grsss some Of the newspapers, in their eager
ness 10 find fault with the war. have attempted 10

Mr. Shdell. Is il sol
On careful perusal of these documents, we
conceive that the American government is ustifi-
cd in every thing that has taken place in regard to
Mexico. The only error which we think the adj
miaistration has committeeman which we al
ways believed-is the delay in not declaring war
against Mexico a long time ago. The correspon-
dcnce between Mr.. Shdell and Mr.. Buchanan es-
Etblishes the necessity and justice of this war,
and the documents OF Marcy and Bancroft prove
that they did as well rs they could, with the ma
IerlaI under their CONTROL in preparing Gen. Tay

Some errors undoubtedly have been committed;
bni i would be ungcnerous, AT this moment, to
magnify tribes into matters of importance. The
war against Mexico is lust and necessary
war'-much more so than the war which ance
made against Mexico few years ago. Our chas-
tsenent has been delayed too long. The resolu-
tons passed al the great meeting in thePark in

PROPOSED CATHOLIC Mission TO MExIco.-It is
limited, in several papers, that Bishop Hughes,
OF This city, has had an interview with
the President ON the subject Of some kind Of a
mission TO Mexico, FOR the purpose of explaining
10 the Catholic clergy ofthat republic, the position
OF the Catholics in the United States, and the in
tention OF the American government not 10 inter-
fore with the religious rights doctrines OF the
Mexican people, III the proposed invasion.
We doubt the accuracy OF this information -
There may have been n conversation between
the President and some Of his cabinet and also
an interview with Bishop Hughes and some OF the
Catholic clergy, who attended the recent Catholic
Council IN Baltimore, There may be, also, cor
respondence between the Catholic hierarchy, in
tins country, and that of Mexico. Indeed, more
than year ago, we alluded TO the fact Of such
correspondence between the priests of both coun-
tries and il is probable that the breaking out of
ho3tilities may have caused this correspondence
10 be prosecuted with some activity. The Ameri-
can people have been much misrep esented in
Mexico by the military despots of that country,
aud the Yankee heretcs have been, no doubt,
held up as hostile, in every respect to the Catho-
lie faith. YET if the Catholic clergy knew the Sc
curity and comfort under which the Catholics live
IN this country, they would change their opinion
very soon Of the nature and temper of the Yankee
heretics.

The Press AND THE WAR.-The tone of the
newspaper press, in this latitude, on the Mexican
war, is peculiar and significant. With very few
exceptions, the people and the press seem to be
united on the energetic prosecution of the war,
and also III the belief that il is Just and neces-
sary war. There is, however, apparently small
amount ofopposition in the public mind, and that
amount is composed of two extremely minute
portions OF society. The first of these portions
that oppose the Mexican war, are the abotonists
and the abolition visionaries, very ridiculous
and Insignificant portion of the people. The other
consists Of the stock iobbers in Wall street, and
those connected with such stock-jebbing interests
as may be affected injuriously by the war.
With these exceptions, there seems 10 be gen.
eral unanimty in the great mass Of the people, OF
all classes, in supporting the government
