il cannot have escaped the notice Of
any reader Of modern European Literal
turc, that most foreigners hate the man
nrr< and customs, the laws and the ins,l-
buttons, the principles aud the practice,
and all the works and ways of this coun-
itrv. The Enghsh are specially distin-
Ieliishcd in this respect. Their Fcrrona,
an! Murrays, and Marryatts, and Buck
inghanS. and Dickenscs, and the whole
tribe of the I'roJIopes. flock into tAiscoun-
| try, lIv0yer some half dozen States, make
partial survey Of the surface of
thjnss, and then scatter their counterfeit
notes broadcast over all lands. But Just
. let au American publish a book on the
..Giory and shame Of EnrInnd.' Then
/ will the British Reviewers think they
lowe an apology to their readers ifthryI
do not make critiquc OF the book the.
means of pouring out upon This country
their digested call.
The reason OF this is obvious and PLAIN
to every mind. They are iudisposcd to
hyal Of the millions OF paup,rs who Ike
brute hcasts are hodIIed together in their

will consent to initiate the Parliament of

the stretch Of imagination-thcy would
only pour oil upon the fire OF a peoples
indignation, and increase the excitement
which they would probably desire to see
aSsua@ed.
What are the objects ofthe War? The
people ask this question, now that Con-
grcss is in session, expecting an answer,
not from the President, but from their
immediate representatives.. Our treasure
Is spent, our blood is poured forth-ior
what! We have right to know for
what and know we will. Where is it
proposed to lead us, the people, To
what strange projects are we bound bv
our servants Surely we have not, in
the lapse oftwo brief years forfeited the
right to know our own concerns, to think
and speak and act upon them; and if not
why this mystery! Are we of Venice
or OF America What means this secre-
cy! Are the people not to be trusted!
Must they be driven blindtold into any
policy marked out by the administrations
Those who hope to carry out this scheme
notable though it be, know little OF the
American character.
Are we idiots and alaves that we must
fight on, pay on, sufi,r on, in the dark as
to the projects Of our monarch The
people wW know what are the definite
objects for which this war is prosecuted.
They look to their representatives.. If
the executive, shrouded in the majesty
of mystery, dares to veil his designs FROM
the people, the people demand that Con.
gress should define the objects Of the
war and determine upon what basis it
may be terminated. They expect sun
plies to be granted in any neodjI nca-
sure but subject TO the will Of the rep
resentatives of the people as ta .hair 49,

From tie National Wing
We said yesterday that the Presidents
message was the weakest document that
we have ever seen from his hands - weak
as they generally are. To-day we re-
ilcratc that opinion.
Asa specimen OF composition it does
the writer or writers no credit whatever
Its style is feeble and unfinished. The
structure of the sentences is offensive to
correct taste, and frequently in violation
of the most ordinary rules OF good writ
inc. The author or authors do not APP
pear to have a clear perception Of the
THINGS about which he or they are wri-
t;nr. and CONSEQUENT obscuritv prlvadcs
whole passages. It is dl%oInted and
hears the par-marks of different veal;
mind, TOO plainly to be mistaken. There
is no attempt at harmonizing conflicting
opinions. Discrepancies occur through

The ultimate subiu-alion OF all Mexico is
50 grossly papable, as the aim and object
Of the President; it is so interviewer with the
texture OF his suggestions, that without +"
recognition Of the fact the language Of the
Message becomes most exquisite nonsense.
We alc warning against Mexico says the
President. Ito obtain redress for he wrongs
she has done us and indemnify for OH Just
demands" But the aggregate q redress
and indemnity, officially computed by MIR
Commissioner TRrsT, amounted precisely
10 the territory which lie President nov
advises Congress 10 take and hold. Then
we are paid--dro we not. I'VE demand

the yeruacular Of lie official Journal, "and
hat peace must bring with i, indemnify for

we not 90, indemnity loy the past IN the
territories Of New Mexico and California!
The Message certainly says that no more
was demanded Then it is security for
the futureD we are now 10 fight Tor,
Ii is plain however, that the President
now conempates additional indemnify;
and as he declares that Mexico can pay in
nothing but land, it is equally plain that he
contemnlates additional annexation, lie
would raise new armies of regulars and
volunteers, pour INTO Mexico fresh forces;
