' t ull ppear;.from his lofty declam atior thar'iiearely .endeavoring to excite isis n aitf aggression on general Taylorsrny . is possible that lie does wish to winalaurel crown; but we shall be much disappointed in: our notions of the character of that. gallant chief, and the mongrel race he commands, if his high :sounding declarations and-fervent addresses do not, in the end, turn out tobe all bluster and' no blood. The course he,.is. pursuing though, is well calculated to ruble the spirits of our aoloiers, and to inflame them..to acts of hostility; when he may be very unpreired to meet such an event. Tha very factof pointing his guns at general Taylor's men.-when they were opposite Matamoros,an~d while they were on the north batik of the Rio Grande, was a sufficient provocation to have justified iiit general in immediately attacking the town and giving him battle. We are glad to learn, that th'ough our troops did not fire up on the enemy, they yet had the uanhood to stand their ground. It was circulated through the papers, that when the Mexicans made de monstrations of fight, the United Sttes army was ordered to take its station lower down the river. That report has been contradicted by the latest acnonuts. The behaviour of the Mexican government towards our Minister too, was almost a snff cient cause for the commencement of hostilities against that republic; and was such an act, as by a jealous nation, might have been construed into an actual declaration of war. We have now; we have had, and we may continue to have manifold causes of complaint against the Mexican nation-we have manifold grounds for an open rupture with that people-we have many wrongs done to individuals, and wrongs done to our government, which are yet unaton ed, for and unredressed. But notwithstanding all these serious piovocations,and notwithstan'd tug all these repeated indignities, which would fully justify us in an appeal to the sword, we sincerely desire, if there be any honorable way left us to avoid it. that we may not he brought into.collision with Mexico at this time. We differ from many of the editors of the South. -We do not wish a war with Mexico Though the Mexicans are a eavngo, insolent and cowardly race. yet we do not court a strife with then. We pity them. They rougit to excite our co:npassiou. They are like drown ing men-they are in connusion and dismay. and they are catching at every thing that they think may tLoin:and the r..sp--et or other na tions. nn enable them to preserve somae of the forms of government, and exhibit some of the marks of courage and patrioinsm. Let us not trample npon an enemy that is unale to m-ike resistance. Though insulted, we should dis. dain to seek redress from tin utterly prostrate and powerless adversary. A brave man pities an'impotent foe-the coward and bully insults andsexults over, the weak, the timid, and the unresistitng. If our President is determinied to gpjo war, and if it is absolutely necessary for us to have a war to give vent to the exnberance ofour spirit _let us go to wanrvithEngland. If we,teed blood-letingto prevent inflanuation, let its fight Great Britain-we can find a cause whenever we seek for it. Such a contest, if it would not be an evidence of our prudence, would at least be anevidence of our valor; and wve ane vain enongh to sup~pose, that some glo ry might be acquired in astrife, even with tihe mistress of the seas. Te souls of a brave and gallant soldiery wouldsicken at the thoughts of fighting the poor, ignorant tndiscplin~ed Mex icans. Let England and other European na tions, oppress the weak. and plunder their towns and cities, and reduce their inhautants to slavery; ours .will be a higher and a tnobi.-r atm, to protect, and encourage, and animate the down-trodden and the dispirited-to bear with the infirwitiesdinseparable from their condition, atnd wvhen fighting must be- done, to tight and to conquer nations, over which we could be proud to gain a victory. H onora ble men have an abhorence for a war, in which a triumph would beca disgrace, anid in which theeconque~r er could have nothing to inspire themn in bat tid, but thne hopes of the plunder ofdefenceless cities. Some 'contend that the Mexicans are not weak, but from all present appeurances. and from what has been exhibited by that peoople for the last eight or ten years, such a notion is perfectly absurd and ridiculous. The State of Georgia alone, if she would act with half her native vigor, could overrun and subdue the whole republic of Mexico. That imbeeile na tion was for several years at war wvith a few half famished Texiarns, and aller all its splendid parade, and gorgeous exper~diture of bombast, was completely utnable to reduce this misera ble handful of men to submission. It us in such a state ofconmplete bankruptcy and disorganiz arton-that it cannot fight. Trhe bravest people in the world could not fiaht uinder aimilar cir c~umstances. Besides all this-it is confidently. reported, and confidently believed, by every person that has any acquaintance whatever, wvith Mexican affairs, that it will only require a few more weeks to give birth to another ter rible- revolution .in that governmont, which will abolish tine only forms of republicanism which it still cherishes, and extirpate the Iast seeds of that liberty for wvhicithe Mexican peo. pie, in their brighter dlays. most freely expend ed'their treasure and shted their blood. The Oregon Resluions.-Our' readers wil have seen that tihe Rtebolutions of dhe .Senate with regard'to giving the nonice to Great Brit ain of the cessation of the joint occupancy of Oregon Territorythas passed both the Houies of Congress though thney were slightly ametn. ded inhe' Honse of Representatives. After their itnendment in the flouse, they were sent back to 'thieSenate for its concurrence, whmich was-refited; when Committees of Conference wder'e passed to brinig the matter to a poitnt at wldhlrcloetf agree. We supupose there can be tdo doubt at to the success of thne labors of die committees,rand as to the tfrmination of the -The Resolutions, as they passed both branches of the Natibual Legislature, were certainly muost pacific in their aim, and were certainly direc ted to the same point, namelyto a negotiation tion with Great Britain, and an 'amicable ad justmort ofall our difficulties with that gov ernment. Why the Senate and the House should haveldisagreed as to the smallest matters of phraseology, when the great purpose of their resolutions were precisely the sanme we are completely at a loss to understand. Every sober, sensible wan in the nation would have understood the genuine meaning of the reso lutions of both Houses to have been the same. FOR THE ADVERTISER. Messrs. Editors: It has been said that an ounce of preventive is a pound of cure, and there may be as much truth in the adage as is dreamed of in sound philoso phy. But so great is the indifference of men generally, to every thing besides the great topic of making money, that the chief worldly good, health, and the means for preserving it are altogether neglected. We are glad to see our worthy officers of Police engaged in cleaning out our Beaver Dam, (alias Fever Darn,) and in remov ing the rafts and obstructions, to the free passage of the water, which will greatly promote the draining of the low lands, and thus obviate one of the causes of miasmata. As the scarlet fever is at no great dis tance from this, it may also be worth while for our citizens to begin a reform, and at tend to the cleaning out of their lots and yards, and especially the cellars-have all filth and decaying vegetable matter re moved-all manures hauled out, or so covered with earth as to prevent evapnra :ion. Attend to the cleansing of the chil. dren-have them well washed with plenty of clean water, and if this will not do alone, try some soap, and get off all the dirt-keep them and their chahing clean. Have the houses, and especially the sleep ing apartments, well cleansed and ventila ted. attend, also, to the diet of children. Let it he plain milk and bread, allow vege tables or molasses, hut little or no menat keep their bowels in a soluble condition with salts, and try the Belladonna as a preventive. The latter may he had of any of the physicians or druggists. PHILANTHROPY. Messrs.

From the Southern C/hrislian Advocate. TO THE METHODIST OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTH WEST. Dear Brethren.-The position in which we are mutually placed by the Organiza tion of the Southern Conferences into the M. E. Church, South, will probably be a sufficient apology for the liberty I take in thus addressing you. The Southern Conferences having all without exception, ratified the acts of the late Louisville Con vention, and elected delegates to repre sent them in the approaching General Conference, at Petersburg, I way be al lowed to congratulate you on the unex ampled unanimity of sentiment and feel ing with which this movement has been carried through, the peace which pervades the new connection ; and the security and equality of ecclesiastical rights thus effec ted. Southern Methodists now feel that their privileges are not held at the mercy of a wild and wayward fanaticism which makes its caprice and its power the rule of action, and which by mere courtesy al lows slave-holders to continue members of the Church. Itstead of the quad rennial struggle which in former times made the General Conference the arena of strife, and which continually threatened to put the ecclesiastical power in conflict with the laws of the Southern States, and perilled the gospel which it has ever been the peculiar mission of the Southern min istry to preach to the poor ; we now look forward to peaceable sessions where the appropriate work of the Christian minis try will alone claim attention, delibera tion, and action. Will you allow me to express the wish that in hehalf of the approaching General Conference--the first to be held under the new organization, fervent and united prayer way go -up to the throne of the heavenly grace, that God may vouchsafe to the nemhers composing that body, the uncrion rich, and full, and free, of the Holy Ghost, without whose light and aid, nothing gooid can be effected. Send up to the mercy -seat from every family and church-ahtar, and from every closet thro' out our extended Zion, mighty and be lieving prayer that Jesus who bought the Church with His own blood, and who as the great Shepherd of souls careth fur the tiock, may by present in our minds, may preside in our counsels, to enlighten, di rect, and restrain ;--that the deliberations of that body, which must be so influential for good ur evil through all the time to come, it the Church of which it is the hithest council. may in all their issues be for the manifestation of the truth and the advancement of the cause of God among meu. The best abilities and strength of the Church will be found in that assembly; yet our trust is not in an arm of flesh, but in the living God. His presence and blessings will give prosperity, will ensure a successful result to all the measures for the weal of the Church, which may be devised and instituted on that important occasion. And we are confidenttharthe' 1 prayer of faith, presented most humbly but most earnestly, and in the all prevail inig name of Jesus, will secure to us the divine guidance and blessing. Indulge me with the liberty to'add,-that it is most devoutly to be wished' that the conmencement otfour history as an inde pent Church under the exclusive jrisdic tion of a Sotuhten General Conference, may be marked as a- memorable starting poinit in a fresh and glorious career of ho liness and usefulness. Let us labor and look for a large bapuiism of the Holy Ghost; stuch a deepening of the work of grace in the Church as has not hiereture been known. Let preachers and people pray for a muighty and sweeping- revival of re ligion ; seek it from God, through Christ, night uind disy, in solitary atnd in tunited - suppllicatiotn, andh never rest timil-our sta- I tion cii cuits, and dist ricts feel the hallowing influence of the promised Spirit of grace: atnd rejuice in the triumphant march of truth atid holiness over the land. Then, and thten only, shaull we have old-fashion edl, priimitive, geituine Alethodism, when believers are advancing in holiness ;, and sinner; by scores anid hundreds are turninc to God. For this highi and holy end al church-nrganiizut ions should exist. Where this is not accomplished, al- else is vain: -the body has no quickening spivit, no vital, heaver-kindled soul: the cemple has ito ind weiling divinity. I beseech my brethren in the ministry, to seek a freah baptism of the Holy Ghost, to give them selves with redoubled energ'iev to their one great work of calling sintiers to. repent an::e, aiid hbuilding tip believers on their most holy fai' h;--to bestir themselves thatI the blood of situls be not futid upon their garments. Let us girdl ourselves afresh for the duties appropriate to our presett circumtanatces, mainmaintg an unwaverinig ho) alty to Christ, and an unfalterinag faith in God's promises ; atnd looking with cotnfidence to see the work of hoiess increasing and spreading over these South ern lands. And niow that the God of peace may direct and suistain th~e wshole church, mema biership and ministry, in the blessed paths of peace and holiness, and save us all in his heavenly kingdom is the devout prayer of Yours most af'ectionately.] JAMbES 0.

Napolhon Bonaparle.-It will be recol lected by the most of our readers that Napoleon at his death, requested his executor, Genmeral Monuholon, not to' publish the papers which as executor, came into his hands. until 25 years after 'he death of the Em peror-. Those years have noen elapsed, and these inzteresting papers arel now in the coutrse of publiceuion- in Paris, and will soon sme reprinted here.
