MONDAY MORNINO, MAY S4. 1847.
Tilt’ Uevlluy of nnli'o.
We arc glad lo arc ihr public allmlloli ao generally di
reeled lo llie ronsidcniiuu «>( ihe moat important queauon
count cird Willi llie existing year- and that it, how and up
on w hat term* we aie lo gel rid ol it, ahould llie Mexicans
anil lurn a dial car (o llie condiiioni of |>eacr more ihan
once ptolfrrrd to I he in by the Adininialraiion. Il is not lo
be denied, that, in that event, mr path will be beset by dilli
culms ot the moat lurumlablc character—diHicultice from
which it will require far mote wi»J in. we fear, than our
Killers poasesa, to extricate u» That Mexico, acvrirly
punished ns she has bren, and aware ol whal rhe can
nal but Imi ptinliillv comcioua of, her inferiority, and o|
her inability to rope null us in llie field, would be willing
lo put an end to ihe war by which her territory is ravaged,
it the letiua tendered to her Were such as she could accept
without dishonoring h< tacit in her owu estimation, and m
dial of the wotlJ, cannot be seriously questioned , and the
gieat obstacle to the consummation ol that event, there
torr, rnn-i»l» doubtless in (he fart that the propositions
heretofore made to her have been accompanied by condi
tions ao hatsh ami tigorous, (or at least ao regarded by
her,) a- to render even their consideration impossible.—
Can this obstacle he removed ' Are the terms hereto,
fore insisted upon by nur Government in thcrusrivra un
just ? And if they are, can the Administration, alter
having once picsented them as an ultimatum, abate
their rigor, without leaving a Wound upon our own
rmilcheun ’ These are questions which they alone are
competent to decide who know what those terms arc._
But it is not at all improbable that, in Ihe proffer ol terms of'
pacification to llie Mexican Government, Mr Polk, laboring
under tbe same infatuation that originally led him into llie
capital error ol endeavoring In frighten Mexico into submis
sion by sending an army into her territory, has fallen into the
scarcely leas unfortunate blunder of underrating her capa
city of endurance, as lie had done at first her capacity of
resistance. Believing originally that she would not tight
at all, he imagined, alter the successive defeats and she ai -
parent dispersion of her armies, rnupltd with her supposed
paucity of reaourcrs, that she would be eager 10 accept the
ojivs branch upon any terms; and hence, we apprehend,
the blunder ol accompanying it, tu each instance, wiihdi
ma ids which, as we have seen, en.-nred it* prompt rejee
n n. We can acarrcly flatter ourselrr* that he will recede
from this position, w hatever c.iat of life and trea-ure ns
maintenance may involve. We do not mean to say that he
has required Mexico to purchase a dishonorable jeacc by
subin ttmg to requisition*, which, in addition to depriving
her of a large and valuable portion of her territory, would
also divert hero! ail claim to the respect of her sister na
tion*. Ittnaynot be so—hut certain it i# that Mexico *o
regards them; and m a question touching it* honor, a na
tion, l.ke an individual, i* the aole, as it r* the best judge
of tbe courts* to be pursued. That she » determined
to pn.tract the war, under ci'eunistauccs *o welt cal
cuiated to subdue h< r sp rit and to paralyze her cner
gi-*, ta a: least conclusive of her appreciation ot’ those
terms, the rtsl character of which mu*t first be known
before ire can justly reproach Mexico with unreason
a le obstinacy la tbeir repeated rejection. A powerlui
nation in a contest with a weak one, has no rigbt tu point
to n* fiequent offer* ot peace a* an evidence of tu solici
tude to stop the effusion of bioed ; and it rise just a* iutie
to reproach it* antagonist with perverseree* and obstinacy,
•.toply because ahe tejtc.a tnoec ufftr*. A strung man with
h a foot upon the neck of an enemy feebler than tumsc i,
may propose to release h;m, upon conditions derogatory to
bta per*'Oil honor. The world will rather censure than
applaud the want of magnanimity displayed by the former,
i t thus taking advantage of his physical strength to ex
act degrad.ng condition* of hi* antagonist, w hue it will ap
prove rather than condemn the spirit of the iaiter, should
he preter death to disgrace. It may be that the U. State*
and Mexico have been thrown into tht* relative position by
the ultimatum with which Mr. Polk accompanied h a pro
position to terminate the war. And if it he so, wc are pre
pared to say that the United Slates may, not only without
degradation, but that she is bound, in vindicstion of her
own character, to modify that ultimatum—an obligation
which is strengthened, rather than weakened, by the feeble
ness of her enemy, and by the spirit with which, in despite of
her Comparative inferiority, she lua vindicated what she con.
V’ ived to hr her r.gh'S and her integrity ns a nation. But we
cannot expect such an exhibition of generosity—nay, we may
say, of justice—fr< tu an Administration, which, having pr. •
claimed that Mexico is not only to atone for all the injuries,
out ol w hich, as tht y untruly aliegr.this war grew, but to pay
iI.h expemesof the war itself, must of coarse increase,instead
of inudilyii g i;« demands, with t very day it -hall continue.
With such inadmissible pretensions on tbe one side, and
such firmnes* in resisting them on the oilier, there is very
little reason obviously n* anticipate the *p. eu'y restoration
of pe ace—never, until modnalwn charaeuru ng llie lan
guage ol our own Government, shall inepire more pacific
fie lings in that of Mexico,
What, thin, the question recurs, are we to dot There la
but one course, it the war continues, and that is, either the
occupation ol that portion ol the country, already m our poe
*- salon, or to go on in the career of conquest until we have
siibjnost. d it entire.v. But, a* the Cincinnati Chronicle truly
on, »t cannot conquer the country and hold it w.tti the

(■muiiiv—In your paper ol Ibis morning you have
done very great injustice to a bra*.- man. and 1 ask you as
a matter ol sheer justice to publish tire following statement
of laris. Having been aid-de-camp lo Geu. La Vega, a
prisoner in tbt- csslle of Fau Juan do L'lua. one of I ha la-t
acts I did lor him wae lo write to the Governor ol I'urbla
requesting the release of Midshipman R signs. He had
not the power to ont>ca the release of this yotmg gentlemen,
but Ins request was made in the strongest terms.
The article in this morning's Picayune, prefacing the
letter Irom Major t.atn.-s, in w hich yon comment so severe,
ly upon Gen. La V.-ga's c mduet, was, n> doubt, w ritten
under tire b-liel that it was iu the general's power lo serve
Ihe American pri* not* in the castle ol Santiago. You
will, .mi perusal of the lollowing, be able lo judge of Gen.
La Vega's powers and position.
On the -Till <d February Grn I.i Vega was third in com
mauJ, not ".nilitniy commantlant m the city." The pal
ace at the city ot Mexico was besieged by the revolutionary
pariy ol ihe church and tta adherents. I w as with him and
Snow l.iat not one lelt the palace tor lua-iy Java who was
n* t shot down by the populace. Three days before the at -
nval cl Gen Santa Anna wr lelt M. xieo in great basic to
oppose Ihe Ausricana at the Nali.-nsi Fridge, and ihe rev
olution was still active, so that we rould bold no mieieoursu
with the rastic ol Santiago, where Msjoi Gainva Was con.
lined, it being within the .-usury's Unas.
On scsrral occasion* I hase been au eyc-wiintas to

VT Late accounts trom Central America, received at
New Orleans, state that President Carrera, of Guatemala,
t«hich has withdrawn from the Central American confede
ration, and is now an independent Republic,' has issued a
Manifesto, in wh ch he betrays evident jealousy of the de
signs of the United States—and among them that of ob
taining eommand of the Istbmas at some point. He also al
Indes quite pointedly to our dee gns of conquest m that di
rt ction. Our war with Mesico will excite ibe icaloosy
and apprehension of all the old Spanish provinces, who will
be very apt to regard it, whatever we may say, as a war of
races and religions.

President and Col. Yell of Arkansas, who fell in the battle
ol Buena Vista, were cId friend*. The lattrr w-as poor, and
his family were dependent upon him. He had a young eon
at Georgetown College, whom the President has adopted,
and will educate and regard as his own—intending also to
