He Is determined Ists in our with Mexico vrotlld not to return until ample arrangements havo furnish It.

They are, In fact, the only class been made by the General Government foi of citizens (hat make nn open resistance to providing our volunteers wllh provision, and Ihe United Staies'dcfendliig themselves a- jan officer sent to this Clly to muster them gainst the; attacks of a foreign foe; and whatadds lo the infamy of such a course; Is Iho fact, thatj'ai a -they aro tho chief cause of the present war. Who Is there, that paid the slightest iltcnllon lo the political history of his country, that does that they used all IhcjrciTorts as political body, indirectly, bat ertbclually, Voleot Mr. Polk, and defeat Mr. Clay? Wliti.has forgotten Ihe electioneering thrpiighoiit thoi Into the service of the United States. Charleston, Coles county, In this State, a volunteer company of upwards 80 men was organized on the 3d instant.

W. Bishop, Esq. was elected Captain Mr. J. C.

Adams-1st Lieutenant; anil Mr H. C. Duncnn 3d Licutcno.nl.

Tha printers of tho United States, in proportioi to their numbers, have furnished more volunteers than any other class of citizens; there nro any true patriots In tho land, it Is the lost elcbllon'jIrVWnleh'ho urged tho Icctlonof'Mr. (h preference lo Mr. Clny? And wSe'ro Is the man, so lost to every sense of moral principle, that will dispute the fact, that this amalgamation between tho Abolitionists and the Locos was coniummatetl nflor Mr. Clay's Idler was lhe made public, avowing his opposition to lhe annexation of T'exas, nnd after Mr. Folk's lomination, accompanied by the resolutions of the Convention, who brought him for ward, that they were for the whole of Tex ns and Oregon? And yel, after having succeeded In draw- ng the largest portion of their parly in Now York, into the support of Mr.

ociired his denounce the wa wllh Mexico as well as all those conncclei with It: when, but for their Influence, cas the scale of Polk, Mr. Cloy wouh lave been elected, and Texas continued as free and independent Republic. This the Vbolltionists know as well before (he lasi Iccllon as siucej and equally well assu- ed wore they, that in the event of Mr "oik's election, Texas would be annexed is a slave (cnilory to the United Stales, no- em tiolera. Under such circumslanoes wha nblushlng hypocrisy is manifested In the ollowing resolutions, lately adopted at a Convention of Abolitionisls in tho Northern ecllon of tills Stale: Kasoloea, That the net of annexing Tex- to tho United Stales was iinnuthoriieil by he Constitution, injurious totho (rue welfare our country, unjust In Mexico, and enlcn- to the just reprehension tlio civilized world nnd the righteous in- gnnhon of Almlghly God. In the above rcsojution, they have written was-the Abo- IJoiflilsMnrilreot Jupgort of Mr.

Polk, that anseil tho annexation of Texas over a vio- led Constitution. It is the Abolitionisls at have brought iipon us a war "injurious Ihe welfare of our country," "unjust to lexlco, and calculated to bring upon us the st reprehension of the civilized world:" id If justice was nieted out in this war III an oven hand, Ihe Abolitionists who led for, or aided the eleellon of Mr. Polk, oulil be placed in the very front uf the 1ml- and (heir blood should bo thn first Id fer- ize tho soil between the Nueces and lho Oranilo. But craven like, they shrink om the defense of their country, though main cause of our beinginvolved In hos- 'Hies with foreign power. THE WIIIOS Of this county, have no less than six can- lates before the people at present for the eglslaluro.

Do they. Intend (o surrender county to the enemy without a struggle? so, they have adopted a course which will miosllohably 'result In the gratification of clr wishes. Six weeks more, ond the ecllon comes off; and If (here (s lo be any ng like a regular -Whig ticket, it Is tlmo was agreed upon. This is the last time shall trouble our political friends wilh suggestions upon tho subject.

E. D. Daker reached homi on Thursday of last week, with instruction: and authority, from tho President lo raise i. fourth regiment of volunteers in this Slate. Wo learn that his regiment Is nearly full; and thai they aro to camp ot Springfield.

ICf-Tho Hon. Jas. Shields, Commissioner of lhe Land-'ofnce, passed through Edwardsville, in route to Springfield, on Monday of week. Whether he designs enrolling himself among tho volunteers from Illinois, is questioned by many of his political friends. JTJ" Judging from tho editorials in both the State Register and Sangamo Journal, ALTOM has been determined upon by Gov.

Ford as the place of rendezvous for the vol- mteers from this State. The selection corresponds with the suggvslion of the Secretary of War, ns well as the views of Qen. Brooke. All things considered, it is tho nost favorable point on the Mississippi. mong the appointment of officers In ho regiment of mounted riflemen, or third cgiment of dragoons, as authorized by the act of'Congress df Ihe 10th May, 18dO, nnd which wore confirmed' by the Senate, are, B.

Dnclionstoss, Caplnin, Thos. Duncan, irj( Lieufcnant, and Thos. Second 'vieulcnnnl-all of Illinois. The appointment if Mr. Backenstoss is not only an Insult to he Slate, but a disgrace to those who in any manner participated either in his nomination confirmation.

Tho only benefit possibly be derived from his appointment is, (hat ilinois will got rid of one of its worst clli- npt. Thornton, of the army, was ut under arrest by Gen. Taylor, immo- lately on being exchanged ns a prisoner of war. Wo learn, from a source entitled to rddit, that the alledged cause of this arrest that Capt. Thornton had disobeyed or- ers In engaging in a skirmish with the Mexicans.

Tho friends of'capt. Thornton link that ho will be honorably acquitted. orders given him being verbal, some ispute has arisen as lo what they were. Gen. Scott has declined to lake charge of he forces against Mexico, upon the ground hat it would be doing injustice to his brave comrade in arms, Gen.

Taylor. This is no more than might have been expected from he Hero of Lundy's Lane. brevet rank of Major General the army of tho Unllod States has been conferred by the President, wilh Iho unanimous advice and consent of Ihe Senate, upon Brigadier General Taylor, lhe gallant commander of our forces on tho Rio Grande, 'or the bravery and skill displayed by him the late brilliant mllilary operations a- galnst the Mexicans. This rewnrd is well will meet the general approba- lon. iTJ-Capt.

Fremont, well and favorably cnown for his adventurous expeditious n- cross the Rocky Mountains, has received Iho appointment of Lieut. Colonel in tho new rifle regiment, ordered to be raised by a recent act of Congress. Hon. James Shields has been In St. Louis for two or three days during this week, 'giving his asiislance In perfecting the arrangements by which the volunteers are relieved from the suspense In whloh they have so unnecessarily been kept for the last two weeks.

Great credit is due Judge Shields for bis perseverance In this matter.
