Impartial View Of the Federal Policy.
We alluded Yesterday, in brief TERMS TO the manly and
patrotc tone of the Neutral Press Of the country,
aton to the war with Mexico In further illustration OF
this we give place to-day to the following temperatey
written but cogent rebuke of the reckless and treason
able efforts of the organs OF the Opposition to excite
Mexico to prolong hopeless contest with us, by sig
gestons at least not direct assurances of sympathy
and aid from the federal party in this country The ar
cle which copy is the leading editorial of the Balt
more Daily News of Saturday last
From the Baltimore Daily News
MEXICAN ArrAlRs.--lt is twelve months since
the commencement of hosities with Mexico, and, al
though our have been victorious upon every ieal-
though large extent OF the enemys country shed in mill
tary occuparon-alihough every port of importance is in
our possession, while her and is
kept under strict blockade yet but little evil
dence of returning peace. Indeed, fte manifesto
ohe dosy the citizens OF the State of San Luis and
the warke tone the Mexican journals are any evidence
we may fairly conclude that return peaceful relations
is policy little entertained by the powers that sway
the public mind of that country. Every defeat
10 rouse the people of that Inflated country renewed
Efforts The adoption Of the guerilla system of warfare
gems 10 indicate that the Mexcans determined
M the uermosi, and to make every inch of territory
which is occupied by forces the of snngunary
strife
Their entire ncapacity 10 cope with our troops ac-
knowledged in the adoption of guerilla warfare and the
losing game which Mexico has been playing since the
menccment of hosities is lesson that is not lost upon
her She her weakness and acknowledges it. 1t
then becomes pertinent question: Why prolong conflict
10 which she is clearly unequal |!
We cannot the conclusion that she Is awaiting
change of policy here, which may produce of feel
inc more favorable to her unreasonable demands than she
can hope obtain from the present administration Next
co not ignorant OF the delay that occurred in procuring
the passage Of the various bills for the prosecution of this
war at the late session Of Congress She has read the
speech Mr. Corwn, in which he depccaies the
an ungtcous one from Its inception to the present
menL
Mexican journals containing the motives thai sway the
people reach and may rest assured that own
newspaper productions eagerly sought after and read
BY Mexico, containing the evidence of the disposition OF
this country towards her She reads and draws hope that
those who sympathise with her amongst will yet be able
to do something by which she make favorable
than she expects under the existing government She
knows that Mr. Polk is ready open treaty with her
any she signifies her willingness treat, upon the
basis proposed in his message These that
suit her She wishes to treat upon basis that such
Mr. Corwn are likely to PROPOSE and she expects
thing may up, by which negontors such us these
may be broaght forward to conclude peace with her
We do desire say anything harsh against those who
thus said and comfort" the enemy but this policy pro-
longs conflict and haroens the Mexican in the connu-
ance of this
Let of our editors and other public but change
their course and show Mexico that she has nothing
pec bit jnsc, which will be meted to her by the admin
israon she signifies her willingness receive
it, and this will close The enemy knows and
acknowledges his weakness and nothing but The aid he
expects from the United States keeps him field Pre-
sen, bu, undivided front to the foe and the battlefield,
with its horrors, will pass away. The of certain o
,cal writers viii longer be disturbed byte OF
cannon and the rattle OF musketry The mistaken friends
Mexico The only persons who keep up this hope
less conflict Iftey wiz but cease to tell her that she has
friends here who sympahise with her msforunes the OBJ
fs which all desire will be attained. Mexico will
acknowledge her folly in having commenced the and
treaty will follow which will indemnify for all its
penses. No such Monterey will afford food
M Mr. Corwn's dramatic fancy. Mr.. Horace Greedy will
then be able TO give his undivided attention Forersn.
Spoaton of church property will starte of
citizens lest the days of vandalism should in the
nineteenth century. All hands viii be gated here, and
the political chieians of Mexico then murder and pill
age another, and yrannize their ilated country
