THE COUNTRY NOT YET.a KILLED. 3,

In debate in the Senate, the 18th ultmo, be-
tween Gen. Cass and Mr.. Mangum, Gen. Cass said
sNow with respect to the progress of the war, it
is said that Gen. Scottis going from town to town,
and from city tocity, eonquering all before him.
hope that the commanding general will continue to
90 on in this way. If he does so, l have no doubt
he will conquer Mexican obstinacy and thus conquer
a peace. have already expressed my opinions with
regard to the war in Mexico and have nothing to say
the subject now, except to tell the Senator from
North Carolina, what had the honor to say to the
Senator from South Carolina that the adoponof any
resolutions in this Senate with regard any danger
if danger there be-n the progress of this war; would
be but as the idle wind. You might as we'll stand
by the cataract of Niagara and say to its waters,
6 flow not, to the American people, annex not
territory if they choose to it. 1t is the refu-
sa.of the Mexican people to do us justice that pro-
longs this war; 1t is that which operates on the
public mind and leads the Senator from North Caro-
lima to aPprehend state of things which he fears
but which for myself do not anticipate. Let me
say, Mr.. President that it takes great deal kill
this country. We have had an alarming crisis almost
every year as long as can recollect came on the
public stage as spectator before Mr. Jefferson was
elected. Then came the embargo crisis-the crisis
of the non-ntercourse-of the war-of the bank-ot
the. tarif--of the removal of the deposites-and
score of others. But have outlived them ALL and
advanced in all the elements of power and prosperity
with rapidity heretofore unknown in the history o
nations. If we should swallow Mexico tomorrow
do not believe it would kill us. The Senator from
North Carolina and myself may not live to see it
but am by no means satisfied that the day will no
come in which the whole of the vast country around
will form of the most magnificent empires tha
the world has yet seen-glorious in its prosperity
and still more glorious in the establishment and per
petuation of the principles of free government and thu
blessings which they bring with them. p

THE .LAW AND ORDER" PARTY.

, On Monday week, the Legislature of Louisiana
was to assemble under the Constitution. The SEN
ate, Democratic by majority of two, met and was
fully organized. In the House, Whig by nominal
majority of four, quorum not at any time during
the day within the bar! 1t required so to form a
quorum, but at no time there more than 46, all
Democrats but -four. The rest of the Wings, lex
had not arrived in the city) was the city and in the
State House gard but would not form quorum, lest
"a Democratic Speaker might be elected, The DEM
ocrats continued in session. and in vain sent for the
seceding Whigsbut they obstinately and faetionsly
feated the organization of the House. This is not
the FIRST time that the law and order Whig party
has actiously defeated or attempted to defeat the
ganization of legislative bodies. But we have some
hopes that their party madness will be severely re-
buked, and that Louisiana viii send to the u. S.
Senate sterling Democrat, in place of Johnson, the
Whig. Even the New Orleans Wing papers speak
of the result as doubtful. Richmond Enoairer /,

1t seems that wonders will never cease; or, per
haps ought rather to say, we appear to have arrived
at period in the progress of the world, IN which
nothing can excite astonshment, however much such
occurrences might have been calculated to fill the
breast of unsophstcated progenitor with awe and
wonder.
The votaries Of science have unlocked the secret
chambers of hidden things harnessed the subtle flu
ids to magic cars, and employed them in the service
of man, as messengers to convey around the world
intelligence of love, murder &C.; and the 'univer
sal whig party is about resuscitate the skeleton
of defunct party hack, and send him off cleo
toneering tour, ornamented with two faces,the one
looking South, pale the cheek of traitor to his
party in time of war; and the other squirting orth,
as black as the dark brow of Abolitionism.
But the natural world still continues to evince a
determination not to be outdone by either science
politics; and this part of the Old North State, ia
nous for iron works, cotton factories, gold mines,
little fshes and now and then, that rare American
productions whole-sOued, gentlemanly, patriotic re-
publican whig, seems resolved not to be behind any
other section of the country in the display of curious
things.
The latest wild freak of old dame nature in these
parts, is the production of the fifth foot hog. For
this natural curiosity, which is now in my possess
ion am indebted to the kind courtesy of J. NJ. Gra-
ham, Esq, of VesuviuS Furnace, on whose farm the
animal was reared and slaughtered. Near the knee
joint of the left fore Leg the member divides into two
distinct parts, each of which is a perfect foot,
both feet having equally shared in sustaining the
weight of the animal while alive. Esquire Graham
is young gentleman of fine qualities of mind and
heart; and though staunch whig, his patriotism is
of the true republican stamp. There,' said fed in
reference the fifth foot, see what wings can
produce.' g Good, replied democrat, standing by
but you had better be making them FAST for though
he has two faces that same old will need more
than five feet to enable him to climb into the white
house, s-5 -si Z.

POLITICAL DUPLICATES-A CONTRAST.

POLITICAL DUPLICATES--A CONTRAST.
| The Whig majority of the present House of Rep
resentaves by vote of IS to e1 have declared that
the existing war with Mexico is war g unnecessa-
ry and unconstitutionaly begun the President of
the United States. 1t is strong declaration. 1t is
made under the solemnity of an official oath. 1t will
be heard in Mexico and to the ends of the earth. 1t
is calculated to produce upon our enemies strong
effect for good for evil, because 1t charges upon
that department of our government to which the con-
stution has conded whole intercourse with for
eign powers the most atrocous crime known to the
action of nations. If it be true, then enemies
are called upo by all that appeal to the highest
instincts of human nature, to refuse peace upon any
terms of ours the very last, and forever II 1t De
true, then are the wings bound to substantlate Its
truth by an impeachment of the President If 1t be
not true then have the wings who have so voted
made themselves liable to the graves and most crush
ing accusation which can be brought against any
party in free government-that OF having causeless
ly and from partisan rage taken sides with the enc
mics of their country!
1t is momentous question for the country, there
fore consider what this vote of 85 to 81 is actua
worth at this time. To settle this question: we must
90 back to the time when the war commenced, and
see what the whig gentlemen then In the House, and
then as now acting upon the responsibility OF their
official oaths declared by their recorded votes In re-
laton to this matter. On the 18th of May, 1885,
bill was passed in the House of Representatives de-
claring in its preamble, that by the net Of Meco,
