The Navy Department adopted the same principle and
pursued the course in its instructions.
The National Iniellgencer" is pleased to doubt the
sincerity" with which the administration took this
ground 1t does believe the Executive sincere in dis
avowng those parts of Sloafs and Kearnys proclama
tons which related to ga permanent territorial govern
men" and to the annexation of the conquered territories
to the United States Upon what authority does it ques
ton the sincerity of the Execu,ive None at all. The
President his two Secretaries and Gen. Scott have all
concurred in drawing this distinction and long before
the documents were published the Union" spoke de-
cdedly upon the subject
Again By what authority does the 'lnelligencer' ~
aver that this instrument the last proclamation of
Gen. Kearny, has been supplied to the executive vice
roy at Monterrey" Has the Intelligencer" seen the
instructions which were subsequently sent to our com
manders after the Presidents message OF December 22d!
1t does not presume to make such assertion On the
contrary we maintain that the dispatches which have
been sent off since are strictly comfortable to these prn
cples
These are perfectly consistent with the constitution
and with the laws of nations. We hold, that by the
constitution the power to declare is vested in Con-
gress The war exists with Mexico by her act,
and by the declaration of Congress 1t became the duty
OF the Executive to carry on this with all the
rights and subject to all the duties imposed by the laws

his selection of title iCr the pompous Captain

Puff Master General" Who that read the Re-
giser last winter will not be struck with it2 But,
through anxiely 10 this lummary of our day

facturer-in- Chief" to his titles which wcl-earned
desert the Standard overlooked ;-eertes-he is
entitled to it,-for who in this or any other age
ever did manufacture great men out of smaller
material, or more of them, than this same " Puff
Master General ?" He not only rccounts in set

lift of his fame-dispensing pen raises others who

In all this too, it is particularly 10 be noted,
with what dignity and dsccncy of style the work
is done:-no extravagant bombast and fwning
fauery of friends-no vulgar abuse and low

Mr.. Benton This gentleman, recently so fault
less the federaists for his course on the Oregon
question, is in great danger of once more losing
their high favor 1t is wonderful how soon lit
tie thing obiterates or restores the prejudices of
our opponents They forgot, for instance, all their
ancient and recent objections to Mr. Benton-evcn
his expupging resolution and his hard-money pro-
iect-the moment he went for the forty par
allel. and not only forgot these things, but saw in
the man whom they had deprecated for years, a
statesman without spot or blemish. But since the
stern old Senator has taken his present bold stand
in favor of the war and the honor Of the country,
they regard him but as the victim of his passions
or his ambition, and as by no means W hat ne was
cracked up to bel If this ridiculous Inconsistent
cy does nothing else, it should show the people
how much Federal praise and censure is exactly
worth. Pennsyluanian
