Bring the matter home for moment.
Surprising that an army composed OF 5000
Of the picked men Of Christendom should
set themselves down before New Orleans
city Of but little over half the size of
Mexico, and that we had $4,000 soldiers
and strong Notifications to defend i1-how
could we reconcile the entrance Of the
former into our streets and squares as
conquerors? OF course l am supposng
all impossibllity, but there is not citi-
zen between Fauburg Marigny and Car
rolton but will at once see and feel the
degrading position in which Mexicans are
placed, and will hardly blame them for
continuing contest even against every
semblance of hope. But let an army Of
$4,000 men be placed upon the line be-
tween this city and Vera Cruz, let the
communication be kept thoroughly opened
and let the inhabitants here be made to
know and feel that our intention is to
compel them to sue for terms, and there
will then be an excuse fer them, which in
their eyes will hold with the nations Of
the earth, 10 come to an amicable arrange
ment. At present all the territory we
possess in Mexico is comprised within
the range of our guns. This we can have
and can hold, against any force the ene-
my can bring; but until our army is in
creased 10 size sufficient to command
the territory on our line Of operations,
we can have no peace.
The Mexicans are now bewildered, not
subjected; they think there has been some
grand mistake in all that has occurred
Their own inferiority and lack Of militia
ry skill, they do not take into the scale
they believe that for a space Providence
has forsaken them-and thus believing,
they will continue to preach war without
truce against the North Americans, and
honestly think they will in the end come
out victorious. Nor can their eyes be O.
pened, until they see that we have men
and means al our hands, sufficient to O.

regards the future conduct of the war
they may be Of no service, but still are
my honest convictions, We must either
hold this line with d force sufficient to awe
the enemy, or else retire from it altogc,h-
err; and the sooner our Government be-
stirs itself, the better. G. w. X.

Resignation Of Santa Anna.

Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, General
Of Division, deserving Of his country,
and President Of the Republic, consid
ering-
That even viewing the state Of affairs
in consequence Of the proceedings at the
Capital, we ought not, on this account, to
despair Of defending the independence OF
the nation, attacked without motive or
ground by thu United States.
That as long as the National Congress
confided to me the executive power, so
long were resources collected for the
campaign: but now if the war is to be con
tinued, it would be extremely inconveni-
ent to remove the residence Of the SUI
preme powers from the centre Of the Re-
public.
That although the decree Of the Gen
eral Congress for its removal was not
confirmed, it nevertheless manifested its
concurrence, with articles of the project
by which it was to prepare to fix its resi-
dence in the city Of Queretaro.
That in national war, and with the
enemy i'll the bosom Of the Republic, the
greatest evils which might supervene,
should be avoided, which would be to
dissolve the government Of the Union,
and give room to the various designs of
faction BY leaving the road designated by
the fundamental law Of the country.
That the act contemplated by this de-
cree is demanded by circumstances, as in
fact neither the Genera. Congress rcr
the Council Of overnment, nor the per-
manent deputation was assembled; that it
is one Of the indispensable methods of ad-
vancing the war, and is not comprehend
ed in the restrictions placed by the de-
cree Of the Goth Of last April; therefore,
in accordance with the power with which
AM invested, l have decreed the follow
ing:
Art. 1st. In resigning the Presidency
ad interens of the Republic, in accordance
with the 9th Art, of The constitution, it
is decreed that the supreme executive
power Of the nation shall he confided. az
ter the publication Of this decree, to the
most excellent General Of Division, Don
Jose J. Herrera, and the most excellent
ST.. Doa Limo J. Alcorta, in the place Of
Don Nicolas Bravo, made prisoner Of war
who was named by the decree Of the 7th
instant.
Art. I'd. The supreme powers Of the
nation shall reside for the present, and
until the decision of the Legislature, in
the city OF Queretaro.
1t is ordered that this be duly published
and circulated.

Glorying in Observation-Disclosures, the
Mexican minister Of war, in his despatch
TO the commanding General, at Tamauli-
pas, boasts that Santa Anna "during the
time the negotiations were going on,
famed the fame Of National spirit, and
re organized the army" This was in
direct violation Of the conditions Of the
armistice, hostile 10 every principle of
honor in the commander of an army, dis.

CRY OF Mexico, Sept. rs, l847.


Assassinations continue No less than
ten murdered soldiers were found this
morning in the vicinity Of the quarter Of
San Peblo, and eight on the previous day
The fault lies partially with our own
men, who straggle from their quarters
and get intoxicated at the first puzqueria,
or grog shop; YET, the fact that even in
this state they are set upon by gangs of
armed rufians, shows that feeling Of re-
venge and deep hatred obtain against US ;
and the frequency Of the murders would
prove that regular system of assassin
alton has been organized, the wire work.
ers very likely some Of the priests and
leading men.
One great reason for this is the almost
Insignificant force under the command of
Gen. Scott. True he has had enough to
achieve victories and capture the city Of
Mexico, and for this reason many may
think that he has sufficient men. But
such is not the case. The very smallness
Of our army is more degrading to the pride
Of the Mexicans than any defea. that has
befallen them. Had an army respectable
in numbers, compared with the enter
prise undertaken and accomplished, en-
tered the valley Of Mexico, the smartings
Of discontinue would have been aIleyia-
ted by the evidence that they had not
been beaten SO shamefully by body Of
men SO inferior in numbers to their own
grand army. Nor will they think Of
peace, until forced to it by an army SO
large that there will at least be some
merit in succumbing In the eyes Of the
world. Rigorous measures, too, must be
adopted, for any one who runs may read,

II The Wisconsin Argus is out against the
Ealing of anew convention. 1t gives no particular
reasons for its course, and are consequently at
loss for its motives The defeat of the constitu-
ton is indication that the people do not want a
State government on the contrary every body
knows that probably three out of four of the whole
population desire it. What Oh ect can there be in
delay we cannot conceive, on the contrary we think
the arguments we used as friends of the Constitu-
ton In urging our entry into the Union without
delay, still hold good and will continue to till we
are admitted. Are not the 100000 acres as impor.
tant and valuable as they were before is not the
per cent worth having? is our influence in the next
House of Representatives and Senate now worth
nothing 1t does not SO so strike us on the con-
trary we feel just as anxious with regard to all
these matters as we did before the rejection of
the Constitution AS to the expense of an "extra
session. Congress made appropriation for ses-
sion Of the Legislature which after the LIST of july
next will be ours. We can thus appropriate it.
which defeats that objection The other objection
that the Legislature might refuse to do the duty for
which they were called together is preposterous
and absurd, and certainly cannot be urged with
candor. Every consideration that ever called upon
us to enter the Union still exists, if possible in
greater force. Let us not therefore unnece.sarilv

GEN TArLoR, THE WINGS AND THE WAR
The wings have been unsparing in their denunci-
atoms of the administration for ordering our army
to the Rio Grande, they declaring that to be the
immediate cause of the war. They are also un.
sparing in their laudations of Gen. Taylor and in
many places have already nominated him for the
Presidency. 1t appears by the published cores
pondence of the war department, that Gen. Taylor
was the first to suggest and recommend the ordering
of our troops to the Rio Grande, and that it was
some months before the administration yentured to
adopt and act upon his suggestions. We do not
imagine that this fact will made any difference with
the wings. If Gen. Taylor should promise to be
an arai.able, it is perfectly mmaterial what his
views are or may have been, or whether he is or is
not the author of the war.

IL The w ashington Union has a table showing
the standing of parties in the next Congress so far
as already elected with an estimate of the political
character Of those yet to be elected. By what APP
pears to be careful and candid calculation, the
Union makes the two parties in the next congress
equally balanced there being 100 of each To ar
rive at this result however, the Union sets Wiscon-
sin down as as sending t,co democratic members
We grieve that the Union should have made mis-
calculation in this respect, and particularly such
important results may flow from it. We suppose
that parties would be very nearly equally balanced
in the next House of Representatives, and thought
it possible that Wisconsin might determine the
majority in favor of the democracy, which added
to solicitude for the adoption OF the Constitution
BY this calculation it appears that such in reality
is the condition OF things and from the absence 0!
Wisconsin, the wings in all probability will have a
majority of the next House OF Representatives -
Will they admit US if such admission should destoy

considered sufficient to refuse us. How important
it is for us to be on hand if possible at the mex,
session of Congress with our t.oo representative
gress at its opening with constitution accepted BY
the people in their hands, to claim admission tc
their seats. We should be disposed to distrust the
motives ofthose claiming to be Democrats, who
under present circumstance, would seek to proven
