EXTRACTS
From the! Speech of Mr. Stewart, of Penn
sylvania, on the Three Million Bill, delivered
M'the House of Representatives j
Bin the President insists, that Mexico struck
first. Is this true ? If so. that is enough : whv
assign twenty piher insufticienl reasons for this
war 1 ; The course of the President puts me in
mind of a case of outrageous assault and bat.
ten tried in the west. The defendant's coun
scl admitted the charge, but undertook tojusti
fy. He came into court with his plea, some,
thing like the message in length, containing
tweiyjfUir distinct ground of defence. To
the terror of the court he opened his volume,
1 . 'J 1 t- .
auu commencea reauing : n the court please,
our nrst ground ot defence is, that the prosecu
tor struck Jirst." Stop," said the court, stop
thats enough prove that, and we want no
more.' Ave, but," said the lawyer, 44 un
fortunately fbrmy client, that's just what we
can't profe !" 44 Then, why did you put it in ?"
4 To save appearances, if your honors please."
Just so in this case 44 To save appearances,"
the President says, Mexico struck first;" but,
not being aWa to prove it, he goes back twen-ty-odd
years to give, what he calls, 44 a history
of the causes that led to tho war," instead of
j jeeted ; and, in all dinitv. vu
in all propriety, the ihmg slj r.
have stopped." ".But so It did not t:

of this. yar. Glory ! is there any glory to be '
got by the conquest of these miserable demi
savage, downtrodden, and distracted Mexicans?
Is it glory for an elephant to kill an ant, or
a lion to murder a mouse? Glory? No,sir;
that won't do. There would be more true glo-
ry io exercising generosity, magnammily, and
fopbearance towards poor Mexico, than in kill
ing her people, and robbing her of her territory.
A war yith Mexico can be glorious in no event,
it may be disgraceful ; victory over such an en
emy is not glorious, while defeat would be the
deepest disgrace. Individuals have acquired
and may acquire glory by brilliant achieve
ments and deeds of noble daring, but national
glory is out of the quc&tion.

THE RESUMPTION BY MARYLAND
The vote in the Senate of Maryland on
the bill which had already passed the
House of Delegates for 'the resumption of
payment of interest on her State debt was,
by a slip of the pen, erroneously stated in
our last at 14 to 16, instead of fourteen
yeas to six nays, which was the real vote.
But for the accidental absence of one; of
the friends of the bill, the yeas jwould' have
been fifteen, being a vote of five-sevenths
of the Senate in favor of it ; a vote which
ought, for the honor of the State of Ma
ryland, to be truly recorded. The Balti
more American of yesterday morning thus
announces the vote Int.'
