Duty, honor. and dignity itself Imposed upon us the necessty of not losing a season of which the monarchical putty was taking violent advantage, for not a moment was to be lost ; and we acted with the promptness it decision necessa ry in a case so urgcntjojivoid thereby a complication of interests, which might render our relations more difficult and involved." Now, mark what tlicso now and vast revela tions turn to, with the aid of a littlo running commentary I Reasons of high policy and a Continental American interest precipitated events. Mexico refused to adopt these "reasons;" the "policy and Interest," therefore, which " precipitated events" that la, the War were ours. Our co.tTMEaTAL roLtoy precipitated the war. But while our Cabinet was " ardently" laboring for peace and conciliation by ordering an army to advance Into Mexican territory " a misfortune the least looked for" over-el the Hcrrera Ad ministration. Vet that very misfortune had been all Die while held up by our Government to Ambassador Slidell as certain to happen, if the Mexican Government vieldcd to his requisition to be received as full Minister. Herreka told him see the correspondence that they had not agreed, nor did t,hey dare to receive him, ex rent as a Commissioner 1 that the verv supicion of audi a thing had strengthened against him a party that of I'aredes then intriguing for hist overthrow. Well. Mr. Slidell. in spite of all these very reasonable representation1!, persisted j Quarrelled upon the mere mode and title of his iplomacy, mere matters of form to every body but him, and came away rather than put up with the half-title of a. mere Commissioner : or clso catno away because this Government sought n pretext, not a settlement. His conduct compel led the Mexican President to ilivulce the nego tiation for his own justification ) and the popular feeling running high against any such conces sions to us as Heriiera was accused of bring about to make, he was upset by I'aredes. 1 his event, it is easy to see from the context, is that which our Government now says " blocked up every avenue which could lead to an honorable settlement between the two nations" because " the new Government discarded the national in' terests as well as those of Continental America,' and preferred foreign influences the most op rjositc. fEuroDean ones.l " fatal to Mexican LI berty and the Republican system, which the United States hold it a duty to preserve and pro tect." Thus " duty, honor, and dignity itself vnposrd on us the necessity oj not losing a season of which the monarchical party was taking vio lent advantage ; for not a moment teas to be lost, and we actc,d with the promptness and decision necessary in a case so urgent ;" that is to say, " everv avenue to neace beintr now blocked up," we " precipitated events" to speak plainly, a", indeed, in this connexion, the President did in l,i t last Annual Message to Congress, ordered Gen. Taylor to advance to Matamoros, and so, without loss of time, brought on the tear ! Out of the diplomatic phrases prescribed to Scott, from Washington, in winch the General whole paragraph is wrapped up, we have thus drawn, as all must admit, its real meaning, which, is neither more nor less, in brief, than this: that Mexico, in violation of the American continental sustem, was about to return to a mon- archical form of (Internment under a European prince; and that to prevent it we made haste to go to war with her, lest, if wc delayed, she should be able to complete a league with some of the monarchical powers of Europe, and be thereby enabled to maintain her national exist ence. Now, we undertake to show that this Admin Istration after-thought, this new governmental theory of the war, is one quite as fallacious as all preceding systems of Cabinet pretences. First of all, this pretence of a necessity im posed on us, by the peril of Mexico's setting up a Kingly Government under a I'rince to be bor rowed lrom hurope, is a pitiable political ana chronism, which the least examination of dates totally explodes. It was only when Mexico saw not which way to turn, in order to save herself lrom our advancing aim remorseless encroach ments when she perceived that icxas was Sonc, that our hand was on all this side of the iio iravo, ana mat California who next tu bo torn from her that, in her despair, with our fleets besetting her ports in both seas and our army threatening her frontier, she entertained, among a small part of her citizens, and these the most inveterate of the War party, any idea of taking refuge under a stronger form of Govern ment and a European alliance, from destruction by us. It was after the refusal to receive Mr. Slidell as full Minister that the " virtuous and patriotic Administration of Herrpra" that which rejected him fell ; and it was only after the ac cession of I'.iredef, its subverter, that a small porticn of the war party, headed it was sup posed by him, turned their last hopes of inde pendence to this scheme of a monarchy. But the plan if it had even been conceived at the tinio when as this latest of the many-tongued proclamation: distinctly admits) " every aveiiu to an honorable settlement between the two na tions was blocked up" never enlisted any pop nlar support: Mexico thought herself driven to no such forlorn remedy ; would not barter her aspirations to Republican freedom for even her elf-preservation; and presently, when convin ced that such was the project of I'aredes, over set him, by an almost universal insurrection, to re-instate the expelled Santi Anna, made popu lar again, out of his late detestation, bv his op position to the monarchical scheme. This is a history not to be disputed : for every body knows it to be the true one. For thi, its last effort at lelf-exculpatinn, the Administration lias drawn upon Its imagination, where it should luvc con sulted its memory or dreaded the public's. To find defensible motives for its conduct, it has feigned facts of only subsequent existence ; facts never in their truo amount iiistil'vinsr fif thev had even directed its course, and, worst of all, tacts wmcn im conduct atone causen, inicaa of their inducing its conduct. Nothing, we re peat, but its merciless proceedings ever led a mall party in Mexico not lovers of monarchy, but seekers of salvation from ruin and a detcsu ble conquest to form any such idea; and that Idea was, among a people republican enough at least never to stomach the thought of a King, rejected with indignation by the country, lrom one end to the other. But, suppose this new pretext to be ever so well founded, what right has this Government, upon any principle of public law or of establish ed domestic policy, to dictate to any nation what form of government it shall set up, or what change it snail or snail not mako in that gov ernment ? Can any thing be more monstrously repugnant to the theory and practice of our own Government, or to all the principles of Repub licanism on which both our Government are bated I Our Constitution, like that of Mexico, is subject to amendment by the People through a prescribed method. They may, if it pleases them, in their sovereign power, annul it. and substitute for it another. But could such an absurdity be conceived of as that Mexico, or anv other Power, should come in and demand of us to take our whol Government into custody, and hold It In durance by means of a conquering army, upon any such miserable pretence as is rt up in this Proclamation ! We urge all this with the less reserve, be cause we cannot consent that a principle so ab horrent shall gain credit, currency, or even tole ration and impunity, under the patriotic name of ScoTr, and because there is no reason to suppose that the heads of the Mexican nation are such drivellers as not to be able to distin guish our opinion from that of those of our countrymen who alone, and not wc or our polit ical triends, have the power to control tho qucs tion of peace or war in this Government. But. if the new pretext for the War were not wholly foreign to thu duty as well as the policy of this nation foreign to its position and for eign to its mission what possible ground could it constitute 'fur making war upon Mexico!

We will connect tho two passages by a few words of statement as to the facts of the bomuaruineni iiscn : " The year 1807 beheld the continent of Europe ap. Daren! v nrostrate at the feet of France. The disci' nline of Austria and Prussia hod disanocaled before the numbers and the enthusiasm of the French armies and the predominant genius of llieir leader. The so vereigns of those countries Imd seen their capitals filled with hostile armies and their Hying courts hovering on the frontiers of their former dominions. The house of Hnnsburghad ceasad to give emperors to Germany and the downfall of n constitution, transmitted from the leudal ages, was beheld without astonishment, and urobabiv without regret. The battleof Friedlund had convinced the Einjierorof Russia of the necessity of pence ; onu ine treaty 01 lusit, concluded on tue Bill of July, rather proclaimed than confirmed the power of Bonaparte and the weakness of his adversaries. In these circumstances ihe eyes of all Europe were fixed upon England. In her they beheld n l'ower which had uniiormiy resisted with vigor and wuh cotnpara live effect the encroachments ot the continental Colas- Sim ; and in struggling to support ,thc political lystetn of civilized EuroDe. she had respected the laws bv which it was regulated. In the midst of the disasters and errors ol the continent Denmark had rcniainei unmolested, protected bv the firm but temperate Doll tics of her court, by the attachment of the inhabitant to the fainilv ot the sovereign, and to their own na tional indepcndance,by the rigid Observance ol a strict neutrality, and by the moral turpitude, attached to un provoked aggression. From die general policy of the French Emperor every tiling was to be apprehended J and the Crown Prince of Denmark, draining the rest of his dominions of their forces, had for three years kept the flower of Danish youth assembled on the bordeis of Ilolstcin to protect the only quarter in Inch aggression seeineu 10 ue possible, lrom tne entrance ol tnai army wnicn had long Hovered on its frontier. The historian then proceeds to relate the ap pearance oi me uritisu armament on tne coast ol Denmark ; the astonishment and indignation wiin wnicn me miles saw themselves suddenly summoned to deliver no their fleet an astonish ment which Mexico would have equally felt, it what is now revealed had been urged on her, nut that the conduct of this Administration had prepared her to exnect of it everv thinr mon strous; Ihe peremptory language of Mr. Jackson afterwards envoy hither, and so odious, as " Copenhagen Jachon," that his presence here asjinusn amDassauor " precipitated the event' o, our ,.ir or IHIM ; Ihe rpsoiute rcjociion oi ni ueniaous : me uomoaruinent. and its Havoc ii Copenhagen, which, like Vera Cruz, was half destroyed.

" Calculating thu amount of the gain by this unpre cedented operation, England had obviously lo set olf, first, the expense attending the exiedition to Copenha gen, which probably amounted lo the prime cost of the captured vessels; second, ihe implacable animosity ot the whule Danish nation against this country, devo ting them, with all the resources of Denmark, tu the service of liouaparie ; third the resentment expressed and acted unon bv the Einuerur of Kuasia. which re. mentedif it did not dictate his alliance with France ; and, lastly, and above all, ihe diminution ot that high national character, and consequent inlluencr, which Great Britain had hitherto enjoyed among the nations of Europe. It was indeed asserted, in justification of this measure, that ' his .Majesty hnd received the most positive information of the determination of the pre sent ruler or France to occupy with a military lorce the territory of llulstein.tor ihe purpose of excluding Great Britain from her accustomed channels nf mm. munication with the continent ; or inducing or compel ling the Court of Denmark lo close the passage ot the Sound against British commerce and navigation ; and of availing hunseltoftheuid oftheDanish marine for me invasion oi ureal untain and Ireland and fur ther, ' Holstem once occupied, Zealand would be at the mercy of France, and the navy of Denmark at her disposal.'

Wo now desire to reiterate every sentiment we then ut tered commendatory nf this thorough and bril liant review of the dishonorable, huckstering, vascillating and inconsistent course of the Presi dent and his Administration respecting tho ex- sting most miserable and detestable war. Wc have read the article through a second time with increased gratification. It is invincible both in.its facts and arguments, and well enti tled to the cool and dispassionate attention of every American citizen who, in great National exigencies, loves his Country as heartily as he despises the grovelling spirit of mere Party. The able, eloquent and patriotic Editor of the Intelligencer is entitled to the warm gratitude of the people of the whole Union for the firm, judicious, consistent and unwavering manner in which he has resisted both tho unconstitu tional and utterly reckless measures that directly led to this War upon a Republic witli whom this great nation ought to be too magnanimous to quarrel, and against tho War itself. His blows, directed by a vigorous, cool and logical intellect, havo struck fire more than once from the flinty head of the Government editor and organ. TAi's time, however, that sapient expo nent and apologist of Presidential folly is com pletely at fault for a tciggle! We are sure our readers will like to sec in what manner the lnion meets the cgent statements and argu ments of tills merciless castigation of its mas ter, and we therefore givo them a specimen. Verily, the organ of this popular Administration is driven into straightened circumstances when its only remaining resource is the silly twaddle, and convulsive attempts at wit liko the follow ing i From the Union of the ICtA intt. The Avalanche. We know not what more appropriate name to give to the iong and elaborate editorial of the ' National Intelligencer" of Saturday last unless, indeed, it might also pass under the name of the mammoth arti cle occupying, text and notes together, almost eight of the ponderous columns of that journal ! Its very magnitude is a burlesque upon all " fair and decent1' discussion. Few men have time to read it, or even the courage 10 undertake if Tliose who seriously at tempt It, must proceed, by degrees, to enrry on ihe siege. The must take it leisurely attacking one part of it before their meals, and part after their meals now. in the cool of the morning, and then in the cool of the evening.

They may well say, (to us the cant phraseology of Ihe day,) "We have seen the ele phant;" but they can, in honor, say very little more.

The two sub-divisions of the " Harmonious Democracy" in Albany the Old Hunkers and the Barnburners are getting entirely beyond negociation, and beginning to resort to the ultima ratio." On Saturday, the 1 2th hist. , Mr. Peter Caggcr, a gentleman whose principal occupation, as we infer from the name of his faction, is burning barns, concluded to diversity the monotony of that agreeablo pursuit by be stowing upon Mr. Edwin Croswcll, who is the Palinurus of tho Old Hunker gun-boat, a regular licking" in (he streets of the old Dutch Me tropolis ! The provocation is alleged to be that Mr. Croswell had made quito free with Mr. Cagger's name, or his business, (wo don't pre tend to know which,) in the columns of his Albany Argus, whereat Mr. Cagger was ex ceeding wroth and became infected with bloody thoughts. Catching Mr. Croswell in State street, lie asked him, with genuine Pickwickian politeness, if he irere the editor of his ou-njiaper ! and on that astonished gentleman's replying in the affirmative, he (Mr. Caggcr) made Inime d ate arrangements for " chawing him up" after the most approved modern style of fists and cow hides. Mr. Croswell, however, declined tho " chaw ;" and helping himself to Mr. Cagger'a weapon, with the least possible ceremony, was proceeding to certain hostile extremes with that gentleman, when "the affair" was brought to an inglorious close by the interposition of the bystanders ! This is all we know about it, and of tins we do not by any means feel entirely certain. We believe Mr. Croswell got rather the best of it, though we cannot help admiring the considerate magnanimity of Mr. Cagger in attacking the venerable editor in a public thoroughfare so that he Cagger could be " held " if he were likely to be too hard upon the veteran politician i whether von come bv the Rutland route, the road through the " Gulf," in Randolph nud Williamslown, through Northfield, or through Chelsea, the lover of nature will meet witli a trent he will not roon forget.

No douht the University in this place has done much toeietalc, improve & establish these cliaracttr.stics of the society ol llurimgglou. it nns recently oeen lavnrea with a liberal donation of a very large amount ;if I am not mistaken its sum is fifty thousand dollars, the mu nificent bounty of a number of generous benefactors, which secures its continuance upon a permanent and abiding basis. This College has justly earned a favor able reputation from the high standing and talents of tne gentlemen who are, or nave oeen, connected wiin it. Among them wc may mention President Whee ler, Prolessurs Torrcy, Benedict, and others. Several of the gentlemen connected with this University rank deservedly high, for their proficiency in the natural sciences, and, ill this respect, it will compare very fa vorably even with Harvard and Ynle. Unconnected with the University, this place posses ses another gentleman, who, although almost unknoivn out of the limits ot his own town, and not fully appre ciated there, isone of the best naturalists in the coun try. Modest and retiring to the extreme in his dispo sition, unlike so many olhers.far from renhsing his own powers and claims to regarutnenasuevoiea Him self, in complete seclusion and retirement, to the study of nature, lie hnsbeen recently drawn somewhat out id ids usual seclusion, to take an important part in the geological a irvey of this Stale.

I spent a dehghtlul hour in his sociely, and wos obli ged to tear myself from it wuh great regret. The gen Reman of whom 1 have been sneakiui; occupies no public station, and the requirements of propriety. therefore, forbid that I should trespass upon his priva cy , by the public mention ot his name. I hope should this ever chance to fall before his eye, that he will ex cuse me.it I have gone too far in referring to him at all. 1 trust the day may come wnen tne worm may know his transcendent though modest merits, as well as your correspondent when his name need no longer be held back lor the fear of a violation of the saucltty of private life, and when be may be enabled to pour out for Ihe benefit of others ihe fruit ofhii years of dili gent and attentive study of the beauties and wonders oi nature. The following is the style in which the Cou rier discourses upon Burlington and its " fix ings." As to Mr. Buckingham's strictures up on Uncle Sam's Custom House, it is evident that ho had not been inside of it ! So wc shall not inform him about the winding stairs, the lofty corridors, or the marble floors that that unambitious exterior conceals. Mr. B. should remember the maxim, " minium necretlecolori," and not draw hasty conclusions from appearan ces. When he visits Burlington ai'ain, we hope he will call on our gentlemanly Collector who, we doubt not, will take pleasure in exhibit. ing the unseen beauties of his official palace, Will Mr. Buckingham please not bestow nicknames upon the grand old Adikosdack Mountains ? As we approached Burlington, the hills or moun tains on ihe. other side of Lake Champtaiu appeared to view, ond for miles we rode on, with the Green Mountains behind and each side of us, and the Adi- norack Mountains in front. The sky was overcast wuh clouds, which, as they moved to ond fro, occa sionally let out the raysot ihe sun, first upon one bill capital !" The simple truth is, most of the immense swarm of Letter writers in Mexico don't attempt to expurgate the true intelligence from the false, but in their hot zeal fur giving the latest news' send off just what twaddle and humbug assails their cars. The consequence is that the truth in their voluminous and fast-coming communi cations bears about tho ratio to the falsehood that a drop of water docs to the Lake. We can only inform our readers that Gen. Scott and bis army aro still at I'uo'jU, and that Gen. Taylor remains at Monterey. When they go farther we will chronicle tho fact. Santa Anna has resigned the Presidency,thouph it is not stated that his resignation had been ac cepted. In the letter communicating his reso lution to retire he says: My conviclions are so sirong thnt I cannot douht that 1 ought not to retain the functions of the Presi dency, nor even bear the name of President ; and therefore it is I supplicate Congreas to relieve me from it forthwith, audio ileclare itself in permanent sess ion until it shall name some person to take charge of mat responsiDie uuiy. I hove complied with the call of my country till my force ia almost exhausted. I nave consecrated to jt my life, thelortune of my children, and even my own reputation ; my blood has been shed and my limbs hove been scattered in its defence and with pride I this day forever tcminnte my public career, without fear of infamy, and with a conviction that my services have been tlie offspring of loyalty and patriotism. I shall carry an upright countenance wherever for tune may lead me, and shall be able to say with sat isfaction, that I have not to drag about a dishonored name, of which my countrymen should be ashamed; but they will see in me a Mexican, loyal and potiiotic, who in all his efforts had but one object, his own honor and the happiness and tgrandizement of bis country, I pray your Excellencies to lay this before the Sov ereign Congress, and to receive the assurances of my particular consideration.

Ho. t.ve. Jour. O" Our neighbor of the Sentinel is falling into the Gazette vein in giving its War news. The following mysterious paragraph occurj in its " latest accounts" : A nrivste letter from Jalana savs that Col. Lnw- rence, bearer of dispatches, ond one of his escort were killed on the Vera Cruz road. This doubtless is a mistake for aour. Of course wc can't pretend to say whether it really t's a " mistake for sour," or not. There is nothing very sweet about it certainly. By the way, is the above one of the " Reports from all quarters" which the Sentinel says " show that the Mexicans prefer our rulers to their own ?" Will the Irasburgh Record inform the public who wrote " the beautiful lines on the occasion ot the death" of Mrs. Harvey, of Barton? Vt. Patriot of June 10. . The Record replies that it "does not know," and aa the Patriot maintains a " masterly in activity" in the matter, we are constrained to believe that our well-informed contemporary "does not know" that the lines in question (unquestionably-" beautiful1') were written by Mr. Woljt, an Irish clergyman, who is also shrewdly suspected of being the author of those" glorious verses, " The burial of Sir John Moore." Mr. Nott's Letters on the Wool Trade. Our readers who are specially interested in the matter will find on our first page No. 3 of Mr. Nott's able, interesting and useful " Letters on the Wool Trade." Wo suppose it is hardly necessary that wc should commend these letters to the attention of our Farmers. They are the work of an educated, practical and common sense man, and deal in plain facts and illustra tions well calculated to be of service to the wool grower. In the letter which wo publish to-day, the following passage occurs :- A fanner sold his wool ill a neighboring city, lot! year, for thirty cents a pound. lie has this moment carried his wool to the same place, clipped from the same sheep, aud every way a lot of wool similar lo that of last year, lie has driven from one end of the street to the oilier, and hss been offered only twenty four cents per pound." It will be observed, by referring to tlie date of tlie letter, that the words " last year " refer to 1845. " The greatest and smallest man in the world ar rived m town yeiierdsy morning from New Yoik, via-Hie fall liner Kailroad, iz: Daniel Webster and Gen. Tom Thumb." Boston Trantcript. The above is rather an incongruous mixture or ills physical and intellectual. If Mr. Webster had deferred his return to Boston until the pe riod of the reported Presidential t isit to that city, the 1 ranscript man would have had a rare chance We have therefore aimed to build a first class road, both s to permanency and ca pacity for business ; and so far as the permanency of the road already completed is concerned, ore pieasea to renort. that the test of the uast soring floods has served to confirm our best expectations no damage having occurred on any part ot me line, save me in considerable washing ot embankments to which all new work is subject. While lio reasonable expense has been spared to secure the excellence and permanency of ine road when completed,, there is every reason to anticipate! that the est of the whole wotk will justify the expec tations held out to the stockholders. The condition of the finances of the company will appear from Ihe statement of the Tteasurer, who i required by ihe 'ByLawsj to report to you, and who 'will doubtless make such suggestions as ihe interests of the Company require. During Ihe past year the relations of this Company witli all others, with which ils interests are connected, hive been of the most friendly character ; and ar rangements, deemed necessary for the mutual benefit of each, have been made in a spirit of liberality and justice which promises future harmony.

O.i the Western terminus ol the Central Road, the Vermont and Canada Railroad Company is ahoul to organize, and the Northern New Yoik road, from Loke Chomplain lo Ogdensburgh, holds out encouraging prospects lor speedy success. Capitalists of Boston nud stockholders of some of tho railroad corporations in interest, having already msde liberal subscriptions to its stock , the stockholders of iho Central Road are now asked to lake stock to the oniount ol $25,000 ; ond we embrace ihis occasion to extend tlie invitation to you. and most cordially io re commend ils acceptance. The Northern New York road is 115 miles in length, and the eslimnted cost of a first class road, of superior capacity tor transporta tion, exclusive of road furniture, is t'JW.OoO or barely fjl'J.UM per mile. It will smke Ihe lowest (pint oi sate navigation from all the large Northern likes, and with the V, nnont Cenirol and other con necting roads, form a line of urttnlemipted railroad transportion to Boston, shorter by iwo hundred miles than the present line from Bullalo to Boston, and shot ter by .about pne hundred and silly miles lhan ihe line of transportation by railroad or canal, and the North River, from Buffalo to New York.
