"INKLINGS OF WAR;

|. This head is attached to an article from the New
York "Tribune, which notices the return of Gen.
Scott from West Point to Washington. The "Tri-
bune" says that whilst the General "appeared to
be quite at leisure, lin the city of New York; the
night train brought an officer from Washington in
quest OF Gen. Scott, who, after brief interview,
left post-haste for Washington. These facts, as re-
lated to us, strengthen the report that Mexican
force is on the Nueces."
The philadelphia American also attaches UNI
due consequence to " the haste with which the Gem
eral-in-chief has been summoned to Washington, -
as one Of the signs of "the rash inscriptions, and
belligerent counses which are presiding at Wash.
ington."
Now, we understand, on the best authority, that
General Scott fastened from West Point to Wash
ington and TO Richmond to psi sick family; and is
now quietly in his Office, attending to his ordinary
professional business
The Union,' it seems, cannot please everybody
-(and, indeed, how could we expect it0-for,
whilst the " Philadelphia American is pleased to
remark the exasperatous (erasperatio,s y insulting
language Of the government official" as another
proof of the crash, unscrupulous, and belgerent
counsels'' which preside at Washington, the Liv-
erpool European Times" gives the "Union" the
credit of abatng, by its conciiatory peace tone the
war fever in England. We deserve credit for
neither, and neither paper does us exact justice.
We are in favor of an amicable negotiation for set
Ting the controversy about Oregon. We express
the opinion and the wish that such negotiation
will take place at Washington. We are for peace
but it must be an honorable peace. We are for war,
if the rights and honor of our country demand it.
This is our true position. We have taken care to
define it, through the columns of the Union, on all
| occasions.
