THE BLACK FLAG!

For three days past the country has known itself
to be at rar by deliberate invasion Of its soil, and
by the slaughter Of its soldiers in their position Of
defence For three days, the National Intelligent
Ger" has been utterng, in its party character, its
views upon this state of things. 1t is test case be-
fore the country, if there one. That jour
nal has met the issue, and elected its position The
similarity between the articles of the Intellgencer
and the language of some distinguished wing leaders
in the Senate, is remarkable to leave shadow
of doubt that this is a party demonstration, con.
certed between the organ of the wings, and few Of
the wing champions at Washington. We have not
the slightest doubt that the masses ofthe whig
party will sterny rebuke this movement, and frown
it down. Measuraby this has been done already.
The noble action Of the House proves it. The
ton ofthe Senate, on the whole, goes far to prove
il.
But duty as public journalists demands that
should brand the of the Intelgencer it de-
serves-however it may have had the sanction Of a
few great party We shall state the leading
positions of the Integencer with the utmost possible
accuracy, and comment upon them with freedom

duty, the fault will not be ours, nor will such q
result, perhaps, surprise all our readers. 1t will,
however, we confess, under all the circumstances,
be disgusting and in far as it goes dsheartening
to ourselves. We had hoped better things, even
of the Intelligencer
Be it remembered then, FIRST, that we are, by the
unanimous affirmation of all the departments of our
government, al Wih .Merico and, secondly, that
the official documentary statement of the facts
which have led to the war, and compelled it, and
justified it on our par-the case, that is, of our gov
srnment-has not yet, for Oant Of time alone, been
made fully known to the country Right or wrong,
then, the judgment of the Integencer is prejudg-
uteni against its own country, invaded and at war
What is that Judgment Since Monday morning
last, and up to this time, the Integencer has main
tanned that the administration, and not Mexico, is
responsible for the disaster which has befallon, or
may befall, the army of General Taylor; that 1.-THE
shedding of American blood on American soil" is a
''narrow and untenable ground" for the inerpOston
of Congress; that the Nueces and not the Del Nore,

For the | MON.

For the MON.
Mr.. EDITOR Permit me to offer a word or
two in defence of the magnetic telegraph from the
reflections and Misrepresentation of your CORE
spondent "Morgan," in his letter from New York
of May 9, published in the Union Of Wednesday
night.
He complains of the "eXaggeratlonsh Of the tele
graph in the Mexican news transmitted from Phila.
delphia to New York, if the telegraph were in
fault. A moments thought would have shown him
how unjust and unreasonable are his reflections
The telegraph is, like the mail available TO any one
who chooses TO use it. 1t sends what is brought
without vouchng for its TRUTH any more than the
mail vouches for the truth of all that it carries. The
dongs of Congress are daily sent to certain Balti.
more and Philadelphia papers through the govern
ment telegraph by the reporters for those papers.
presume your correspondent will perceive the absur
dity of holding the government or the superintendent
of the telegraph, responsible for the tone of these
reports or for the opinions of the reporters. II
fasehood is transmitted by mail, it reflects on him
who mails it, not on the instrument of transmission.
Surely your correspondent has more sense than to
suppose the operators propretors the telegraph
inqusltion to investigate the character of the
correspondence that passes between citizen
body of citizens and another.
II stock jobbng falsehoods sent by mail, is ii
in the power Of the Postmaster General to prevent
the evil?
But a more conclusive answer to all he insinuates
against the impartlaty Of the telegraph is the fact
which he seems entirely to have overlooked, that
exaggeration or Misrepresentation need exist, 1t
is in the power of any one who doubts the truth of
news received by telegraph, to ascertain from any
friend either in Philadelphia or New York, in a few
minutes, by the telegraph itself, if it be without
foundation. Twenty minutes, indeed, need not pass
without a satisfactory correction
With great respect sir,
Your obedient servant,

CONGRESSIONAL.

After the transaction Of the morning business, a
debate sprung up in the Senate somewhat unexpect-
eddy on bill providing for the repeal of so much
of the act of 1890 limiting the period of service OF
dlsbursing officers to four years. as applied to pay
masters in the army. This debate, in which Messrs.
Calhoun, Webster, Allen, Sewer, and others par.
ucPaed, related chiefly to the general subject of re-
movals from Office by the Executive. The principle
discussed is one OF obvious importance, and we
give full report of the very animated and able de-
bate. Pending the debate, the Senate adjourned
about half-Past o'clock, without passing upon the
bill
The House was engaged the whole day IN debate
in Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, on the bill making appropriations for the
support of the army.
