Mr.. CLAY's SrxKoH.-This great document
has not yet come to hand, but we expect to re-
ceive it in day or rwo. Previous to the meet
ing at which that speech was made, it appears
there were some secret movements in private
circles, among the friends of Mr.. Clay, organ
izing themselves for the next Presidential cam.
paign. In these meetings very remarkable at.
tack was made on General Taylor, in which hi,
patriotism was acknowledged, his victories ad
m,ted, but his popularity moderated, and the
Taylor meetings throughout the country ridi
culed. 1t is very evident from these and othel
movements, that the friends of Mr.. Clay, in the
wing party, are determined to make him theil
candidate, at all hazards, whether General Tay
lor or Scott be allowed in the field, or not. lI
this quarter, the friends Of Mr. Clay are strength
ening themselves very much, during the last few
DAYS, and we would not be much surprised
the whole of the wing party, Notwithstanding
the position taken by Mr.. Clay, were to unite IN
one determined effort to support him as thu
peace candidate for the Presidency, in opposition
TO Mr.. Polk, or any other man, as the war party

Important Politlc.I movemsur..

The following circular appears in the Western
papers. II appears to have been issued previous
to the recent meeting In Lexington, at which
Mr.. Clay made his great speech. 1t is the com.
mencement of the movement made by those
wings who are favorable to Mr.. Clay's nomi-
nation for the next presidency. So Mr. Clay, on
the wing side, and.Mr. Van Buren,, on the loco
foco, are both up for the next race. More

Some of the Southern papers are still harping
upon the twelve months men. 1t is true that the
time of few more than three thousand volunteers
will expire in June and July: but we have ascer-
tanned from the Adjutant Generals Office that rein
forcements have already arrived, or route, of
men to serve during the war, who will more than
supply the vacancy. General Scott will have a
strong and most efficient army to meet and over
come any force which the enemy may send against
him. And we learn that fresh detachments of a
force now in the service of the Government will
probably be sent forward to participate in the war
with Mexico-Union Of Friday night.

Suppose Gen. ScoTT in the city of Mexico, at
the head of twenty thousand men. Still he has the
uis inerto Of population Of eight millions to over
come-he has to encounter the sullen vindictlve,
though temporarily impotent hatred Of a race pro-
verbal for the violence of its prejudices and the
fanatcism ofits religion. The authorities of Mexico
refuse to treat for peace The people in all direc-
tons lie in wait to capture and kill every unpro-
tected American The city Of Mexico is not the
Republic. When the allies entered Paris, France
itself was subdued but we Americans may very
well seize and hold the capital of Mexico, and yet
be far from subjugating the entire nation Thus the
contingency may happen when the single alternative
will be presented to this Government of maintain
ing vast standing army in the heart of Mexico to
guard the Spoa Opima of our triumphs and to await
the period when the authorities of that distracted
country may be willing to negotiate for peace. The
question would then arise how far the resources of
Mexico could be made available to pay the expenses
of this large military force-a problem which we
will not now endeavor to solve.-New Orleans Bee.

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

The subjoined article, proposing to carry into
practical effect the doctrines upon which we had
occasion to comment at large in our paper of Satur-
day last, came to US yesterday, marked with
pen on the paper which contained 1t, with the IN
ention probably, to attract our attention TO it more
particularly.
We transfer it at large to our columns for the
purpose of keeping our readers advised OF what
atrocious projects boldly proposed in the midst
of SO enlightened and moral a community as that
of the city Of New York. and for the purpose also of
expressing our own opinion that, until the People
of this Union, Withdrawing from the family OF
Nations and forswearing the laws by which It is
governed, renounce also their own Government,
and eclibs-e.sly reurn a state Of barbarism. no
proposition resembling the subjoined m any ma
terial feature can ever receive their countenance.
We invite for IT, the contrary, universal repro
baton and condemnation, foreign to the genius
Of this Government, and incompatible with its most
sacred Institutions and its most cherished policy.
Our adherence of this proposition is excited as
much by what is included in il, though not express
ed, as by what IS expressed that is to say, by
the proposed perpetual subugation-for that is the
plain English-of Mexico, and occupation of its
entire territory by military force from the United
States sufficient to and ENsLAvE that Dhole
People. Think of proposition so ferocious and
sanguinary as this, addressed to humane and
Christian People, like those of the United States,
sensible of the value of freedom from foreign
