Mexican War.

The London Times Of the 9th ult, thus
concludes an article on the war
THAT General Scott has been endeavoring
to invest himself with such pacifcatory and
harmonizing attractions, and that the ravager
of Vera Cruz would fain be received as the
d~eliverer OF Mexico, is clear enough from all
that we have heard by way of the United
States. But there is little room here for the
operation of such addresses. There is no
great oppressed or discontinued part-no disaf-
fected population driven to war by a despot-
ic Government. The Mexicans are as free
as anarchy can make them, they change their
rulers at their will, nor can the most seduc-
tive appeal of the invader offer them any in
crease of political power. The war, such as
it is, is emphaticaIly a popular war. 1t was
not excited by priests nor dictated by the
President. The Mexicans hate the Ameri-
cans clearly and intuitively enough, though
they cannot resist them. They defy their ad-
dresses, though not their arms. They will
not fight, but all the powers Of the continent
cannot make them shake hands. And thus,
when a scared or subservient Congress may
have signed a compulsory compact, there
will still be the obstinlcy and opposition of
an entire people to reconcile or overcome"
WEST INDIA EMANCIPATION Saturday
last was the Anniversary OF the successful
experiment in Jamaica, Barbados, and the
other West India Islands of Britain, gradu-
ally to raise the African race 10 the level OF
fIeemen, teaching them meanwhile how best
to fulfil the new duties that would devolve on
their novel rank, so that they might become
happier and better than when held in igno-
rance and degraded as chattel slaves. Edu'
cation has already made them more moral,
more pious /; more industrious, in many cases,
and infinitely more useful members Of socie'
ty. The local Governments have no desire
to eXpatriate them-on the contrary, they pur
chase plots of ground, build farming villages
cultivate their lands carefully, hire out thei
services to the nearest planters when wanted
enjoy equal political privileges with TIT
whites, and are daily proving ihemselve
more and more worthy Of their rights. Mel

or Though the Democrats made this war.
the Wings do all the greatest fighting and
rhyming. For example, John II. Willard,
formerly editor of the Manchester American,
has written a ''Song Of the New England
Regiment" which has rather the smooihest
and ~prettiest flow Of all the war-poe,ry we
have seen. The sentiment is quite another
affair. 1t starts oil thus
Oh, bold and free DER the bounding sea,
Take we our gladstone way,
To spread our glorious banner out,
Ard mingle in the fray ;
At beat Of drum, we come, we come,
Armed men and p~rancing stecJ,
And oh. wen bear tho stripes and stars
Where Pierce and Ransom lead.
Chorus-And oh, &c.
Though it may be such q beautiful thing to
90 into the "fray." we fancy that those who
come out will find the effects like those Of all
other trays. and will then, if they sing. sing
another sort Of a song, beginning something
like this
Oh, lean and lank, with a single shank,
The soldier limps away;
Tor grub and grog not fit for a hog,
To spend his little pay;
To die a soi, and be forgot
By men that reap the spoils,
While Pierce and Rlnsom take the stars,
: lie takes the stripes and tolls.
