their funds in profitable United States stock, whilst Santa
Anna raises the wind by oan but by seizng mil

This argument, that during state of war one
must not communicate information or express his
thoughts lest the enemy should overhear, is the
trick Of petty yrans and demagogue despots all the
world over. But the government editor would have
us be both deaf and dumb. We must not only not
express any opinion of our own, but we must mol
hear at least not for the purpose Of repeating for
the information of our readers, what the Admins
tration itself says. When has this paper ever un-
dertaken "to point out the part at which it is our
purpose TO strike - Never. We defy the produc-
hon Of single case in which this paper has done
any such thing, except upon the express authority
/. OF the government paper. Have zoe ever directed
the public attention to particular objects to be aim
ed al by our forces under Gen. TAYLOR, and TO the
termination of the armistice for the purpose Of eff
fectng them? II is the government organ itself
which has given " the necessary cue'' TO the Diaro
of Mexico and TO all the world, which this journal
has done no more than copy. Witness the follow
ing, cited by us few days ago, and which we again
quote from the Union OF the l4th of last month
"The papers have been Specializing upon an ex-
petition to Iampico. ne see no good reason
iohy IL should not be undertaken. We have still
ma at least 10000 troops in the army of the Rio
I NGrande. Allowing Gen. Taylors camp al Mon
4, terey to have one-half Of thom, we have abou
10000 more in that wing Of the army to furnish
q troops sufficient for new expedition, besides
guarding the points we occupy on the river, and
tQ. maintaining the connexion between our different
j, depots." q We hope, by the time that the arms
tice would have expired of itself, shall see GU,
Z triumphant flag flying at Chihuahua, al Saiiilo
Il. and, il the newspaper speculations are 10 be be-
i lieyed perhaps at pittoria, (the capital of Tamau
lipas,) and at Iampico.'
Surely this, if any thing, "points out the part a
which il ia our purpose to strike;' and the chargt
z aimed at this paper rebounds in the face Of the
I. accuser. ~ l9a. .e s.r' 9 ,at.
With respect to the charge Of "discouraging the
loan" we deny the impeachment and challenge t.
the proof We have, on the contrary, done wha
was proper in us to encourage it. We said, wher
the loan" was first advertised for, that there was
"no doubt that II would be readily taken by oul
capitalists and we have held no other language
since. As to SANTA ANNA's possessing himself Of
the conducta of two millions of dollars, il is very
certain that we had no hand in granting him the
passport by which he has been placed in position
to enable him to perform that feat ;awbich is all we
haveto say on that "Point'' for the present,
