She is in her 16th day Our Relations with Mexico—Shall we Pro- secute the War with Vigor / in the report of We give, in another column, the proceedings in Congress on special message of the President, relative to the settlement of our difficulties with Mexico.

To-day, at 12 o'clock, Congress adjourns, after Tue Pann Tueatae.—This establishment will reopen for the fallcampaign on the 17th instant, under most favor- able auspices. We understand that a very talented actor named Collins has been secured, who is reported to be a session of eight months and eight days, having | one of the most amusing fellows we have ever seen on | commenced on the 2d day of December, 1845, | any It 1s now time for the Great Western to make | and ending on the 10th of August, 1846. There | autre wag i of Bere orde: ry. have been a very great number of private bills | make a great sensation in the cil passed ; but with perhaps one exception, more important measures have been perfected this ses- | and ladies sion of Congress than in any previous one. They may be enumerated in the following order :— Ist. The Oregon Notice. 3d. e ification of the '. ath. The Ad Valorem Tan en ey Sth. The Warehousing Bill. 6th. The Sub-Treasury. 7th. The River and Harbor Bill. 8th. The French Spoliation Bill. ledgments of all our just rights. Wecandiscover ¢ these, the two latter have been vetoed. no sort of usein mincing matters. While impelled | ph. River and Harbor bill has been twice ve- to commenee, it is eur duty to go forward without | toed before, and if the position taken by President faltering, until all our demands are properly se- | Polk is a proper one, it will undoubtedly be vetoed | cured. That there isan immense embodiment of ill- will to our country in the hearts of the public, we are well assured ; we have, indeed, the proof of .ts existence before our eyes; proof that it exists in no small degree even in those who are the declared opponents of Paredes, and his recently developed plan of establishing a mc+ narchy on the ruins of the Mexican republic, if Mexico has ever been one We have, moreover, no faith in the proposals which the President in view; we be lieve our country would be humbling itself to no purpose, tocatch at any offer thrown out by Mexico. From all we are able to learn, the sum oftwo millions of dollars for the purchase of some of the western states of Mexico, or a boun- dary near the Rio would be consi- dered an impertinent offer on the part of our go- vernment, and utterly inadequate to satisfy the enlarged expectations of Mexico, and her magni- loquent rulers. It is proper we should hold up our voice and protest against this halfandhalf course, Suspend- ing operations at the very moment our forces are prepared to make a forward movement,will have a pernicious influence on the Mexican public: they will say, “ these North Americans are afraid to advance ; they propose terms of peace.” result will be difficulty in the arrangement of terms, and a rise in all the expectations and de- mands of their rulers. We say again, therefore, itisour duty to go on, and compel Mexico to make the first advances towards a pacification. We perceive no dignity or national propriety in any condescension on our part. Itis evident to our minds, also, that if even the often promuled revolution took place, and Santa Anna and Almonte were re-established in power, there would be little disposition in these ‘persons to settle the question of national differ- ence, except on compulsion. We have before us @n extract ofa letter from General Almonte,which plainly exhibits a feeling of hostility to our coun- try—a feeling so strong, indeed, that it would al- mest seem that a war to the knife would be deem- has Grande, ed preferable to a peace, except on terms which | we can never by possibility submit to assent to. | We say again, therefore, that advances on our part to pacificate the war differences are impoli- tic, unwise, and unnatural—there is no chance of their being viewed in the right hgnt by Mexico, and unless our offers are very liberal and conci- liatory, we will be mortified by a repulse. We deem it consistent with the patriotic course we have all along pursued on this question, to counsel our rulers at Washington; deprecating as we do, and must continue to do, as unwise, any steps towards a conciliation, until Mexico sues for peace There is no evidence perceptible that Mexico has made any advance on her part; and if it be true that ofr government is acting on the belief of a citizen of ours in the capital of the Montezumas, we presume he must have been directed to make the enquiry. It will not be very gratifying to the military feeling, so extensively developed by and since the glorious contests on the Rio Grande, in the early part of May, if these successes are fol- lowed only by a proposal for a cessation of hosti- lities—hostilities we did not commence. It cannot, and it will not come to good. Tux New York Post Orrick Acawn.—The mis- erably inefficient manner in which the business of the New York Post-office is conducted, has, we are glad to perceive, been the subject of de- bate in the House of Representatives at Wash- ington. The debate sprung from an amendment introduced by Mr. Hopkins increasing the sala- ries of deputy postmasters, when Mr. Seaman, of this city remarked :— That if the amendment gave the postmaster at New York an additional compensation, he hoped it would not pass. It had been his intention to mov resolution re- quiring an investigation into the condition of the post office in that city. ‘The deputy postmaster received $6000 per annum; but he was a member of State Conven- tion, and had been absent at Albany two months, receiv- ing four dollars aday. He may be there two months longer, at the same rate of pay. Abuses had come under nis fi Seaman’s) own observation. He had repeatedly mailed letters, which did not reach New York until five days after On the 3)th of au letter, enclosing a draft, was five days in rea ‘of destination. He had prepared a resolut e would read. It was to effect that the Postmaste: General be requested to inform the House, whether of cially or otherwise, R. H. Morris has been for some ti past performing other public duties than those of Po master, for which he has been receiving three or four dollars'a day, compelling him to be absent several months; and whether such absence has been sanctioned or autho- rized by the President or the Postmaster-General, and whether he is receiving during this time his salary The Postmaster was defended by a Mr. Rath- bun, from somewhere out west in this State; who, however, admitted that he was performing the duties of a delegate to the State Convention, for which he received feur dollars a day, while the business of the post-office was allowed to go on as best it could without his aid. Weare glad to see that Mr. Seaman had the manliness totake up this subject. We can as- sure him that he has the thanks of nine-tenths of the mercantile community in this city, and of the press for his trouble, and hope he will introduce his resolution at the earliest possible moment, and have some action taken on it. It is dreadful to reflect that the Postmaster is permitted to hold a lucrative office, trom which he receives five thousand dollars a year, and be not compel- led to attend to it, but have the liberty of throw- ing the duties on other persons, and accept another office worth four dollars per day, while the affairs ef the post-office are mismanaged to such a degree as to seriously affect the interests of many of our citizens. We cannot see how any man can justify Mr. Morris. He has proved himself to be the most in- efficient post master we have ever had, by being absent from his post. Butif the post office is properly managed while Mr. Morris is in Albany, it shows the folly of having a postmaster at all, and the $5000 yearly salary ought therefore to be saved. We think it would be well for the government to deduct from Mr. Morns’s salary, the sum he will receive as delegate to the Convention—some five or six hundred dollars. Thissum would help to fill up the revenue, and have a good effect as a precedent, to be adopted in similar cases, in fu- ture, Ifa man accept an office, and absent him- self from it, without just cause, he certainly ought not to receive the emoluments of his office during his absence. It is said that Mr. Morris is to be a candidate for governor of this State. He may depend on re- The | as often as it may pass Congress; and the only way to get the appropriations fer the objects pro- pal objection to this bill was its unconstitutional- ity. This alone was sufficient to condemn it at once; but if it is unconstitutional now for the Go- vernment to appropriate money for the improve- ment of rivers and harbors, it has always been since the adoption of the constitution, and conse- quently appropriations heretofore made and ex- pended, have been illegal. An immense amount of public money has been expended in the im- provement of rivers and ports not directly con- | nected with foreign commerce; and how is it that constitutional objections have not hitherto been made against these expenditures? 1f Congress only has the power to make appropriations for the improvement of those rivers and harbors, di- rectly engaged in foreign commerce, there has been a great want of coustitutional knowledge in former executives, in not vetoing bills making | apprepriations for the improvement of other | rivers and harbors. This point appears to be pretty well settled by | the veto message of President Polk; and we shall | hereafter have no more competition or rivalry in Congress between representatives from dif- ferent sections of the country, for sectional advan- tages of this nature. It is now established that Congress has no ric ht to appropriate funds for the improvement of ports not connected with foreign navigation, and that will be the basis of all future bills of this nature. At many of our ports of entry, no foreign goods ' have ever been entered, and no duties ever col- lected. They are not, therefore, connected with foreign commerce ; and, consequently, cannot claim any appropriation from government for improvement of their navigation. ‘I'he bill vetoed by the President contained appropriations for more than twenty objects of internal improve- ment, called harbors, at places which have never been declared by law either ports of entry or de- livery, and at which there has never been an | arrival of foreign merchandise, and from which | there has never been a vessel cleared for a foreign country. The Oregon affair has been dispesed of; both the notice resolutions and the treaty. Consider- } able excitement has recently been produced by | the announcement that the British Government | claimed the perpetual navigation of the Columbia | Tiver. It matters very little what that government | may claim. Any construction which may be put upon the section of the treaty relating to the navi- tions of the Columbia, different from that under- | Stood by our Government, although not expressed by the Government of Great Britain, will be of little consequence. When the time arrives for us to place ourown construction upon the expres- | sed and imphed meaning of the treaty, we shall be better able to sustain the position we may | assume than at present The treaty secures the | “ masterly inactivity” so important to us. There | has been a mean, contemptible species of diplo- macy resorted to by the British Government, in negociations upon this question, and is about on a par with that used in the North Eastern Bound- | ary Question. | The war with Mexico is likely to be a longer- winded affair than was anticipated. When Con- gress proclaimed the country in a state of war with Mexico, appropriations were made to carry on the hostilities. These appropriations amounted toa little more than twenty millions of dollars, and were supposed to be sufficient to carry the affair through to a successful termination. lt now ap- pears, however, that the President has a plan to | settle the whole trouble by the aid of two mil. | lions more. It is to be hoped that he will succeed, but we advise him to go on with the war until Mexico steps in and cries ‘“‘ enough.” We wil) then take California to cover our war expenses ; fill up that fertile territory with our people; fortify the magnificent bay of San Francisco ; and turn our attention to the rich trade of the Pacific and | | the East Indies. The tariff, the warehousing bill, and the sub- treasury, are connected in sucha manner, that this was the case ; | they must rise or fall together. It is our impres- caching its | sion that these bills, individually and collectively, will work more favorably for the people, than for the government; that the independent treasury will secure to the manufacturers all the protection they require, while it will restrict the revenue of the government from imports. The warehousing bill will aid the other two in their operations, and tend to preserve a uniformity in the supply of foreign merchandise, regulating more by the actual demand, which may from time to time arise, and make this | domestic products for export. It will give our commercial marine employment, and make it more profitable than it has been for years. We shall carry on ann extensive external trade, if wecan so call it. Large quantities of mer- chandise will be imported, but not entered for consumption, consequently the government will derive no revenue from it, and immense quantities of foreign merchandixe will be exported, from this external deposit the same as though it had never been within our limits. laws of different nations protect their own com- merce in the Reith trade with their colonie: and this werehouse bill, will throw a portion of the carrying trade between the British colonies and Great Britain into our hands. Heretofore we have imported foreign merchandize princi- ply for consumption, we shall now import argely for exportation, and in this way give a greater activity to our commerce. Tux Orecon Texrrrony—GRANTS OF LANDS TO Emiorants.—We are glad to see that the Pres dent of the United States, in his message to Con- gress, recommending a territorial government to be formed in that distant region, suggests that emi- grants should be aided by liberal grants of land on their arrival. We consider this avery good Suggestion, and hope it will be acted upon, if not during the present session, at the next. It is undoubtedly the policy of the general go- vernment, to promote emigration to that country, and encourage it in every way possible, not only by removing the obstacles in the way, but also giving a premium to every actual settler. This , premium might consist ef a section of land to ev. ery head of a family, anda half section to every male settler over twenty-one years of age. If an inducement like this were held out, we should soon see the wilds of Oregon settled by a race of | hardy emigrants,who would shortly make the free city the great | depot of foreign manufactures imported, and of | $o much for Coney Mexicani | posed, will be by a two-thirds vote.

We are pleased to see the enthusiasm with which this ex- cellent play has been received ; and, indeed, the true merits of the piece, added to the excellent manner in which it has been produced and performed, demand a re- turn from the public.

Wood and Freer both a ring. The low price of admission, the coo.ness of house, and the superiority of the company, are sufficient at any time to fill the house, without the necessity of any other recommendation.

Opinion in the West of Captain Duncan—Appea | to New Yorkers. | On the way from New Orleans to old Gotham, Ihave stopped for afew days in thiscity, anda few moments since, read a few lines in your pa- | per, relative to Capt. Duncan, of our army, in | which you very properly suggest that he, (Capt. | D.) should not be overlooked in those expressions | of esteem, &c., that have been shown to most of | our officers in command of corps on the 8th and | 9thof May. Ihave had intercourse with a num- ber of our officers who were on the field, and per- | | sonal friends of General Taylor, and do not hesi. tate to say that no officer on the field of the 8th of May deserves more credit than Capt. Duncan. Gen. Taylor considered the batile of the 8th as won, mainly through the ene: and skill with | which he worked his battery; and in the General’s | words, ** he knows not only what to do, and when to do it, butdoes it without waiting for orders.” | Thope our great commercial city are not too much engrossed in money making to agt as becoming them, and as others have done in other States. As a New Yorker, though living far away, I feel enough interest in my native State city, to w this suggestion of yours, and shall sur +1 take pleasure in contributing my mite if any tri- bute of appreciation of the conduot of Capt. D. is to be offered. 1 will not say Capt. D. was the | most gallant and efficient officer on the field of the Bh, but I will say. (and who will gainsay it,) no officer was more gallant than he, and should he be forgotten by his:countrymen, when (as you say,) all the officers but he, have had some testi- monial of the @stiniation in which their deeds are held by their fellow citizens. The neglect would almost become 4 silent reprimand or censure, which certainly New York will not long suffer to exist. } Literary Intelligence. The trustees and faculty of Dartmouth College, N.

American Yachting—The Race between the Northern Light and Syren—Lieut. Luther, a Hero of the Rio Grande, §c., §c. In a Newport letter, dated, I believe, on the Bth | ult.,I gave you a short account of the second race between the yachts Northern Light and Syren. In this letter, if I mistake not, I stated ertobe fairly beaten. She was beaten you will recollect—fairly distanced—run away from. Capt. Winchester, however, aumitted at the same time that any yacht, pilot, or sail boat in the harbor, might have done the same for her, as did the Syren. Butif beaten under the circumstances of the race of Tuesday, he does not, therefore, ac- knowledge her inferiority as a sailing craft to her opponent. It is but fair to state the circumstances of Tuesday’s race, which are as follows :— The Northern Light had been put into light weather rig—that is, ten feet had been added” to each of her masts, making them 76 and 74 feet respectively, toa deck of 62 feet. Mcreover, her canvass had been considerably enlarged, and in this rig she had never been tried under a stiff breeze. In light breezes she has beaten every thing that has sailed against her, the Syren not excepted; and in her old or heavy weathor rig, she has, we are informed, never been Leaten by any vessel whatever. i Upon the day of the second race, Tuesday, it not only blew a stiff breeze but a gale, and the sea was very heavy. This, with her tall masts and increased canvass, rendered her unmanageable, and completely crippled her, so that the captain | ve up the race at once, confessing himself beaten | for the day. It must be recollected, however, that in four races that have been run between the Syren and Northern Light, the latter has won two | oes and her spirited captain has no idea of | giving itup. He intends immediately on his re- turn to Boston, to replace the old “ sticks” and it in.

Mad je Sir.—I have recentl, noticed accounts of dogs in a rabid state being at large iu the streets; that they have bitten various persons, as well as other dogs, that would of course multiply the mischief; and I have heard of one or two famen- table instances of hydrophobia in consequence. If the proper remedy be applied within a mode- rate time after the accident, there is no reason to dread any such result. Asti During my residence in the Brazils in 1814 and subsequently, I frequently witnessed the distres- sing and fatal effects arising from the bite of rat- tlesnakes, scorpions, and other venemous rep- tiles, that abound in tropical regions. It often occurred to me, that an application which would decompose chemically the virus thus insinuated, would immediately alter and destroy, its deleteri- ousness. H j With this view,I used aqua ammonia to the bite of a scorpion, in the first instance, and I found it removed pain and inflammation almost instant- ! I thenextended it to the bite of the rattle- snake, with the same success. Being now cer- tain of its efficacy, I recommended it to several planters in the interior, who never afterwards lost a slave in this way, although death had always been the inevitabie result before. Reasoning from analogy, I ultimately came to the conclusion, that the venom of such animals, and the virus of others ina state of rabidness, were probably very similar, from their symptoms and results, so that about 1815, I wrote an article on the subject, which, to the best of my recollec- tion, Iforwarded to the Philosophical Transac- tions. In this, I suggested that aqua ammonia would be likely to produce the same chemical change in the virus in cases of hydrophobia, and ef 80, It od prove an effective remedy against that evil. On my return to England im 1826, an old friend and physician, informed me that he had, in con- sequence, frequently so used it, axd always with success. The incisions should be constantly Y with it; and three or four doses, diluted, taken in- wardly, during the day. The knife and lunar caustié are never needful, and, at the very best, are but a doubtful remedy, as neither can reach the interior absorbents nor the general circulation’ I have heard several physicians very unphilo- sophically declare, that aqua ammonia, applied to wounds, will create inflammation. This ob- jection I have answered by asking the simple question—Pray, do you not frequently prescribe TSHORN * Political Movements.

Since I left your Empire City, I have, by steam- boat, railroad, and canal to Syracuse, and by plank road, and a short distance on a rough road beside, finally “‘ brought up” in this retired spot, where I now address you. I like the steamboat on river and lake ; it gives one time to read or write, to take “notes of tra- | vel,’ to talk or sing, dance or play, as may suit the taste. And “ fera change,” a packet is not bad. The monotony of that kind of conveyance is so often broken by passing through locks, tak- ixg water, receiving and landing passengers, if one be not in haste to “ go ahead,” that itis very agreeable. And for dashing ahead, notwithstand- ing the eternal rumbling and puffing of the en- ine and the dust, the cars are admirable. But the plank road is a novelty in this country. From | Salina to Fort Brewerton (15 miles) a single track is completed. A ride across that, on a pleasant day, with a good team and carriage, is delight- ful. An invitation to praise is given at eveyy step, when contrasting the present smooth and agreea- ble surface of that road with its former unequal- led pitchy, hy, corderoy, wagon: breaking, aggravating roughness. I have travelled over the road in former days,when, if we escaped being up- set about once in going a mile, or breaking down, we thought ourselves highly favored. Now, one ean ride from Salina to Watertown not only with Lome safety, but with the greatest pleasure. ¢ plank road is decidedly the thing, where the soil is not favorable for good ronds without, Heretofore that part of the county through which this road passes was considered very Poss but that was owing to the fact that the was so intolerable, even in summer, that no one could see anything to admire, being constantly “ on guard” against upsetting, or some other mity. “But what about South Bay?” you will say. Well, it is the place where the people of this re- gion go for relseatten and a ride on the lake ; but most of all to fish ; and a fine place itis for the sport. the natives of the deer, from @ bass of four down to a shiner of an ounce.

The Exchange is nearly decerted, both by brokers and outside operato’s, and the inactivity of mid-summer is upon us. 80 long as this hot weather lasts, we cannot expect any business of consequence in the stock market. Amidst all the dullness visible in ‘Wall street, quotations f r the principel fancy stocks are astonishingly maintained; and it would therefore be pretty safe to look upon present prices for some of the fancies, such as Norwich & Worcester, Long Island, Reading, and perhaps Harlem, as the bottom; but in re- lation to the other fancies, such as Morris Canal, Vicks burg, &c., there is no knowing where the bettom is. The recent decline in Morrisis attributed to the fact, that the water in the canal has all diseppeared, either by evaporation, or by some leakage where there was a deficiency in cement. It is also rumored that there is some difficulty about the interest due or nearly due on the bonds, and that there is every probability ofanother foreclosure. One more sale of this concern will throw the whole into the hands of the bondholders, who have, in fact, the entire control of the canal now, and the stock: holders willhave a verv poor look for the tirst their nvestment.
