Voting Supplies.

The brazen- faced partizans of the at,ninistra-
ton, next 10 urging on their unholy scheme Of
Conquest. falsifying all tho truths Of history
IN their factious attempts to push the Wings Into
4 false position. They charge with being
committed from the frs: in favor Of the BY
having voted the orig inal and subsequent; supplies
and with being inconsistent in now ccnouncing
its monstrous iniquity
II the Wings have voted supplies that does
not commit them TO the least responsibility for
the origin conduct Of the war-rnuch less for
the fclouious ends for which it is prosecuted.
When Congress was first called on for supplies
the war was already made made without law;
made by the President himself on his own indi-
ydual responsibility in defiance alike of our own
Constitution and the rights Of sister Republic.
They voted the and the money demanded
BY the war act: but when they voted, Gen.
TAYLOR was surrounded by enemies vastly SUI
peror in numbers TO those of his own army, and
was believed TO be in imminent danger Of being
cut to pieces. 1t to the army from
destruction, and the flag of the country from dis
gVace-not to give the slightest sanction to the
war already in progrcss--that the Wigs voted
the means Of eXtrication. The Infamous lie in
the preamble, they voted against and protested
against unavailingy.
Such were the grounds Of that vote Let
Locofoc oism make the most of 1.-THE patro-
,srn Of the motive will justify that vote for
Supplies have since been called for, whic,,
Wings have seen fit TO grant:-not because they
duct or object of the war; but because being in
the war, and the last Congress having refused to
disclaim territorial acquisition as its object, they
saw no hope of speedy peace but in vigorously
fighting il, out. All motive for its furtllc prose-
cutiou would have been taken away had that
disc Amer been made, and peace would have
soon followed. But the Wings were IN power
less minority. Their hands were tied; and IN
these nome ntous questions 20 deeply affecting
the character and destinies Of the country, they
could offer no cffcctuul check TO the reckcssness
of party legislation. For that disclaimer, they
went in a body; but when that failed, there
NO alternative but to vote the means for its vi
rorous prosecution, the only hope Of speedy
peace, or wage fruitless opposition that might
indefinitely protract il with all its ruinous train
Of consequences AS the least Of two great
OWLS they chose the former. On this ground they
rest, and they fear not the Judgment that Loco
foe osm may bring against them.
And now. the last Congress having fllcd to
disclaim Conquest, the issue goes out to the peo-
ME- whether they will sanction by their votes
this villiainous scheme of National robbery in
electing the Congress yet to come.-Cncinnat

MR.. CLAI'S RALEIGH LETTER.

Of that consequence there cannot he a Doubt. AN

NEWS OF THE GREAT BATTLE
CONFIRNEDl
American Loss estimated at 500 10 1900:
Mexican 1000 to 5000!

The New Orleans Delta, of the o3d, speaking
Of the great aud terrible battle of Ruena Vista,
saws:
The Iexicans advanced upon TAYLOR with
great holiness, brayclv led on BY their best offi
GERS, bat were met by our gallant volunteers with
Inc cool hrniness of veteran soldiers. A fierce
ana long battle ensueI, the Nexicans charging

ana on me next Gay until the evening when the
-ie1icans retired TO Aqua Nueya, leaving their
k!te1 unbGried, and all their wounded on the
iield where they fell. The killed and wounded
on the Mexican s. Il are estimated al !. 900. some
OF the Mexican officers taken prisoners al nit In
their loss was at least 1000.
The New Orleans Commercial Times, of the
same date, has the following:
our men must have fought like lions un'er the
eye OF their 'euerated chief for the slaughter Of
the Toe amounts IN the aggregate 10 nearly the
whole American force engaged. I'h- loss sus-
tanned by our army is extremely heavy consi,.-
ernG the proportion 1t bears TO the nunb of onr
troops WHO were present the well fou rht field

coincidence Of the battle OF Bucni Vista and the
anniversary of " ashington's birth had on our
men, but their happc ning on the same dav per
sheeS US that tins circumstance in itself was suf-
iIcIcnt to nerve the arGa Of the American solder
to invincibllIty.
The following is postscript in the Delta OF

Cen. TaysOr's Force.

According to the Union, the aggregate offorce,
both regular and volunteer, under the orders OF
General Taylor, as shown upon the muster; rolls,
IS 1870. tOf these ID. regular troops :,
252 are volunteers of tho levies of May and June
last; making n total of 1874 men, exclusive of
the nesc volunteer regiments. But 1t Is supposed
that of these 9,314, not more than about 5000
certainly can be counted as efcctire. 1t is pro-
bablc. indeed that of these troops in the field.
the effective force may not exceed ',oou. And
vet with this small force he required, not
only to protect his long line OF operations, eNten,-
ing rom Point Isabel TO Saltllo, garrison the
towns he had wrcsted from the enemy, and pro-
vide for the protection and transportation of
his stores, but was even expected TO advance to-
wards San Luis PotoSi. where it was known that
Santa Anna had long been organizing the main
body Of the Mexican army.
The L MON with its characteristic eXpertness
in figures, and III its efforts TO ward off from the
administration the damning reproach of having
left Gen. Taylor dcfenceless, endeoyors to make
ont that-taking into account the new regiments
called out last Novembcr-Gen. Taylor had an
effective force Of not far from 10000 men.
OF the new regiments of volunteers called out
in November, lSl6,-afnounting to 4, 536-two
regiments from Pennsylvania. and one from New
York are with Gen Scott. One regiment from
Louisiana is at Tanlpico--also to aid the opera
tions of Gen. Scott. One regiment from Virgin
"a and one from Mississippi were all that had aFri-
we'd, and these if recollect rightly, had not
advanced beyond Camargo
The re iments from massachusetts, North Car
DINA and South Carolina were still on their way
So that after all il oud seem that of this great
force of 1886 volunteers levied last November.
which the government m tho pienitude OF its
power, and the depth OF lis soiictude, had sent
10 aid Gen. Tay or IN retaining the posts he had
so galiantiy won, and which the Union jealous
Nv paradcs.--two regiments only had reache!
Mex and even these had not advanced far
enough into the interior to be of any service, or
render any aid whatever TO Gen. Taylor in the
strait to which he was driven. On his own in
domitab!e spirit and the undaunted resolution Of
his little army of volunteers, he had TO rely. 10
,hcse-aud these alone he looked for cxtricstion
and he did not look in vain.
AS TO the force which Gen. Taylor had in the
recent engagement we have certain Informal
ton. Santa Anna, with all his known habits Of
Mexican cxaggeration only puts it at 5000 or 5000
men Our own accounts estimate II at 5000,
which i, is presumed is not far from CORRECTLY.
