This, was a good beginning in the ;way of prejudicing the facts. After the first successes of the arms of the 'United States, ;;it said, "both parties will prize the first decent pretest for putting an end to this wicked and absurd quarrel," Some Months later, when o...evidences of our success were still more manifest it, uttered the following : "Wei bevel all along forscen thiti the conduct of this war would present almost •insuperable military difficulties, and that the cry of marching to slexico, investing the principle cities; and occupyin;• the country was the mere dream, of an . ignor ant populace.- Without roads,,_ wi th on t local supplies, with little water and great deal of disoase, the march of an American army into the heart of Mexico would lead to its destruction." I The foresight evinced the preceding paragraph is only equalled by t l he pre diction-three months later that the war would have to continue at an enormous cost,. or the United States would have to "confess their folly and their helplessness by a rediculous retreat." Later fit said "the Cabinet at Washington must be aware that they have, no reasonable pros pect of terminating this war by any, ac tion of extraordinary lustre." The Mex icans at, a subsequent period had."appre hensions that Vera Cruz would be laken." :Whoa Vera Cruz fell, the Tinies account ed for it by the supposition that "it evi dently suitendered to mere intimidation Qr corruption ) ; or possibly from the de site to saveibe city frOm total annihila tion," Thus it continued to blander on till the events of the War established the prestige of the army of the United States and. the Capitol of Mexico surrendered True .to. its Character as a false prophet, it-predicted :then that "the Mexicans -were farther off from a disposition' to Make peace than ever;" though in four months' tune peace was Made and our ar my was on its way home again. •We can .estimate from this, the value of - its prey. eat predictions in regard to the rebellion.

John C Breckinridge has Published .a manifestO the'People of Kentucky, da-, - ted,at Bowling Green, the Rebels' head quarters; but we have been unable to get a sight of it. The St. Louis Republican gives' us some - insight into its contents. Mr..Breekinridge says it is written-at - the first moment, since his expulsion from home, that he could place his.feet on the soil of Kentucky. This is a !most impu dent perversion of the truth, for he never was expelled .from-home; he left Lex ington impelled by his guilty feats of or ; rest, and his retreat was lighted ,by .the bnrning'self-consciousness of a complicity with treason. When the mock "Dukel of Tobin's !Comedy is compelled to la . fr aside the borrnwed robes of authority, he does it with a constrained grace "as a well; bred dog walks down stairs when he sees preparations 'making', for . kicking hiol down ; 1 1 and in the same spirit Breckin; ridge resigned his seat as a member of the 'Senate of the. United States, saying, "I exchange with proud satisfaction, a term of six years in the United States Senate, 'for the musket of a soldier."— This is the bluster of the "Ancient Pis tol," tor we all know that the service of the ex-Senator, it' he serves at ;_ll, will be in some honorary position; with sword and on a charger. Our St. Louis cotem porary says the address would fill two of its columns, and is made up of misrepre sentations. Breckinridge says there is no longer a Senate of the United States, within the weaning and spirit of the Constitution— "the United States•no longer exists—the Union is dissolved." But Kentucky is still one of the United States; his de ceived and betrayed constituents are Still loyal; they recognize proudly the exist euee of the government of their fathers, and they deny that the Union is dissolved. By what argument can Mr. Breckinridge assert that the Union is dissolved, now, more than iu August last, or that the ex istence !of the United States has been im periled I since , the session of Congress t wheu he occupied his seat as s Senator of the United States from the State of Kentucky, and drew his pay from the Federal Treasury for his services ? If Mr. Breckinridge believed,. when he took the GoVernment's gold, - that - the United States no longer existed, and that the Union 'was dissolved, he acted like a petty larceny! thief and a swindler. He knows that his course is indefensible ; he is self-convicted of the -vilest treachery to the,Stnte which has honored him ; and, being unwilling to face the indignant people Of Kentucky, he h... 3 sneaked away frouiltheir presence, and, surrounded bY cutthroats and thieves, incendiaries and felons, as a body guard, has issued his itu r pu den t manifesto. We do not care partienlarly about see ing the text of this last dying speech and confession of John C. Breckinridge. We know that he can not justify his conduct, [but tlia!t, he has the 'insidious talent to Leouceal his real purposes beneath glitter ing sentences and honeyed words. The Repubi i ican calls them "frivolous and un ; justifiable excuses for a bad act." But the trial and condemnation of Mr. Breek:- haridge were held and pronounced before h ' t e jury of popular opinion months and months ago. While he was bolding the s..condloffice in the gift of this people, and presiding over the Senate of the United States, while. he was afterwards a candi date for the Presidency, and while he eras exercising the duties of a United - StateS Senatot, he was plotting to betray his country, and was in league;with the infa ; mous traitors who conspired to break up the Government. Of all the persons engaged in this ne s , farious, work, he achieved the lowest depth of degrAation, for he allowed him; self to, be used as a fourth.' candidate to distract and divide the vote of the coun':- try, with the full confidence that it would lead to the election of Mr. Lincoln, and thus present to the Southern malcontentii a pretext for their acts of secession. While those who were his fellows in this treachery left their seats in Congress, he remained there, and gave aid to then in opposing every appropriatien of men and means to resist the rebellion, although it was menacing 'within five or six miles, the very Federal Capitol where he was sit ting., No man is more deeply and terri bly responsible for the blood and pillage and crime and horror of the last 5i . .% Months. He knows it, .too; the,, know,s that - ire is as guilty as Cain after the first fratricide, and he flies front the ven geance that awaits hint. lie is a refugee from Ihis native, State, with the . brand upon ,his brow and the knawing vulture of remorse at. his heart.

Baker the' dead . . body of David Broderick in..gan' Franciso on the 18th of September). 1859: The concluding passages are strangely app o priate'to the occasion of the death Of th it author : ' -- . "A 'Senator lies dead in our midst ! Ile is wrapped in a bloody shroud, and4e, rl t to whom his toils and cares were. given, re about to bear him to the place appointed for all living. It is not ' fit that such a man should pass to the'tomb unh'erald(id.;• it is not fit that such a life-should steal unnoticed to his close; it is not.-,fit that such a death should call forthino rebuke,' or be, surrounded by no pubic lamenta tion. : We are here of every station and pursuit,' of every creed and character, each in his capacity ,of citizen, to swell 'the Mournful tribute-which the,_ majeSty of the people offers to the unreplyitig dead. • The hopes of high•hearted friends droop like fading flowers upon his breast, and the, struggling sigh compels the tear in eyes that seldom, , weep. Around him are those who have known him best and loved him longest ; 4ho have shared the triumph, and endured the defeat. Near him are the gravest and noblest of the State, possessed by' a grief at once earnest and sincere; - while beyond the massesiof the people that he loved, and for wham his life was given, gather like a thiin der cloud of swelling and • indignant _ grief. - • , And now as the shadows turn towards the east, and we prepare to bear these poor remains to their silent resting place, let us not seek to repress , the generous pride which prompts a recital of noble deeds and manly virtues. He •rose Un aided and alone;' he began his career without family or fortune, in the face of difficulties ; he inherited poverty and ob scurity; he died a Senator in Congress, having written his name in the 'history of the great struggle for the rights of _the people against the despotism of or ganization and the corruption of power. He leaves in the hearts of his friends the tenderest and the proudest recollections. He was honest, faithful, earnest, sincere, generous' and brave. He felt in all . the. great crisis of his life, that he was a lead er in the ranks and right's _of,masses of men, and he could not falter. When e returned from that fatal field, while tie dark wing of the Archangel of death Was casting his shadows (upon his brow, bis greatest anxiety was as to the performa9ce of his tinty. He felt; that all his strength and all his life helone. o ed to the cause Ito . welch lie had devoted them. "Baker," said he, and to me they were his last words—" Baker, when I was struck' I tried to, stand firm, but the blow: blinded me, and I could not," I trust it is no shame to my manhood that tears blinded me . as he said it. ' But fellow citizens, the voice of lain entation is not uttered by private friend ship alone—the blow, that struck his man ly breast has touched the heart of a peo ple, and as the sad tidings spread, a gen eral glooni • prevails. Who now 5%611 speak for California? Who be the inter preter of the Pacific coast? 1 Who can appeal to the community of the Atlantic -who love free labor? , Who'•can speak for masses of men with a passionate loVe for the classes_ from whence he sprung? Who can defy the blandishments of pow er, the insolence of office; the Corruption of Administrations ? What , hopes are buried with him in the grave ? 1 "Ali who that'gallant spirit shall resume. Leap from Eurotus' bank and call us from the tomb." But the last word must be spoken and the imperious mandate of death must he fulfilled. Thus, 0 brave heart 1 we must bear thee to thy rest. - Thus, surrounded by tens of thousands, we eave thee to the equal grave. As in life, no other voice among us so rung its trumpet blast upon the ear of freedom, so in, death its echoes will reverberate amid our moun tains and Our valleys, Trail truth . and valor, cease to appeal to the human heart Good friend r. true hero ! hail and fare well ser I tell you that I shall commit tiu ioide, if yon:don't have me. . j W'ell charley, as soon as you have giv , en me that evidence of your affection; I will yieve you , lave me.
