SICKNESS.
During the month of August, nick-
not, io an aiarming exiem, nas prevail-
eJ throughout the surrounding country.
In this immediate vicinity, we have had
but little to complain of. In a location
like ours, high and dry, and far above
the reach of the sickening miasma which
rises from the ponds and sloughs of the
bottoms, we could not, in reason, ex-
pect aught else but health. But from
other portions of the country, we hear
me most alarming accounts.

Circuliir The I'nited States have
c.i!;s miniated the peifi.iy against
.Mexico, by sanctioning ihe deciee
which declares the annexation of the
department of Texas to that Repub
lic. The injustice of that liiurpa
tion is apparent, and .Mexico cannot
tolerate such a grave injury without
making an ellort to prove to the Uni
ted Stales the possibility of her abil
ity to cause her l ights to be respbet
ed. With this object the Supreme
Government has resolved upon a de
claration of war against that power,
seeing that our forbearance, instead
nf being leceived as a proof of our
trim. Ily disposition, has been inter
prrlcd into an acknowledged impos
sibility on our part to carry on a
successful war.
Such nneiroroii hc put of the
United States will he advantageous
to Mexico, because, suddenly aban
doning its pacific attitude, it will to
morrow communicate to Congress
the declcratiou of war, and excite
the patriotism of iti citizens to sus-
j tain the dignity of the nation and the
'integrity of its territory, now treach-

-I True Pic t tm: A young man
who formerly lived in Now York,

other, during a short residence in Eu

sum of money, on his return to that
city thus desciibes what he calls

me, on mv return from Kurope to
New York, was the discovery of so
many new senses, when I discovered
so many wealthy men who compose
the codfish aristocracy of New York,
extending their hands to me, and ex
pressing their great delight at seeing
me again, although before I left New
York, those same nabobs would have
looked down upon me with disdain it

and almost wish l was not worth a
shilling in the world! On the other
hand I met some good honest friends
in humble circumstances, who almost
approached nie with awe and then
I felt ashamed of human nature.
What a miserable, pitiful, and dis
