THE WAR.
We do not know how the matter may!
strike otherlminds, but to ours the follow
ing extract from a communication in thej
Boston Courier, briefas it is, speaks vo-
lumes of sober trutl and just monition : j
" One war was popular ; the party that !
opposed it vas annihilated ; therefore all
If the object of the war was to avenge
the invasion of our territory, has not that
been done already to a sufficient extent to
satisfy the most implacable? Is it not e
nough that the enemy has been thrice de
feated with great slaughter, and not only,
driven from our soil, but from half the ter
ritory that belongs to him? I It is a mean
and malignant spirit that cannot be satis
fied ,witb such revenge, as this, particular
ly on an enemy so notoriously inferior :to
us in number and in vigor. ; ! !
But it is said we must persist in the
vigorous prosecution of this; war until we
bonquer an honorable peace' until we
extort indemnity from Mexico, not only
for the debt due us before the war, but
for the expenses of the war itself. Now,
every body knows that Mexico will not
submit to such termsoinless reduced to th
last extremity of weakness, i coward ice
and despair not unless she be complete-
ly conquered. This war. then; which we
iare pretending to wage to 'conquer an
honorable peare,' is in fact to conquer
Mexico. This peace we are seeking as
honorable to us is to be dishonorable---nay,
destructive, to the Mexicans. It
would be dishonorable to them to submit
to such terms even if they caused the war,
because their submission would be com
pulsory, and not voluntary. But, believ
ing as they do, and as is the fact, that we
are the aggressors in the war, their sub
mission would be peculiarly degrading and
despicable. ! :
44 We have said that Shis 'nation is the
aggressor. Let us not be accused of hos
tility to our country, of mortal treason, of
giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Let
us not be told of the maxim, 4 Our country,
right or wrong.' This as a maxim of self
defence is indisputable, self-evident it is
self-love expanded into patriotism self-
cetence expanded into national defences.
But, in any other sense, we repudiate all
such principles as infamous in ethics or
politics. He who will not speak the truth
is a liar, and he who dares not is a cow
ard. He who will not or dares not tell
his countrymen the truth on Questions of
the most vital public policv, is a coward
cr a traitor. And, if there is any conduct dent arid his advisers, as well as by many

After considerable ' apparent delay on
the part of the Quartermaster's Depart

ceeded, towards the latter part of August,
in throwing forward to Camargo (a town
situated on the San Juan river, three miles
from its junction with the Rio Grande, on
the west side, nearly 500 miles from Bra
sos island by water, and 200 by Iand, and
140 from this place) a considerable depot
of provisions,: ordnance, ammunition, and
forage, and then, having brought together
an important portion of my command, I
determined on moving on this place. Ac
cordingly, after collecting 1,700 pack
mules, with their attendants and conduc
tors the enemy's country, (the princi
pal means of transportation for our provi
sions! naSgage, &c.) I left, on the 5th of'!
beptember, to join my advance, which
had preceded me a few days to Seralvo,
a small village 7G miles on the route,
which I did on the Olh.and, after waiting
there a few days for some of the corps to
get up, moved on and reached here on the
19tht with 6,250 men 2,700 regulars, the
balance volunteers. For what took place
afterwards, I must refer you to my sever
al reports particularly to my detailed
one of the 9th ultimo.
I do not believe the authorities at Wash
ington! are at all satisfied with my con
duct in regard to the terms of the capitu
lation entered into with the Mexican com
mander, which you no doubt have seen,
as they have been made public through
the official organ, and copied into various

our country who think of annexing Mexi

the terms of capitulation may be consid

case in a war of aggression like that we
are now engaged in.

Opposition to the war with England;
in 1812-15 was unpopular. Opposition;
to nvy war Avith England would be un
popular. For a war with a foe so power-;

a war of sef-defence. We must, in such
a war, defend ourselves at home, as well
as attack the enemy abroad. And every
man wouldjc compelled to stand by hfs
country, in such an emergency,, 'Tight or

becomes a)war for national existence, to
a great extent, and no man can hesitate
in such circumstances, and no party could
