Very well Mr. Morning News-now we will
without, intending to insnua,e doubt about II; put
your sincerity and your independence TO the test
1t may be that you have been Sufficiently instructed
of your mistake by theway The Union skipped over
your paragraph but if not you are hereby respect
fully and distinctly informed that the President him
self clearly and explicitly some weeks since, stated
10 gentleman of the highest responsibility, that 1t
was the fixed determination Of the Government 10
Take and TO hold permanently New Mexico, Chihu-
ahua and California, and TO annex them ultimately
to the United States If you doubt 1t, ask the Fol
Tor of The Union TO get leave from the President 10
nav tina, he has not said 30 but do nj let him bubble
upon words If the President, denies il substantial
", the name of the gentleman can be given 10 whom
he made the observation.
The fact is that il isl war Of conquest orouShf
about for the sake OF conquest II was for this that
Mr. Sdell was sen, as full Minister and not as q
Commissioner to treat exclusively, in the FIRST In
stance, of the question Of boundary 1t was for
conquest that Gen Taylor was ordered, without let
ting it be known to Congress- TO move upon the hio
Grande. Every man OF common sense knew II was
the kindling spark of Wars War which Mr.
Polk knew Congress would not declare.
Now, then he thinks he can conquer all Northern
Mexico for the President, and by the distribution OF
ten millions OF dollars procure himself TO be renom
mated for the Presidency. by which he may add
81 900 more to the 100000 which, by all accounts
he will save GU, Of his 500 900 which he is TO get
for Il re frs, four years.
How many nests nre in The way OF being well
fea,here by this war How much will Secretary
Marcy's son make for his share of the California
plumber!
But to the Presidents intentions. You may shut
yoar eyes TO the proofs of intention to conquer and
10 hold, bu, the President will not deny that he
ayowed OF, that such was the design
of the Admnist- ation.
To conquer al d hold-mind, that's the word
Don't let them pl ay upon words go for the sub
stance and You will be satisfied that they are going
for what you say if they should they 'o0siS be
looked upon as The ,co, 1 traitors striking at the
life of their country an laying the foundation for
its speedy and certain ruin And for once we
heartily agree with you in opinion. Please Mr.
News, make the inquiry op enly and frankly through
your paper, and as frankly si your readers know
the result and your own de, examination thereuPon
Kinks ORGAN ScHooL-F our numbers OF this
great Educational Work the Organ are now published
by Messrs Firth, Hall Pond in the same style OF per-
spcuous elegance which so marked the III number OF
this well all their publications To all who know
anything OF the history Of the Organ or who have any
practical knowledge OF Music Il is unnecessary to say

pete system OF practical instruction for that greatest o.
all instruments published and that never until now
