NEW YORK HERALD. York, Sunday, May 30, IMT. Volmnteer Soldiery. By the last accounts from General Scott' army we learn that almost all of the twelvi volunteers are leaving hint, pre ferring to return to their homes anil fumi lies to revelling inthe Halls of the Mon tezuemas. They have fulfilled their duty a American to the rendezvoa and their rifles and ntarcli ed to tha enemy's country at the call of their gc vernment, and having achieved honor and glor for themselves, and fought and won battles the have cast lustre on the American arms, the now arc leaving the camp, and many of then will soon resume their business occupations.

What a glorious spectacle is here presented.What nation ran present a parallel to it! toil-worn and sun-beaten soldiers return for tin purpose of making room for new levies, who, like them, have enlisted under their country's (lag, and like them, will carry it triumphantly whereever they go. There is no shilling-a-day patriotism in American volunteers. They and their gallant officers fight for glory and the honor und credit of their country, and not for money. By the way, what a signal rebuke the conduct of our volunteers furnishes to the malignant slanders that were daily spewed forth by the English press, the editors of which accused our citizen soldiery of being animated by one single motive in fighting against the Mexicans in this war. They have reiterated the assertion that the main object our citizens had in volunteering wa9 to rob the churches of Mexico of their riches and wealth? that the desire of gain, 110 matter how acquired, and not patriotism, actuated.them to take part in the strife.

We have outlived the slanders til the English press in every instance, and we have done so in this. The twelve months volunteers are now within a few days march of the city of Mexico, where countless thousands are locked up in the churches and solid gold and silvei vases, candlesticks, and images are scattered in very balustrades of these buildings being made of the precious metals; and yet, after their term of service has expired, and their duty to their country fulfilled, we see them, like good citizens and honest men, returning to their homes, and caring nothing for this wealth. It may be consistent enough for the English, who, in their wars, have plundered, sacked, and robbed several of the cities they conquered in warfare, and whose cry at New Orleans was Booty and Beauty," to speak in this manner; but the mode of warfare practised by enlightened England is not r.erognised as humane or proper on this side of the Atlantic. The wealth of the Mexican churcheB is as safe from robbery by our volunteer soldiery, as if it were locked up in the bowels of the earth. Lieut.

Charles G. court martial and sentence on this gallant officer is receiving much comment at the present time, and is freely talked of by our citizens. As we have published the sentence, we are inclined to publish the following article, which we have ex tracted from the Suffolk Co. Democrat of the 21s tnst: The trial and sentence of Lieut. Charles O.

llunte: brings to mind a case of disobedience of orders very si inilar. and will be interesting to our citizens generally as well as to many of our young and gallant officers the navy. We know of no case more suitable to a juxti position than the following a time when the Islant of Cuba wim infuRtml with nirat.m. who whfm com mitt in i the moit horrid outraged and murder against the com merce and lireii of citizens of all nations, Captain (noi Commodore) Kearney, with the U. 8.

brig Enterprise waa eent to break up this horde of During thi cruise, he discovered a nest of pirates off Cape in possession of a ship and two brigs, the ship and oni brig American, the other Knglish. which thev weis plundering in the vicinity of one of their strong holds, dangerous reef protecting them from the approach ol large vessels, and a battery on shore to protect then from boats or small vessels. Commodore Kearney immediately ordered the brlg'i boats to be manned, and also two or three boats belonging to the merchant vessel. This command he gave tc his gallant second officer. Lieut.

James Mclntosn, wltl positive orders not to part company or separate boats. With these orders Lieut. Mcintosh left his ves sel. but it was not long before he found that in obeyin) orders he could accomplish nothing, sb the boats of thi merchant vessels could not keep up with him, (beini dull and heavy.) and it was necessary to pull ahead ai fast as passible, to cut off one of the pirates' vesseli which was attempting to escape, and consequently separated his forces, but succeeded in capturing fou pirate vessels and setting fire to and blowing up a fifth besides destroying a large amount of prqperty on shore with their habitations, striking terror to a communit of villains that had committed such vast depredation and bloodshed. This gallant act was not accomplished without greal basard.

and during a tremendous thunder storm, whic lasted one bonr. the rain pouring down in torrents a the time On returning to his vessel that night, fatigued without provisions for his crew, what was the receptioi he met with from the brave and magnanimous Kearney Why, in admiration of bis gallant and meritorious act that reflected honor on the service, the noble Kearne' received him as a hero, complimented him for hf bravery audwuccess, and in the best of humor told Lieut Mcintosh that he took a great responsibility on himsell and said?" Come, Sir. you have eaten nothing to-day I waited dinner for you; let us retire." In the cabin he drank to the health of his lieutenant and with the feelings of a generous soul, said?" Sir your conduct is characteristic of the noble spirits which compose our navy, and which has this day added lustre to our arms, and done an incalculable service to the commercial interests of the world. 1 drink to the officer who dared to take the responsibility, and render society such essential strvice." Long will Commodore Kearney with Lieut. Mcintosh, be remembered bya grateful public.

American stkamsiup tei to three o'clock yesterday, this magnificent spe cimen of naval architecture was thrown open the public; and between those hours, not les than ten thousand ladies and gentlemen inspect ed her. It is needless to say, that they were al delighted and gratified.

This noble steamship presents a beautiful ap pearance in the dock, and her beautiful mode and proportions are the theme of remark by al who behold her. Her gigantic moult fact everythini pertaining to her is perfect, and is equal to any thing now afloat.

Niw Order from the Secretary of Tin Secretary of the Navy has issuet an order regulating the rank of the pursers. I places pursers of twelve years standing on th? rank with commanders according to date commission, and pursers of less than twelve years the rank of lieutenants, according to date of commission, besides other proper regulation! required by the importance of their duties.

Thii is a just and wise regulation of Mr. Mason The pursers are a most important corps of the ntval service, doing the duty on board shij which is required of paymasters, quartermas ters, and commissaries, in the army We are gratified that mstice has been done in this mat ter.

Young and rising talent, particularly local talent, has ut all times a claim upon public support, and we feel assured that the attractive bill put forth for the occasion and the cast, of whom fame speaks loudly, and flatteringly, will draw together a full and bumper house. Mr McDonald's Damon will, probably, be an able personation of the character. He will be well supported by Mr.

The Lucia" will, therefore, be given unclipt; and if a favorite opera, and a deserving loader and excellent musician, are inducements sufficient to fill the house, there will be but few spare seats at Palmo'x.

Christy most wonderfully successful performers, Intend remaining at Mechanics' Hall for one week longer.

The extraordinary patronage attending their concerts, which have been nightly crowded for a succession of fourteen "weeks, by the beauty and fashion of the city, has induced them to defer their intended visit to Boston for the present, and remain in this city one week longer, which intelligence will be received with pleasure by their thousands of admirers. They are without doubt the most popular performers that have ever been in this city engaged in any similar amusement. Swiss up-town citizens need not come down town for the purpose of enjoying an evening's recreation. because Mr. Elsasser Schmidt, the proprietor of the Swiss Garden, corner of 33d street and Railroad avenue, has fitted up that place in the first style, and has engaged Dingle's German Brass Band to perform every evening.

Tho exertions of Mr. Schmidt will no doubt be duly appreciated. Castle Concert of Sacred Music, by Dodsworth's Cornet Band, will be performed this evening at Castle Garden. In addition to the attraction which this offers, we understand that tho Cosmoramas have been re-arranged by a competent person, under the direction of the managers. We know of no better I place to upend a Sunday evening, tban the Castle Garden.

vaimiall nay without hesitation that no place of amusement in the upper part of the city, offers to many as Vauxhall Garden does. To-morrow evening there will be a grand perfbrm? unce. in addition to the regular company, Mr. Harrison. the great comic singer, will delight the audience with his extemporaneous singing.

We have glanced at the bill for that evening, and saw that it was one well calculated to attract a large number of visiters. llerz was to give a concert at the Planters' Hotel, fit. 9 Louie, on the evening of the 31st. The Swiss bell ringers are to pass the present week iu Providence, where they open to-morrow evening. They are to be assisted by Miss Maria and Miss Julia Barton.

A if AccoMMJiMM Swindlkr desire to put our I rltisens on their guard igtlnH a genteel looking and veil dressed man, about twenty-six or twenty-eight of age. who ie the inoet accomplished windier we ever heard ol. Hie deportment so easy and manner so Insinuating, that it is almost impossible for onr shrewdest men toavoid being ensnared in the net he so skilfully weaves around his victims.

Our sharpest business men have placed confidence" in him. and for their reward have been swindled In sums varying from five to one hundred dollars. For the purport of stopping the career ot this scoundrel in this city, we give a sketch of an interview that took place between him and a gentleman whom he had selected as a victim. VVe give it in his own A short time since 1 was sitting in my office reading. when a well dressed, genteel young man, about 26 or 38 years old.

entered, and having made hie bow, asked me If I was Dr the proprietor. I answered in the affirmative. supposing that the gentleman wished to see me professionally; however, 1 was soon undeceived. He then delivered himself as follows, having first assured me that although he did not want to see mo professionally, he wished to speak to me in I can safely Bay, that I am a man of the world in the most extensive point of view, having been thrown on my own resources since 1 was ten years old I have travelled through every State in the Union, through every town in each State, through Kngland. France, and in fact through the whole continent of F.urope.

I have made man and man's ways my sole study, and after the closest observation, 1 must candidly confess, that I believe every man more or less rogue. It is true that some pilfer legally and are considered by the community honorable men; while others, disdaining the protection offered by the laws, (as at present constituted) are hunted down by their fellow men as rogues, robbers, and scoundrels, for arriving at the same end only by a different road. Well, 1 have uau oAwuBMu cjkpciicuiio iu uuiu cuutkvm, lur 1 appear young. 1 bavo been engaged in a heavy mercantile business in the Houth. the failure of which I attribute to my placing confidence in the wrong kindof men.

I have since tried the other course, and 1 am not ashamed to say. I have occasionally been what the law terms a rogue; but oa that subject the law and I are at Doctor, you may think the subject I am at present speaking to you on, a strange one, for one stranger to broach to another.and I am sure you do; however, let q)e undeceive you. We are not straugers to one another, for although you never saw me before, believe me, 1 have made the most ample enquiry about you, and of so satisfactory a nature was it, that I have anxiously sought the present interview, the object of which 1 will now disclose. Kor the last six or eight months, I have been on the look out for a man in whom I can place the most implicit who would be willing to stand by me when in trouble, as well as to share my good fortune when in prosperity; in fact, 1 want a second a man 1 believe you to be. Do not look frightened.

The service I wish you to render me is perfectly secure from the fangs of the most timid has no cause to be alarmed at do I wish you to undertake it until you are perfectly convinced It is so; iu fact, I want to place from time to time, large sums of oney in the safe keeping of a person holding a respectable position in society, in the keeping of one above supiclon; for, although the money will be legally obtained, (as I will prove to you) still a person of my character, (known to the law authorities) with a large sum of money about his person, is never safe, being liable to be arrested at any time. "I would expect that if at any timo I should be so un-, fortunate as to be arrested, if i can prove to you my innocence of the ehargo on which I have been detained that you will procure bail for me, providod you have funds in your hands of mine sufficient to warrant you to do so. This is the service 1 require from the confidential friend I am in want of; and from what i have heard of you. I believe you most capable of being that friend. Now sir, I ask you, do you sufficiently understand me are you willing to place that confidence in me which I may consider necessary before 1 further disclose the object of my visit.

However, before you decide, allow me to relate a little occurrence that happened to me when I was last on the Mississippi. 'I was travelling last summer on the boats on the Mississippi, when one morning about seven o'clock, while smoking a cigur on deck, 1 was accosted by a very gentlemanly person, and after a few moments conversation. he invited me into the cabin to partake of a bottle of wine with him as I was alone, and wished for society, 1 accepted his invitation and, having entered the cabin, 1 perceived two gentlemen already seated at the table with wine before them. My new friend being acquainted with them introduced me. and the wine circulated pretty freely between us.

After two or three bottles, cards weVe introduced, and although a good player at most games, from the heated state of my brain, and no doubt a combination between the other throe, I was swindled of every cent 1 had before we parted. I believe I lost about one hundred and eighty dollars at that sitting. You may easily guess what my feelings were when I awoko next morniug, on a strange boat, without a cent in my pocket or a friend near me. I never, until then, understood the real value of a confidential friend. After sitting the usual time at the breakfast table, without eating anything, I went on deck, and after walking up and down for half an hour or so, I took a seat beside a middle aged gentleman, who was, at the time, busy rending a book that seemed to interest him very much.

In the course of a few moments he turned round and, for the first time, perceived that he was not alone. I ventured to make some common observation on the weather he placed his book on his knee, and turning round, he said, ''My friend, 1 believe that you were one of the four young men that were gambling the greater part of last night in the cabin I also think, from the expression of your face you were the unsuccessful one. I acknowledged he was right in both particulars and also told him that I was at present without shilling, and a thousand miles away from any friend or acquaintance. After looking steadfastly at me for some time, he said Young man, what do you intend to do? who do you think will trust you. or believe what you tell them? I paused for a minute or two, and came to the resolution of letting him know more of my history than be then did.

I told him a good many of my exploits, both honorable and dishonorable. I showed him how. by was driven to some, by a vicious inclination to mothers. However, I spoke in such a manner that I oonvinced him I was then sincere, and related nothing but the truth; I brought my story to an end by stating that, if I could get any person that would advance me fifty dollars, until I reached New York, that 1 should consider that person a friend and benefactor as long as I lived." At this part of my confidential friend's story, he became, or seemed to become, very much uffected, and drawing his hand across his eyes, said to me?" Doctor. I will never forget that man's reply.

My friend," said he, I am a storekeeper in New York, doing a small business. 1 came on here to try to form a new connection with a'view to forward my prospects. I have about me about two hundred dollars, which I am reserving for my next rent day. I believe your story, and although 1 think you have repeatedly gone astray I have confidence in you. and firmly believe you will return what 1 now lend the same time he banded me five ten dollar bills.

I tried to thank bim, but I could not. I put the bills in my pocket, and abruptly walked away from him. About an hour after I placed a card in his hand, on which I had written the day he might expect to see ine in New York Having looked at it, he said, I feel confident that yon will perform what you promise." The day marked on that card was last Thursday. in the city for three weeks. 1 did not present myself until the day I had promised.

I went at twelve o'clock, and to my surprise round him in as great trouble as I was when lie took me by the hand on baurd the Mississippi steamer. Ho had speculated unfortunately with the funds he had to pay his rent, and although within four days of rent day, ho had not a cent towards the payment. Thank (iod, I was then in a situation to return the compliment. I first paid him his fifty dollars, and then he became my debtor for three hundred and fifty dollars, the balance of his rent." My confidential friend at the samu time produced from his waistcoat pooket small piece of white paper, folded up. and holding It between his forefinger and thumb, he said.

There is his due kill for It, but he shall have his own time for payment." Now, sir, I ask you, and I beg you wlU'give me a candid answer, would you. if you were placed in the same' situation as my former you, I say, act in the same manner?" My confidential friend puuted for a reply, and not knowing what answer to give. I merely bowed my bead in token of acquiescence. Well, then," said he, I shall put you to the trial. Now, sir, listen to me.

1 do not want the same time producing a large roll of what I thought to be hank do not want your watch or ornaments? his gold watch and would rather give to you than receive from you; but before entering into the'ininutiic of the business we will have to transact together. I wish to see whether you have that Implicit oontidence in me which I consider absolutely necessary. Will you have the kindness to allow me to took at your watch?" i luiuiouiabtij unuuru iiiiu iue which, iil lUi) BAD)6 UTHB drawing nearer the door, aud holding the chair in my hand It is a handsome said he; would you lend it to me for a quarter of an is. if rou think I would return it To this I objected. Ah said he, it Is a family present, and vou do not wish to p.rt with it even for a moment.

Well, will you let me havo twenty dollars for ten miuutes I shook mv head. "Ah! you have not so much about you. Well, ten. or even to satisfy me that you believe me." At this moment a thought struck me that the roll of paper he produced a short time ago was not money, but merely paper, cut and rolled together to represent bills. I then said to him?" My friend, as you came here to seek my confidence, I thiuk you should do something more then words to gain it.

Now let me see that rell of bills you have in your pocket, and if they are what you pretend they are, bills of specie paying banks, I will then have more confidence In what you say. I also wish to see the due bill 01 your former benefactor. Satisfy me in those two particulars, and I will then believe if you do what I ask, I am bound to believe you one of those systematic swindlers, who prowl about the city to take in the unwary. My confidential frland, looked at me for a minute or two; at the same time moving towards the door, and then said, "Sir, I am sorry to say I bavo been mistaken in your the same time he ran out much quicker tnan he entered. This is a specimen of the way in which this accomplished villain deceives his victims.

He has always about nis person a large roll of bills, which are no doubt counterfeits. All be wants is a confidential friend with whom he can deposit his spare fuuds in safety, and by gaining the confidence of people, ho manages' to cheat them. We recommend our citlsens to be on their guard, and in case this confidential-seeking gentleman I should visit them, to introduce him immediately to the confidence of a police officer. Awsisn evils and the accommodation of these. Incumbrances are among the topics under consideration at the present day The action of the corporation In this matter of city improvements has awakened the sense of the community at large, and the resolution of that honorable body has been sustained and acquiesced In by our trading community without any complaint.

Thus far the matter been carried out nobly, andbecome even a topic of complimentary approval The evils ofawning posts obstructing our public thoroughfares are numerous. One among the many may be sufficient to is. obstructing the side-walks. When the street lamps are left without a light, as is frequently the case, it is almost impossible to pursue our evening business without stumbttng, on the sMa-walka. Tha tta awning.

and other abut out light of the dan, to guide ua on our thoroughfares, that ought to be free from every incumbrance. They offer a fine ahelter for tbievee and they enable a few to display their by filling up our to the injury of their intercut; they permit a few to have them nine feet high and others from ten to thirty Ibet; they permit different to clog up the aida-wallca with of their atock, rendering it for foot to Walk along without getting their torn and soiled The law certain height, and no two are similarity of style If they are an accommodation, they produce evil are stated above. Those who are in favor of them are disposed to support and countenance the evil; those who conform to the resolutions of the Common Council are in favor of correcting the evil, as it now exists. What reason can be assigned to continue the present incumbrances, unless it be a spirit of opposition, no one can tell. It wants but one resolution of the Common Council to have them all removed at once.

The approval of our citizens to see it4 carried out is already expressed, and it is hoped that, at the next meeting or the Board, they will be put and adopted.

Strong, of Greenfield, is the only other clergyman of our churcn, in this diocese, who has sustained tne pastoral relation to one flock for so long a period. A fresh persecution of the Jews seems to have begun at Jerusalem, where threo Jews are said to have been arrested. for attempting to open the veins of a christian boy about twelve years old, whose blood they are fabled to have coveted for one of the ceremonies at the feast of the pasRovcr. Calvary Church, New York, will be consecrated on the 4th of June next. Kmmanuel Church, Landsford, Chester District, was oonsecrated a few days since.

The church is a neat building, on an elevated spot, about six miles from the ford over the Catuwba river, called Landsford, and 16 from the Court-house, at Chosterville. It is 40 by 30 feet, celled, aud raised by about 3 feet on granite pillars, and is capable of accommodating more than 300 persons. Its cost was about $400, and is quite creditable to those who have designed and executed it. Not rich in earthly treasure, they have thus given some eTidense that they arc not without faith, ana not unmindful of those things which are not seen but eternal." The Bishop of Australia is on the point of opening a Collegiate Institute in the immediate vicinity of Sydney. Its object is, in the first place, to train up young uiuu for the colonial ministry; but, in addition, professorships in the classics ana mathematics have boen added for the advantage of laymen.

The course of instruction will extend over three years, and no student is is to be admitted until he has attained the age of sixteen years. It is reported that the clergy and laity of North Wales are busily engaged in preparing a plan to carry out the immediate building of a college, similar to the flourishing little establishment at Lampeter, but the plan of studies to be pursued is to be somewhat different. The college is to be called the Fowls College," founded on a testimonial about to be built in one of the counties of North Wales, but the site is not fixed upon. The Rev.

Me.ha's the Mexican prisoners arrived at New Orleans, in charge of Major Bennet, is First Lieutenant Henry Mejia, aid-decamp to Gen. de la Vega. Lieut Mejia is the son of the late Gen. Mejia, leader of the federal forces in Mexico, opposed to Santa Anna of tnu central party. He is quite young man, und behaved very gallantly at the battle of Cerro Gordo, having his horse shot from under him and being wounded.

Like La Vega, he was found at his post Gen. Brooke received his parole of honor, and he is now residing with his mother, a resident of New Orleans, until further orders. Gen. Mejia married an American lady, and some of our readers may recollect a young lady, their daughter, who visited this city about a year since, and was quite the cynosure of sundry susceptible spirits in our midst. She was accomplished, spoke our language with a charming was very piquant in her Mexican patriotism.

We once had occasion to hear her version of Palo Alto. Arista's reverse she attributed to tne poor military appointments of the Mexicans.

They were ready to blow a hurricane shortly after, when the tidings of her marriage "to another" were received.

Steamboats and canal boats are crowded; and we are assured by those who are conversant with this business, that not less than six hundred a day nre now passing over the Champlain canal, independent of the different stages which leave Whitehall. This argues well for thu Saratoga and Washington ltailroad, which is now going forward rapidly, which is to be opened in a year. It cannot fail to prove a valuable Investment to the stockholders. Strange individual well known in this city, Mr.

Harney Costello, residing at the corner of Craps and Bagatelle streets, third municipality, took passage some time ago on the steamboat Bultanit. to accompany his daughter to the Louisvillo convent On the arrival of the steamer back, Mrs. Costello. who was expecting her husband, went on board to enquire after him. There she learned that Mr.

Costello had t'alleu overboard whilst going to Louisville, and was drowned. Subsequently, however, sho was informed that her daughter, instead of being in the Louisville convent, as she supposed, hnd boarded for some time in the St. Charles. All her efforts to meet her child were useless, the latter having left theabove-montioned hotel, and gone to parts unknown. Mrs 'osteite, fearing that both her husband and daughter were, perhaps, tha victims of some foul machination, nernlexed hevoni! measure, an lost in grief, went yesterday to Recorder Uenois' office, and prayed his honor to notify before him all the officers of the Sultana The subpoenas were issued, and the case will be investigated O.

F.miohatio.v to letter from Princeton, Illinois, dated May 3d, the emigration to Oregon may be estimated by the number of wagons which have passed by my house this spring, it will be very large. More than 100 wagons have passed through Trlnceton this season; on their way to that distant country. Sometimes ten or fifteen of them, with their accompaniments of men, women, childron, and cattle go by in a day Many are from Northern Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. They usually carry cooking stoves in their wagons, of very small else.

Most of them seem to be people of some substance, and will unquestionably make good settlers.

Upon the subject of trade. Governor Dana assumes the position that business, if left to itself will regulate la itself. He says The world has been enthralled, for ages, with too much legislation; shackles have been put upon trade, restrictions upon the free Interchange of commodities, gs usually under the pretence of regulating and facilita- ting, but in reality for the purpose of giving exclusive privileges and undue advantages to favorite interests or The war question is next considered, in relation to ji which the language of the message is The military arm of our government lias furnished material for a most brilliant page In our nation's Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, Buena Vista, Vera Crux, Cerro Gordo, have become Imperishable monuments of our nation's a Taylor, with hundreds of asso- jj ciates, has been added to the long list of our nation's heroes. Still, this picture of national glory has its reverse. Although feeling acutely the miseries that follow In the train of war, still I can have no sympathy with that weak sensibility, which always shrinks from it.

Such a feeling would blot out the history of the American Revolution, snatch 11 from oppressed humanity the untold blessings it has re-, allied, or anticipates from this glorious movement and withdraw from the world's admiration her brightest ex- amples of self-sacriflce and restore to kings the divinity of their rights, and relmpoBe upon subjects the divinity of their renounce 5 even heaven Itself, because its approach Is through trials and According to the argument upon the topic of the introduction of Texas into the Union, it is held that Mex- 2 ico, in agreeing to acknowledge the independence of Texas, on condition that she would not incorporate herself into the American Union, did thus admit to all intents. that this territory was sovereign and Independent. The rejection by Texas of the condition, cannot weaken the force of the Mexican admission, that she was in fact a sovereign and Independent state." This argument is followed by a brief review of the conduct of the Mexican government towards us, after the annexation was consummated It was not the advancing our troops upon what some are pleased to term the disputed it was a 0 question of which was involved a still deeper question? the right of a people to establish for themselves a government by right even of Mexico or the United States to exi9t as an inde- 1 pendent power. Mexico never raised the question of boundary; never would listen to our frequent overtures 0 to negotiate a treaty of boundary on the most liberal terms; but uniformly met them with the assumption that Texas was hers the Sabine was her boundary, that she had no recourse left but war, and war she has, a solely the result of that assumption.

"In view ot all these ordinary candor tolerate the pretence that any just rights of Mexico have been violated, or permit a doubt of the truth of the declara- tion of the American Congress, that war exists by the act of Mexico The question of indemnity is next considered, and the li Governor sees no other way but for Mexico to cede to the United States a portion of her territory. Next comes the argument introduced as follows "The territory which we may aoquire as Indemnity for a claims upon Mexico is free shall it be made slave territory Upon this question, which is treated at considerable length, the Message may be said to be of the Wilmot 1 proviso stamp. The attention of th Legislature is called to the subject of the militia, and recommends that an organize- 1 tion of some kind be immediately made, and leaves it in the hands of the representatives of the people, That the present disorganized state of the militia is in direct violation of the laws of the United States." The hospitals, particularly the hospital for the insane. and the 8tate prison, are next commended to the careful consideration of the Legislature. The subject of the public schools is treated as its importance deserves.

Agricultural schools, and the distribution of prizes, are suggested. Railroads next claim the attention, and are treated with great favor; and then the finances are considered; evils of an unstable currenoy, are commented upon at considerable length, and the Legislature Is called upon to fix upon some sure principles by which the State's financial affairs may be regulated. The Message closes with the following I cannot close this communication without calling your attention to the great evil resulting from frequent 1 changes in our public laws. They should be so permanent and unchanging that the public may become fa- miliar with them, and with the constructions which our Courts may have given them. Without this there must 1 be constant uncertainty and litigation.

It is not sufficient that a proposed amendment has no objectionable 1 feature; the change itself Is ohjectlonablo, and should be resisted, unless it will obviously produce a positive 1 good. The shorter the time, and the less amount of your legislation, the more sure and unanimous will be the approval of your constituents."
