OM HISTORY DIP TILE WAR.
The following secret bistoiy of
,the
War, which we take from the Philadel
phia Daily Chronicle, a neutral paper,
is commended to the serious considera
tion of the people. It will be seen that
It was without the power of the admin
istration to have settled all our difficul
ties with Mexico, without resort to a
bloody and expensive war. The Chron
icle says:
" It has been repeatedly intimated ,
however, and from such quarters as
could not entirely be disregarded, that
there were facts connected with the ori
gin of the Mexican war, which the pub
lie knew nothing of. And it has been
more than once hinted, that the State
Department at Washington contained
such suppressed facts, and that were
they ever to see the light, would bear
hard upon the administration, unless
very satisfactorily explained before the
people. And, again, in the Senate, af
ter the reception of the President's war
meseage, when Mr. Calhoun—then fresh
from the State Department—made his
striking declamation, he said, if a short
delay was accorded, the impending war
might be prevented. This declaration
from Mr. Calhoun, has always been un
derstood by some as pregnant with im
portant meaning.
Now, something of this nature has
been placed before the public eye—a
statement of fact is made which would
seem to warrant the declaration of Mr.
Calhoun, and lead us to understand that
the impending war might have been
prevented. The facts to which we re
fer are contained in a letter front Isaac
D. Marks, late American Consul at Mat
amoras, to Gen. Taylor, a copy of which
was forwarded to the Hon. James Buch
anan, Secretary of State, immediately.
As explanatory of this letter, it is re
marked, that the object of Gen. Arista
in obtaining command of the army in
the Northern provinces, was to effect a
revolution in them, and establish a go
vernment independent of the central go
vernment of Mexico, and friendly to the
United States, and that this fact was
made known to Gen. Taylor and to the
War Department here. Mexican offi
cers and citizens visited the camp of
Gen. Taylor at Corpus Christi, and it
was known that Gen. Arista and his
friends desired the United States Army
to move to the Rio Grande in large
force, to give them apparent counte
nance in their efforts to get rid of the
control and tyranny of Southern Mex
ico.
If Gem Taylor had taken such a force
with him to the Rio Grande; it is al
most certain that the Mexicans would
not have crossed the river; but the small
force with which he did march left the
Mexican general no excuse for not at
tacking him, as the provocation of flaunt
ing the flag of the United States in the
faces of the Mexicans at Fort Browne,
under such circumstances, as might be
expected, roused their antipathies and
feelings. It is difficult to account for
the reason why the government, know
ing all the circumstances, if they desir
ed to procure peace, did not order Gen.
Taylor to assemble a larger force.
These facts account for the reason why
Gen. Arista did not attack Gem Taylor
at Corpus Christi, or seize Point Isabel.
The letter of Mr. Marks, dated Septem
ber 23d, 1845, is, in substance, that he
had had several conferences at Monte
rey, with Gen. Arista, Co►mnander-in-
Chief of the Mexican forces on the fron
tier of the Rio Grande, in relation to the
differences existing between the United
States and Mexico, and that from the
opinions and views he made known to
me,. the Cabinet of Mexico is disposed to
enter into an amicable arrangement with
the United States, in relation to the
boundary and all other momentous ques
tions.
Mr. Marks stated that lie took upon
himself to intercede, as a citizen of the
United States, desiring to see the two
countries in harmony of friendship. But
Gen. Arista, being under the impression
that he was a secret agent of the United
States, insisted in sending a minute of
their conference to his government.—
Gen. Arista pledged himself that there
would be no declaration of war, on the
part of Mexico, until Mr. Marks could
proceed to Washington, and lay before
the President the views of Mexico on
the subject, and also, that no large body
of Mexican troops should cross the left
bank of the Rio Grande, that only small
parties, not to exceed 100 men, should
he permitted to go as far as the Arroyo
Colorado, twenty leagues from the Rio
Grande, and that they would be strictly
ordered only to prevent Indian depreda
tions and illicit trade,
In consideration of these pledges of
Arista, Mr. Marks assured him that Ge
neral Taylor would not commit any ag
gressive act against Mexico or her citi
zens, and that he would solely retain the
position he then occupied, near the
Neuces river. And Mr. Marks closes
his epistle with a congratulation that the
door was then open to an amicable ad
justnien tof the various questions between
the United States and Mexico, and ex
pressed his happiness in being instru
mental in this great and good object.
Mr. Marks, upon forwarding the letter
to -Gen. Taylor, proceeded at once to N.
Orleans, from which place lie transmit
ted a copy of the letter to Washington
by mail, and himself followed the next
morning.
From this statement of facts, it will
I be understood that the resort to arms
against Mexico, at the time ilwas made,
was not absolutely necessary on our
part. But on the contrary, that it was
known at Washington, when Gen. Tay
lor was ordered on to the left bank of
the Rio Grande, that the difficulties
with Mexico might be adjusted on peace
able terms. This being known, it is no
very unreasonable inference, that it was
President Fold's direct object to preci
pitate a war if possible."
VIGOR IN THE WAR.
From different quarters we have ur
gent suggestions that all discussions re
specting the origin or probable extent
and consequences of the War be termi
nated, and that all thoughts, all efforts
be directed to a vigorous prosecution of
the War. This, it is said, is the way
to " conquer Peace" and the only way.
We protest against this view of the
matter. It leaves God and Justice en
tirely out of the account. The first
thing, in our judgment, to be done is to
procure a public declaration from our
Government of the terms on which it
stands ready to make peace—say at any
time before the Ist of March next. Let
this go forth to the world ; and if the
terms be moderate and reasonable our
side will be immensely strengthened
and that of Mexico proportionally weak
ened unless she shall promptly close
with our offer and put an end to the War.
Let it be settled that we are henceforth
to fight purely for Justice and Peace,
not for plunder and extended sway, and'
we can hardly fail to secure a speedy
adjustment. Mexico suffers more, appre
hends more, from the War, than we do,
and would gladly close it if she could
feel sure that her existence and inde
pendence would not be periled thereby.
If her people are rallied to the battle
field now, it is because they believe the
National dauger imminent. To dissi
pate this belief will be of more effect in
hastening Pence than the bloodiest bat-'
tle,_the most triumphant victory.
Next to this, we must give assurance'
that we will not curse any accession of
territory which may be accorded to us
at peace by Mexico with the polluting,
blithing leprosy of Slavery, On this
point the action of our Government
should be prompt and emphatic. If we
are indeed fi ghting to extend the area '
not of Freedom but of Bondage—of,
buying and selling wives from husbands!
and children from parents—we cannot
hope, we ought not to wish for success
in the contest. Let the Nation speak
out on this head, and put the point be
yond controversy. The War, bad
enough at best, becomes horrible if re
garded as a War for the extension of
Slavery :
. .
We 'think our Government ought also
to declare that it will accept of no ter
ritory at the close of the War unless
the People of that territory, having a
fair and free opportunity to express
their preference, shall decide to come
to us rather than remain with Mexico.
Unless our Declaration of Independence
be the veriest quackery and farce ever
known, we have no right to drag reluc
tant provinces behind our triumphal
car. Fifty victories and the capture of
the City of Mexico would give no moral
right to incorporate a department into
our territory while its people objected
to the transfer.
Such, in our view, arc the most im
portant and nnminent steps to be taken
with a view of "conquering Peace.l—
know there is a different way--we
hear it is destined to be taken—yet we
are sure that its best results will not
compare with the worst that could fol
low the course we have indicated.—X.

Doings of the Bouncers and Killers in New
Orleans.
It appears from the New Orleans Delta
that Capt. Hill, Company D, from Phil
adelphia, First Regimept Pennsylvania
Volunteers made a descent with his en
tire company, upon a ball-room in St.
Philip's street, on Sunday night, the 3d
inst. One Felix Rozat testifiies that
Captain Hill ordered his guard to follow
him into the ball-room and charge and
kill all on the spot that would offer any
resistance—that the whole company
marched up stairs, and that Capt. Hill
ordered them to present arms and charge,
but that the crowd having gathered so
thickly around the volunteers they could
not get their. bayonets on. Deponent
further states that the women screamed, !
and that ►f any resistance had been
offered, they (the dancers) would have
been all killed on the spot. After great
disturbance and uproar the volunteers
departed. They then arrested Corporal
Whitmore, one of the city watchmen,
who had been ordered to arrest Capt.
Hill.
Recorder Genois was present and re
quested Capt. Hill to release Whitmore,
bud - Capt. Hill refused.
Whitmore was taken three miles be
low the city when the Company was
met by Col. Black, who ordered him to
be set at liberty.
The matter ended next morning by
Capt. Hill apologizing to the Recorder.
VICTORY OR DEATIL—A story is told
of a worthy lad from " Old Edgefield,"
who was recently doubting whether or
not hr should volunteer for Mexico.—
One of the flags waving in his eyes
somewhat discouraged him. " Victory
is a good thing," said he, " but why put
'Victory or Death.' Put it 'Victory or
Cripple,' and I'll go that."
CONGRESS.
Little has yet been done in our nation
al Legislature, although congress has
been in session since the first of Decem
ber.
In the House, the northern and south
ern wings of "the democracy" have got
into a snarl about slavery, which rises
like a phantom on every question of ter
ritorial government, whether Texas,
Oregon, or parts unknown. A debate
of this kind sprung up on the introduc
tion of slavery in Oregon, which contiun
, ued fen: several days, and was brought
' to a close on the 16th, when the bill es
' tablishing a territorial government in
' Oregon, and prohibiting slavery, was
passed by a vote of 133 tc 35.
In Senate on the 16th, the army bill
was taken up, and re-committed to the
military committee, with instructions to
report a section granting 160 acres of
land to every non-commissioned officer
and soldier serving during the war.
On Monday, the 18th, Mr. R. Johnson,
offered a resolution asking the Secretary
of the Treasury to report the operation
of the Sub-Treasury, and to say whether
it interferes with the financial affairs of
the Treasury. The Vice President an
nounced Mr. Cass as one of the Regents
of the Smithsonian Institute.
On Tuesday, 19th, Mr. Sevier from
the committee on Foreign Relations, re
ported a bill placing at the disposal of
the President the sum of three millions
of dollars for the purpose of bringing
the war to a speedy close, and said he
would ask its consideration at an early
day.
Mr. Benton, from the Military Com
mittee, reported back the bill with an
amendment granting land to the non
commissioned officers, musicians and
privates serving during twelve months,
in the war with Mexico.
Mr. Berrien moved to amend by insert
ing the officers of the volunteers.
Mr. Benton said if this amendment
in favor of the officers of volunteers
prevailed, he should offer another so as
to include the officers of the regular
army.
!qr. Berrien advocated the claims of
the volunteer officers.
Mr. Benton opposed the measure, and
thought the officers of the army better
entitled to bounty land than those at
tached to the volunteers.
A long debate ensued, after which,
Mr. Berrien's amendment was rejected
by a vote of 25 to 26, the Vice President,
giving the casting vote against it.
Nothing of interest transpired in the
House.
On Wednesday, the 20th, after dispo
sing of several other unimportant mat
ters, the consideration of the bill to in
crease the army was resumed, and a
long debate ensued on the amendment
offered yesterday by Mr. Corwin, which
was adopted by a vote of 29 to 18. It
gives 160 acres of land to such as serve
more than a year, and eighty acres to
those who serve less than a year.
In the House a resolution was adopt
ed calling on the President for the names
ofinembers of Congress now serving in
Mexico, and by whom commissioned.
The Indian Appropriation bill was
then taken up in committee of the whole,
reported to the House, and passed.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the Naval Appropriation
bill, and was addressed by Mr. Culver.
During his speech Mr. C. took occasion
to comment upon the course pursued by .
Mr. Sawyer of Ohio, known as the
" sausage-eating" member. Mr. S. re
plied. _ _
In Senate, on Thursday, 21st, the res
olution heretolbre offered by Mr. John
son, of Maryland, directing the Secre
tary of the Treasury, to make a report
in relation to recent transhipment of
public money from the Atlantic States
to New Orleans, or the army in Mexico,
how done, and at what cost; and also
to report whether the Sub-Treasury sys
tem was not calculated to prevent the
obtainment of a loan, and ought to be
repealed, came up for consideration.
Mr. Huntington suggested the modifi
cation of the resolution so as to call upon
the President for the first information,
but to omit calling for the second.
Mr. Johnson accepted this modifica
tion ; but before taking the question upon
the resolution as modified, the Army
Bill was taken up, and a long debate en
sued upon the amendment relative to
the appointment of Chaplains. The
amendment was modified so as to make
the Chaplains of the volunteer regiments
elective, and fixing their pay at two ra
tions and forage for one horse, and
adopted.
Mr. Houston then offered an amend
ment, changing the troops to be raised
from regulars to volunteers, making
their officers all elective, and requiring
the President to commission them ; and,
with the view of having the floor to
morrow, moved an adjournment ; which
was carried.
Houm—A personal explanation was
made between Messrs. Culver and Saw
yer. The latter pledged himself to
prove that Mr. Culver had endeavored
to obtain improperly the secrets of
Lodges for publication. . .
M - r. Culver pronounced the statement
to be false, and if compelled to fight, he
should insist, as the challenged party,
to have his choice of weapons, which,
he said would be a "string of sausages."
