Henry McCulloch and the company commanded by
Captain Grumblcs, have also marched for the same

The steamboat Sabine lately made trip TO tho upper

- abandon him, but to support him win all
,h.;r strength in the next canvass. They de-
dared themselves unwilling to abandon the prln-
o;nle of the party in 1928 and 1882 that military
achieyements are no merit in President; that
10 the statesman belongs civil power, and to the
soldier the camp and the battle ground. These
arc the sentiments of the wing Clay party, ex-
pressed openly and above board, and in advance
of the great struggle of ls4s.
We see, then, that clear, clean line Of de-
is drawn between the two strongest
portions of the wing party, one on which there
may be no reconciliation. If, therefore, the pre-
sent aspect of affairs should continue, and the
nominating convention should be composed IN
the main of these two parties, and unless Gen.
Taylor shall decline the nomination, which we
hardly suppose the country would permit him to
do, the next Harrisburg convention will witness
the disruption of the ties that now bind the
wing party together. Whether nominated or not,
however, by that convention, Gen. Taylor, II he
consent 10 run, will be elected by the people with
reclamation

Our RELATIONS WITH MBxIco.-It Is supposed,
by those acquainted with the character OF Santa
Anna that soon after his arrival at the city OF
Mexico he will sue for peace, and open negocla-
tons with us. The capture Of Vera Cruz and the
castle, his own defeat at Buena Vista, the fall OF
chihuahua, the continued successes OF our troops,
and the recent revolution in the Mexican capital,
will all force him TO the conclusion that the con-
tinuance of the war will ultimately destroy his
country. With these fixed facts" before him,
it is thought that he will be able, with the aid OF
the church, to convince the obstinate Mexlcans
of the folly of prolonging the war.
