persist in urging that scheme the BEST even when
he saw how unpopular it was and how little likely
to lead to any thing but his downfall, exile, or
even death.
The Chronicles reply to the complaints of our
government paper is somewhat decisive. The
Chronicle might, however, have very well, as to
:" Introducing SO decided an enemy" at Vera Cruz,
have quoted very eminent American example
that of our ingenious Cabinet. The same British
steamer had last year, just in like manner, brought
over SANTA ANNA. Perhaps the captain had been
led, by the Presidents argument, in his Annual
Message, in favor of letting in Generals for your
enemy's forces, to suppose that here was fresh
Presidential importation. Santa Annals credit was
getting rather low; and the supplemented skipper
may have supposed it high time that our Executive
should be sending along commander for the Mexi-
cans that had not been beaten quite SO often. Or,
lastly, the poor captain, with his head full of Mr.
PoLK's strokes ofpolicy, may have supposed that,
as the Mexicans were getting very short of money
as well as Of generals, Senior Paroles was on his
way from Washington to carry to Santa Anna the
supply of Three Millions, SO dscreety and kindly
provided by his brother President last spring.
