The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1848-01-11

From MEXICO.
We have received file of the 80 North American, .
printed in the city of Mexico from the Sd of November
to the 18th December They have been SO much Cleaned
by the New Orleans papers, to leave very little tc
select We find the following in the american" of the
last named date. 1t has already appeared In the New
Orleans papers
"OSoE aoRE.-Senors Cuevas, Atrsain, and Coulo the
Mexican peace commissioners, still in the city. we
hear, but of effect nothing 1t is said that
thoy will go Washington long Santa is
the country The government dare pay their
penses would the commissioners dare go there and
make treaty; for the Napoleon of the West may turn up
again day and then President Anaya and the com
tnissioners would be shot. Oh, what deporabe condi
ton have this people reduced themselves TO 20
railroad has been projected from Mexico 10 Vera
Cruz, and line OF telegraphs to Tampco
The North American" is full of articles upon the
"amy difficulties" We have forbone any notice of
these army feuds No more regrets them. No one
distinctly the mischefs they calculated
to produce, both abroad and at home in cheering
up the enemy in Mexico, and in dislracng the friends
Of these officers in the United States. Why these
quarrels? No army in the world reaped more
glory in the same time. 1t seems almost literally a
band of heroes. They have earned laurels enough
grace the largest army which Europe has brought
is honor enough to satisfy the most ambitious
among them Whether one has gained little more
than another is OF small consequence, since there
is enough for all But is il not most unfortunate,
that after they have all covered themselves with
glory, they should wind up their brilliant campaign
with little feuds and perhaps unworthy jealouses,
that detract from the credit OF the whole' These
feuds must be arrested, or else the operations OF
the war must be mpeded, and the public service must
suffer We leave it to the wisdom and the patriotism
of the administration to pursue that which is
best calculated subserve the interests OF the country
and the vigorous prosecution of the war
We cannot orbear laying before readers the fol-
lowing eloquent extract from the "North American on
this subject and, for the present. leave the ungra-
cious topic
sA little army of American soldiers, differed by brave
men trod any portion OF Gods Observation-Disclosures
that impulse but love OF country, and word but
victory-entered the heart Of foreign State vanqushed
its armies and placed their banners upon its pta There
in that army very many who may be classed among
of the bravenone who do not deserve well
their country In the sangunary struggles that encirced
our national esoutcheon with halo of glory and twned
around of every soldier mperishable wreath
there was officer of rank who did deeds
that will shine brightly when all of him that is mortal shall
have become portion Of his mother earth And most OF
all our generals the heroic chettans who have led
brothers through those fields Of iron seeteds
ted by the fall many gallant spiets, and baptsed by
as rich blood coursed through the veins of
chiefs who outrivaed the chvarc prowess Of the Knights
of the Cross and whose Names sued in the hearts
grateful people, will live beside those of the who in
the battles Of the American revolutions astonished the world
by their splendid achievements and by their bravery and
devotion country stamped the impress of their great
spirits letters ofeemal light upon Fames glorious tablets
"And these had hearts that beat quickly with the
sympahies of home and friendships such the truly brave
only know Next their God, they thought of those the
far NORTH whose bosoms wrung with unrelieyed
pense-wh hopes and doubts and fears and longnps for
single word OF comfort And these men, allied, sent
to those relatives and hends by the swest
the Joyous dings that the storm of battle had passed
they lived They spoke, too not with the detail Of after
reports thrice revised yet with honest prideo the
participate and hastily recounted the brilliant charge the
desperate Defence The thousand harbreadth scapcs
the crowning victory. Oh! these hastily penned missiles
carried 10Y thousand aching hearts, and made thou
sand fresdes--tcho can tell how happy"

"We have spoken thus at length, because desire to
place the whole subject before the people of the United
States and we have endeavored speak impariay
respectfully. That enter into discussion of the
propriety or improperly of the conduct of any of the
officers named is obvous-that have no desire to- il
most true. No regret than we do the
sity which conpes to name any Of the occurrences
above recited yet will frankly speak of in
Justice to individuals tho army than have ant

much feeling and have nothing add that head save
to repeat that the people will at last turn the oca

organ of party, may be singular but if refrain iron
