04 Retvriois wirn Mexico.—An
angry correipondence hes tuken place
between the M tj;'i'c:m Sr(-:l'emry of State
Rejon, and our M i.uis.tlvrv, My. Shanuon ;
who has in very Lll;t‘idt‘d terms announ
ced to the Mgxican government, that
courteous language must be used to
wards him and his government, The}
Secretary charges the Government of
the United States with falselvod, arti
fice, intrigue and projects of usurpation;
and more than insinuates that Gen.
Jackson originally sent Gen. Houston
_ o capture Texag, with ultimato views
of Annexation. Mr. Shannon asks the
Secretary of State to withdraw his letter,
which the Secretary refuses to do, and
rciterates all the foul abuse of ihe
American government contained in his
first communication. In this position
affairs stood, when Gen. Duff Green
leftin the ““Woodbury,” with dispatches
for New Orleans.
““As to the rumored suspension of
diplomatic relations between the (}uv-i
crnments, by the act of Mr. Shannon,
we find (saysthe N. Y. Express,) noth
ing corroboratory, in the papers before
us. The Woodbury, which left Vera
Cruz oan the 17th, and which may at
any moment arrive, will bring the offi
cial despatches, and then we shall learn
more.”
The President elect, it is said, has re
cently made a speech at Nashville, in
which he admonishes hic political friends
not to exult over their opponents, and
says that the opinions, judsments, and
rights of all, whether of minorities or ma
jorities, are entitled to equal respect and
regard, While it will bo his pleasure to
represent faithfully the principles and
policy of his party, he declares that he
shall not regard himself as the represent
ative of a party only, but ofthe whole
people of the U. States; trusting that
the future policy of the Government may
be such as to secure the happiness and
prosperity of arr, without distinction of
party. This sounds very well. We
shal see.
g The spirited and manly letter of
the Hon. J. P. Kexxeny, of Md. will
be found entire in this day’s paper.
Regishry Tax.—We refer ajl interest
cd to the advertisement of the Collector
of Taxes in this day’e paper. That tells
the whole story.
The Court of Common Pleas, is now
in session in this town.
Be_7 A terrible Nortl;-east snow storm
was raging last night, as our paper went
to press. £
7 The awful ciy of “fire,” was
sounded through our streets a little after
sunsct last evening. The fire proved to
be a chimney,(which burnt very freely,
but fortunately did no damage,) on the
Ferry wharf, in the house of Mr. T. J.
Peckham. We undersi.nd the chimiey
was swept (thoroughly, as Mr. P. had
reason lo believe,) a feww weeks since,
by a colored person who follows that
business here. We hope he does not
sweep many chimnies in this way, as
our town may be greatly endangered at
this inclement season.
The Position of the Whigs,—The Mo
bi'e Advertiser defines, in the following
paragraph, the true position of the Whig
party, and expresgec their future deter
mination ;
We have seen, in no Whig qnnrtor,!
any indication of quailing under the re
cent defeat, or abandoning the cause.
The Whigs are made of sterner and bet
ter stuff. In adversity, asin prosperity,
they will stand shoulder to shoulder--an
united band of brothers. In adopting the
principles of resistance to improper for
«ign influence m the clections, and an
improvement of the naturalization laws
to effect this desirable object, they make
no change in, or surrender of, their own
principles, nor do they move one inch
from their own position. Above all, they
eschew and repudiate, in this connection,
utterly and entirely, all religious or sec
tarian views, and will have nothing to do
with any move that is to bring religion,
or any of the religious sects, into the pol
ies of the country. This, with them,
is a settled point,

| Last Thursday wan a proud day for the demacracy of
Newport—the five of patelotism that had been raging in
illuclr bosomy, like & jug of spruce beer in dog-dnys, ¢ver
wince the elecyjon of Polk & Dallns, could no longer be
repressel. but burst out In the shape of a grand sniule
Lmml one old phthisicky, condemned iran six pounder,
mounted on truck-wheels, which was imporied
from Providence expressly fur the occnsion. The gun,
!u scemun, after & careful examination by an emiagnt
brass-founder, was pronounced nighly dangerous and
‘uuufo. aud as no one among the “soverinaity” could be
'l'uund courageous enough to fire it, they hired a couple
of so.diera from the Fort, who performed the service
‘with as much gravity as I 7 they had been fring over the
[.rnvo of n dead comrade. This mirina people to take

this pince—and if Peter Squirt and uil the twelve hun
derd and twenty-five worthies who voted for Dorr's
Constitution had voted the Volk ticket, a gun for each
would have been no small j(;h, and the salute would not
have ended much belore the fourth of March—the most
appropriate time, we should suppose, for such an ex-
Iwlml.a celebration to have commenced. As this I‘n-:

'mnrnin( after this jubilee, by the early boat,—it having
to do duty all through (he Btate—a committee sat up
all night, intending to fire a Wational salute, by way of
benediction, leaving out one gun for Tennessee, but after
a 8 many ineflectual attempts as Dorr made to fire his
gun at the Arsenal, they gave it up in despair—took a
“Lrandy smasher” all round,out of the Luther fund—and
went home in high sPiriTs. r.

HERALD OF THE TIMES.
Coxvicriony or Rev, Ma. 'l‘uuul:'.'.—i
This gentleman, indicted for stealing
slaves “in Baltimore, was convicted on
Monday of last week, of the offence
charged, It will be remembered llmt]
Mr. Torvey was formerly pastor of the
Richmond n;reei Church in l’rovidence,{
where he hae many attached l'riends.i
and who will deeply sympathize with
him in his distress. His wife is the
daughter of Rev. Dr. Ide, of Medway,i
and grand-daughter of the late Rev. Dr.
Famons. In speaking of the trial of
Mr. Torrey, the New York Ta'ibune!
says : . |
“He was defended by Nathaniel Cox
and Reverdy Johnson, Esqs. Ile was
brought into Court in irons in the pre
sence of his young and beauntiful wife
and her father, who went to Bultimore
from Massachusetts to attend the trial,
The scene was most affecting, and mul
titudes who felt that "Torrey had acted
in a wholly unjustifiable manner could
rot repress their sympathy for a woman
placed in such trying circumstances.’
The evidence against him was so
clear as scarcely to admit of a doybt.—
'lt was proved by scveral witnesses, who
saw him on thp roud, that he took slaves
from a carriage from Ba'timore through
Harford county to Pennsylvania. The
peculiar color of the horses and many
other incidental circumstances conspired
to render it certain that he had done the
acts charged in the indictment. Rever
dy Johnson is said to have made an elo
guent plea in his behalf, and that, too,
without fee or reward, but the Jury on
Monday brought in a verdict of guiity.
The counsel then moved in arrest of
judgment and for a new trial, but we
presume there can be little ground for
hope that he will escape a leng term in
the penitentiary.”
Nothing but the parden of the Gover
nor will preventit ; and even if'this were
given him, it will scarcely avail, as he
h . . aft: s of o . e’ |
is indicjed in Virginia for similar ofl‘en-}
ces, and a warrant is already made out'
and pluced in the hands of officers in
: o AP |
Baltimore to arrvest him, ifliberated, and
hand him over to the authorities, in‘
Virginia. If convicted in Virginia, iz}
would go hard with him indeed, as il.e
punishment in that State is twenty-one
years on eacii count of the indictment,
making in the four cases, eighty-four
years! This case will no doubt be a
warning to others. |
Frcem the Boston Drily Advertiscr,
Tur Messaoe.—We do not propose to go.
into an elaborate discussion of the topics of
the President’s Message, or of the views pre-|
sented in it. We beg leave, however, to re-|
“unrk very briefly upon two ot three of the
promainent features of the document,
- The ¢laborate, but common place eulogy
‘upon the character and aperation of our form
‘of government, ig onlircfy misplaced; and it
‘,opcrutci as a severe trial of patience to those
'vho are looking for something pertinent to
‘the occasion. [t is surprising that those who
'have occasion to write legislative’ addresses,
(which are necessarily long irom the namber
lof topies to be touched upon, should think it
‘necessary, so elnborately to protract their te
‘diousness, by mtrodocing disscrtations on
‘topice whicli have nothing ta do wiih the bus
iiness in hand. Had there been reason to an
‘ticipate a ser,ous proposition to set aside our
forta of government, and to substitue another,
there might have been some propriety in urg
ing upon the attention of Congress the beau
tiful working of the present system, especial
ly if he had reason to believe that it was a
subject to which the attention of the mem
bers had not been particularly attracted, |
" I'he general tone of the review presented
inthe Message, of the foreign relations of
the country is pacific, and at the same time
independent, and therefore satisfactory.
There was little of information to be commu
nicated, and this is the more gratifying, as we
thave fortunately little to ask of foreign na
tione, !
.y | wl thr o
| The principal topic, and the on'y one in,
iwlsich the President appears to have taken
‘any deep interest, ils that of the annexation of|
“T'exas. This watter the President has con-|
;linued to retain, in almost the precise condi- |
‘tion in which the adjournment of Congress
[leftit. In two respects however, he has pre-|
(sented the question in anovel aspect. This |
‘novelty we believe, consists entirely in his
'llm'lu of stating the cese, and not in apy ag-|
‘tual change in the facts on which it rests, = |
' Ist. ‘The President throws out of view the
'fact, that the T'exas treaty, negotiated under,
'his instructions, and submitted by him 1o the
‘Senate, was fully considered and rgrrled by
‘that body by a very large majority. < I'hl3 im
‘portant lact he appears to have entirely lost
(sight of. ludeed he declares, in 8o many
'words, that “the two governments have al
{remh/ agreed, (Lrough their respeclive organs, |
ron ihe tenns cf annexation” “I'ha only or
gans, known to”our constitution, through
‘which this Government can agree on the terms
of any engagement with another Govern
‘ment, are the FPresident, with the udvice and
consent of the Senate. A treaty with a For
eign Government which has the sanction of
{the President alone, and to which the Senate
ihns refused 1t assent, sure'y 18 no agreement’
'with that governmeni: Yet the President
brings forward this rejected treaty, as con
taining the terms of annexation already agreed
“on by the organs of the government, and pro
'poses that they shall be adopted by Congress
“inthe form of a joint resolution or act.”
An act of Congress may often be necessary
to give effcct toa treaty concluded by the
President and Senate, and duly ratified ; but|
[this we will venture to say is the first time it
Lwas ever proposed to Congress to adopt, by a
resolution or an act, a treaty which has been
'rejeeted by the Senate. \
|2, T'he President informs vs not only that
the terms of annexation have been agreed on
‘through the organs of the two povernments,
but that the people themselves have confirm
yed the ngreement and “deelared in favor of
Himmedinte annexation.,” This information
(st take the people Ly surprise, for we are
“we!lassured that wany of them had dreamed
of no such thing.-<V'hese are the President’s
ywords © A coniroll ng ma,ority of the Peo:
plo, and a lerge majonity of the Utates, have
Tdeclared ‘n favor of immedinte “annexation.
Hnstrnetiona have thus come up to both
heanehagof Congreas; from thoir lespective
constituents, m terms thd most emphatic. 1
i« the will of hoth the People and the States,
ihhat T'exns shall be annexed to the Union
promptly end immedintely.”
We were not prepared for sucli ni geser
tion a 8 thie, in 8o distinet and positive terins,
‘We were tully aware that it would be argu.
Led, that the electionof Messra, Puik and Dal
Jas must be regarded, as an indieation of the
"popularsentitent favorable to the annexation,
Buat we had not unagimed that any one would
g e tar s to advance the opimion, 811! less
""wuucn L a 8 an nnguestinoable fact, that a
majority of the people have deelared in favor
of immediate wunexation, It must be known
to every oue ut all acquainted with the cau
ses which produced the result of thelate elec.
tion, that it was mainly the force of party
comhination, and not the opiniohs of the peo
ple on the question of annexativn, or on any
other -w-mflc qneltion of policy, that enrned
the Demoeratic ticket in many of the Lales
It is weli known that very many of those who
yoted for the Democratie ticket are opposed
to ganexation. What will the Abalitionists
sny, on secing their votes thus gronped with
those necessary (o give a majority of the peo
ole in favor of annexation? In New Yorl,
for example, unless the votes for Mr. Eirney
are counted with those for Mr. Poli, ns in
favor of annexation, there was & majority of
ten thousand votes agaivst annexation,
