On Saturday, an advertisement, signed by
a Mr. Higdon, reflecting on Mr. David C.
Read and Mr. Solomon Butt, inadvertently
crept into the Natiopal Wnig, in which it never

fully examined. The advertiser is requested
to call at the office, and his money will be re
turned to him.
The annual election for menib* rs of the city

WABHI1IUTON AS IT IS.
June, 1847.
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
NO. I.
Starting from the great North-western gate
of the Capitol Square, which is the Eastern
terminus of Pennsylvania Avenue proper, you
will find au open space on your left 111 the form
uf the letter V, with Maryland avenue for one
of its sides. This space extends frotn the
Capitol Square to 3rd street West and is a
common for cattle grazing. A portion of it,
between 3d street and the Tiber is enclosed
with an ordinary board- fence, by a private
individual for the product of the soil. In the
original plan of the city, this space was intend
ed for a botanical garden, but alas.' for the
science of the American Congress, it has not
yet been able to get its consent to cultivate the
plants of God's earth. It would be unconstim
tional to devote the people's money to the
studies of Linneus and Jussieu ! There is a
small grove ol honey locusts on the margin ol
this would-be-garden near the Capiiol Square,
and a row of them and of elms on the South
side oi Pennsylvania avenue from 1st street to
'-id. On the North side or right hand, going
West, are eleven brick houses and four frames,
occupying this face of the square. One of them
is tl.e elegant private residence of John Purdy,
Esq., entirely new and is three stories in
height. It is .finished in fine style. At the
corner of 2d street and Pennsylvania avenue,
stands Ulysses Ward's large five story build
ing in which the "National Whig"is printed.
It was built expressly for a printing office?is
23 feet front, 95 feet deep, and has 85 doors
and windows in it. The "Weekly Columbian
Fountain" is printed in this building. On this
square are two groceries, one milinery, and
other small fancy shops. Skirting the pave
ment is a fiue row of elms extending from the
Capiiol to 3d street.
In the centre of 2d street west stands a fine,
brick arch bridge thrown across the little stream
called the Tiber or Goose creek. Some few
years ago it was carried away by a heavy
fteshet. It is now impregnable to water. Its
width from North is South is across the whole
avenue. The arch itself does not exceed 50
feel span. The embouchure and debouchure
of the Tiber at this bridge are fortified by good
substantial walls, and the path ways are pro
tected by brick parapets.
Passing this bridge?which, though not equaj
to the bridge of Alcantaia, is equally useful to
Washington?you find the building of the Bal
timore and Washington Railroad Depot on the
right. The ticket office is kept in it and the
cars come up within a few feet of the street,
under an extensive shed built for the purpose.
Great complaints are made against the location
of the Depot at this point, and the question of
procuring its removal to the outskirts of the
city, has been, and continues to be agitated.?
It is now entering into the Council elections.
On the south side of Pennsylvania avenue,
between 2d and 3d streets is the enclosed square
spoken above. A row of elrna hedge the pave
ment on this side.
Proceeding westward from the Depot to 3d
street, there are eleven brick houses from two
to four stories. In them are two groceries, the
two refectories of Rupp and Collins, a segar
store, a coffee house, Adams' & Co.'s Gu-ahend
Express otiice, Dr. Schwann's excellent and
extensive ding store, and a lottery office. The
whole space on this side of the square is built
up'e*cept two lots. Mrs. Brawner's celebrated
boarding house is found about half way ol
the square. At the corner of 3d street and
Pennsylvania avenue stands Jones' building,
facing three streets, the avenue, 3d street, and
North B sireet. It is five stories high with a
fine basement, mortar cast, and is known of yore
as the St. Charles Hotel, though not now oc
cupied. A better house cannot be found in the
city for a Hotel on the plan of the Globe Hotel
in New Yoik. At present the brave and gul
lam Captain Dan Drake Iienrie has his quar
ters in this building beating up recruits for Mex.
ico. The upper parts of the building on this
square are occupied chiefly by the families of
the proprietors of the stores. '
(To be continued.)
CO- Mr. Benton has written a letter to his
friends in Howard County, Mo., who fiomi
nated him last winter lor President, to say to
them, in substance, that they did not know
what they were about when they committed
so silly an act?that the next Democratic pre
sident must come from the North, or the dem
ocratic would be at au end?that Mr. Calhoun
is a traitor to democracy and an enemy to the
country?that Mr. Polk does widely in not
looking to a re-election (hear thai, Mr. Polk!)
?that he was seiving out his last senatorial
term?and that every good democrat must go
for Silas Wright for the next president. All
right and proper Monsieur Benton?but let us
tell you that you may call till doomsday upon
the Democracy to go for Mr. Wright. They
will not come. Nine-tenths of them and all
the Whigs of the country are bound for Mon
terey to bring Old Zach to the United Slates
to make him their president, and not all the
Bentons since the days of Adam can prevent
it. Can they, People of the United Slates ?
Hear you the shout, Monsieur Benton ? That
JVo will hauut you to your tomb.
Mr. Benton, in his last speech at St. Louis,
claims credit for the Senate as a conservative
body because it prevented war with Great
Britain for 54 40, and rejected the treaty ol an
nexation- He forgot, says Prentice, another
good deed ol the Senate, it rejected the Lieut.
General bill.
7 MORE PROOF
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION SKK.KS THE SUBJUQA
TIUN or ENTIRE MEXICO.
Some days ago, we penned a series of articles for
th? purpose of shewing that the administration de
signed to throw I he question of the subjugation of
Entire Mexico into the next Presidential election,
and intended to take the field in favor of that policy.
Our proof, it will be remembered, was drawn from
the Democratic Keview foi May, from the givings
out of sundry daily journals known to he in the con
fidence of the government and from the acts of the
government itself.
The Democratic Keview for the present month
*peaks out mora boldly upon this important aubject,
and sustains us to the full in the position we took in
the articles alluded to.
"That, there is a party," says this organ of the
administration on all great political questions, "and
" a strong and growing one, which is for letaining
" the whole of the conquered territory | and that if
" the war continues, a party may spring up in favor
?' of auBJcoATiNe the whole of Mexico, can hard
" ly be called in question."
Now every man who knows any thing of the tac
tics and tricka of the administration, knowa, that, the
Party in Power is in favor of retaining not only all
the conquered territory hut of aubjugating and occu
pying entire Mexico. That we are justified in com
ing to this conclusion, we quote still further from the
Review. ''But the administration is straining every
"nerve to oppose it (the parly of conquest). There
"is, nevertheless, danger in delay. A moving p?rty
"in a republic is always a growing one, and is sure
"to acquire, in the end, a momentum sufficient to
"overcome the inertia of a government. The ad
ministration seems In feel this." Every intelligent
man will readily understand the drift of the language
here quoted. He will we in it a foregone corcIu
?ion on the part of the administration. It has
plunged the country into a foreign war for political
purpot.es, solely, and it is necessary for it to disavow
every and any consequence leading to the achieve
ment of thoxe purposes?knowing all the while that
they will coine to pass?in order to ward off public
suspicion. It pretends to oppose the party of con
queat, but does all it can, in the same breath, to en
courage the increase of that paity. It preaches be
forehand its readiness to yield to what it may please
to consider the moving party. It professes its will
ingness to have its inertia overcome by this party of
conquest, of which itself is the sole author and fo
mented There is no such strong and growin * par
ty?such as the editor of the Keview speaks of,?out
of and superior to the administration. If the vote
upon the question could be liken tomorrow, the coun
try would declare by an overwhelming majority
against the dismemberment of Mexico, by the United
States, in any and every shape. But the country is
in the hands of a wicked and unscrupulous Execu
tive, and there is no predicting to what a pitch he
may not be able to excite the public mind upon the
Mexican question in the course of the next few
months.
The Review goes on to slate that the Administration
is alarmed at the progresof the party of conquest, of
which it fears it will lie compelled to become the victim
and is anxioua to stem the torrent. But now, good
reader, do you suppose, it ia proposed to effect this
pretended object? By the proposition of lernm of
peace that are an ignoble surrender of all the pre
vious pretensions of the Administration. 1. No c s
sion of ttrritory will be claimed as a forfeit,-but
only by way of purchase to be paid for in actual
money. 2. No expenses of the war will be cluimei,
and thai which Mexico owes our citizens will be paid
by the United Hates. 3. We will be content with
being permitted to buy Upper Californla and New
Mxico, and will not ask the right of way across
Tehuantepec. Can any man be deceived by this
new and sudden movement on the part of the Ad
ministration 7 Surely not. The veil i* too flimsy
j to hide the real purposes of the government. The
most careless observer can see through it. We all
know that Mexico will be even more loth to aign a
treaty of peace upon such easy terms than upon
harder ones. She will argue very justly, that,
if the Uuited States are content with such moderate
terms, after defeating her at every point end occupy
ing, as it were, her capital city, a prolongation of the
war will bring them to yield her all she demanded,even
before the breaking out of hostilities. Her consent ,
therefore, to the new propositions, may be regarded as
entirely out of the question, and may be properly
left out as an element in the discussion of the subj ect
before us. We are of opinion that the Administra
tion regards it in this light. But while a rsfusa'
(considered as certain) by Mexico to accede to the
new terms would place her in the wrong, in a very
great degree, it is evident, that the event would tend
to relieve the Administration, in a large measure,
from the odium and blame attending unsuccesful
negotiations with (he enemy, and enaMe it to throw
itself at the head of the parly of conquest, of which
it ia the creator, and which the stubbornness of Mexi
co will help to form and increase.
| We are therefore prepared to see the Admin
istration suddenly change its tone, the moment it
is ascertained that Mr. Trist'a mission has failed
of its object, and which, in any event, we believe
he will take care, shall fail. We are prepared to
sec it announce'to the country the new issue of the
subjugation of entire Mexico in the van of which
the Administration will place itself. A very brief
time will either verify or falsify our views and
predictions. If il shall turn out that we have mis
taken the objects of the Administration, we shall
promptly confess our error; but if on the contrary,
events shall lake place, as we are fully persuaded
they will take place, and as we have endeavored
to foreshadow in these hasty remarks, we shall
then call upon the country to meet the crisis as
becomes it, and to banish with a voice of thunder,
from power, the party that now seeks to imbue
the minds of the people with the cursed spirit of
conquest. We shall call upon it to leave the Mexi
can question in the hands of the law-making power,
whence the President originally dragged it for the
worst of political purposes?cither to make him
self President another term, or some one else of
his party. 1
And o the people really begin to lalk very
determinedly about making old Rough and
Ready Chief Magistrate of the nation ? Well,
says a letler writer from Buena Vista, in Great
Britain brave soldiers are made Peers of the
Realm for infioitely more insignificant victories
than he has achieved; but as we only have piers
to support our bridges and wharves, we can't
make him a peer, but in lieu thereof will give
him 'the best we've got in the shop,'and make
him President of the Upited States.
Col. Hay's Texas Regiment left San Anto

W hen old Zach bade the Mississippi Regi

feeling3. ?
At a recent bout in Tennessee between the
two candidates for Governor, A. V. Brown,

'Why Mr. Polk never made any body in his
life!' The hit was palpable and drew furih
roars of applause.

The Mexican women, says Capt. Hughes,
are rather under what we -regard the medium

and while few are beautiful, many of them
while young are good looking and agreeable.
Their hands and leet are small, with well turn

good mouths, magnificent black eyes, and glos.

good wives and mothers.

It lias been decided by Vice Chancellor Sau
ford, of New York, that where a store has
been rented for the regular business of a dry
good.* jobber, it cannot be used to sell dry goods
by auction. He said 'a jobber is defined to be
a merchant who buys goods of the importer
and sells to the retailer?an auctioneer does
not purchase at all, but sells for others; the
two kinds of business are widely apart.' He,
therefore granted an injunction on the applica
tion of the owner of the store, restraining the
renter ol it from using it lor selling dry goods
by auction.
The Milwaukie Gazette in noticing the attacks
that have been made on General Taylor, says : "As
to Taylor's -Generalship,' we take it that the man
who has u,on every battle he ever fought, agai?<t
cmlizodOr savage foes, in the war of 1812, in the
Florida campaigns, and now in Mexico, and who
has crowned a long list of triumphs by the hardest
fight and most brilliant victory known in American
history, has earned a 'certificate of character' which is
proof against any and every attempt at criticism,
censure, or defamation."
The accomplished Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal of Commerce think, that
there is no prospect of peace with Mexico.
Cj Mr. Polk told the Petersburgians that he was

Whig doctrine,
" For just experience tells, in every soil,
That those that think must govern those that toil."
We must enter our solemn dissent to any

An arrival at St. Louis from the upper Mis
