NOTICE.?Persons indebted to the National Whig
for advertisements, are respectfully requested to ma Wo
pay oftent fim* It the Proprietor in person, or to Mr.
G. L. Oillchrest, who is our sole Agent, and whose
receipts alone wmI be recognized by us as valid.
Mr. Grund, the able Washington correspon
dent of the Baltimore Sun speaks of the naacent
Hero of the war. We should like to know
where he will find full grown ones if they are
only nascent I Why does not Mr. Polk give
hina that commission ? ?
The Washington Union says that whatever
is calculated to injure the President must in
jure the country. We do not think, says Pren
tice, that our country would suffer any more
just pow from ab injury to the name of James
K. Polk than 8anta Ana would from a wound
ioAieted on his wooden leg.
Last Conundrum?please send answer.
"There goes another nail in Polk's cof
fiQ |? was the bye-word at Buena Vista when
a Mexican was seen to fall.
gj- Old Zach has been nominated by people
of both parties at Mecklenburg Court House,
Va. for the Presidency. What do you think
of that Mr. Ritchie?
The Agent of the Jackson Monument Asso-1
ciation meets with no encouragement in New
Orleans. What is the matter?
Gen. Houston was present at the anniversa
ry of the battle of San Jacinto lately and en
joyed it greatly. We have no doubt he en
joyed it vastly more than he did the battle it
self!
QCh Last Sunday was a day to be remem
beied in Patterson, N. J. Two fires broke out
and burnt property to the value of near $75,
000?one man tried to kill another?and an
other man tried to hang himself!
09-The two Anti-Rent Whig nominees for
Judges of the Court of Appeals in New York
hare declined.
It has been trying to rain in all the Eastern
cities for the last few weeks, as well as in the
District.
Six tons ot hemp have been taken by the
government from Louisville. They mean to
nave rope enough.?LouitviUe Journal?
To hang themselves.
\ Pillow's Brigade was the only one repulsed
at Cerro Gordo!
j Mr. Fiourney, to. will contest the election of
his opponent, who, it seems, is elected by one
majority, and not 68, as last reported.
Of The Tallahassee, Fla. people have given
the starving Irish $900. They will have their
reward.
The new Ocean Steamship Washington
made a trjal up at New York the other day
and worked wonders?in the bay. She ought
to burn Cumberland coal. It is the best she
can get in the world.
The madman Cresson, who has been cutting
tap such capers in Jerusalem, is a real United
States Consul. He is not more mad than the
rest of Mr. Polk's consuls abroad!
They ate 4000 bushels of strawberries at
Cincinnati last year!
The Chinese authorities have bestowed
great favor upon the Missionaries at Amoy, in
public, and thousands now confess their faith
in Christ?no longer being deterred by those
above them.
The Tory Inquirer at Richmond ridicules
the oaaAM we published a day or two ago
about Gen. Taylor. Go on, Geutlemen, a
change will come over your dream before
many days!
A stampede of negro slaves took place at
Maysville, Ky., a few days ago. They are
gone to help to people the wilds of Ohio and
Canada.
It has been said here, on authority, that Mr.
Clay has. not given any direct and positive
countenance to the proposed selection of Gen.
Taylo, as the Whig candidate for the next
Presidency. [JV. Y. Com. Adv.
That's not Whig authority?that's certain.
The President, it is said, has adopted Col.
Yell's son. Who will adopt the thousands of
other ehildren made orphans by the President's
war? There is no father for them?but He
who ia in heaven. May he temper the wind
to the shorn lamb.
The New York Courier and Enquirer is sa
vage against two of the nominees for appeal
judges on the Whig ticket, because they are
Anti-Renters. He goes against them and runs
an independent ticket of 2 Whigs and 2 Dem
craM?takes from the nominated tickets.
the Editor of the JVatimud Whig:
Si*: Mr. Benton, in hia late speech it St. Louia,
?peaking of the ceaaion of Texas to Spain, and com
plaining bitterly of thaa " giving it away," aaya:
" Mr. Adama had oppoaed that article of the trea
ty at the council table when the majority of Mr.
Monroe's cabinet adopted it. Out tbia waa not
known to him (Mr. B.) until long afterward*."
And a little further on he again aaya :?
" Mr. Adama at the council table voted against
the article which gave Texaa away ; Mr. Clay in the
House of Representatives denounced the ceaaion.
Tbey mad* the firat effort to get it back," dec.
Now it ia well known that Mr. Adama ha* been
denounced throughout the whole South for - giving
Texaa away" with corrupt intent. The Richmond
Enquirer, true to its instinct of hitred to Mr. Ad
ama, and to subserve certain purpoaea in regard to
Texas, was the main aource of the alander. Cor
rupt and sectional in all its aims and feelings, it
could not tolerate the idea that patriotism, emb.ac
ing a regard for the whole country, and political
honesty, reigned in any bosom.
We have the very beat authority, the word of Mr.
Adams, that the charge ia false. Mr. Benton admits
it. But will the Richmond Enquirer retract- it 1
Never. Will the author of the blustering, incohe
rent jargon, published to the Virginia public in the
Enquirer, under the name of " Randolph or Ro
anokk, who brought forward the charge and re
vamped and presented it in the moat odtais light
will he withdraw it? Will he now come forward
and honestly confess, that he made use of the charge
recklessly and audaciously, to subserve certain ends J
and that he cared not whether it was true or false,
?o that it afiawercd the purpose! I merely aak for
information. For one, I do not like to be represent
ed abroad by a person who could find it iu bis heart
to be guilty of such gross injustice. But will he re
tract the charge 1 My word for it?never! He does
not belong to that school. W,
The way the Mexican war may be brought
to an end.
Married?At Mier, Mexico* on the 25th,
ult. Mr. Jack P. Everett, lately of Mobile, to
Miss Amoniette Garcea, of the fcrtner'place.
The Legislature of Connecticut has rejected
a proposed amendment to the State Consti
tution striking the word 'white' out of that
instrument, so as to place negroes and whites
on the same footing in regard to suffrage. The
vote stood nays 124 to 60 yeas?two-thirds be
ing required. Negrophilism is not yet in the
majority in this tight little Slate.
CO* The editor of the New Orleans Mercury
says he should like to know "how much gall
e chemist would be able to extract from two
such Whig papers as the Louisville Journal
akd the Philadelphia North American." Pren
tice would like to know how many wooden nut
megs a Yankee pedlar would be able to make
out of Mr. Polk's head and Santa Ana's leg.
' OO-The President and one or two of his Cab
inet ministers are to leave Washington on the
28th of the present month for North Carolina.
During the Administration of John Q. Adams,
thre used to be a great deal said about "travel
ling Cabinets," but we presume nobody ob
jects now to letting Mr. Polk and his Cabinet
travel as much as they please. For our own
part, says Prentice, we hope they may travel
so far from the Capital as never to find their
way back again f There is not a man in Wash
ington who would not rejoice if such could
only be the case.
Benton's Last Card. The St. Louis Union con
tains a rich card from Mr. Benton, denying that he
ever intrigued to get Col. Fremont placed in com
mand over Genera] Kearny, as stated by Mr. Grund
the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger and the Baltimore Sun. Of Mr. Grund he
holds the following language, which hit* Mr. Bu
chanan over Grund'a shoulders, for Grund is hi* in
timate.
I do not publish it to contradict the Washington
letter-writer, nor do I object to his inclading my two
sons-in-law in his old and daily work against me :
but I think that a writer who assumes to be semi
official, and to have a knowledge of unpublished des
patches, and who ia certainly cormorant, eouehant
levant about the departments, ought to have more
respect for the President than to make him, my in
strument, and subject to my influence, in an intrigue
to put Brigadier General Kearney under the com
mirid of Lieutenant Colonel Fremont.
c , ? ? THOMAS H. BENTON.
St. Louis, May 14, 1847.
?Eating, lying down, and getting up.
OO-The blood of hundreds of valuable Amer
ican citizens, very truly says one ol our officers
writing from Jalapa, justly rests upon the
hands of Mr. Polk for his short-sighted act in
permitting the return of Santa Ana, and for
its shedding, he will be held responsible both
here and hereafter.
CO- Gen. Pillow, says a Jalapa correspond
ent of the St. Louis Republican, notwithstand
ing all his efforts to become the "big toad in
the puddle," is the ooly one that retires inglori- I
ously from the field. The Tennessee, and one
of the Pennsylvania Regiments, denounce him
in unmeasured terras for his course in' the
futile efforts to storm one of the strong works
of the enemy, leaving Col. Haskell, who made
the advance with but three hundred men,
wholly unprotected and unsustained in the
charge.
Mr. Polk, says Prentice, intends making a
visit to North Carolina in June. In doing this
he will be imposing an exceedingly disagreea
ble task upon the true hearted men of North
Carolina. Lest they might subject themselves
to the imputation of treating with inhospitnlity
and neglect the President of the United States,
they will be under the revolting necessity of
rendering seeming honors to James K. Pollc.
The mortality among our troops at Santa
e, in New Mexico, has been very great. Up
wards of three hundred of them have fallen
victims to the disease of the climate.
TUB MORMONS.
HIGHLY INTERESTING.
As the public are already awaie, (say? the St.
Louis Republican,) the head quarters of this sect,
for some lime past, have been at the camp of the
"Twelne," near Council Bluffs, west of the Mis
souri rjver, in the Indian territory. In this local
ity about four thousand remained during the past
winter; while the remainder of those who left Il
linois, and who did not disperse over the coun
try, amounting to soma ton or twelve thousand,
are scattered along in a due we?t line fromNauvoo
to the Missouri river?principally in settlements
upon the head waters of Grand river, the Little
? Platte, and the streams of the Ishnabotany, in the
territory lately ceded to the United States by the |
Pottawattomies. The main body of them are
about forty miles east of the Bluffs, which b?ing
well timbered, enabled them to prepare for the
rigors of the past winter. It is the intention of the
whole of them to gather at the Bluffs aa fast as
they can, with the bona fide design of removing to
California?as many crQssing the mountains each
season as can possibly be prepared for the jour
ney.
Last year they founded two principal stoppings
in Iowa, immediately west of the county of Appa
noose, where large numbers of them congregated
who had no means of proceeding further. At each
of these places (known as Garden Grove and
Mount Pisgah) they put in crops. Those who oc
cupied these pointa last season are to remove one
sta$e further west this spring?perhaps to ihe
Bluffs?and their improvements are to be taken
possession of by the remnant who left Illinois late
last fall, and have been scattered in the frontier
settlements of Missouri and Iowa. They intend
farmibg largely at the Bluffs this season, in order
to fit out a large number to emigrate to California
next spring.
In April last, the leaders of the church, together
with a pioneer corps of three hundred men, well
provided with seeds and utensils for farming,
started for the Pacific. Their intention is to pro
coed as far as possible, up to the period of neces
sary planting time, when they will atop and com
mence a crop. The leadera will make but a short
delay at this point, and will proceed over into Cali
fornia, and communicate with or join the disbanded
forces of the " Mormon Battalion," whoae period of
service will expire on the first of July next. With
these they will select a locality as a focus for immi
gration, and make such provision for the arrival of
their friends as may seem to them best under the
circumstances.
The pioneers which left the Bluffs were expected
to cross the mountains and reach Bear river valley
in time to plant. In this we think they *w ill be dis
appointed, unless they proceed with greater celerity
than we auppose them capable to perform. The
whole of that region is too sterile for cultivation,
with the exception of a small valley within about
twenty miles of the mouth of Bear river, where it
empties into Salt Lake, known by trappers as Cache
valley, where they usually wintered when trapping
was pursued-iu that vicinity. We think this point
too remote to reach in time for plying this season.
About the first of next month between one and
two hundred families, carrying wi)h them eighteen I
months' outfit, of provisions, &c., with a train of
over four hundred wagons, will start to cross the
mountain*?some te overtake and remain with the
pioneers, and others to proceed to the end of their
journey, as they may severally be able. They will
send at least one thousand souls west of the moon
tains this season, deetined to centra in California.
These, with some hundreds who have reached there
by sea, together with near five hundred of their
" Battalion," will, within a few months, make them
quite an integral portion of the limited population of
California. Not more than three or four years can
elapse, if they continue their emigrating system?
and they are sure to do that?before these people
will treble, if not quadruple, the entire present pop
ulation of that territory. At this time they are ma
king strenuous exertions in England; and from
that quarter they have reason to expect, this season,
not only considerable pecuniary assistance, but a
large number of families. And what will give them
a greater preponderance there ia, that from their for
mer character, their social and political ascendancy
will be dreaded, and the tide of every other class of
emigration will be diverted to higher latitudea,where
there will be no commingling or juxtaposition. That
their social and political characteristics will be
stamped upen the future coudition and history of
California we believe to be certain; and we fear in
such colors a* will not cause the bosom of philan
thropy te rejoice, or show a progress in the moral
elevation of the present era. Industry they undoubt
have, and they possess within themselves all the ele
ments to make any community properous; but they
are imbued with dogmas which deeply affect their
social and domestic condition?we fear rumor does
not slander them in thia. As philanthropists we
have a deep faith in the conservative virtues of hu
man nature ; and we hope that in their case better
and mere correct influences may yet prevail in their
midat. In whatever light we view them, their in
tended poaiiion will give them an enlarged influence
on the Pacific, visible to the world at large, and they
are destined to become a people of more or leaa in
terest.

The St. Louis Republican regards Mr. Polk
as a weak andsubservient President. He is any
thing but that, sir. Ask his Cabinet, aslc Mr.
Benton, ask any of his party friends, and they
will tell you, that he is the most imperious,
shrewd, and far teeing man who has ever sat in
the Chair of State. Every man who is em
ployed by him is his tool or he is thrown aside
in double quick time.
Qeneral Scott, for eight or ten days past, says
| the Jalapa correspondent of the St. Louis Re
publican, has been a good deal indisposed, and
is much depressed in spirits. His indisposition
is occasioned by the chills, that have from time
to lime visited him during the above period j
land his depression of spirits arises from his
present apprehensions that he will be unable to
make his army a self-sustaining machine.?
Another matter that aids in the depression of
his spirits, is the disappointment he has expe
rienced in not seeing any probability of a pro
position for an armistice being made by Santa
Ana?on the contrary, the exercise of all his
influence and energies to recuperate his forces
for renewed hostilities towards us.
Thsse guerrilliata we regard in the same light that
our nation views privateers-?entitled to none of the
privilege* of war, and only fit subjects for the halter.

I and Baltimore 8un, informs the public that Msjor
Hobbie, of the General Post Office, is going put to
Bremen, in the new ocean steamer Washington, to
perfect the Post Office arrangements between Bre
men, England, aud the United States. This is the
most sensible thing that Mr. Polk has done since he
mounted the chair be now occupies.
QCj* In the Raleigh District, North Carolina, the
Democracy have four candidates in the field, one of
whom, Mr. H. I. Toole, goes for Old Zach for Pre
sident. The Tories have up J. J. Daniel, late
M. C. He goes in for the nominee of a Tory Con
vention for President. He may go for such a
I nominee till dooms-day?-he will never overtake him,
Toole, it is thought, will be returned from this Dis
trict. So mote it be!
Somebody in the 8t. Louis Republican, writing a
I puff of Mr. Premont, complains that modest merit is
so often allowed to languish and pine in neglect and
obscurity. The son-in-law of Mr. Benton can never
be the victim of such a law of society while his fa
| ther is his trumpoter.
