country. The expenses Of these 10000 troops will

from Mexico, by customs and direct taxes, besides

Vera Cruz Eagle, Aprl22.
We have taken the pains to republish the above
extracts from the two leading journals in the conf
dence Of the Administration one under the
nose Of the President himself and the other under
the eye of the COMMANDMENTS Chief Of the Army Of
the United States-for the express purpose of letting
our readers see the real object Of this war against
Mexico. II has been repeatedly charged that the
real policy Of the Administration was to get posses
sion Of the whole of Mexico, and with a view TO it's
entire suhjugaton, to make the war, war of races
and Of religion. This charge has been stoutly de-
MED by the Administration presses and leaders, until
there is no longer any necessity for denying it. 1t
Is now openly avowed by the Union in the extract
which we have made from lis leading article of
Tuesday night that such is the policy of the govern
ment If words can express the design of the Ad-
ministration in this particular more decidedly, we

SEIZURE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH PRO-
PERTY In MEXICO DETERMINED ON
BY MR.. POLK.
Il is not as religious body, but as an engine Of
state, that the Catholics OF Mexico look upon us
with hostile eye. II is for their own special po-
litical purposes-to retain their vast possessions
which impoverish the nation--to sustain their
own hierarchy, which lords it over the peope-to
preserve their power, which weighs down the rest
of the community into the slough Of ignorance and
slavery-that they are thus solicitous and active
IT is zeal for the mammon of unrighteousness-
not for the welfare of souls-which inspires and
animates the Catholics Of Mexico.
8. In this aspect of the case, it may become mat
ter of grave consideration if the church continues
whether the immense revenues Of the church in
Mexico shall be left Observation-Disclosures they
shall be suffered to remain at the disposal of the
enemy, and to be applied to sustain the war against
us<whether justice and policy do not equally die
tate that they should at least be sequestered during
the continuance Of the war as legitimate means
of cutting off the enemy's supplies.
The experience we have already had on this
point leads to another suggestion. Cannot Mexico
be prevailed upon to adopt more tolerant sys-
tenn? Could not the two nations agree that reci-
procal stpulations should be made, for the free
and unrestricted enjoyment of religious liberty
within the territories of both nations' Indepen-

doubted whether such an arrangement would not
be productive of advantages to both countries,

for preserving trees from the ravages of in

in placing two rings, one. Of copper and the
other OF zinc, attached together, around the
