corruptinc effect of extended patronage and IT.
responsible power. BY holding Mexico as
province, the government of the Union would
become Imperial, and the States be reduced To
mere corporations. Not only would the States
be DEGRADED and stripped Of their sovereignty,
but the evil would not end there the power
transferred from the States tc the Union would
he transferred from the Legislative department
IN thc Executive. All the immense patron
ace. which the holding of Mexico as prov
incc would create, the maintenance oi large
army to hold it in subection, and the appoint
mont of a multitude of civil officers TO govern
il. would be vested in the President. This
must necessarily give him the means OF con-
trolling the Legislature, and make the fresi-
dcncy itself such an object of fierce and cor
rupt competition as, in the end, to destroy ev-
cry ycstige of free government.
To incorporate Mexico into the Union would
be equally fatal. The mere formal establish
ment of Territories and States is nothing
The character of the population, and its com
petency to assimilatc with our people, and to
support free government upon the model OF
our own nicely adjusted system, is the point to
be considered. Judging from analogous eases,
Mexico can never be reconciled to our authorl-
ty. The better class have Castilian blood in
their veins, and are of the old Gothic stock
OF all people upon earth they are the Wost
pertnacious they hold cut longer and often
when there would seem to be no prospect OF
ever making eflectual resistance. 1t is admit
ted, that they are now universally hostile to
us, and the probability is, will continue so.-
But, supposing this difficulty overcome, arc
we willing to admit them! Are we prepared
to add twenty new States to the Union of the
character just mentioned Are they fit to
govern themselves, or fit to govern us! Will
the old States consent to be absorbed in he
terogcncous conledcracy made up, to such an
extent, of pure Indians, and mixed race lnie-
rior in every social and intellectual quality to
our own Cherokccs and Choctaws!
/ Mr. Calhoun then stated anew the plan he
had at all times recommended, viz. to occupy
dcfcnsivcy, and hold subject to negotiation,
portion of the territory of Mexico, which we
may deem ample to cover all proper claims up
| ON her. and which will be best suited to us to
acquire, and least advantageous to her to lose
! Such course, had it been originally adopted,
besides the saving of an immense sacrifice oi
men and money, would have eflectually pre-
| vented our being cntanglcd in the affairs OF
1 Mexico, from which we find it now difficult to
| cxtrcatc ourselves. This consideration alone
| gives it decisive advantages over the course re-
! commended by the President, and makes it
! vastly superior, even if it should involve the
! same sacrifice of men and money to maintain n
| defensive line, as would, to use the usual
! phrase, the vigorous prosecution Of the war
| Mexico is to us a dead body, and this is the
! only way we can cut the cord, which binds MS
to the corpse.

The New York Courier and Enquirer,

1.-The most unexpected incident of the
news to-day is, that the sliding scale OF
duties on the Importation of Foreign corn
(grain) is to he restored. Thus, then,
vanish the provisions of free trade. 1t is,
however, we believe, by the expiration OF
temporary law suspending the corn laws,
and not abolishing or repeating them and
not by any new legislation or order in
Council, that the sliding scale is to be re-
stored. Whether the House Of Com
mons, strangely compounded as it is,
will venture to propose the absolute re-
peal of the corn laws, and whether, if a
bill pass that body, it can be passed
through the Peers, while prices of grain
are so comparatively low in England and
the harvest so comparatively good, may
be looked upon as very doubtful"
"At any rate, the doctrine of free trade
in grain is not as yet recognised doc
trine in England"
