The, War with Mexico.
cc.
The, reply of the ,editor of the G i atette to
our article of Friday morning directing his atten
tion to the .viows orthe Wheeling Times is really
'a strange affair. We stated a simple faet that
portion or the people tetgling on the. Texan side
of the Rio'Grande,4•notnrhstanding the assurances
given by General Tayl/r that all their rights and
;property Isiould, be respected by our government,"
pasOd'to the 'other side rot - the river. Nye cannot
ace what this has to do either with the qeestion of
boundary, or the subjecti more particularly re erred
to in our article of Fridr.y. , The editor of the Ga
zette- :asserted that the President of the United
violation of te Constitution of the Utii
' teat States had "wager? Iwo; against Mexico without
authority of Coax/vit.'? This v.e declare to be
utterly tidse, and direted his attention to the
article copied from the Wheeling Tinles. The
editor of the Times, m the article referred to,
says: .
!-Mexico threatened! uswith an attach, reAised
to meet us in diplomatic intercourse, an insult that
rendered a declarationluf war on our part just and 1
proper. She then sent ' ter fares to the pottier, en's
zed the /attain, to (wed our people ipon our ter;
tory, took o party of th nt prisuters and carried Ilion
forcibly into Maria) _BEFORE ANY WARLIKE
DEMONSTRATION' WERE MADE ON OCRI
' PART." 1 - i
We hope the edit& of the Gazette will not I
L
again dodge the question now at issue, We again '
call upon him for itu l rue evidence of his assertion
that the President 4icaged war icithriatt authority
of Congress."
The editor of tlwi Philadelphia Ninth Ameri
can, who. for a time: denounced the war as unjust,
upon the ground that our army had, actually in
vaded Mexico, has. (like an honest Mari and sin
cere American, uek4wledged his error. Hear him
.
"Tnat'Nexico now claims the territory lying I 1
between these rivers as a part of Tamaulipas and I
therefore underher jtirisdicti on, is true, but a Mexican
claim need not ne,qt.sasily be founded in justice,
nor can the rc i iuttic get over the fact, that she
hag repcdfcd.'y twali clad alision lit it the Dia Del Norte
it the . I,ouadury be. met% herself and the republic of
Te:as. We ha-.c "l`exan, Atnerican 'English and
Mexican authorities proving that the Pel Norte
has always been cA,liidered as the true boundary,
which are this suec!,incily stated: aindrustier. alike to
. the President, our 'patina, and the tria,eads if history,
seems to require gnat they should he explained,
as our Charleston ~totempora.ry has Anne for us."
We pity the edl4ir of the Gazette—he will soon
-be lea ''solitary ond alone," to defend the Mexi
c ut claim to the Territory between the Nuece,s and
the Rio Grande.

AT Lt 13E11.T'. AG.l.lS.—"l3abe, the pirate," whose
arrest last week On untried indictments we men
tioned acne days since, was again' set at liberty
on Tuesday morning, in compliance with a letter
from the Secretary of.-state, who states that the
President was not aware, at the time of pardoning
'lithe under his conviction, of the existatice of the re
maining indictments, bat suggested that wile pros.
should be entered i on those indictments—which was'
done. .

It is probably known to most of you, that since
I have been on the Bench, I have, in a great Mea

the future vengence of their co.uutsymeM. The
moral senEe of the Christian, world Was shocked
by that , atrocious outrage. All Christendom
would have been
. instified by that and other transac
tions of a scarcely leseflag rant character, in uniting
to Wage war upon a people, whoin: the most
sacred principles of humanity—of international
lai , -;--and the usageslof civilized nations, had thus
been trampled under foot; just as much so; as an
American, or a British man of War, would be jus
tified in taking summary Vengerice on a horde of
Malays, or Fegees, for acts of piracy, or cannibal
ism.
But a day of retribution—at least of partial re
tribution---caste at last. 'Mexican blood flowed
pretty freely on the field of San Jacinto. There
was paid the first instalment of the debt which had
been contracted A balance still remained un
paid. And for that I think we are in a pretty
fair way to obtain eatiafaction.
On that field a nation was born. For years after—
indeed up till the iecent demonstration by the'Mex
jeans' on the left bank of the Rio Grande—scarce
ly a hostile foot left its impress on the soil of Tex
as. Her independence was recognized by the most
powerful nations of Europe, and by our own
Government She was an independent sovereignty,
and in that character . had the right, and exer
,
cried it, of askin ,, admission into our Union.—
She was admitted. ' , Another star was added to the
national galaxy. There may it glitterin freshness
and beauty till the glorious destiny of the- Ameri-
I call Union shall be fulfilled.
But we were told by the Mexitian Government,
in advance, that the annexation of Teias would be
1 considered tantamount to a dealaration of war.
Had we taken her at lies word, with that measure
mall attempts at negotiation would have ceased,
and actual hostilities would have commenced.
But instead of that, we applied to them to receive
a minister. --We almost entreated them to set
tle all disputes by negociation. They agreed to
receive a minister, on condition, however, that our
fleet should be withdrawn from Vera Cruz. That
fleet seemed to be a thorn in their side. Our fleet
was withdrawn: A representative was despatch
ed. But, behold, when he arrived, they refused to
recognise him. The quibbles on which they ba
sed this refusal, furnish another precious and stri
king instance of their perficlity. Mr. Slidell be
gan to grow impatient, under their evasions and
subterfuges, and wrote home to that ei.ect. Mr
Buchanan, in reply. urged hini to bear it with pa
tience, and, it he failed to secure a recognition from
the dynasty he found in power when he went
there. to try it again under the next military des
potism, by who it should be superceded. Mr.
Buchanan at the tame time says to him—not for
effect at Mexico, but as a matter of en-testi and
confidential instruction, and with the candor which
distinguishes that gentleman in public as well as !
in private life. "The president is sincerely desi
roes to preserve peace woi Mexico. Both
nation and policy dictates this course. -
We despatched a minister on their own terms.
Regardless of their express engagement, they re.
pelted him, and in effect sent him borne. Here was
a fresh and luring insult. All this meant some
thing. It was not without a pregnant meaning.—
Thee were grace mattera in dispute between the
two governments. There were questions pending
that did not admit of pastponement. They rein.,
'aed, under circumstances that added insult to inju-
Ray, to settle them by negotiation. Did they not
thereby present tous war as the only alternative! I
Did not their proceedings amount to a declaration of
war? Suppose the parties had keen England and
France—would it not has e been so regarded?—
Would not their armies have been in quick and
hostile motion, and the British channel whitened
" with the canvass of their ships of wart But still,
in oar forbearance, we did not practically treat It I
in this light. We still abstained from all acts of ;
aggression.
Besides this last and crowning insult, have they
not for years .past been threatening to wage war
upon us. First we were to have vcar if we did not
present oar brave and enterprieing-citizens from
bearing arms in the cause of. Texan independence.
Next we were sure to hay» war if we ventured
to annex Texas. Then we were to have war if we
dared to take armed occupation ti hat country.— I
War haa been suspended over otirheada, aecorthog to
their bravadoes, upon a great many contingencies.
All these contingeneieShim cried; but still there was
no war. We had received a great many invita
tions, but still the ball was not opened. We were ,
not disposed to be trifled with any longer, and
kept in this state of suspense. So we sent Gen.
Taylor, (but still with pacific instructions,) to the
east bank of the Rio Grande, to see what they ac
tually meant. It was high time that there should
be a solution of the question. It was high, nine,
too, we should cease being made to play the part I
of scare-goat to the contending factions of Mexico
in their conflicts with each other.
The period of trifling—Of threats—of quari war
—has gone by, and actual war has ensued, no t
from our seeking, but by the fault of Mexico. She
has threatened war for years past. She actually j

cers and solders on the soil we claim as our own.
and of which welted actual possession. The mur
der of Col. Cross, the death of young Porter, (the
gallant son of a gallant sire.) of Mason, Kane, and
others, attest the fact, and sealed. it in blood. Mex
ico struck the first blow. Be the consequence
on her own head.
War then actually exists. What shall be the at
titude of Pennsylvania in re 'erence to it? Am I'
wrong when 1 say (does not all her last history.
and all present indications warrant me in saying)
that in a crisis like this, she will east aside all dif
ferences of opinion on minor questions—and that
but one sentiment will animate the breasts of her
people, prompting them cheerfully to contribute
their efforts, their means, their blood if riecefaary,
to the support of the Government—the prosecu
tion of the war—the triumph of our arnie—the
glory, the increase and perpetuity of our Union.—
The volunteers of our city and county, I ant re
joiced to observe, have promptly tendered their
services to the Government. There is an old and
tried soldier at their head, and there are younger
I ones along with him, who, if I mistake not, will
never suffer the national flag to be tarnished in'
their hands. They will give a good account of
themselves, and of the place they hail from,
whenever and wherever au opportunity shall he
presented.
The war has begun' and victory—a glorious and'
derisive victory—has crowned the bravery and
discipline of our soldiers. Their ranks are swell-
1 in.', and their march is onward. Unless the enemy
shall sue for peace, they will not stop short of the
walls of the city of Mexico. There we will dic
tate terms of peace. and some of her northern proe!.!
inces, already independent of the central power,
will indemnify us for the expenses of the war.
While we rejoice in our triumphs on the Rio
Grande, let us never forget those who fought the
battle, and especially those who fell in the hour °i l
victory. Would not the impulse, uppermost in
your breast at this moment, prompt you to rush, if!
you could to the grave of Ringgold—the brave'
accomplished, gallant Ringgold—and his o
cmpan
ions in death and glory—to moisten their grave
with a tear—and there realize, and swear by the
flag of your country, that such blood has not been
shed in vain. The soil where they sleep in death
is hallowed ground, secured to their country, and
consecrated to freedom by their blood. May it
never be desecrated, by the footstep of the foe.—lt
was a death to be envied--one that leaves a death
less name behind.

the office of the New. Orleans Tropic, containing
some additional items:
• The steamship Telegraph has: just arrived from
Point Isabel. Through the .politeness of her obli

He reports that on the lith instant, a detachment
.of 300 regulars and 350
. volunteers proceeded to,
Barita and took possession of it and established al
Military depot
, On the:night of the 19th an express arrived
from Gem Taytor, stating that he had crossed the
Rio Grande and taken the city of Matamoros
' without opPositiOn—the Mexicans having fled from
' the city. -
r The Mexicans, from the last accounts, were de
serting their ranks in battallions. Two American
regiments , with the exception of about 350 men,
having marched a few days previous, were station
ed at the Brazos Point, awaiting the' orders of
'Gen. Taylor, as it Was 'thought they would leave
on the 20th for Matamoros, via the old Barite road.
Nothing further has been heard of the reinforce-'
ments that were reported, to be on their way to
the relief of Ampudia: Capt. Simpson fotmd a;
Mexican a few days since in the thicket; as soon''
as he was discovered -he threw away his arms,
saying that he had been fighting for a month with
nothing but bread and water for provisions, that
he now wished to surrender to the Americans, as
he would fight no longer under the Mexican, Gov
ernment, and that two thirds of the whole Mexi
can forces wished to do the same.

The condition of the brave and esteemed Capt.

He communicates his thoughts by 'writing on a

There are three Mexican prisoners having but one

'All our accounts represent the Mexicans as hav

They were nearly in a state of starvation, and
