Of the n. Y. Courier
As to the necessary force under Gen. Scott" if
may believe the n. Y. Courier and Enquirer,
which is high wing authority, he had enough and
than enough to take and hold the city of Mexico,
had he not fit TO discharge his men and send
them home six weeks before the time Of their enlist
ment had expired. The Courier, supposing this was
done by order of the Government at Washington,
pronounced it "sucidal measure" Of folly" and
- insanity" The Washington Union one of whose
articles we copy, shows concusively that Gen. Scott,
and the administration is responsible for the act
aud if blame is to be attached any one, it must be
to him. The moral traitors of the Journal will see
in it their conviction, well that of the edi-
tors of the Courier and Enquirer.
How does the talk about the Presidents shot haste
in patching up peace" become the foul mouths of
the men, who for the past six months have vomited
nothing but upon the Government for its prose-
eution of the war, and who in favor of Tom
COrwn's proposition to cease fighting insantly-im-
mediately withdraw all our forces-give up to the
Mexcans, Internationally all the advantages we had
gained and, finally consummate our national humili-
alton and disgrace by begging pardon of the Next
cans and paying them damages in full! That they
do thus talk, only proves what we have always be-
lieved and said would b. the case.-that the moment
peace shall be concluded these federal-tory- Mexican
wings will at turn round and curse our Govern
ment as roundy for it, as ever they cursed it for
carrying on the 1t has always been so, and
always will be. They were always the peace-pafty
in and the warpary in Peace; in short, TORIES
The lying slang about the {" pass" to Santa Anna,
the friend of whlggery and whggery's friend, is
worthy of more than the question-with whom better
than Santa Anna could peace be concluded If con-
cuded at all -! When that question is answered, it
may be worth while to discuss other matters relative
to him. In the mean time, we may be permitted to
say, that wish most ferventy that pass" into
Mexico might be given to all such traitors as the wr-
ter of the Journal paragraph, that they might
stand chance Of getting their deserts. in company
with their "great General" Santa Anna and their
yellow skinned brethren
