You sometimes use. Mr. Editor the term Mexican

filings at the administration, and 'nusce" OF the pres

achieved nothing more, according to Mr. Smiths declara

ressess version of this foul sur upon brave army,
obviously involving charge of RIGHTEOUSNESS and wan

upon. The victories of Taylor and of Scott have been

Drawer spirits have only been mastered by the effemnate
wiles of officers and soldiers Here are two
