The lnlellgencer has been tfig htened into

AN extra" EXTRAORDINARY.
"a grand design, not avoweh, nor even limited al
in the Message of the President Congress, is enter
tanned by somebody other, and disclosed by the
to the Administration, elsewhere than here at least,
until dsavowed by it, as we trust it will be without
delay. Not only is war with Mexico conceived Of,
If the Madisonian is to be believed, but ,rn ,cih
Great Britain to help il out! Does the reader doubt
Of such consummate folly as well he may, let him
put on his glasses and run his eye the following
which made IFS appearance in the House of Repre-
sentatives, in the form Of Ext of the Govern
ment paper during the sitting Of that body yester-
day"
SO the astute editor Of the Intelligcncer has
| at length discovered that " a grand design, moi
avowed, nor even limited at, 10 the Message
is entertained by somebody or other!" On this
suspicion the Inlelligencer does not say whe-
ther the President, the Secretary Of State, Or
! g som ebody or Others should be hanged for ii
But it says it "cannot fail TO be imputed to the
Administration, until disavowed by it, as We
rust it vii! be without delay" And this be-
cause Of our famous extra yesterday, containing
eadng editorial from leading Wing paper,
prelaced bv some remarks of our own.
Well, If we must be sacrificed TO appease the
lntelgencer, or any other of ended foreign po,o-
er, we ready for the flames. We not only re-
iterate what we said yesterday, but we 60 fur
Their and say it is our deliberate opinion that the
Government of Great Britain is determined to
check our Republican career, and humble cur
national pride, either by humilialing conditions
or The force Of arms. We believe that the par
would ensue in the event Of war with the
United States, is not SO much dreaded as a
powerful and permanent rivalry through all
future time.
We believe that the success of our ins,itu-
tons is regarded by Great Britain iniInical 10
her security; and that we are destined to mea
sure arms with her again, land in this we but
repeat the opinion Of her own historians or to
submit TO wanlon insult and premediIated in
jury. As an American editor, we do not hesi-
tate to proclaim our preference of the Gist Of the
alternatives.
The lnt,llgencer says we have been guilty
of contempt Of the House Of Representatives,
IN sending lhither Cur extras. If this be so, we
are ready 10 bear the penalty; and it would BE-
so, did we compel the members to read them,
and adopt our opinions. But they read them or
| not, just as they please-and ju.t as they do
with all other papers laid upon their desks.
| In subsequent paragraph the Intellgencer
says it imputes "no part Of the weakness or
wickedness" 10 the Executive. That is right
| impute it all 10 U.s.
| The Inielligencer concludes its trembling ar
| ticle (and well may it ,remble y thus:
Whenever there shall occur in any foreign quarter
any real cause of alarm to ahe National pride or the
National interests, readers may be assured that
they shall have the earliest warning of from the Ma
tional lntelligencer For the present, let them re-
member and take heed OF the following warning voice
Of the New Orleans 'Tropic,' by which the disparag-
ing allusion to that ourna in the publication above
