what our friend across the water think OF this
War of ours with Mexico, at the same time that
they show no disposition in any way to inter
fere with or to obstruct it. The following
paragraphs will serve to enlighten them on this
head:
From the London " Times"
sBut the moment we arrive at this point We
are met by various political considerations, pc
cular to the institutions of the United States,
which render the solution of the questions ex-
tremely complicated. Mr.. Polk undertook
this war on his own account, and it has prov
ed TO be the principal affair of his Presidency.
The attraction of military adventure and the
pride of military success have induced the peo-
pie of the United State to endorse his bill and
to recuit his armies, and We have accordingly
seen the Chief Magistrate of what was once the
model of pacific Governments indulging him
self in the royal luxury of bloody war. All
this may be Of some temporary advantages so
dearly bought by the nation will prove fatal to
those who have speculated in them, unless the
burdens of the war can be terminated with this
campaign, and unless this campaign can be
closed with an amount of success sufficient tc
screen the enormous injustice ofthe invsion.
Sin the present state ofpublic opinion in the
world, we should have thought it extFaordina'
ry ifthe most absolute of Europeans Sovereign'
had dared embark in such a war; but that a
man, temporarily invested with alimitedpow
er like that of the President of the United
States, should, by his own will and pleasure
have plunged his country in such series o
endorsements, Is, without exception, the
most extraordinary event which has ever oc
CURED in the history of any modern republic
The sequel viii show whether the mere pres
tlge of military achievements is sufficient t.
overthrow all the principles on which tn
Constitution of the United States is professet
to be founded"
