The true Glory of the Nation.

The plan of Mr.. Clay, that Congress should
determine the subjects for which 1t would be
right for the country to fight longer in this war,
and then direct that the war should no longer be
carried on except for these right Objects Is de-
nounced as humiliating and inglorious. How can
this be? How can it be inglorious, how can ii
be other or less than most glorious, for country
so powerful as outs, in the midst Of war with a
weak, defeated and scattered foe, to stop short
in her career of extraordinary victory to consid-
or carefully whether in the heat of the quarrel
she has not transgressed her enemy's rights, and,
II so, to Withdraw magnanlmously her armies
from all territories not hers by strict Justice, and
generously to restore to her defeated foe all tina,
honestly belongs to her?
BY such course we should crown our coun-
try with two-fold honor--irst, that military re-
nown, so bravely won at Monterey and Buena
Vista, at Corro Gordo, Che.ubusco, Chapultepec
and Mexico; and, secondly, the rarer, and in
deed the unexamped glory of raising up fallen
foe, doing her exact justice, and restoring to her
all her rights. That would be glory which no
other nation ever won. That would be an exhi-
bitlon OF magnanimiiy, Of consciousness of
strength, of lofty self-respect, of the highest
chivalry, OF the most perfect freedom from sci.
fishness Of devotion to the rights Of men, wheth-
er friends foes, of true republicanlsn, of true
christianity, that would at once elevate our 70.
publican institutions and our country's history
far above all comparison with the blood stained
annals of war and conquest, which make up the
renown Of all other nations.
Why should the passions which disgrace a
man ennoble nation? To pursue his quarrel,
right or wrong, against weak neighbor, and 10
carry on his violence till that neighbor is utterly
destroyed, makes man Infamous, Why should
1t make nation glorious?
we would have our country superior in all true
virtue and all true glory TO every other country
upon earth. We would have her the admiration

Eds. Deta-The latest advlces from the city
of Mexico are to the 9Th ult. Tho Mexican
government had appointed Peace Commissioners,
their proposals and bear them to his government
he, having been recalled, is left without the
power to negotiate.
Another train is on its way down 10 This city,
escorted by the LIST Rec ment Of Artillery. Gov.
Wilson is soon 10 be recalled. His administra-
ton has been failure, and the fact of his being
superseded will be hailed with great Joy. The
Mexcans regret his recall.
The British Minister left yesterday for the city
with an American escort He will be puzzled to
find the Mexican Government to which he is &C.
credited.
A lamentable feeling pervadcs the army at Mex
leo, owing to leIlousles and heart burnings, envy
and malice, and political prejudices. Gen Scott
has arrested Pillow and Worth The circunstan
ces which led TO this step are believed TO be
these: Two letters enanatlng from the Amerl-
can c mp, published in the United States, haye
been read by Gen. Scott In an order published
10 the army, he prematurely decides who wrote
them, and most bunglingly impeached the honor
patriotism, and services of the two Generals
Pillow denies, in a card published in Mexico
the authorship Of the letter attributed TO his pen
by Gen. Scott. The other General WORTH pre-
fcrs charges against Scott, and Scott arrests him
for contempt. Gen. Pillow was arrested because
he appealed from an opinion Of Scot, requesting
the latter to transmit the appeal TO the Secretary
fWar Scott refused in Il hdSty manner where
upon the former insisted, "Thcn | arrest yor
sir" was SCOTS reply. So matters stand at las
dates.
The army is excited, and if we may judge
from what we hear at this distance, more than
moiety of it synpathzes with the Generals
sought 10 be disgraced. 1t is said that on visi
to the theatre by Gen. Pillow, all audience of o
yer 1000 being present, he received three heart.
cheers, Immediately after which the audenc,
gave three more for General Worth. This look
as though these Generals were not disgraced il
the eyes of the arniy-that same glorious army
that has earned for itself the name of " invinci
ble."-[ N. o. Delta, Dec. IA.
