free negroes iu the State of Virginia. Governor Smith
we see, in his message to the Legislature OF that State
renews his recommendation for the removal of the

States will receive them. Here is q chance for the

are ever to be raised from the ignorant and debased

DECLINES ANSwERING.-The resolution which pas
sed the House of Representatives on the 4th inst, by
the overwhelming vote of las to IS, calling upon thu
President for copies of all correspondence between thi
government and our officers of the armp and navy
and with Santa Anna, in relation to his return II
Mexico in 1916, we thought would be sure to brin!
out the history of that matter; but it seems we wer
mistaken. Mr.. POLK is not prepared to breast til
storm of Pronunciation and condemnation which W
have, from the first, thought would follow the publ
cation of that correspondence, ard he now skulk
behind the plea that il is incompatible with the pub
lie interest, - to give any information respecting tn
return of Santa Anna to Mexico, When the mes
sage was read in the House, Messrs. Adams, Scheme
Toombes, and others, severely censured the Piesi
dent for his conduct. The matter is bound to see tn
light, Notwithstanding Mr., Folks opposition.
RrIt is said that the Committee on claims in Cor
sress are crowded with business and among tn
scores of petitions already presented are thirty an
more growing out of claims incident to the war wit
Mexico. Some Of these are nearly one hundred thous
ank dollars in amount, and many of them are yer
large.
One is for horses necessarily taken for the publ
service by Col. Doniphan while on his march to Chi
huahua, and the claimant alleges that this seizure
his horses was the cause of still further loss of PROF
erty in goods which were also taken.
Another claim is for the horses taken from the En-
earnation prisoners. of which C, M. Clay and Job
P. Gaines were parties. These claims are but tn
BEGINNING of the end. If there were many grown
out OF the Florida war, they will be a legion as th
consequence ofthe war with Mexico.

as very appropriate to the task in which we are
engaged, aud to show how easily apparent con
Predictions may Be recoHeiled, We refer our
readers to Proverbs, chap &c, 4th and 9th
verses. While on this part Of his speech the
Col. expressed great deal Of apparent rePug-
nance to enter upon such task; but to us 1t
seemed, and we speak in all candOr, very much
like the repugnance Of an old topper 10 a tumb-
Ter OF brandy, when prescribed as medicine
he makes many wry faces, but some how 81
other contrives to get it down, and for lear he
may not have taken enough to answ er, calls
fo' another lumber asa regular drink, not as a
medicine.
But we are crOwding the printer and can
only allude to one other por ion Of the speech
that where the Col. expressed his dislike OF
campaign papers. We well recollect when
Henry A. Wise, a worthy colaborer OF the
Col. expressed his joy that there was not o
newspaper in his district. Had there been we
think Mr.. Wise would never have occupied a
seat in Congress. We admit that campaign
papers have their faults-so has every good
thing. Steam destroys life and proPerty-reli-
gion makes bigots and hypocrites-yet who
would destroy either Of them? We can point
out to the Col. what we consider the advan-
tOges of campaign papers, but we fenr he will
consider these very advantages as evils. In
the first place they are published very cheap
and are thus brought within the reach of the
poor, who otherwise would be dependent upon
the speeches Of caucus speakers, who, know
ing that no one will be allowed to reply to
them, can withhold documents, or pervert or
misquote them, and VINO always speak only for
their own side, no matter how loud may be
their professions Of candor and fairness, In
fact, were it not for campaign papers many o!
our citizens would never be able to get Gen,
Taylor's letters and form their own opinions of
them, but would be compelled to rely upon
those who might, possibly, have some interest
in misleading them. This reason alone will
suffice for the present, even without saying
that many democrats never would have seen
Cuss' Nicholson letter and formed their own
opinions about it, unless some Of the Taylor
campaign papers had reached them.
