The New York "Courier" thus remarks,
respecting the new loan of eighteen millions
proposed by Government:
The Committee OF Ways and Means have de-
termined TO report bill authorizing loan for
eighteen millions OF dollars. at per cent, il it
can be negotiated at par. This is right. So long
as the Sub>1reasury is in existence, it would be
ruinous to the country 10 authorize another issue
OF Treasury Notes upon the same conditions as
the law of last year. And &c. too, if they are 10
permit the Secretary Of The Treasury to sell the
loan below par. He would, if necessary, sell it
at ninety, and Immediately all the specie ia our
banks would be removed 10 the Sub>Treasury
and general bankruptcy would follow. We hope,
therefore, that the representatives Of the people
would be firm, and resist any loan except at six
per cent, and limited to par, until the SUBJ
Treasury be repealed.
One of the editors Of the Courier writes
from Washington:
1.-THE absorption of MEXICO is becomeing the
GREAT question Of the day, with the rapidity and
explictness which six months ago would have
been deemed incredible and absurd. 1t will not
be left to future agitation ard decision. 1t is to
be pressed upon the instant attention Of the peo.
Pile, and their action upon it will be forthwith
demanded. In my letter OF a few days since. |
gave some OF the grounds which induced the belief
that at some, not distant, time the issue would be
made. 1t is made already and party lines will
be drawn accordingly, from this time forward
The would be leaders Of the Locofoco party are
looking 10 it, as the lest OF their faith, and the
ground of their hopes.
"Mr Badger has shown that the President has
changed his ground essentially upon this subject.
And all the signs Of the political times show that
before the Presidential canvass of next November,
the proposition will be distinctly made, to annihi
late the nationality of the Mexican republic, and
merge her existence, by force, in that Of the Uni.
ted States!
"This is my sad, but my honest Conviction
The grand, transcendant crime OF Selling by con-
guest, and holding by force, an entire republic
is deliberately chosen as a means of acquiring
power, and that by the leaders Of the party te
which the people have entrusted the administra
ton Of their government. It is shameful spec
tacle--one which may we'll cause every lover o
his country 10 blush--one which is calculated Il
make US the scorn Of the just, throughout the
world.
"Mr. Webster has expressed his intention o
taking an early opportunity to speak upon tht
bill now before the Senate. 1t is not probable
that such an opportunity will occur before tht
latter part Of next week. An exposition~of thu
morality and legality, upon the principles Of in
,ernational law, Of the conquest and adoption o
Mexico, may be expected from him. But it may
well be doubted whether such an exposition, how
ever clear and however imperative, would, will
those who are plotting the scheme, have any
weight against even the suspicion that it would
even make them popular"

The Court of Inquiry.


The news of the ratification of the treaty by
Mexico, has put a new phase upon the Court Of In
quiry, now sitting here. Generals Cushing and
Pillow are now de facto citizens-their commits
sions being merely during the war. The sword
of GIDEON will turn into pen again, and his mill
tary exploits will be allowed to vanish into the
tomb of all the Capulets. OF course, the Presiden
cannot inform the generals Of the fact until he re-
ceives official ratification of il himself; but IL -
to be hoped that day not far distant. The whole
proceedings present spectacle to be regretted by
every American. II is in vain to say that General
SCOTS l-treatment is the work of Mr. Polk-he
is the recognized head of the nation-and, as
nation, the disgraceful acts OF tyranny are ours.
Ii is painful sight to see the old hero OF almost
hundred fights compelled, towards the close OF ms
glorious career to defend himself against charges
and inuendos made out by lazy official at his
case, whilst the old hero was engaged In crown
ing with renown our military annals.
AT n stump meeting in Washington, not many
DAYS AGO heard one of the orators declare that
MI Secretary Marcy had annihilated Gen. Scott
with letter, and that II Gen. Taylor became trou-
b.some he could be settled in a similar manner
IL Is possible that in the noble art OF quibbng the
Secretary may have the advantage; but the people
of the United States can discriminate between me-
r thus acquired and the PLAIN truths of the honest
soldier.
see it stated that Mr. Clay's and Judge McI.ean's
friends are going to unite in the convention IN Ia
vor of Gen. Scott, going upon the PRINCIPE; sup
pose thalhe ls a double hero, not only OF Mexico,
but of Lundy's Lane whereas Gen. Taylor IS only
half as much hero. | scarcely credit the an
nouncement The wings must be pretty well con-
vnccd that their votes alone cannot carry the cleo
ton, and there Is no other man but Gen. Taylor
who can carry any considerable number OF " out
sders." The question which the convention will
have TO decide, will be whether il is better to have
Cass or TAYLOR for President, and opne that OF
two evils they'll choose the least. DLARcH'
