and completely organized many of the ress-

have been deceived in the prospect Of CO.

find that submission is their only alternative,

aad fifty thousand dollars in specie. Among the pas
sengers are Sen'r Hartford Bridges and lady, and DR..

eminent by Lord Palmerston, relative TO an expedition
alledged to have been fitted out in the United States

The communication was answered by MIR. Crttenden,
Acting Secretary of State in a paper marked Tor its dig
nifty and high American tone, intimating, In very plain
terms, that England had better attend to the admins
uation of her own affairs. This reply will probably tend
to prevent all further European interference, or will at
least warn foreign powers what may be expected if Ihey
undertake TO interfere or lntermeddle in the concerns Of
this Government.
This document reflects the highest credit upon its dis
tinguished author, Mr.. CriItenden, as well as upon the
administration which sanctioned il.

Travel West.

The New York lines Of railroad have heretofore mo-
nopolized the travel between the seaboard and the west,
but, for the coming winter, the Pennsylvania works will
bear of this prize. Passengers can now 90 by railroad
from Philadelphia to Johnstown, west of the mountains.
From Pittsburg, the Ohio and Pennsylvania will soon be
extended, so as to connect with the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh railroad, thas opening a continuous line of railroad
between the latter city and Cincinnati. There WILSON
be only a small gap OF unfinished line OF railroad between
Philadelphia and Cincinnati.
The Hudson River and the Erie railroads give us rail-
road connections with Lake Erie, but the road between
Buffalo and Cleveland cannot be brought into use the
coming winter, and the distance to be traversed by stage
will be too great not to give for the preset a decided ad-
vantage to the Pennsylvania route. BY another winter
the entire Lake Shore railroad, from Buffalo to Cleve-
land, will be completed. This will give us a convenient
route west over our lines.-R. Road Journal.

Life on the Border.
by o MoNreoMERx.

EAGLE Pass, (Texas,) Oct. 1, 1851
Our whole border is in the stir Of revolution, soldiers
and citizens, robbers and Indians are all on foot and no
man knoweth whittier it tends. Whether the leaders
distinctly know themselves is d doubtful, but the desire TO
escape from the charge of supporting a government that
exacts every thing and does nothing is universal in the
Northern States Of Mexico. An Independent republic
this side of the Sierra Madre is a necessity of self pres
ervation with those States. The central power weighs
upon il like a mountain of iron and parylizes effort, hope,
energy, every thing and nobody here holds to the existing
authority. All want to tear away from 1t, and it will
soon be done. 1t is but a question of a few months more
or less. The new State now uprising this side Of the
mountains sill offer US bountiful commercial advantages
and the right of way from the Bravo, by the best over
land route to California as the price of recognition. A
boon which we never have refused to any of the Span
ish American States, and cannot refuse this one by the
spirit OF our Institutions. Two parties will divide the
councils of this rising star. One will desire annexation
and this party will include the majority Of the educated
class-excepting only the large land and peon holders
and a considerable portion Of the priesthood The mer-
chants, professional men, artisans and smaller property
holders will be almost unanimous, and ia three or four
years they will wake up the working class to act with
them, in duplicating admission into the Union. At first
the other party will rule from old habits and while they
do, they will offer every thing else to win close amity
with US, but they will not consent to annexation. 1t is
as well for a time, but we shall com at last to our man.
ifest destiny. Mexico is a seething cauldron, and she
will never return to the old State.

Plain Talk.

DIR. Foote, the Editor Of the Albany Register, New
York, the especial friend of President Fillmore, holds
some very plain talk with his wing brethren on the re.
suit of the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The
following interesting extracts we publish for the benefit
Of our neighbor DeGrees:
This, translated from the Tribunifian dialect into
English, means that the voters Of PENNSYLVANIA, by a
large majority, have decided in favor of sustaining the
Constitution and the laws. Col. B;gler, the democrat
ic candidate for Governor, ayowed himself a supporter
OF the compromise measures of the last Congress. Gov
ernor Johnston did not. On the contrary he took ground
against the compromise, and did not recognize il as a f.
nal settlement, IN principle and substance, of the ques-
tons to which 1t related. The issue so made up was
fairly presented TO the people. Neither of the two can
didates disguised his sentiments.
Ohio has done no better. Indeed, according to the
Tribune, she has done worse. That paper says:
"0hio is naturally a Wing State, which Pennsylvania
IS not. Mr.. VintOn is a most capable, worthy, widely
known Statesman, of thoroughly conservative character
and profoundly ayerse TO agitation generally. Yet he
appears TO be beaten far worse in his whig State than
Gov. ]. is in his loeofoco State"
How has Mr.. vinton been beaten 2 And how has a
State, naturally whlg, been delivered over to Locofoco-
isml In no State or district of the Union is the Tribune
read with more favor than in the counties composing the
Western Reserve, oil Ohio, the chosen seat Of Free
Soilism. The Reserve Was once to Ohio what the old
Eighth District was to this State, the glory and the
strength of Whiggery. Year after year its majorities
were rolled up by thousands, and all the assaults. arts
and appliances Of modern Democracy failed to weaken
its incorruptible Wing faith.
The t~reachery of pretended, trusted and honored
friends, accomplished what open enemies could not.
The Tribune, that was universally read, believed and
quoted, and Giddings. Root and their associates, under
Pretence that the Wing party and principles were not
good and pure enough for their virtuous, tender con.
sciences, opened the door for locoloeos to enter the cita-
and by consequence, in a 90 naturally Wing State. -
8 a most capable, worthy, widely-known statesman Of
thoroughly conservative character, and profoundly
averse to agitation generally, is beaten far worse than
Gov. Johnston, IN a locoioco State" Can we shut our
eyes to the lesson Taught by results like these? Do
they not demonstrate as clearly as the noon day sun.
that the people viii not support the continuance OF anti.
slavery agitation, and that while no practical good can
he effected by such agitation, it is certain, as we have
IN Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania and Ohio, to work
mischief to the wings politically"
