This is well, and still better for the State would it be, this condition of things could remain for years ; for in common with the other States, are cursed with much legislation.

It we set the on fire, and be felt in our forest e' that place whereon to stand, from which they move tho political world to their own good liking. Weare looking with much interest for the President’s Message. It will undoubtedly be a well written docu- ment, as Mr. Polk is a good writer, and his last messege wasachefd’euvre. We are anxious to see what dispo- sition he will recommend to be made of the immense territory we have acquired since last spring. Our de- mocracy are not remarkably tinctured with abolit 4 but the ground taken by the Hamilton county democrats last summer, namely, that slavery must not be allowed inany new territory, is very popular with the whole party, and will, I think, be adhered to ana insisted upon. This is the re which the south must make up its mind to pay for the Oregon treaty, opposition to infer from being extinct in the west. We are also desireus of learning how the administration purposes to meet the increased expenditures consequent on a state of war. Should it be recommended to impose taxes on ar- ticles now free, it will not tend to meke the war more popular than it now is; thougl increased taxation is to be avoided, is more than any man can tell. War is the parent of taxe mighty mother of a stinging brood. Mr. Brinkerhoff may have another opportunity of displ yidg his racy eloquence at the ex- pense of the fedicirer hes ion, when the taxes come upon the ta] think it is much to reg’ Mr. B en re elected to the next Congress, for though hi reputable man enough in his rey: it would take a legion like him to make one Brin kerhoff. We have a way out here of dropping men jas about the time they become good for some when experience has made them useful and soguctous= and it is because we pursue this foolish course, that we are perpetually beaten in Congress, and our interests measurably disregarded. A few more sets like the veto- ing of the river and harbor bill—e treaty or two moze re- sembling the last with England—and perhaps the West will begin to take a more sound view of politics, and make herself heard in the national halls. Mere pettsfog- gers and village politicians are not statesmen, and can- not do the appropriate work of statesmen. L. Political Portraits of Polk’s Cabinet for the People. WILLIAM L. MARCY.
