shore, and still the sail was standing. Being
well acquainted with The river, regarded The
position of tie boat as extraordinary and haz-

ssTHE GRAND ISSUE"

The locofocos of the State, through their ac. credited organs, have made the Mexican War the grand issue of the approaching election in Connecticut, With that fact distinctly before the people, we have no fear of the result. The citizens of Connecticut have too much govd semse, too much sf sound mora. principle, too much of TRUE patriotism. to record tt.ei, sanction oi war begun in spirit of conquest, and with the avowed object of extending the dominions of slavery. Be it remembered that the measures which produced the war have been and are repudiated by many of the lead, ing members of the administration party, who are too Intelligent and clear headed to be mis- led by the Texian land spectators. and too honest to engage in schemes which they tore. saw would bring war and bankruptcy upon the country.
 We repeat, that since our opponents have made the war the 'issue' of the election. we are willing 10 meet them on their own ground. Friends of peace and national prosperity friends oi justice anG humanity !-let it be un dess,ood that every vote cast for the locofoco ticket at the coming election, will be counted as vote in favor ot the righteousness. the ne. eessity, the eonsfit"tionalsty, the policy. the orig,n and the objects of tine existing war a. gainst the Republic of Mexico! Remember, that every vote so cast, will be vote of censure upon your gallant and patriotic Representa- lives in Congress, who have solemnly declared in their official capacity, and under the solemn responsibilities of their oaths. that the war was 'unconsfitutionaly began by the President ,f the United States

 augarated on the ath Ol March 1899, hs nom mated Judge Mclean on the Sth, the Senate consented to it on the 9th, and the appoint maut vvua announced in the National fntsali. r.uo.r on the morning of the 7th, with the fol- lowing SsmaIks-
 sTha nrranrement Of the Cabinet Miuts~ tsrn. sume days ago 90 aulhOFatively annOun- eoA ii appears has been changed @ far as coucsrns the General Post Office. which to the oniversal regret, we are sure, of ell parties and classes of men, Mir Mclean is invited to retire from, by the offer Ofa seat on the bench 1.-the Supreme Court. As the further arrange ments are not yes known, we forbeaF tor the present, from the general reflections which are suggested by thIs unexpected occurrence and the circumstances which have attended it,"
 Mir Mclean was, therefore, never . membeI of General Jacksons Cabinet. as alleged, aHd the reason ofhis exclusion, re6ects the highest credit upon him, as a man of principle and 6vmness. It was not the practice. under the Administrations of Mr Monroe and No Adams. to recommend applicants for office, ,on account of their friendship for any particular individ. ual, and we have heard if stated upon reliable authority, that during the time Mr Mclean held the office of Post Master General, the ap- Poiutment of but single OAs was urged uPor him on that ground.
 But it is said that we have no evidence tha Judge Mclean is Whig. We think other. wise. Conclusive vidence Oi his being whil is found in the fact that he has honestly per formed the arduous duties of several of th, most important offices in the country, in { way to give general satisfaction, and without any imputation upon his fairness or bis judg- mont. And we know. that very shortly afte he went upon the bench, he wal q sailed a opposed to Jackson's administration, and iha these assaults were continued during the lad ministration of Ms Van Buren. We may ads that Judge Mclean never gave an ant B whig vote. as we are informed upon good au- thority. In 1s44, we know that he ardentl! desired the election sf Henry Clay. and did oil that it was proper for one of his position to d. to insure his success. He had been holding his Court in Detroit just before ihe election and it was apprehended that he wo0ld not b. ableato reach home in time to vste. He wal on the road. and by urging forward the drivers and rewarding them for extra dives, he wa. able to reach the city just before the close O the polls. He stopped the coach, before h, reached his home, went to the place of felecties in the first ward and voted for Clay Electors We were present when he voted. So much fo the whig feelings of judge Mclean in the pres ent contests. In relation to the issues in tn, present contest we have his published opinicr upon the war. and upon the extension of slave ry, On these all absorbing questions he i' right. His sentiments are whig sentiments. not only as regards the questions named but but upon all other great questions of policy, sustained by the whig party.
