SAMUEll IV i ' l: . . 4 This oflTccr is one of those rare spirits which l' .1 ...r.i - 1! 1 ifiipneu anu suppucu wmi every reipusiic, uuu that they displayed much skill and hrmncss in action. General Vega, now here, says that the charge made by the dragoons iunder Captain May, and the consequent capture of the Mexi can! artillery, saved the. American Army. Thf'so guns werenot only advantageously post ed, but had a breastwork thrown up, with a ditch in front , of it- in fiict an actual battery. So sooii as Gen. Taylor perceived r J he nleupto Cat. M. and told him he must take it at any cost ; and off he dashed, at the head of three troops of dragoons, going ward likq a tornado, bounding over ditch, breastwork! and every thirjg else that came in his way, followed by the fiftljlnfuntry, in full run, who nobly supported hiui, althou"hf of course the horses' heels out- stripped them in the race. Une olj the publish ed accounts states that ahe Mexicans subse quently remanned these guns ; but; 1 learn this was: not the case, as the fifth regiment followed so cjose that they prevented it, arid tho Mexi cans! never again fired these guns, land they re mained in our possession. Eighteen of the dra gooris, amongl them the first Lieut, of May's troop, fell or were dismounted by thirfire rnthe charge. A simultaneous cheer rangthrough the ranks as they saw thodragoons so gallantly dash overjthe breastwork, and, as one letter express es it " right through the Mexicans like a streak of lightning." j Capt. May himself killed three Mexicans in the charge, and personally made Gen, Vega his prisoner. So advantageously was I this battery posted, one letter says, that, had, it not been immediately silenced, it would in a! short time have made sad havoc in our rank's, and the;sudden fall of two or threo hun dred of our men under its fire might have made a very unhappy result ; as it was, it never fired but one round. The poor benighted creatures,'' 1 suppose never dreampt of dragoons storming a,batery. Another striking feature in the bat tle, and at which, General Vega has expressed great surprisc,Hvas tho manner in j which our artiljcry was manoeuvred and served ; the ce. Icritjr and precision of its fire was subject of general remark and admiration ; one portion of itdaihed forward with the horses at top speed agaijist a body of Mexican. infantry, and before tho latter had hardly time to sec what it was or make any movement, they had halted, the hbrsbs were detached, the gun unlimbcred, and pouring in the grape wilh such rapidity and ef fect that tho Mexicans broke at once under the fire, t - ' " !

Times of the 15th of May,- in reviewing this subject, says :- xii i ' ; 1 : " The sligliit'difierence lK?tween the two ferainrhes of Congress, as lb frm expression to be employed in authorizing the President of thp United States to give notice for thel;termination of the Oregon Convention has terminated as; we; iad anticipated.1 The point (wan one. of no real interest or importance. We are less concern ed with the form in which the Congress may address the Presidentahan with that in which hePresiilentmay ad dress the British Government, and whether the resolution t was courteous or peremptory, it! could nll'ord us no just cause of confidence or of complaint. To a certain ex tent indeed, these resolutions do iinpose upon the Presi dent the duty and necessity of negotiation arid ijcoih'pro mise. and so far they afford him' sufficient pretest for de parting from the intractable viewts he has himself express- i ed on former occasions. Dut the nature ot the negotia tion and the terms of the comprpmise rest wholly with die Executive Governments of! the two State? and the opinions which have hitherto ben expressed in Congress can have onlvan indirect influence' on the settlement of the question. dieir forcifni policy and their military establishments have pot moved jwri jhtsxu and they have yet to learn ihaj State can annex"ppv'nces and imjtose peremptory conditions upon its neiglJors, without accepting the great and permanent burdens of standing armies and un iriense -arsenals. The United States come into the field not only with a volunteer army and a ijeet manned in part by foreign ers, but with a blighted credit. Long before a cannon is fired, and whilst war is still no more than a remote con tingency, they n:ay discover that the pecuniary transac tions of the last few years between America and Europe have done more to lessen their power than the defeat of an army or the destruction of a Heet. What power has Mr. Polk of contending against I'iflicalties of finance ag gravated an' hundred fold by the jwist policy and present attitude of his Government ? Already we understand that his views upon the tariff, which might have given a permanent and pacific lustre to his administration, have been abandoned, or at least postponed doubtless because they involve sacrifices of revenue which it is absolutely impossible t6 moke. And if the United States are to make preparations, even fbr the defence of their own ter-' The lLondon iritories. at all in proportion to the arrogance of the lan- gaage in which some ot their representatives tpeak ot the territories of other States, the Cabinet of Washington must have in preparation some considerable financial ex pedient which will reveal their designs to the world, and their weakness to themselves." t This is public opinion as shadowed forth by thfc leading press of Europe, and is worth the careful attention of all.

We have long foreseen 1 hat ibefor the storm which seemed to be gath ering in the horizon over the coagtiof Oregon could burst, the peace of the 5orth American .continent might be, in terrupted by the eflects of the annexation of Texas and the continual outrages offered by j the Cabinet of i Wash ington to the Mexican Governmenit.l ' These anticipations have probably been already fulfilled!. There is eU-ry ap pearance that the claim ot General -Taylor to extend the frontier of Texas to the Rio Grande, without any Con vention or agreement with Mexico 'as to the boundaries of the new Statei would be resisted by thef Mexican forces. The final withdrawal of Mr. SlidelMrom the territory of .the Republic would be takeri asa'prpof that the frontiers ot lexas were to be settled by foeeet; and we have great reason to believe that this suspension of intercourse will be followed by. measures of violence on the part of the American Government, both on Jhe frontier of Texas and on the coast of the Pacific. It s possible ihat Mr. Polk may think it safer and more jopportunellie passions he has raised, by a bold stroke against another of the most important provinces of Mexico than by ruHhing in to a hostile collision with England ;jand if arty incident should lead to a declaration of war gainst Mexico, the seizure of Port St. Francisco and Upper California wu be considered all over the Union as a suflicient pretext for adjourning the discussion of the Oregon convention. The fieneral impression produced in jNew York! by the last mreiugence trom me soum was.ini.ti war uau cum nienced ; and the excitement which followed was aggra vated by the opinion that the European Powers would in- terfcre to support an independent Government in Mex ico under a monarchical constitatibnl , It is needless to revert to the observations we havej njade on more than one-occasion on this subject, unlesp itj be to repeal the as surance, that if ever a monarchy is-e-festablished in Mex ico, it must be by the will of the people of the Country, not by foreign : interference. Bui the attention this scheme has attracted! in America has1 proved a powerful diversion from the Oregon controversy and, iffwe are not mistaken, Mr, Polk will find that, before he pursues that subject, all his resources will Be?reqaiied for? the de fence of Texas and the projected attack on Mexico itself at such a crisis but the most accredited opinion seems to be, that if Paredes is unable to maintain himself, Sali va; Anna will be j recalled, and invested with dikatorial powers. ; ! j i j. " We abstain 'from-offering an opinion as to the course 'which it may be incumbent on thie country to pursue in the event of hbstilitieis between Alexico and thei United j IS IT PATRIOTIC ? The present contest for the Gubernatorial Chair, presents th? singular spectacle of one of the Candidates canvassing popular favor, by at tacking popular interests. The State owns one Rail Road, and has ', 8000,000 of Stock iu the other. And Mr. Shepard has made these Roads the unceasing theme of the bitterest dentincia tiohs. He proclaims wherever he goes, that tho Raleigh Road is not worth a dollar, and that tho whole of the Wilmington Road will in ten years bo covered with old field pines. What pleasure can any true hearted son of North Car. olina take in decrying her public works ? Why should it give him pleasure to ride them and i-ide them to death and after that, preach a funeral sermon over' them, as he did at flills. borough? Is it nothing, that transportation by the hundred, which under the old system was one dollar and a half, is now reduced by Rail ivuao 10 Miy uenis j is mat oi no DeneJiLto the community ? Is it nothing, that the Raleigh Road has for the first four months of the State's ownership paid eight percent, on the purchase money, over all expenses ? Is it of no public 1 benefit, that produce can now be transported, not only wilh little more than one-third of the former cost, but so expeditiously as to take ad vantage of tho rise and fall of the market ? Is it nothing to the public, that those whose busi ness or pleasure calls them abroad, can now accomplish in a few hours, what was before the wearisome labor of days ? But if these things were nol so would it be wise or patriotic, especially in one who aims to be Governor, to decry our public Institutions, to render them as worthless as possible, by ex citing and arraying against them popular hos tility? If the bargain were a bad one, would it not be prudent to make the best of it ? Whv should the Road be abused, denounced, crippled in its action, thwarted in its honest endeavors to sustain itself, and prove, so far as may be, a public blessing ? Is it right thus to depress the resources of the State to mock at her want of wisdom, in making these investments, in which, if she was mistaken, shov cried by the side of many piudent and good men, who individually proved their sincerity by planking tbo cash almost to their ruin? Why move Heaven. and' earth, to prove that the good old North State, our mother, is hopelessly insolvent ? Why not cheer her on in her honest endeavors to extri cate herself and her sons from the serious diffi culties in which she has unfortunately beccme entangled ? Is it wise in War, to withhold sup plies ? to refuse to furnish the resources neces sary to carry it on ? What would now be thought of the Whig party in Congress if they should pursue this suicidal course, because they do not approve the action of President Polk in provok ing the War ? Is it any more patriotic to at tempt to cut off the resources by which our State the matter called for J that, body jirn surprcSe'd. Parts of . the official docu ments ofthe Mexican government are sup planted by stars, and some that would crim iffatc Polk, in regard to the position he has Takicn, appear in the original Spanish.: . Mr. iSitdell, in a. letter to Mr. Uuchanan dated Mexico, Dec. 17, states that objec tions were niised against his credentials I because he was not confirmed by the Sen- atej ftnl IDai iuexicu wjmicu a uommiss ionernii a Minister, and complains that he ss addressed in his official enpaci ty. j This' is;, an important document, beciushj it was1 the latest from Mr. Slidtdl, when the army was ordered to march to the;Rid Grande. This is mutilated with stars, and the people are not trusted with thdispatches of their own Minister. , i We are fallen upon the strange times, when ajepublican people, arc professedly jealous of their rights, thus submit to ex ecutive dictation and controlment without beirfg permitted to know the secret cause of this usurpation, or having imparted to them facts that would vindicate or con demn the conduct of their public servants. In a letter from Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Slidell.an. 28, he tells the latter to wait till the government of Parades refuses to receive him ; when the final refusal was received he was to demand his passports and sfiys : it will then become the duty of tHe President to submit the whole case to Congress. Bnt this duty was not performed ; for the president did not make known the fi nal refusal of Mr. Slidell's demands for passports, till the 1 1th of May ! ! We have not snace o notice thr whnlt of thesejl documents. liet it suffice, that wcre opposed ;to t every dispatch that might throw any light upon the unfortunate if not criminal man agement of our public men is filled with stars, and the reader is Ieit uninformed of all the most important matter that might enable him to judge of the capacity or in tegrity of those engaged in these affairs. We notice one matter which glaringly exhibits the characteristic duplicity ofthe administration. On the 20th of January one week after the army was ordered to the Itto Grande, the Washington Union congratulates the country on his confirm ation, on account of the great good he will accomplish. " Much," says the Union, " will depend on him much on the suc cess of his negotiations. We are happy, therefore;! to announce his confirmation in this evening's paper." Will the reader please to mark this? The Editor ofthe Union was happy at the prospect pf accommodating matters, one week after the army was ordered to tho Rio Grande, and Mr., Polk says it was not ordered there till all hope of the re-cognition-of our Minister by the Mexican Government, had dissipated. If the American people, aye, even the Democratic Party can stand this, we shall almost be; tempted to paraphrase a scrip tural sentence for their consideration and edification : "Surely the people is" an ''TRIP AY i:v 3 WUlia- OVA 57 We a re p j Turner, a. a gust election.
