Gov. ‘S'riuNei~:iv'r’s’ STRINGENT Law is like-
ly to amount to but little after all. The Times
has discovered that the passage of such an en-
actinent would be very difficult, and attempts to
let the Governor down from his earnest - recom-
mendation as easy as may be. The Times
should have imparted this bit of information to
his Excellency before the ground had been ta-
l-:e:i for such is la\v. This is certainly putting
the Governor in a very unenviable posit.ion——
placing himself at the feet ofthe editor of the
Times, taking lessons in law!

gestion of Mr. Toucey with their ideas of the

VVhe.n the news of the commencement of hos-

sent to occupy Mexican soil in the face ofa large
hostile army, and this too after we had been
warned that the taking possession of either’ bank
of the Rio Grande would be deemed a declara-
tion of war. The threat was unheeded. No
aid was sent to our small force encampcd

trained for war, having been engaged in denies-

DEAR Sm:—The President's proclamation!
received here this morning announces the exis-;
tence of war between the United States and
‘Mexico. It was not unexpected. The \Vl1igs
saw clearly that war would result from the an-5
nexation of Texas and the dismemberment of .
Mexico‘. So they prophesied, but the peoplel
believed not, heeded not their warnings. Thisl
Nation, like the Israelites ofold, called for meal
who would prophecy smooth things unto them.
Such men were not wanting. False Prophets
arose on every side. The people followed af-
ter them, and now they must suffer for their un-
beliefand wickedness.
This is another war waged in behalf of Slave-'
ry. \Vo spent Millions of Dollars in making-
Florida a Slave State.
was not satisfied with this squandcring of the
peoplo’s money to secure the supremacy and
perpetuity of the Slave power. Another offer-
ing was demanded——another sacrifice required.
A victim was soon found. Mexico, a weak and
unoffending Republic was that victim. She was
dismembered, despoiled of one of her States
and offered up‘ as a sacrifice to the demon,
Slavery.’ Northen men assisted at the unholy.
jmmolation. And now the dark pull of’ Slavery
gcoversthe vast regions between the: Sabine and
say they, “can whip two Englishmen, three
Frenchmen, and about thirty lVIexicans.” This
same braggadocia spirit governs Mr. Polk’s
movements. And if that little band of Ameri-
cans are sacrificed, their blood will lie athis door.
But I have already talked too long of war and of
the blunders of this stupid and bungling admin-
istration. I could scarcely saylcss, forit isthc
all absorbing topic here. The city has been
flooded with “Extras" for a week past, and our
citizens, I mean those who (Izz'n7:——fcel that the
Government is in the wroiig and has placed the.
Nation in a position which will not. receive the
sanction of the civilized world. Other Admin-
istrations may have been as bad as this, and seine
as corrupt, but none have equalled it in stupidity.
The city is filled with strangers, attracted
here by the anniversaries. I believe they have
been unusually wcllattendcd. I happened to be
passing up Broadway, Tuesday morning, and
went into the Tabernacle with the crowd. I
found quite a large audience collected to listen
to the fanatical ruvings of Garrison and his fol-
lowcrs. There was a sprinkling of blacks among
the abolitlonists. This of course added to the
respectable appearance of the whites, that is‘
it. made them appear respectably ic/Lite. The
speaking was very good, but the sentiments of
the speakers were blasphcmous and treasonable.
The far famed Abbey Kelley foamed and
scrceched after her usual manner.
Dr. Tyng an Episcopal Clergyman who suc-
ceeded the lamented Dr. Milnor as Rector of St.
G'corge’s Ch. has been the most popular speaker
at the anniversaries. His speeches before the
Tract and Bible societies were received with
rapturous applause. The applause was well incr-
ited. He is one of the ablest and most eloquent
Clergyman I have ever heard. His friends no
doubt would like to see him electcd'Bishop of
this Diocese.

law of the state.
There was also a National Medical Conven-
tion in session here last week, over which Dr.
Knight of New Haven presided. _Surely New
York ought to be a healthy, orderly and religious
city hereafter.
The message of your Governor I fear will
prove disastrous to the cause of temperance in
this State. Our election which is to decide
whether rum shops shall be licensed or not, takes
place on Tuesday next. Some hopes were en-
tertained that the thousand Groggcries scattered
all over the State, now sowing so profusely the
seeds of vice and crime, would be Eloscd for one
year at least. But since the Governor of Con-
necticut lias decided that a law prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating drinks is-unconstitutional our
hearts have failed as. \Ve give up the contest.

Several years ago my hair began to fall rapidly

your Hair Tonic. I used three or four bottles,
according to the printed directons, and at the end
of six months, my hair was thick set, and since,
its tendency to turn grey was arrested.

that they havcjust. received a-select assortment of

Spring and Summer Fas/z.ions of 1846.

sclcclctl stock, shall bc_/-'ull_v/ suslainccl.
\Ve have availed ourselves largely ofthe re-
cent reduction of prices in New York, conse-
quent upon the very severe pressure in the mo-
ney market, and our stock never was more coin-
pleto in every particular; and as the greater
part of the goods of most of our merchants were
probably bought some three weeks ago, at the
spring prices, we are safe in. sag/Azngfhal toe are
well prepared to OFFER BARGAINS in all
kinds of Goods to Cash I7’-urchascrs.
Those who favor us with an early call, will
have the satisfaction of selecting from an assort-
ment; unrivaled in extent and variety,‘ and at pri-
ces which we pledge ourselves shall prove sat-
