OF that city,) must be one of the veriesi wags in

They did so; and ashy looking sell of
fellows than were those in the minority was

A NEW POINT IN THE GAME

n NEW FUN i in HE GAME.
The report that proposition TO withdraw our
army from Mexico, as preliminary step to new
offer of peace. is about TO be made TO Congress,
comes through varous channels We trust that
this proposition will receive little favor in Congress-
and are sure of lis receiving none from the people
The objections against it are numerous. hut two
or three of the principal are amply sufficient for
lis condemnation
The Mexicans would make no peace upon such
terms. An ignorant people. ruled by pompous
and arrogant government. that always speak off

granted that our retrogade movement was prompt.
ed by cowardce, and consciousness of our weak
ness; and upon this assumption they would refuse
10 make peace, bui would continually maintain a
predatory war upon our frontier. Thus we should
endure the expense of a war in blood and money
without the advantage of repulsing the enemy
and with the odium of cowardice And this re pu-
taon of flying before Mexico would excite all the
Indians upon DOR frontier, and greatly impede The
settlement of any more territory West of the
Mississippi.
But in what light would such step exhibit us To
Europe2 In that Of factious, distracted, cow
ardly people, either rushing forced into war
and in either case tamely retrealing from IL when
our enemy became seriOns. II would thoroughly
disgrace us. and invite aggression from every
nation disposed to speculate upon our supposed
weakness; species of specula ion not un CON mon

lightened of The European people, who now be
