nous for her dilalory policy and her inconsis-

should suppose that she NAV employ negotiation
with the idle hope Of gaining time, so we cannot
doubt that our military operations will not be
seriously suspended until the ratification Of a
treaty of peace. We presume our propositions,
if they should be submitted. are drawn so clearly
and distinctly as no, to admit Of much evasion or
delay. We dare to venture anothersugge
that the administration is preparing for either for.
tune, and that additional preparations are max.

if such a necessity should be imposed upon us.

ter having failed on his hrsl issue. Ii Is olten
hazardous in our plcadings TO plead what is not
true, and in doing so in the present case, the
President has not only offended morality. which
he may regard as a small matter, but has even
committed blunder.
"The course the President should have pursu.
ed is plain and obvious. On learning The state Of
things on the frontier, the critical condition Of
our army Of occupation, heshould have demand
ed Of Congress the rcinlorcements and supplies
necessary to relieve il and secure the purpose for
which it was avowedy sent 10 the RIO Grande;
aud, if he believed it proper or necessary, TO
have. in addition, laid before Congress a full and
truthful statement Of our relations with Mexico.
including all the unadjusled complains, past and
present, we had against her. accompanied by The
recommendation of declaration Of war. He
would then have kept within the limits Of his
duty, proved himself plain constitutional Presi-
dent and left the responsibility Of war or no war
10 Congress, the only war making power known
to our laws. Congress, after mature delibera.
tion, might, or might not, have declared war;
most likely would not but whether SO or not
responsibility would have rested with it, and no
blame would have attached TO the President.
"Unhappiy, this course did not occur 10 the
President, or was too plain and simple TO meet
his appreciation. As if fearful, if Congress de.
liberated, it might refuse to declare war, and as
if determined to have war at any rate, he presen-
ted to Congress, not the true issue, whether war
should or should not be declarcd-but the false
issue, whether Congress would grant him the
means Of prosecuting war, waged against US by
foreign power. In the true issue, Congress
might have hesilated-in the one actually pre-
sened there was no room 10 hesitate, if the Off
cial announcement Of the President was 10 be
credited, and hesitation would have been crimi-
nal. By declaring that The war already existed,
and by the act of Mexico herself, the President
relieved Congress Of the responsibility Of the
war, by throwing it all on Mexico. But since he
cannot laSlen it on Mexico-ior war did not al
ready exist or if so, by our act, and not hers-it
necessarily recoils upon himself, and he must
bear The responsibility of doing what the Coust-
tuition lorbids him 10 do-o( making war without
the Intervention Of Congress. In effect, there
fore, he has uamped the Constitution under his
feet, set dangerous precedent, and, by The Off
cial publication Of Palpabe lalsehood, sullied
The national honor. Ills with no pleasure that
we speak thus of the chief magistrate of the
Union, for whose elevation 10 his high and res.
Ponsibe office we ourselves voted. But what.
ever may be our attachment to party, or the res
Pect we hold to be due from all good citizens to
The civil magistrate, we cannot see the Constilu-
uon violated, aud the national honor sacrificed,
whether by friend or foe, from good motives or
bad, without entering, feeble though ii be, our
stern and indignant protest."

RICHMOND, Aug. 98-sPM
by the arrival of The steamship Alabama at
N. Orleans, Vera Cruz dates to the 9Th instant
have been received. All was quiet at that city.
The most important news which arrived by
the steamer was, that Gen. Paredes had arrived
in Mexico. At the last accounts he was in Par
is. He reached Vera Cruz on the l4lh, in the
English royal steamer Tevoot, under an assumed
name.
This steamer was telegraphcd from the Castle
OF San Juan de Ulloa, ut 4 O'Clock in the morn
ing by English merchants, from signal known
only 10 themselves. They were conscious that
a distinguished parsonage was on board, and his
friends made preparations for his reception. All
was kept as still as midnight. and not suspicious
movement made by which detection of improper
conduct could be discovered on the part OF Eng.
sh or Mexicans. The steamer anchored and
landed the passenger.
He assumed The name Of II. Don Martine,"
from Havana. On arriving at the quay in Vera
Cruz, leaped aboard the first boat which came
along side, was received by his friends, and con-
Quoted TO his quarters in the city. He borrowed
4O onces OF gold, hat, coat, and three horses,
and with two servants passed the gates Of the city
ot Vera Cruz in thirty minutes after the landing.
The Steamers mail, in the mean time, came
on shore. and among the letters were some to
the Collector, and others from Mr.. Campbell, our
Consul at Havana, disclosing the fact that the
Ex.Presdent of Mexico had taken passage on
board the steamer, and directing them to look
out for him.
The above news came too late--the bird had
flown.
Wear deeply panied to hear of the death Of
Col. Wilson, Of the Cd Infantry, who was repre-.
senIed at the last accounts as convaIescen1. He
died on the l2th inst, and was buried on the fol
