will require stronger arguments than those of the Bull

people OF this country that there is anything wrong in tns
II there be any movement of American citizens to-
wards the region of the Sierra Madre in contemplation the
Delta contends that is of the peaceabe character here
dicated. We know however, nothing more of the mat
ter than the Delta discoses AT any rate in view of
present relations with Mexico, deem utterly absurd
to doubt that our government will do its whole duty in
the premises.
But there is another point in the Detas revelations on
the nellgencer as likely TO defeat the design of that
journal to manufacture political capital for Gen Taylor
out of these vague and unsubstantiaed of an
illegal military expedition into Mexico In further reply
to the Bulletin, the Delta thus fixes the political character
and connexions of this plan organization, be it real
imaginary, legal or illegal. peaceabe or warke. The
Delta says:
''We will tell the editor what according his usual rate
.f
ofhe pery frst not the chief in the Sierra Madre
noreu,,nt is int,mate personal and political friend Of
Gen Taylor He IS democrat, unless all Who fauor The
erteasion of cic-aon and republication democrats
He is certainly not q Cass and Butler Democrat"
Seeing thus that whatever is going is going
der good ,chig auspices-not mprobaby with the knowl
edge or approval of General Taylor himselfwe trust
that the Intelgencer may find its dismal apprehenslons
somewhat cheered up and that it will at least rejoice
with in the undoubng conviction that neither vigil
lance energy, sincere desire to preserve the
peace of the two countries, will be wanting to our gov
eminent to insure the performance of all the duties in
aton to this matter which imposed upon it by the
laws OF the land and by treaty siipulations
Postscript.
The above article was prepared for paper of yester
day Since 1t put type we have received the New
Orleans National and the ST. Louis Republican, both OF
them containing statements with regard to the character
of the movement towards the Sierra Madre, which
are directly in conflict with the above statement
of the Delta. We do not for ourselves undertake
to decide between these dscordant representations but
we observe thai the Republican itself bears the follow
ing testimony the ustworthness of the Deltas deca-
rations upon the subject:
'sThe Delta has been intimately acquainted, if not di
ecy connected, with the movement, and It's statements
may be regarded as semi official"
With regard to the statements of the National in so far
they go to charge upon the government any connex
ion whatever with this transaction, whether it turn out
to be wing democratic legal illegal in its charac-
ter and in far they mpute to the government any
connivance consent to- any movement of an unlaw
full character, all infringing the obligations of the
treaty of peace with Mexico have only TO repeat the
positive denial which we have already made to these
charges when presented in the columns of the New Or
leans Bulletin and the National Intellgencer
