THE REAL OBJECTS OF THE WAR

THE REAL OBJECTS OF THE WAR.
There is commendable frankness about
the leaders of the Southern wing of modern
Democracy. They boldly aVow their object
whenever they advocate any national move
ment. The annexation OF Texas was urged
by them for the avowed purpose of increasing
the numbe. of slave States. They were sue
cessful, though not satisfied with that success.
They now wish 10 conquer Mexico for The
same purpose, and they have the honesty TO
say so. Read the following from the Charles
Ton Courier Of late date:
Besides, every battle fought in Mexico,
and every dollar spent there but insures the
acquisition of territory which must widen the
field of Southern enterprise and power in
the future. And the final result will be to
readJust the whole balance of power in the
contederacy, so as 10 give us control over the
operations of the Government in all time 10
come. If the South be true TO themselves,
the day OF our depression is gone and gone
forever"
The writer goes on TO speak of probable
combination Of the opponents of slavery in
the North TO ''probibi; the introduction OF
slavery in any territory 10 be acquired in Mex
ico," and says:
eff they succeed in restricting slavery one
inch below the Missouri compromise, then if
we submit to it. we shall deserve our depra-
ded destiny. When this issue is rendered US
let the consequences be what they may, we
must meet it as becomes men and freemen.
1t will be no time TO argue. Not that we
should care TO reserve acquired territory
merely as habitation for slaves, but if they
succeed in fixing restrictions against that in
stitution especially, it will be moral degra-
dation and insult 10 us, which, if we bear in
peace, will make US the fit subjects of des-
potism."
The line of the Missouri compromise is
at SO 80. Almost the whole of Mexico
and nearly all lis wealth is below that line.
If we conquer Mexico it is to be annexed TO
this Union as slave States. This is the truth
honestly proclaimed. In commenting upon
this, the Cincinnati Chronicle we'll remarks
''For this, our army has marced on foreign
land. For this, the blood of the brave has
been spilled around the walls of Monterey
For this, have the bones of those who died in
hospitals MANFRED The barren soil of the Rio
Grande! For this, has victory crowned the
gallant actions of the soldier! For this. are

green laurels which may adorn the brows OF
warriors or statesmen! That zoe may build
up new StdUe States 10 CONTROL the opera.
lions of the Government in all time to
come"!i!
We do not mean 10 exaggerate this case
But the reader knows that the actions of the
Administration correspond with the the.
DRY of the writer. He lays the Administration
TO his heart. He has only spoken frankly
what they mean TO do if they can.
If, by any supineness on the part of the
people, they should prevail, who can tell the
end? 1t will be well, indeed, if the histo.
ran is not compelled TO write:

CAPTURE oE CHIHUAHUA.-The Lexing-
ton, Missouri, Express says, that chihuahua
was captured without any difficulty by Gen.
Wool. The army, it seems, entered the city
without resistance-the American flag was
saluted by the citizens, and after few hours
had elapsed, the American officers were in
vited TO partake of a splendid dinner, which
had been prepared for them by the Chihua-
huans. This is a new method of capturing
an enemy's town.
