the in'famo$ conduct in this respect of certainclerical &ni editorial persona ges we cannotbut violently suspect they vrant nothing butthe power to serve the enemy in ft ny way thatwouM not put their lives in jeopardy!"

This is what the lending; Whig journal in

the United States then said in re'ation to giv-

ing " aid and comfort" to the enemy duringour stmsgle with England ; and, in the lan-

guage of the National Intelligencer of that ofday, is it not well calculated to " disheartenthe patriotic armies of our country," to pro-chvmlot- he

world thai we are engaged in awar of aggression and conquest ? We have Itseen a settled purpose evinced by the domi-sn- nt

party in this Legislature, to discolor andpervert facts, " to the injury of the country'scarse,r' for the unholy purpose of appeasingthe sor.iid devices of party spirit. Sir, thecourse of the Whig party here in relation toJie war, is without precedent in the annals ofNorth Carolina legislation ; and, in my hum-b'- e

opinion, they will stand wholly unjusti-fiable before their constituents and the coun-

try. .:The President has made a requisition on

our Slate for a Regiment of Volunteers for theMexican war ; the citizen soldiers of the StateaicTioyv summoned by the constituted authori-ties of the land to raiiy around the banner oftheir country in this her hour of need, Buthow are the Whigs responding to this callupon the patriotism of the State ? They areanswering the call for volunteers to defend thecountry by denouncing the war as unjust andunconstitutional, thereby discouraging thecause of the country, and throwing a damperuiion the zeal and ardor of the people of aState which was first to hoist the flag of in-

dependence, and foremost in throwing off theshackles of tyranny and oppression which,bound her at the footstool of British power.In speaking of the noble stand taken by thisState in the cause of freedom, Mr. Jeffersontruly said : " No State was more fixed or for-

ward in the cause of liberty and independence."1 trust that the fire of patriotism still plows aswarmly in the hearts of her sons as that whichanimated our illustrious ancestors in theirStruggle for independence. I indulge the hopethat she will yet exhibit the same unyieldingfirmness the same inflexible integrity andfi lelity, which was so eminently displayed onher soil more than seventy years ago. Let it

never be said of our State that her sans havedegenerated in the road to distinction by lag-

ging behind our neighbors. Letusall be trueto our country and her cause, and we shallthe more easily triumph over every obstacle,and escape the reproach of our adversaries.Let nothing deter us from pursuing the pathof duty, but animated by the gallant spiritdisp'ayed by England at the bloo ly battle ofTrafalgar, let us manifest the same energy andperseverance in behalf of liberty and justice.The memorable signal of the battle of Trafal-gar was " Eng'and expects every man to dohis duty !"' At a time like the present let thewatch-wor- d and signal with us be : " Ourcountry expects every man to do his duty !"

For in every age and country, even amojig themost uncivilized of mankind, the love of coun-

try and the love of glory, the spirit of patri-

otism and of heroism, have never failed to ex-

cite admirnt'on, to call forth applause, and tobe crowned by those grateful rewards whichare ever dear to the brave, the virtuous, andthe wise. And whilst the skill and prowessdisplayel by our biave officers and soldiers inthe gallant achievements of Palto A!to,Resacade la Palma, and Monterey, have stamped anin le'ible record of American valor on thebrightest pages of our national existence, it isan animating and cheering reflection that thewar in which our country is now encaged willpowerfu'ly contribute in arousing the patriot-ism an 1 valor of every sincere lover of hiscountry, and will furnish alditional evidenceof that ardent devotion to the interests of ourglorious Union, which it has ever been thepri le and glory of her sons to maintain. How-

ever deeply a resort to aims may be regretted,the present contest with Mexico was forcedon this country, and it is with no ordinarysensations that I express one consolation de-

rived from the reflect'on that the war nowwaged will more c'osely unite and bind togeth-er the bonds of our confederacy, and impartstill greater confidence in the efficacy and sta-bility of our political institutions. My confi-dence is already increased that our countrywill arise from the contest with renovated

ostrength and increased glory.But how are the Whigs demean'ng them-

selves towards their country at the very timewhen she is at arms to her foes ? They havebeen spending day after day, in endeavoringto passu law, taking the appointment of FieldOfficers of the Regiment of Volunteers callefor fro:n this State from the rank and fi'e, forthe purpose of bestowing the appointment ofthe officers on some of their favorite Whigpiutizans, but who have never volunteered inthe service of their country. This is the firstLegislature in North Carolina, that I have ev-er heard the most important interests of theState were settled in caucus by the dominantparty. Even before the required Regimentfro n this State can be made up, it has beendetermine I in caucus that the brave volunteerss'lall not be allowed the privilege of electingtheir own officers, and that the Democraticparty in the Legislature may be deprived ofall voice in choosing the officers of the Regi-ment, it has been determined by the party inthe ascendant, that even the Legislature shallnot elect these officers, for fear that some ofthe distinguished Democrats who have a'readyVo'unteered, might have some chance of beingpromote!. It has finally been decreed in cau-ct- s

that the volunteers shall not have the lib-

erty of choosing officers to comman 1 themthai the Legislature shall not elect them, andtheVe' is no other alternative left but for" theGovernor to appoint the officers, if the Regi-ment is male up. i cannot but view thiscourse as being wrong in principle because itis treating the volunteers with great injusticeto refuse to grant them the privilege of selec-ting their own Field Officers, and because near-ly all of those who have yet volunteered arefrom Democratic .Counties, and it is easy to bediscovered from the conduct of the Whig lead-er in relation to the war, that if the regimentfrom this State is male up, it will be chieflyby the Democratic part v. Lo,k, sir, at thegallantry and valor displayed nv the nobleCounty of E Igecombe ! with her two Compa-nies in the field. That distinguished veteranin the service of his country, Gen' I Wilson,has promptly left his seat in the other end "ofthis Capitol, a station which he has long title I

as " unholy, unrighteous and damnable."voting in elections they can give large whig

na orities, but when ihe country is t defendfrom danger they areamongthe missing. Andhere I will take occasion to remark, that Gov.Graham in his message to the present GeneralAssembly, so far overleaped the rounds ofpropriety and justice as to promulgate the odi-ett- .s

and detestible doctrine, that our countryhas been involved in a war that is unjust andunconstitut onal. I regret that the Governor

North Carolina should hae been so farprompted by party motives as to deliberate'ymake assertions which is an outrage upon theintelligence and understanding of the people.

is a slander sir, upon the inate prtriotismand valor of the American people, to assrrtthat they would rashly and imprudently rushinto an unjust and unconstitutional war with-out authority of law. It isa s'ander upon thememories of the distinguished officers and sol-

diers who have fallen ;n the defence of theircountry's rigUs. It was unworthy the digni-

ty which should characterize the chief execu-tive of the State to defame the bravery and he-

roism of the honored and distinguished dead,by denouncing the war as being un just andtint, institutional. It is a shameful slander on

the character and memory of the intrepid Cross,the heroic Ringgold, the chivalrous Watson,and a host of other brave and noble spiritswho fell as martyrs in their country's cause :

to assert they were prosecuting an unjust andaggressive war. They were firstlings of fieldsof ?lorv the rich tribute exacted bv Fame ofthose who worship at her shrine. They wereof the sacrifice that f o lsecrate 1 the shock ofarms: their spirits have tied to the God of battles! Thev have gone hence tn bear witnessin behalf of liberty, pioneers who have trodthe way that leads to immortalitv. 1 he na,of the gallant dead w ill continue to live inaffections of their countrymen. Their grateful country will ircely give

" Ttie tribute of her just applause ,

To thoi' who die in su h a cause !"It is an undeniable fact that whilst the pro-

minent whigs are proclaiming their hostilityto the war, they do not think proper to admitthat the Congress ot the United States extended our laws over the J erntorv ot J exas tothe Rio Grande. This forcible and indisputable proposition they take special care to avoidas beinsr " too y eak to carrv them, or tooheavy to be carried bv them " The Unite.States has exercised jurisdiction overthe wholecountry to the Del Norte, by establishingcongressional district for electing a member tothe Congress of the United States, and by theestablishment of a port of entry, and extendingour revenue laws for the collection of the tar-iff duties to the Rio Grande., It cannot be de-

nied that every administration and all the distinguished men of both political parties haveinvar ably avowed the R o Grande to be thewestern boundary of Texas, an I that boi.ndary has been universally recognize ! by all theprincipal statesmen of this country, of Eng'and and of Mexico. Texas had declared theDel Norte to be the true I oundary in her organic law of 1836, and that was acknowledgedby the President of Mexico in solemn treatywith the Republic of Texas as her rigbtfuhounttary. It has been said that Mexico c am- -

el Texas f-- did Spain claim Mexico, forMexico revolted from Sj a n in 1821, and hiindependence was not recognized bv the mother country until December, 3836. J exas never did belong to Mexico under any circumstances whatever. In the treaty annexing Texto the United States, it issaid ' the republic otTexas cedes to the United States all its territories," and surely after Texas had become a

lar' of the territory and government of the UStates, the President was bound by the dutiesof his office to have the laws passed by Con-gress' faithfully executed The President wasbound by the Constitution and laws of h;scountrf to order any and all invasions of ourterritory to l e promptly repelled by force.

w ar was declared hv r ranee against hngland in 1778, because the English, suspectingthat the French gave assistance to the Ameri-cans, attacked a French vessel. Here onesingle act of hostility determined France to goto war with England. France did not wait'or the consent of her legislative chambers,when she sent her Admiral Baudin, accom-panied by her Prince de Joinville to attackMexico in 1839. She bombarded the fortifi-cat'on- s.

trok possession of the catV of San.liian d U!oa, and informe I her Chambers of it

afterwarls This brought Mexico to termsIn 18'29, France also attacked Algiers, undermere Kingly and Cabinet counsels, and for no-

thing but an insult upon her Consul.But in the free republican government of

the United States, the President is traducedand vilified for attending to the strict executionof the laws passed by the representatives ofthe people, if war should ensue from the set-tlement of any international question. Theperfidious and infuriate 1 government of Mex-ico, has presented to the world one continuedsuccession of disorder and revo'ution for thelat quarter of a century. The Mexican gov-enrme- nt

has invariably shown itself utterlyof the solemn fa:th of treaties, for

there has scarcely been any treaty or compactwhich that that government ever entered into,that has not either been broken, violated orrepu liate 1 by them afterwards To show thedistracted spirit of confusion an 1 disorderwhich has character's? 1 that government, ev-er since it revo'tel from Spain, I beg leave torefer to some of the revolutions by which eachimperial ruler has succeeded to the head ofthe government, by usurping all rightful andconstitutional authority.

In 1824, sixteen free and sovereign Statesof Mexico confederated themselves in a unionlike that of the United States, by the consti-tution which they adopted in that vear. Legislutive power was lolged in a Senate andHouse of Representatives similar to our own.Two Senators to be chosen from each State,and to be thirty years of age. The membersof the House of Representatives to be electe !

for the term of two years from congressionaldirtricts arranged for that purpose, and to betwenty -- live years of age.

It was also provided by the constitution of1824, that the State Legislatures shoul I electa President once in every four years ; they ha 1

a Vice President with funct ons like ours, anda Judiciary of the same kind.

The first Congress assemble 1 at the citv ofMexico on the 1st of January, 1825. Gen.Gauda'oupe Victoria was chosen President.r u v:i.i i) -- i i . ,vjci'. iiiimiifts ui.nu, ill riesnient, wnosea ministration was at first wise an d prosper-ous, and there wa reason to antic pate thehappitst results. In November of that year,Spain evacuate! the castle of San Juan dTloa,an 1 President Victoria announce! that afterthe lapse ot three hundred years the flag of

4 Castile had disappeared from North America.anl that of the republic wave! on the laststronghold of European power. Titles of no-bility an 1 slavery were abolished. But beforeVictoria's a Iministrat on close I, Vice PresidentBravo denounce 1 it in December, 2827, as toolemocratic, and openly rebelled in arfnsa-gams- t

it. Bravo's insurrection was overcome,an 1 with several a Iherents, he was .banishedby a decree of ..the Congress dated the lothApril, P828. These feu Is were the beginningof the factions an 1 revolutions which haveever since distracted Mexico. Ihe Americanminister, Mr. Poinsett, was accused of takingpart in their or gin, by favoring what wascalCl.the Yorkinos or democratic party, andafter i popular outbreak threatened his life,he wa at last oblige 1 to leave Mexico.

There is another branch of this subject towhich I wish to advert for a few momentsThe crimes perpetrated and the crueH es el

on American citizens for more thantwenty years past, it is scarcity possible forthe imagination to conceive. They have beenconfine 1 in chains in loathsome dungeons:they have been made to endure the most

corpoa' punishment: every species ofinhuman and iniquitous punishment have been

6repeatedly inflicted on our own citizens, with-

out charge and without trial. The many-spoliatio-c

John Forsyth,Secretary of State to the President, which waspublished wilh the annual message of thatyear. It would be useless for me at this timeto even attempt to depict the heinous crmesand outrages comm-tte- l on American citizensby the Mexican authorities. I have no lan-

guage to pouvtray the daring atrocities con-

stituting the most shameful catalogue of Mexican wrong-doini- r, violence, and insu t, consisting of ninetth five cases, for which the people and Government of the United Statesc'aimed indemnity before Mexico commencedhostilities.

1 wiil here make a single remark in relationto the expenses of the war. The reckless andunfounded statement of Mr Webster has beennronaaated without the shadow of uroof tosustain it. By reterence to the messsge ot thePresident to the present session of Congress,and the report of the Secretary of the Treasu-ry, it will be seen that the first seven monthsof the war with all the brilliant achievementsand unexamp'ed conquests of the whole Uni-

ted States forces, have added less than s;x mil-

lions and a halt to our public debt ; and evenupon the supposition that the war should con-

tinue till the 1st of July, 1848, the Adminis-tration asksat the very most an additional loanof only twenty-thre- e millions of dollars.There is a vast difference between the officialstatement of the President and secretary show-ing the expenses of the. war to be less thansix and a half millions of dollars for the firstsix months of its continuance, and the broadassertions of Mr. Webster that the war costthe country "half a million a day?' Thisunfounded allegation of Mr Webster is inperfect character with w hat I have shown hisconduct to be duringthe war late with Eng'and.ft isiot the time to count the cost when ourcountry's cause is just, and she involved inwar. I am in favor of a vigorous prosecutionof the war both by land and by sea, in orderthat it may be brought to a speedy and suc-cessful termination. Our country is now in ablooly and disastrous war, and may an over-ruling Providence so guide and direct our ar-

mies as to conduct them safely anl trium-phantly through every conflict to victory ando glory. There is no fact more true in HolyWrit than this

" If juelirp pin c upou ns. we M.'irul cladIn panoply of 11 nth. But if !icr voiceHe r;i irei Hgainsl ns.lln'ti wilh quailing spiritAnd paleii-- d ;irm we face t lie foe."The prevailing spirit of patrotism which is

now so rapidly progressing throughout ourborders in favor of a vigorous prosecution ofof the war is the best and the surest pledgethat the cause in which we are now en-

gaged will carry us triumphantly to the brightlestiny which awaits us. The President ofthe States may not entirely escape the rapidspirit of faction in the noble stand h has ta-

ken in favor of the war, yet.

OcJ-Ge- n. Scott has issued the followingproclamation to the Mexican people, underlate of the 11th of April, 1847:

Mexicans ! At the head of a powerful ar-

my, soon to be doubled a part of wh ch if

now advancing on your cap ta! and withanother army under Maj.Gen. Taylcu in marchfrom Saltiilo towarls San Luis Pottwi I thinkmyself called upon to address you.

Mexicans ! Americans are not your ene-mies; hut the enemies for a time, of the men,

"oO,a year ao, misgoverned you and bi oughtabout this unnatural war between two greatRepublics. We are the friends of the peace-ful inhabitants of the country we occupy, andthe friends of your ho'y religion, its hierarchyand its priesthood. The same church is foun !

in all parts of our own country, crowded withdevout Catholics, and rspected by our Gov-ernment, laws and peopie.

For the church of Mexico, the flnoflenlinginhabitants of the country and their propertyI have from the first done everything in mypower to p'ace them under the safeguard ofmartial law against the few bad men in thisarmy.

My orders, to that effect, known to all, areprec se and rigorous. Under them several

have a ready been punishe I, by tine,for the benefit of Mexicans, besides imprison-ment; and one, lor a rape, has been hung bythe neck.

Is this not a proof of good faith and ener-getic discipline ? Other proofs shall be givenas often as injuries to Mexicans may tie de-

tected.On the other hand, injuries committelby

individual, or parties of Mexico, not belong-ing to the public forces, upon in hvi iua s,small parties, trains of wa.ro is and teams, orof p;ack mules, or on any other person or pro-peit- y

belonging to this army, contrary to thelaws of war, shall be punished with rigoror if the particular offender be not deliveredup by Mexican authorities, the punishmentshall fa 1 upon entire cities, towns or fleigh-borho- o

is.Let, then, all cool Mexicans remain at

home, or at their peaceful occupations; butdiey are invited to bring in, for sale, horses,mules, beef, cattie, corn, bar'ey, wheat, flourfor breal, and vegetables, dsn wiil be paidfor every thing this army may take or pur-chase, and protection will be given to all sel-

lers. The Americans are strong enough to of-

fer these assurances, which, should Mexicanswisely accept, this war may soon be happilyen le I, to the honor an I a vantage of both bel-ligerents. Then the Anrurieans, having con-vene 1 .enemies into frien Is, will be happy totake leave of Mexico, and return to their owncoJhUy. WtN FIELD SCO IT.

Camp at Plan Del Rio,April 19, 1847 Forenoon.

The route of the Mexicans last eveningwas total complete. They were pursuedwithin four miles of Ja'apa by Gen. Twiggs,a which point there were none to toilow.Santa Anna himself, instead of entombinghimself as he threatened, escaped by cuttingthe saddle mule of his team fiom the harnessof his magn ffcent evach, mounting him, andthen taking to the chapparal. His s?rviceof massive silver, nearly a.l his papers, hismoney every th ng in his carr age, even hisdinner, was captured. I have a cap:tal storyto tel! a'.out this dinner when I have a mo-

ment to spare.The Mexican loss upon the heights was

Lveu up to this t me it is impossible to giveanything like a fu'l or correct list of ourwoun e i olncers it is surpr sing that manyof them were not killed. L'eut. Derby, agallant young officer of the topographical en-

Review of the British Corn Trade duringthe pat week, The weather has throughoutthe week been very cold and ungenial, and onseveral occasions sharp night fiosts have beenexperience!; vegetation has, consequently,been kept back, and from present appearancesthere is not much prospect of an early season.We do not, however, regard this as an evil, apremature luxuriance being generally atten ledwith danger. It is, of course, at present im-

possible to ascertain whether the young wheathas been injurious' affected by the low rangeoi' temperature ; I ut from the hardy characterof the p ant, we feel little apprehension onthat hand, an the only circumstance that canbe viewel as unfavorable isthe ptohanility ofthe next harvest being la e, which might, inthe aosition of the country in regard to stocks,prove very inconvenient. The sowing ofspring corn, having received but little inter-ruption, nearly the who e of the month ofMarch having been highly auspicious for he d

work, most of the bar'ey an 1 oats have beengot in, and great progresshas likewise beenmale with bean an pea planting. These im-

portant labors having been nearly brought 1 1

a close, farmers have aj;ain directed the r at-

tention to thrashing ; and it is probable thatan increase will shortly take place in ihe de-

liveries of grain from ihe growers. The timeh is now arrived for testing whether the storksof wheat in thehanlsof the producers bcrea'-l- v

short, for there can be no question that ifthey are holders to any great extent they willavail themselves ot the very first opportunityof turning their wheat !n:o cash. The induce-

ments to realize are the still high value of thearticle, anl the state of uncertainty felt as tothe future ; if, therefore, the markets in theagricultural districts be not plentifully sup-

plied during the month, we hall no longerentertain a doubt on the question of stocks,but look upon it as the strongest possible evi-

dence that the quantity remaining in the coun-try is actually as small as represented. There u'ar course of the trale has been more orless interrupted this week in consequence ofseveral of the markets having been held oftthe accustomed day, (owing to Goo! Fri lay.)and the amount of business done has not beenimportant. The value of wheat has, as m'ghthave been expecte I, felt the effect of the recentfad at Mark Lane, anl prices have ten le 1

downwards in all parts of the king lorn. AtLiverpool further arrivals of flour and Indiancorn have come to han 1 from America, butthe receipts of foreign wheat have not beenlarge either there or elsewhere ; whilst thedemand for export, though on a somewhat de-

creased scale, has nevertheless continue 1.

Mark Lane Express, April 5.Emigration. Upwards of 6,000 German

emigrants have within the last fortnight, pas-se I through Cologne, onthe.r way to Bremen,Havre an I Antwerp, where they will taketheir departure for America. The greater partof them seeme 1 to be rather well off. Thetown of Menlen was lately so full of emi-
