we COtUlIlcuu W tlle pei uoui VI icu-
eral editors, and to federal orators IN
and out Of Congress, the following dis
Greet remarks of the "Baltimore Clip.
per" of Monday morning. The course
which this independent journal has pur-
sued in regard to the Mexican war has
been throughout most patriotic one.
Its editorial upon this subject have moi
only brealhed Il spirit Of patriotism be-
coming an independent journal of the
Monumental CITY, but have been mark
ed for their justice, wisdom, and liber-
ality. II the editors OF this paper were
party men, working for the advance
ment of the federal cause, instead Of
their country's cause, they could not
have dictated wiser policy to save
their party from utter ruin, and from
the detestation of all true patriots, than
is set forth in this article:
'Our Country,rig or wrong.
"Although we may not be disposed
TO adopt this sentiment to the full ex-
tent, yet we hold that it Is the duty OF
every American citizen to support bis
country in time Of war with foreign
po wer, and to do no act which can en-
courage, aid, or assist the enemy. We
may believe that the war was unneces-
sarily or prematurely commenced, or
that an error in policy produced it; but
even such convictions, were they ever
SO just, would not justify Indifference
to the result of the war, much less the
contributing, even indirectly, to en-
courage the enemy to preserve in it.
Suppose that, in the case of the present
war with Mexico, the President had
committed an error in ordering the ar
my to the Rio Grande; the attack made
upon our troops by the Mexicans would
justify all subsequent proceedings
Where is the utility, then, in endeav-
oring to prove that our government
made an erroneous movement? lfthat
fact were established it would not in
duce the enemy 10 terminate the war.
Il might discourage our own people
from entering into the service of their
country, and thus protract hostiliiies,
but it could produce no beneficial eff
feet. We are not in favor of anv gag
law, or the restriction of free discus.
sion; but it strikes US that, during the
continuance of the war, it would be
more prudent and patriotic to sustain
than to abuse our rulers; for, If they had
committed errors for which they de-
serve to be condemned, a more appro-
pirate time than in the midst of war
with a foreign power can be selected
20 call them to account. Let US do
one thing al time. Our present busi-
ness is TO compel Mexico to grant us
an honorable peace, and TO obtain this
object, we must prosecute the wal
with vigor. Peace once obtained and
Justice done to our country and It's cit.
izens, the time will have arrived for
those who may think proper to call the
President 10 account for his conduct.
But we should not exhibit our dissatis.
faction 10 the common enemy.

THE CAsTrs AT VEaA CRUz.-An
Extra from the Norfolk Herald says
that stbe ordnance department at Fort
Monroe, under that accomplished Off
Ger, Capt. Benjamin Huger, are busily
engaged in preparing howitzer batte-
ries, bombs, rockets, &c to be sent TO
Mexico upon requisition Of Major
Gen. Scott, and that a company Of one
hundred men specially qualified for that
service are to go with them in charge
Of Capt. Huger, with Lieut.. Charles
p. Stone, Lieut.. Hagner from Wash
ington, and another officer whose name
we have not learned. They are ex-
pected TO be in readiness TO leave Fort
Monroe about the 1st Of January, di-
rect for Tampico. The inference (for
we know nothing certain as TO their
ultimate desiinaiion) is, that they will

the latter from this place, which will be
accompanied by the general command
ing. The troops composing the two
columns W III be some 10000 men. Sal.
tito isto be occupied by the 5th and
8th regiments Of infantry, Col. Dun
cans battery, and battalion of artiI-
lery, commanded by our gallant Gen.
eral Worth; his force will number
1900. A garrison of 1900, il is sup
posed, will be left in possession ofMon.
terey, under the command Of Major
General Butler. { = 80
10 meet these several movements,
the quarterniaster's department will
have to increase the wagon train, now
numbering 450, TO 1000, with all pos
sible despatch. A large portion ofthese
wagons, when on foot, will be employ
ed with the column under Major Gen.
Patterson; so at least, will be kept
on the road between Camargo and
Monterey. Some will be occupied in
transporting supplies from Monterey
to Saltillo. The residue win be with
the column to move from Monterey,
via Lamano. Besides these 900 wag-
ons TO be employed in the contemplate
ed movements of the army, large
train of pack mules will also be engag-
ed: 1000 are now ON the road from
Camargo, all laden with cargoes Of
500 lbs. each, for the army. Thismode
OF transportation, though not consider
ed as good as wagons, is much the
cheapest Of the two. i,a as
Major Graham, who came out as a
government messenger, left camp on
the 9Th instant, with small escort of
dragons, for Saltillo. ss-,e
Major Gen. Butler rode out to camp
on the 7th instant, and called on the
commanding general for the first time
since he received his wound.
Major Mansfield, of the engineer
corps, who received a wound on the
first day Of the assault on Monterey, is
becoming quite active again. He rides
his gallant charger with the same fear
lessness that has always characterized
him heretofore. The major is one Of
the very few officers to be found in our
army who puts correct value -rcn nrcn
life; he lives not for this world alone,
but in view of another and better one
beyond the grave. n a..aaL a'u..
The commanding general has placed
his veto upon all gambling amongst the
troops. Large parties could be seen
at all hours Of the day, before his order
came out, busily engaged at this bnsi-
ness. The inspector general received
orders to disperse all such assemblages;
and in case he got possession of any
money of this kind, to consider it as
confiscated, and turn il over 10 the med
ical director. who would apply it to the
use of the sick. in purchasing necessa-
ries for them. Good. G., w. NJ.

1t was generally believed, when J
last wrote, that the order for the move
ment ofGeneral Wor;h's division of the
army upon Saltillo had been counter
manded. The arrival here this even

left thence on the l4th instant-gives
Us the information that the division had
moved forward, accompanied by Gen.
Taylor, and expected to reach Saltillo
on the 18th having left Monterey on
the 18th. The division is composed of
the 5th and 9th United States infantry,
Colonel Child's battalion oil artillery,
acting as infantry, and Lieut.. Colonel
Duncan's battery of field artillery. and
a squadron of dragoons, under Lieut..
Col. May. No opposition was ex-
pected to be met with, either on the
route or at SaliilIo, as the Mexican au.

with the commanding general, and, it
is supposed, made terms for its peacea-

Col. Gates, with commendable promp-

has ordered all the disposable troops

place IN conjunction with the force that
can be spared from the fleet. No

approved, as it cannot but be in an

House are the rsprssen,stivss Of the peepls,

House are the representatives Of the people,
chosen by the people to carry out heir views:
the Senate was designed by the trainers of the
government, among other wise purposes, TO
check the too rash progress OF the popular branch
OF the legislature. l can conceive instructions
as being both just and proper as regards men,
Der of the Hsus. of Representatives. But think
that Senator OF the United States is not only
justified bur bound to disregard all views, feel
ings, and courses, save those which to his own
Judgment, after manure reflection and delibera-
ton, may seem most beneficial to the interests of
the whole country.
After the President of the Senate had assigned
his motives Tor voting Tor the bill at the same time
that he declared several of its features were high
ly obnoxious u him. Nj, John M Clayton under
took 10 take Mr. Dallas to task for thus voting;
and 10 prove 10 him that the principles Of the new
tariff b n nor those on which he (Mr. Dalias)
was elected ce President Of the United States.
This, at period when ali debate on the merits
Of he bill had ceased, was in extremely bad taste;
and regretted TO see Mr. Clayton so much under
the Influence of his feeling as to make an attack
on the President of the Senate, which he knew
u was out of that gen,leman's power to reply to.
Mr. Clayton desisted, after being very properly ex-
PostulAted with by several wing Senators This was
The only unpleasant feature in the debate of to-
day-a debate which was marked throughout
with the greatest decorum, 70, bearance and good
humor, with the single exception have men
toned
The measure has received but the partial and
almost negative support of the leading democ ratio
Senators. l knew that The views of some of he
prominent democratic Senators, are decidedly
hostile TO some OF the most important features Of
the new bill. II has some good features, however,
and the dd ralorem principle is doubtless the best
in theory. But very much question whether the
new measure will be found to answer the purpo-
ses contemplated at all events, before the terIni-
nation OF the present Presidential term
This all.ab orbing question has engrossed my
attention, aud indeed that of the whole city, 10

and consequently the administration are deter

As fast as the nature ofth country and the con-

General Taylor will penetrate into the interior.

would not be one serious hesitation about it.
The most active preparations have been some
time going forward, and you may soon expect to
hear of a vigorous blow being struck, and an end
put In the war.
The vi KS lay the blame of the success Of the
tarf bill on Mr. John NJ Clayton In speaking
on his amendments to the bull he said thar they
were intended for nohiDg else than To obsrruct
the passage of the bill. This corner Nr. Jar

BM-1he Doctrine of Ensfruct,ons-Mr John
M Clayton and the Presidert of the Senate
The Partial Support of the Bill by leading De-
noeratie Senators-7he Doubtful Success of the

In my letter OF yesterday l notified you of the
commitment of the tariff bill back to the com =
mittee on finance, with instructions, sc. Every
body supposed the bill was dead but before you
receive this letter the telegraph will have advised
you that the bill has passed the Senate by the
casting vote of the Vice President.
Mr.. Lewis, chairman of the committee on
finance, moved this morning to disc barge the
committee fiom the further consideration of the
bill. This of course was the test question:; and
on this, contrary to general expectation. Mr.. Jar
nagin voted IN the affirmative declaring that he
acted contrary to his own views and thar he was
constrained TO vote as he did, in consequence of
receiving the instructions of his Legislature IN
support the measure. This, OF course decided
the fate OF the bill; and after several ineffectuai
attempts to defeat II by motions to postpone and
to amend by Mr.. Niles, Mr. Cameron and otber s
the vote was taken on It's final passage, and re.
suited in tie, Mr.. flanagan not voting. The
President OF the Senate, with q great deal of dig
nifty ind feeling, declared his reasons tor taking
the course he did, and voted in the affirm alive {;
and so the bill passed, with but one amend ment,
namely, the striking out OF the 9th section.
Mr.. Crittenden, Mr.. Mangum, and some other
wing senators, were inclined to let the bill pass
without amendment; as Mr. Crttenden wituly
remarked yesterday, to Let it 60 before the
judgment seat OF the people
'--unauointed, unannealed,
With ali its i'm projections on its head"
Their object in this course was to throw all the
odium of the bill on its movers and supporters
and with this view they did net desire to have
any OF its features remodeled or revised On
the other hand, Mr.. Webster, Mr.. John M Clay
ton, Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, and others, proposed
anendmea after amendment, not with design
20 revise the bill, but to obsuuct and ultimately
to defeat Its final passage. For thus their mea-
sures were taken with great skill and forethought,
ana would nave been successful but for Mr.. Jar
naglns adhesion to the doctrine of instruction.

The House has decidedly an advantage over the
Senate in one respect at least, if in no other--a
means to prevent as well as preclude debate, by
the previous question. Hence the tariff bill was
definitely disposed of in two hours and a half after
it was returned. There was hard voting all this
time, it is true. majority of twenty-five on
concurring in the amendment to strike out the
ninth section, which Mr.. Webster treated as an
invitation or encouragement to the fraudulent inn
porter; three more than the majority by which
the bill passed. There was much excitement,
but no unpleasant feelings were exhibited. The
majority deported themselves in all the dignity of
conscious triumph; and the minority, like men.
submred to the superior force. Several members
despatched the news by telegraph 10 intermediate
places between Washington and New York
