What were the results They were the
most momentous and most important in
the whole history Of the United States as
n nation. The annexation alternative
which was adopted gave US the war with
Mexico. and that war not only gave us
Texas 10 the Rio Grande, but all that vast
region now comprised in the territories
IF New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and
Utah. with the states Of Nevada and Cali
forna and these, in turn, have given us
the boundless wealth Of all their gold and
silver mines, the Pacific railroad and in
cidentally, with some great burdcns-dsas-
,rous curses-they brought about the
abolition Of slavery and other benefits,
some Of which are yet to be realized.
Yet greater results are promised in ref
ereuce to this Mexican question-in ref
erence to that country with all its meal
culable mineral and agricultural resources
brought under American rule and sub
jec,ed to American energies. There is
now no great political question or grand
idea before the country. Most Of the l.
sues Of the war AMI of reconstruction are
settled, and upon the money question: in all
It's phases, the politicians arc adrift Per-
sonal grievances and personal cliques are
cropping out everywhere, while party
landmarks and party principles are be-
coming dim and confused in the absence of
any great issue or grand idea. Under
these conditions there is no telling how
or where party lines will be drawn
next fall. They may be controlled more
or less by local issues in congressi onal dis
tricts or by disputes and differences within
the party now in power. But let t his
question be brought before the people,
through the action of congress, and all the
minor subjects of the day will be swept of
BY the general uprising Of the nation in its
etfor, to accomplish what is truly its IMAM
ifest destiny"
No better opportunity can ever be Off

tion and hand himself grandly down
to history's keeping, than by forcing this
issue of the annexation Of MeXico-thC

alike due to our own honor and to all the

sions were burnt up in Chicago fire, and
then he came back to New York, and put
up at the Astor house, with cent in his
pocket Remorse seized him (it must have
been remorse), and ascertaining the adj
dress of hi. lawful partner, he thus wrote
her
II am here and penniless. Forgive the
past and come to my arms again
This is what she wrote back

again, and carried him off Finis.-N. \.

Hobbs, Brockunier & Cos South
Wheeling glass works settled on Fri
day afternoon some eight or ten feet
without doing injury to any one. The
furnace had been token out for the pur'
pose of building ew piers or arches,
the old ones having been found to be
worn out and dangerous. Seven new
piers had been put in, when the tall
stack, containing about a million
bricks, settled down, crushing out the
piers, and resting itself on the founda::
ton. Strange to cay, not brick was
displaced from its top. 1t quietly
settled down as if determined not to
stay 90 far up in the air any longer.

of Friday, as Edward Galligan was on
his way to the Grant House, where he
boards, he was accosted on Monroe

him ot being one Of the editors of the
CREASED Lightning. Almost with the
accusation the assailant made sts.b at
Galligan, who, in vardiug off the tjlow
received fearful cut in the hand. His
wound was dressed by DR.. Allen. The
accusation made against Mr.. G-alligar
that he had any connection with th'
offensive sheet mentioned his alwayl
been denied by him. The attack, though
a cowardly one, shows what those en-.
gagged on that sheet have a right to ex
