hrThe Erss thing the Representa-
dives should do, says the Boston Atlas,
whea they meet in Washington, in De-
cember, is to demaEd OF the President
what he intends to accomplish by far
ther prosecution Of the war. Tie should
be required to give an explicit and cate
gorlcal answer to this inquiry, and, until
an answer is obtained, the Wings should
refrain from voting new appropriations
Of money or new levies Of men for the
war The war must have some object,
and the object should be known. When
it is known, then the Wings will under
stand precisely their position, and viii
act accordingly. In his message, last
December, Mr.. Polk said, sthe object Of
the war was not one Of conquesl;" having
therefore, told us what the war was not
for, lei him ia December tell what it is
for. If it is not for conquest, what OBJ
iect has it, II il has no object, or if it is
for conquest, the sooner il is stopped the
better. We take It that the people of
this country have no desire 10 continue
war which yearly costs thousands OF
lives and millions OF money, merely for
the qualification of personal spite, or for
an equally unworthy parpose, lighting
for the love of it.

WHAT THE PEOPLE MEAN-The Mem
phis Eagle, speaking of the large Wing
Majority III that city, holds the following
language:
"The vote of our city is proud and
glorious achievement. Not as mere
partisan triumph do we proudly recur TO
ii, but as a stern rebuke of an honest, dis
satisfied, chagrined, aud indignant people,
who have lrowned on an Administration
and its rulers whom they helped to ele-
vate, for their UickedIy inuoiUing the
nation in a proiOn ged, life and treasure
Casiing Uar, ,choHy mcoiied for, and
disasfrnus 10 The best interests of The
nation, IN erery rieU Liaf can be taken
Of IL, as well as for their insolent, despot-
ic, and infamous course in denouncing all
as traitors who dared to doubt the wis
dom and justice of the war. We do re-
joice that Memphis has SO nobly rcbukcel
the Presidents son though he be of her
own State soil.''

SACRIFICE OF LIFE by TUE WAR.

SACRIFICE OF LIFE by THE WAR
The officers Of the army and those
who have the means of ascertaining the
loss sustained By our army since the COM
mencement of the Mexican war. put it
down at TWENTY THOUSAND MEN, whose
bodies mingle with the soil of Mexico
Tie mortality of sacrifice Of life at the
present time is estimated at FIFTY SOL
DIERs A DAYl Think of this, We advocates
of the warl Look at il, we friends of
Peace. What trophies have we gained
for all This sacrifice oflife! What shrieks
of lamentaton cloud the glorious achieve
ments Of our arms! What appalling mis-
cry and woe is sent over the country TO
brighten our national escutcheon. The
loss Of life seems lost sight of by those
who do not taste of the bitter cup of af-
Fiction. The sacrifices of war seem
drowned in the glitter of the conquest
Human beings are wiped from the face OF
the earth with as little regard as insects.
But there are hearts that feel, and widows
and orphans that mourn as deeply as il
their fathers and husbands had died i'll
their mIdst.-Pa. Tel.

No MORE TERRIToRy.-The Rich
mond Wing concludes an article upon the
subject of the Wilmot Proviso, and the
danger IL threatens to the stability of the
Union, with this admonition:
at is for every lover of the Union
for every friend of his country-for eve
ry true born American, 10 resist the intro
duction Of more territory into the Union.
Let him make up his mind to stand by
the Union, and 10 submit to receive no
gift which will bring its continuance into
danger. Like the Trojan horse, this fa-
tai gift of Mexican territory is fraught
with danger and death; like the unwary
Troians, let us not break down the wall
and admit into the citadel. Let us repel
il. and those who offer il To us. Then
and then only can we be safe; then and
then only will we have done our duty 10
the Union, to ourselves, and to mankind
in general, whose hopes are wrapped up
in the success of our great experiment.

ADDITIONAL MEXICAN INTELLI
GENCE.

The additional intelligence received
from Mexico last evening presents more
Ineligible and connected view of events
than the previous accounts. The causes
which led to the armistice, and by what
parties suggested. leave no ground for ap-
prchension that Gen. Scott was induced
to propose suspension of arms from ne.
cessity, on account of the smallness of his
force, reduced by two sanguinary engage
mcnts. The agency of the British Lega-

The "Democratic Union" seconds the
denunciations Of the Philadelphia Locofo-
co papers hurled against Anii-Locofoco
mechanics employed in the Navy Yard.
That paper, Shunk's home organ, goes
for carrying out the Marcy doctriue-"to
the viciors belong the spoils,'-cmploy
or encourage in business none but Loco
locos. Ii says, "If we neglec, our friends
when we have tho power to serve them,
We must not be asionished If they falter
in the hour of trial." This taking care
of your friends has another object in
view. IL looks to the making of votes
for Gov Skunk, by presenting to honest
bat poor mechanics the alternative of yo-
ting the Locofoco ticket, or being dis
charged. Let every Wing mechanic or
laborer spurn and defy such attempts to
iyrannize over him.-Bucks Co. Int.
