There is one sentiment in which we agree with the

sponsbility is now, great extent placed upon them
But the sentiment which we should press upon them
would beat all events despatch the military arrangei

that both houses of Congress will vote the necessary sup

not call in question their public spirit or their discretion
by contrary supposon They will grant the supplies,
in order to prosecute the with spirt the sooner
men and money are voted therefore, the better. The
operaons of the last campaign retarded by the de-
Law which took place in the last Congress on the passage
Of the tenregment bill In saying this, we beg leave TO
exclude one conclusion We have disposition to cut
off the wings from debate on the war; We are aware
that this battle must come; and the democrats pre-
pared to meet it. But is it not better to select some other
ground for debate than the supply bllsparticuary the

not be hoped that the preparations for the war may be

We had expected from him development of his opinions
upon rendering his resignation member OF the House

disposition he prevented from making the develop
ment which was so generally desired and expected AS
no opportunity may be furnished for time for any
public expressions by Mr. Bell deem it excusable in
us to refer to his position he understood to have de-
fined in free and frank conversation, both before and
after his election In making this reference, not
assuming to speak for Mr. Bell, his authority, but
shall merely state the common impression made upon
the public mind.
Iii understood that the late speech and resolutions Of
Mr. Clay far they favor the idea OF fixing bound
airy Texas without regard to indemnity for past injuries
and the expenses OF the war, meet with Mr. Bells de-
cided opposition that he the contrary. maintains the
proprety and importance Of holding possession of much
of the conquered territory embracing New Mexico and Up
per California will constitute ample indemnity and
that treaty of peace securing such indemnify would
ceve his cordial support The only embarrassment which
could be thrown in his way, as it is understood, might
arise from the adoption by Congress OF the Wmot Pro-
vso In that event. not able to say what course
Mr. Bell is understood to have determined upon He is
confidently said be in favor of territorial indemnity
but we have not understood whether he would be will
ing to take the indemnity incumbered with prohibition
against slavery.
We state these the Impressions prevailing here as to
Mr. Bells position; but repeat that they are not au

Of our claim and of the claim of Texas to the boun-

letter against the fact that the
Rio Grande was the well-known boundary OF Ancient
Texas purchased by us from France in the louisiana

out of the fact that on the very same month and
almost by the same act, she made her boundary OF
