WAsHINGToN CITY, Nov 25, 1S46.

 Alta large meeting convened here on Monday eve ming last to make soHe public demonstration of re- spect towards Capt. WALKER. who reached Wash ington on the previous evening, witnessed Il stale of things which did my heart good. This was snmistskeable proof that in spite of federal clam. ors against the war, the public pulse in Washington beats purely m unison with our country's cause.- Such enthusiasm have rarely witnessed. When. ever the wrongs inflicted on us by Mexico the eff cient steps at last taken force redress or the Qa

 ant conduct of the regulars and volunteers were com mented on by the gentlemen who addressed the vast throng, il heaved as with but single bosom Tn re spouse to patriotic sentiments. The federal leader, know little of human nature now, as ever before or they would hardly venture deliberately to place the of their cause in the great strugg between ihe parties, what they may be able to ef. feet in the way of rendering the odious to the masses. l can hardly realize that they are SO foo hardy; and yet every original paragraph about the war to be found in the leading federal newspapers tells beyond doubt that they msaa to stand or fail with lhe prospect of transferring public sympathy from the case Of their country to that of Mex. co. In 1912 and "A, they denied that they were a. gainst their country, and with much reluctance now, they then maintained that their opposition was but to the administration of James Madison which had, according to their logic, reckessy and heed lessly (if not with sinister ambitio") plunged the country into the war with Brlian. "This is the of i'm Madison and the democrats-Iet them get out of 1t they got into it." echoed by the federal leaders of those days from Maine 10 Louisiania. Now, the cry is, this is Folks war, and we AwiIl shold him and his party responsible for every dollar of s cost. and for the blood of ev- cry American dying west of the Nueces, by sword bullet or fever!

 Who does not that the anti.war spirit of JS46 is but re-hash of the Hartford Convention of 1872 As the latter stamped the foreheads of the old fed. sral leaders of New England, so will the former mark those who adopt It with sign so odious that after 184S. when the attachment of the people to their counys will be developed at the bal loi boxes. even the conductors of the National Tn. telligencer, the prime lender of Mexicanism, will try 10 feel insuIled when charged with opposon to this The tone of the Walker meeting (wirh- out distinction of party) was 'hand writing on the wa'' pointing to the identification of the moral treason of 1872 and l6i6. in too plain manner to be misunderstood by any one present.

 The visit of Walker to Washington, probably has reference to the arming of the rifle regiment in which he holds the rank of captain. The heads of the different bureaus of ihe War Department have heretofore been possessed with an unconsc scioaable aversion 10 Coli's revolvers, with which the Texas rangers have been armed for years Now, these troops attribute great pat of the efficiency which has won them so many encomums, To the superiority of thls weapon, which, their hands. is always ta ken care of The older officers of the army, how. ever, have maintained that it is too complicated and requires much continuous attention to trust in the hands of other than picked men. I am satisfied from the experience of the rangers, one and all, with it, that these objections will be found 10 he baseless fair and full trial and that the united ap peal of Hays, Mccullough, Walker himself, and their subordinates. may induce the government to sanction the nnov iton and thus render the new reg. uar regman, of rifles as efficient as tho Texas ran. gers-for the men enlisted therein are in all respects as well qualified to become good soldiers.

 Nothing further is known of the destination of Gen. Scott and his staff, who, with any quantity of baggage, certainly left Washington yesterday via the Baltimore Rail Road. Where has he eope1 where has he gone is echoed at the corner of every street in the city. There's the rub. No one ap- pears to know positively where he has gone though each has somewhat different bui plausible pan for his journey. still hold to the opinion that he s to head the troops called out under the late reoos,,ion who with the Kentucky mounted men, w, he re. quired to operate in Mexico. immediately on the coast of the Gulf. also think that by some under. standing Taylor's command is to be separate and distinct from that of the Commander Chief which only be 60, by and through instructions to Scott in no manner 10 interfere with Taylor whom he will have right to direct, except when forbidden by his superiors in authority. Except Scott, we have no officer unemployed in active service of suf cieni rank and experience to head so many troops in the field. These facts lead me 10 believe that he weHds his way towards the Southwest, rather ttan to the north which direction he headed on leaving Washington.

 The federasts have but recently determined to concentrate good portion of their efforts in an at, tempt 10 convince the north that the southern demo. ocrsts regard only the annexation of Texas but the Mexican war, as undertaken wholly and solely for southern aggrandizement, Your readers will be
