The Policy Of the Governments with Regard
% Mexico.

The dispatches received by the Government
from the seat of war do not give the slightest
hope of peace. Not the least encouragement
can be derived from the statements of the peace
commissioner with the army, and the Govern
m-nt places 80 little dependence upon the peace
propositions, that measures will be Immediately
taken to carry out the absorbing policy"
SO generally admitted to be the only course left
to pursue.
The negotiations carried on between the
commissioners of both Governments, during
the armistice, developed the policy of the Mex.
leans relative to ceding portions of their terri
tory, which was decidedly a new feature. 1t
was proposed to give the United States that por
ton Of Mexico known as New Mexico, provided
the people of that section agreed to come under
he Jurisdiction of the United States Govern
ment, to be .cided by vote taken on the ques
ton. This was of course refused, and negotia-
tons upon that point Withdrawn. The terms
proposed, and the course pursued by the Mexican
commissioners, and the movements of the Go
vernment while negotiations were pending and
the armistice continued in force, show pretty
clearly that they had not the remotest idea of
making peace The ultimatum of the Govern
ment Of the United States was pretty generally
known DeIOre the mexican commissioners were
appointed and negotiations commenced, and the
result of the conferences held, shows pretty con-
clusively the intentions of the Mexican Govern.
ment from the beginning.
The course we now intend pursuing in prose-
cutting the war, has been forced upon us by the
treachery Of the people with whom we are
brought In contact. We must, therefore, deal
with the Mexicans as with so many half-civ
Gzed beings; it must either be war of sub
jugation, or we must create such fear of us as
will force them into terms. There is no such
thing as getting anything out of the Mexicans
through favor; the better they are treated, the
more bitter their feelings against us. They
must be whipped into submission, and they will
like us much better for it. They are spaniels in
character and disposition. I'VE must ride over
them rough shed; grind them to the DUST place
the most onerous burdens upon them in the shape
of taxes; crush them in every way; and we shall
soon obtain whatever we may ask
If we pursue milder course, the war will
last an age, and nothing short of annexation
will bring 1t to close We shall have to absorb
and people the country, improve the natives, re-
volutlonize their institutions, and give it a 20.
vernment.

SOME OF THE HEROES OF THE Waive give
In another column brief sketches of several of
those who fell in the terrible battles fought in
capturing the capital Of Mexico. They will be
read with the greatest interest.
We announced yesterday the name of Major
Levi Twiggs, as being among the number of the
killed in the engagement before the gates of
Mexico on the 18th ult. The gallant MAJOR was
the brother of the worthy General Twiggs, and
father TO the lamented Lieut.. George Decatur
Twiggs, who so nobly fell at the Puente Nacional
on the 18th of August Major Twiggs distin-
Quished himself during the late war with Eng
land on several occasions, particularly on board
the Pennsylvania, and was taken prisoner. In
every position in which he was placed he show
ed himself worthy of the highest trust. He was a
man possessed of undaunted bravery, which was
coupled with discriminating judgment, without
which bravery is Of little Importance. He was
gifted with an unusual mind, and he did not ne
glect the talents which nature gave him. He
made mselfthoroughly familiar with the duties
of his profession, and of man, citizen, father,
husband and friend. He was ADMIRED and loved
by all who were fortunate enough to be under
his command. A more kind, humane offlcer
never lived. His constant aim was to render all
around him happy, and in this he was emlnently
successful
Our country has lost, in Major Twiggs, wor-
thy and devoted servant, who, from early man
hood, devoted himself to its welfsre with energy
and perseverance. Well may the State of Geor-
gia proudly claim him as one of her noblest sons;
and we'll may they mourn his sad decease. To
the family, consisting of an afflicted widow and
three devoted daughters, residing at the Phila-
delphia marine barracks, the loss is painfully
severe. Scarcely is it two weeks since they
were plunged into deep grief by the death of an
only son and brother, Lieut.. Geo. d. Twiggs;
but now the death of a husband and father is
added, to complete their affection.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-10-24

volunteers all the and more, We must be rsr-
h.itted to say that bravery is not science, and
that without discipline aud military skill, the
results of the camraign would not have been so
brilliant as they are.
