e,1 tel it As, From aA& .hTaltoiLCeuitievr THE MEXrCAN WAR. The heroic bearing and gallantry of our~umphtJ1 her thacountry With glory. The noble ,manner in, hich volunteers have offered ikeir services, has attracted the dniiration of.Europe. The vigor and power of a Republican Government have been felt-..n all our operations. Bt -. ngtwithstaAding all this thbre are soine ,questions of domestic policy springing up, connected *ith the erwh~gbge calculated in. their pro, g-ess,.to produde a priofound ib~pression upon our instirtions. - 1 doo her wars the heavy disburse meal Governmient were madein the Nrth nindon tie" Lake frontier ; our fortifcation, harbors and navy, haVe all, beeu built up in.the North. Thissuade a constant drain,' whilst we felt the operation in nothing but taxatioa *ithout any return. In the presnt. wdr, all this is eversed, and w.o wili'se :the effects in exchanges,,efing in fabor of New-Orleans. The spec ie funds requi red .fur goernet4 .will ~force .the current in that rdrection. 'This 'will be sevorely felt, and will produce great opposition amongst, those. who have heretofore received all the benefits of Government. Besides, every battle fought in Mexi-. co, and every dollar spent there but Isures the acquisition, of Territory wnicai must viden the field of Southern. enterprise and polverlin.the future. And tie final result will-be to readjust the wholi balanceaf- powerin the confed cracy, so as to give. us control over the operations of the Government in all, time to come. If the South be but true to themselves, the day of our depressiun and sufTeiing is gone and gone forever. This is perceived in other ,quarters, and the danger now is from such a combination at the North as may over awn the Administration and Congress. A combination may.be made upon thu phinciple of opposition to the Mexican war upon anti-slavery feeling, and in favoor of restoring the high tariff under a pretext to meet the increased expen ditures of Government. It is this .that has swept Pennsylvania and Ohio in the recent elections, nod it may do the saiie in New York and Maine. If the Democratic patty :be _overthrown in those States itkwill .bring, into power a stng combination deeply hostile to the South.

He has come up most manfully to our aid in this important matter, and his remarks are well worthy of t be attention of every enlightened member of the Legisla ture, who feels his responsibility to his State. The brat great duty of every free State is to educate its citizens at whatever cost, and that State has not properly performed that great duty, which numbers among its voters 20,000 unable to read' oi write ; and neither labor nor cost should be spared to wipe away this disgrace. "Impossible !" once said Mirabeau to one of his secretaries, "never name to me that beast of a word." The same senti ment should animate our legislators, for in ao holy a cause as that of.bringihg. light to the darkened intellects of' their fellow citizens, their af'orts, if inade with the fitting energy ia the- proper spirit, must succeed-at least, the great interests in volved imperiously require of them-totn@Ie the trial.-', This is. no question of policy or expeliency, but of urgent necessity, and duty; let them act, and not only talk about It. We have high hopei of'this Legislaiure. As.a celebrated physician once tried sue. cessfully the experiment of restoring the worn out energies of an enfeebled-patient by the infusion of youthful and more healthy blood, so our present Legislature has re ceived a strong accession of new members, many of them fresh from the halls of. Col lege, who still'feel the bedefis of the in struction they have recently received, and who. if they will otly exert their energies in tiis'no.ble cause, may secure tie lasting gratitude of their State.- A more noble field :for exertion never *as presented to any rising body of statesmen, and we ap peal to the Young Men of our State- to press forward this great reform, if their older and more politic brethren .will give it up in despair. . We intend no reflection on forer Legislatdies, which have elurred' over all: proposed amendments as visionary or impracticable.. but we know the influence exerted upon the strongest~minds .by iodg continued habits ,of thinking, and therefore earnestly entreat those as yet unbiassed, seriously to meditate some plan for the in-. tellestual redemption of Souil Cardlia.
