ing well timed and truthful remarks:
"There is one thing of which we would
remind the Governor and his friends-that
peace cannot be obtained by praying for the
success of the enemy. The two wars with
Great Britain, and the most OF our Indian
wars, have been prolonged, embiltered, land
made more bloody, by the encouragement
given those we were fighting, from the
want Of united councils on our own side
The tories, in the time Of the revolution,
and the blue lights in the late war, encour-
aged England to continue the conflicts
longer after her own better sense would
have proposed peace. 1t is Just so with
Mexico. The Mexican leaders have been

Progress of Italian Liberty.

A correspondent of the New York En-.
quirer, writing from Florence, gives the
following account of q celebration in that
city, in. honor Of the recent privileges
granted the people. He says:--.,.sr.,r.r.,
On the 18th September there was the
grandest popular display Ihave ever seen
in any country. The city of Florence was
really crowded with strangers from all
parts of Italy; indeed some from the other
side of the Alps to be present and partici-
pate in the universal feeling for !sIndepen.
dence.' II was believed that more than
100, 900 people were in the Plazas, aad
streets Of Florence, marching in procession,
besides the vast numbers who took no part
in the popular display. ( There. were hun
dreds of banners painted in the most beauti.
full manner for the. occasion, and bands Of
music which gave enthusiastic echo to the
excited feelings Of the people. The palace
Of the Grand Duke Plazzo Pitt1 was liter.
rally covered with ladies'. who looked down
upon the multitude who assembled in tho
great square in front, and with their happy
faces gave courage and hope to the asPira.
ton which burst forth in the tremenduous
cheerings of an excited populace. II was
an imposing affair, and almost gave me
some hopes Of a glorious future Tor th's
iN-goverued country. NJ zaaa5gs-
The foreigners residing here all turned
out with banners, except the Austrians, who
deemed it advisable to refrain from exhibit
ing their hated flag,lest some serious sdistur-
bance would be the result. John Bull was
there with his black cockade, and Brother
Jonathan spread the American Eaglet TO tho
breeze. / believe oil the Americans here
took part in the ceremonies and joined in
the huzzas for Italian liberty. rs !. ,sslai5

GovERNoRs.-It is very evident that the
people prefer to be governed by Democrats.
All the Governors who have been elected
this fall, by the people, are Democrats, viz:
Dana, OF Maine; Towns of Georgia;
Thomas, Of Maryland; Skunk, Of Pennsyl-
vania; and Haines, OF New Jersey. Yet
in three of the States which have elected
them, Whig Legislatures have been chosen,
with majorities in both branches. Such is
the case in Georgia, Maryland, and New
Jersey. In Vermont no choice Of Governor
was effected by the people.-.N Y Jour

Newspaper Postage.

The Stark County Democrat says that
eyery Democratic ballot cast, at the recent
election in that county, was in faycr of the
free postage law which was repealed by the
last Congress, and that return Of that fact
will be made to the approaching Congress.
We believe the people of this county, with
out distinction of party, are in favor Of the
repeal Of the Inv charging postage on pa
pers within thirty miles from the Office of
publication. The press throughout the
the country, with very few exceptions, have
expressed themselves in favor of its repeal.
% At Convention of the Democracy
of Columbiana county held ut New Lisbon,

vention, q resolution was adopted unani-

port the nomination of Col. JOHN B.
WELLER, of Butler county, as the demo-
cratic candidate for Governor in 1846.-
The name Of Col. WELLER has been
raised by quite number ofthe democratic
papers; and though last August, he publish
ed card declining the nomination, it is
thought that he will consent to be the can
dldate. The names of several other dis

that when the delegates of the democracy

reached us by telegraph. The only item
of news we find in it is the following para

The telegraph reports the death of Cap
tain Churchill. This is probably a mis-.
take-at any rate, it is not our Capt.
Churchill, he was in the vicinity of Mexico,
and not Matamoras.~ Our Vera Cruz and
Matamoras papers make no mention of a
Captain Churchill. The Flag reports the
death of two Americans-Joseph Sorells,
formerly of Ohio, and A. H. Arndt, of Ann
Arbor, Michigan.
Since selecting the aboue, we have our.
selves received copy Of the Flag of the
18th. We cut from it the following addi-
tional paragraphs:
A H1NT.-We are in possession of the
city OF Mexico--of the Oldest and best es-
tabished Mint in the Republic. We there
fore suggest that Dies of the United States

those Of the United States. with the sole
difference Of the word MExrce at the base

soldiers be paid in this coin, which will
find its way to Europe and the United
States, and whatever may be the result of
the war, will be preserved in every Cabi.
net of Coins, as an indistructible memorial
of the conquest.
BY retaining the Mexican prohibition on
the introduction Of uncoined silver, seign.
orage on this coin may be enacted much
more than sufficient to pay the expense of
coinage. Through judicious regulations a
considerable revenue might be derived
therefrom. For instance, let silver be al
lowed to be brought to the mint in pasta, or
any other form, without the necessity of
being cast into barsand tax being levied
thereon. The Mexican impositions on sill
YER in its various forms can be
exported in the shape ofcoin- z6r $50 heavy

ed American coinage be established at one.
fourth, or one eighth the Mexican, silver
will find its way into the Mint in Mexico
in such abundance as to keep it constantly
and beneficially employed, whilst the Mex
lean coinage and the revenue accruing
therefrom TO the Mexican government, will
decrease in the ratio of American coinage.
AT the election for two Justices of the
Peace and Constable for the District of
Santa Rita, Nueces county, held on Mon
day last, there was 40 opposition to the can
didates nominated in our paper, who. re-
ceiyed about seventy-fve votes each. Hen.

have been polled, but from some misappre.

the nature of the Offices which were to be

EXCELLENT SIR:-In the discharge of
an inseperable duty imposed upon me @ bv
the constitution, for the faithful discharge
OF which am responsible to God and nv

Executive power Of the Republic, and to

ton which threaten j. under its present
circumstances circumstances by which
the invader himself doubtless sees with sur
prise how much his designs Of occupation
or conquest are promoted, the state being
without head, and public affairs involved
in utter confusion. May it never be said
OF me by my countrymen, or by foreigners
friendly to Mexico, that through my irreso-
luton or cowardice the nation was aban.
doned to her sad fate, and that alone am
responsible for the awful destiny that a.
waits her, unless some constitutional au.
thority gathers up and unites again the
ties, now broken, which should bind the
States ofthe republic together, and which
may yet make Of them respectable and
powerful nation. am fully Of opinion
that without being wanting in any of the
qualifications prescribed in the constitution,
l can at this moment, and alone, assume
executive power; but even were there
some constitutional requirements with
which could not. vigorously comply, the
same being by the force of circumstances
