Some papers have expressed surprise that the
Union has not made mention of the fate of our
overtures to Mexico. 1t is no matter of surprise
to us. That paper is never trusted by the admin

and one might with as much success look for OFF,

IRENE limits of Wisconsin, as expect to find it in

The Washington Correspondent OF the New York Jour
nal OF Commerce, whose knowledge Of the designs Of the
Administration seems to be generally more accurate
than that Of the Executive Osgan, prepares us, ina late .ei-
ter, 10 expect 4 repetition Of the Oregon game on tie
Mexican question. He says, for example:
"But / repeat that Congress must b. held rCsp0HTJie for
tie Continuance Of The tssT, and Tor he oyeeis OF tie rdr.

him. as the Senate did, ATS last session, promptly to aban-
don them. And we have no doubt he will as cheeriLIy
follow their advice now as he did then. He Is obliged, o.
course, TO " talk big" IN order to preserve his consistency;
hut he is more anxious to get out Of the war than he was
to ge, into it-and wal. gladly avail himself OF any means

unadvisedly, from al erroneous idea Of the ease with which
