K? Tb? New Orleans National does not like the
National Whig. The National Whig is glad it can
not reciprocate the compliment.
Mr. Polk, a little more than a year ago says
Prentice, was furious because Mexico would
not receive an ambassador from the United
States. She was willing to receive a com mis,
sioner, but he swore that she must take an
ambassadorr or nothing. Since then however

The President of the United States having

General Kearny's Proclamation.
Pray, where did the President get the power
from, to appoint a civil governor of California ?
The office never was created by law. Possibly
it was created by. the Laws of Nations, but we
should like to have the reference to the autho
rity.
a It is the desire and intention of the United
Stales to procure for California, as speedily as
possible, a free government like that of their
own territories, and they will very soon invite
faeinbabitants to exercise the rights of free
*mwas in the choice of their own representa
u,re,??Gen Kearny's Proclamation.
We have no recollection of any such "de
sire and intention" having been manifested by
any declaration -of Congress, to which body
constitutionally belongs the power -over the
sutyect. But, we forgot-the President is the
United States!
?iiTk? .u?d*rsiSned? by these presents, absolves
?II the inhabitants of California of any further
allegiance to the Republic of Mexico, and re
gards them as citizens of the United States.
General Kearny's Proclamation.
The President has assumed to be the Gov
ernment of the United States, and to do and
perform all acts of supremacy. If this assump
tion be allowed, we see no reason why he may
not delegate his power, and why Gen. Kearny
may not be the President, in that far off coun

Alluding to our disbelief in the authenticity
of the Signal Taylor letter, the New Orleans
Bee of the 5th instant says:
"The Whig bases its opinion upon the total
otscrepanry between the style of that letter and

the General. We published the letter without
? thought of its being possibly a base coinsge;

Taylor's pen ; so that our position in one re

the Battalion under the command of Lt. Col.
Hughes, is to be increased to a Regiment with
a field battery, and is to open and keep open
the road from Vera Cruz to Jalapa, and to oc*
copy the latter town. The Union further
announces that the President has taken from
the beginning " a deep and almost paternal
interest" in this battalion. Pray, was it very
fatherly in him to let Charles Lee Jones, raise
the major part of the battalion under the per
suasion that hs was to be its Colonel and them

ANNEXATION IN AFRICA.
The progress and prosperity of our African
colony at Cape Palm as, says the Baltimore
American, are indicated not only by its growth,
iocreaaiog business and successful industry,
but by ether circumstances also, of which the
subjoined Proclamation denotes one worthy of
special observation?
PaOCLAMATIOM.
Whereas, the native Kings George of Bassa,
George Mscauley of Grand Taboa, Grab of Tabou
River, the true and lawful Kings of the Tabou coun
try and headmen. Whereas, King Nimlee and
Governor Yellow Witt of Basse, the true and lawful
King and Governor of the Baasa country and head
men. Whereas, Kings Darho and Tom of Grand
Denriby, the true and lawful Kings of the Grand
Derriby country and headmen. Whereas, King
George of Tsbou, the true and lawful King of the
Tahou country and headmen, have by formal deeda
of cession, to the Maryland State Colonization So
ciety, executed at Batsa, on the S3d and 24th days
of February, A. D., 1846, annexed themselves, sub
jfcts and territories to this Commonwealth, and be
come a part thereof:?it is hereby enjoined on all
the citizens of this Colony, to honor the said Kings
and headmen of the aforesaid countries, with all due
respect, as the true and lawful rulers thereof?to re
ceive the subjects of said Kings, as citizens of our
common o <untry, and not as strangers; and. further,
it is enjoined on all magistrates and civil officers, to
have justice fairly meted out to them in alt palavers;
and that they have free passage through our common
country, without hindrauce.
Given under hand and seal at Government House,
? Harper, Cape Palmas, this third day of March, A.
D. one thoussnd eight hundred and forty-six.
John B. Rubswdex, Governor.
The event which this proclamation auuoun
ces, affords a gratifying proof of the wholesome
influence which the colonists have acquired
over the native tribes in their neighborhood.
That th? kings and headmen of the surround
ing country should voluntarily place them
selves and their people under the jurisdiction
of the colony, shows that they appreciate
deeply the advantages of civilization, and of
impartial laws enforced with firmness and
constancy.
It is quite time that the free colored people
here in Maryland had taken this matter ol
colonization to themselves, seriously and prac
tically. There is no want of the means of
informatiou on the subject; there is no room
for any fears of deception. The Cape Palmas
packet, which *plies from this port to the colo
ny, fVirnishes every facility for those who wish
it, to go to Africa and see for themselves.
Resident colonists are in the habit of coming
over to visit their friends and relatives here; j
and, in fact, so easy are the means of com
munication, and so frequent the intercourse
between Baltimore and the colony, that no
free colored man in the city who wishes to
possess accurate knowledge respecting the
colony, can have any reasonable excuse for
being in ignorance or doubt as to the actual
facts of the case.
We observe that in Kentucky recently the
free colored people of a district, embracing
various counties, have appointed a committee
to visit the Liberia colonies and to make 4 re
port on th#r return. This is a wise and judi
cious movement. The free colored people
must inquire into this subject. The more they
inquire the better; for they will learn, as they
become acquainted with the facts of coloniza
tion, that it is an enterprise intended for their
good, and admirably adapted to promote it;?
that it has succeeded happily thus far, and that,
in short, if they desire to rise to the full stature
of men, and to enjoy in reality the blessings of
freedom and civilization, they must look to
Africa as their permanent and appropriate
home.
We learn that the omission by the recent
Democratic Gubernatoral Convention oi Geor
gia, to nominate General Taylor for the Presi
dency, has created great satisfaction in the par
ty. Howell Cobb who voted last Congress to
censure the "Old Man" was present in the
Convention, and on bis persuasion the Con-1
vention gave General Taylor the "go-by."?
Cobb told them that Levi Woodbury was to be
Mr. Polk's successor. Not so fast, Mr. Cobb.
Mr. Polk has a word to say to that. He has
already said that he can control any nomination
he pleases, (see Baltimore Clipper of 16th in
siant) and ice fcnote, that the President has de
termined to control it in favor of himself, if ex
pedient, when the time comes.
j " If Gen. Taylor wishes to be President, he
had best say which party he belongs to, with
out any further nonsensical gabble about being
the candidate of no party."?Boston Courier.
Gen. Taylor is a Whig, and will be elected
as a Whig, arid never has uttered any such
nonsensical gabble as you speak of.
The federalist* stand ready to sacrifice Old
Rough and Ready ? Wathington Union.
Honest confession! From the President
down to Mr. Ritchie,?every one of the federal
party in power has been at this game and stand
ready to persevere in it.
Oc?*The Washington Union says, that the pow
er of Congress over the improvements of the
Harbors and Rivers, is "at best, only an implied
and doubtful power, and must be raised by
construction." Does the Union include the
Tehuantepec Canal in this category?
09*A little Locofoco paper in Indiana, says
Prentice, thinks that Mr. Polk will give his con
sent next year to an appropriation for improv
i ing the navigation of the Ohio. Perhaps he
wilL He himself will be coming down the
Ohio in about a year and a half on his way to
Tennessee, and no doubt he will like to have
the river put in good order for his trip.
We know of no man whom the Whigs of
the Union would prefer to Gen. Taylor. Who
is there to whom we could more confidently
entrust our standard?Richmond Republican.

Soon after the battle of Monterey, and dur
ing the excessively hot weather, from which
officers and men suffered severely, some gen
tlemen sent General Taylor for his private use,
a barrel ot ice, and a quantity of delicious claret.
The precious burthen was deposited at the
General's tent, with a note from the donor, af
ter politely acknowledging which, the old heio
caused the head of the barrel to be knocked
out, and, taking for his own use a lump as
large as his fist, sent the whole of the remain -'
der, and the claret, to the hospital of the sick
soldiers.
It the U. 8. Lo*n of Eighteen Millions does
not fall in the market from iu present piice, Corco
ran and Rigga will i^ke only $1,260,000 by .he

all this premium.

The election of Mr. Powers, the Whig Superin
tendent of of the Pennsylvania canals last year, has
led to the astounding discovery of the fact, that dur
in the long period of the Democratic Administration
of those public works, the State was robbed by iu
Democratic agents of over a quarter at a million of
money.
"It ia better for Mexico That the conquest should
be consummated, that her cities should be laid in
ashes, than to enter into terma which would evident
ly reduce the Mexican nation to a condition worse
than it held as a colony of Spain." [El National of
Puebla.
Such is the language of a Mexican right under
Gen. Scott's nose in answer to a communication by
an American advising peace. That does sot look
like peace, does it!
The stars and stripes now float over California,
and as long as the sun shall abed its light they will
continue to Wave over her, and over the natives of
the country, and over those who shall seek a domicil

There?California is annexed. There's an end
to that vexed question. How thankful the American
people ought to be!
On the 9th inatanta rousing meeting of all parties
waa held in Detroit to name Gen. Taylor for the Pre
sidency. His flag went up amid shouts that have not
yet done reverberating along the shores of St. Clair.
Mr. Nonrell, the Democratic U. S. Attorney, not
having the fear of Mr. Polk before his eyes, declared
for the 'Old Man.' Mr. Bates, his Whig predeces
sor also declared for him. We doubt whether Mr.
Polk has the power he thinks he has to rule the old
Hero off the Presidential track, or even to get up a
Democratic nag to run against old Zach.
General Taylor is not a Whig?Mobile Tribune
Indcp. Dem.
Ho is a Whig, a Henry Clay Whig, as you and
all other Independent Democratic presses who have
been endeavoring to misrepresent the old Hero will
'earn in due time to your discomfiture.
Although the "National Whig" has enjoyed but a
brief period of existence, says that excellent journal
the Butler, Pa. Whig, it has, nevertheless, already
attained a circulation and influence greater than that
of many of its venerable compeers, giving promise
that at no very distant day it will stand in the very
front rank of the distinguished journals of America
?if, indeed, it may not now be considered as having
gained that enViable positioa.

A. FAVIER,
Manufacturer of all kinds of Mineral Waters,
Washington, June 19,1847.
Sir : In conjunction with several other members
of the Medical profession I gave you, some years
since, a certificate of the good quality of your
Mineral Water. With'a commendable jealousy of
your own works, lest oon^denoe in their abiding
good reputation should have led to neglect, you have
again applied to me for an analysis of several speci
mens of Mineral Water, purporting to have been
made after different methods or by different persons,
the particulars of which were not furnished, the only
distinction apparent being in the color of the bottles.
I have examined the several specimens submitted,
and find as follows: The water in the white gfa?s
bottles is free from all impurities; that in the green
bottles contains a sensible quantity of sulphuric acid,
which is evident to the staisU and taste, as well ae to
the proper cheaucal tests. From a'recent inspec
tion of your process, I was led to the conviction that
the only imparities which could possibly gain access
to the water were lead and sulphuric acid. Of lead
1 find no traces whatever in any of the bottles; the
amount of sulphuric acid present in the green bottles,
though small, is objectionable, and most be regarded
ss an impurity, as the Mineral Water professes to be
free from all such admixtures. I therefore certify
thet the Mineral Water contained in the white bot
tles sent to me was pure, and in my opinion saluta
ry, while that in the green bottles was impure and
unfit for a common bore rage.
CHARLES O. PAGE,
Professor of Chemistry, National Medical College.
Mr. A. Favixr.
Washinotojt, June 24, 1847.
Sir : Upon testing the water left with me by you,
which was in the same kind of bottles mentioned by
Dr. Pag'', I have only confirmed the result of the
analysis made by that gentleman.
THOMAS P. JONES,
Mr. A. Favikr. Prof, of Chemistry.
Wasihhoton, June 19, 1847.
This is to ccrtify that the water analyzed by Dr.
Page, from the white bottles, wss made by Mr. Fa
vier's apparatus, at his establishment, and that in
the green bottles came from another establishment,
where it was manufactured.
