Not only has this advantage been gained by our arme at ‘that point, but in every affair near Vera Cruz the Mexi- ean troops have been beaten and dissipated by a very {u- ferior force, like chaff before the wind, Gen.

It is anxiously looked for by our inerchants. The Philosophy of the ElectionState of PartiosThe Position and Strength of the Radicals. There has been a great deal said by some of the ultra organs of the whig party, and one or two ism-ite democratic papers, about thegstrength of the national reform party in this city, and the in- fluence of that vote upon the late election. The organ of the yote-yourself-a-farm party has as- serted that the election of Mr. Brady was partly produced by the votes of that party, and that these votes were obtained by the letter received, purporting to have been written by that gentle- man, upon the eve of the contest. We think we are prepared to show, and prove by official documents, that the election of Mr. Brady was brought about by other causes, and that the vote of the national reformers was a mere bagatelle. More than one-half of the whig majority was produced by a combination in the eleventh ward, between the whigs and the na- tive Americans, by virtue of which the strength of the native American party was given to Mr. Brady, upon condition that the whigs voted for the native American Alderman, The annexed tables exhibit the result of this compromise :— Orriciat Vors Cast ror Native American Mayor ann ALDERMEN. Wards. Mayor. Aldermen. . 9 4 Excesss of votes for Aldermen over Mayor... In the eleventh ward there were only fifteen votes cast for Mr. Drake, the native American mayoralty candidate, while there were 1199 for the native American alderman, showing that 1184 native votes must have been given to one of the other candidates for the mayoralty. It is possible some of the natives of that ward did not vote for either of the other candidates, but there is no doubt that most of them voted for Brady. We now come to the national reform vote, the official returns of which were as annexed : av Vote cast ron Nationat Rrronm Maron ano ALDERMEN, Wards rol Aldermen. heme oO i; 8 sae 8 ° . 10 1 28 39 7 °o 0 x“ 2 7 8 0 1 a o7 1 61 48 1 0 ° 1 7 C} 1 28 1s 1 8 0 1 7 7 1 “ oy 1 16 o 3 413 303 Excess of votes for Aldermen over Mayor... 110 According to this, only 110 votes were cast for Brady, provided every national reform vote cast tor the aldermen over and above those cast for their mayor was given to the whig candidate. This does not Jook much like the whiga being tion of their mayor. The comparative strength of the whig and democratic parties, at the recent election, is | pretty clearly exhibited in the vote of Joseph R. | Taylor, the whig candidate for Alms House | Commissioner, and J. Sherman Brownell, the co had agreed to let him have five millions of dol- lars with which to drive the barbarians, meaning the Americans, from Mexico. No intelligence had reached the capital of the capitulation of Vera Cruz and San Juan de Ulda, and every effort was making to prosecute the war against the United States. According to Santa Anna’s detailed of- ficial despatch of the battle of Buena Vista, he still adhered to the declaration previously made, that negociation would not be entered into until every American soldier was withdrawn from Mexican territory. It may be that the surrender of Vera Cruz and Ulda will change the mind of the Mexican. Revoturionary Broop ar Vera Crvz— Youne Aten McLane.—Among the many feats of personal bravery, performed by our army in Mexico, the following one of Midshipman Allen McLane should immortalize its gallant author. During the siege of Vera Cruz, he was attached to Capt. Aulick, commander of one of the naval batteries. In the heat of the engagement, Capt. Aulick wished some brushwood, in front of him, which obstructed the view of a Mexican battery, removed. It was on an uncovered spot, and shot and shells were rained in a pertect deluge upon it. Still the removal of the obstruction was of vital importance, and he called for volunteers to cut it away. In an instant young Me- Lane leaped over the embrasures, tollowed by two seamen, and advanced boldly on the brush- wood. Ina few minutes their rapid and steady strokes were heard, as they hewed away, amid the bursting shells and falling balls, that threw up the sand around them. At length, aclear and open range was made to the battery, and Mc- Lane and his comrades leaped, unhurt, within the embrasure. It was nobly, gallantly done. It was sufficiently dangerous for a man to show his head above thé works, without standing in the open road, a fair mark for the guns. Young McLane is the son of the Hon. Louis McLane, and grandson of Col. Allen McLane, who served so bravely in our revolutionary war. He has proved himself worthy of the stock from which he is descended. Tur Rescut or THe Evection.—The whig members of the Common Council elect con- vened last evening, and organized by appointing James D. Oliver, of the 15th ward, chairman, and J. M.

Browns & Bewu’s Fixer ar Vera Cruz.—The following letter will be read with pleasure by our citizens democratic eandidategfor Mayor. Mr. Brady, as we have shown above, was indebted to the na- | tive American party to a great extent, and to a | limited extent to the influence of his name among the Irish. ‘The national reform party was a mighty small concern in the matter; and the idaa of their sup- posing themeelves strong enough to hold the balance of power between the two great parties, is decidedly rich and ridiculous. The Nows from Mexico—Its Character and Importance. We yesterday received important intelligence from three divisions of our army, serving in Mexico. The advices from Santa Fe are to February 10th. They contain details of the horrible mas- sacreat Taos, and subsequent battles. The dates from El Passo are to January 29h. Se Colonel Doniphan was hastening preparations to advance on Chihuahua. He had heard of Gene- ral Wool’s leaving for Saltillo. Capt. Mitchell's company had pushed 21 days advance on the main line, which was expected to move on the 6th of February. Capt. Doniphan was confident of taking Chihuahua, He reported 5000 Mexi- cans there, but this was, doubtless, an exagge- ration, a3 no Mexican supplies or reinforcements | could be expected nearer than from Durango. | We give this, because it confirms the intelli- | gence received by the way of the city of Mexico | and Tampico. Colonel Price, with three hundred men and four howitzers, had advanced to Puebla, | in New Mexico, where the Mexicans had forti- fied two strong large houses and a church. On the 3let January, he attacked them. At the first charge of the dragoons and infantry, seven Americans were killed and several wounded. Capt. Burguin was fatally shot in the lungs as he was gallantly leading the cornpany to the attack. The church and houses were stormed. The Mexicans retired, and the dragoons pursued, killed 150 or 200, and a complete victory achieved. Total American loss, 12 killed, and 30 wounded. The steamship Alabama arrived at New Or- leans from Vera Cruz on the 2d. General Quit- man, with his division, had proceeded to the saptare of Alvarado. Com. Perry, with the Mississippi, two sloops of war and the musqnito fleet, wore to operate with him. Gen. Twiggs’ command left on the Slet ult. for Puente Nacional. Gen. Worth was actipg Governor of Vera Cruz ; he wasto follow on the Sth inst. for the same destination. The accounts from Gen. Taylor state that he had returned to Saltillo, after a frnitless pursuit of Urrea, though he was at one time near bim in in advance of his own march. of our army in brief. The details, together Sunta Anna of the battle of Buena Vista, are to | »e found on the outwide of this day's Herald. | the vieinity of Marin. Gen. Taylor was pushing | forward large supplies towards San Luis Potosi, | This is the intelligence from the three points | with some important news from the city of | | Mexico, and the detailed official account of | Orr Sacmiricios, March 95, 1847. I forgot the date of my last letter, but the day after I sent it's steamer appeared in the ofing, carryi ared broad pendant ; we soon made her out to be the wippi, and took it for granted the gallant Perry was in her. That afternoon,a French bark anchored under the Castle, got underweigh and stood out, at the same time a man-of-war steamer, the Hunter pursued the bark, hove her to, put an officer on board, and stood back towards the anchorage. It had now grown dark, and @ very severe, although short norther, began to blow. We saw nothing of the Hunter or bark until morning, when both were discovered hard and fast on ‘Tajais reef, with signals of distress flying, and evidently going to pieces. ‘The Mississippi went out and brought off the people, but the vessels aro both lost. ‘That morn- ing Commodore Conner made his last signal— Commo- dore Perry commands the squadron.”” Bell and Brown's crafts, (the musquito fleot) which anchored close to cach other, began to smell powder—the men waved their caps, aud tho officers eyed each other with evident satisfaction, We kuew that Perry would fight anything, and felt assured of a brush with the Castle, Phe Ohio arrived the next day, and we all felt proud to see this thing of life walk the water On the evoning of the 22d General Scott having planted his mortars, summoned the city to surrender, which was politely rejected. His batteries thenopens 1. and Bell and Brown went in and took a position ju it within rango of the long guns of tho Castle, butfrc n which they could throw their shells into the city. 10 you understand what | mean by Bell und Brown? W1 y, the Spitfire, Vixen Bonita, Reefer, Petrel, Falcon, aad Tampico, all built by Bell and Brown of New York—the flying artillery of the squadron, and as the little brats generally move together, we familiarly call them Bell and Brown. Bell and Brown then went in and took a raking posl- tlon, on the evening of the 92nd, and fired away until it was quite dark, doing great damage to the poor devoted town, When we stopped firing, Capt. Tatnall, who com- mandod the expedition, got all the captains on board his vessel, (the Spittire,) and they concluded to stand up boldly the next morning {u front of the town, and draw the fire of thu Castle. We thought some of us must this time, At early daylight, we got under woigh, The Castle soon opened on us, as did also the guns of the city. The shells burst under us, over us, and all around us—such a row—but Bell and Brown was still there, and for the space of one hour, did these small vessels stand the fire of the second strongest fortress in the world. It sounded vory like Alvarado, only the enemy threw sheile inatead of shot, Commodore Perry had given no order for this attack, and of course could not countenance such a desperate undertaking. ‘Tho gallant sailor, how- over, lot us alone until be perceived tho fun was gotting too hot, he then hoisted the recall, but the signal woulda not be seen for some time, (some of us aro short-sighted) and when it was answered, {t was oboyed slowly—very very tlowly. At length Perry became impatient, and sent his Flag Captain to bring us off. saying those fol- lows will never come out of the fire unlese they are foreed. Capt. Mayo pulled down to usand cheered each vessel aa she came out of action; of course we all re- turned the compliment, and soon reached the anchorage at Saerificiog, feeling woll pleased with our day's work Talk of the Impregnability of 8.

Important Proceedings in the Legislature. ‘The judicial distriots have come to be the great fenture of legislative dispute and objurgetion, and passiongse discussion. A matter which ought not to occupy the at- tention of the legislature two entire days, has beon agi- tated several weeks by private committees, untilat length the pride of party and the power of gold have put fur- midable difficulties in the way of the adjustment of this important question, Verily it isa pity that virtue and sagacity should not be prominent principles in the hu- man character; through the absence of these attributes, how many woful koells of justice and harmony have been rung in Christendom. ‘The Senate, this morning, received a mensago from the Hi , conveying the information that the House ‘in- ail upon the ultimatum for the division of the Statu into judicial districts, which I sent you yesterday. ‘I'he House insisted upon this ultimatuin last evening, by a vote of 6: 34. Mr. Jonson, the chairman of the last Senate Confer- ence Committeo upon this question, immediately rose, upon the announcement of the message from the House, and moved that the Senate “ adhore”’ to the Senate bill. Mr. Jones moved to amend the motion; be moved that the Senate do “ insist’ to the bill. Mr. Fo.som said it would be an act of absurdity, not to say of madness, to refuse to organize those districts! What, sir! shall wo have no courts? Shall we have nothing to regulate society? Already curtain portions of the State, even with courts in exisiency, are cursed by anarchy; and, if the proposition of the Senater from Delaware (Mr. Johnson) is acceded to, the entire State will be subjected to like evils. Sir, 1 go for compromise ; 1 go for concession on bo . Tbelieve we are ap- roaching au cra when the present state of parties will be lost melt of; and when we see old “ Rough and Rea- dy” a candidate for the Presidency, | hope the whole people will sustain him. Sir, [hope to see another com- mittee of conference pointed to effect an amicable ad- justment of this question ; I ain, therefore, opposed to ‘the motion of the Senator froin Delaware, (Mr. Johnson,) and I will vote — it. Mr. Forsom having set down, Mr. Ira Harris got the floor of the Senate, and uttered several pruvient com- mon-places, presumed to be in vindication of the House bill and the refinement of the House committee. Sir, (said Mr. H,,) it is nothing more than political considerations whieh actuate those gentlemen, (the de- mocrata of tho Senate Conference Committee.) sir, let this subject be considered irrespective of party considerations ; any candid man would consent to di- vide the districts equally between the parties. And what ia proposed by the Senate bill? It proposes to give the party to which | am attached, only two of the d tricts; and bere we have a committee of conference, pertinaciously insisting upon having six of the districts Now I submit that no Senator can be justified before the tribunal of his own conscience, in adhering to an ar- rangement so entirely illiberal. 1 warn Senators, that the tribunal of public opinion will not i under the miserable that the comp districts will pot be preserved by the House bill iw no way by which this duty can be accomplished, 2: cept by the present Legislature ; there is nothing in- volved in the question, but whether the fourth district shall be whig or democratic; and now, I hope Senators will reflect before they insist upon this bill } Mr. Bartow said the Senator last up (Harrie) Las shown that the whole aim of his colleagues is to secure half the judicial districts; has not the Senator shows that he is solely governed by political cousiderations?— Nothing else under heaven influences his action! Sir, wehave no scruples in putting oustitution under our feet if we avow such sentiments! | say ere and there is an end of it; the people will reach the proper motives of every one of us, and | will abide the leat, Sir, does not that Senator know that if one dis- trict Js changed, nil the others niust be changed in order to preserve the ratio of population: sir, (+nid the Senator with emphasis, | say adhere and let's see what the re- sult will be. Mr. Joes said he hoped the Senate would not adhere. because «ich an act would preclude all compromis under a rule of the Senate the bill would be lost, if th adhere; he hoped new committees of confereueo would be appointed, and he bad no doubt that committees of tho right calibre could effest a compromise, Mr. J. proceeded to sualree the motal of which the conference committees hitherto appointed were compos. ed, and he arrived at a complaisant conclusion, that they were compounds which could not be mixed by auy sori of possibility; he hoped, therefor, that committoos of different moral and physical characteristics would be appointed. wiessrs, Van Scmoonnoven and Tatcort finished the oxciting and interesting debate, Mr. falcott is an ho- nest goutleman, und was a inember of tho last sunate Conference Committee. ‘The entire seasion was occu. pied in the debate, and the Sonate adjourned without Voting upon the question "Lhe bill for the organization of the Supreme Court is complete, and will be reported to the Senate very soon the country {8 indebved to Chancellor Walworth for much of thy profound judiotal talent which this bill will evince; Mr, Walworth has been frequently consulted by the senate Judiciary Comittee, and he bas copstautly advised and agvinted the committee ‘A beautiful sword s al out to be presented to Goneral Worth; funds are now —_ subscribed in this city to purchase the sword: it will be of the very best quality; ne hundred and tifty dollars wore subscribed yester- iy Lieut, Divver, of the dragoons, is reerulting for the service in this city; | uaderstand he hae had rome seve: ty applications, and be hus accepted only seven mon out the seventy; he is selecting the very best men. 0 citizens of Rochester wre to meet and e congratulations over the receut tr 7 yaior, and the proud success of Alto, Rossa de ia Paluia, Moutevey, buena View, Vorw Crus, aud & Juan de Vine. of a girl five | sete Dining. afine Easter Cavenpan, April 13.—Second Sunday after Easter; asthe St, Murk the Evangelist.third Sunday after Easter.
