Some of the papers North are urging upon the
President the expediency of Immediately calling an
extra session of Congress. We doubt very much
the necessity of any such step, so far our rea-
tons with Mexico are concerned There has been
yet no declaration of war; and whether there will
be one, or not, is just uncertain now as it was
two weeks ago. The probability is, that this state
of uncertainty may last for months to come. Our
opinion is, that Mexico, conscious of her impotence
and entire inability to carry on active hostilities,
will put herself in the attitude of quasi-,oar. BY
threatening and bullying, and such warlike premi
naries, she will strive to make the world believe
there is to be war; and thus she will impede our
| commerce, harass and vex our government and as
efecually stop all trade and intercourse with our citi-
zens, as could be done by PRONUNCIATION of war or
an embargo. Indeed, it must be obvious to every
one that the continuance of the present dubious as
pect of international relations for six months longer
will work much greater injury to u.s. than could any
belligerency waged by puny neghbor. The
policy is one too, which Great Britain is disposed
to favor. The expulsion Of American traders from
Mexico, and the stoppage of American co nmerce,
and the exclusion of American manufactures will
be great gain to her--for then she monopolizes the
Mexican Market whereas, breaking out of HOSTILE
ties might result in political changes very unfavora-
bic to British ascendency in Mexico. We think,
then, that the settled policy Of Mexico will be to
threaten war; and keep up constant state of alarm,
without any overt declaration of hostilities Under
such circumstances, no necessity exists for the pres
ent, for the call ofan extra session. The Executive
Is vested with adequate powers to meet every emer.
gency. In the meanwbile--let us quietly await the
progress of events, and the development Of Mexi-
co.'s intentions. And fMexco continues to main
tain the same menacng, quasi bellcose attitude
when our Congress meets in December then will il
be the duty Of our President to recommend the
adoption OF measures to coerce our neighbors into
decent behavior--a compliance with the usages OF
civilization, and obedience the laws of nations

We regret 10 see the New York Morning News

and just, how much forbearance IS required of the
American people, Have we not, time and again,
almost without number, submitted to the petty acts
oftyranny and oppression--ay, direct insult-upon
our national honor, from the government of Mexico
and now, to crown the whole, she declares war, OF
pretends she will do it-and yet such able and inau-

bearance and submission of cause to arbitrauon
