any thing Of importance received this morning from the
Rio Grands. it will be given in an EXTRA HERAID


The War and Foreign Relations.


The official paper of the government at Wash
ington states that the war with Mexico viii be
prosecuted on the broadest and widest scale, up
10 the very g Halls of the Montezumas, until
Mexico shall be brought TO terms. We are very
glad To hear this (; but judging from the past vat-
cinations Of the organ, we have no great faith IN
us accuracy as the exponent OF the Executive
During the last eighteen months, in nearly one
half of the important movements of the govern
ment, 1t has rnisrepre falsiied, deceived,
cheated, and humbugged the country. Whether
this deception grew out OF design or ignorance, we
cannot tell, bat the result on the public mind was
the same.


But FIVE have no faith in the statements or pre-
dictions of the organ, we place some confidence
in the common sense of the President and the
Cabinet. They must see the necessity of prose-
cutting this war with spirit and energy, until it is
brought to a successful and early termination.
What we want Of Mexico is very simple, indeed
payment for her lawless spoliations Of the past,
security for the future, and also a new boundary
line between the two republics. The war must
be prosecuted until these secured, and if
nothing else than revolution in Mexico will effect
these measures, let that be done In the present
state OF the question: we ought to insist upon taking
possession Of, and keeping Upper California, and
certain portions OF New Mexico, as a guaranty
that the terms and agreement into which the gov
ernment of Mexico may enter, will be faithfully
kept and accomplished.


Unless these views animate the President and
the administration, they will soon get into one of
the most uncomfortable demmas and complica-
ton OF difficulties that ever men were in. Amy
quarrels or disputes between the President and
Cen Scott will not be olerated;' any delay in call
ing the whole force of fifty thousand men
into the field at once, will be equally less tolerated
Unless the war be prosecuted with determination
and energy, we may have France and England
on our backs. And the complication of our
foreign relations may be such as to throw the
President and his Cabinet on their beam ends
and put the country into an awkward predica-
ment. We are beginning to have a reputation in
England and throughout the civilized world, and
that reputation must be supported by land and by
sea, and in every department of the government
Lord John Russell calls the United States " one
OF the greatest nations Of the globe" Let us not
forget that.


TEMPLEToN's CoNcERTs.-Mr. Templeton the
vocalist, resumes his concerts for the at the
Tabernacle this evening. He is prepared with an
entirely new entertainment, called his "Rem-
nscences of the Grand Opera" The first por-
ton of this entertainment will be given tonight,
comprising Lecture on incidents connected
with the Italian Opera in England" with a num-
Der of gems connected with ths-in which
Tempeton bore most distinguished part, during
his operate career. 1t will be recollected that Mr.
Templeten, during the celebrated career of Ma
dame Malibran, in England, was the principal
tenor which sustained her, while she created such
enthusiasm among the musical and fashionable
people of England. These entertainments will
embrace, in the course, these gems, in which he
sung with Malibran.


Mr.. Templeton has taken the Tabernacle, the
most extensive public building in the city, to sa-
tisfy those who wish to hear him. His opening
here is quite an event in the musical world and
in other respects, is important and interesting to
the public. There has been an attempt recently
made by certain persons, Of the disreputable
portion of the newspaper press in this city, put
down Mr. Templeton, to destroy his reputation,
both private and profcssional-break up his con-
certs, and create a riot, if possible. The cause
assigned for this attempt is the most worthless
and mercenary that can be imagined it is sim
ply because Mr.. Templeton managed his own bu-
siness in his own way, and resisted all exorbtant
exactions for pufs, from thoso connected with
the disreputable portion of the press in this city
Mr.. Templ'ton has given no offence to the pub
hc--he stands well with them. But the disrepu-
table portion of the press, who want to levy mo-
ney and get living out of public characters, wish
to step in between him and the public, to satisfy
their own malevolence and spleen. Whether
such purpose will succeed, the issue, tonight,
VIII tell In the meantime, we understand that
the police will have strong force to protect Mr..
Templeton and his audience in their rights. Any
person attempting to disturb the audience, is lia-
BILE to be arrested and lodged in the watch-house;
and we have no doubt that it will be done, on the
manifestation of the slightest disturbance or rest.
Those who dislike Mr.. Templeton, and have no
relish for his beautiful music, can stay away.
Those who have relish for his talents and musi-
cal abilities, by paying fifty cents and going to the
Tabernacle, have a right to hear the vocalist un-
disturb ed, and should not be intimidated by any
mercenary gangs. Apropos, on this subject there
Is in an obscure morning PAPER, of no circulation
and less character, an intimation, that what we
have said in relation 10 Templeton, has been pur
chased as an advertisement. This is a pure false
hood and calumny. Everything which has ap-
peared in these columns, of Templeton, in the
way OF theatrical or editorial notice, has been
voluntary, and no charge has been or will be
made by us, and no offer made by him. All init
nations to the contrary are utter falsehoods. If
MI Templeton be put down, then it will estab-
hsn, on popular basis, the legitimacy and Justice
Oh 'he biack-mail system, so much talked about
Z Connection with the New York press Let us
have decision either one way or the other, and
we shall be perfectly satisfied
