THE MEXICAN WAR.

To the members of the present Administration,
and to the party generally by which it is upheld,
we respectfully recommend very serious consi-
deralon of the following expression of opinion by
one of their most honest and dsinterested sup
porters:
NEW YORK EVENING POST.
"An invasion of Mexico by land is another mat
ter. To overrun and subdue 2 country contain
ing eight millions of inhabitants is not work for
a small army like that under the command of Gen.
Taylor. For such purpose we require host
like that with which Napoleon invaded Spain, or
that which Great Britain maintains in India. The
further troops penetrate into their country the
greater is the necessity for large forces to over
: awe opposition, TO keep open the communication
: with the United States and ensure the safe trans
: mission OF provisions and munitions OF war, TO
establish posts of observation, and to supply the
z daily loss OF skirmshes. Wherever armies
{ may march in Mexico, the necessity of drawing
large proportion of their supplies from this
country would still exist. Even the troops at
I Monterey would be reduced to great extremities
if their communication with the United States
were cut off. In that valley, with all its fertility,
the horses of the American cavalry are fed on hay
from the State of Maine.
To maintain on foot an army destined for such
purpose, and under such circumstances, will
make demand upon the resources Of oar country
/ Of which those pho do mol carefully consider The
subject are not aVare and which we should be
glad TO see reserved to occasions of the greatest
necessity. 1t anouid giUe The genius Of oar ma
lion military direction, turn topurposes Of de-
strucfon that energy and enterprise which should
| be employed IN the arts Of peace, and lead 10
those departures from democratic simplicity Il,

~
It would draw after it expenses which no indem
nifty that could be wrung from Mexico would ever
repay, and for which The possession of all he,

VICTORY WITHOUT SpoILs-The New York
Globe is engaged (says the Richmond Times) in an
amusing argument to prove that the late victory of
the Wings in New York will be of no value TO
them, because, what is perfectly horrible in Demo-
Gratis estimation, it is a victory Withom spoiis:
"The Wings (says the Gobe) extremely unfortunate.
II that fate destiny, and Providence conspired
against them They have elected their Governor, majority
of the Assembly, and Canal Commissioner. With all
this victory it is extremely doubtful whether there any
spols in store for them The Senate is against them the
new constitution cuts Off nearly all Executive appointments
and il even deprives them Of a Canal Commissioner.
There is vacancy the office Of Canal Commissioner
occaoned by the death Of Mr. Ea 1t the duty
Gov. Wright fill it, and then the board will be full Poor
Whigery; partial victory but spoils !"

THE NORTH CAROLINA SENATORS.

We take the occasion of announcing to our readers
the reelection of Mr.. MANGUM TO the Senate Of the
United States for another term of six years, TO ex-
event. which is, however, no more than we, and
we believe the country generally, expected from
the WHIGs of NORTH CAROLINA; as, without intend
ing the slightest dsparagement to more youthful
candidates, who, we learn from the Raleigh Regis
ter, had been spoken of, the ardent patriotism and
faithful services Of Mr.. MANGUM entitled him, in
our opinion, to the honorable distinction Of recev-
ing the unanimous vote Of his political friends foI
reelection.
Upon Mr.. BADGERS election to fill the vacancy
in the Senate occasioned by the resignation Of Mr.
HAYWOOD, we expressed the other day the very
great pleasure that the prospect Of his re-appear
ance in public affairs afforded us. In regard tha
gentleman we trust there is ground for the doubt
implied in the following paragraph from the " Re
gster," whether he will accept the trust confded to
him in manner complimentary
cit is coincidence worthy of remark, that in both in
where Office has been conferred upon Mr. BADGER
has been done only without his solicitation but under
which rendered very doubtful whether he would
yield the wishes Of the appointing power. When selected
by Gen. HARRIsoS member of his Cabinet he accepted
most reluctantly know, the trust conferred upon him
and now, while absent from the city, without nmang
any human being that he would accept the appointment the
high the responsible the proud position of United States Sc
has been rendered him. II is belief that he DL
accep-hat he cannot decline office bestowed under cir
cumstances honorable to his character, gratifying his
feelings. He cannot he cH not subject himself to the i'm
putaon of nsensbty to kindness of indifference to the
public welfare"

MEXICAN LETTERS OF MARQUE.

The last New Orleans /" Bulletin states, an
important item in the recent intelligence from the
city of Mexico, that letters from thence as late as
the 3Oth ultimo, from the best sources announce
the issuing of large number of Letter-of-marque
Commissions, which have been forwarded to Ha-
vana, together with blank patents for naturalizing
the crews Of such vessels as may accept the COM
missions. This information (he Bulletin further
says) is confirmed by letters from Havana, which
say that Don FELN RIVERA, who arrived there ir
in the last steamer from Vera Cruz, is the bearer o
these commissions, and the object of his mission is
to endeavor to put them into effect 1t is, however
stated that the Spanish authorities will do all they
can to prevent it, but that there many despe-
rate characters and slave-traders about Havana that
it is possible they may elude all the precautions
adopted by the authorities. Our Government ought
Immediately to strengthen the Gulf Squadron by
numerous small fastsang cruisers, to nip the plan
in the bud, if any Of these privateers should be
fitted out.

COMMANDMENT OF TABAsco.

The New Orleans Pcayune has been furnished,
by an Officer Of the Navy who was engaged in the
affair of Tabasco, with an ample summary and
sketch of the proceedings of Com. PERRY, with the
detachment of vessels sent under him against Ia
basco. The enterprise (the Pcayune says) was al
together successful. The object Of the expedition
to cut out certain prizes anchored in the river.
These were all taken. When the city was sum-
moned to surrender, the people were all in favor Of
yielding at once. The Governor and soldery OPP
posed it. Time was given for all peaceable per-
sons, women and children, to get out of harms
way but the Governor would not allow any one
leave, that is feared most Of those killed dur
ing the bombardment were not soldiers. Some of
the regulars were killed. Had it been that the
execution was principally done upon inofensive
persons the city would have been demolished, with
the exception of the residences of foreign consuls
and the hospitals.
We give in another column the official account of
these proceedings.

tional Intelligencer. Our able and respected con-
temporary says SO much more for us than we can
say for ourselves, that must beg pardon of our
readers for departing from our habit, by placing
his fattering notice in our own columns. OF the
numerous kind things which from time TO time
have been said of paper by editorial breth-
ren we have not been unobservant: still less have
we been ungrateful for them, as our silence may by
some have been supposed TO imply. But we have
feared to transcend the limits of propriey by pub
lcly acknowledging, much more copying them. At
this juncture however, and in the present instance,
we venture to depart from the reserve which we
have in general imposed on ourselves in this
particular.

THE WAR. AND IT'S OBJECTS.


When we wrote and printed the article under the
above caption in our paper of Saturday last we
were not aware that the argument of the Georgia
Federal Union was not original with that paper,
or that any body else agreed with it. We have
since received the Cincinnati Daily Chronicle of
November IL, containing extracts from an impos-
ing communication published in the Charleston
Courier, expressing, we are sorry TO say, the same
identical leading idea. The canker is more
morbid and more extensive than we had supposed.
Indeed, we confess some alarm at finding such SEN
timents in paper loyal and so devoted 10 the
union of these States as the Charleston Courier has
heretofore always been. To show to what extent
the correspondent of the Courier has gone, we copy
the following paragraph of his communication, as
quoted in the number of the " Chronicle now lying
before u.s.
Besides, every battle fought in Mexico, and
every dollar spent there, but ensures the acqusi-
ton of territory which must widen the field of
Southern enterprise and power in the future. And

lance of power in the coniederacy, so as 10 give

selves, the day of our depression is gone, and
