The Mexican War—Its Morality, dic. ‘The actual fighting is finished in Mexico; but there seems to be another war breaking out—a ioral war—a war in which statesmen and news- paper writers, on both sides of the Atlantic, are beginning to take an active part. In the present age of the world, editors and statesmen are as important personages as warriors and generals. Newspapers, in all free countries, such as France, England and the United States, form a species of volunteer statesmen, or legislative bodies— warriors and soldiers, generals and privates, only follow the impulses originated in newspa- pers and legislative bodies; and when the fighting is over, the newspaper press and the statesmen again resume their original sway. Such is goinz to be the character of the new movement in relation to the Mexican war. The morality of the conflict, the character of the com- batants, the honesty of Mr. Polk, are becoming matters of investigation throughout the civilized world. The newspapers in London and Paris are juet as active in the discussion, as those of New York and Washington. On many occa- sions after the arrival of steamers,we have given extracts from the journals of London and Paris on this subject; and our readers are aware, that generally, the European press have, imal shades condemned the morality of the Mexican war, condemned the honesty of’ Mr. Polk, condemn- ed the mode in which the war has been carried on, and conderned the United States for encou- raging our government in its prosecution, or ap- plauding our generals for fighting so well. The Times and the Chronicle,of London, and the Jour- nal de Debats, of Paris, are the most conspicuous in these views, although they have very little to say against the morality of the English, in India or China, or the honesty or humanity of the French, in Algiers. The strong moral war getting up by the govern- ment press in France and England, against this country, for its conduct in the Mexican war, is beginning to find a great deal- of assistance and aid in this country, from a number of our dis- tinguished statesmen and leading journals. Mr. Clay has commenced this movement, in his famous Lexington speech, and it has been fol- lowed np by jeurnals in Washington, New York, and elsewhere; and now, the demonstration is made complete, by leading articles in such jour- nals as the Intelligencer of Washington, the Tri- bune of New York, and other jonrnals of like calibre throughout the country. Those states- men and journals even go farther in their denun- ciation of the war in all its aspects. In is origin, progress, and results, they even go farther than our highly respectable friends in London and Paris, who have such an interest in crying down every thing American and every thing re- publican. One point that seems to disturb their nerves very much, is the dishonesty of Mr. Polk in his recent message, in alleging that Mexico com- menced the war, while they say the contrary is the fact. Well, we,must admit, on this point, people a hostile feeling, bly, first in the war against Texas. One step led to another. By the declaration of inde- pendence of Texas, a coumter feeling was produced on the part of Mexico; but it is not ne- cessary to repeat those histerical facts which originated the differences between the two peo- ple, for they are known to the whole world.— Technically, Lord Palmerston and Mr. Guizot, the London press and the Paris press, together with Mr. Clay and the whig press in this coun- try, may be right in ascribing the first act of hos- tility on the Rio Grande, to the movements of Mr. Polk in giving orders to General Taylor; but on the question of general morality between the American and Mexican republic, or between the American people and the Mexican people, the ba- lance of good faith and honesty of intention, 18 decidedly in favor of the United States, and against Mexico. Mexico commenced her in- dependence with bad faith, outrage, barbarism, ignorance and folly, all perpetrated towards the people of the United States. Her people are in- capable of self-government; they are in the po- that Mr. Polk has been very disengenuous in his recent message, and did not state the case fairly, or produce the proper impression, when he gave out the idea that the war was begun by Mexico, on the Rio Grande, by attacking some of Gen. ‘Taylor's outposts. Mr. Polk isa narrow-mind- ed man; he is a small country lawyer from Ten- nessee,possessing an intellect not much above that of the little pettifogging practices of a common yate country lawyer. The weakness and imbeci- lity displayed in his recent message, whilst he por sessed such splendid materials, proved the inefii- ciency of his mind and the want of great capa- city in his intellect. W admit all that in rela- tion to Mr. Polk; but we do not admit, on the general question that is involved between the United States and Mexico, in the broadest sense of the term, that the war was commenced at all by the United States. From the very moment that Mexico declared her independence from Spain, her eflorts were recognized with the highest sympathy by all the people of the United States. Onevery occasion, she was befriended by our government and by our people. Yet in spite of these generous feel- ings exhibited towards the early efforts of Mexico, that republic, as a nation, and as va people, commenced, the first year of their in- dependence, by gross outrages sanctioned by their government, their journals, and their public opinion, ogainst citizens of the Uni- ied States. This hatred and outrage in- creased for years. Negotiations, it is true, took place, and treaties were made; but all the nego- tiations and all the treaties were violated, when- ever it was necessary to escape from their fulfil- ment, by the Mexican people, and their rulers. The incapacity of the Mexican race, as they at present exist, to establish a form of republican sition of a mad man owning a house that borders near or is connected with that ofa man of sense; and the man of sense is compélled, in self-de- tence, and on the general principles of good sense and sound morality, to take the madman under his charge. We have, thus far, asa people, as a nation, con- quered Mexico, and probably we shall retain her. The nations of Europe and thre journals of Eu- rope, afraid at the progress of this country, may denounce us in the broadest. terms, as immoral, unjust, barbarous, and everything else. Mr. Clay and the leading journals of the whig party, may do the same thing; but it remains yet to be ascertained whether the Ipalance of good faith is not in favor ef the United, States. TueatTricaL.—The thr ee great theatres, which consider themselves fasfhionable, and charge a dollar, accordingly, are how engaged in one of the most interesting cut-t hroat games that can be possibly imagined. The: up-town fashionables patronise the Astor Opera, and the down-town fashionables are divided between the Park and the Broadway theatres. Another has come into the field—the beautiful Augusta, at Palmo’s Opera House, which, under her management, promises to take a distinguished part in the contest. On Monday night, the attendance at each of these three houses was insignificant— hardly one of them puid expenses, Attwo of them Italian Opera was presented, and in very goodstyle, too. The Astor Place Opera has a very extensive company, complete in all its parts; but it is also very expensive, and ifthey continue open for the whole of the sed son, it will be a miracle. The Broadway theatre ‘is struggling with its des- tiny, and trying to esté blish a character without resorting to horses. "The Park is probably ina worse condition; for it seems to have nothing of a fashionable characte? to attract attention, and we suppose it will awe to bring out some large horses as stars, or some fat children, or some other Jusus nature of some kind or other, unless the manager ‘can get. Grisi or Mario, or catch Rubini on his journe y to Havana, or the famous Keller family of naketd figures, who produced so great a sensation in Paris last year, when’ we were. there. One of those three theatres must shut up very soon—two of them will have their throats cut soon, and we would not be surprised if all three were laid on their beam-ends before long. The Astor Place Opera, from the money con- tributed by subscription, may continue the last in the field. The Broadlway is in a singularly doubtful condition; bit the fate of the Park seems to be absolutely sealed. When Augusta comes out with the beautiful ballet, we shall see what we shall see. While thus tottering fortunes have pursued the fashionable theatres, it is astonishing to see how the cheap theatres—the Bowery, the Chat- ham, and even the dirty Olympic—succeed and make money. On Monday night, while the Broadway hardly paid expenses, the Bowery was overwhelmingly and suflocatingly full. Levi North, the famous equestrian, both rider and steed immortal in their names, created a greater sensation and collected a greater audience than all the prima donnas from Italy ever did at the Broadway or Astor Place Opera. It is true, it is only twenty-five cents a head at the Bowery; but cheapness and enthusiasm seem to go together at those theatres, Judging, there**"* from appearances, the fash- ionable theatres in New York seem to be in a very unhappy condition, and the sooner that some of them have recourse to horses and stage tumbling, the more profitable it will be for the treasuries. Important Potrrican Mertinas on Foor.— The symptoms are very significant in this city, that the two great parties mean to take up, res- pectively, Henry Clay and Martin VangBuren, as their candidates for the” Presidency in the ap- proaching election. The democratic press here are evidently in favor of Mr. Van Burenas their candidate,in preference to Mr. Polk,or any other man. A meeting of this party will be held for the selection of standing committees to-morrow, and we think we shail be able to decide by that election that Van Buren is the man of the demo- cracy here. On the other side of the question, the whigs appear desirous of going for Clay. In Williamsburg, one of our faubourgs beyond the East River, a great meeting was recently held, at which that distinguished politician, Joseph Hoxie, made one of his famous speeches, and Mr. Clay was put forth as the candidate and the embodiment of the whig party. Another great meeting is to be held on Monday, it having been postponed trom Thursday to that day—all in favor of Mr. Clay. The whig politicians in this re- gion seem to be decidedly against Gen. Taylor and Gen. Scott, and in favor of Mr. Clay. How long this will last, no one can tell. Souruamrron anp Barmen Sreamers.—The Southampton and Bremen Ocean Steam Navi- gation Company, will cause the keel of the third steamer to be laid immediately, and all possible despatch used to complete her. The encouragement in the way of an increas- ed trade on the other side of the Atlantic, and the success which has already attended the progress of the company, has given additional animation to their efforts, and they are now de- termined, having the facilities and the encou- ragement, to carry out their original intention, without delay; and of consummating, to the let- ter, their contrast with the government. The attempts of some of the English papers to undervalue the stock. by misrepresentations and falsehoods of all kinds, can best be answered by comparing the last freight and passenger list of the Washington, with the steamers which sailed about the sametime. It isthe most conclusive refutation we can give. The Hermann, second in the line, will be so farcompleted as to make a trial trip some time next month, and willleave on her first voyage on the 20th February. Hiouty Important Dinngr Corresronpgnce. —We find in the party papers of yesterday, some highly important dinner correpondence, which has recently taken place between some of our citizens, and one ofjthe official editors, and the S-cretary of the Navy, inviting the latter to par- take of a hasty plate of soup in this city. As there is more in this correspondence than the public, or even a great many of the signers of it, are aware of, we publish it in full, for the purpose of making a few appropriate remarks on the real objects which were at the bottom of the movement, and informing some of the gen- tlemen who figure among the names/ot the committees, how nicely they have been taken in and used, to subserve the ends and views of a few office-seekers and contract diggers. The following is the correspondence between the committee and Major Heiss, of the Union:— Dran Sin:—We, the eagle kena lle a under of a large number of their democrat’e fellow-citizens, request sr Pleasure of mee tadinner at————, at such a Terai cnt aera shart wakld taknectiisl 1s LNVItAtIOn, a thet the coutto-of the loummal of Which you ave one. of the conductors, in ite caminended our ot aad hay sesusetiy Soaire Micblgedustial colleague, al Tue new Sreamsuir Cerxscunr Ciry.—The bad weather prevented the builder from comple- ting the arrangements for the launch of this vas- sel.

Y. MASON. Messrs. Charles H. Marshall, James Lee, and John J. Cisco, Committee. Now we haveno doubt that Mr. Heiss and Mr. Mason look upon those invitations as a mark of respect to themeelves (individually; if they do, they are wofully mistaken. They are respected just as much as they can be used to the advantage of afew individuals, and no more; and if they were not in the positions they oceupy, they might starve for want of a hasty plate of soup, before a spoonful would be offered to them by the chaps at the bottom of those movements. Let us explain, This unfortunate city of New York is inflicted with cliquesof hungry, voracious office-seekers and plunderers, who are eternally on the look out for an o' » a contract, or a sop of any description, which they will beg for as a hungry dog will for a bone, and devour it with the same avidity as a skeleton spaniel would a pound of beef, The moment any person of inflence in Washington announces his determination to come to New York, no matter whether on plea- sure or business, these voracious sharks hold a a caucus and set their wits to work about get- ting up a dinner to him; and in the preparation of which, they will of course figure very con- spicnously. Such was the course adopted in this case; for Mr. Mason has a great many con- tracts within his gift, and Mr. Heise, being one ping-stone between the office-seeker or the con- tract-seeker, and the secretary. Accordingly, the plans are laid—a tender of a hasty plate of soup must be made to those gentlemen by the office- seekers, and anumber of our respectab'e mer- chants and other citizens must be made tools of for the purpose. The lettér of invitation is according- ly written,and hawked round town,and signed by the merchants, as much to get rid of the unfortu- nate fellows who go about with it,tas any thing else. After a sufficient number of signatures is obtained, Mr. Walker or Mr. Heiss receives it, and declines the soup. The correspondence is then published in the papers, the politicians ap- pear cheek by jowl with some of our highest and most influential merchants, ard the impression created that they are in the habit of associating with them. This would impress the Secretary with the belief that the fellows who are boring him for contracts or offic: s, are men of influence in this city—the very object contemplated by them—and the game is complete. Such is the manner in which the most of these dinners are got up,%nd such the objects in view. It is really too bad that our government officers cannot be allowed to come to this city without being annoyed in this way, by those hungry po- liticians who care as much for them individual- ly as they do to which party they belong, so that they can finger some of the plunder. The mo- ment a public functionary sets his foot here, he is seized—laid violent hands upon—actually ar- rested, as if he were a fugitive from justice, and were trying to escape the penalty due to his crimes, How mortified some of the really influential men on these committees would feel, if they but knew how sweetly they have been imposed upon! Tue Sreamer Union is now in her twenty- first day. ‘Theatrical and Musical, Panx Tueatne.—The performances at the Park ‘Theatre last evening, ¢Unsisted of the “ Heir at Law” and “Rob Roy McGregor.” Both pieces were credi- tably performed. Mr. Base and Mrs. Vernon as Lord and Lady Duberly, and Mr. Dyott as Dick Dowlass, as wellas G. Andrews in the character of Zekiel Home- spun, the very most of the parts allotted to them. The after-piece went off with spirit. Mr. Dyott as Rob Roy McGregor, and Mr. Bassas Bai Nichol Jarvie, were well of in their parts, and ga all that effect to the piece which melo-drama es) clally requires. To-night, Mr. Blake, the treacurer, takes a benefit, and offers a bill, which certainly ought to be an in@ucement for the patrons of the Park to come out, Miss Heron and her sister, with Mr. Arthurson, will ap pear. ‘The pieces to be presented are,‘ The Spoiled Child? The Lost Letter,” and ‘The Irish Tutor,” with several songs, as interludes. Bowery Turatae.—Although the weather last even- ing was any thing but favorable to theatricals, yet the Bowery was very well filled; and no wonder, for thei was a bill of entertainments produced which could vie with any ever performed at this or any other theatre, to our knowledge. The first plece performed was the drama of “Valsha, or the Revolt of the Slaves,” and al- though on the whole it was well done, yet we cannot give Mr. Hall much credit for his slave. His part is o very important one in this drama, and he must not be 50 passionless in it, He is too stiff, and takes things too muoh as matters of course, which he foresaw—neither must he indulge in the habit of turning his back tothe ‘audience, when delivering important passages, eo much ashe does. Indeed, wethink Mr. Hall isnot suited to take the character of Ludger at all. Mr. Clarke's talents are thrown away in this piece. He is an actor of great merit, but doesnot appear as such in this dra- ms. He shows {to better advantage when performing with Mrs. Shaw. Valsha wasjtaken by Mrs. Phillips, and if space permitted, we might say something of the many imperfections we noticed in her acting lastevening On the whole, hows the piece went off well, although it dragged somewhat at the end. Tho performances of Levi North and his horse Tammany were next in order. The ofcener we see horse the more extraordinary pears. Let those Who doubt the possibility of an imal of this kind dancing the Polka and keeping per- feot time, go to the Bowery. They will then see it done to perfection by Tammany, under the direction of the great equestrian, Levi North, and more besides,that they never dreamt of. The ‘Giselle’ was next performed, in whch Miss Turnbull gained additional laurels. A strong bill is put forth for to-night, embracing the dra- s y North and his horse Tammany, inwhich Miss Turnbull aod and the comedy ot A Kiss in the jatbali pear, Cnatnam Tueatre.—The “Black Mantle,” a drama of much interest, was repeated last night, toa tolerably good house, and we must say, that under the manage- ment of Mr. Hield, there seems to be a very great im- provement in the cast of characters and stage regula- tion. Branden, as Wenlock, was well received, and Nicholas, the village taylor, by Herbert, was given with such comic action, as to keep the audienco in con- tinual laughter. Lady Kowena, by Miss Hildreth, was played with o epee fair conception of the feeling: she entertained in being slighted by the Baron of the Marshes; and though last, not least, Eva, the Rose of Langley Dale, taken from her father’s house by the Ba- ron, was s capital representation of an agonised heart, in being torn from the humble but virtuous dwelling of her parent. ‘The entire piece went off with great effect. Next came the model artists. There is only one fault, and that is easily‘corrected—a little more firmness and steadiness of ton in one or two of the model artists, and Mr. Fletcher’s Tableaux Vivants, could not be con- sidered inferior to any similar exhibition that has been given in the United States. In fact, we are not aston- fohed at the elegance of these tableaux, as the menager has a thorough knowledge of all their bearings. Patmos Orena Hovse.—M'lle Augusta, the beautifa, and graceful dansuese, has, as we have previously stated, taken this house, for the purpose of producing a variety of French ballets, and also, for the first time in this country, the German vaudeville and comedy, which lat- ter wili be under the management of Messrs. Hermann and Deetz, from the first theatres in Vienna and Berlin; the ballet will be under Madame Augusta’s own care. Of the manner in which affairs will be conducted at this house, it is needless for us to speak. M’lle. A. is too fa- yorably known in this city, to require any praise on that score. She, herself, is incomparably the best dunseuse in this country, and has always ranked very high in the estimation of the public. She will fully maioteia this standing; and as in this house every thing will be under her own management, we may expect to see the ballets roduced in perfect style. Our’German population, too, eel opportunity of witnessing the vaudevilles and comedies of their own land, enacted by a superior com- pany of Germans, ina style which no other German performers in this country ever attempted. Altogether we look upon the opening of Palmo’s, under the present management, as anera in New York theatricals The performances, this evening, will be as follows:—The one act farce of the “Village Barber,” the first sot of the ballet of ‘La Sylphide; ’ the German vaudevi! “ Little Drummer,” and the ballet of the “Pages of the Duke of Vendome,” in which M’lle. A. will personate the first of a round dozen of beautifal pages. Mons Frederic, the dancer, also takes a part in both tho ballets. We may add that the price of admittance to the boxes and parquette, is 75 cents; to the second tier of boxes, 50 cents. C s-Bowenvy AmrmitHeatRe.—Sands, Lent & Cc mammoth froupe is causing quite a sensation in the eastern part of the i 4 and not only the eastern but all parts, as the house is nightly crowded with high- ly respectable audienc composed of family parties, lidies and gentlemen, s! gers in the city, &c., who all .o to see the beautiful exhibitions of this troupe of aplen- Gla equestrians, horses, ponies, &e, kc, Now, that holiday time may be said to have begun, heads of fami- lies cannot afford their little ones a greater ti thao to take them to the Cirous. The beautiful exhibition of Mr. R. Sands and his beautiful children, in their gymuastic and posturing exercises, cannot fail to delight every beholder of them, and the acts of sa ay eed by the equestrians, the dancing of Mr, Sweet on the tight rope, the surprising dooility and intelligence of the beautiful horse May Fly, not to speak of the astonishing performances of the pon! and the comicalities of the clowns, all combine to make an eyenicg at the Circus a pleasant one, Crnisty’s Mins tre.s.—The ball is still in motion,and so great is the applause isvished on the minstrels n'ght- ly frat they are inspirited more than ever to excel in their performances. Dark faces and harmonious voices are the things now-a-days to obtain praise, dollars and fan. Well, nothing is more gratifying than to gee a band of jovial fellows succeeding aa well as these do—it rhows that some appetite for auusement is still left in New York, only it requires real merit to satisfy it, and this these minatrols posess, ‘T'o-night they give un ex- cellent bill. Vinainra Serenanens.—This pateiotio band are suc. ovedicg well, and’send home their visiters well satified with their money's worth of rong. The peouliarly rich manner in which or, deliver their songs, and the qaiet humor displayedin their repartees, witty dialogues, &°.. sbow them to be scientific darkios, That burlesque of “ Stuffo? is a really laughable affair.
