GENERAL CAzENrAv,s CHIHuAHuA TRAIN.-l

GENERAL CAzENEAu's CHIHUAHUA TRAIN.-A
large train consisting of over fifty wagons, and ac
companied by nearly one hundred men, left Corpus
Christi, Texas the 18th ultimo, under the charge
of General Cazeneau. The Star thus speaks of the
expedition and the trade of the United States with
Northern Mexico (Texas): " This enterprise is a
most important one, not only for this place, but the
whole State of Texas. The trade of Northern Mex
leo, lucrative that it has for years engaged the
attention of capitalists throughout the north, and
employed thousands of wagons yearly in trans
porting goods to and from ST. Louis to Santa Fe
will now be directed to this, its natural chan
mel, and great benefits must flow from it to the
State through which it passes, well as great pro-
fits to those Immediately interested. If money
could be made by conveying goods the vast
extent of country between ST. Louis and Santa Fe,
after paying the enormous imposts levied at the
latter place. certainly the profits must be much in
creased by starting from here, thereby lessening
the distance o-thirds, and paying no duties at
all. 1t is General Cazeneau's intention to form two
trading posts this side of the Rio Grande,
Preside del Norte and another at Ell Paso, and the
Mexican traders will buy the goods, and themselves
convey them into Mexico"

THE DEFALCATIONs.

We wish the ex-official organ would de-
velope its new code of morals a little more
fully. The time has been when it was
considered ungentlemanly and dishonor
able, to say the least, to violate a law of
the land. AT all events, it was considered
an impeachment of mans character, to
some extent, to be guilty of an act which
the law brands as a felony, and visits
with disgraceful punishment. Now,
the Sub-treasury law declares certain Of
fences felony, and Furnishes them with
fine and Imprisonment, and those offences
have been undeniably committed by Mr..
MOORE, Mr.. DENNY, and Mr. COLLINS.
Still the Union AYERS, from day TO day,
that it is all right with those gentlemen,
and that General TAYLOR and his Cabinet
are libellers, slanderers, and assassins, for
permitting their mendacious organ TO in
sinuate the contrary.
But, with all its railing, the Union
evades the main point in this interesting
controversy. 1t has never yet told US
how it happens that information of Mr.
DENBY's default was not communicated
by Mr.. MASON to Congress.
1t has notyet explained how it happened
that, in his last annual message, Mr.. Polk
was allowed, by his cabinet advisers, to
state that no public money had been lost
in making the most distant transfers, when
it was within the knowledge of one OF them,
at least, that this sum Of Sl55,000 had
been lost
II has not yet explained how il happened
that the Sub-treasury law, warranted by
Mr.. Polk, Mr.. WALKER, and their friends,
to keep the public money safe, was un-
able to keep Mr.. DENBY's money safe,
or Mr.. CoLLINs's money safe, or Mr..
MooRE's money safe, or that of several
other equally prominent members of the
Democratic party, the sanctity Of whose
private life it will soon become our painful
| duty TO invade.

The CUBA EXPEDITION The prompttude with
which General Taylor hos lnterposed his authority
to arrest this illegal proceeding and 10 preserve the
peace and honor OF the nation fully ustihes the con-
fdence Of his friends, and will command the aprro-
baton Of the people. Among the many elements
of his success in the late Presidential election none
was more potent than his frequent declarations dur
ing the campaign, lhat though warrior by pro.
fession, he was at heart man Of peace--that wars
of conquest ard aggression were at variance with
the genius Of our Institutions, and that If elevated
to the Presidency, his efforts would be directed To
the preservation of peace by all means consistent
with the national honor. These pacific and con.
scryative sentiments were repeatedly avowed by
General Taylor previous to hseection, and we're
m marked contrast with the oeligerent and az
I gressivc spirit uniformly manifested by Gen Case
N hls public career The people. wearied and dis
gusted with the Mexican war, had learned To APP
preciaie the blessings Of peace; and The belief thai
the administrative policy Of General Taylor would
We emnently pacific. contributed essentially to de
termine the popular choice in his favor.

The truth Is, that the quarrel in the
ranks of the New York Democracy is not
about the Wilmot proviso. It's, in some as
poets, personal controversy. tits sirug-
gle between the CAss men and the VAN
buren, men-and that is the whole of it.
The menace of SILAs WRIGHT to Mr..
RICHIE in 1S44-that he should rue the
overthrow of Mr.. VAN buren, to the last
day of his liie--is the key to the whole
history. For years the Albany regency
which governed the northern Democra-
cy-had succumbed to the elite of the dis
tingulshed Democrats of Richmond. They
had been Tor years ridiculed and abused
for their shameless subserviency to that
narrow minded, mercenary, and corrupt
junto of politicians. They submitted for
the sake Of the spoils. They sacrificed the
interests Of New York as long as they
could make any thing by the sacrifice.
They submitted in 1874 to the nomination
of Mr.. Polk, because they could not at
that moment rebel with safety. The ven
ON was working till lS4S, when it accom-
plished its end. The union between the
houses of Albany and Richmond was then
dissolved forever. The nominal cause of
the quarrel was the Wnmot proviso. 1t
would have occurred if the Wilmot pro-
viso had never been invented. VIRGINIA
had given the law to New YORK. New
York groaned under the yoke, and was
resolved to give the law to VIRGINIA, or
dissolve the Democratic party.
Whatever may be the result of this con-
troversy, and whenever this breach may
be healed, one thing is certain; the cor
rupt Richmond etiquette arrogant junto
of politicians who have proclaimed them
selves the elite Of the Democracy-have
lost their political ascendency forever. 1t
is not in the present generation that the
men can regain power who are identified
with the STEvENsoNs, the DENBYs, the
MAsoNs, and the RICHES. In their
downfall, and springing from their political
ashes, we shall see better and more ge-
NAL state of public feeling. There will be
less asperity Of political intercourse; there
will be less inclination, in all parties, to
extreme measures. United in the honest
effort to ascertain the true WILL OF THE
PEOPLE, and to make that, under the Con-
stitution, the chart of public POLICEMEN
Of all parties will confess that it is bet
ter guide than the arrogant dictation of the
Richmond elite or the Albany regency. A
new organization will grow up-a Wing
organization substantally-a popular or
ganization, at all events-under the lead
of the man who never lost battle; and
his administration will be firmly planted
and perpetuated, not by the democracy of
cliques and juntos, but by the invincible
DEMOCRACY OF NUMBERS.
