1t is whispered that Mr. Benton's plan for
conquering peace with Mexico, which he
refuses to divulge, is for him to be made. Lieut.
General with three millions in his pocket, and
when he gets into Mexico he will declare him
self Independent Of the United States, set
up government for himself, and at the head
of our army, which he expects TO suborn,
make peace with our Mr.. Polk!

90 Mr.. Polk asks the MexIcans TO trust his
words, and claims their confidence on the
grounds that he has never Jalsifedthem. This
is certainly taxing the creduli,y even Of Mexi-
cans to greater extent than we ever supposed
it possible for Mr.. Polk to have the hardwood
to do!

or The Union is puzzled to know what General
Taylor means by STRICT observance of the Con-
sitution, as desirable in President. We can VEN
ture to assure the Union that it is not Of the POLK
schools school that processes the principles Of
1898, and practices upon the principles Of absouism,
by which the autocrat Of the Russas administers
his Government.

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRAT.
This is the title of a Weekly paper publish
ed in this city, the fourth number of which re-
joices in NINE columns of Government adver-
lisements. II has some 200 subscribers TO read
these advertisements and its filthy abuse Of the
Wing party, and particularly Of the illuslrious
General Taylor. Now, every German adopted
citizen in The country is the supporter OF the
heroic Taylor, and it could not be otherwise,
for no people love heroism and purity more
than the Germans; therefore, this paper, which
is disgrace to the German language, is paid
for vilifying the old Thunderer Of Buena Wis.,
ia by the government Of Mr.. Polk, who hates
him with hatred that no pen can describe.
But what is this National Democrats TWAS
originally established here by very worthy
and honest man by the name of Sage, who
employ ed man by the name Of Shocking 10
edit il. This was in Tyler's day. Shocking
persuaded Tyler that by its means he could
bring all the German votes to support this tral
Tor Tor another term, and forthwith the Nation
al Zeitung, which was then lis name. received
immense government patronage. Mr.. Sage
received no participation in the profits OF this
business, sold out the concern to another, from
whom il passed into the hands OF Shocking,
who, in the meantime, had obtained from Ty-
Ter thousand dollar clerkship, which he still
holds. From Stockings hand il has passed
into the possession of Francis n. Grund, n
Gross, and another, who are TO pay for It out
OF the proceeds of the government advertise
ments, which Mr.. Grund, by his position with
the Administration, does obtain, and is TO OBJ,
tain. AS i, is possible that the administration
does not know the facts in this matter, have
here given them, that it may, if pleases. nip in
the bud this nice little scheme Of plumber upon
the public treasury. The Germans. in body,
assure you, will not touch the concern with
ten foot pole. +.

T Monsieur Polk, in the plenitude Of his
power, tells the Mexicans through Gen. Scott,
that he cannot pay any regard to the peace
party in the United States. Be it SO; but in
l848 they will pay some regard to him; and
il will be such regard that he will wish he
had been plunged into the sea with mill
stone about his neck, before he ever saw the

hold and occupy their country threatens our
