1.-THE Battle of Life. "

We have often been impressed by the deep
significance of the phrase, which Dickins has
given as title to one of his Christmas stories,
" The Battle of Life" 1t is full of solemn
meanings. All our hours, from the cradle to
the grave, are bat series of antagonisms.-
Hunger, fatigue, sickness, temptation, sin,
remorse, sorrow-these are the strong powers
with which we must wage continual war
Foes beset us from without and from within
and make life one long and earnes. battle
But there are victories TO 6e won on this field,
more glorious than those which crimsoned
Marathon and Waterloo. Evil habits may be
subdued-fery passions brought under the
control of principle--tcmptations resisted

sponsibilty of the introduction and probable
success of that war measure-.what an alb
surdty.
There is one other point that is material to
the case. The Ten Regiment bill and Mr.
Cahoun's resolutions were not regarded by
the Wings as rival measures. If one had
failed, the other could not have been made a
substitute. Mr.. c. introduced his resolutions
before the Ten Regiment bill was reported to
the Senate and he asked the privilege of ex-
planning them to the Senate before the Ten
Regiment bill was taken up. His desire, how
ever, was not quite gratifed, but on the next
tee on Foreign Relations, and one of the
strongest war men in the Senate called up
Mr.. Calhoun's resolutions, and while they
were up Mr.. c. spoke against Mr.. Folks Mex
lean war. The resolutions were then laid
aside, and have not been heard of since
This occurred on the 4th of January. The
bill to raise ten more regiments of regulars for
the Mexican war has been under discussion
ever since, now nearly two months, the Wing
Senators resisting it all this time in every shape
Mr.. Webster himself, gentlemen in Washing
ton tell us, is prepared to make one of his
powerful speeches against it and the war.
Mr.. D. closes his letter by saying, that he is
prepared to prove that the statements made
by him in relation to the Wing party are all
true" Our readers can see by his letter hoo
he has proved two of them. If the above is
fair specimen of his manner of proving state
ments, and we doubt not it is, then it would
be very easy matter for him to prove any
thing, however absurd and false.
We think we have shown conclusively that
instead of proving the two positions taken by
Mr.. Davis, that gentleman, with all his proofs,
has only involved himself, if possible, in still
greater absurdities, and we should advise him
not to attempt any more fancy sketches, but
to make an effort to penetrate and understand
the subjects upon which he discourses, that
when he offers what he thinks are positive
peoofs, he may know whether they have any
relation to the subject or not.

elfdenial cheerfully sustained and life itself
consecrated to high and holy purposes. To
triumph over the infrmities of perverted

passion and stained by sin, beautiful with love
made manifest in deeds of benefcence, is

Dog Fighting

Is without doubt one of the most enrolling
and eralting amuscments men(s y can devise for
their qualification To see some dozen or
twenty persons endeavoring, by stamping and
shouting, to set two dogs to fighting, gives

BRUNSWICK, Feb. 25th

The Irish ro,os have been quelled. Two of
the rioters have been apprehended, and proba-

living, and it is thought he may recover.
The rows were between the Corkonans and
the Conoughtmen, caused by a fued that has
long existed between them. On "Wednesday,
about one hundred of the former were collect

with fire arms, shillelahs, &c. They had lit
tie bit of "set-to" among themselves, just to
keep their hands in. A Mr.. Stackpole who
lives near, as he was walking on his own land

struck the collar of his jacket. Z.

From Mexico.

By arrivals from Vera Cruz the New
Orleans papers have dates to the 22d ult..
Gen. Cadwallader and Mr.. Trist came
over. The Picayune of the Both has the,
following items, from the True American,
published at Vera Cruz:
A grand banquet was given in Vera.
Cruz on the evening Of the 10th inst, by
the French residents and others. in honor
OF the revolution in France. The Amer
leans were TO celebrate the same glorious
event on the 22d.
The Free American remains of opinion
that there is little prospect of peace. On
the 18th, its language is: We announced
few days ago, that we had conversed
with gentleman from Mexico, who was
of opinion that the members of Congress
would not vote for the treaty as ratified
at Washington. We have since seen
two letters from influential men, one at
Queretaro and the other at Mexico, who
coincide in opinion with the gentleman in
question. Another letter says, that should
the members of Congress violate the con.
stitution of Mexico. by eeding any part Of
VIC inO
have to ask the United States to leave
force of several thousand men to keep
order in the republic. The writer is of
opinion that so soon as the American
troops will embark for the United States,
the government will be overthrown, and
new causes for war will be given TO the
United States, by the turbulent people of,
this country"
We regret to learn that Gen. Kearney
has been seriously i'll at Vera Cruz; at
the same time we rejoice thai he was
pronounced out Of danger, and GONZALES
cent at last accounts.
The state of Mexico gives its voice for
General Herrera as President; he receiv-
ing l52 out OF l66 votes.
There was caucus ofthe members of
Congress present at Queretaro on the
10th inst, at which resolutions were
adopted to prevent members then present
from afterwards absenting themselves,
and to fill one or two seats made vacant
by promotion or otherwise. II appeared
that but few members were then wanting
to form quorum-but this is an old story.

ceedings of the meeting relative to the
political principles of the member of Con-
gEess from this District. The Democrats
Of Iroquois declared ihsir disappPobation
Of many Of his official acts, but they said
not word ofhis principles.
The Democrat is also guilty of per-
versions of the truth in representing The
meeting as taking ground against consti-
tmional appropriations for Harbors and
Rirers. Not word on the subject oe-
ours in the proceedings, or was heard al
the meeting.
Why did not the Democrat publish these
proceedings? Why were they so care
fully kept from the public eye? The rea
son is evident. The falsity ofthe article
| have quoted, would have been exposed
The Democrat processes to be the organ
Of the democratic party. Why then are
not its columns open to the proceedings o.
democratic meetings. Why is every
thing that bears against Mr.. Wentworth
refused an insertion?
The democrats of Vermillion held 9
Convention on the 18th Of March last, q
which resolutions in favor of rotation il
Office were passed. The Democrat refu
ses to publish the proceedings.
What does it mean? Why are the De
moeracy ofthe District refused a hearing
unless their views conform TO particula
standard ? lROoUois.

fFus Decentralization Of It's new Editor.
There was an article published In the
last ''true Democrat which certainly
would have astonished US had We not seen
the new editor try bis hand at laundering
once before. When we consider the high
position he processes to assume in the
community, it is certainly matter OF deep
regret to US, that he should stoop to the
vile position Of q defamer. Of him, we,
and the community in particular, expected
better things. We, however, are COM,
PEELED, much against our own wishes, TO
assume position towards our new neigh
Dor which we very much regret. He has
been the aggVessor, and ace shall not shrink
when we are wantonly assailed.
He commences by asking his patrons
to bear with him, while he would allude
to the attitude which we have assumed in
regard to him. He appears to believe
that the remarks we made about the cause
of the "True Democrat changing hands,
few weeks since, were intended for him.
What leads him to this conclusion We
made no direct allusion to him, neither did
we intend to do so but il seems that "the
wicked flee when no man pursues. He
may deny certain things which sre know
are true. But facts are stubborn things"
and what is the worst foT him, there are
others conversant with the matter as we'll
as ourselves. We would advise him TO
let this matter rest, for the least that 10
said about it, the better for him.
The new editor, to cap the climax. re-
sorts to the position, as his predecessor
did, of accusing US of being advised in our
acts-that we are controlled by "unprin-
cipled men! In reply to this we would
state that we have too much respect for
his feelings to use the epithets that he ap.
piled to us; however, we could properly
and correctly apply them in this place.
We will. however, say that that charge is
becoming stale, on account of its frequent
repetition. Come, neighbor. don't harrow
up the worn out corporations of your pre-
decessor, hut get something new. The
people have heard all this before, and will
they believe itany sooner by being repeat.
