As Mr., Polk claims.. tb^tv h* is tlfafGovern
ment of the .United Stales dtfueto and drjure, it
is no' nu?re than just and propel1, that he should
assume and exercise all ihe powers of Govern
metjl! Accordingly, .we see him daily and1
hourly in the assumption and exercise-of those
powers. We see Mr. Polk bringing on a w|r with
a neighboring nation ex uievo motv, in the very
presence of the Legislative power 6f the
Union, to which the Constitution has entiu^ted
the sole right to make war,. We see him mak
ing a tariff law for levying duties upon Ame
rican ,?od foreign meiclutndize, introduced in
to the captured ports ol the United States, in
the very teeth and face of the Constitution,
which declares that lo Congress alone belongs
the pdwer to lay taxes, anil make rules for the
captured ports. We see him ordering the dis
bursement of the revenue obtained by virtue of
the Presidential statute ihus enacted, without
' authority of Congressional law, when the Con
| stitution expressly declares that no money
shall be drawn out of the Treasury unless a
! law of Congress authorizes its withdrawal.?
We see him admitting into the Union the ter
ritories of New Mexico and the Californias
without any authority given lo him by Con
gress to do so and in utier contempt of the
Constitutional provision upon this head.
We see him refusing to inform thle Le
gislative power of the Union what ulterior de
signs he has in prosecuting the'war, and bow
he intends to reduce the enemy, in utte^ disre
gard of his constitutional relations to that body
and in violation of his. prescribed dtnyj . We
see him, because it was his pleasure to do 90,
vetoing a bill authorizing the payment |o our
own citipeps of ajpaGreddflbt, which th^ Gov
ernment, near fifty, years ago, assumed tb pay,
and thai debt-arising out of spoliations of Ame
rican commerce, the power of the Government
to assume which is not denied by the Consti
tution. . ** i ?.? J t
- We see him refusing to ejgn bills for im
proving the harbors and rivers of the United
States, whose improvement his administration
expressly ajkef! Congress to make, and when
those bills weie extct. transcripts of the Exe
cutive reports and estimates. We see him or
dering ^e-interpretation of the Post Office
Laws so as to oppress the citizen with vexa
tious and expensive regulations anchto prevent
the dissemination of intelligence by interfering
between the publishers'of newspapers and pur
chaser of the same, and declaring that the
latter shall not receive their property by the
payment of the legal raiesof postage unless
they are .subscribers for three months. We see
him causing every obstacle to be placed in the
way of the circulation of newspapers, by wrest
! ing these.Post Office Laws,from their obvious
meaning, so as to arrest as much asr possible
the diffusion of c6rrect information respecting
the unconstitutional and illegaj qcts find deeds
! of the President and his administration of pub'
| lie affairs. ' ' " ; ,'
VVe see him claiming the righito do these and
the thousand other-unconstitutional and illegal
acts, which have so far characterized his ?d
minie'tratroa, By virtue,oi ihe power wjhfch the
?Laws of Nations give to the Executive of a
whole nation as the governmental repre.jenta
| five of that nation, -notwithstanding that his of
I fice is not the Government of the United States,
[ is an office created' by. the Cohstitutiop and
I defined and limited by that instrument and by
the laws.
From these brief reflections it. will Readily
be conceded that Mr. .Polk is not a man who
Uys claim to a barren sceptre. L'etatf?C'est
1 mni!?is no idle, holiday phrase wijh him. Ke
means what he says, when he ? says?"The
State ??J. am the State !"
The New Orleanr Bulletin ha. the following from
1 a correspondent ' Gen.' Ta> lor aat down on the
night of thi 21st February, just seven hours before
he was attacked by Santa Ana, and wrote to his rel
ative and friend, describing hid situation, and speak
ing plainly, but with dignity, of the treatment he
had received from t)is superior* ; also of hia ariange
ment to meet the approaching crisis; of his confi
dence in h? little army; of his hopes, but net of hia
fears. One sheet and the page of an >ther, as a re
cord, were thus devoted.; The remaining pages were
given to his private affairs, directing the manage
ment of his estate, and expressing affection for his
family. The writer of this communication has been
honored with a perusal of that letter. * He marked
the bold character in which it was written ; the even
lines, and the unblotted pages, giving evidence that
it was written as calmly as if the writer had been
I seated by the fireside of his own happy home. It
waa written in simple but easy style, without eff>rt,
as one wishes to write to relative* and friends, But
??ill it bore evidence, aa all his writings do, of fe clear
judgment and pure thought."
Latsst from Mexico.?-Our correspondents,
says the New Orleana Delta of the 8th inst., whose
letters are to the 23d ult. from Jalapa, all represent
Santa Ana aa being engaged in fortifying Rio Frio
with a large force. Gen. Scott ia pushing ?n to meet
him with great haste. G. n. Twiggs, who brings up
the rear of Scott's column, left on the 23d May for
Puebla, where Gen. Worth is now encamped. The
General-in-Chief, with his escort, left Jalapa on the
same day. Ere this the battle has occurred, and
the only obstacle to the entry of our army into the
capital will be removed. ,
(Ej*Gen. Pillow ia out, at the foot of two closely
printed oolumna of defence, in the New Orleans
Delta. He wields a pen with as tittle skill as his
sword. He rqikes'i; complete muss of the whole
affair and .leaves the charge against- hi to- untouched
and unanswered.

field, III. He doea not look for peace with Mexico.

Benton, 10 hit Jefferson city speech*
says, *ye are without a king-puin to keep com
merce,, currency, and industry -alive. This is
news indeed, for all this while the party press
and party orators have been proclaiming, that,
without our fcingman, Mr. Polk, the trade,
money, and industry of the (Junion would go
to utter ruin.; . j
OO-Mr. Bentod, in his Jefferson city speech,
does not confine himself to the truth. For in
| stance, he says that the loan of the 10th, of last
April ^ips befn paid all in gold. This is noto
riously untrue, and Corcoran & Riggs wilMell
you so. Again, Mr.-B. says thai the govern,-,
ment pays every body^ in gold. This is also
untrue, as thousands of witnesses at New Or
leans can testify to thei/ loss.
OCj-Mr. Benton, in his Jefferson city speech,
calls the Tyler ihterregnum a tempest in a
teapot. If it was, it made Mr. B. blow off
more steam than he did all his life befyre, for
he was in hot water nil the time. ?
GO-Mr. Benton, in his Jefferson city Speech,'
says that it was not for the emoluments of the
office that he sought the Lieutenant General
ship. We might believe this, if there had been
no peace money of three millions to handle.
OO-Mr. Benton, in his Jefferson city speech,
says, that no government contract, during hi<i
Senatorial career, ever went to any ODe of his
blood. He was not so particular, however, as
to his friends. Col. Brant no doubt can testify to
the value of a government contract, and to the
value of having such a friend, as Mr. Benton,
at Court.
03- Santa Ana was elected President on the
15th May, but declined the hondr?says the
New Orleans Delta ot the 8th instant. General
Herrera is the next prominent candidate?the
election will'take place on the 15th inst. (June)
?Gen. Bravo, the Commander-in-Chief of the
forces in the interior, has resigned?Congress,
or the seat of government, has been removed
to a small place south of the city of Mexico?
they are fortifying a hill a few miles this side
of Mexico. ' * ?
(0? From Capt. L?uman, of the Pennsylva
nia volunteers, says the New Orleans Picayune
of the 8th inst., who has kindly communicated
to us various information, we learn that the
work of fortifying Rio Frio was going on
-rapidly. The English courier, who arrived at
Vera-Cruz the night before the New Orleans
left, said positively there were 20,000 Mexicans
engaged in the work. Other,accounts reduce
the number to 12,000.-'

An officer gives the following acc ent of "Zach's"
doings when-he.received, at the supper table, Gen.
Scott's letter tolling him that be was going to lose
bis regulars. Gen. Taylor, after reading the epistle,
crumpled the sheet on which it was written very
much in his hands, laid it aside and then commen
ced, in a furious manner, putting muMard over his
meat, potatoes, and bread, into his coffee and divers
other things, all around his plate!

' And, almost immediately afterwards,says Prentice,
he addressed to the Secretary of War the much

dignity, "I shall put my nose in my pocket."

beard is thin and in spots, no inarka that I recollect.
He Is orderly arid speaks slow and low. His cloth
ing is drab or gray ; but I understand he took all
his clothes with him, ao that he may be dressod
I otherwise. He may be abdut 25 or 30 years of age.
II bought him out of the estate of Mr. John A. Tur
ton, between Nottingham and Piacataway. He may
be about that place, or skulking about Dr. Edward
Everafeld's, near Piacataway, where he is said to
have a wife, or he may be trying to make hia way to
some free State.
I can truly say, he went away on Sunday even
ing, the 30th May, without any just cause, for I do
not recollect of ever speaking harah to him. He left
his wife and children at home.
