FROM THE losDos ,ouasAL OF COMMERCE.


Should the United States prove successful in q
war with Mexico, it will increase the embarrass-
mens on the Oregon question it will exalt the
pride and raise the pretensons of our transatlantic
brethren; they will, perhaps, be apt forget that
Mexico and Great Britain are two very different
countries to contend against, aud false pride and
vanity may conduct them to dilemma they will
not easily escape. But our desire is to see AMIGA
bic relations maintained between the two countries
the happiness and prosperity of both require il it
is certainly, not in favor Of the preensons of the
United States that it should find itself engaged in
even with Mexico--a war, certainly, pro-
voked by its own ambtion-at the very moment
that it is gratuitously seeking TO quarrel with this
country. Enough has already been said and done,
or if not done, threatened, the other side Of the
Atlantic, to have induced war between the two
countries had it not been for the wise forbearance
which our Government has exh bited. England
is placid because her strength permits her to nc so
but it is a strength which 1t would he dangerous TO
provoke too far. One thing is certain, that both
France and England must put reto on the further
progress of American conquest and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
and annexation. The United States has shown the
cloven foot has shown the ambitious projects by
which it is impelled hence it must be taught the
ne plus ultra of its power and dominion.

that the charges both of private and public cha

return to that mutual sentiment of confidence and

ZEN. TAYLOR, whose mastery conduct on the
lilo Grande has called forth much admiration
and applause, is thus spoken of by the Louisville
Journal:
"General Taylor was reared in this immediate
neghbOrhood, which he has frequently visited since
he joined the army, and deserves all and more than
all the praise bestowed upon him. He is eminent
~ man OF action, business, and energy. He was
bred IN the days of plain living and high thinking
IN Kentucky. He is man of few words no pomp,
no buster, no pretension In his vocabulary there
is no word impossible" and things that other men
would not imagine he executes speaking of them
IN his official reports in such brief, simple and
business-like manner that one would suppose them
no more than the commonest occurrences of his
everyday life He Is precisely the man for the po-
sition he occupies. His energies and resources will
rise with and be equal to every emergency"
Zen. Taylor seems to possess of those ster-
ling substantial characters which, without precocity
go on in gradual developments from a germ of deep
central resources. 1t is known Of BURKE that his
latest writings showed most not only of intellect but
OF the splendor and fire Of imagination, forming a
striking contrast with the comparatively tame pro-
auctions OF his earlier days. He seemed to grow
towards youth as he approached the termination of

the service with reputation for hardihood and pa
tlent bravery, blazes forth, when occasion comes,

his first laurels, combined with the cool decision and
tore thought and prompt energy of a commanding
military genius. ''Old Rough and Ready is the
aappellation given him by the soldiers. The enemy
found him TO be both.

seat of war will bring Gen. TAYLoR's Official ac-
