THE WAR.

The continued irfatuation and obstinacy Of
Mexico, in rejecting the oive-branch Of peace,
though on every field she has been crushed by our
power, has turned public attention TO the problem
OF the best policy to be pursued in order to secure
The objects we had in view, in the prosecution OF
war wantonly thrust upon us. We have already
referred TO various schemes OF policy, and desire
TO keep our readers advised oflhe views of these
whose talents and position ought TO give weigh, 10
their opinions. There is no doubt, in our mind
that The war has been conducted with too much
enily and forbearance towards the besotted peo-
pie Of Mexico, who ignorantly mistake our kind
ness for limidily and vaciaion. Our true po-
Icy, il strikes US, is TO make the nation, with
whom We are al war, defray all The expenses OF
the war. BY no other means can the people, and
the rulers OF Mexico, be made 10 feel the fatal
misch:efs of their obstinate refusal 10 listen to
terms OF peace. With these views, We refer 10
the policy proposed by General Patterson and
other officers just returned from Mexico. Ac-
cording 10 the Picayune, it is their opinion that
the probability OF conqueriLg peace upon the
plan of warfare hitherto pursued, is slender in
deed. II is thought BY them, that an army Of
forty thousand, rank and file, should be in The
field; that captured cities should be put under The
jurisdiction OF American citizens; that the reve-
nues of The State should be seized 10 defray the
expenses Of The war that all the resources per-
tanning TO the Government should be held as
spoils OF war; and that the military authority Sc,
up by the Uni.ed States army should exercise all
the powers of taxation and legislation belonging
10 the civil administration OF the country. This
plan embraces the idea of actual conquest and
absolute jurisdiction, and is deemed the only tea
sible ose of bringing The warto close.
at is The belief of Gen. Patterson and others
who have given the subject large consideration.
that an authority embracing nil The necessary al
tributes Of sovereignty, SCI up in Mexico, could
collect revenue equal TO its wants; and that The
people OF that country can alone be brought 10
their senses by The exhibition OF sach an auiho-
riy To permit the alcade 10 use his func-
tons in a captured city, or the native civil ma
gis,racy TO conduct public affairs, is keeping an
enemy in power who will be surely conlriving
against the army. This system has been prodnc-
tive OF hurt wherever il has been tried in MEXICO,
and experience demands lis abandonment.
"A military government, administered upon CT
vized principles, il is cunlendcd, would be pre-
erabe 10 The one now existing in Mexico. II
would be more acceptable 10 The taxpayers, il is
supposed than the present arbitrary and vacilla,-
ing one II would be able 10 maintain itself with
out greater exac'ions than the country is accus-
toned 10 BEAR and nigh in The end leave the peo-
pie in te!ter Condition 10 govern themselves
an3 ,I %yo n These ideas seem plausible,
in some OF the captured States"

strength to their political principles, by their pre-
mature nomination OF General Taylor. II
The Baton Rouge exponent OF his opinions be
correct, General Taylor's views on The Tariff
harmonic with The Democratic party; and
if he be run as neutral candidate, The
measures of the Democratic party, now in opel
ration, will be continued in force, or at least not
modified or repealed, until they have been fairly
tried by The nation. We advise the Wing pa
pers, that have been so eager to run up The flag
OF Gen. Taylor, 10 take the back track until they
find that ne is a Wing on all The questions of The

CEN. scorT,S POSITION.

The Picayune expresses The opinion that The
return of the twelve months volunteers (3OO0)
has embarrassed Gen. SCOTS plan of marching
Immediately upon the city Of Me1ico-thal The
force left with him is too small 10 enter The capt.
tai of a populous Stale with safely-thal "Gen.
Scott will push forward TO Puebla; but beyond
this he will scarcely 60 ill reinforced, unless he
he invited there b. the discussions Of the enemy
in that case he will he prompted more by The de-
enceess state OF the city than by The strength III
his own column"
The Delta, on the other hand, presents very
different picture and one, we doubt not, better JUS
tilted by the facts. In no event, however, have
we any fears for the brilliant success of General
SCOTS march upon The city of Mexico. Histwo
great military Achievements have struck panic
into The hearts oil the Mexcans, and however they
may buster, they will make but a feeble resis-
lance 10 The victorious progress OF our arms. The
Delta says
ITO supply he place Of the seven regiments Of
old volunteers, discharged by Gen. Scott, there
will shortly be en- route Tor his DIVISION al least
four thousand of The new ten regiments. There
are now about TWO thousand men OF this force on
the Rio Grande, under Gen. Cadwallader, who
has opened a school OF instruction, and is pro-
ceeding with great vigor and energy IN The dlsci-
pline Of these new troops. The orders, We eX-
pect, are now on the way from The War Depart
ment, directing Gen. Cadwallader to embark as
soon as possible, with his whole command, Tor
Vera Cruz. In addition 10 these, there are now
10 his city, and on The way at least Two thousand
men, who will no doubt have similar destna-
lion. These, with the recruits for the old Reg.
menls considerable number of whom have also
been raised TO fill up the ,hinned ranks OF our
veteran corps, will give Gen. Scott an available
force of five thousand men, of quality equal 10
any that has YET been sent to the war. He will
thus be able 10 push on to The Capital with COL
umn OF Ten thousand strong, and nobler army
never went forth TO battle. The best spirits OF
The land are in the ranks oil that column No
nation ever raised an army, which included SO
large portion Of the chivalry, gallan,ry and
skill o! the very best OF its people With such an
army and under such a General, what American
will ever fear TO trust the honor OF our country
and the safety OF our fag2"
