The Mexicans were without a head and a leader their array be ing commanded by two men, Ampudia and'Aria ta, the rst of whom was a cowardly poltroon, tn the second, .though believed to be a brave man, was without the talents and abilities neces . aary for a commander. In this state of things, it ia evident, that the greatest boon which could be conferred upon the Mexican nation, was the re- turn of their old leader, and their greatest gener al and most distinguished man, General Santa Anna, then in the Island of Cuba. The Mexi cans turned their eyes imploringly to him, ready to give him the supreme command, as well as the confidence and support of the nation. The humiliating atory is soon told the moral treason is easily developed.

There is another Document, indelible, like the firstras it is also unparalleled, upon our National jannals which all the blood spilt' in Mexico or , whichmay hereafter be spilt in our further con quests all over this continent, will never wash ,. out equally as shameful and degrading to the Democratic head of this Nation. That Mr. Polk entered into . kn .intrigue with Santa Anna,when he commenced the war, is be - jondiall doubt proven, by the documents we quote, although he wisely withholds the corres pondence with Santa Anna -himself. The PASS lie carried, therefore, when he left Havana, may never see the light we believe it never will K be furnished, at least, by Mr. Polk. But we have another PASS, authentic and undoubted, which proves enough-to fix the indelible stigma upon Mr. Polk and his Cabinet' which precious document reads as follows : - Pritale and Confidential.

But such a man has got s very wrong view of the case ; he needs an oppor tunity for more extended ebservation, nd it is per haps for this very reason that a kind providence ar rests him by sickness that bo may learn in pain what he would fail to observe in health. We have seen recently a geod many things said in the papers to wives, especially to young wives, ex posing their faults, perhaps magnifying them, and expounding to them, in none of the kindest terns, their duty and the offices pertaining to a woman's sphere. Nowj we believe that wives, as a whole, are really better than they are admitted to be. We doubt if there can be found a great number of wives who are disagreeable and negligent, without some palpable coldness or short-coming on the part ef their husbands. So far as we have had an opportunity for observation, they are faraore4devoted and faith ful than those who style themselves their lords, and who, by the customs of society, have other and gen erally more pleasant and vatied duties to perform. We protest then against these lectures so often and so obtrusively addressed to the ladieSj-and insist up on it that they must most of them have been writ ten by some fusty bachelor who knows no better, or by some inconsiderate husbands who deserve to have been old bachelors to the end of their lives. But is there nothing to be said on the other side ? Are husbands so generally the perfect, amiable, in jured beings they are so often represented. Men sometimes declare that jtheir wives' extravagance have picked their pocketsthat their never ceasing tongues have robbed them of their peace, and their general disagreeableness has driven them to the tav ern and gaming table, but this-is generally the wick ed excuse for a most wicked life on their own part. The fact is, men often lose their interest in their homes by their own neglect to make their homes in teresting and pleasant. It should never be forgotten that the wife has her rigjtfr-as sacred after mar riage as before and a good husband's devotion to the wife after marriage will concede-to her quite as much attention as he gallantly, did while a lover. If it is other wise,, he is most? generally at fault. Take a few examples: Before marriage a young man would feel sottfe delicacy adout accepting an in vitation to spend an evening in company where his lady-love had hot' been invited. After mrriage.is he always as particular? During the days of court ship his gallantry would demand that he should make himsejlf agreeable to her; after marriage, it often happens that he thinks more of being agreea ble to himself How ofterilt happens that married men, after having been away from home the live long day, during which the wife has toiled at her duties, go at evening te some place of amusement, aud leave her to toil on alone, uncheered and unhap py. How often it happens that her kindest offices pass unobserved, aud unrewarded even by a smile, and her best efforts are condemned by the fault ind ing husband. ; How often it happens, even when the evening is spent at home, that it is employed in silent reading or some other way; that does not recognize the wile's right to share in the enjoyment even of the fireside. Look, 'ye husbands, a moment, and remember what your wife was when yourtook her, not from compulsion, but from jour own choice; a choice based,' probably, on what you considered her supe riority to all others. She was young perhaps the idol of a happy home: she was gay and blithe as the lark, and the brothers and sisters at her father's fire side cherished her as an object of endearment. Yet she left all tojoin her destiny with yoursjto make your Iotm vappy and te do all that womajb'a lovs $oul4 prciaoptiin eumnV ingenuity' devise, te meet your wishes, and to lighten the burdens which might press upon you in your pilgrimage She, of coarse, had her expectations too. She could not entertain feelings which promised sp much with out forming some idea of reciprocation on your part, and she did expect you would after marriage per form those kind offices of which you were so lavish in the days of betrothment. She became your wife! left her own home for yours burst asunder, as it were, the bands of love which had bound her to the father's fireside, and sought no other home than your affections; left, it may be, the ease and delicacy of a home of indul gence and now, what must be her feelings, if she gradually awakes to the consciousness that you love her less than before ; that your evenings are spent abroad ; that you only come home af all to satisfy the demands of your hunger, and to find a resting place for your head when weary, or a nurse for your sick chamber when diseased ? Why did she leave the bright hearth of heryouth ful days? Why did you ask her to give up the en joyment of a happv home? Was it simply to darn your stockings, mend your clotnes, taxe careor your children, and watch over your sick bed I Was it simply to conduce to your own comfort? Or was there some understanding that she was to be made happy in her connexion with the man she dared to ove Nor is it a sufficient answer that youreply that you give her a home ; that you feed and clothe her. You do this for your heaitn ; you wouw ao it tor an indifferent house-keeper. She is your wife, and unless you attena toer wants, and some way an swer the reasonable expectation you raised by your attentions before marriage, you need not wonder if she be dejeeted, and her heart sink into insensibili ty : but if this be so. think well who is the cause of it. We repeat it, very few women make indifferent i WHIC MEETING IN AttSONr ?

It is our candid opinion, that in a large majority of the instances of domestic misery, the man is the aggressor. Hon. Edwakd Everett, in his eulogy on Mr Adams, mentioned the following-striking circum stance: "In November, 1846, while walking with a friend in Boston, Mr. Adams felt a paralytic 6hock. He at once said it was the shock of death. In his journal, he made the entry Fom this day I date my decease. I consider myself, for every useful purpose to myself and to my fellow-citizens as dead.' - His journal," which he had kept for more than fifty years, stopped on that day.

Trist and Pillow. It is not a little curious, that Mr. Polk should stultify himself, by lending to Pillow a letter which Trist wrote home, in con fidence, for Polk's benefit, that he might learn the true character of Pillow in Mexico' He sends this confidential letter from Triat to Pillow. Tiie latter produces it in the Court of lnquiry, where it oiily serves to show, as it does to the public riow it is published, jthat Mr, Polk is guil ty of a breach of confideriiral trusrffiearusted jo Trist and TrisUruiuedi4iqarr 4airo a let ter to Trist, introducing hiuiin6rdial terms to his trusty friend Pllowlphey became very intimate.

In woman, a meek and quiet spirit is pre-eminently lovely and engaging. To the clurms of a beautiful person it is an ornament more graceful and winning than gems and golden attire. Who does not look to woman to keep the public peace, to still the jars ot domestic lite, to calm the agita.' lions Of the church and slate, to subdue the pir. it of war! If our homes are to be made happy, it is by the exercise of this grace. It our church es are to flourish, the meek and quiet spirit of woman must pervade them. It our neighborhoods are to be vocal with kind and loving words and actions, this attainment must be conspicuous in the softer sex.

He was once examining a witness, whose ine briety fthe time to which the evidence referred, it was essential to his client'sfcause to prove. He quickly discovered the- man's character. He was a fellow who may be described as half fooi ish with roguery.' Well, Darby, you -told the truth to this gen tleman!' Yes, your honor. Counsellor O'Connell.'- 4 How da you know my n:me V Ah ! sure every one knows our own palhriol Well, you are a-good-humored, honest fellow ; now tell rue, Darby, did you lake a drop of any thing flut day 1' Why, your honor, I took my share ofatnt of spirits.' Your share of it I now, by virtue of your. oath was not your share of it all but the pewter V Why, then, dear knows, that's" true for you sir' The court waa convulsed at both question and answer It soon came out, step by step, that the man was drunk, and was not, therefore, a compe leut witness. Thus O'Connell won bis case for his client. r Here is another instance of his ready tact and infinite resource in theirdefenco of hi clients. In a trial at Cork fofthjatder, the principal witness swore, strongly against the prisoner. He partic ularly, swore that a haUound near the place of the murder belonged to the prisoner, whosepatue was James. ; -" liy virtue of your oath, are you iur4 that this is the same hat!'
