera Cruz and it is probably true
in so far as the whereabouts ofSanta Anna
is concerned; nor is it improbable that he
has become disguised with fighting.

ADDRESS.

SESoREs DEHuTIEs: | have just taken
the oath which the law prescribes, and in
doing so, ought to accompany 1t with a
manifestation Of my sentiments and the
motives of my conduct to this respectable
committee of the legislative body.
The events which have taken place in
the capital are known, and are Of such a
character as to bind me TO give them a
speedy and pacific termination. Sur
rounded by difficulties of all kinds, inter-
csted in what is the most important and
essential for the whole nation, as is the
sustaining Of a strong and decided strug-
gle with a foreign Power. in which moth
ing less is involved than the existence of
the nation, it would be the best Of evils to
enter into a contest with those who ought
to unite in repelling the common enemy.
These discords ought to disappear at the
imperious voice of patriotism, which calls
upon the sons Of the country to have but
one will and aim. The moments have
been urgent; | have seen the forward
steps of the enemy; | have rushed to the
field to repel him, and even at the mo-
ment of doing so have been forced to
leave a brave and victorious army, and t.
come hlther to assume a power which
have repeatedly said was rcpugnant II

yer to undertake.

an object Of aspiration and desire, is foi

Federal Whiggery that they of course
will not read it. 1t is, however, from a
L,ocofoco paper, n which did what
il could to elect Mr.. Polk, and as such
valuable, as an indication of what the
moderate portion of the party think of

much. Mr., Polk would nave thought Sc
riously of having HIM hanged as a traitor,

oL%D-FAsHIoNED NOTIONS.

OLD-E AOIllOI LII W. AOANO'
From the Norfolk VA Herald IAN old
fashioned Republican Paper of April ID.
War is a calamity at any
rate, but particularly so to a free people.
lis influence and consequences are at va
rance with all the principles Of free gov
eminent. A military people never exist
for any length of time as a free people
All history proves that they cannot. Yet,
in spite of history, in spite Of reason and
common sense, our Government has mad
" undertaken TO force the opposite con-
clusion. A war has been forced upon the
countrv-prematurely, every candid man
must confess; unnecessarily, is equally
demonstrable: and what are the results!
To say nothing of the lavishing of the
peoples money and the peoples blood,
we have the vast extent of Executive pat
ronage by the necessary increase OF some
thousands Of military appointments, aug
mented by a new army OF executive OH
GERS 10 collect the revenue in the enemy's
ports. according to the Presidents new
4'Order in Council" We find no FAULT
with this measure as a means of offence
against Mexico. We ARE at war with
her-no matter whose fault it is; and it is
incumbent upon Us to do her all the harm
we can, to bring her 10 terms Of peace
But the consequence Of the measure is a
fearful strengthening of the power ofEx-
e~cutive, which the republicans of the old
school were particularly jealous Of. as an
enemy that would sap the foundation OF
our liberties. Such ANTIoUATED notions,
however, ARE literally LAUGHED AT BY
THE MODERN DEMOCRACY, who act as If
their leading principle was, that whatever
is calculated to perPetuate power in the
hands of their party is all right and pro-
per. and-constitutional Of course. Ii
is easy for the people to see that if the
a~scendency in the Government remains
much longer in the hands Of the party
now welding it, all the barriers between
Executive supremacy and the COnstitu-
ton will be broken down; and, seeing it,
they must rise perceive the necessity of
Immediately ~raiiying 10 the rescue Of
the principles Of the Constitution, and,
indeed, Of their liberties.

HIS INAUGURATIoN-THE INAUGURAL
Policy OF HIS ADMINISTRATION, &c.
The Picayune has papers from the city
of Mexico up TO the 24th March.
A GuadalaJara paper publishes the
terms offered by our Government for
peace through Senior AToCHA. The prin-
cipal one was, in brief, fifteen millions to
be paid Mexico FOR THE LINE OF TWEEN
TY-sIx DEGREES, from the Gulf to the
Pacific, and the United States to demand
no expenses of the war. These expen-
SEES are estimated at thirteen millions, ma
king a total of twenty-eight millions for
the territory north Of tw~enty-six degrees.
SANTA ANNA took leave of the army 81
San Luis Potosi on the 14th Of March in
the following brief address:
HEADQUARTERS, San LUIS PoTosI,
March 81. lS47.
Companions in Arms: Devoted entire
ly to the service Of the country, | march
to assume the reins Of Government, i'll
doing which | make the most costly sa-
%crifice, acting contrary to my cherished
desires and fixed intentions. But this
course will put an end to the civil war
which is destroying our beautiful capital;
it will give unity to our defence and inn
pulse to the righteous struggle in which
we are engaged with the peridious inva-
ders, and in which you have fought with
such bravery and decision in the fold Of
La Angostura.
My Friends: | will never forget your
glorious actions on that field of battle,
your sufferlngs in the desert, to which you
submitted with heroic patience, and, above
all, that had the honor of commanding
you. The nation owes you a recon-
pense, and you will shortly receive it
through my exertions, although this is not
the consideration which stimulates YOU
to bear yourselves as worthy sons Of Mex
leo.
Soldiers: You are the hope Of the
country, her best defenders. Your duty
then is to guard all parts: and on this ac-
count | have disposed that two brigades
of infantry and one Of cavalry, with their
corresponding batteries, shall march to
the defence of the State of Vera Cruz,
the rest of the army defending this from
tier.
Every where you will conduct YOUR
selves as you have done hitherto, and you
will ever deserve the illuslrious name you
have acquired. | am going to procure
whatever is necessary to consummate the
great work which is committed to you,
and be assured that in the hour of danger
YOU will again find in the midst Of you
your general.
ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.
From San Luis to the city Of Mexico
SANTA ANNA's progress was triumphal.
He continually met delegations from Con-
gress sent out to propitiate him. Address
ses from the different States were presen.
ted to him on his route. He arrived in
the immediate vicinity of the capital on
the Goth. On the 23d he took the oath
of office as President Of the Republic a
