Putting an end 10 the Mar.

The Whigs are without doubt vaiorous men, They have taken up arms to put down the war, and they are disposed to fight for their object This is the position the Democrats have takem They say we must light for peace So the object of ali is the same, but how to attain it is the question The Democrats say that peace will come fron fighting lhe Mexicans, and the W higs say that t will come ot fighting and resisting the Democrats. Mean time the Mexicans say they wiIl not come to terms uat'l they get ready. If the whirs should be ,ic torious then the Democrats will be driven from the held, and ihe Mexca0s F-insin ia staia quo. II the Democrats victorious. then the Mexieans and the wbigs Will both get souniIy thrashed. When people are we'll aogged, they are generally ready to make peace upon any terms. Nothing remains to De done 10 bfing the war to end but I0r the De- iooerats to knock Ire Wings into silence and apply the rod to the Mexicans until they smart we'll All parties then will be ready for peacelhe Mexieans, because they smart; the Whigs because tbeir pow CT ot speech is voted down; and the Democrats be- cause they have become weary with ,heir great la- bors.--R Y.

With tho deepest rogret we announce Inc de- cease Of this gentleman. We learn from the Fort Smith Herald that after suffering from illness for the last twelve months, he departed this If. Ut Fort Gihson on the llth inst.
 Gel. Mex. was well known to the citizens of the Western psrt of this Statc, where hc has resided fer ths last twelve years, and his integrity. and honesty of character, his moral worth and excel lencs h all the relations of life secured for him the Ieve and esteem of all who had enjoyed an acquain tance with him. He has held several important of- hcss. and at tbe iimc of his death had the respon- sibie staiien of Cherokee agent. Although on unwasesing Democrat, all parties have been saiis. hed with the manner in which he has performed the official duties which devolved uron him, and bat one sentiment prevailed In rcgardto his upright character his benevolcnce of heart, and his dis tinguished usefulness to society. Col. Nick. was . Tennesseean by birth, in which State as we'll us this be has many relations and warm friends to la menf his death.

The NO-Party Party,

We cannot employ our time better at present than by exposing the insidious attempts of whiggery, 10 destroy the union, which now prevails in the demos cratic ranks, by the cry of let do away with all party" The arguments used in urging this policy are ingenious enough, but no soptisiry can hide tc eIoven foot conceal from the fact taata is an argument rhiei cat coae oaly from Mose ia Ms minority, and a distinguished statesman once re- marked whenever a man is adverse to parties and insists that party feeling should be done away with, you may set him down "dourishing at inc head or dangling at the tail of the worst party m the union They tell us that we are losing sight of the great in. terests of the S,ate in this political squabble, and that every measure of importance is neglected in &c.," Without for moment admitting that this is true. we would ask how tie am.gamation Of par ties would, in any degree. remedy such wrong Should we obtain from among the people more in- tellisent, purer, or more patriotic representatives than have hitherto had the destinies of the Staie in their hands We think not; but on the contrary where, the stimulus of party is wanting, where no political contest is xnown the masses of the people would lose half, the interest usnaly felt at elections
 
 of cunning demagogues or becoming prey to the designs and wi,e-woskingo of political hacks
 If, as 1t is contcnded the affairs of the State have been misnanaged, and her finances misuscd by the dominant party while under the superveiance of an argns-cycd opposition, will these sage anti partyists show us how, when no dread of exposure exists, the evil will be remedicd It Is no new doc rine that the very viru'euce of party feeling, the deep anxiety to deiect corruption and misrule in an opposing fsc'ion, is the strongest safe guard to our rights; and nonc would deny this, who did not suppose that the people could be gued into the belief, that amid these political bickcrings their inc tcrcsts have been neglected We repeat that it is trick, and plausible one to lead the democracy into forge,fulncss of the principles which have heretofore given 1t prominence in the State, aud leave small chance to the whigs, by which they msy creep into power Let us then give no coun- tenance to such schemes, although they come to us backed by few pretendei democrats. Let the land ,na'k which have 90 often led us to triumph, still be guide, and can have nothing to fear either from whig stratagcm or ".fhy'' democrats

SeaatOr Serier, of Arkansas.

This gentleman is justly entitled 10 the resnect and admiration of the country, for his ability and uncomPronisiDg devotion to her sound interests and sound principles. We are told by an iutina,,. friend, that he has kind heart, anited with high order of talent, which he never ais, on suitable oc casi ms, to exert for the protection of Inc peonle against the avariee and cupdity of their ageais in Congres@. He is not opposed to pro, iding well for those tn service, but beyond that he will not DO.
 It Is generally supposed that tho appropria,ions fo, state papers and books Is made for the National Ii brary, but many of our readers will be astonishe5 when told thai members get about six hundred dol. lars wotth Of these documents to dispose of as hest suits them, in addition to their SS per day. extra mileage, stationery, &c. &e.

The Cause of Edueatisa.

We are happy to find that oar community are awakening upon this sabeci and have become sem sibls ef the necessity of estnbl shing among us schools of higher order and moro permanent char actes than we have hitherto had. Several well qualified gentlemen, we understand propose to open insitHtions of this kind and afford to the cizens of this State opportunity for education of the most desirable kind. In connection with the subject we beg leave to call attention to tho notice in another eeauma of the Rev. Mir. Turrentine, with the hope that hs may meet with such encouragement as his vel known ability and the importance of his under taking demsnd.
 K gives Us great pleasure to add that the Rt Rev. Bishop Byrne will commence early as practicable day school 10 be conducted under his superinten- dsace, by two clergymcn from the East competent in erery respect to discharge the duty of conduct inf classical academy.
 The number of pupils he will at first receive he intends shall Do limited until assurance of such patronage is given, win enable him to establish seminary of the first class. Tho learbing and piety sf the Bishop. his benevolent character and energy of purpose. all serve to satisy that institution under his charge will be universally approved, and receive the most liberal support.

Tax on Ten and Coffee.

The whig papers appear to be very much frigh. tened nj the proposition of President Polk to lay duty on Tea and Doffee. They speak of ii as an almost unheard of thing, and their sympaihes for the poor whose only uxaies it is proposed to tax arc aroused to the highest pitch, and find vent in al sorts of snaihenas against the administration Now this perhaps would be all right enough, If these same W igs were a li,tlc more cons Rtent. We our self, have always oppose tax Tea and Coffee
 -ior da'y on article is tar. oa the consnmef a1though this is the only instance in which have known the Whigs to acknowledge it--uncss cir cams'aQces s'enld render 1t absolutely necessary If any nehsurc can be devised by which the wants of the government can be met without taxing the few lnxures which the poor enjoy, we sliai rejoice heartily any one; and have little doubt that Congress will devise some such measure and leave tea aud coffee to go scot free as heretofore. H will bc receeeted that 1t proposed to tax these articles at tho last session. but then Democratic Congress refused 10 do 1t. Should such tax, however, be deemed necessary, we presume the people wi cheerfuiiy submit to it.
 But the fun of the thing ls, to see the whigs hold up their hands In shoi& horror at tho bare susges- ton of tax on Tea and Coffee suggestion made when 1t is necessary to bring the whole resources of the government iato requisition--when they themselves not only recommended but endeavored to leaVy such tax, few years ago only, in time of peace, and when the government could very easily get along vi bout it. We refer to the time when the tariff in lS42 was reported by a Whig committee in a waig congress, which contained a clause levying duty on Tea and Ceffee. We have not the vote in the House before us, but in the Senate inc Democrats to a man opposed the tax as unnecessary. A motion made to strike out the obeciional clsus, and the whigs roted t dorn. The vote stood ayes 22--ALL DEMOCRATS: noes 26 ALI wHIGsi So much for the consistency of tho whigs in opposing tax on the poor mans luxu- ricsp- HhnehaH Den.
