GOES IT BLIND.-Mr Wick, member of
Congress from this State, belongs TO that class
of politicians, (says the Cincinnati Chronicle)
which follows the President, right or wrong.
He prides himself in "going it blind" No
matter what may be his notions in regard to
particular me assure, .if The President recon.
mend it, he votes for it. In his speech in
The House of Representatives, few days
since, Mr. Wentworth took occasion to re-
fer 10 the course of Mr.. Wick on the River
and Harbor Bill, who voted for the bill until
the President had vetoed it, and then voted
with the President against it! In his reply
Mr.. Wick said, he acknowledged he did vote
for The bill before the veto, and against il f.
forwards, and he did SO because he had not
sufficiently examined the bill before he voted.
SWeutwor,h asked him if the bill was no,
considered section by section, and the yeas
and nays taken on each secfion?

case, but still he dida't know what he was
voting for!n ....s s.

MR.' CALuoUN.-This gentleman has at
last defined bis position upon The war. in a
speech which is said TO have been well re-
ceived by the Wings. The abstract of his
speech which we give today is brief but
highly interesting. He takes strong grounds
against a continuance of the war in any ag.
gressve form, and his ability and influence
renders his position matter ofimportanc

Mr.. Calhoun in such manner that there

subject ssffi .sfts 2 ass ~9
The Baltimore American very justly re-
marks, thai the Chief reason why the policy
recommended by the distinguished South
Carolina Senator is regarded by many as
the preferable policy arises from The ineffec-
tive manner in which the war ofinvasion is
prosecuted, and from lhe reluctant, hesitat-
ing, and irresolute style in which Congress
and the President deport themselves in refer
ence 10, the war and the measures requisite
10 its prosecution. ea tspa s s. .f
We agree with the Louisville Journal, that
almost any sort of definite policy is better
than the present vague and indecisye sys-
TENT system il can be called where there
is no system. 1t would appear as though
stupidity itself had brought all its faculties
of laundering into exercise for the purpose
of concentrating difficulties and foffeiting OPP
portunties in the management of the Mexi-
can gar. The whole season in which oper
atoms in Mexico are practicable is passing
