Our Vice President.
\Vc are fi t withut historical examples, that where
the result ofa war involving the fate ofa kingdom seem
ed desperate, some Frince of the blood, has donned his
Million r, and placing himself at tin* head of the houmIwhl
truojw, risked in one headlong charge at one#*, the fate of
the day and of the dynasty. It is thus that the
rather obscure dignitary, w ln.se title heads this article,
and who is rarely belt re the public tinh ss to report the
“true intent and meaning,” of the caucus which created
him, upon sortie doubtful question # f political morality
It is thus that he u.vv appears as the author cud advocate
of the most sliijK-ndous and magnificent measure ofua
tional in provenu nt, w hich this age of enterprise has en
gendered, in comparison with which the Mavsvilh* Road
—the Louisville (anal—tin* Lake and 1 In her Improve
ments. coes'itute insignificant exercises of Federal Pow
er, whilst \\ hitney’s “New York and Canton Railway
and Meamer Line,” and Mr. ( alhoun's theory of “Inland
S .1*. * will he simply month tied in future to illustrate
the earlier impulses ofa grand system of universal inter
communiratii it, destined to “Americanize” the world.
\\ r have heretofore referred ton letter written ly Mr
(h orge M. Dallas, to some anonymous confrere in Phil
adelphia, in which hcdevelopcs what he states is under
sts-d fo he one of the des gus of the administration in
pr. scenting the war with Mexico, to secure in addition
to such territory, ir> the northern part of Mexico, as wo
may aeqniro an indemnity for “our cists in that behalf
i X|M'ndrd,” the exclusive and irrevocable right of way
aemss the southern part of the “llepuhlic of Mexico” for
'he purpose of constructing a ship canal frmn the Atlantic
to the Ciull of Tehuantepec on the Pacific Ocean. This
projected Canal will he about one hundred and thirty
miles in length, and is said upon a comparison with
other works crossing the continent, to present advanta
ges superior 1o any ether. It will furnish to the com
merce of the world a channel of intercourse more im
portant than any other, since it will lessen the Voyage
Im tween Europe and many ports of Eastern Asia, at least
<’>000 miles, and will of course occasion a corresponding
reduction of freights and insurance. Though merely a
designation of another method of attaining an object sought
h.V the commercial world, since the days of Cortes,
this magnificent measure, fraught with incalculable ad
vantages,would demand the support of every patriot, were
the m itivrs which suggest, and the means which achieve
it. as comm ends Ido as the object is important. \\ hilsf
wo regard w ith admiration, a project which almost every
i one f the gr< at jxiwrrsol Europe basal some limetned
tsttd. wo vet regard with reprolmtioii and astonishment,
the reason by which an a«*t of s|H>liati>n is justified, as
II :*s the paftii ulxr agsut, who placards this splendid
scheme of governujf ntal speculation; as also the organ
i which impresses iis importance upon the American peo
ple. as “a scheme receiving no doubt, the careful consider
•tti"ii o| the administration, and destined tu produce‘great
fit as will to the world at large as to the Lnitcd
Slates.' ”
"but! a statesman so strait laced4that ho could not
tlhiw protection to American industry, h st he should in
advertently advance one section of the I'ni-m at the ex
pense of aunt her— prop, sing to appropriate 25 millions of
■ air m iicy to “benefit the world at large as well as the
1 nited Mates.”
NN h'» will not allow I,akn Harbnrs or llivers vithin

\nd this magnificent sclieme, with its extravagant
I <uit ay. tolerated hy the striel constructionist of the
Itichmund F.mpiirer, who heheld ihc star of our free
j .him set f never in the establishment of an astronomical
' observatory, and saw in despatching an agent to the Con
glass ef Panama “an exercise of executive power ineoui
! |aiihle \\ i tli I he simple opera t imis of mtr Government, and
i calculated to alarm every It-public m.”
lint this document evinces lliiMles|ieration of the Fed
era! Administration. Aware that its jealousy and infer
tain towards the gallant leader of its army is a theme ot
I" pulat execration; and aware that the treaty which ter
, initiates the war in Mexico transft rs it to the Halls of Le
g slat ion In re. it seeks to counteract the consequences uf
Us own acts, hy starting some new object which is to
render tlie war popular, and cause men lo tbrget in the
, rich results nf irn sponsible rapacity, the iniquitousub
JI Cts m which it originattd. Knowing the ultimatum of
the South—the conscientious deb rmination of tin- North
— it has just foresight enough to diead the dilemma in
w hich the territi ry. aequiri d hv one w ar must he rrnmm
