bad foreeeea the tremeadoua evita it must of ne
cessity inflict on our institutions. Unless the de.
fenaive line which lie suggested altonld be adopted,
theee evils could not be avoided. There would
then be left no alternative but lo fall in with the
recommendation of the President, aud carry on
the war to Ha termination. He protested against
the subjugation of Mexico, to be he'd aa a pro
vince, or tlie aaneiatioa of ber aa territory tn be
admitted into the aits lea of the Union. As ex
perience had taught, it would require the constant
presence of a standing army of 40,000 men te
keep her ia tranquility and submission; and, as
Statea of this Union, we could never admit an In
dian and mixed-Mood population to an equality
aud associatiou with our free white citizens.
There waa, iu Mr. Cs opiuioii, not the smallest
chance to disentangle ourselves from the difficulty
we were iu, except to take a defensive line to
take indemnity into our owa hands. When the
war was declared, he would have proposed, if
lime had been allowed, to limit our efforts tb de
fence. He would now propose to fall back upon
a line he would not say what one. He would
withdraw our troops from (be centre of Mexico.
We were now tied to a dead corpse, aud he would
gel rid of it. Our true policy was equity, forbear
ance, justice, and magnanimity. We must await
events. We1 ntta avoid ware and conquest. This
waa not the first time he had raiaed his voice
sgint war. He bad the satisfaction, standing
alone, efoppeing tlie preposition of tien. Jackson
lo issue letters of reprisal against France. He
warned genllemea that, if I hey went en ia this
career nf war and debt, they would seal the death
warrant of the eouNtitulion. Free trade would be
come hut a mere name. High taxatiou of every
kind would be inevitable. All the cardinal prin
ciples of the administration would be reversed, and
we should have debt, high tariffs, ami piper mo
ney.' He appealed to his friends of llie adminis
tration side for lie considered them his friemls
to retrace their steps. Retraction would cnafer
on them the liigliest honor. He appealed to gen
tlemen oa the ether side, who were responsible for
this war in some measure ant by voting te relieve
Taylor, but by voting money to gel territory which
Ihey did tool intend to accept to take a diflVrent
course, and te agree to a defensive line. He would
rentiud gentlemen of that side that the public
se ass the general voice of the country called
fir some territorial indemnity; and it was idle to
resist it. He should not now propose anything;
Wit if he found that lie would be supported, be
would propuae to construct a committee lo con
sider what would be the best defensive line, and
who wen Id avail themselves of the opportunity,
fortunately presented, of consulting officers of the
army now in this city "
We see it elsewhere stated,-that Mr Calhonn
declared, thai, though we had acquired military
glory enough in the last eautiwiKii, we had lost
caste ia other resHels in the eyes of foreign ua
jioiia; we were considered more oppressive, more
grasping in onr views. Thai we were no nearer
peace, but in fact our difficulties were greater than
they were. Thai the uexl catiiHaign will cost
sixty millions of dollars: and if we waut to borrow
forty millinsAnly, we shall scarcely get it at more
than 90 per cent.
Tlie Union is very much worried at Mr. Cal
lionu's course. "There were hopes, (it says.) that
he would support the war and the administration "
There waa one chimera, (it adds,) which afiected
the whole of hia argument. He is alnnned at lh
prospect of annexing the w!iole of Mexico lo tlie
United Stales, with a population of seven or eight
millions of people, who are nufil le participate in
the benefit of our free iustilulious. Tlie Presi
dent has particniarly disclaimed each a aclietue.
Ne iiienilier of CiHigress has avowed it. There is
jraartare as V.rgiwHi and Maryland and Ken toe y
are baraaaed by Feamyrvaaia and Obio.
On the whole, this letter of ties. Case seems to
be a eowsiagly devised and adroitly executed
trick, to deceive the South iota hiasapport for the
Presidency. The Locofoe papers here will point
to the Southern phase of thin teller, and keep en
tirely out of view iul Nenltera phase, together with
bis speech and his vote, aad tlie addition of solemn
reenlnlioiia by the Legislature of bio own Slate,

the Wilmot Proviso. We are glad to eee, how

be acquired with laws in force against slaver)-,
which law cannot be abrogated but by tlie enact

cannot be obtained
5lh. Because, further, the cheapest labor will
always find the readiest market, and the labor of

Mr. Dallas have entered iuto a compromise, by
which their united strength ia te be marshalled in

Vice President for another term. Until this ar
rangement was made, they were both, as well as
Mr. iiwehanan, rival candidates for the Presiden
cy. Now they will hath work together le defeat
tbe nomination ef Buchanan.
Almost simultaneously with Ihn arrangement,
Mr. Cass has written a letter to a gentleman in
Tennessee en tlie Wilmot Proviso, snd, as the
emergenry was pressing, he does nut even wait
for tbe letter to reach llie individual lo whom it ia

It is important here to recall the fact, lhat at
Uie eessiim ef Congress in 1 446 Gen. Cess voted
ft Ih Wilmutt Prwvim. And that at the last
Session he declared, in a long speech, that he still
adhered to the principle of that Pierian, lie now
says that he is "ttrmmgly impressed teith the opia
tes" that "a great change has been nnd is still
going on" in kit own mimd end that of others, iu
regard to the measure. What has effected this
change? We might say lhat it is Ihe hope of 1
catching Soutliera Locofoco votes for the Presi
dency, which no voter for the Wilmot Proviso
could hope fur unless by throwing dine, in the eyes
of the people. But on scanning closely his letter,
we find that after all no change has taken place
in his own mind, ai.d that hia lettrr is but an art
ful attempt to produce the impression without the
reality. Iu short, a Idler le be read egsinsf the
Wilmot Proviso at the 8oith, and for the Wilmot
Pro view, frmctimlly, at the North.
He says, for instance, that llie principle of llie
Wilmot Proviso (for which, aa we have stated, he
voted and spoke a few months ago.) should be
kept out of Congress, and left le llie people in
their respective local governments. This is a tnb
Jfut thea, he further says.
that the territories should have, and do have, Ihe
right to determine for themselves this question
whether or not they will tolerate slavery. And
this is for the North: for he well knows, that if
any part ef Mexico be anaexed and formed into
territories, the people therein, Is-iug composed of
Indians, Mnlatloes, and .psniarde nf mixed blood.
bavins no slaves, and known to be opuosed to
slavery, will at once determine the question, and
exclude Ihe holders of slaves from any participa
tion ia the territory acquired, which must thus he
settled from the free 8tae. Tlie position, that
the Territories have a right to determine such a
quest ioa for theniselves. is a claim of sovereignly
for the Territories, which is absurd. A Territory
has no right of self-government. Its officers are
appointed by the General Government, its Legis
lators naid bv the same evuerat government, and
( j
its laws approved or rrjecl-fl by the same higher
power. These things are utterly incosaastent with
the idea of sovereignty, and of tbe right to deter
mine whether a Southern man shall or shall not
bo permitted to emigrate thither with hie slaves.
irtlMsMeaoi mr.
th result wiil Inevitably be, lhat from all the ter
ritory which be seems so anxious to acquire from
Mexico, slavery and slsve holders will forever be
excluded.

Aa arbitrator selected by both parties, President
Tyler made ihe allowance of $260, for one year,
viz: from July 143 to July 1844. After that time
the mail waa carried by tbe Com (may mrilhmml amy
contract, the Postmaster General eeatinuing how
ever, to pay the same identical sum of $2C0 a
mile. But, evea if there had been a contract, the
power ia expressly reserved to tho Postmaster
General, in all ooiUrneta, to aaaul them at hia
pleasure. When such a power ia reserved, with

Thai earns compensation bad been paid from

would be variation of law! At that time (July
1st) the contract expired; llie company, however,
had continued to carry the mail without a specific
agreement. At the expiration of lhat quarter,
namely, en the 1st t)clober, Ihe Postmaster ,en
eral refusing le pay the price authorized by joint
resolntiou of Congress, and reducing the compen
sation from $2UU to $237 50 per mile, hy rail
road, and from 237 50, about 12 per cent, by
steamboat, Ihe company gave him notice that
they could not contract for the service at that rule;
and, on lrh 10th of Ihe present moiA, laying una
ble to conclude any arrangement, they suspended
Ihe service.
Wheu this contract was made, it was tinder a
schedule which required the company to perform
the trip between thia city snd Richmond in eleven
hntirs and a half; and yet they had actually been
running for the last two years in cotntiaiice with
a schedule which required them to run in nine
hours and a half; and had dots Ibis without a dol
lar's increase of compensation. Rut llie Postmas
ter (ieneral. not content with this, had chosen lo
send the mail by a circuitous route, from this city
tn Baltimore, thence down the hay lo City Point,
thence up the James River lo Richmond, and up
tln Appomatox to Petersburg: making a distance
of near four hundred miles. Instead of one hundred
and thirty miles by the direct railroad and steam
boat route from this city! And by this circnitou
route was the greet Southern mail of the United
States now conveyed; thus seriously affecting so
cial and busines communication, and holding back
for several dave intelligence from the army. In
stead of having reference to the expedition of the
mail, the Postmaster tenenl seemed to be expe
rimenting upon the country, and endeavoring to
show at how slow a rate it could be transported;
for instead of running through ia nine hours and
a half, aa the company had by the direct route for
two or three years, by this ronndahout, uucertuin
route it now took thirty hours; and we had al rea
lly been without a mail in this city from the South
for five days.
Mr. G. further commented at some length upon
the impolicy of suffering such a mail arrangement
to continue, and npon Ihe serious injury to the
community in all its interests resultuig therefrom.
He also condemned tl en the ground oi economy .
and read from a communication of Ihe Poetitinsler
General, shewing thai all he expected te save hy
the change of route was $575 and odd cell l; and
this, Mr. G. said, by discontinuing Uie mail ser
vice between Richmond and the next largest city
in Ihe Stale, Petersburg; without which discon
tinuance, instead of a saving to the Government,
tint cost nf mail transportation by thia change of
route would actually be increased about $1,000.
He contended that the' Postmaster General waa
not restricted, as ho seemed to imagine, except
that he should not pay more than three hundred
dollars per mile. Within lhat sum the Postmas
ter General had a discretion, and that amount he
was not asked nor expected 10 pay. He wss asked
ouly lo give that which had beu already paid,
and which had been awarded to tlie Company by
tb Presideut of the United Stales snd hy Con-
mm n . . . . i t : I r
gress. 1 ne rosmasier unirm nuiiwii o" "v
knowledged that the service un the Potomac was
satisfactorily erformed. He had also admitted
that llie service by the Bay could not In- as satis
factory as by the railroad aud steamboat on the
old route; and yel, with these facts before their
eyes, they were to sasjlain great inconvenience
unless tlie company woumi ne content n receive
leas than a fair compensation, which had been
heretofore paid to them. Thia great nation, aud
the interests of tweuty millions of people, were to
be trifled with for a paltry saving of a lew hun
dred dollars.
Within the last few davs he had learned mat a
merchant iu Richmond, having to remit $50,000
to New York, felt compelled lo withdraw that
amount from h business two days sooner inaa ne
would have been required to de if tins mail were
transported by tho milroosL And what was their
owa experience on this subject? Why, tip to lest
night, they had not received a mail rsnnglidings
from their hrnnes for fire dsys. He l"d on

his absence from this Hon, that be bad been to
Richmond lo get hie letters .

A M'xiem Committion We are indebted to

eninmissioii of an officer in Ihe Mexican army
was mailed to its ironi l-toiaNnormigh. It ts
printed on very course paper, and embellished
with two engravings, in keeping with the paper
It appears to have been issued in .183C, to Jose
Maria Soxia.
At first we thought it might be fmm Santa
Anna, who had made a mistake iu sending it to
our adrresa, but who bad intended lo send a full
commission to our neighbor of the Observer, se
itig he has been fighting under the Mexican flag
at home, anxious In show him that Ihe service
was appreciated. But probably the Maviianimous
Mexican nation baa not yet heard of the labors of I
its particular friend. North Carolinian.
No, we presume that the Mexican Nation never
heard of the Observer, either as friend or enemy.
But we presume also, that the Mexican commis
sion, (like the John Dan key,) found its appropriate
quarter. We account fur it thus: Satita Anna
may have heard of a certain correspondence be
tweeu a certain Captain Wm. H. Bayne (the
Editor of the Carolinian.) aud President Polk,
(Santa Anna's friend,) in which the Captaiu-Editor
aforesaid offered the services of himself and his
whole company to go to Mexico ami fight that
natiou. This was before the war broke out, (and
wheu many peole supposed there was se dmmger
of it hremkimg out.) Well, the war came on, mf
terwordo, and ihe Captain-Editor bmektd out.
He didn't go to Mexico. Santa Anna, doubtless
knowing how full of fight the said Captain-Editor
was, and seeing that he hud not gone, took it fur
granted that some sufficient cause (perhaps an
order of President Polk,) had kept him away; and
that aa Polk had sent hiiu. (.Santa Auua.) lo Mex
ico, to head her armies, and defend her against
Taylor and Scott, he would do a further kindness
in sending another great General iu the person of
Captain Bayne. And so he sent the commission.
We are not acquainted with the Spauisli language,
but presume that Jose Maria Soxia means Wil
liam H. Bayne aud we think it sounds decidedly
better iu Spanish than ia English.

It is apprehended that Ihe prospects of Ihe flour
and grain markets will he materially affected by
lbs resumption of the aliiling scale of duly on tlie

notice. After that time the dirty on wheat will
vary from 4a. to 1 Us. per quarter, and UKn flour

and fall nf the market Indian corn (now free)
will be subject to a duty of la. per quarter, and
meal to 6d per barrel.
Tlie French steamer Union, for whose safety
much anxiety was felt, put back to Fit i ice on Ihe

Mexicans had been arrested for murdering one 01
the Arkansas cavalry. Not having sufficient evi

eight men 10 be selected fmm the crowd, fe of
whom Were to be okot unless they would name the
iinfrderer. Accordingly they mad" a sort of lot
