The Pass OF PINoS, THE SCENE or THE
Next BArrLE.--The Mexican correspon.
dent of the New York Sun has sent des-
cription with map of the Notifications at
the Pass Of Pinon where the expected bat
tie between Scott and Santa Anna will take
place. This Pass was the only one of three
roads from Puebla TO Mexico unfortiiied.
1t is a narrow gorge. sixteen miles from
the city. 1t is about sixty rods wide, and
runs between two volcanic mountains, high,
barren and difficult of access. At their ba
sis the ground is level, and the Pnon for
tiications extend in a sort of half circle
from mountain to mountain, nearly quar-
ter Of mile. One Of these mountains has a
crater top, so hollowedas TO serve as natural
breast work. Here portion of the army
is to be posted, also portion on the other
mountain, and the main body in the forti,
ficatons.
The Notifications are composed of stone
and earth of great strength, and are capa.

DTIn General Jackson's letter 10 Pres
denl Monroe, he said-"Now is the time
10 destroy that monster-party spirit, The
President Of the United States should be
the head of the nation and not the head OF
of party" Gen. Taylor in his letter TO q
gentleman in New York, says if he should
be elected-"The good of all parties and
the national good, would be my great and
absorbing aim"
Does not the identity of sentiment be.
tween these great chieftains, on this i'm,
portant subject, strike the mind very forci-
bly,? With what consistency can the adj,
mirers of General Jackson-those men who
almost worshipped him while living, and
who profess to hold his memory sacred
Taylor for uttering sentiments SO exactly
in accordance with those entertained by
the Hero of New Orleans! 1t is a striking
evidence of the predominancy in their
minds Of that ''monster--party spirit,
which General Jackson so much desired TO
destroy" and which General Taylor dep
recates to such an extent as to positively
refuse TO let his name be connected with
its perpetua'ion.
Old party hacks, whose political exis-
tence depend upon keeping up party ex-
element, may continue to denounce this
sentiment, but the people will stand by it.
In a contest between Partizans and the
People, it takes no prophet to foretell the
result. Such is likely to be the next Presi
Dental contest.
