It is novelty to the people. The onl,

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

4 Wing National Convention has been
determined upon by the Wing Members
of Congress. This we are glad to hear.
We are glad because we believe it will
result in giving to the country Wing
President, and in overthrowing the cor
rupt minions of power. Of the distin-
guished Wings that have been named in
connection with that high Office, we will
not disguise that we have choice. The
greatest of living men. and the purest pat
riot of the age, is our first choice, as well
as of a very large number of Wings
throughout the Union. No man has
more OF warmer friends, and no man is
more deserving of the gratitude Of his
countrymen and of the friends of liberty
throughout the world. HENRY CLAY
would have been President long since, but
for the ingratitude ofhis countrymen. If
again brought forward as candidate,
have we any reason 10 believe that his
enemys have become less numerous, Of
more honest and conscientious than for
merry VIII their "aruIs in strength of
malice" be weakened, or will they be
likely to give over now the vindictive
pursuit of nearly quarter of a century ?
Nc. When the grave shall cover all of him
| that is mortal = when the carrion crows
! Of party, and other obscene birds that
have scared high in power and Toasted
and fattened by picking at his great name
for the lack Of their natural means OF
subsistence shall shrink away from the
sight of men to their hiding places in
caVeFns and cliffs of rocks until some other
illustrious name shall offer an imposing
feast, then will Justice be done to HEN
RI Cray.
After Mr.. Clay, GEN. TAYLOR is un
dOubtedIy, the choice of the creates

He has told the public that he was q

had the opportunity, he should have vo
ted for Mr.. Clay in 1914. His quaIifca
tons for the Presidency are not basec
alone upon his achievements at Palo AL
TO, Resaca, Monterey and Bucna Vista
We shall expect to see the Wings o
Wisconsin fighting under his banner il
the coming contest, and we cannot doubt
but the same leader that laid out the
MeXlcans " at Buena Vista. and who ha.
never sustained a defeat, Will lead Us tc
a glorious victory, over the combined loco

need not say, that am not in the hab-
If OF writing fer the newspapers. The let
ter was a familiar one, written 20 an old
military friend, with whom have been
for many years interchanging opinions On
professional subjects. That he should
think proper, under any circumstances,
TO publish it, could not have been fore
seen by me. In the absence of proof,
that the publication was made without
authority or knowledge, may be permit
ed to say, the quotation in your letter
from the 650th paragraph ofthe superse-
ded regulations of 1925, in which the
terms "mischivous and disgraceful'' are
employed to characterize certain letters
or reports, conveys though not openly, a
measure of rebuke, which, to say the
least, is rather harsh, and which many
think not warranted by the premises.
Again, [ have carefully examined the
letter IN question, and [ do not admit
that it is obnoxious to the objections urg-
cd in your communication. | see no.
thing IN it, which under the same circum-
stances | would not write again. To sup
pose that it will give the enemy valuable
information touching our posts or respec-
tive line of operations, is 10 know very
little of the Mexican sources of inform
alton, or of their extraordinary sagacity
and facilities IN keeping constantly APP
prlsed of our movement. As to my par
ticular views in regard to the general poll
icy to be pursued towards Mexico, I per-
ceive from The public journals that they
are shared by many distinguished men
also, in part, by conspicuous officers of
the navy, the publication of whose opin-
ions IS not, perhaps, INSTRUCTED by any
regulations of the department. is diff
ficult, then, to imagine how the diffusion
Of mine can render any peculiar aid to
the enemy, or especially disinclne him
to enter into negotiations for peace.
In conclusion | would say. it has Civ
en- me great pain to be brought into the
position in which / now find myself in
regard to the department of war, and the
government. It has not been of my own
seeking. To the extent of my abilities
and tne means placed at my disposal,
have sought faithfully to serve the coun.
try, by carrying out the rules and instruc,
lions Of the Executive bat it cannot be
concealed, that since the capitulation OF
Monterey, the confidence of the depart
ment, and, too much fear, of the Presi-
dent, has been gradually withdrawn, and
my consideration and usefulness cores
EpondingIy diminished. The apparent de-
termination Of the department to place me
IN an altitude antagoniSticQI TO the eoUern
naent, has an apt illustration in the wei
known fable of H1sop. ASK NO FAVOR

PEACE WITH MEXICO.

We have various rGmoFs upon the subject
of peace. 1t is said that Mr.. Trist and Mex
lean commissioners appointed for that pur-
pose have fixed upon terms Of peace. We
hope the rumor may prove true. 1t is time
this most unfortunate war was brought to Il
close. Enough has been done for glory
too much for humanity. Should this rumor
prove untrue, there is no predicting when we
may expect peace: and if the terms of the
rumored peace are such as were offered by
Mr.. Trist, and rejected by Mexico, we have
little faith that it viii last longer than until
our troops are fairly withdrawn from the
country. a treaty of peace dishonorable to
Mexico may be entered into by persons now
in authority, but it will not be observed; and
we have no doubt but this country will be IN
-voSed in the necessity of keeping a large
standing army on the Mexican frontier for
a long time TO come,

Dear Friend: In your letter dated Dec.
18th, 1917, read that man with halt sense
would see il. one moment that Priests in Mex
leo are perfect sensuaists in their habits; that
they are an idle, wicked set of men; that
they will smile upon a supplicating dog, and
pass by poor beggar without taking any no.
tice of him; that you do not know that they
could record single act of mercy; and then
you exclaiul upon the awful judgment that is
awaiting those who support them, etc.
| observe. dear friend. after perusing your
epistle, that you are kept so busy lighting the
poor Mexicans, marching from victory to vic
tory, and handling the swcrd so cleverly by
day and by night, that you are rather awk-
ward id handling the pen, so that we must
excuse you for dropping from it, ti4o' hurry,
something like swarm of plumbers. No
doubt your ambition is to gain the name OF
warrior and not that of grammarian-to gain
the laurels of Mars and not the crown of the
MUSES.. Far from me be the idea of challeng-
ing an American officer for impertecti0n Of
style, bat permit me, brave soldier, TO beg of
you 10 drop your arms for one moment, and
learn from your humble servant that there is
at least one instance recorded of a priest hay
