The whig press is now taking as its cue-words
peace and negotiation with Mexico. Does she offer
the olive branch1 Has she told us that she is
willing to receive minister with full powers to set
tie the terms Of peace' No one pretends it. Even
Mr.. Webster himself, whilst he advises us to send
grave and solemn embassy to Mexico, de-
clares that she does not wish to treat with
US. Why, then, these idle descants upon the
blessings of peacel The constant exhortatons
to peace are only calculated to defeat their OBJ
ject. They induce Mexico to believe we are so anx-
lous to make peace, and desirous to avoid the
penses Of the war, that we will make peace upon any
terms and il is calculated prevent her from seeking
peace with us. We cannot obtain permanent peace
with her until she sees that nothing but war, and a
most destructive war, awaits her, unless she desires
and seeks negotiation in good faith IN this point Of
view, Mr. Webster's speech not to speak of it's nu-
rnerous and gross contradictions, is in the worst
possible taste.


The whig papers have also been prating about
Mr.. McDufie's having measure to propose which
will "terminate the Mexican war by a speedy ad-
iustment." No one has a higher opinion Of Mr..
McDufie's ingenuity than we have; but we should
doubt the report altogether unless he has discovered
more effectual mode Of carrying on the war with
more vigor and success. The shortest road to n
permanent peace with this Irrational and senseless
people," as Mr.. Webster calls them, is vigorous
and triumphant war. We doubt whether there is
any other royal road" to successful negotiation.
