The Foley Of the Gouernmsat.-Whila
expressing, day or two since1 our oppo-
sition 10 the projects Of the wholesale con-
quest and annexation Of Mexico, so freely
moo,ed in some of the Northern journals,
we took occasionIo declare our eutire dis
belief that design Of such character were
entertained blythe Administration. or 70 !.
cognizsd as amongst the eventual and le-
climate results of the war. Confirmation
| Of this Wow has followed hard upon It's an.
nouncement. This official organ of the
Government disavows in :erms at once
distinct aud emphatic, all participation of
the Government in fhese imputed schemes
forihe annhilalion of Mexican nationali-
,y. Thaljuurnal ofthe 2lst, in The course
of an elaborate political disquisiIion, thus
formally repudiates the charge:
"The other Of the two charges to which
we refer is 10 the effect that The Admins
.traliou is looking to the total sGbjugatlon
of, Mexico, and tn The holding of that
country in permanent subjec'Ion 10 our
Government, as The basis upon which
peace is to be concluded.
Such shameful attempts to SANDER The po-
| licy of our Government cannot hut disgust
the country. and must recoil upon the
| journal which puts Them forth. In the
policy which dictates our presentwar with
I Mexico. the administration has never wa.
vered. That policy has been repeatedly
proclaimed to the country in the most au.
lhoritalive forms Of official statement. IL
demands full reparalion for past outrage,
tand adequate guarantees against future in
iuries, as the basis of an honorable peace.
II demands nothing more. 1t makes no
war against Mexican nationality. II wages
no conflict against Mexicans. institutions,
either civil or religious. 1t seeks indemni.
ty aDd justice, not conquest nor subjuga-
ton. Tire charge that any idea is enter:
iained by the administration, or any mem
ber Of it, of destroying the national organ
izaion of Mexico. or of holding Mexico in
suhjugalion, or Of annexing Mexico to The
United States is, therefore, the mere SLAM
der Of faction tooblind TO see the truth, and
false enoug 10 his own country 10 make a
daily business Of quoting and utlering a
sainst its Government anonymous SLAM
ders, which it has nol the mauliness to put
forth in lis own uame."
Ii is gratifying 10 behold the prompt
! tude and decision with which the organ of
the administration repels the. charge Of
cherishing designs at once iniquitous in
themselves. aud incompatible with. any
| policy sthataseeks "a speedy peace. lDslil
|inlo 1lIes srninds of the Mexicans, the idea
that we are light fore the mere lust Of do
lsminion, aud that, come what may, our
thirst of territorial aggrandizementis is only
to be allayed by ,heiextnction of lhelrna
tionalily, aud, you arm them wiila"a mo-
live and a cue to action" tenfold more
powerful than any by which they are now
kept together A bond Of union would
spring from the universal instinct of pre-.
serving their political existence: and

honest and intelligent citizens, who are
anxbus for peace, arnity aud alliance with
The United States, as the precursor oil a
more stable. liberal aud free Government,
not man would be found in The presump-
lion referred 10, who would not urge the
most deadly and uncomp promising warfare
-"guerra al cuchiHo"-against those who
sought The political annihilaliou of the Re.
public. Such policy would, therefore,
tend TO The indefinite pro,raction Of the
war. II is stated upon exccllen, authority,
that there is now in Mexico, peace party

aueuce-who are gradually acquiring in
creased strength, as the progress Of our
arms and the wise and generous conduct of
our commanders prove that we are not The
rapacious vandals, the notwithstanding

TO believe us. This party may be ex-
tended indefinitely, aud made 10 embrace

pecsasility~ and wealth of Mexico, or it
may be, at onee,-lesfroysd aud rendered
powerless according 10 the pot;ey pursued
by our Generals. Hence we rejoice that
a paper, like the Washington Unio1a-a
paper whose position gives il wide cir

perusal abroad, should thus early and
uneqnivocally stamp with Reproduction, the
impulilic and grouudless speculalions Of
