J. R. INOERSOLL'S OPINION OF GEN. TAYLOR.

the Mexicans of which they might form a govern
ment,with which government we might make a trea
ty of peace, which would have some show of respec
tability and stability. Shall we then pursue a
course for the future, that has been productive of
no good in the past 7 I say no. Wbat then shall
we do ? Shall we withdraw the troops now there,
and take Mr. Calhoun's defensive line without the
populated portions of Mexico ? I say emphatical
ly no. For this course would leave Mexico to
worse scenes of anarchy, confusion and-bloodshed,
than has ever been witnessed within her bounda
ries since she took the name of Republic. Leader
would struggle against leader for the power to
rule, and none could be permanently seated in the
Presidential Chair, and each one in turn would be
overthrown, as often as he would attempt to form
treaty with us that we would accept of. What
then should be our course? Shall I say 7 I will,
although I may be made liable to the charge of as-
tnce in doing so. I think our best plan would be
rise a few more troops, say five thousand,extend
line from Vera Cruz to the Pacific Ocean,
through Jalapa, Perotc, Puebla, Mexico, thence
down the Acapulco road to that town on the Paci-

I think we should conquer and garrison all the im

the line I have designated, that we might have di

route we please. I might enter more largely
detail of this plan, but 1 think I have said enough
upon it at present. If any plan that has been
thought of yet will give us wbat wc profei

mg enough in the Whig lailh for the
if ■Felt/ county to support as their candi-
Tthc Presidency in 1848—and if nominated
by & Whig National Convention, we pledge out-
aolves to support him with all the zeal and energy
that characterize a good cause.
Jtu immense meeting was recently held in Wythe
county, Virginia, at which a resolution in favor of
m Whig National Convention was adopted. Also,
tho following:
Resolved, That for his long and brilliant career
of illustrious public services, and unsurpassed and
glorious achievements ; lor his steady and
inducements put together. This prejudgment
and condemnation of the Peace Society without ex
amination, or care to examine, cause all the dark
ness on the picture. Without knowing Socrates,
the ancient Athenians, destroyed him by poison-
hut soon after repented and erected his statue with
apotheosistic honors ! He asked, living, for bread :
They gave him, dead, a stone!
The Peace Society is composed of men of all pe
culiar sentiments, who on joining promise to merge
they be connected with the society, all
their private and political predilections in the one
absorbing topic that calls thejji together. It is
founded exactly on the same governing principle
is Free Masonry, though without secrecy or mysti
jgnals—and while this one makehn universal love
among the brethren the grand desideratum that
holds the body in supcrstruclive v It.son—the mot-
ofa broad pacific benevolence^ofall mei^and all
Governments—more especially otayown, since h’ere
as citizens we can do the most—tOtnbines the po
litical brotherhood of pacificators,'- The instituti
of the South cannot be safer than in the hands of
Peace men. Many of them are non-resistants and
therefore appeal quietly to consciences. They
would see servants submissive to masters, and
strictly obedient till those masters be voluntarily
pleased to otherwise dispose of them. Many, too,
are free trade men, though in the midst of impor
tunate Northern Factories, and haveitas a cardinal
theory that in order to peace mutual love and free
commerce should exist among all the nations.—
Many, also, are in the best sense Liberty men, so
far as regards our political Constitution, believing
with me,and I am sure with you Messrs. Editors,and
with all the friends of the American Revolution—
that freedom is but Christianity exemplified in that
love man must have to man, which being equal to
that for himself, would cause him forever as a Go
vernor or Legislator to consult the will and wel
fare of his fellow men. From such men who con
stitute and guide the Society, and who have offend
ed the abolitionists and no-goverawent men by
refusing to succumb to their officious dictation, in
making anti-slavery the pivot of all it*- operations,
and whereby that body of fanatics has withdrawn
from it, and united with Elihu Burritt in a league
ot universal brotherhood—as see the peace publi
cations of last year—what are ice to fear? Absolute
ly nothing. But I would not say too much here.

have pretermitted its uncompromising antagonism
ith bloodshed. I had long enougb lelt the tliresh-
liold of life to witness its appeals" for mitigating
the perilous hostility between this Government and
France, more than ten years ago, upon tbe French
spoliations and the recusancy of indemnity by that
kingdom. Then I saw its anxiety to adjust the
North Eastern boundary, and subsequently to pour
oil upon the troubled waters of the Oregon ques
tion. And now that it depreciates the Mexican
war—this is no Territorial slave or anti-slave
question with the Peace Society— that is confined
at the North to all conditions and professions of
men, and especially to the abolitionists proper.—
The Peace Society, proper, has no more to do with
the question of Territory or Slavery than wo have
with the Chinese Wall, which neutrality can be
seen in its publications. The Advocate of Peace a
monthly periodical published at Boston, costing ohc
dollar lor two years, has not a sectional syllable,
and maintains the high character of the Society.
If we had a civil war with tbe North, growing
out of the annexation question as to the conquests
from Mexico, which I sometimes fear—the
Society^ like a virgin beauty radiant with loveliness,
would cndcavir to interpose its innocent
tween tlie combatants, with alt tbe ardohr of the
Sabine females with their countrymen and thd Ro
mans, and with more purity of motive and catholic
pint of disinterested'Christianity; which in its
operation cannot but include all tbe feelings of the
best patriotism. And, if depreciation of the war
at tbe North be conniving at the South, or the ene
my as we may then be considered, 1 am sure the
members of the Peace Society would be tbe first
victims there to the halter ani to proscription! A
society thus so devoted to peace, for its own sake,
for the.sak^oftbe country, Arid for thd welfare' of
mankind, aiming (as see its publications) at notb-
ingdomestie or internal, excepts pacific concern
ment, and looking to an International Congress
whereby a Jury of Nations may adjust difficulties
among civilized communities—and having. for a
penalty in case of nod-compliance, only
courea with the refractory country—a society thus
constituted ought to b£kno*n* os it deserve* the
warm export, encouragement and admiration of
all philanthropists.

that noble hearted and learned South C<
the late Rov. Thomas S. Grimke or Grimpk who
was a Charlestonian, has for its constitution th
Universal Brotherhood of Nations, towards the fi
nal suspension of Arms—but of cour^p without
that “ entangling alliance,” against whi'clipur fath
ers were cautioned by Thomas Jefierson'.
It can no more be entangling or conflicting, than
the treaties and intercourses by special clam
treaty, that we already have with many an Em
pire : And the fact that its weapon of compulsion
would bc*non-intercourse, alone, forbids tlie idea
that any Holy alliance ot Martials is here
formed; and leaves every separate Government
independent of all restriction or control, farther
than a general embargo of a Wdrld agaiiist itself,
persisting in war, or refusing to agree to articles of
pacification :—a necessary act from which
tion or individual is ever free. The Jury box bind
persons. The fiat of nations meet nations,
war alone: for that International Congress would
have nothing to do with internal affaire or peaceful
commerce. Nor can man release himself by Go
vernment wars from the penalty of defying jus
tice with a world. lie can wage war hut it leavei
him tlie poorer and his countrymen thinned for this
exercise. It has been the mandate of the Eternal
that tlie human latnily of nations, must, as that of
persons, thrive, or suffer by the treatment they l
tually or partially extend. Whit philosophers

I beg leave to call you* attention to tbe fact, that
while political partisans, see the necessity of all
men joining one side, or the other; for tbe good of
the Republic, and for the better klueidaticm of
“ ways and meads,”—the Peace Society,
obtruding upon onr contemplations, the maxima of
local state or country politics, have not been
mindful of its duties as patriots. While it leave:
each man free to select his own rulers and to de:
any system of administration for the S(ate and Gen

litude; it creates a third party of Its own, conser
vative between the two, so far ns the propriety of
maintaining national quietude; and the acute tna-

cerned. It holds an eten balance between this and
