taunt and Of sarcasm against the government which
sent them to the field


But the Intelligeneer is not alone 10 its attempt
TO peryeu and 10 misunderstood the language OF
General Taylor, as given in the letter from which
we have quoted. The New York Courier des Etats
Unis says, in reference to the same document "The
two last clauses of this letter are more important
than all the rest. The first Of them proves that
General Taylor feels the necessity of being sustain
ed by an energetic diversion, by operations under
taken against another ponl to sustain his 0'Oni the
second brings into the question an important
element, element which the government at
Washington has always and everywhere rtPHissd,
and especially and most recently repulSed IN this
very case Of Mexico This new element now pro-
claimed by man whose competency as judge
cannot be denied is the fact Of The necessity Of Euro
psan msdaiioR in the affairs Of the United States"


This is ridiculous IL is impossible to Usdgs INTO
the compass Of few lines greater number Of most
manifest and heinous blunders than the French
journal has concentrated in this paragraph. IL is
wholly untrue that Gen Taylor, in what he says Of
an attack on Tampico and Vera Cruz, says or init
mates anything whatsoever about "the necessity" Of
energetic diversion" Of any diversion, to


sustain his own line ofoperatons No such thought
appears to have been in his mind. As we have al
ready said, General Taylors operations where he
now is, are Of vast importance, as every politician
must perceive. Besides what will prevent the
views Of Gen Taylor, Of an attack upon the points
he specifies being carried out with all proper means,
and in the proper season. Should Mexico madly
refuse the olive branch, which the President has
offered her, then we may put forth all the energy
and oil the power which the crisis may demand to
secure a triumphant and glorious war, hon
oable and a permanent peace. IL Is utterly I'M
essity" Of European Intervention" in the az
fairs Of the United States" The statement is
mere ealumny on the patriotism OF that gal


ant officer. His words refer merely TO the
obs6nSey and blindness Of the Mexican govern
meH And for this spirit the remedy which he
proposes is something quite different from "Euro-
pear Intervention" IL is again utterly untrue that
our government has always, and everywhere, and
mos, Of all in the case Of Mexico, rsp,lsd the idea
Of such intervention" And for the best Of oil rsa
sons In the case Of the Mexican war, it has not
been offered. Certainly, trust that it will not be
inuOEed by our government We strongly doubt
its utility. In the affair Of Texas, we had such an
Intervention. II did not then take such a shape as
to invite a repetition Of it. At least we are sure
that our government and our country can manage
their affairs without the necessity of iHviiing
esptipg the Intervention of any European power.
