The Executive must employ some better argu-
ment to sustain the policy of its war against Mex
leo than resort to our arguments in favor of the
war of 1912. The official paperof Wednesday last,
with an amusing simplicity quotes article OF the
National Intelligencer Of August 1912, in defence
of the war with Great Britain, to prove what
Why, that as it was patriotic in 1912 to support the
for " free trade and sailors rights " against the
most powerful of nations, it is unpa:riotic in 1916
to condemn war of aggression on weak one.
Does the Executive journal consider the two cases
parallel? 1t will find but few besides those who like
ITSELF revove round the Presidential orb to agree with
it; and the Union, well all other Executive satel-
tes, will ere long discover what the popular Judgment
is in respect to this Mexican war of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
and Presidentmaking The conquest of all the de-
serts between the Nueces and the Pacific cannot blind
the people to the true origin and objects of the war;
The country is involved in the war, and, right or
wrong, it must do its best fight it out with honor
but all the glory which our brave little army has
achieved or shall achieve cannot conceal nor redeem
the guilt of those who causelessy brought it on
Does the Union dare to hope that the country will
the flower Of the army and of the nation perish
by hundreds, without stern inquiry into the ne
cessity of such a calamity! The Union quotes
our sentiments of 1912 in favor Of the war with
England, with what expectation of injury to us or
advantage to ITSELF can only be known to its own
inscrutable wisdom. All that we have to say to
the Union on SO harmless an occupation is, that in
like cause with that which gave rise to the war
with England, we would again see every life and
every dollar in the country saked in maintaining
it, and that, if we censured those who condemned
that war, we think quite as badly of those who
weakly or wickedly involve the country in an unne-
cessary we do of those who oppose Just one.

THE BATTLE OF MONTEREY.

We insert in another column, from the Baltimore
papers, some interesting particulars, communicated
by their correspondents in the army, of the hard
fought battle, or rather battles, of Monterey. The
steady and persevcring bravery displayed by the
American troops in storming the various batteries
and entrenched positions of the enemy, during three
successive days, would we may affirm with conf
dence, have done honor to the best veterans Of
France England; and the capture of the city of
Monterey, strong twas both by nature and art and
courageously defended, may vie with the most dar-
ing and brilliant achievements ofthe Peninsular
And what renders this victory the more honorable
to the native bravery of troops (their inherent
heroism,' as a London paper has justly styled it)
is, that great portion of them 1.-THE volunteers)
what might be termed raw troops-never be-
fore having been under enemy's fre-and the
remainder, the regulars, had only short time be-
fore been for the first time, in open field of action
Yet these men, led it is true by officers worthy
them and Of their own lineage, but all unused to
the dread artillery and carnage of battle, ntrepidy
stormed battery after battery, in the face of the most
raking and destructive fire, until victory crowned
their heroic bravery.
We contemn gasconade and all extravagant glor-
Acation but, without Wanting or vain-glory, the
whole nation may be proud indeed, of achievements
which do such honor to the American name, and
which would have shed lustre on the brightest epoch
Of the Republic.
