The Courier has been very properly requested by some
gentlemen of the city, to call public meeting of
fellow citizens, n order to take into consideration the
that the people of New Orleans are ready as
they always have been to prosecute the war with their
persons, and, if necessary, with their money" In com

We highly approve OF the suggestion and the object
contemplated by the call, though we fear the notice is
too brief 1t will, however, answer for preliminary

| The Philadelphia North American does not go quite

almost equally wild, base, and unfounded 1t dares to

obligations of treaties all the promptings of national
honor" Is il necessary TO refute this audacous and
malignant assertion! 1t is utterly gratuous and false
destitute of all evidence, well of all probability
We understand that no bargain made But this
fabulous author refers to the Presidents message for
proof OF bargain Now the message says not sylla-

any understanding between them, but il only ex-
plains the grounds of the policy which induced the
President to permit Santa Anna to return to Mex

cep furious opposition to the annexation of Texas,
and war This is clear enough for the reasons which
the President gives And he also gives his for
believing that Santa Anna would see his manifest inter-
est 'no to persevee in the prosecution of

as the reconquest of Texas to the Sabine" If Santa
Anna is not profound or bold a statesman as was
supposedly circumstances do not permit him to with
draw, not only from the Sabine, but from the Nueces to

the man, or the circumstances in which he might be
placed But to suppose that there was any bargain in the

supposton that the three millions OF dollars to be
thrown in bride to Santa Anna, and as the condition

Liberal In word, every supposton which is founded
upon the idea of bargain, is ridiculous in the extreme.

New Terrltory-Thc Wings.

Some wing editors are very much shocked at the idea
of this war bringing territory. They assert that
no more territory should be annexed to the United States
with any prospect of its supporting slavery They pre-
fer fighting on long men are willing to night, and our
governments able to borrow money land talk about the
yickedess oil peace that should bring IN such territory
Now, we as much as they deest the institution OF
savery but we are willing to the risk OF slavery

hundreds and thousands of fellow beings yet shed
their blood in proracted Mr. Buchanan has given
his opinion upon the probabilities of slavery being nst
mted in California in the event of acquiring it. lie
has long had ample facilities for forming good opinion
upon the subject and his views rather satisfactory to
us at least They would not perhaps suit the rantlng
abolition PARTY, who will never consent have another
inch of territory south of Mason and Dxons line. The
probabilities are against the existence of slavery in that
porion of the Mexican country that we might acquire
Hence it is the part of every good citizen to yndicate that
peace which may be honorable to both the United States
and Mexico though portion OF the territory OF the lat
ter should become attached to the former by way OF IN
demnty.
Editors speak of sother terms being made the basis
of peace with Mexico. We should like to know rha
other terms y Is Mexico able to pay us IN cash That
which she owes u.s. and to indemnify us for the expenses
of the war besides? No who is at all acquainted
with her affairs will pretend such thing. If neither
money nor real estate to be taken from her, pray what
has she else to give that could accept Nothing
whatever Then, the meaning of the "other terms"
must be that the United States should forgive the debt Mex
leo owes our citizens and government and make the peo-
ple of this government pay expenses of the war
