This sheet will be served gratis to the regular subscribers of Go Tena —== The War with Mexico. ‘The sword is now drawn, on the Rio Grande, between the United States and Mexico. The two greatest republics in the world are at war with each other. The Mexicans have openly appeared on the north side of the Rio Grande; and the United States government owes it to itself, its | honor, and its name, to defend the frontier which | we call our own, and to punish the insults, mur- | ders and atrocities perpetrated by the armies of the Southern republic. | We are now at war! This disastrous result is | believed by all to have been brought about by the blunderings of the Executive and his Cabinet at.| Washington. All parties in this community, and the journals of every faction—even those that be- | long to the party that elected him, as well as those | that opposed his election—agree unanimously in | condemning the imbecility and imprudence of the President and his advisers. It is, however, too | late to change our policy, or improve the mentay | capacity of the man we elected as President. We must be contented with the President and his advisers as they came from the God of Nature— with their weaknesses, their follies, and their faults, and all that make them unfit for the posi- tions they occupy. It is the duty of Americans, when the henor of their country is at stake, and | when the eyes of the whole world are upon us, to | lay aside all party and personal criminations and | reoriminations, and unite the whole republic as | one man, animated by one soul, one impulse, one | throb, and one great purpose. The government, | in its legislative and executive branches, must | be unanimously supported, by the North, the South, the East, and the West, in bringing this war to a successful termination, on a scale of mag- nitude and bravery that shall tell the whole world that the United States form a people and a nation whoee interests and honor cannot be trifled with from any quarter. The intimation which has | been given, that fifty thousand men will be sent into Mexico, we have no doubt will be carried out by Congress, and be supported by the whole na- tion. Let us sink all personal and petty divisions and trifling asperities,tin the defence of our South- ern frontier. Let the action of Congress be prompt and decisive. Lot that body show grit and gristle at once, and come up to the scratch like men. | This war we have always predicted, in the midst of the fanfaronade and folly of Congress— | in the midst of the debates on the Oregon ques- tion in both Houses. It was no doubt the policy and purpose of France and England to have aided in the creation of this war, out of the an- nexation of Texas, in order to chock the growth of republicanism and r@publican institutions, on this continent, and-in Europe. Whether the Mexican government has been assisted by these powers, remains to be seen. It has received mo- ney and assistance from some secret quarter, Probably the Catholic priests of Mexico inay have farnished this aid; at all events, if the war be not conducted with energy by the United States, the result will be hailed with gratitude by our enemies, in France, England, and over all Europe. We can, under present circumstances, have no war with England or any other country. Letall our energies be used in this war with Mexi- co, and let our government strike 2 blow on the Rio Grande, south to the city of Mexico, and west to California, that will amaze and surprise not only America, but Europe itself. We are on the vergo of vast and uygmown changesin the desti- iy of nations. sso. utIon or Mr. Potx’s present CaBINet.— » have received private information from ‘Washington, leadipg us to believe that an effort will be made to dissolve the present cabinet of Mr. Polk, and replace it by some of the principal democratic members of both Houses. In the prosent crisis of eur affairs with Mexico, the extraordinary blunders in the War Depart- ment, and elsewhere, would seem to justify sueh a step. Why should not some such effort be made, having for its object the appointment of such men as Calhoun, or Benton, or Cass, or Breese, or Hayward, or some other like men of | energy, from both Houses of Congress? Mr. Polk | and his cabinet are certainly in an awkward predi | oament, and how they will get out of it, it is difficult to predict. Tux Action or Concress—THe Tanirr, Sus- Treasuny, &c.—War with Mexico is now posi- tive and certain—a war which may last many years, atan enormous cost. This event will exer- cige @ most important influence upon all our fo- reign, but especially on our domestic policy, for a long time to come. We allude specially to the tariff and the sub-treasury, as well as to all those other measures growing out of the reduction of expenditures. This war will call for an increased expenditure in all directions, and for accumulated energy in all quarters. We may, therefore, at once settle down content upon this question of war, and leave the others exactly where they now stand. The tariff cannot be touched for the purpose of reduction ; it must rather be increased. The sub- treasury will be heard of no more. All adminis- trative reforms contemplated, in relation to the army and navy, must now be laid upon the shelf, for good and all. Another very important ques- tion will also now be laid aside —and that is, any further negotiations or difficulties upon the Oregon question, with Great Britain. Our affairs with Mexico, as they are now situated, will absorb all attention, and determine al! other questions pending in Congress. They will fix our government, both executive and legislative, en- | one regiment will be ready to start by to-night. The News Received Yesterday. We received" yesterday morning by ‘the Magnetic Telegaph trom Philadelphia, a de spatch from our correspondent in that city, which contained some further intelligence con- firmatory of the recent events en the Rio Grande frontier, and also giving Ms news from Washington of the extraordinary excitement that those events have created there, and of the probable steps that will be instantly adopted by | the Executive and Congress. A terrible retribu- | tion awaits the Mexicans, It is proposed to embody an army of FIFTY THOUSAND MEN, and call into requisition whe whole force of the navy. We are also in- formed from another quarter, that there will pro- bably be a change in theCabinet. All parties agree in denouncing the culpable secrecy and im- becility of the Executive and his advisers. The following was received by the ,Southern mail, from Baltimore :— May 10, 7 o’Crocx, P, M.
