Our Past and Futtre Course towards Mexico. one Wat ate we to Dot wit would be the height of absurdity to regard théwhidle Mexican policy of the administration; from the beginning, as uniform or unerring. | It hes'not been so. It is impossible it could have been’, There'could not have been found seven men.in the country, at the commencement of thi#'war, who knew Mexico—the character of its people—their capacity to carry on war—theit plinwoy—-for it cannot be called stubbornness— under innumerable defeats. The: lights, our rulers had to. guide them were false’ lights; .and no. wonder, that jn’’advancing “to their ‘object, they have often‘ stumbled. They possessed no personal \ribwiedge’ of the people ‘with whom: they had to contend; and being obliged to act at nice; they were compelled to rely upon the re- presentations, of. those who. had been in the country, some of whom were incapable from prejudice, others fromvignorance, of giving pru- ‘dent and proper counsel. That the administra- tion,should, have. frequeatly erred under these circumstances, is not at all surprising. The English government has been seven hundred | ‘years learning the character of the Irish people; and they.do not know it yet. We knew very | ditelemore:of Mexico, when we entered on the | task’ of chastising her, than the English did of Jreland in Henry the Second’s time. But we have Jéarncd much—we have uilearned much; end our after course must be guided by the Knowledge we have laboriously gained. Here- after a blunder willbe a crime. “We can no longer depend upon Santa Anna to promote peace. He may have entered into the ‘straggte with a determination to work for peace, but he. threw himself into..the popular current, *and it bore him onwards, powerless to resiat. ‘He is now thrown on the. strand, bruised and Wounded, without strength to make war, with- ‘put influence to promote, peace. He may, to be gure; reeup~rate; but it will be only to lead a for- ‘Wer hopé of bootlesa’ petty warfare, and, after rejecting the terms offered through Mr. Trist, Je Cannot yenture to make peace on terma less moderate. } | Jt is evident, tco, thet the party favorable to peace, from the commencement, has not such weight as it has been represented by some very sanguine pereons to possess. Nor does this or any other party in Mexico, regard without | interest the struggle between the two countries. | ‘The most powerful and cogent argument made | against the United States on the merits of this | ‘war, is that contained im the letter of the Mexi- an. commissioners, someof whom, and we be- lieve'@ majority, have been hitherto pacifically | ‘We must not then hug these specious delusions ‘Jonger. It is an insult to the people of the United ‘Staten-to attempt to deceive them into a fur- ‘ther sapport of the war, on shallow and false pre- ‘tences. Tt isa trick that no honest administra- tion should resort to. It is one to which the -administration should scorn to stoop, however much the journal professing to be their organ would labor to induce that belief. he people | have aright to be made acquainted with the true tate of the case. Their nerves are strong | ‘enough to hear the trath to be told bluntly and ,without reservation. They should" at once be | nonestly told- that there is no prospect of peace | except in the total subjugation of the country, and’that they must prepare themselves for a pro- tracted struggle. Among those thiage sedulously to be avoided, i the raising of false issues. One of these false isenes is, that the war was commenced, among ‘Other things, to compel Mexico to pay us what sheowed. If this be made an issue, it will in- yolvea contradiction of the averment that the war was begun by the act of Mexico. The war once begun, we were right in insisting, asone of the conditions of peace, upon a full liquida- ‘tion of our claims; but the indebtedness of Mex- deo should never be alleged as one of the causes of the war” Another false issue is, that the war must iow be waged with a view to the civiliza- tion of Mexico. This propagandism is a most | dangerous doctrine. The priaciple once recog: nized, there is no limit to ite agency. It is for- tunately by no means axiomatic that one nation has aright to civilize another nation less refined than itself, by carrying desolation into its heart, and annihilating its sovereignty. We cen- wured England for its Chinese war, although in the case of the latter, the doctrine of propagand- ism was not so abhorrent as it would be in the case of Mexicd. We should be extremely care- fal how we entail odium on ourselves by pro- feeping to be actuated by the principle in regard to that country. The onJy plea that can justify the dubjugation ‘and ‘absorption of Mexico, gia consist in’ a wringént political necessity. Such a necessity is-almost certain to arise. Why, then, multiply the issues, when such a course can but invalidate our cause.

Bowery Cincus AmenitHratar.—Mr. Tryon pre sents some. most elegant and graceful scenes here this wvoning. Horsemanship will form the ohief feature.of the night, and Messrs. Carroll, G. Smith, Master Odell and Miss Madigan, the infant rider, will all appear in choice scenes, such as the beautiful equestrian ballets of “The Sprite of the Silver Shower,” “The Yankee Tar,” &o., and Messrs. Smith, Donaison, and Conover will open their budget of fun the metamorphoses of the “Sack and Sante Anna’s Retreat.’’ The cirous is decidedly one of the most amusing places of entertainment in the city. Ersrorian Senenapens.—T here id no lack of good au- Aiences to hear these serenaders sing their popular dit- ties, and from the excellent arrangements of Mejor Dum- bolton, the manager of the troupe, every oné is well ac-) ecmmodated with seats. The execution of the various jjeces of music on their simple negro instruments, is tru- iy harmonious; and; by the bye, those instruments are not all so simple—witness the accordion which Mr. Stan- wood manages so admirably. To-night their me inoindes some of their best pieces, such as ** Sugar Cane Green,” “Mary Blanes “Picayune Butler,” be- | sides severel pieces by Pell, and the: celebrated ever po- | puter “ Railroad Overture.” ; Cunisty’s Minstre.s.—Amid all the amusements now going on in town, this one does not fall behind any, at least if fall houses form any criterion to judge by. There is a great teste among us New Yorkers now-a- days for the simple and pleasing style of ballad singing which these minstrels give, seasoned as it is by their jokes and oddities. When negro singing was first intro- ‘duced as a direct branch of amusement, grossneas and vulgarity were but too often substitated for humor and wit; but this is now all changed, and one of the most ex- cellent features in these entertsinments now is the deti- cate and absolutely spiriturl character of the songs. It is really what may be termed the refinentent of singing. Mcsic 1x Brooxuyn—Henat Herz anv Camitro S1- Concent.—The large room of the Female Acade- my, Jeralomon street, at Brooklyn, was filled last eve- ning with a very fashionable audience, composed of tho moat respectable families of our neighbor city.
