FAMINE?THE RESULT OF MJUS'S
ACTS.
The grjind law of humau existence is the
law of human labor. Every ihing great and
good, in and out of man, both physical and
spiritual, grows oufof its strict observance, lis
neglect or violation is productive of every
thing that is evil in man or in his social rela
tions.
In every society, where the law of labor is
? observed, we never hear of famine. Plenty
crowns the efforts ol a tailoring society. In
proportion to the neglect of this grand law in
any society, there is (amine,?that is, the exces.s
of consumption over production. That fam
ine is not a law of nature is evident from one
single fact, and that i#, the immense increase
in the production ol all the cereals or bread
substances. One grain of wheat produces
sixty of its own kind. One grain of Indian
corn produces on an average two thousand ol
its own species. This law is a sequence of
the law of human labor. One man, on an
acre of ground, with twenty days labor in a
year, can produce Indian corn enough to sus
tain five ol his fellow men for the same time,
in profusion. Famine, then, may be always
set down as the act of man, and not of God.
It is true, when we find ourselves stinted in the
supply of food, it is the habit of man to lay
the fault at the door of the Creator, but we for
get, while we are guilty of this act of impiety,
that God is a God of cause and effect, a God
Whose government is a government of cause
and effect, and that human evil arises out of
the violation by man of the grand law of cause
and effect. Man is placed on the earth and the
earth is made to yield by the labor of one man's
hands a few short hours in a year, bread enough
for five of his fellow men. Can it be said,
then, with any show of truth or reason, thai
when man neglects to cultivate the earth those
few hours, it is God who is the cause of the
consequent famine? Surely not.
These brief considerations the truth of which
the reader will readily acknowledge, will fur
nish a key to the present famine in Ireland,
England, Scotland, the Continent of Eurppe,
and the United States, for it exists in all these
?ectiona of the earth, and only differs in degree.
In Q. Britain the unnatural state of society i?g
gra vales the famine. Not only is the law of human
labor violated in that kingdom, but the fruits ol
what human laborthereis,arediverted from theii
natural channels into ihe barns of the rich, who
prey upon the necessities of the poor, and en
courage idleness in order to keep up the pricf
of food. It was recently shown in the House
of lords, that if the breadsiuffs and other pro*
ducts of the earth, could be released from the
grasp of the enormous wealth of England, which
always seeks to increase itself by devouring
the labor of the poor, plenty would be in every
Englishman's mouth for the next fourteen
months. Lvery testimony goes to prove that
the famine in Ireland is an artificial famine is
a consequence of the act ol man. We have
traced it to its original cause?a violation ol
the law of human labor. Hundreds of thou
sands of people in the European and American
world have, within the last few years, deserted
the labor of the fields and their all sufficient
sustenance, to seek for means of livelihood in
other branches of human industry, and in ihi<
way, the basis of social prosperity has been
narrowed, and the steadiness of the structure
has been endangered. In many regions it has
toppled over, bringing ruin upon all classes.?
But while the mechanic arts and trades have
attracted to them from agricultur; too great a
number of persons, hundreds of thousands ol
individuals have escaped from all kinds of labor
and increased the uon-producing class beyond
ail proportion. In the United States this es
cape has been voluntary, and the country feels
it in the lessened production of the fruits of the
earth, and consequent high prices and suffer
ing of the poor. In Europe the increase in
the non-producing classes is the result chiefly
of the system of society, which, itself, is in
Utter violation of the law of human labor, and
consequently of human rights.
At home, we shall soon be able to turn the
tide of production, owing to the fredom of our
institutions. In Europe, consumption is des
tined for a long period to outrun production,
in consequence of its unnatural institutions.
We have set her an example of a free govern
ment, which sooner or later, she must copy.
Until that period shall arrive and release labor
from its present iron yok*, the United States
mu*t grow food enough lor themselves and for
the starving millions of the Eastern world too.
But we can never do it, unless we religiously
keep the grand taw of human labor. Its ob
servance will be our only source of happiness
and prosperity, lor the future, as it has been,
for the past. Our greate;t gbry Will be, as it
has been, to obey the laws of God, and in no
particular, can we be so much of a God-serving
nation, as in keeping the law of hutuaa labor.

REINDEER EXPRESS
Last evening after our paper was issued, our
Reindeer Express arrived wiih our N.Oileaus
correspondence of ihe 15th inst.
New Orleaua, June 1, 1847.
| Dear IVhig: We have advices from Sahillo
I 10 the 14th ultimo. Everything wore the ap
pearance that old Rough and Ready would
move on Sao Luis on the 1st of June. A ter
rible struggle was anticipated at that city.
A rumor has reached town that a duel was
fought at China on the 21st ultimo, between
two Lieutenants of the Virginia Regiment. It
is said they fought with muskets and that both
fell.
Satisfactory intelligence has been received,
that Col. Doniphan did return to Chihuahua,
and was on his way to Sahillo, having reach
ed Parras.
Sahillo has not suffered in the least from the
occupation of it by our troops.
The news from Mexico this morniug assures
us of the election of a Mr. Herrera to die Pres
idency, but it is not believed to be the Ex-Pres
ident of that name.
Santa Ana had gone to the capital to enter
on the Presidency for the time being. He had
issued a manifesto to the nation, but no copy
had been received in town.
The people of Mexico city continued to be
in a state of apathy, and.would not let him out
to fortify it.
Our squadron in the Pacific at last dates was
preparing to capture San Bias and Mazailan.
Com. Perry has put in force, at Laguna, the
new tariff. He took Guasacualco, and a town
iwenty miles up the river, and left garrisons to
hold them. He intends to try Tobasco again,
and to take it and keep it this time.
1 he commodore has captured a copy with
the field notes ot the English survey of the
Tehuantepec canal.
The vomito season is nearly over in Vera
Cruz, and owing to the efforts of the Ameri
cans to keep the town clean, it has not made
its appearance. Yours, &.c.,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE JYiiTIOJYjiL
WHIG.
However much we majr, as a people, condemn
the war into which our country baa been pluuged
by the wickedness of an administration impotent in
all things save the power to get the nation into
trouble, still no one can look back oi. iu progress
without feeling a glow of pride as he contemplates
the singular skill and u nconquerable determination
of our gallant officers and the bravery and heroism
or our unequalled troopa. It is, i? fdCt, the brilliant
successes whLh this skill and this valor has secured
to our arms that has made thia Mexican war even
ioUrabU in the eyea of the people. Had defeat, in
stead of victory, crowned our operations in the
fie.ds of Mexico?to what a depth of infamy
would this Administration have been already sunk !
I hua it is that the people, while they cheer and ap
plaud our victorious little army, are visiting upon
the Executive their greatest frowns?their severest
condemnation.
In v.ew of the recent manifestations of popular
disapprobation, any other parly than the one at pre
sent most unfortunately in power, would, with sin
cere and deep-felt repentance, acknowledge its trans
gressions, turn from the error of its waya, and sup
plicate the pardon and forgiveness of a people whose
treasure it has squandered, whoae best blood it has
shed, whose Constitution it has repeatedly and wan.
tonly violated, and whose honor .t has tarnished ?
But it appears insensible to all the emotions of ho.
nor and of moral or political virtue, and dares, with
all the effrontery of a brazen felon, to look the na
tion in the face, as if unconscious of wrong. Its
history is before the people, and more unfortunately
before the world. The first have spoken, in many
States, in tones which have carried dismay into the
furthest recesses of the White House, they have
spoken in tones of the most overwhelming and une
quivocal condemnation ; and if the past be any cri
terion by which to judge of the future, the coming
elections will scarce leave the Admimtrtra'ion a cor
poral's guard in the next House of Representatives.
Have we any reason to hope that the judgment of
the world will be more favorable than that of our
own people?
If this Administration be as wise, as pure, and as
patriotic as its organs assert it to be, how is it thai
the people are abandoning it by whole States at a
time, and going over to those who are daily charged
to Ixr steeped to the lips in 'moral treason' by con
demning this war; to the Federal party, with all its
ancient infamy clustering thick about it? Are the
people turning traitors federalists, loo ? How
is it, let me ask the editor of the Union, the collared
minion of the Administration here, that Virginia,
the old flag ship of Democracy?has returned to the
next Congress six moral traitors, where ?he had
only one in the last; elected a majority of moral
traitors to her lower House of Delegates?and came
very near electing a majority of moral traitors to
represent her in Washington ? How is this? Will
the official satraps of Mr. Polk, himself almost fresh
from the council-rooms of D. mocracy in the Old
Dominion, dare to charge her with 'moral treason?y
For shame, old man ! fiend thee low before the
libelled people of thy native State, and with peni
tential tears seek forgiveness from their generous
natures; beseech their charity on thy wanton slan
ders and betake thyself to that political solitude frotn
which it had been bet;er had you nover emerged.

THE BOOK OF KINGS.
CHAPTER XVltl.
1. Now Zachary Taylor, the King's Captain
of the Host encamped against Matamoras,
which is on the other side of the Great River,
and he threw up defences mighty and strong.
2. And Arista the Chief man of the Mexi
cans, grew wroth that Zachary Taylor should
do this thing, and Ke gathered all his host to.
gether, and there were thousaudsof horses and
men at arms, even as the sands of the sea.
3. And Arista, the New Leonite sent mes
sengers to Zachary Taylor the Virginia# and
said unto him, thus saith Arista the New
Leonite.
j 4. Thy silver and thy gold are mine; thy
men and thy horses and thy big guns, and
thy little guns, even thyself, are mine.
5. And Zachary Taylor answered and said,
General, O Arista, according to thy saying, I
am thine and all that I hare, but thou wi!t
surely come and take me and mine.
6. And the messengers came again and
said, thus speaketh Arista the New Leonite,
saying, although I have sent unto thee, saying,
thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold,
and thine arms, and thy men,
7. et I will send my servants unto thee to
morrow, about this time, and they shall search
by camp, and even pass it about; and it shall
be, they shall take thee and thine and take them
all even unto Mexico, the chief city of Paredes,
my lord the King, even as he hath command
ed, God and Liberty! *
8. Then Zachary Taylor rose up from his
seat and spake with a voice of thunder, and
sanh unto the Messengers, tell the General,
All that thou has sent word thou wilt do, come
and do. And the Messengers departed and
brought Arista word again.
9. And Arista the New Leonite sent unto
Zachary Taylor and said, do so unto me, and
more also, if the dust of Tamaulipas and
j Texas shall suffice for handfuls for all the peo
ple that follow me.
10. Ad Zachary Taylor answered and said,
tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his har
ness, boast himself as he that putteth it off.
11. And it came to pass, when Arista heard
this message, as he was drinking, he and the
chiefs in the pavilions of Matamoras, that he
satd unto his servants, Set yourselves in array.
And they set themselves in array against
Zachary Taylor the Captain of the host of
Poik the King.
( To be Continued.)
PUBLIC MEETING.
An adjourned meeting of the voters of the
Fifth Ward was held in the Engine House on
Saturday evening last, Hesekiah Gray, Esq.,
in the chair.
The meeting being called to order, the follow
ing resolution was offered and submitted for
consideration :
Retolved, That this meeting proceed to the
election of a committee of four, to inquire into
t^e expediency of selecting a proper site for
the Rail Road Depot; and to report thereon,
and also to instruct their representatives in ihe
Board of Aldermen and Common Council, in
relation thereto.
Wheieupou, Thomas Mackey Esq., rose
and addressed the chair as follows :
Mr. President: It was not my intention to
have addressed this meeting; nor would I have
done so, had it not been that my sentiments in
relation to some of the prominent questions of
the Ward have been misrepresented. I do uot
mean willingly misrepresented, sir, but through
misunderstanding. And it is chiefly to clear
up erroneous impressions that I feel myself
constrained to make an explanation in my own
defence. From all I have written and spoken
heretofore, said in private, and in public, it
would really seem there could be no doubt of
my opinions in the miod of arty intelligent
man in the community. And so lar as (I have
been represented by some) to favor oilier por
lions of the city to the disparagement of our
own interests, I can, without scuple, affirm,
with the most solemn appeal to God for the
truth of my sincerity, that I have, on every
proper occasion, to the very utmost of my
abilities, endeavored to advance our own "pe
culiar concerns," in preference to all others.
This has been my uniform practice; and 1
challenge fair and impartial investigation.
Again?I have been accused as having given
my sanction to the proposed plan of removing
the Rail Road Depot without the limits of the
Fifth Ward. This I most emphatically deny.
On the contrary, I have invariably contended,
and do now maintain, that the proper site for
the Depot should be near the Catholic grave
yard. This idea, sir, has betn my hobby for
a number of years past; and it is notorious to
some who are now present, that for my zeal
in behalf of this measure, I was stigmatized as
"The grave-yard man."
A policy, sir, antagonistic to this, would in
my humble opinion, be suicidal to our dearest
interests. It would be withdrawing fac/iliiies,
that would necessarily, in course of time, be
of considerable advautage to us individually ;
to say nothing of the innumerable benefits that
would accrue, to other portions of our beloved
city. The opening of one or more of onr most
beautiful streets, the erection of edifices, the
employment of laborers and mechanics, would
of themselves, be a sufficient inducement to
enlist the attention of all good citizens to inter
est themselves in this great and laudable under
taking.
Mr. President: I have devoted much time
and study to this important subject. When
in the board of Aldermen, it was first agitated,
I took, as you well know, a conspicuous part
in bringing itfarly before the public. My views
as then expressed have undergone no change.
I am now, exactly where 1 was then. I hope,
sir, with this brief explanation, ( will be belter
appreciated hereafter.
The resolution was then passed ; and the fol
lowing gentlemen, appointed a committee:
Messrs. Miller, Lee, Baker and Sims.
It was further
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the National Whig and
Saturday Evening News.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
GEORGE BELL,
Secretary.

A member of Captain F. H. Archer's company of
Virginia Volunteers, in a letter written at Walnut
Springs, to his family in Petersburgh, says:?Gen.
Taylor paid a visit to our officers yesterday morning.
He looks like an o!d Virginia farmer, and says we
are a very good looking set of boys, tut have got
here too late to ree any fun. He thinks there will
not be much more hard fighting, but if there should
be, will give ua a chance.

the Mount Holly Mirror, it advocates thpclaims
of General Taylor to the Presidency, and bat;

before predicted, and Mr. Grund writes "by
