A Terrible Crisis at lianil.
SEIZURE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH PRO
PERTY IN MEXICO DETERMINED ON
BY MR. POLK.
It is not as a religious body, but as an engine of
state, that the Catholics ot Mexico look upon us
with a hostile eye. It is for their own special po
litical purposes?to retain their vast possessions
which impoverish the nation?to sustain their
own hierarchy, which lords it over the people?to
preserve their power, which weighs down the rest
of the community into the slough of ignorance and
slavery?that they are thus solicitous and active.
It is a zeal for the mammon of unrighteousness?
not for the welfare of souls?which inspires and
animates the Catholics of Mexico.
In this aspect of the case, it may become a mat
ter of grave consideration, if the church continues
to oppose a peace and furnish the fuel of war
whether the immense revenues of the church in
Mexico shall be left untouched?whether they
shall be suffered to remain at the disposal of the
enemy, and to be applied to sustain the war against
us-c-whether justice and policy do not equally dic
tate that they should at least be sequestered during
the continuance of the war as a legitimate means
of cutting off the enemy's supplies.
The experience we have already had on this
point leads to another suggestion. Cannot Mexico
be prevailed upon to adopt a more tolerant sys
tem ? Could not the two nations agree that reci
procal stipulations should be made, for the free
and unrestricted enjoyment of religious liberty
within the territories of both nations ? Indepen
dently of the great good which would thereby re
sult to the whole Christian commonwealth, and to
ourselves as constituting a part of it, it may with
ferfect truth be said,|that no greater blessing?no
igheror more substantial benefit could be be
stowed upon Mexico herself. It may well be
doubted whether such an arrangement would not
be productive of advantages to both countries,
which would more than compensate for all the
expenses and losses of the war; and our invasion
of .Mexico be the parentof her general civilization,
diffused intelligence, wide-spread happiness, and
?olid prosperity.? Washington Union, May 11.
Wil peace follow our most glorious success at
?ierra Gorda? This is a reflection which occupied
the thoughts of every rational man. Some, how
ever, there are, who are well acquainted with Mex
ican politics, that believe otherwise; and that the peo
ple of this country, rather than enter into terms of
peace, either honorable or dishonorable to it and the
United States, would prefer a military occupation.
Well then be it so?it behoves the Government of
the United States to look around; let it sum up the
force in time necessary for military occupation, should
the same be found requisite, and see if that plan can
be accomplished. We think, candidly speaking, the
following force will be required only:
Tampico 1 Regiment Ciuanajuerto 3 Regiments
Vera Cruz 1 do Zaceteras 4 do
Jalapa 2 do San Luis 3 do
Puebla (? do Durango 2 do
Mexico 10 do Chihuahua 2 do
Queretara 3 do Saltillo 1 do
Matainoros 1 do Guadalajara 5 do
Oajaca 3 do
Making in all 47 regiments, amounting, accor
ding to the present regulations of the United States,
to 40,000 men, which to a certainty would be
enough to carry out the military occupation of the
country. The expenses of these 40,000 troops will
amount to $15,000,000 per annum which we shall
have to pay. We can raise $20,000,000 annually
from Mexico, by customs and direct taxes, besides
?ales of public lands.
Vera Cruz Eagle, April 22.
We have taken the pains to republish the above
extracts from the two leading journals in the confi
dence of the Administration?the one under the
nose of the President himself and the other under
the eye of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of
the United States?for the express purpose of letting
our readers see the real object of this war against
Mexico. It has been repeatedly charged that the
real policy of the Administration was to get posses
sion of the whole of Mexico, and with a view to its
entire subjugation, to make the war, a war of races
and of religion. This charge has been stoutly de
nied by the Aministration presses and leaders, until
there is no longer any necessity for denying it. It
is now openly avowed by the Union in the extract
which we have mado from its leading article of
Tuesday night that such is the policy of the govern
ment If words can express the design of the Ad
ministration in this particular more decidedly, we
do not know where to find them. It says that the
Government has it under grave consideration the
mode of the expression used by the Union is equiv-1
aleat to an affirmation of the fact?whether it will
not order the sequestration of the Church propertv
in Mexico. This means that it has decided to take
this step. The future will prove that we are not
wrong in our assertion.
The whole tenor of the* Union's article is to show
the public, that the Administration has determined
to seize upon the property of the Catholic church in
Mexico, and to devote it to the suatainment of our
armies in the war against that country, and that one
of the grand objecta of the war ia to break down the
church aB a state power, and establish religious tole
ration among the Mexican people. We invoke the
attention of the reader again and again to thin re
markable revelation of the policy of our Government
?and also to the feeler put out by the Vera Cruz
Eagle respecting ihe military occupation of Mexico.
We said some days ago that the Administration was
preparing to apring upon the country the question
of the annihilation of Mexico?and lo, our prediction
i? already fulfilled. The Vera Cruz Eagle brings it
forward in ail ita amplitude of detail, and the Union
proclaims to the world that our watchwords, hereaf
(er, are to be?Down with the Mexican Catholic
church, and up with the banner of Toleration
Seizure of th* Catholic church property in Mexico
for the expenses of the war!
It will remain for the people of the United States
to say whether they will permit President Polk, in
dependently of Congress, to reduce all Mexico under
the military dominion of the United States, by en
acting, of his own free will and power, tariff laws
for the Mexican porta, and by aeizing upon the trea
sures and property of the Mexican Catholic church,
to defray the expenditures of the reduction and occu
pation of the territory of Mexico. We are evidently
on the eve of a terrible criai* !
TELEGRAPHIC.
Telegraphic Correspondence of the National Whig
Fhkdkricksburo, May 12, 1847.
No Southern news.
Petersburg District Election doubtful.
The Navy Yard.?The following extract
from a letter of the able correspondent of the
Phil. North American will no doubt be grati
tying to our Iriends in that section of our city.
The Navy Yard, where the idea of the illumina
tion was first suggested, did itself infinite credit by
its display. Almost every house and cabin, together
, with all the public workshops and vessels were gor
geously lighted up, while the immense multitude
were regaled with an unusually fine display of fire
works. Bonfires were lo be seen in all directions,
and constant peals of merry bells, interspersed with
thunders of applauae" from cannon at various
points, and showers of pyrotechnic stars gave a zest
and happiness to the occasion, which was felt and
expressed on all sides.
Capt. Weiohtman, who unlimbered his bat
tery within fifty yards of the redoubts of the
Mexicans at Sacramento, received his military
education at West Point. He is the son of one
of our most esteemed citizens, and has done
honor to his native city, and gratified in no
small degree, his relatives and friends, by his
gallant bearing on that occasion.
A report was current yesterday, says the N.
O. Bulletin of the 4th instant, said to be found
ed on a letter from Vera Cruz, that Sahta
Ahwa had been shot. We shall not be sur
prized to learn that such has been the case.
Capt. S. H. Walker.?The steam-shij:
Mary Kingsland left New Orleans on the 3c
instant for Vera Cruz with 150 men and hor
ses, belonging to the command of Captain
Walker, of the Rifles.
The Nashua Telegraph,'the editor a Whia
member of the N. H. Leg.slature, has not seer
the least evtdence that Gen. Taylor is the first
choice ol any individual lor the Presidency.
Boston ( Tory) Post.
No wonder?his vision is obstructed by a
fat Government advertisement!
Naval.?The U. S. Schooner Flirt Lieut.
Coind'g J. S. Palmer, sailed on Monday from
Hampton Roads for the Gulf. The U. S.
Steamer Polk, Com'r Ogden, arrived at New
York last Wednesday, 4 days hence. The
Schooner Spitfire with apparatus on board for
raising the U. S. Brig Somers was tosail from
Lambert's Point for the Gulf yesterday. The
U. S. Brig Perry sailed from New York for
the coast of Africa on Friday last.
Rough ann Ready Soap.?Lloyd's Rough
and Ready Soap, advertised in another column
by Stott, Druggist, we can recommend to every
body, and especially to our Tory friends now
in Office. If they will use it every day it will
cleanse them of every particle of Toryism,
and they will then be able to stand in the'
presence of old Zach in 1849, with some de
gree of self-respect and comfort. It is a real
Whig Soap?balsamic, softening, refreshing,
civilizing.
Od- During the New York illumination one
man, who was houseless and landless, walked
about with a transparent hat?" Rough and
Ready" shone in illuminated letters upon
that covering of his head."
Albany* May lO.-The canal toll for the
first week will exceed 200,000 dollars. Lake
Champlain is open. The Laranac and Lalius
reached St. Johns on Friday, where they
landed 700 passengers from Montreal.
Boats commenced their trips to Quebec on
Thursday. The Lake below Sorel was foil of
ice. May day at Nicolet was celebrated by
planting a May Pole covered with ribbons on
the ice.
Od- The Evangelical Alliance has, to use the
language of Mr. Wick, "fizzled out." It
opened with a flourish of trumpets, and pio
claimed Christian Union as its sole object.
Before its sessions closed, it threw aside the
Gospel of Christ, and made a new Gospel for
credence in which a new commandment was I
enacted, viz . Thoa shalt keep thy fellow man
in bondage. The whole number who signed
the articles are 194 servants of Christ.
Though some may think them out of place,
These lines are here to fill the space!

OO- The Eaton, (Ohio) Register of the 6th
iustant contains a notice of a sad and unusual
dispensation of Providence, from which we
copy the following:
Died?On the 24th ult.,Dr. Peleg Whit
ridge, aged 51 years.
On the 29th ult. Dr. John C. Whilridge,
aged 53 years.
On the 2nd inat. L. W. Whilridge, aged 39
years.
The deceased all died of an acute affection
of the lungs. They were all brothers, and re
sidents of ihe town of New Paris, in this coun
ty?all in the prime of life, active, enterprising
business men.
03* General Taylor's name, says the Louis
ville Journal, is now at the head of the col
umns of nearly every Whig paper in the coun
try. And when was old Rough and Ready
known to be otherwise than invincible at the
head of columns?
CO- We learn that the Hon. J. M. Berrien
was expected to return to Savannah on or
about the 15th instant.
The Magnetic Telegraph. The great South
ern line of the Magnetic Telegraph will be
erected soon. This line will pass through Au
gusta, and it has been decided that from thence
it shall go through Macon, intersecting the
Central Railroad at the ninety mile station.
CO*, The editor of the Washington Union,
says the Louisville Journal, seems to think it
may be necessary lor him to enlarge his paper
to make loom for his official advertisements.
'Can you eat any more, Billy V said a mother
to her pet who had stuffed himself to the throat.
'I rather guess I could, mother, if I were to
loosen my belt.'
St. Louia, May 3d.?Col. Burn's body has
been found in a ravine, where it was taken af
ter the committal of a barbarous murder. A
trader arrived here from Santa Ee who left 8
days after Sublette, reports all quiet there
Nothing had been heard from Chihuahua.
A half million dollars has been remitted to
Santa Fe.
(JO- We learn from the New York Herald
that Mr. Walker is confined to his room, and
his physicians entertain doubts of his ultimate
recovery. His disease is inflammation of the
i bronchia, and his medical attendants appre
hend a sympathetic inflammation of the lungs,
! or that acute inflammation of the bronchia may
! at any moment ensue. He has been enjoined
' to preserve absolute silence, and all business ie
i positively interdicted.
0O- It is said, though we do not vouch foi
, the statement, that the Tories caused the speech
of Mr. Corwin to be done into Spanish and
. sent it to Mexico by Mr. Atocha !
OC^1 If our merchants here ever buy Detroit
flour, let them beware of short weight, as the
> Wolverines have been detected in a fraud oi
1 this kind.
^ 0O- Santa Anna, it is stated, says he is wil
ling to fight regulars and men who fight foi
glory; but he never wants to fight men agair
< who fight for fun. He says they would shoo
his men and then throw up their hats and
halloo ! He don't understand this.
Negro High School.?There is a school
1 of this sort in Cincinnati that boasts of 20C
pupils, one-fourth of whom are charity boys,
, At the last examination of the pupils, ovei
i 1000 spectators were present, and the papers
describe the proficiency of the children as very
remarkable. They excelled most in music,
1 instrumental and vocal.
CO- A German journal states that the appli
cation of Galvanism has been made in Austria
for preserving trees from the ravages of in
sects. The process is simple ; consisting only
in placing two rings, one-of copper and the
other of zinc, attached together, around the
tree or plant. Any insect that touches the
copper, it is said, receives an electric shock,
which kills it or causes it to fall to the ground.
Hands off.?B. H. Wright, of New York,
informs the public that Don Jose Garay, to
whom the Mexican Government granted a
charter to build a canal across the isthmus of
Tehuantepec, has transferred his privilege to
a company in London, who are only waiting
for peace between us and Mexico to com
mence operations. Mr. Polk may now "hang
up his fiddle" in this matter, for the right to
the isthmus having been granted to a neutral
before the war, cannot be taken away by this
Government.
CO- The New Orleans Southerner has an
article bespattering Mr. Walker with praise.
The columns of this journal rejoice in govern
ment advertisements!!
David Tod, the new minister to Brazil, is
in New York on his way to Rio Janeiro.
Wonder whether he iutends to make the jour
ney on foot ?
Fire in the Ohio State Prison.?A fire broke
out in the shops of Messrs. P. Hayden & Co.,
in the Ohio State Prison at Columbus, on the
71h instant, which consumed the entire eastern
wing of shops, about 150 feet in length, and
two stories high.
Oo- The dwelling of Mr. Stephen Ingram,
in Schuyler county, Missouri, was destroyed
by fire on the 22d ult., and his wife and six
children perished in the flames.
OO- A Taylor meeting is about to be held at
Corydon, la. All the folks in that neighbor
hood are for the old hero.
la this wo sign ??The steamboat Luna ar
rived here, says the Louisville Journal, two or
three days ago from New Orleans, with 50 pas
sengers in the cabin, and 81 on deck. Just be
fore her arrival, a vote upon the next Presiden
cy was taken on board of her, and strange as
some may think it, every man, woman, boy,
girl, and child, in cabiu and on deck, was for
old Rough and Ready ! Doesn't this look like
an election Dy acclamation ?
^ Shocking Mgrder.?Mr. Thomas Jefferson
Green, an old resident of this county, says the
Vicksburg Sentinel of the 30th ult., was mur
dered on Tuesday last by two of his own ne
groes. It appears that he was held by one
while the other despatched him by repeated
blows with an axe. They then took the body
to a suitable spot and cut a tree so that it fell
directly across it, and came to the house with
the report that the tree had so fallen without
I design.
CO" A Governat, advertising for a situation,
says 'she is perfect mistress of her own tongue.'
CO* The House of Representatives of Lou
isiana have rejected the vote of thanks to Gen.
Taylor that had passed the Senate. They
; would not have it, eviscerated as it was by
[ the Tories of its very life blood. They are
resolved to give the old Hero the vote of Lou
isiana, and the Tory Senate cannot cheat the
people out of their determination:
Portrait of Gen. Tavlor.?Our thanks,
says the New Orleans Bee, are due to Mr.
Chatillon, for a lithograph of Gen. Taylor
taken from a picture of the old Hero drawn by
I Mr. C. from nature. The likeness is perfect,
and the expression precisely that of Old Rough
I and Ready. Can't Mr. Chatillon send us a
copy ? Our friends of the Bee will please ask
him the favor for us, and send it by mail to
" National Whig."
OCT A convention is to meet at Indianopolis
to-day, wiih a view of producing concert of ac
tion and determining on some plan for the con
struction of a railroad between Cincinnati and
I St. Louts.
CO* The Buffalo Advertiser states that Lieut.
Woodruff, of the topographical engineers,
who has been for several years engaged in the
survey of the Lakes, has been called to Wash
ington, for distant orden. It is surmised that
he will be directed to make an examination of
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with reference to
the now much talked of ship canal to connect
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Of course,
it is perfectly constitutional to pay the money
and employ the talent of the country, to mak'e
reconnoisances for improving foreign coun
tries, but if an engineer's services are wanted
to lay the route for a canal around the falls of
11 St. Peters, it is a horrible violation of the Con
stitution and the Revolutions of 1798! !
CO* We learn from the Macon Journal ?
Musenger, that Mr. Reynolds, Chief Engineer
of the Central RoadMis at present surveying
the- route from Macon to Columbus. No
route wants an iron road more than this does!
Something for Mr. Polk to read. A
military man becomes so sick of bloody scenes
in war, that at peace he is averse to re-com
mence them. I wish that the first minister
M who is called to decide on Peace or War, had
only seen actual service. What pains would
he not take to seek in mediation and compro
mise the means of avoiding the effusion of so
much blood! It is ignorance, and levity,
which is always cruel,, which makes cabinets
lean to the side of war.?Prince Eugene.
CO-Christopher Carson, well known to (he
pioneers of the West, and Fremont's guide in
his explorations of the Oregon and California
Territories, has been appointed Indian Agent
among the tribes of his former hunting and

DR. C A. Van Zandt's Health Restora
tive Pilla is a medicine which not only cares
but prevents disease, capable of great results, and
equally calculated to be safely used for apparently
small ones. We all know how dreadful and dan
gerous a seated bilious disorder is, and we are also
well aware of the seeming insignificance of its first
warnings or incipiency. The individual suffering
from slight pains in his chest, back, or stomach, or
from occasional nausea, dull headache, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of ap
petite, and other disagreeable visitations so common- ,
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms, treated so contemp
