New York, Friday, Oar Weekly paper this week will not be inferior ny respect to any that preceded it. {t will contain the late European news; Gen. ‘Taylor’s official despatches of the storming of Mouterey; acomple list of the killed and wound- ed ; Mrs. Meyer's letter in vindication of hercon- nexion with D. Marvin Hoyt; the latest accounts from the army and navy ; and the usual variety of commereial, financial, political and miscellane- ous reading—ineluding election returns. The engraving this week will be very valuable, giving a view of the city of Monterey and its forti- fications, published in our paper of Thursday last, with an addition, showing the exact position of the different regiments of volunteers and regu- lars before the battle, Price 6} cents singly, in wrappers, or $8 per annum in advance. in Lists of the Killed and Wounded. The lists of the killed and wounded at the storming of Monterey, were received yesterday, and are published on the outside of this day’s Herald Single copies, in wrappers, ready for | mailing, can be had at the office at two cents | each. ‘The Next Presidential Race—Stumping for | the Office. it seems that the returns from Michigan, upon | which we based our article on the next | Presidential election, in yesterday’s paper, were not altogether correct. More recent accounts lead | to the conclusion that the democrats have carried | the State. Ifthis be so—and we shall be able to | tell with more certainty when the wind blows | from the west—General Cass has saved his dis- tance, and may have some chance yet. He has, at all events, triumphed over the Van Buren | party, for he has carried his own State, and they have failed tocarry New York in favor of Silas | Wright. Well, this is something. It diminishes | Wright’s chance of success, and is an accession of strength to Cass. This gives an entirely new phase to the ap- proaching struggle. It will give confidence to | the friends of General Cass, who will at the | proper time point to Michigan as the place | where the tide of whig victory was rolled back, | and that through the personal exertions and in- | fluence of General Cass. The democratic victo- ry in Michigan may, therefore, be looked upon | as inthe highest degree important to the success of the General’s prospects. We also find that, at a late meeting in some part of Michigan, General Cass was nominated for the Presidency. Next to general popularity, home popularity speaks best in a man’s favor ; so that the nomination of the General by his fel- low-cirizens of his own State, is not a matter to be everlooked We are decidedly of opinion that the General would carry Michigan by a trium- phant majority, and Michigan is a very respecta- | ble Siate. Besides, it is not the mere number of votes which would be cast for him that is to be taken into consideration —it is the fact that the General is esteemed and ap- preciated by these who know him best. One | ofthe prominent objections urged by his oppo- | nents against Mr. Polk, was, that he could not | carry the vote of his own State. Now, the late | election in Michigan shows that this objection cannot be urged against General Cass. We think, then, from all this, we may congratulate the Gen- eral on his prospects. The whigs of Henderson, Tennessee, have late- ly nominated John McLean of Ohio, associate judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, | asa candidate for the Presidency. Mr. McLean is unquestionably one ofthe most prominent men of his party—a man of sound mind and very ex- alted character; and he could probably, like General Cass, carry his own State. Mr. McLean’s chances are by no means to be despised. The third compet tor entered is Daniel Web- ster, who, a short time since, was nominated by awhig meeting in Exeter, New Hampshire.— | New Hampshire, as every body knows, is the | birthplace of Daniel Webster, and it is fair to sup- | pose that the people of the Granite State would | back their favorite candidate against the field.— | Mr. Webster would undoubtedly make a great | President. Ho is a man of extraordinary intel- lect, and his administration would be a very bril- | liant one. } There being so many candidates on both sides, | ithas been suggested that they should all stump | it throughout the country. Should this plan be | adopted, there would be a glorious time. All the | candida‘es would appear on the hustings together, | supported by their baokerg, and state their re- | spective claims, services, &e. The people would | then be able to vote more understandingly, ater | becoming acquainted with the principles of the candidates from their own lips. We are by all means in favor of this system. There will be no more suicidal letters like those | in which Martin Van Buren and Henry Clay in- | dalged, and no misunderstanding as to principles, | as in the case of the whigs and John Tyler. Everything would be fair, open and explicit, and | the people would have a man of their choice. | Let us have the stump system, by all means. | | | | ALMONTE AND tHe Mexican War.—It must be admitted {by all that the storming and capture of Monterey was one of the most brilliant actions on record, and reflected the highest credit on both the victors and the vanquished—on the one for taking a place so strongly fortified internally and externally asto be almost impregnable, and on | the other, for making such an obstinate defence as they did, and not capitulating until they knew that to hold out longer would not possibly be at- | tended with any good result, but would eventually | be attended with a frightful loss of life on both | sides—a result which the spirit of the 19th century and the cause of humanity forbid. Although the American Flag waves in triumph on the capitol of Northern Mexico, and the mar- tial air of “Hail Columbia” re-echoes daily through”, the passes and confines of the Sierra Madre, re- fleeting unbounded honor on our gallant brethren ‘narms, for their heroic conduct on the memo- rable “three days,” it must be conceded that all were dearly purchased, and before these honors were gained, our country lost some of her bravest and noblest spirits. Indeed, the obstinate defence of Monterey, and the terrible loss of life that took place before it capitulated, prove what we have stated on tor mer occasions, taat the American people have un- derrated the military resources of Mexico and the spirit ofher people. We entered their territory with the impression that they were a nation of cowards and slaves, whose spirit had been broken by the iron rule of military deepotism, and that | instead of a well organized army to dispute our | progress, we should be hailed as friends rather | than enemies—as deliverers rather than conquer- | ors. The battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la | Palma, shook our confidence in these calculations | —the battle of Monterey confirmed our mistake. | We have now to fight an enemy with armies well | disciplined, and whose resources are ample. If the war is to be prosecuted for any length of time, | we have to uniearn what we have learned, re- trage our steps and begin anew. It will be recollected by our readers that some considerable time after hostilities had begun, we stated in this journal that we were favored with the perusal of a letter from Almonte to a friend in this city, when he and Santa Anna were exiled in | Havana. Almonte stated that the military re- | sources of Mexico were greater than the United | Btates or Europe-had any conception of, and that | | made a great mistake in estimating the charac- rious questions of national and st 7 ths event Gf its ont Sania dana’s rpeail sa thelr cotiniry, the world would ¢oe it~that aithoughthe nied States might conquer ali the northern pro- | vinces, they could not Conquer Mexico—that from | the spirit of the people and the sufficiency of their resources, they were invincibleé—that they might take twenty towns, but they could not take Mexico We considered this letter of considerable im- portance when we perused it, but doubted the accuraoy of these statements. We looked upon them as the usual Mexican bombast. Recent events, however, show that it was not altogether anebullition of Mexican gasconade, but that it | contained some admixture of truth. In looking over the copions correspondence, and ex racts from the seat of war, published in yesterday’s paper, we perceive that the amount of ammuniti8n that came into our hands, by the capitulation of Monterey, as reported by tke United States ordnance officer, was sufficient to | answer the use of our army for a pretty long war, and that the fortifications, in and around the city, | were constructed in the most scientific manner, ani capable of repulsing any foe that might at- tempt to take them, except one composed of such materiel as is the United States army, under their gallant general. These results go to show that Almonte’s statements were not entirely without foundation. It must be acknowledged that we have | - | ter and resources of Mexico, and that unlesssome | change in the plan of operations be immediately made, and te most important points reduced, that we have the prospect of the war continuing for a length of time, unless the Mexican Con- gress take upon itself to propose terms of peace, acceptable to the United States government. We have reason to believe the administration, are impressed with the same conviction, and have marked out a change in the plan of operations, that will bring about the desired end. This war, at any rate, no matter what its result may be, willdo more to raise the character of Mexico asa nation than any other event that could occur to her. Vorr oN THE AMENDED ConstiTUTION AND Nz- Gro Surrrace —The following are all the returns as yet received, which can be relied on. We give for comparison, the vote, of the coun- ties on the question of appointing a Convention | for the purpose of amending the old Constitution: | Fables & es $5 g1188 23,28: Be Berri ee le: = 27,652 mj, 79,387 maj. ste mi It is here to be seen that the new constitution | is adopted by the people, but the figuress exhibiting this result show, not perhap: decreased interest, but a diminished maj | favor of any alteration in the constitution. lt ap- | pears that in the counties already heard from, the | majority in favor of the convention reached near- | ly 80,000, while the majority in favor of the amended constitution is only 30,000. | The vote against negro suffrage is very decided | —sufliciently, to quench what little abolition feel- | | ing there was left on the 3d inst., after the polls were closed. We annex the vote on this ques- tion, and also the vote thrown for Birney in 1844° Vote ox Neano Surrmaas. Abo.

Well may the negro exclaim, ‘“ save me from my friends.” Tux Lasr og tue CatirorniaNs.—The ship Brutus was to have sailed ‘yesterday for the Pa- cific with government stores, &c., and having on board those of Col.

On Last Saturday officer Snyder ur- | ter Gray, Esq , who held him to bail to answer the charge, atcourt. it appears that these two persons, Campbell” and Brown, alias Dr. Hatch, formerly kept in copartner- ship the “ Seven Mile House,” on the 'n road, near Pikesville. A short time previous to the robbery of | Livingston & Wells’ Express, at Rochester, New York, Brown went on to the North, where, under the alias of Dr. Hatch, he was arrested on the charge of committing the Express robbery. Campbell, who remained at the | hotel, which he still occupies, imagining that Dr. Hatch | would not return very soon, took possession of the pro- | perty he left behind him, a part of which itis alleged ho oe of, and Dr. Hatch says, secreted the remainder.
