The Policy OF the Wing Party.


The Cincinnati Atlas, which speaks, we suppose, the
views OF the friends of MIR Corwin, the Ohio SENATOR
and expectant OF yet higher political honos has the
following declaration of the wing policy in regard the
war:
The whig party of all sections the Union are hamo-
nionsy and unanimously agreed upon the great issue which
and that is the most nyeding opposition the dismem
bemen of the Mexican republic for the purpose of
ground the design OF the Executive in prosecuting the
further will be blasted, and all obstacles viii be removed
able peace The wings of the last Congress UNANIMOUSLY
took ground ON this principle 1t is almost certain that the
wings viii be decidedly dominant in the House of Repre-
senatives in the next Congress and il ought be
doubted that they will distinctly and promptly rearm the
same position; thus IN effect qualifying and limiting the
objects OF future appropriations"
If this be true statement of the wing policy in regard
to the termination of the il wing is hereafter to
be known by being adverse 10 the acquisition OF any new
territory In any peace which we may negotiate with Mex
lco, their party Is very small indeed There are we
think very few persons in the country who look upon
any termination OF the war reasonable probable,
which does not include the cesson of part of north
em Mexico. There will be no other method of obtain
ing from that impoverished and exhausted country the in
demnty due for depredations commerce. We
might forgive her the expenses OF the considerable
as they are we might agree TO regard them part OF
the price paid for the hasty of Texas before
its people had composed their differences with the
try from which they separated but when we make a
peace with Mexico should take care to place 1t upon
a solid basis.
The old quarrel concerning the robberies she has
mied upon merchants and the indemnity due TO them
in consequence, should be adjusted We should leave
cause which may keep alive enmty and jealousy be,
tween the two understanding which may possibly breed
contentious; but endeavor to arrange all questions
Of difference, TO make the mutual good understanding
as perfect and lasting possible.
This will not be done if government patches up
peace without making provision for the payment of what
is due to citizens from Mexico Mexico has other
way of making compensation but by cesson of territory
We might take her promise, but treaty including such
promise woud be fraud its very face, for it is prom
Use which would be certain not to be fulfilled, and
would draw after it perpetual wrangng and discomfort
between the two nations.
The danger of quarrel between the north and south,
on the slavery question, has been urged by some as an
argument against the addition of any territory TO onr
reaapd to the organzaton of the tepdrv Of A
few thousand square miles, lesssn California or
New Mexico will not change the principle Of this contro-
be settled, and doubtless will be, one and the same
time, for both Oregon and the territory obtained from
Mexico.

America Prisoners.

The following letter from Col Marshall was enclosed
TO from Vicksburg, and received only yesterday 1t
gives the particulars of the negotiation for an exchange
of prisoners after the battle of Buena Vista, and exhibits
in conspicuous light the gross perdy of the Mexican
government in OBTAINING the Encarnacon and other prs
oners taken previous II that battle. Col MarshaFs
suggestion of realiatOry is just and proper
though we doubt if such will be enforced, unless govern
ment gives instructions to that effect:
New ORLEANS, June I, 1917
To the Editors Of the Pieaytae
have been requested what know touching the
exchange of prisoners between the Mexican chief and the
American general after the battle OF Buena VISTA nasmnch

Immediately released and would be shipped from the
convenient Mexican port, without delay, for the United
States Under the force OF this pledge adutant general
large number OF Mexican soldiers returned the Meriean
camp and cee as men released and rhanged for received
by the Mexican general Capt Faulaco the secretary
OF Gen. Santa Anna, and came our camp with such
vouchers as enabled general to regard his authority

belonging to his army, who under the negotiation with
auaco had been released by Gen Taylor that Gen Santa
Anna fully ratified Faulacos acts, and assumed carry

From Matngorda.

The schooner Victoria, Captain Coates, arrived on
Sunday from Matagorda bay, and Captain G. has po-
tely favored with Matagorda and Victoria papers to
the Sd inst
The "Victoria Advocate" of the Sd says.
"Coonel Hays and his regiment have returned to San
Antonio, where they will be disbanded He had gone but
few miles west of the Nueces when he dispatches
from General Taylor. informing him that his regiment could
not be received"
This must be an error, we received accounts some
time since that Colonel Hays encanped with his
regiment at Pao Alto, and would shortly march to join
General Taylor. 1t is probable that il is the regiment
raised under Colonel Curtss requisltion, made when
communications cut off between General Taylor and
Camargo, that has been ordered back.
