L see no prospect of a speedy termination Of
the Mexican War. However much to be de-
plored, it has now become matter of necessi-
ty to use more stringent measures with the
Mexican people. Hitherto the War has been
blessing rather than a curse in Mexico-pour-
ing, as ii has poured, the treasure CT our coun-
try into the laps of her people, and adding to
their comforts instead of increasing their bur
dens. To conclude Peace, the U. States must
recede greatly from her demands; Mexico will
never make Peace by greatly dismem boring her
territory; and she can carry on predatory War
Tor any length OF time--the character of her
country and the nature of her people enabling
her to do so with ease and at trihing expense
The idea OF subjugating her is utopian. The
most we can do is to hold her sea-ports,
and guard the Texas frontier. This, however
can only be done at vast expense of blood and
treasure, without prospect of indemnity, as
the internal wealth of Mexico belongs not to
her citizens, but it is in the hands Of foreign
ers, and consequently not available to the Uni
ted States for any purposes of Revenue
And beside, the amount which may be raised
by..a Tariffupon importsis much exaggerated
The long continued Prohibiting system has
either diminished the wants of the people as
to articles of Foreign growth, and Manufacture,
or their places have been supplied by products
of home industry. To attempt to raise money
by Internal Taxes, cedcontributions would
be fruitless, as their own Government has al
ready drained the Mexican People of almost
their last dollar, and it would take years of
National repose and active industry on the part
OF the People to put Mexico in condition to
support even home Government econorni-
cally administered. Political mountebanks at
Washington may prate as much as they
please about making Mexico herself bear the
burden of the War; the thing cannot be done
tits ofall impossibilities the most impossible.

He cannot know the human heart,
Who, when weaker brother errs,

We shall see curious political phenomena before
this session has passed. The wings determined to
thwart the administration and to carry their schemes,

We propose, in few days, to address the democratic
party upon the prospects before them.
II in the ranks of the republican party there are
several gentlemen, whose friends anxious to elect
10 the presidential chair, the wings can claim no ex-
emption in this respect; they also have some COM
petition among themselves, far more embarrassing
than our own Their situation is the more exciting,
perhaps, the more calculated TO distract Them because
they have two very prominent men TO divide their
feengs-one distinguished civilian, who has been so
long the champion and leader of the party the other a
general whose friends are availng themselves of his
military reputation 10 carry him into the presidency,
spite of their antipathy the war; which has created his
stoages, preensions, and running him "no-party
man." to carry out their party views. Admit then, that
in this respect neither party has the advantage of the
other yet in other respects we stand higher ground,
because our principles sounaer, and because the
wings are placing themselves in the wrong by siding
with a foreign enemy against their own country They
are accumulatng fre-coals upon their head, which
destined TO consume them.
But we must not waver nor sleep. We must rouse
ourselves to the hghes, pitch OF energy We must put
forth our whole strength against the opposition whilst
