An European cor respondcnt of thc Gcnnesce I'anner statcs that al thongh the farmers in England havc to pay largc rents, he thinks tlieir nctt profits arc greater than those of Amcrican farmers, who oint the lands they occupy. Hc thinks the principal rcason is, that thcre isa good home markct for nearly all kinds of agricultural productions; and that thc samc advantagcs can bc rcapcd in Amcrica only by an cxtcnsivc cncouragcment of manufacturcs and that a distant forcign markct for grain, with hcavy drawhacks for frcight, cannot bc dcpcndcd on and mach less so for the sniallcr and lcss sub Btantial products.

But it has bccn fully asccrtaincd bv the nartT sustaing the Exccutive, that it is citherno longcr practicablc or Uesirablc to disguise the true intent and purpose of all tliis procceding.

'Whcn thc o)porlunity of apcaccable purchasc jircscnts, it then bccomcs a mcrc ipicstion of cxpediency. AYhen, from an ad miration of our charactcr and institutions. and an honest dcsirc to participate in their bhss ings, a ncigliboringcouuiry, of its own aciord, shoiild solicit a union with our national fainily, it inight present a strong claim on our magnii nimity to admit it. My present purjiose is to statc my objection to "extcnsion of our coun try by lbrce of arms, by conquest. My firat objection is, that it is a gross viola tion of the fundaincntal principle of our Gov ernment. "Wehave dcclarcd to the. worid that evervpeople havc a right to tlie govern mcnt of tiieir own choice, and we liaie crccted our Govcrnment on that principle. Whcn wc proceed by forcc to take any inhabitcd coun try, and liold it in possession, wc compel those people tosubmitto a govcrnment which is not of thcir choice; and we takc into our countrv and Govcrnment a people unacquaintcd witli and unfriendly to our institutions, and show to the world that our condnct is utterby inconsis tant with our professions. iIy ncxt objection is, that, by conqucring Mexico, or taking entiro possession of thc country, and divcrting the revenuc from, and destroying, the Governmcnt, we shall bc com pelled, for avery long time, to sustain that pos session by alargc standinjr army, atgreat cost: that such a school of service will prcpare thc mcn who havc so long excrciscd military rule over that people to bc, like thc Koman lcgions ortbeTurkish Janizarics fitand dangerous instruments to sct up military powcr at home. Any Governmcnt sct up in Mexico, underthe protcction of our army, will of course fall, whenever tlie army is rcmovcd. My next objection to procecding in this ca reer of eonquering Mexico is, that tho cfTort has alrcady incurrcd a dcbt of sixty millions, which will cxcced a linndreh millions in a year and go on accumulatingtnnd this debt is a licn and mortgage on this country. and on evcry farm, and'on thcindustn and fruitsof indus-trj-, of evcn- man in this country, which, though now" deferrcd, must be felt and cn dured for a succession of pcnerations. My next objection to thc conquest of Mex ico is this: Ifwe conquer .Mexico, we arc, by thc law of nations, bound to pay the debts of Mexico. Kothing is more clear than the law of nations on that point I refer you to onc of thc most common and approvcd" writcrs on that subject, Vattcl, (book 2, sec. 203.) Aftcr treatiDg much on thc subiect he savsi "For a i saya conqucror to rcfusc to pay the debts ofthe country he has subdued, would bc roUbing the creauors witn wnorn ne lsnot at war. Thc debts of Mexico are of very great a mount, chieflv due to the pconle of Ensland, Thesc debts arc thcproperty of crcditors who are not iMexicans, anu we have no more pow' cr or right to takc or destroy such nronertv. than wc have to takc other propcrtj- of a peo ple with whom we arc at peace. low sir I do not say "what lawlessncss und rcpudiation may bccomc in this country, but this I do know. that if we arc to prcscrve any respec for our national charactcr, and the opinion of man kind, and to hold a position with civilizcd na tions, just sosure as we conquer Mexico, just so surc we shall have tho uncountcd millions of her pubhcdebt to pav. 2Cor am I sure that evcn' taking thc disgraceful position of rermdi- ahon would prcvcnt it hen Frcdenck thc Great ofl'russia conquercd the Kingdom of bilesia. thc ucbts wlucU bilcsia owed to Eng- lishmcn wcrc demaudcd of him by the Ivinu ofEngland, and, after some shuffiing and much ncgociation, he was constrained to pay thcm. My next objection is, that wc havc dcclar cd to the world that man is competcnt to self govcrnmcnt, and wc are now, in this country, prescnting to the world a successful expcn mcnt, ofthe principle. 2ow by thc conquest of Alexico, we show, the world that, in Mexi co, it is shown man is not competcnt to sclf govcrnmcnt, or evcn sufficient toprescrvc themselves from forcicrn conquest. That evcn in this country wc cannot control our spirit of aggrcssion anu aggranuizcmcnt, out procccu to "swallow" or "absorb" a ncighboring rc public, wcaker than ourselvcs, not competcnt to s.olf-protcction, and so ignorapt and dcgra dcd as to be incapable of intenial free govern mcnt, but yct desirable citizcns of our i'rce re public. Ourconduct and our professcd prin ciples will, in this way, soon bccomc a' laugh ing stock, a by- woixh, and a reproach in thc world. Thc propagation of rcpublicanism by the sword is as gross an inconsistencv as thc propagation of roligion in that way. Xcither can exist but as matter of choice and opinion ot tnc pcopie, witn wnom it prcvails. Much is said of destroying the nationality of Alftxirn. sir. to niv nimil Ihr tifiifin.Y ilnvifn to this country, with its mixcd popuiation of scvcn or cight millions, ot bpanish, Indian and negro admixture, is to tlestroy our own nation alit'j.

A trcaty of pcaec is thc rcsult of war. It is thc product, the creaturc, the child of thc war md must cver bc considercu as madc bv thc prcssure of thc wan thercforc, whatcvcr terri- ton- is ceded in a trcaty of peace, and espcciat Iy if it bcterritory of which military jiossession was taken and held during the war, is and must be cver rcgardcd as acquisition by con fjucst. It is altogcther vain and idle to attcmpt to disguise the true charactcr of tho transac tion by callling it purclase, or giving to it that fonn. The salc is cocrcal and let m not at tcmpt to debauch our moral scnsc by forcing our cpemy, whcn prostratcd, to enter, while in that condition, into a matter of buaiucss and barrjainlng, as thc condition to peace. I will now proceed to inquire into some of thc objcctions which havc bccn made to put ting an cnd to this wrctched war. The first is, that we cannot make peace. That I re gard as uttcrlyunfounded and untruc. Thcrc fs not a man of ordinary intclligcnce in Amc rica who can, for one momcnt, bclieve bnt that a peace may be made with Mexico on any day if we will but abandon the project of eonquer ing dismcmbering that country. From thc vcry tcnns oITercd by thc Mcxican commis sioners toMr. Trist.asstatcdinthcPresidcnt's message, this is perfectly ccrtain. liut it is said peace should not bc madc un til we rcceive, in thc trcaty. indcmnity, not on ly for debts due by Mexico to our citizcns ,bnt for the cxpenscs of this-war. That Mexico should pay what is due by hcr to our citizcns, is uudoubtedly true, and no trcaty should bc made without provisions tlierefor, bccausc,rf a trcaty wcrc made without such provisions they wonld bc discharged. But that indemnily can bc obtained by land, for the cxpenscs ofthis waris an cntire delusion. "What is undcrstood by this pcopie as indtmnity! Undoubtedly it is understood that land is to bo had, by the salcs of wliich nioncy is to be obtained, to re place in the Treasury, thc millions wc are cx pending in this war. It will bc remcmbercd that Mr. Trist informcd thc Mcxican commis sioncrs that, cven if the busincssand boundary of Texas werc ndjustcd, his instructions from the l'residcnt werc such that no pcaco could lic madc without the wholc of California and Xew Mexico wcrc ccded to us, and that we would, thcrcupon, make conipcnsation tlierefor in money, what it is worth bcyond our claim for thc Mcxican debts to our citizcns, and our gi ving up all claim for the expen;cs of thc war. From this it is ccrtain, that indcmnity for thc expenccs of the war was not alonc what the President insistcd on; for it was madc a s'mc tjua von that we mnst havc thc wholc of 2Cew Mexico, and pay thc differencc. llow, then, can it be said that thc war is prosecntcd only for indemnily? The Mcxican commis sioners then asked Mr. Trist, if, when the orig inal causc of thc war was adjusted, to wit, the Tcxas busincss, we could justify a continuancc of. thc war to compel them to stll tlieir counlrv. This qucstion has nevcr bccn answcred; but the war proceeds. But tho great delusion which prcvails in rclation to this subject of in dcmnity, by taking land, is this. Mexico has no laniHo ccde to us, or to any body clsc. Whcn any tcrritory is ccded by one nation toanothcr, or is conquercd byanothcr, the new sovereign, or govcrnment, succeeds to all the rights ofthe formcr one, and has jurisdiction over it, and owns so much of thc land as lic longed to the former yovernment, but does not acquirc any titlc to any land, owned by indi vidual proprietors. Spain always made hcr grants of land, to individuals, in Tery large tracts. New Mexico is an old country. and thcrc is not anacre of land in it, capablc of cultivation, that lias not bcen grautod to indi vidualj a liundred ycars ago. Tho Jjgtion, then, that we can, by possibility, obtain any moncy from land that can be gottcn, cithcr by conquest or by trcaty, of Mexico, is an utterly unfounded delusion. Somcthing has bcen said among the people as to mines, but I bclieve this Governmcnt has not attempted to practicc any delusion on our people, by pretcndingthat anything can bc obtained that way, except thc small pcr cent. which is paid by way of t.ix on gold and silvcr produced. The truth is, nii ning isa kind of lcttery. Therc arc nomines so valuable as the mines of agricultural wealtli in in the soil of our own countty. The Mcxican mines are not in thc owncrship of thc, Govern mcnt, but are not in the hands of foreign cap italists, from whom they cannot be taken. 5f It is obvions, too, that whenever the resolu tion is taken that vrar shall proceed, and con quest bc madc, rjntil the amoant taken, and to bokcpt, shall'pay thc expcnse of "the opera- tion, therc is no limil tothc claim. lt is forcv cr adcancing; and Mexico docsnot hoic Lnorc and nevcr can hioxc, from one day to anothcr, the extcnt ofour claim; nor can our people or army evcr know lor wuat we arc contcnuing, becausc our demand is on a constantly slid'mg scate or uncertainty. But itis said onr nconle triZ harr Innd. nnd tliat it will not do to make peace without some acquisition. fair, whenever the pcoplc arc truly informcd of the condition of things, as 1 have alrcady statcd, then they can be easily satisfied. The President has but to tcll thcm the whole truth. Besidcs, I do not belicve in this uncontrollablc aviditj- ofour people tosteal land. Other gentlemen bcst know their own constituents, but I have no hcsitation in say- mg, my constituents want no lanu but what they own, orfairly and peaccably purchasc and pay for. It is, howcver, urged,that wc cannot make a trcaty of peace aud'comc away without dis honor, unless wc obtain acession of some tcrri tory. I havc alrcady shown that a treaty of peace may, any day, oc madc, it wc uo not in sist on taking land. Now, sir, it is true that we may not make a peace and conie home, or evcn come home wijhout a trcaty, without thcrcby incurrin" national dishonor, unlcss we obtain soiuc land? If by the term 7io;ior is un dcrstood somcthing distinguished from honesly; if referencc is had to what is callcd the code of honor, then I am not a good casuist, for I do not profcss to be lcarncd in that codc. It has bccn said that when a man apncals to his hon or, it is bccause his honcsty has all bcen uscd up. l nope it may not be so witli my coun try. Now, I profess to know somcthins about common honcsty, and I think a nation may do with honor what it can do with honcsty, provi dcd it does not funiish cvidcnce of pusillauim ity and national cowardiee. Can it be possi ble, after all thc battlcs which our army has so bravcly and succcssfully fought against such fcarful odds; after destroying their army and capturing their capitol; when in f'ull posicssion of their strong holds, and their officers captives or fugitives; when Slexico is- prostratc at our fcet, can it be possiblc, we may not sav, wc havc whipped j-ou enough and aregoingtomc? Thcrc can ncithcr bc national honor or glory in bcating a prostratc foc. Is it possiblc wc must kcep our feet npon hcr neck, and pick hcr pockcts, and strip hcr, bcforc wc can hon orably leave hcr? lias it come to this, that af ter all thc harvcst of laurels which has becn gathcred, our "lon- and national honor will bc sacrificcd, unless wc gct landi Aniid shouts of victorv and halos of glory which riseover the battlefields, wc hcar, at last, the whole sct tle down into thc mcrcinar3- and base cr- of land, land, land! No, to my mind thc tooncr wc lcavc tliat prostratc nation, and the less we demand other, the greater is our magnamm- "y- Jt is said we ouglit to continuc tho war, and conquer Mexico, for thc good ofthe people of inai couniry. n is a new iiung in iiiu uisiory ot man, that a pcoplc should auopt thc notion tlieir relitnon, governmcnt, and institutions, and evcn their racc, arc so much supcrior to all othcrs as to make it a holy uuty to cx- tcnd them, evcn by forcc, as blessmgs to otliers. It cannot be denicd that thcre is much dangcr that this may be the wcak point in our nation al charactcr. So superior is tho nature ofour Governmcnt to all othcrs, a3 suitcd to our.-cl- vcs; so much have we prospered and improvcd undcr it; so warm is our attachment to our country and its institutions, that we arc nat- urally lnchncd to considcr lt an act of humau itv, cencrosity, and magnanimity to cxtcnd thcse blcssings to othcrs, evcn by force, and to forget that these institutions ot surs niay not be adaptcd to cvcry people.

This was then laughcd at. and tlic claim was abandoncd. and all was satisfied. It is now often rcpcatcd, and thcre is fear the pcopie will be deludcd with its captivating prctensions. No man, whatcvcr bc his hopcs and wishes can arrogateto himself to dcclarc our destiny. It is profanation. But, cven if any man werc cndowed with tho supcrnatural andiniraculous powcr to sce that our destiny is to include this iicmisphere, or thc wholc world, within this Governmcnt, that could in no way justify our now procccding to takc formidablc possession ofit. Destiny mnst work out its own cnd by its own destined means. Even if I knew I was dcstined finally toown my ncighbor horsc, it would constitutc no rcason why I should stcal him. It is true, that, bccause wc are dcstined to own thjs conlinent, we arc also destined to disTacc oureclves by acquiring it by violence and blood? The plea of destiny has, among all bad men, in all past timc,been only the wcak and disgraceful apology forcrime. It is thc convicted felon only who apologkcs for crimc, byinsisting that it was his destiny; and heisj Entcrtaining thesc vicws, sir, I think this wretrhcd and ruinous war should be tcnnina- tcd immcdiatcly and entirely. The project of conoucst of Mexico, in wholc or in part, should bc abandoncd, and a peace be madc on tliat prtncijtie, which may now bc done ou any uay, and our army should come homc in its glory, bcforc that glory is tarnishcd and compromised bv dccds of plundcr and opprcssion. Lct this Govcrnment return once moro to tho lesitimate business, for which it was crca- ted by th Constitution. It was made, not for conquest by foreign war. but as the Constitu tion declares, "to establish justice, to insure do inestic tranqnilily, providc for the common de- Jcnca, promoto thc qeneral tceljare, anu to sc- cure the blessmgs ot uoerty to oursetces and our posierny. Mr. fapeakcr, now much might havc bccn donc for this country and this pcopie, had our action bcen eonfiucd to thc purposcs declarcd in tlic Constitution. and had all thc moncy and cirort cxpended in tiiis war bccn dcvoted to our own allairs? Time is not allowed mc to enter upon this great subiect. I can mcrelv say, we could indecd, by such a course, havc becn madc a happy, enlightcncd, and glorwus nation. SPEECII OF IiIR. MARSH, of Vermont, ON TIIE MEXICAN WAlt Mr. Maksu, who was cntitlcd to thc floor from yestcrday, addrcssed tho committee du ring his allottcd hourin a spccch af his clabo ratcly Cnishcd stylc and rapid delivery. The Ileportcr can only present such a brief and impcrfect outline of its gencral fuaturcs as he was ablc to catch. Mr. M. said that hc proposed to avail him self ofthis occasion todo what he had never before atteni)tcd to do in this place, viz. cx- press his own opinion and that which he be licvcd to be thc opinion of a large majority of ius constituents, and, as lic hopcu, thc wholc ot tho Amencan pcopie, on the causes, motivcs, objects, and dcpendcncics of thc existing war witli Jiexico, and wlnch would mducc lnm to vote ai;ainst thc furthcrprosecution of hostili tics, which, though avowcdly commcnced for dcfcnco, wcrc obviously to bc carried on for the purposcs ot conquest. Ihe advocatcs ot thc war said thatit was now too latc to stop,and tnc only question to ue scttlcd was,wnat means ought to bc adoptcd to bring thc war to as spcedy a termination as possiblc, and obtairi such a peaco as should bc honorable to us and iust to our advcrsarics. It would be, did a statc ot war absolvc us from all moral rcsnon- sibilitics to those of thc human fainily who hap- pcned to bc our enemics Mr. M. was one who had ncvcr bcen able to sce the distinction bctwccn public and privatc morality, and who held that therc was a broad distinction bc twccn a war for thc defencc and maintecanec of existing rights and a war for thc successful cstablishment of new claims. In judging of the propricty of prosccuting anv war, it was raateriaf to innuirc into thc dcsign and purjioses for which tho war had becn commen?ed; othcrwisc, we could ncvcr know whether thc war had accompliahcd its cnd or not. In rcgard to this war, it was un important to distinguish betwecn its primary causc and its immediate occasion. It was now he bclievcd, prctty gcncrally if not unnersally admittcd that the primary causc of our war with Mexico was thc anncxation of Tcxas: thc proximatc causc was ccrtainly the advane of tho Lnitcd fatatcs army to the banks ot tlic Itio Grandc; but it did not thcrefore follow that tnc war was a ncccssary conscqucncc, This Cabinct miiht bc rcsponsiblo for the ac- tual cxistcncc of the war, though his prede cessor might havc produced that statc of thipgs out of which it had grown. If the Adminis trationhad bcen guilty of precipitating this dirc calauuty upon tho country, or it tticv should now refusc thc tcnns of peace whicn wcrc gcncrally undcrstood to havc bccn of fered by Mexico, they wcrc rcsponsible bcforc (jou and mcn lor all thcir acts or neglccls in rclation to thc whole subiect. After thc fatal wound we had inflicted on tho national honor and indcpcndence of Mex ico, by thc absorption of a rcvoltcd provincc, which shc still claimcd as an lntegrm part ol her cmpirc, Mr. M. would not say that it had cver bccn possiblc to avoid a wan but, as had bcen wcll shown by his friend from Connecti cut, (undcrstood to refer to Mr. Dixon,) the Administration nevcr had bona Jida endeavor ed to avoid it by soofhing the woundcd fcel ingsof Mexico. or doing any thing to concili atc, until tiiis was tricd tbcy had no right to presumc, beforchand, that shc would lelusc oil conciuation. onc uau ai any raic coramiucu no hostilc acts; thc cassus belli had not occur ed whcn the present war was pro-okcd and commcnced by us. Hc would not say that thc Administration had wantonly plunged the country into this contcst, withafullknowlcdgc beforchand of its charactcr and results;but this much he wonld sav. that hc had no doubt thc President had ordcrcd the advancc of our troop undcr thc hopcs that hc might thcrcby goad Mexico into some hostilc act, that would servc as a nlausable rcason for a large in"r-aie of the army and navyt and :i nronortionate au-jmcntation of Executie patronagc; and that hc calculated at thc cost of a small war to extort irom iicxico ucr jain.-M provinces, thcrcby placmg President Polk by the sideof President Tvler, on the bad emi- ncncc of thoso who undertook to bccomc the "cnlargcrs ofthe arca of frccdom." But. besidcs all this, the Executivc rcsolved on takin-r stcns to get the Californias. Thc surrcndcr of Orcffon had bccn prcdetcrmincd. and it becamc neccssarj- to propitiatc the irri- tatcu icciings vi iiiu nwi, luufibuii iMfrh-sniritcd ocodIc would certainly be at the loS of what they all had bccn taught was their "unquestionablo ngni a war wuu iuira prescnted itself as tlie readicst and most likely mcthodto encct-this objcct, by opcr.ing (o Wcstcrn enterpnc new regions m tnc soutii, !n nl-icn nPthne which it was decmcd the part ofdiscrction to surrcnder to thc demand of Great Britain. Mr. M. said he could not rcgard this war but as a national oflfencc. It was against thc spirit of thc thnes, It was a rctrogradc stcp in thc ontward progrcss of civilization and hu- manity. It was a misusc, a total prevcrsion oi our rich resourccs, a misdircetion of our ainis Thc cultivation of the artsot peace, ot rcpro- duction, of multiplication, of creaton, werc nn-r rnconized on all hands as best suited to the gcnius and cntcrprizing spirit of oar pco plc. 10 cultivate war, in preien;uti;: wasan invcrslon of statcsmanship unworthy of the ninctcenth centurj, and against tho preccpts ofChristianity. It callcd a great cmUzed and Christian nation toturn the ploughsharc into the sword. Tho policy of this people was. to increascby natoral growth and by accretion, not to sprcad byconqncstandaoquisition. Thc vcry publicity that nccessanly attcndcd the opcrations of a republican governmcnt was utterly opposcd to thc policy of an acquisitivc war, wliich must liave becn planned in Dark ness. But it was not a thing to bc wondercd at that an Administration -which was in direct hostility to the cncouragemont of the useful arts and the protection of dolnestic industry should seck to divcrt public attcntion from its selfish and ambitious policy by holding up thc tinscl of lnilitan' clorr, and waving before thc gaze of thc people the false and meretricious splcndor ol foreign conoucst, and thus finding out a new and guilty eraployment for hands wiucn ns own course nau lo&eu irum mo m dustrial occunations and nursuits of private Iifc. An cflbrt has becn made to hide the tur- pitudc ofthis war ofagression by exaggera ting the -wrongs we had experienced from the Mcxicans and the glory to be acquircd by vic tory over them.

Mr. M. said hc was not thc apologist of Mex ico he cntcrtained no adnuration lor lic charactcr, nor was hc disposcd to dcny that she had done us great wrong; ai.d nonc could hopoless than he did fronia country undcr the double biirdii ofthe dcspotism of soldiery and the despotism of priest.

Hc had no wish to sec Mcxican women convcrted into widows, and thcir citics givcn to thc flarae. He had rather his coun try would sit down in honcst shamc than cn joying' thc guilty glory of hawng, by lawlcss Tiolence, sprcad hcr dominion oicr this entirc contincnt. Onc ninrdcr madc a villain, a thousaud made a hero; but the statesman who satcoolly down in thc scclusion of his cdosct,& plantcd a war ofparty ambition, and thc hot licadcd rulcr whose onlers bathcd a land in blood, were but wholcsale manslayers, whom no amount of carnagc and dcstruction could cver convert into hcrocs. Bonaparte, thc greatcst captain thc world has sccn, turncd pale, and wcpt, and trcmblcd whcn he disvov ercd that by an onlcr rasdily givcn to gratify a woman with thc si"ht of a battle-ficld, l;c had shortcncd. though but for a fcw davs, the livcs of many of his iaithful soldiers; but what coni- punctious Tsiiings, wnai graciousurowoi gcn erous repcntancc, had this Administration cver exhibitcdat the swecping slaughter in thc strects of Montcrey, the cnihing of women aud cliildren ih tho bomlianlmcnt of Vera Cruz, nt thc jicstilcncc ofthe camp, swecping thousands into an untimclv grave, or een at the tears and mourniug that wcrc tobo wit ncsscd in thc highways of this melropolis? But, while discussiiig the nuestions of mor als involved in thejprosccntion of hn war, it would bo well tolinquire into tlic origin, the thc causa caiuaruwfrwhich was to bc fouud in thc anncxation of Tcxas. Pcrhaps tho barc act of anncxation itsclf, apart from thc motivcs which led to it, and thc means by which it was cfl'ectcd, might not war rantadeclaration of war on the part of Mexi co. To dctcrminc this point, it was reqtiisito that we should know more than would, in all probability, be cver known to the prcs-cnt gcncration toitching thc rclations of Mexico to hcr rcvoltcd proiince. It might bo urged that Tcxas wasat tho timeactually imlcpendcnt; it was possiblc, though thc fact has ncvcr yct bccn provcd, that hcr revolt frnni undcr the Mexican authority was justified by her misrulc and opprcssion; but our groiind of judgcmcnt mimt have re?nect to the motivcs and tho means which produced her annexatic-n to this L'nion. Tlie anncxation was held to bc iieccssary to thc sccurity ofthe slaveholden it was indiapcnsable in order to thc sccuring of his rights as giiaran tccd bv the constitution; and thc rci'crrnco drawn'from thesc prcmises was, that thcrefore thc Gencral Govcrnment was bound tosid in the project. It was true that a timid snggcs tion had bccn addcd as to the probable loss of a great markct for Northcrn manufacturcs; and a humbug was gottcn up about Tcxas lcing ncccssary to the Union as a niean3 of strcngth- ing the defencc of an cxpocd frontiei-; and, as a makc-weight, they had bcen tbrown in an apprehension of thu powtr of British influencc whieh would bc excrted thcrc should rot an ncxation be. cfTectcd; but passcd all thesc con- sulcratiens, bccause, thougli tncy migm possi bly bc successful in gulling such pcrsons as had been simple enough to givo credchcc to thc Kanc letter, assuring thcm tlu.t Mr. Polk was a fricnd to protccting domcstic industry, vct.it was pcnectly notorious Uiai tncy ncver Jiad availcd to influencc a singlc -oa m Con- 1, r- 1 1 rrosg. uonyress nau naa ociore u inc iiiiM.u qucstion as a Southern question as the ques tion of slavery.

Up to that time it had always bcen contcnded by thc South, and gencrouily ad mittcd by the North, that tho Gencral Govern mcnt had no jurisdiction as to slavery; but, as had bccn wcll said by anothcr, in their ovcr Iieatcd zcal, thc friends of anncxation conce dcd a principle which thc abolitionists had not becn slow to takc advantagc ofviz- that Con gress had the right of Icgislation'on a subject which had hitherto bcen confined cxclusivcly to the lcgislativc powcr of tho Statcs. nowcver wrong thc motivc ofthe war might have becn, therc was yct more of crimc in the mern? uscd in bringing it '.o pass- W'hocver wished torcad the blackest page in Amcrican historr should ferrct out thc secret intricnes. tho liidded unackr.owlcdgcd plans and insidi- cus dcccptivc cflbrts, to cxcitc thc nation and gct it up to the war pitch, in order to usc that r.:i r..ir A..i-r.... ,xwcrful feclingtdcircct ccrtain predominating j nartv obiects He ought to divc into the re- I ccs cs ot that Maclnavelian policy which held out diffcrcnt baiU to difTcrent portions ofthc- country, that, by combiningllicactionoi many discordant elcmen(s andapph ing it in one di rection, anncxation might be" accomplishcd in spite ofthe North.

Tjie Forf.igx Xews bv tiie IIinr.iEMA In comnicrcial alfairs therc sccms to hc a continucd improvctncnt in England, so far as remrds thc moncy markct. The stock of bul- lion, orspeeie, in the Ilank of England con tinucs to increasc, and amounted, by last rc- turns, lo about thirtccji millions stcrling, cqual to ncarly sixty-two and a half millions ofdol- lars and thc continuous importations of thc prceious metals from Europc, and still more from the Unitcd Statcs, funiish a subject of coniincnt for thc English papcrs. Thc grcat incrcasc of strcngth of thc Bank of England has bccn ellectcd, it should be noticcd, not on ly by thc prostration of the credit of some of the largcst comnicrcial houscs in the kingdom; but by dcprcc'ating thc pricc of commodities, to a grcat cxtent, has opcrated injuriously up on thc commerce and industry of thc country. Thc bank has, howcvcr, bccn cnabled, by thc repleiiishmcut of its coficrs, to rcducc its minimum ratc of discount lo fourpcrccnt. Thc London Daily ncws, of thc 2Dth Janu ary, thinks that thcre is nothing in thccircum stances of thc casc to justify an apprehension that thc ratc of intercst has been artificially mischievously forccd bclow its natural levcl. On thc contrnry, it apjiears that thc coursc of thc bank has bccn govcrncd by thc course of cvcnts. The inllux of spccic into England, particu larly -from thc Unitcd Statcs, in quantitics which arc considered unneccssary, is thought to have bccn brought about at too grcat a sac rifice to be rcgarded as a favorablc symptom in thc moncy markct by some of tho English Editors. Willmcr ?c Smith's Europcan Timcs says The unduc cxportation of bnllion from the United Statcy, oecisions licrc, at prcscnt, al most s mtich wncasincss as our own slender stock did in October last. Tho indications of derangcmcnt, whi-li thc CJtport of 3,SOO,000 has already oecasioncd, arc,twatched with in-crea-ing anxicty. Thc cflect of this has been much ovcr-rated. We think thcre cannot be a doubt that thc loan opcrations of thc United Statcs Governmpnt, iu the facc of thc prcscnt cxportations of spccie, and thc drain of bull ion for the cxigcncics cf tho war with Mcxico, are the imnicdiatc causes of the actual iucon- venience suffercd by thc banks on thc otlier side. Thc ccs'-ation of tho unforlunatc war with "Mcxico would condncc more than nny otlier cvcnt to reimigoratc trade, and cqualize thc cxchanes to their ordinary levcl. We apprcncnu lar greatcr uomcstic uimcultics, so- cial as well as tinancial, from tha pcrpctuation of thc iniprovident, inipolitic, and, cvcn among the Amerteans thcmsclvcs, unnopular war wilh Mcxico, than from thc transitorycfilux of bul- hon Irom cithcr counttr. llie onc willspeed- ily regulatc itself thc other carrics with it thc secds of far greater ehanges, cithcr for cvil or gootl. e stncerelr nopc tlie issuc may not bc more disastrous than it is at prcscnt. Thc amount of emigration from the British Islcs to Amcrica forms another topic of rcmark in the English papcrs. The Livcrpool Jour nal last quotcd obscrvcs that In 1846, no less than 229,851 persons emi gratcd from our shorcs; but in tlie first ninc montlis ot lh4 tlie emigration rcachcu to thc astonishing number of 210,732 persons, the grcater proportion of which bcing Irish emi grauts to Xorth Amcrica. Thcre sailcd from Livcrpool 114,301 from other English ports, 22,094 total from Endand, 136,395": from Scotland 8153; from Ircland, 95,911 forniing tcgethcr 240,460 human bcings. Thc mortal- ity attcnding thc passagc of this vast multitudc has bccn inuccd tcrrific. Uut it mustbeborne in mind that grcat numbcrs, prior to going on boanl thc vcsscls which carried them to their destinatton, werc in a state of frighlful disease, which, doubtlcss, all the miscries of a sea voyagc more or less aggravated. TheTkee Tkade TAnirr." in conncction with thc Jlcxican war, is now working out its Ic gitiinatc cfl'cct. The flow of spccie into the coun try last year, from the povcrty of Europc, opcra ted as a postponcment,mcrcly,ofthatefi"cct which would othcnvise have bccn thcn cxperienccd.

THE GALAIY. MIDDLEBURY, VT. Tuesday, Feb. 29, 1848. GE2TERAL TAYLOK. Thc recent gathering for General Taylor ia New York was a tamc concern compared with theWhig meeting at Cajtle Garden. Ths most strcnnous efTorts were mado to make it u imposingas possible. Forty-two Vice Preii dents and eigbteen Secretaries ofEcered ti meeting. Thc speakcrs wcro Wm. Cost Joha son, of Maryland, and Col. Baker,(late of tho army,") of Illinois. During thc speaking much confusion and nproar prevailed- All sorts of politleians sccm to have been present at tlre meeting. Thc odds and ends of all political parties and discontcntcd political menscemin clined to whecl into tho Taylor ranks. But some important devclopementi have ba made in these gatherings. By the letters and declarations madc in thcm by men better ic quainted by General Taylor's sentiments and political career than we at tho Xorth hro been, settles points of controTersr which have been matters of speculation. Gen. Taylor un equivocally and frankly avows himself a whig in principle. He votcd for Henry Clay in '44 and greatly prefers him to any other man in the Union, unlcss ho should except hinnelf. These facts show clearly tho frank and hoaeit character cver attributed to old Rough and Ready. But still General Taylor has taken n. falsc position. The great and enlightencd. Whig party go for no man. Principles, is thoir motto. They cannot tamely shut their eve and servilcly surrendcr their right to judge of tho9e mcasurcs upon which tho liberties and prosperities of this great republic dcpend. They pay no blind homagc at the shrino of a ny man. Such a coursc would degrade th mcanest of the party. What is Gencral Tay lor as a civilian, aud how much above any en ligbtcned man in the raak and file of the whig party Who can determinc, unlcss he make some sort of exposition of his wisdom and o pinions upon thc grcat and important princi ples of policy which nro to control thu desti nies of the nation. CLAY J1EETTNG. It is said by tho Tribune that tha Clay meeting, hcld ou Tuesday eveningl&st at Cm tle Garden, was the mightiest ajjemblaga cf Amcrican Frecmen ever gathered under ouu roof, comprising ncarly tcn thousand. Tho cnthusiasm of the people equalled in intensitr thc magnitudo of the mecliDg. At the cvcning came on brightly snd mi!dly,sTs the same papcr, thc whig masses poared in in an unbrokcn column across the Battery and Bridgc to tho Garden, which was ncarly filled to its utinost capacity. Thc Globe (Loco) says this was a Iargo moet ing. Somo eight or ten thousand derottd friends to Henry Clay wcre on the spot. The Hcrald says tho nunibers were estica ted by ecmpetont judgcs at twehe thousand, and admits, broadly and uuequivocaUy, th the grcat City is for Hunry Clay by an im mcnso majority, aud no mijtake. The sama observation is true all over the Union. He u emphatically the man of thc people, "grcat in the hearts of his counlrymcn." Ther Iove acd admire Henry Clny, and, although thrico d- feated as candidate for the chicf masiatrsx-y. wc should likc to sco tho man who voted fur Clay in 1844 who will not rally with rcdoubled cnthusiasm again ucdcr his standard. Scmo hcsiiancy among thc whigs has hithcrto exist- ed in thc circles of the Capital as to tho avail ability of Henry Clay. But now white head ed Senators who werc yesterday leaning to- wards General Tavlor are tinsrinz ft dif- ferent tunc, and, says a letter writcr, onc ot thera was heard to remark Well, we can't help it, Clay id indecd the idol of the Ameri- can people and it wcro in vain to think of any other man." WHIG CANDIDATES. We ecc that while the Vermont Watchmia has placcd Judge JI'Lean at tho hcad of its columns with thc intention of indicating ths prefercnces of Vermont in the prcsidential canvass, the Frec Prcss has done the same for Ilcnry Clny, both, however, subject to the de- cission of thc Whig Convention at Baltimore. The propriety of thus carly houting flapgs, might well be doubted. But sincc thc garae has been commcnced, it has become now nec essary to have a full cxprcstion of tho senti ments ofthe 'Green Jlountains Boys' oa this subject as can be made by thc Trcss. As to thc people in this rcgion, no doubt thcre are some Whigs who votcd for Mr. Clay in 1844 who would not rcpcat it at this time. But such n whig is a Kara Aris. We arc frco to say tho whigs of Westcrn Vermont will cling to Jlr.Clny as the sheetanchorof thcirsafe ty, thcir principles, and whenevcr a chance prcsents itself during his life to place himst the hcad. ofthe nation, they will vote for hia.
