IN . message to tho two Houses Of Congress.
yesterday, the President Of the United States has,
We suppose NO may say with his constitutional
psomPaitude, recommended contingent War upon
MKxSco! "A bclligerent purpose, it is true, DIS
claimed in terms; but for al practical purposes,
the issuing Of Iessers Of Repsisal, Iy Nation
against another, 10 sctually making War, and ma
kiag war under the disreputable circumstance Of
psesendiog Peace the while.
We cannot Say that We arc surprised at THU
Message. il we arc not taken BY surprise BY IT,,
however, We apprel,end our merchants and the A.
resiesn citizens in Mexico will be; for !, has GER
saisIy essme upon rs all - unexpectedly a. clap
ofthundes from cloudlcss sky. There was some
reason to sppscbcnd violent measures on the par,
o. Mexico towards the United States, because
there have been sumoss to that effect; but, really
IL not within The reach Of any ordinary speculs.
tion, siter the professions BY this Government of
smicsblc feelings and designs in regard 10 Mexico,
snd it, late eoncatosy course, that the President
would % promptly Invoke the action Of the war
making power in the relations between the Unitcd
States and thst Government.
thought has iust come TO our mind, which
perhsps may be tho true way ofscc0unting for this
message. II 10 This: that tho President desires to
leave behind him, on bis retirement from Office the
eh,sactes Of that inParsialty in regard to fee,on

Address Of WAsuIxGToN on his retiring from the
station Of Chief Magistrate. Ia our late unhappy

parture ofshs Alinister Of Mexlce from thi. couu

Usited States on the part Of that Government, The
President has perhaps thought hs could apply n.
mildsr remedy in this case shsn heretofore occur

BIZ duty To recommend the same pseseripsioo u tn
