There would not, pro bably, have been a dissenting voice, had it not been that tne preamble to the bill declares a falsehood : It is n the following words, viz : Whereas, by the act of the Republic of Mex icoTastate of war exists between that TJovern ment and the United States : Therefore "Be it enacled$-c." It is held by a large portion of either branch, that if war exists between the Government of Mexico and the United States, it is not by the act of that government, but by the President of the United State,, who ordered Gen. Taylor to take a position onhhe soil of Mexico. These members would not withhold the necessary re lief to our army now in distres, and therefore voted for the bill, protesting, at the same lime, against the falsehood set forth in the preamble to it.

On the'morningpf the 10th ult. When Gen.

Taylor (has used all diligence to strengthen his position by throwing up breasUvorks, mtrenchmerits, fortifications, fec.t and the Mexican General Ampudia, has been equally industrious in fortifying the town defensively, keeping his soldiers employed night and day. Gen. Taylor's heavy ordinance 01 eighteen founders, are said to be .situated within point blank shot of Gen. Ampudia's house in: the mid dle of the citj, at a ditance of 300 yards.

The time has arrived when those who intend to be candidates to represent the County in the next General Assembly, will begin to urge their claims, or to use a more common expression, will begin to election' eer. There are already in the field three candidates, all of the Democratic stripe, who will, doubtless let no opportunity pass by without canvassing every voter with whom they may meet. The Whig party, by unavoidable circumstances, have been prevented from bringing out their candid ates, and none have offered themselves. But it is hoped that this backwardness may not result injurious to their prospects. In deed, they feel confident that such cannot be the c flect. But there is a practice n mong some few voters to pledge their votes, against which'it were well to he guarded. This is particularly the case when there is but one set of candidates in the field. We have known good meh, before now, to pledge their votes to u candidate when they afterwards were sorry for it. It is a bad plan lor any man to embarrass himself in this way. We all wish to do what is right, and, to do this, should make no pledges to candidates who solicit our vots until we know who all are to be can didates, and until we lully satisfy ourselves who, and what a man is.
