in the United States, fail to perceive that a war declared under these circumstances, is not a war of reSistence to the final alienation of Texas from Mexico, but war agains, the increase of the Federal Union. The point of honor s no where really involved, and the resistance to aggression is clearly pretence to which the devoted Mexican advocate m this country cannot assent.
 Why then does Mexico adopt the mad policy of at- tempting hopeless war, on grounds purely vndic- uye1 The United States do no wrong to Mexico m treating Texas as independent. when Mexico herself says she win agree to that independence, provided Texas will resist tho wishes of the United States. It Is the United States that is wronGed by Mexico, in the offer of such hostile stipulation. What ope- rates upon Mexico 10 pursue this enmty to war-a that be disastrous to herself and is utterly vain for the accomplishment of any purpose for which il is to be decIaredl What, or rather tvho is the cause of this unspeakable folly. We cannot do more than offer conjecture in explanation of this extraordinary conduct. The Mexicans are an unedu- cated and excable people, much under the influence of class of military Ieaders-lhe politicians who play upon the national susceptibiliues and gnor- ance. It is the game of some of these parties in- flame national sentiment against the United States, and Of the secret may be that Presiden- lal election is coming on, and war, glory, national honor, and so forth, are good party cries. Govern ments have often found them useful diversions of the public mind for the repression ot domestic dscon- tens and for in elections, and Mexico is an admirable field tor the employment of such topics The Mexican WAT may be threatened and procaim- ed, nay it may be commenced the instant declar- ed, and yet the more acute and intelligent Mexicans look early mediation speedy settlement. The game of domestic politics may be involved in these demonstrations for a great national which Is probably destined to come 10 nothing.
 There is another explanation bearing the ar of probability and conforming in general with the of British policy in Texas and Mexico towards the United States. It is that Mexico expects British aid and declares uson the faith and perhaps the promise of British capital and arms carry it on. We have no doubt of the anxiety of England to re- press American growth and cultivate predominant | influence in neishborhoud on this continent, but we doubt whether she encourages this war with any intention to take part in il, olhe than as mediator, controlling the terms oi peace and establishing nlu- ence in furthersnce ot her future plans. In a lew days we shall have the Mexican Procla- nation of WAR, and son'e signs of what they mean by such piece of unaccountable folly.
