THE FLAG OF THE REPUBLIC WAVES OVER THE
HALLS THE MoNTEzUMAs


Our readers will learn, by The news in another
column, which we publish from the New Or
leans Picayune, that Gen Scott has taken the
City of Mexico and planted our banner upon its
walls. F.. .a-ta8 2: =as., ,'.ag,ru - ,z.Ia.@
The accounts, it is true, are mostly from Mexi
sources but they are sufficient to establish the
fact that the armistice was terminated, after all
hopes of getting peace had vanished, and that then
our forces attacked the Mexicans, and, after a
sharp Struggle, captured The City. This is all, in
our opinion, which we can certainly and confident
ly rely upon. Further advices will be looked for
with painful interest. -g r.. aae.'5.E1ae i>'f'.


The Washington Union, in noticing the failure
Of negotiations and the capture of the City, says
/, f",The maddened course of Mexico calls for all
our energies. We have offered the olive branch
Of moderate character She has dsdained our
overlures ard rejected our terms, aud, ia lieu Of
them, is said 10 have proposed other terms which
would cover US with disgrace d .Af = !. e. 90


8" We must hesitate no longer. We must make
Mexico feel the pressure and power of war--her
ports occupied, troops thrown upon her country 10
overrun and oVerwhelm her, supported by requisi-
lions upon her infatuated people until she will con-





ofpeace. We have talked long enough. We have
shown humanity TO her, until has become cruelty
to ourselves. We must be done with This kind o.
war, TOO much like peace and we must conquer
peace by those means only which are calculated
TO effect it.. n. .r,.. ~. so-. tt ...s


"As one officer writes u.s. five days after the
battle of Churubusco: Days have rolled on. and
still no move is made 10 possess ourselves Of The
fruit for which our brave soldiers have toed aud
bled, although within grasp. We are told the
old story over again we must conciliale 10 negOti-
ate. Have not had words enough with that
crafty rascal, Santa Anna? | tell you what be-
lieve TO be important fact: 10 gel peace we must
conquer, not concale peace; and 10 do this, we
must conquer the. people," -..


The above is in the right spirit--it is now the
united voice of nne-tenths of the American people,
Our troops ought hencclorth to forage on the ene-
my. They ought to draw their support from
Mexico Contributions should be levied in all
quarters upon the Mexican people; and we must
cease to offer them the olive branch and to talk of
peace. Let the Administration at Washington
draw the sword and fling away the scabbard; and
let vengeance, and fire, and desoIating war walk
among this stubborn and infatuated people, until
they shall cry and beg for mercy. This is the on
ly course now left to,the American government,
and upon the head of Mexico be the responsibility
the suffering, and the loss
