' Into hese boxes they would dip the brush, (sometimes as ma ny as .three at once,) dripping with the salivary fluid, by which means the snuff is taken up and conveyed into that opening in our heads, which is known by that appropriate name of the mouth ! where it is rubbed, sucked, and rolled, as a " sweet morsel ;" until the strength is ex tracted, which is retained, or ejected aa the taste of the fair one dictates.

Some Locofoco editors are laboring to make it appear that England is adopting ihefreeltrade system I This is altogether ideal, fabulous, and untrue, if it is meant indiscriminate free trade. England studies her own interest just about as well as any nation on the face of the earth. If she, by removing the tariff on those articles which she cannot produce at home, (and it is only on such,) and by piling it up on those articles which she can produce within herself. thereby serves her own' interest, can it be said she is pursuing that liberal policy of Free Trade, so highly praised by some politicians? There seems to be various opinions relative o the course which Mexico will pursue in con sequence of Ithe passage of the resolution for the annexation of Texas. Some think she will not resent it others that she will. Some think "she will suffer herself to be mollified by mo iiey" ; others that she wiU regard it as an act bf war on our part, and will treat it as such. At present all is uncertain. Gen'l. Almonte, the Mexican Minister, was still in New York at the latest accounts, waiting for the sail of a ship, to convey him home, when the proceed ings of our Congress will be officially laid be fore the gorernmeBtof JVfexico. The following important paragraph is from. the Washington Madisonian, the other papers there, and further North, know nothing about the revelation here made. " Unlawful Military Organizations. We have seen some indications of a disposition to revive the project, put upon foot and lemporari. ly overthrown last summer, of forming miliary organizations in the United States, without the kvarrantof law, for a 'Texas Expedition.' This project wc denounced last summer, as uncon: stkution, impolitic, and fraughrwith danger.- Let it not be revived. It will only cripple the measure of annexation. We must have Texas by fair means only, and without the assistance ot.aFBtirr.

W e may find it necessary to publish it hereaf. ter. "Madisonian. - A writer in the last. National Intelligencer, who signs himself " Spectator," takes pretty strong ground against the New Postage Law. H3 thinks the new rates will be inadequate to defray the expenses ofjhe P. O. Department, and that the tariff must be increased to meet the deficit, in which event the burden of sup porting the mails will fall with equal weight on those who enjoy its benefits and those who no-J ver send or receive a letter or package by them. If bis premises should prove correct, his con elusion must be. Mr. Stewart, of Pennsylvania, informs us, in' a late speech in Congress, that we possess up wards of ten hundred inillionsof acres of public lands. What need have we of more ?
