Now we all kuow that the history of tho world presents most deplorable instances of wars waged oniy for plunder, iu which the motive has been frequently the same as that of the assassin who puts the knife to the throat of the miser in order to possess himself of his gold. Mr. Vinton says that this war with Mexico is a war on our part of aggression aud wrong, and of all wars most to be deplored. What an abominable outrage, then, must it be Aud yet, be it remembered that Pearson, the gallant man who fell fighting in this war, is honored with a public burial, us the defender of the right, aud the Rev. gentleman who thus denounces the war and predicts curses on our country aud a doom on our national existence for tho outrageous wrongs which Pearson and Taylor and Scott have thus perpetrated on an innocent that wc di not do it ourselves Lot the day never come, let the hand that would be raised to strike that blow be palsied before it falls.

Wo love the Union, It was founded iu the heroism ofour fathers aud cemented with their blood. It was tho first vision ofour childhood, and let it deceuds with us to the grave. To perpetuate it we would sacrifice our blood. But it may not be in our powsr to preserve it. Whether it will be or not will depend mainly on the south.

This I shall attempt to show in my next. One of the PEorLE. Bills on Uie Corporation. Look now, observe the deep simplicity Oi these weak, su'itle knaves Mr. Editor, In the proceedings of tho Common Council on Monday evening last, I see the Finance Committee state in their report ou certain bills referred to them for payment, that in many cases they had found items charged more than ouce, and iu some instances three times," and the committee offered a resolution providing that such bills shall henceforth be presented every month, and properly certified and sworn to before payment This resolution, I find, was adopted, and it has The Past and Future VfOi 2.

Brooklyn, Thursday evoaiug, July 13, 1848. Mr. Editor The distinguished courtesy with which 'you treated, not only my article, but myself, has given you a claim upon my gratitude aud if you knew how Borry I should be, to offend any of your political principles or feelings, you Would perceive only a proper recognition of your kindness In what 1 write for the Eagle, I shall assail no man's character or motives, because of a difference of opinion. I am willing to treat my fellow men with the same charity 1 ask for myself. Willi iu the last twenty four hours, wo have been excited by events, which have excited the world.

Tho extras were cried through our streets last evening, and the news from Paris almost made our hearts stop bleeding. The Genius of Liberty that had risen in France, as fair and pure and beautiful as it shone on the eye of Plato himself, suddenly appeared in an ocean of blood wc began to fear that the young Republic was dead. But when the first shock passed, our alarm subsided, aud our confidence lay in the two hundred aud fifty thousand of the National Guard of Paris iu the patriotism of Lamartine in the firmness of Cavaiguac in the wisdom of the National Assembly in the spirit of the age, aud iu the God of Freedom. While these hopes and fears were agitating our hearts, the steady beat of the muffled drum, struck on our ears, aud the funeral train, with its drooping banners, and waving plumes begau its march from the water, bearing through our midst the precious ashes of the fallen heroes. Wc read their names as they went by Baxter, Pearson, Barclay, Gallagher, Chandler, and our hearts went with Ihcm to the quiet shades of Greenwood, where they will rest till the last trumpet calls.

In a few years the green grass, and the green trees, and the wild flowers will be waving around their mouument marbles, aud their names will live iu the pantheon of our history. At that period, too, the great is entitled to great credit for his disinterested agency in the matter. The elegant coffin and other incidents were procured at a Turgo expenditure of time, trouble, and money; and Mr. with a public spirit, which ontitles him to general commendation, very generously contributes all except his actual outlay of money iu procuring materials, horses, carriages, grooms, etc. His only desire was to make the funeral what it should be, us far as he was concerned, aud wc are happy to add, that according to the united testimony of all, ho succcoded boyond his most Bauguine expectations.

OCT A woman named Ann Martin of Williams burgh, was sent to the Kings county almshouse on Thursday last, iu a senseless condition aud with bruises ou her pcrsou. She died ou Saturday. Suspicions wcro rife that she had been roully dealt with by her husband, Bryan Martin, who was accordingly arrested. An inquest was held on Saturday by Coroner Anderson, which served to dispel the suspicion that she had been murdered. The jury found a verdict that she came to her death by the too frequent use of intoxicating liquors, and the prisonor was accordingly discharged.

The bruises had been caused by an accidental fall. River thieves. Robert Harris and Frederick Billingston were arrested this morning by officer McXeuzie, for stealing a pair of patent davit blocks from Capt. Lake of the schr. St.

Mary's. The prisoners sail a small sloop ou board of which, besides the above, were found a lot of property supposed to he stolen, such as four pair of davit blocks, coils of rigging, elc. They were detained for been a matter of great surprise to me, for some time past, how the same name could be appended to so many different demands for payment as I have no ticed regularly brought before the board at each Bitting. Many of these demands are worded in the reports. presented his account for so much," and the response iu a vast number of in stances, was ordered for payment This mode of doiug business may be all very correct, but the public, apprehend sir, would like to know for what service or supply such amounts are demanded, and the reason why each man's ac counf is not made in full, and not detailed a part Xr, Vinton and (lie ISexican War.

Although tho task is an unpleasant one, we cannot permit tho addreso of Mr. Vinton, on tho occasion of the laic obsequies of Co.pt. Pearson, to go before the publie without attemping the correction of what seoms to us very great and absurd 01 rors. We hear much regret expressed from every class of citizens and ffom every side in politics that Mr. Vinton should have seized such an occasion to arraign tho government of his country on the score of the Mexican war.

Even those who condemn that war the loudest were not satisfied to havo it denounced over the grave of a brave officer who had fallen, as we all say and as the orator himself said, or intimated, gloriously, in the hour of his couutry's triumph. To say the least, it was in very bad taste to make these funeral services the occasion for invoking curses" on our country for denouueing the war in which we have beeu engaged as a war aggression and wrong" and foreboding a blight ou our honor and a doom on our national existence." But since the reverend gntlemau has chosen to thrust his obnoxious opinions thus boldly before the public, and has forced us to hear them whether we would or no, he cannot complain if they are subjected to a brief examination. The orator starts with tho proposition that our nature recoils at the thought of being left uuburied and craves a peaceful grave." This truth," he says, I can prove by an appeal to consciousness." But he waB not satisfied with this, the strongest of all possible methods for substantiating truth, and went on 10 prove it by an appeal to history, giving us two columns of meaningless quotations from Greek and Hebrew authorities in order to justify the rescue of Pearson's body from a foreign grave and show that the desire for decent burial was really an instinct implanted in us by God and, therefore, as we suppose, never to be violated. And then, at the end of these two columns of learned but useless research, we are informed that the object was to make an argument against foreign war. His sylogistn is put in these words here and a part there.

Some $10,000 were drawn out, this sum not however being half as large as was expected by the As I have said, sir, this may be all fair aud just and honorable, but to me it does not appear very business like, and affords the public, who eventually have to pay all those multiplied items, just grounds for suspecting, where there is such apparent design, their must be something wrong, either withheld or covered up I beg, therefore, to congratulate the citizens of Brooklyn ou a resolution for the better satisfaction of the public, that there money is not unnecessarily squandered. In calling the attention of the public to this subject, I do not select any particular class by whom service has been rendered and pay demanded, but to the whole 9ystem of unexplained, or covered up accounts, the mere presentation of which, I should think, was au insult to the board in their capacity as business men, and guardians of the public funds.

Justitia. nation, comes forward before a public assembly and, inconsistently enough, pronounces his eulogy. It is iu vain that he attempts to escape from this gross and glaring inconsistency by the plea that these men are not responsible for their conduct. lie tells us, to be sure, that he is" ready to maintain that the guilt of this war does not rest on the soldiers who are commanded to wage and fight the battles that they arc boundboth by love oj country aud by the duty of allegiance to submit to their rulers." But what kiud of republicanism nay, what kiud of morality is this? We might as well be tjld that the robber who enlists under his pirate chieftain to plunder and murder on the high seas is not guilty of the high crimes which the law of nations adjudges upon him. Capt.

Pearson was not commanded to go out to Mexico. His country had no more demands upon him than upon Mr. Vinton, or Mr. Arnold, or any other man. But when our soil was invaded by a foreign foe when an army crossed the Rio Grande and murdered our citizens, attacked our defences, and made war on our country, he stepped for'h from the mass of citizens and voluntarily offer ed to be one who would go forth aud assist his couu.

try in redressing this outrage and in vindicating the national honor. Bound by the love of country, indeed What kind of love is that which helps its country to commit acts of plunder and murder As if any body in this free country was bouud to assist the government in its acts of aggression and wrong as if auybody was under obligation to do an act which would cast a blight on our honor and a doom on our national existence I No, toe are the government Captain Pearson and Mr. Vinton we who write, and you who read, are parts of the government. When our public servants go right we sustain them when they go wrong we make them feel the force of public opinion. If v.

voluntarily uphold them in their aggressions on the rights of other nations we make ourselves accessary to their crimes if we unsheath the sword to assist them in their robberies and murders, instead of being borne to our graves, when fall, by long processions, and honored as patriots and public servants, cur flesh should bo given to dogs aud vultures, our dust trodden under foot, aud our names cast out as evil. Gen. Sco.tt aud Gen. Taylor are soldiers, but they are also freemen. If they believed the war to be aggressive, they ought to have scorned the service in which they have played so prominent a part.

We honor Washington because he drew his sword ou principle and we trust it will be long before any other usage will prevail iu this republic There are but two sides to this question, and men must choose between them.

A word, that should long ago have became an obsolete term iu our political vocabulary a word, which the new French Republic, and even the old despotism of our fatherland, have cancelled from the scrolls of legislation and how will it have been decided?

Mr. Vinton, however, in speaking to the reporter of the Herald, accidentally used the name of the Star instead of the Eagle, which fact being communicated to Mr. Spoonor, he magnified it into a pledge on the part of Mr. Vinton and it now appears that this slip of the tongue was the basis of the Star's blunderbuss of Saturday Brooklyn, Saturday July 15, 1848. Mr.

Wm. M. Harris. Dear Sir At your request I beg to assure the public that no unfair means were used to obtain the copy of my oration for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. I delivered you the manuscript immediately after I had used it, agreeably to your request and my promise made the day previous.

You were the first to apply for it. The solemnities were about to be begun when I received a note requesting a copy for the Brooklyn Star. The fault is mine in not distinctly bearing iu mind which paper vou represent war is necessarily a war ot aggression and wrong. I confess that I forbode a retribution on our country: for, tell me, whom bath God blessed of all the conquerors of Mexico." I say then, 1 iorebode blight on our honor, and a doom on our national existence from the very glory of this foreign war.

Their wives and mothers never bound on their swords to propagate slavery. They were never sent beyond the Rio Grande to spread your peculiar institutions and till we go there, then, never attempt to wring from us our consent to make that land a land of slaves. Congress has 110 authority whatever in this question. It has no right to run a line to the Pacific aud parcel off that territory devoting one poitiou of it irrevocably to slavery as well may it attempt to establish slavery on the eastern end of Long Island. It has no authority whatever in the matter.

It cauuot make laws for unborn men. The fundamental principle of our government is too clear that t7iose who live on the soil, alone have the right to decide what their social and domestic institutions shall be. All the agitation that has attended this question has grown out of the fanaticism of the advocates of abolitionism 011 the oue side, and of slavery on the other. Lot these two insane parties settle their disputed as best they can. They, at least, aro to slavery where it now exists.

But let not the slavery man tell me that he has a right to call on congress to create slavery. He owns no property there now, and he has no right to ask congress to apportion off to him a partof lhatsoil for his own private purposes The north has an undivided share in that territory as it has in the uavy aud the fortifications, and the District of Columbia and thecapilol itself. It has always been said that the national government is not responsible for slavery in the slates and it is true for it did not create slavery there at least in the original confederation. It found it there, aud it let it alone, for tho reason that in no otiVusive war. Ui all other wars, I deplore the war with Mexico.
