The stuff of which the Chronicle speaks consists OF
several parallel columns of quotations from federal papers
in opposition to the of 1872, and wing papers mop

cusively that modern whggery and ancient federalism
are the same, and that the like spirit of toyism pervade

The philadelphia North American brings Mr. Clay
again upon the aps and asserts that it has good
for believing that statements which have been made
some papers, and in circles, importing that Mr.,
Clay had prompted approved certain movements in
gard to the nomination OF candidate for the presidency,
incorrect and founded in mistake According TO our
information, it continues, ''Mr Cays advice has nva.
riaby been against any premature demonstration this
subject"
"We are aware" (adds the North Amercan) 'that
Mr.. Clay has known Gen. Taylor long and intimately,
and that no highly appreciate his eminent
qualities; but, beyond this, we have warrant to
speak" Nor does it appear anxious to speak How
different, indeed is its language from the decided tone
some Of the wing prints which fly Gen. Tayors at
their mast-heads Some of Them however, are unwil-
ling to supersede their civilian candidates; and the
opinion of many knowing politicians, that Gen. Taylor
will not, after all, be the candidate of the wing party

singular unanimity, co-operaed with the Executive in
the resolution to repel the invader, and to chasse her
until she Submitted TO honorable peace. Truly and
Justly did Gen. Taylor under the instructions of his
government, issue a proclamation TO the Mexicans
stating For many years citizens have been sub.
ecied to repeated insults and njuriesour vessels and
cargoes have been seized and Contradictions merchants
have been pundered manned, imprisoned, without cause
and without reparation AT length your government
acknowledged the justice OF claims, and agreed by
treaty make satisfaction BY payment OF several millions
of dollars but this treaty has been violated by your
rulers, and the stipulated payments have been withheld
Our late effort to terminate all difficulties by peaceful ne
goation has been rejected by the dictator Paredes and
our minister of peace whom your rulers had agreed to
receive, has been refused hearing He has been treated
with ndgnity and insult and Paroles has that
tcar eris betosen This war, thus first proclaimed
by him, has been acknowledged an existing fact by
our President and Congress, with perfect unanimiy"
Weshould have been justified in commencing and prose
cutting hoslties to rights, ii other con.
sieatons prevailed but were saved this painful he.
cessy by the and prosecution Of hoshi.
ties by Mexico.
1t u.s. consequently, paIpaby clear, that far as this
government was concerned, European interference had
nothing to do with bringing the war. As Were,
however, Involuntary drawn into the contest,
sable that the balance power theory should be de-
intvely disposed of, relates TO its application upon

purposes it deemed advisable not to obstruct
Santa Annals passage TO Mexican port. He acted in
obedience TO the opinions which he cherished during his
exile, adversely to the monarchca party of his
try. 1t is well for all concerned, that the question
should be denitvely disposed Of that the last speck
of war with European powers may vanish from the po,
cal horizon Good neighborhood is not less desirable
among States than among individuals; and, if we place
Mexico in position to deport herself upon one SIDE we
shall have nothing to apprehend from British aggressons

Prayer of an Haiiun PrieSI.-Wo copy from
u letter dated Rome. April l3lh. an extract from
prayer made in the basUiYue of St. Peters by
Father Ventura, ii Catholic minister, during Lent.
Ii formed tho closing portion, and created quite
sensation at the time in Rome:
.'Bess, O Lord. that lofty spirit, tha, robIc
heart, that gifted intellect, the wclI-beloved person
of our sovereign Pontf, Plus tx, whom, in your
mercy, you have granted unto Already have
his first steps in his career announced the pIen-
tude of that light which thou ever causcSt 10 de-
scend upon men destined for great things. Al
ready, under the protection of ;our divine wisdom,
and the enthusiastic support Of the people, has he
entered with boldnCss upon lst and lawful re-
forms; having religion for their base, moderation
for their companion, and for their end the happ-
ness of thy people; of those reforms which are the
characteristics of the present day, as well as the
urgent want of nations.
Grant, o Lord, that he may ever be more and
more penetrated with a sense of his duties, us a
Pontif' and Prince; that he may be faithful to
that mission that proceeds from thee that he may
be able to solve the great problems Of doctrines
and principles, whose legitimate solution belongs
not TO the sword but TO thy Word. Grant that
by his example he may inspire others to aid in
those reforms which alono can save princes from
anarchy and the people from expressions; that he
may persuade 10 obedience, strengthen his COM
mand and fix upon Il solid basis tho social order
" hch on all sides is threatened with ruin. Re-
move him far away from lroachery; let him not
be assuiled by intrIgue-lot no prejudces stop
him, may no menance, no terror be capable of
atfrighling him. Sustain him in his struggles.
console HIM in his trials, guide him in the choice
of his ministers. that he may find in them an arm
to aid him, and not stumbling block TO cause
! him to fall.
Already has ho won the appreciation of all;
his praises have been promulgated from lips u.s.
ually hostile to the true faith surprised themselves
at being thus impressed by the indescrlbabe as
cendancy Of that serene and pacific majesty that
commands respect while it inspires love. Pro-
long his days, preserve his strength, illuminate
more and more his spirit improve his heart that
he may better comprehend all he should do and
may have the courage to do it-hat surprising
all the calculations of human policy. he may re-
main firm in the persuasion that tho power of
laws and principles is greater than the might of
Yarns. May thy word and thy holy spirit be his
only mnsters-in order that the cause of reli.
gion may be blessed, that the church may be in.
dependent, and that his people may be happy.
