1t frequently happens that IN. features

individual likeness for many wears after
the burial. Experience however. has pr

minutes, dust returns to dust again. The
following circumstance occurred at the

the purpose of being entombcd beneath a
splendid monument.

In all these points of view we fully admit the
fdeity OF the picture so complacently sketched by
the President. But then there Is reverse to it,
In the first place, the advantages have been pur-
chased at price exceeding even that which was
apprehended by the pacific econ omsts of Congress
thirty millions OF dollars were expected by Mr..
Calhoun 10 be absorbed by this drain upon the trea
snry, but even Mr. Folks own figures show that
MY millions is nearer the mark, exclusive oftwe}v-
millions which are further to be paid down TO Mex
ico LOT this cheap stroke of her pen. The public
debt has been As nearly as possible quadrupied by
the costs OF the war, and, though the ACQUISITIONS
are geograEhcaiiy great, yet it must be remember
ed that California was only valued at fifteen mil
lions by Its appraisers IN the Senate. Then there
comes the effect prOducible upon the Union by the
addition OF this "great empire" to territories area
dy tar beyond the wants of their inhabitants tits
clear that misgvings have already occurred to the
President respecting the possible influence Of this
great consummation upon the indivisibility of the
republic but, such as il may be, it must now
work ITS way, and will not be neutralized as Mr.
Polk may assure himself, by any monitory moral
which Presidents message may convey. Next
there is the operation of this military "trumph'
upon the temper and spirit of the people, for Mr.
Polk has kindled flame which will not be
quenched easily by declarations against stand
ing army, or innuendo es against ambitious gene
rails Lastly, there is the inevitable result OF the
injustice which commenced the war, and the bad
faith which conducted II. II is true that Oalifor-
MIA was worth nothing to Mexico, and may be
worth much to America ; but If considerations oil
this sort should be held to Justify compulsory
transfer OF property, there will soon be end,
both among nations and individuals, to the rights
of all property whatever. Mr.. Folks peroration is
specous and his gains brilliant, but the one is
so hollow, and the other so lll-gotten, that we
know not how to place any reliance upon the cvn-
cluslons offered, or the prospects displayed.
