Mr.. CaIhOun's speech,

We give on our first page the speech Of Mr..
Calhoun in the Senate, on the Mexican war.
We would call the attention of our readers to
an attentive perusal Of this document.
Without agreeing exactly with all the views
expressed by Mr.. Calhoun, he certainly has
given a most powerful and correct view of the
difficulties that surround this subject, nor do
we think that he has exaggerated them.
From the very commencement of hostilities
we have been in a false position as regards this
war. We have been constantly fighting her
constantly gaining brilliant victories and aC-
curing possession of more and more Of her ter
riIory, and yet always apparently receding from
the prospect of peace, and now as Mr.. Calhoun
observes, our very military success, in further
efforts to "conquer a peace," will render it i'm
possible to attain it.
We are, and always have been, utterly OPP
posed to the incorporation Of Mexican population
as American citizens, and we fully coincide
with Mr.. Calhoun in all he says on the subject.
dis views on this point are those of an able and
tar seeing statesman; such an addition TO our
population would be a curse instead Of a bles-
sing--they would never mix, never assimilate
with US, and though the idea Of Incorporating
all Mexico and destroying her nationality. is ut
present disavowed, we shall find that, if we
overrun the whole country; as appears to be
the present plan Of operations, we shall soon
see and hear Of advocates for absorbing all
Mexico.
On this point, however, we would wish to
place on record, for future reference, the fol-
lowing discIaimer, which we find in the'remarks
Of the Union, on Mr.. Calhoun's speech:
"Thero was one chimera which afFected Tho
whole Of his argument. He is alarmed at the
prospect Of annexing the whole Of Mexico to
the United States, with population OF seven
or eight millions Of people, who are unfit to
participate in the benefits Of our free institu.
tiens. The President has particularly dis.
claimed such a scheme. No member of Con.
gress has avowed il. There is not the highest
prospect of its accomplishment for years to
come, # ever. There is no danger OF our gras-
ping the whole OF Mexico as our arms subdue.
the different states or cities There is not the
slightest fear Of our officers or trOops, acting
upon their own impulses, and presuming to
dictate q new line OfpOlicy to their government.
No men were ever more obedient to the laws
under which they serve, and less willing to ex.
change their " country for the valleys Or
mOuntainso Mexico.
"Ihe President has declared his ANXIETY to
maintain the nationality Of Mexico. He IS as
little disposed to blot Mexico from the map Of
the world as Mr.. Calhoun himselfY
If, as il seems to be admitted, we must bovs
territorial indemnify to some extent, let us,bsp
take Il in such parts as are blessed with little
or no population. This we can find in the
Northern portions Of New Mexico and on The
Pacific. We do not care for any portion Of .be
former, as we really do not want more territory
than we now have, but a portion Of California

But, for US to receive Mexican territory with
Mexican population, as an Indemnify, would be,
ia our opinion. about as v Use as for a hungry
man to receive as a boon, a poisoned dinner.
The latter e%ntailing physical, as The former
would political disease, or probably political
death to our Union.
Mr.. Calhoun, we think, is also right in his
pecuniary views, as regards the probable diff
Guilty in procuring the needful funds in prose-
cutting this plan of conquering a peace.' The
situation Of affairs in Europe, forbids the hope
that we can negotiate any of our loans there,
and the heavy amount which will be required
cannot be procured in this country, without
great Inconvenience and a probable money
crisis; particularly, if under the heavy imPOr-
iatlon Offoreign goods (that is a matter Of such
s~enseless Boosting on the part Of the admin
%istration Organs), the present high rate Of for
eign exchange, and the consequent foreign
drain Of specie, should be continued both for
Europe and Mexico. 1t is very clear, if the
war is to b. continued, under the present heavy
expenditure, that the needlul amount of loans
cannot be procured, except unfavorable terms,
unless some measures are adopted t. increase
very materially, the present revenue, eitheFby
q direct tax, internal duties, or an increase oi
the tariff.
We were opposed to the plan Of Penetra-
ting to the interior Of Mexico from the sea
coast; but after having expended such a vast
amount of blood and treasure in reaching and
capturing the capital, we think it would be to
say the least, a very doubtful policy to abandon
it, and withdraw to the seaports. We should
prefer the plan Of holding the city with strong
line of garrisons at proper intervals to Vera
Cruz, and for which the present force now un
der Gen. Scott would be sufficient.
On that point we differ from the opinion Of
Mr.. Calhoun, but his views generally coincide
with our own, and he places the subject in a
very pain and strong point Of view. We will
close our present remarks by again recommends
ing his speech to a close and attentive p%erusaI.

CoURT or IEoUlRY.-The following is the
opinion Of the Court in the matter Of General
Worth. The Court consisted Of Gems. Quit
man, Twigga and Smith;
OPMIoN.-"That, regarding the remarks of
the General-in-Ch dated June 18th, inst ,
endorsed upon the translated copy of a letter
from the Mexican Judge, Duran, to Major Gen.
Scott, dated the 10Th June inst. as aypotheti-
cal and applicable only to claims urged by, the
Mexican authorities, which The General-in-
Chief at the time Of his remarks, supposed to
DO "without authority and which Brevet
Major Gen. Worth insists were not conceded
BY any Of his official acts-the court can per-
ceiye Aothang in the remarks of the General-in-
chief TO which Major Gen. Worth could proper
ly take exception.
The court is further Of opinion, that the
terms Of stipuIations granted by Breyet Major
Gen. Worth to the functionaries Of the city of
PuebIa upon his entrance with the advanced
corps Of the army into that city on the 18th
Of May last, were unnsessearly yielded, and
in effect, detrimental to the public services
And that the grant Of these privileges was in

Of General Orders Nd. 20 published, at Tampi-
60 on the 10Th day Of February last, and was
not uarranted BY the letter Of instruction Of the
GeHera.in-Chie to Gen. Worth.
The court, as required, further declares it's
opinion that the "eireulaT'' published by Be
vet Major Gen. Worth, to his division, dated
Puebla June 10, l847, was highly improper and
extremely Objectionable in many repects, es-
pscially as il might tend. by exasperating the
whole Mexican nation, to thwart the well
known pacific policy Of the United States, and
in view Of the high source from which it eman-
ated, to disturb the friendly relations Of our
Government with Spain, or at least give occa-
