 SIR: The undersigned, Minister of War and Marine of the Government of the United States of Mexico, has received orders from his Excelency, the President and Genera,-n Chief to reply to the letter of your Excelleney, in which you propose armistice for the purpose of stopping any further eHusion of blood between the two great Republics of this Continent, and giving hearing to the pro- posaI which may be made by the Envoy of his Ex- celiency the President of the United States of Ame- nca. actually present a, the Head Quarters of your Army.
 1t is indeed lameatable, that for want of paving due attention to the rights of the Mexican Repub. lie. so much blood. inevitably, have been split be- tween two of the first Republics of this Continent, and it is with much reason that your Excellency qualities this an unnatural one; not only on account of its motives. ba. likewise, If we csnsider the pfecents of the two nations, which are per- feetiy linked Tn interest and intercourse. The pFo- poss of armistice which will terminate this scan- dal. has been admitted with pleasure by his Excel lency, the President and General Chief since it facilitates the hearing of the proposals for teImina- ting decorousiy this war, to be made by the Envoy of the President of the United States of America. lnconseqaence, his Exceiiency, the President and General Chief. orders ne to announce to your Exceileney, that he admits of the proposal of an ar mistice, and fer that purpose has appointed the General Of Brigade.

Under this head, the editor of the Democrat says, in his last paper that. "Essy Convention that has heretofore been held in this Ssae has been ssed Tor the benefit of fimily Clique at this place, which has very modestly claimed all the important offices of the General and State Governments, for its mem hers and their strikers" Our neighbor seems to have forgotten that the nominations by the conven- tion of ISi4, were as follows:
 For Congress, A. YELL.
 For Governor. D. J. CH. .PMAN.
 Electors for President. MARX w HARD, W, ;. OLDHAM, and CHESTER ASHLEY. Dsd those gen. tlemsr, Mir. Editor, belong to ihe sci you designa- ted as the family cliqus''' If so, will you be good enough to tell us who it includes beside, and how far it extends We imagine neither Dr. Chap man nor Col. Ashley will claim such distinction, .isi..ash inc nominees of Democratie convention and as such canvassed the State, for the respective offices for which they were selected.
 The extract we have made from the Democrr :, ab- ssrd enough, would not require notice but or its hidden purpose.
 Every one who knows anything of the history of our conventions. will perceive that the Editor is paving the way to repudia;e the action of the ventioa, which will be held in Jan. next, and very ;ngeniousy contriving, hole to creep still further out of the Democratic party, should the nominees not be men, who have pledged allagience to the ..Ashey faction" | its organ.
 We have had an inkiing. that there is a noseless but very decided split in the Whis ranks, which hss been growing wider since the last congressional election. To those who have noticed the obsequi- eusness of the Democrat to the leader of one esiumn of whiggery, with the further fact that both are willing to ''sappor Gen, TdyiOr for Presidesi snd ask no questions. such things are ominous oi sesai,ioa which iorebodes no good to the party, and against which all true Democrats should be forewarned. If Gen. Taylor, declares himself a Democrat and the National Convention nominates hin. this will all be very well Under such eircum- stances we will give him our cordial support, but we hope that the democratic party, with all it's ex- ultation in his brilliant achievements, will never forego principles for military fame, however dag. xling. It would not surprise US. however, to see at the head of the Democrat, the name of Gen. Fay lcr. hois;ed whether whig or Democrat. and | chance afforded for the successful wing" of the whig party. to speculate again in a newspaper s'good will and all"

But we are unwilling to question the pro- psiety Of the means adopted by the Commander -in- Chief to obtlin peace, until know, under what orders from our Government he acted, and more in detail the situation of affairs. Those who consider that the hrilancy of his late victories may interfere in some degree with the whig strength of General Taylor and for ihs reason, attempt to deisact from his we'll earned iauis should think of the position of General Taylor at Monterey and hesitate before ccndemnipg all that may not suit their own partieu Iu views The good judgment of Scott in the field. the constant success, which has attended our arms under him. should enttIe him to the country's gra- tituae and fullest confidence,
