The WAR WITH MExIco.-CAange in
the policy Of the Vigorous More
naeRtS reSOtUed upon. We are led to hope
by recent advIces from Washington, that
the Administration have resolved upon a
vigorous prosecution of the war with Mex
leo than has heretofore marked its policy ;
IN word, that it is-at-lengtti determined
to abandon the idea of conciliating, by wa
ging Pseudo-phiIanthrcpic war upon a
people incapable of approaching our
friendly disposition towards them, whilst
our armies have been making war their
tyrants. We are glad of this. We have
heretofore inlimaIed that this policy would
have to be changed, and that peace would
not be obtained with Mexico until that
misguided people, by feeling the horrors
of a war of invasion, would cry out in the
bitterness of their suferings, for cessa.

Negotiation with Mexico.

We are aOle to put an end. in a more
explicit manner than we have hitherto
been able to do, to all mystery and doubt
about the dispatches by the Princeton
The proceeding paragraph gives the true
version OF the transaction, the precise
form of the correspondence which has ia :
ken place between the two republics, we
presume, will be made known at no dis.
tant day. The gist of the matter is. that
the Mexican government has not posi-
lively declined our overiure-nor has she
accepledit on conditions she has neither
refused nor accepted it; but has referred
our proposition TO the constituent Congress
of December to decide The whole question.
We are unable TO say how far Santa
Anna participated in this answer. We
understand this reply was tranmsitled bv
General Rejon, the secretary of Eorelgn
affairs, and that only four days elapsed be-
tweer the receipt of the letter of our Sec
relary of State and the reply, of the Mex.
lean minister. But though Santa Anna
might not have been consulted about The

We had right TO expect frank and

proposition tor negotiation. But the. ac-

without The advice and concurrence of the
Congress of December Thus three
months will elapse between their letter
and the meeting of Congress. How long
they may spin Out Their decisions, before

man can conjecture. Anothermonth per

not have four months consumed in idle

GETTING IN EARNEsT.-The Washing
ton Union of the I'd, makes the important
announcement that hereafter contributions
are to be levied on the Mexican people
for the support of our invading army.
This is right; and to our humble view, ii
is what should have been the policy from
the beginning. If we are TO have war, lei
it be war, biting, bitter terrible; and there
fore short. We should have known from
the first that a blow and kiss, kiss ard
blow, was no way of getting Mexico to
terms. Paying them such eXhorbitant
prices as heretofore, for every thing our
army has obtained from them, we have
really made it the interest of the Mexican
people that the war should be protracted;
we have given them reason TO regard 1t
blessing that it ever commenced. This
must he changed. Let them feel that the
American nation, when she flies her ca
giles 10 the fight, will make her vengeance
no childs play, but dreadful scourge,
from which they may pray TO be deliver
ed. Let them learn what it is TO provoke
war with a power second to none, and
hen ject overtures Of peace.
There is now truly nothing in the way
of vigorous prosecution of the var
The army is now in a territory rich enough
to support and feed it; and Mexico and
her infatuated people must henceforth bear
their due proportion Of the cost of the war
they have SO often and SO deliberately cEo-
sen, rather than offered peace.
The Union says, at the close of an ar.
ucIe announcing the above policy:
GAS soon as the diatory answer from
Mexico was received by the government,
there is no doubt that the policy here in
dicated was adopted. The private pro-
perry of the Mexican people will Be reli-
giousIy respected, except what may be me-
cessary for the support Of our army
Their persons and property with this ex-
cePtion, will be sacredIy protected. Their
religion and their affairs will be respected
as truly as if they were Americans in the
bosom of our own country.

that can learn about the Mississippi Re

made their way into the very heart of the
