o. The NewYork Dutch Schnellpost says
that 800 Swiss have rendered their services TO
Mr.. Polk to serve during the war with Mexico.
We look daily for the order accepting The ten
der; He has more right 10 accept the services
Of foreigners to fight our wars, as he had to
bring on the war and 10 make tariff Of duties
for the captured ports Of the Unned States-for
he has only to intimate to them 10 emigrate 10
certain state and then he can accept them as
volunteers from that state under the act Of May
18th. l846. Swiss soldiers are worthy to be
commanded by the SWISS PoLIrIcAS now at
the head Of our government! Now is the time
for the Sscis CORE pondent Of the Philadelphia
Ledger to get that commission!
