A LETTER FROM THE HON. J.R-
. , POINSETT, ,v,
Slate$burg, (S. C.) Dec 12, 1847.
My Hear Brt In cempliince with your
request, and in coofermitj with my pro
mise, I have determined to give you very
brivfly my views en the all engrosing topic
of th day. I was detsined later trun I
eiperted In ba in Colombia, and have
only th President's Mesisre and th
Rrpnrt of the Srceelsry of Wsr and am
surprited to perceive that they persist in
recommending a coarse of policy which
will lesd to still furth-r useless expendi
ture of blued and witl finally has to be
abandoned. With th reasoning nn the
subject of the acquisition of territory 1
have nothing to do especially aa th Pres-
regret snd my firm conviction that these
territot'itorial acquisitions will not add to
oar atrength nr prosperity. ;
The rrcommendalton that most serious
ly a Isrms me ia conlolatned in the para
grsph where the president says there ean
be no doubt that there exist a peace party
in (Mexico & that it may become expedient
for our commanding generals to give as
surance of protection ta such a pnj in
shorty to create a party , nuke peace - with
it and guarantee it ia the possession of
power. Nothing csn be more chimerical;
nothing could be more inner are than
the execution of such a project were
it practicable. 8uch a party would
besr no proportion to the nation,
and the members of it would require to be
protected from public indignation and van
!;rance for long years to come, by a force not
ess formidable than that now in the eoaa
try without the chance of any indemnity
or the power of ley iog contributions of any
sort. If the pesce government should
ar,ree to pay and subsist their protectors,
they must, from the nstare ef things, fsil
to do either, Prsy, save as the disgrsce
ofutowptfrrfWtrWlB
attempt might lead to an intervention of a
different sort, that would possibly prove
more successful. The President is sppre
hensive of foreign interference, firtt in
California and next in the establishment
of s roonsrchy in Mexico. There is not
the slightest risk of the former and if the
Mexican people are leu to themelves, no
chsnce ef the latter. They were so en
tirely republican in 1822? that I did eot
hesitate confidently to foretell the down
fall of Iturbide. ' They are much more
so now, and no scheme of thst , sort could
hsve even momenisry sucress unless the
leaders considered it as the only chance
of 'opposing us. There exists a strong
monarchical party, strong, in wealth and
station the Priests, ihs former amstocra
cy and the adherents of Spsin, We may
drive the numbers under their banners.
Still the President is wrong; oar armed
intervention might bring on at a powerlal
foreign foe' but eoald not prevent
the evil; whereas, if w hold back, my
life for it a monarchy would not exsit in
Mexke three years, with fifty' thousand
foreign bayonets to euttsin it The peo
ple arorepuptiean.
The President says he ia convinced hat
the best means of brinrinc the war to an
honorable does will be to prosecute it
with increased energy and power in the
vital parts of the enemy's ceuntry. Now
I am persuaded that to long at we contin
ue to prosecuted the war In the interitor
of Mexico, we shall have no peace with
the nation, and all attempt to make peace
iih a faction will place - us in a worse
position thsn open wsr, I spesk with !the
authority of a perfect knowledge ol . the
aa'ure al tne country ana tne character m
the people.
I waeglad lo find that th Secretary
reject the plan -f everrening th whole
eountry( as too expensive; but I was sur
prised to perceive that he only estimates
th number of men it would require to do
this or to maintain oar present conquests.
at seventy thousand men for the first and
torn thirty Ore or lorty tnoessnn lor toe
second. He ssyt nothing of the annual
consumption of men during this prolonged
eonleet . During the most favorable peri
ad of the peniatalsr, war carried sm ia a
suaatry friendly to them, the Bri'ish forces
lost annaally aig'en per cent one Uarth o
whom died of wounds and casualties:
In Mexico we should lose at least twenty
per ceat per annum of regular force and
at least fort j per ceat of volunteer. 1 re
marked in the istamast between the Uat
pisnand Black Sea thnt the Reeaiaa fotces
required to be recruited entirely in three
years: that ia to ssy, they reqeired a rs
newel of one tlitnl every yesr.

can only ta defended by a chain of pos's
bordering aa the Jline, whereas it is best

I did not intend to intrude mf epinioa on

will have no meana to : epuip armies and

in in saying tat two or three strong
plsoe ia the interior of our line would keep
then in check for naif a cealarv, sad ia
lea time we might bay a title, if thought
aceeeaary. By adopting this plan peace
would come at last with present indem

will be sufficiently numerous to enable
the eomrosndihg gsneral to separste se

- I have givea yoa my opinion very hui
riedly, for it appears to me there is little
time te lose in settling the course to be
pursued. We caa at this period with
draw our foree without dishonor; nsy,
such aa aet would elevate na in the esti

reverse a threat of foreign intervention
might render such an act difficult, if not

JUDGE McLEAN AND THE WARJ
The following letter baa been furnished
to the Cincinnati Gstette, by the gentle
man to whom it was addressed, for publi
cstion. The pur official position of Judg
McLean, as well aa his high character, and
the uniform moderation of his political
eoerse, impart interest and will give
weight to his opinions'.
Wasbwoton, Jan. 7, 1848.
Aty Dear Sin To all human appear
ance the termination of this misersble war
with Mexico is more remote than when
the first blow was struck. In my judg
ment it was unnecessarily and nnconsiita
tiooallv commenced by marching our
army ia disputed terriloy in the possession
of Mexico; and I think that Congre-a, who
unquestionably hav th power, should put
an end to th war on jnat an honorable
principle.
After agreeing upon the term on which
a treaty should be made, they should' esll
upon the Executive by resolution lo offer
a peace to Mexico apoa that basis; and
doling the nerolistion hoeiilitie sHoold - be
suspended. If the President shall refuse
to hi in the mill'iiary appropriauon billa
the army should be required to take each
positions as shall carry out th view nf
Congress, These bill the President could
aet veto, nd he would be bound by their
requirements. This may be done by the
Ilonse. .
-1 hope Congress will refuse to issue any
more Treasury note. The note demaa
decftnaddition lo those already in circelalio
would flood the country with that deserjp
tion of paper 8uch en emission would
cmsti ue a Government bank, controlled
and managed by n party Administration.
W havenow fifteen million af Tresrary
netea in circulation, and authority to issue
five millions more. I would oat increase
thia circulation u dollar, bet reduce it as
rappidly as possible , Suebv a systsm
would be incomparably more dangerous
tnithe public mnra end th public liberty
than any other system of banking that
ewald be devised.
To meet any deficiency of the revenue
to pay the enrreet expense of th war, I
would etherise loans at par, - paying
not more thea six per ceat, in'erest and if
loans canot be made at this rate let tbe Ad.
ministration resort to a system of taxation
whichjahall cause the people to feel the
expense of the war. All ' wars
should be accompanied by a system of
direct and Internal taxation. , Nothing short
of thw can show,; in addition I" the sacrifice
nf fife, what i we pay for military glory.
This was the police m tbe better days of
'the repnbtie
Tbe Iste war with England was nobly
sustained bj the people not oolrjn the field
bat by tie payment of taxes. And they
will sustain every just war in which our
country sbsll be Involved, Bot I risk to-
Ihingia satmg that aa attempt to adopt
urh a svstem of Isxriion would wind up

On Saturday last, we witneased a highly
interesting and important surgical opera

Mr. Leiroy Maore, of tliia county, which
a, a.. - om
crew immeaiatety under in arm. the
patient wss thrown loto a deep sleep and
state ol insensibility, bv inhaling Unloro
form, administered by Dr. W. R. Scott
snd in die space of eleven minutes, the most
delicate operation of cutting ant the tamer.
which weighed a pound and four ounces,
was accomplished, and, what la most as
tonishing, and will appear almost incredi
bl to those who have never seen the ef.
en
the slightest pain." W watched the knife.
as it was iruided by the aleady and akiliul
hand of the Doctor, laying bare the impor
tant nerves, bloodvessels and muscles of;
that part of the system, and there was no
more shrinking or flinching front the in
cision, than if the msn bed been actually
dead. We saw him on Sunday,, when be
assured us h felt ao psta whatever in-
deed, waa perfectly insensible to every
thing uatil tbe. operation was over. He
waa then, to our aurprise, sitting up, and
doing well, having suffered no pain, and
feeling none then, except Msome soreness."
vThie ia not Ihe first time aacb operations
have been successfully petfomud by Dr.
Hat wood; though it is the am time, we be

waa performed with th skill and nerve for
which Dr. H. is distinguished, and was
borne, without the aid of any such agent

fortitude characteristic of the sex of the
patient under great trial. She soon re
covered; and though the jaw wae aeeeasa
