Christi must have bSen considered, by the Mexican government, much invasion of their territory. as tbeiF advance.to the Rio Grandefo- ,heir claims tween the Nnsces and the Rio Grande but e1tsn- dcd over inc whole of Texas. As an evidence that this claim generally entertained, and popular In Mexico. the usurper Psrades to silence the sOldiery, and tickle the vanity of the people, had made boastfai promise to re-eoneuer the reyolted province ef Texas, and was at that time actually gathering forces fer the purpose Oar IaiAister Mr. SIideli, was rejected and Gen. Taylor advised the advance of the army the banks of the Rio Grande No hostile protest made on the part of Mexico against that movement. The advance was regardcd ne greater outrage than the isadirg of our army in what they claimed to be fcvolted province, had becn Geu. Parades had not delayed his attack i'll Taylor, by ad 'ancing so the Rio Grande, had inya- ded Mexico, but til he had concentrated force which he deemed sufficient to crush a; one blow eur gallant little army. Having, he supposed, ac- compIished this, he poured his legions upon the Texian frontier and crossing the Rio Grsnde he dared to shed on our own soil the blood of Ameri- can soldiers. say our soil, for Texas claimed it. Before the annexation she an independant na- ton, treating with us upon terms of equity. As such, we had right to decide upon the justice of her claims, nor to dictate to her her proper hounda ries; but, in receiving her, We were bound to re- ceive such boundaries she herself should claim.
 The miserable sophism of the whigs, that we
 invaded Mexico in marching to the banks of the Rio Graude, is too shallow to impose upon any strong, or candid mind. IL never occurred to the minds of tic cunning Mexicans themselves, till il was sug eested by their friends here. The whigs declare that Texas had just claims to the territory be- yoad the Nueces, and therefore we should not have enteredit. But fl they so fastidiousy deseant upon the righs of the two nations the might, with equal justice, declare that Texas mad no right to annex herself 10 us, had we right to receive her. be cause Mexico s;ia claimed her q revoltcd pro- vince, although she could not maintain this claim, and Texas was in the eyes of all nations free and independent State And yet, with such facts be- fore them, the whigs heap curses upon the admins -tration for commeHeing this infamous this "Pre- sidents war; bat, with distinguished consistency, they wish to make Taylor president for being chief egent in carving it on NJ.

MR. EDITOR We had in this vicinity, Sa,ur- day, grand democratic rally, barbecue, and a splendid speech from Etector RoAxE. The crowd ordinary efforts made by tle whlgs 10 make t small by contradicupg the notice of the meeting and other means
 The Col. had the right kiad of q crowd about him and the frequent and cheering shouts that rent the air tod plainly that he deyefed himself of the right kind of speech.
 l cannot do more than "gEcss'' how the matter stands in other portions of the State, but in ihi. county the dcfnccracy is clear of any tineture oi Taylorisn If there was vestage of it herr. the Col. has rooted il out. As it foTcbiy remarked by whig paper, his speech ,eia be long renein. bered. The Colouel's Sbject to unite the de nioeraoy here upon the democratic principles, and to prevent any Reorganization that may exist i'll our county elections from bearing upoa the Presi deniia election. ! think he has succeeded to the fsIlest extent anl whatever may be our fate a party, on next Monday, am satisfied tiie county will give Cdss ma ority in November If an effort 10 accomplish these objects, constitutes a tool, then has Col R. sought 10 be made tool of as has been alleged. Men, who are in the habit of making tools of others, arc prone .o ti@rk that others dc the same.
 Col Newton and Gov. Drew, an told, have en- tered pretty warmly into the canvas in the nort- west. The reports put m the papers, some where, that Gov. Drew was opposed to Col. Seyier, Is alI fudge" The Governor has done such thing He may be opposed to Hempsteai; bat through him, according to my information, his object has been i higher one than to disparage any democrat.
 Gen. Yell should make an appointment at Suipher Rock. n this county 10 miles east of ,his, in his northern to$r.
 We hope for th. best on Monday, and look for the day with bOldness, aud will meet our opponents with fair front We are confident of the election of our senator and representative, and wIdo the best we can for the other.
 Respectfully yours, &c.

Without avowing pr .ncip!e. assigning reason for surrendering his independent position, or ma king the slightest excuse to the many men to whom he had pledged himself not to. become subservient to party schemes.--Gen. Taylor accepts the noml- nation of the Philadelphia Slaughter House Con vention.
 This ss uc doubt the last of that series of epises which. coming iu constant for about four months, have pSoiessed such devotion 10 the popu- lar wi--such determination not to be used by party --such profound dstrust 9f sei'-such sincere wishes that another might be Prefsrred--such re- peated declarations that he not qualified fer the ofce "a that \. had never studied public measures exercised the right of suffrage.
