ANNEXATION OF MEXICO.
The plot thickens. Event follows e-
vent in rapid succession. In spite of our
original purpose, nay of our positive op
position, fate is hurrying on a conclusion,
which few of us a month ago dreamed or
spoke of, but as an idle fantasy. That
which was some time hack, the theme for
remote political conjecture, the possibili
ty of accomplishing which no man dared
look in the lace, is now nearly (breed up
on us by an invincible necessity. We as
sumetl the war hurled upon us by Mexi-
ico with the reluctance of a nation, that
had nothing to gain by it. We fought
only (or defence. Our boundary line bus
been drawn—that must be maintained.—
In its defence we returned blow for blow.
The defeated enemy, by his cowardice
and obstinacy, is thrown upon the defen
sive. The costs of a defence against an
unjust War, must be paid by the offensive
and losing party. As long, too, as they
maintain a warlike attitude, their power to
do us mischief must be paisied, and their
means destroyed. For wise purposes, af
ter defeating them on our own soil, we
pass across the line and occupy theii
towns on the border. Still they are deaf
to reason and to pacific overtures.
Destiny lias effectually blindfolded
then), ami finding them unable to direct
ibeirown conduct, taking them under her
control, and rushes them long the resist
less current that bears them to the safe
and glorious harbor of annexation to ibis
Union.
The effective prosecution of a war thus
brought on, and thus inevitably prolonged,
imposed upon our nation the doty of pier
cing the enemy at various points. The
necessity of. I he ease—the consent of the
people—the protection of a long and ex
posed rear and flank—made it the. duty
of our conquering generals* to organize
the government of the terriloiy conquer
ed by them, so that the pool people might
hot be left in anarchy and defenceless.—
What was the mere temporary result of
“circumstances, is now, from the perma
nent obstinacy of the enemy, and grow
ing kindness of the conquered provinces
for our ruie likely to become a ‘fixed fact.’
“ IVar,” to invert Almonte’s language,
“ is annexation.” We have now to work
but a great purpose.
The great task of regenerating a na
tion of men, possessed of all the high at
tributes of humanity, but opposed and
kept down by adverse circumstances, by
misgovernment, by the ambition of mili
tary chieftains, has been imposed upon
us. In ibis view, an appeal is made to
our charity, to our philanthropy, more
potent than even the pressure of necessity,
to accomplish the high and noble end of
elevating nine millions of people from the
THE ADMINISTRATION—IT DE
SERVES A CORDIAL SUPPORT.
We feel that the Administration deserves
and is entitled to the hearty anti unani
mous support of the Democratic party in
Congress.. It deserves it- from the posi
tion of our affairs. It deserves it from
the able manner in which the government
has been administeted. The President
is the choice ot the Democrats—placed
where he is by their votes. He should
be sustained and aided by them in the
discharge of his duties. In lime of war,
he should be sustained, by the Whies too.
But we leave it to the Whig papers to ap
peal to them. It is the sentiment of the
people—and a strong and deep sentiment
it is. The people must feel that the Dem
ocrats in Congress have not acted well
thus far, this session, and if it should ad
journ without having passed all proper
measure to enable the Executive to dis
charge, with the energy and zeal he has
shown hiinsell willing to exhibit, his du
ties in this war,— a war which that Con
gress by its own act last session sanc
tioned and approved, the indignation of
the people will he shown in a very une
quivocal manner.
Political schemes and intrigues in re
ference to the next Presidency have had
loo much to do with this matter. It is to
he regretted, as matters have resulted,
that Mr. Polk in his acceptance of the nom
ination declined a re-election. This de
prives the party of the use of his name
as a candidate. But for this, these in
trigues and divisions would not have ta
ken place. Circumstances would have
now united the party upon him. The
issues of the past, and those which have
since been made growing out.of this war,
would elect him again. The Democratic
party is strong with the people. It was
never stronger. Its principles of politi
cal economy are vindicated and triumph
ant. Its position in leference to our for-
eign policy is more consonant with popu
lar sentiment than that ofthe Whigs.—
Bat it is weak in its personal divisions,
and President making has done much to
mar its harmony of action. There ought
to have been a good deal more of legisla
lion, and less talking in Congress.
W e are not without hope however since
the passage ofthe Loan and Treasury
Note bill,-of active and efficient legisla
tion during the'remaining short month of
the session. Let Congress now take hold
<if the free list and impose duties with a
view to increased revenue, not excepting
tea and coffee—let it pass the military
bill, and provide if necessary for a still
larger levy of troops—pass the naval ap
propriation hill, and evince by its legisla
tion that it does not intend that oiirartnies
are to turn their hacks upon the enemy,
but that they are to march on, and on,
until Mexico accepts with a good grace
the peace she has so often scorned, or
bows in helpless subjection to our con
quering flag. This course will meet
popular approbation. It is not in the na
ture of the Anglo-American race to take
the back track. It will not do so now.—
Nor are our people disposed to sanction
half way measutes. They are for con
quering a peace from Mexico. They are
also for keeping a pretty considerable
piece of Mexico already conquered, The
longer the war lasts, the larger will that
piece be. If it lingers on for years, the
demand lor more province will increase,
until finally it will he a war of subjuga
tion. There is no division of opinion as
to the acquisition of territory. This de
sire may be called an Anglo-American
instinct—perhaps a monomania. The
only division of opinion is as to who shall
possess it alter it is acquired. Thai is a
question and a Very knotty one. It is
MEXICAN WAY OF DOING THINGS.
One Gen. Don Thomas Requena, who
commanded the Citadel at Monterey, anil
distinguished himself by his bravery and
skill as an artillery officer, has been dis
graced by Santa Anna. The charges a-
gninst him were—that he “exaggerated
the prowess of the invaders, (Americans,)
their dexterity in the use of arms, their
military skill, physical strength ol their
men, &c., and for protesting it was im
possible for Mexicans to conquer snch
troops.” These sayings were said to be
discouraging to the Mexican people, and
calculated to repress their ardor and zeal
for the Republic, and their author was
visited with the indignation of Santa An
na. He was ordered into Zacatecas in
disgrace.
This is a different way from doing
things in this country. Here the patriot
ism of the President may be denied—he
may be charged with plunging the coun
try into a needless war—the war itself
may be characterized as “unholy and
cruel,” begun without provocation and
continued for.the attainment of impioper
objects—threats may be made of holding
the President ofthe United Slates respon
sible for every drop ol (flood shed in the
course of its prosecution—obstacles may
be thrown in the way of raising the ‘ways
and meads’ of bringing it to a speedy and
honorable termination—rejoicing made at
the prospect of an empty treasury and
consequent embarrassments in the vigor
ous prosecution ol the war—and lastly,
the enemy may be praised and commend
ed for the opposition they make to the
march of our troops. All this, and much
more, may he done, bdt if you presume
to question the propriety of such a course,
and in the language of the Constitution
declare that this is affording ‘aid and com
fort’ to the enemy, denunciations fierce
and heavy are heaped up, and amidst
the avalanc he of words you are almost
constrained to believe that men areal per
fect liderty to denounce their government
or support it—in peace as well as in war
—in this country. Nothing but the overt
act would be construed as treasonable.
Words-are nothing hut the effervescence
of party feeling, excited by reputed polit-
cal disappointment,and writhing under
defeat. This nmy be well enough here,
where the people are uninfluenced by
such disgraceful proceedings, but it may
not lie out place to hint that such men are
treated with more consideration than the
Mexican General is in the habit of be
stowing upon less offenders, that’s all.

GOVERNOR WILLIAMS. ’
The Macon Messenger publishes a let
ter from Major Williams, of the Geor
gia Regiment, now Governor of Victoria,
in Mexico, to his father—CoL Peter Will
iams of Macon.
This letter is principally anticipated by
one extracted yesterday from the Colum
bus Times.
Gov. Williams remarks—Victoria is a
beautiful city, of about 4000 inhabitants,
situated just at the foot of one of the lof
tiest peaks of this chain of mountains.—
The inhabitants are superior both in ap
pearance aud manners to any part of
Mexico I have yet visited.
Gov. W. then stales that the three
companies of Georgians and two of Mis
sissippi Riflemen, under his command
are quartered in the Governrpenl House of
the Province. (Victoria is the capital of
Tamaulipas,) and the stars and stripes
float prouldly forum the flag staff' above
ihecapitol. “ I have been assigned beau
tiful quarters in the city, near the grand
plaza, with all the. appertenauces thereto
belonging. Last night was the first time
I had slept in a house since I left Mobile,
on the 12th of July last. It really seem
ed odd to wake up and find some of the
comforts and luxuries of life around me.
I rather think the tent after all preferable,
and were it not that a Governor of a fine
city ought to occupy fine quarters, this
Governor would go back to the woods n-
gain. I am indebted for the honor of the
appointment and consequent temporary
promotion, to the kind favor oi“ Gen.
Quitman, who- has upon all occasions
shown me marks of ihe estimation in
which he holds me. I am rather young
it is true for so responsible an office, but
if attention to the duties of tire station
enables me properly to discharge them, 1
am satisfied in my own mind, that they
will he faithfully fulfilled.”—Georgian.
