Prom the Cin.GaZette. "the Uexlcan WarThe . Wliifrs. with very few exceptions, sanctioned the war. Biter ihe President brought it on. and appropriated, at first, ten millions far its support, and authorised the President to accept the cervices of fifty thousand volunteers. These measures were of the most derisive character, and pledged the country for a vigorous prosecution of the war. Our MIow citizen from almost every part of the Union, tendered their services to the President, and in greater numbers than coid be ac cepted. Disappointment vvas.fclt.and expressed by those who could not be receiv. ed. The Whigs were among the foremost in these patriotic movements, and they were found in the field foremost in thos c tiifl.cts which have given s- much renown toour arms. These men are still In the field. Many of them have fallen in

battle, and many more by diseases of the climate; but the thousands thai; remain. re still in the field, ready to sustain the flag of their country. Shali these men be abandoned? They have bled for their country, and are ready to die in its service. They have faced danger in all its forms, and, a their perils increased, Iheir "ove of country seemed elso to increase. Shall these brave men be abandoned by their country? To rf fuse them food and clothing, and pay, by withholding appropriations for their support, is to ab&iidon thtn. It is not only to ahandon those now in the field, but to refine the pittance due to the widows and the fatherless children of those who have fallen widows and orphans made so by this war. Into which their protestor were induced to enter by the government. In this the NThigs acted in common with their opponents; we again ask, shall these men. and their widows and orphans.be abandoned? It is said we should withdraw our troops from thefield. One party may bring on war.bnt to end it both must concur. DeIng at wat.shail we strike our flag and retire from positions we occupy? Suppose such an order were given to Gen. Taylor. He would becompelledd to abandon the places rendered memorable by his victories, with an incensed enemy at his heels. Our troops wosild be followed into our own territory, and where shall they make a stand? Shall the ravages of war be brought into our ow n land, instead of meeting the enemy beyond our borders? If we must fight, surely it is best we should fight on the soil of an er.my. Fightwemusl while war exists, and we may choose our own fighting ground -That mind must have little force of judgmen, and have profited little by the teachings of experience, whirh can imagine, that the simple withdrawal of our troops from the enemy's conntry,w ill terminate the war. Such a slop would greatly encourage the enemy and induce him to make more vieorou, efforts. No paily that sanctioned this war by its vote, that appropriated ten millions of dollars, and railed out fifty thousand volunteer for its prosecution can maintain itself before an intelligent people.which takes this position. It has pledged itself, in the most olemn form, to support the men in the f eld by their votes. To abandon them would be cruel and unjust. Those who voted against the w ar, and against the volunteer bill, end the ten millions, may, perhaps, be consistent in voting against supplies. They stand tn a afferent relation to those troops from those w ho called them out. The army in Mexico is composed of citizens who have obeyed the call of their government, and, i;i the field, have done honor to our arms. Let it not be said that we are in favor of this w ar, or or any of the objects for w hich it was commenced and is now prosecuted. We are utterly of posed to them tod we wj hold the administration responsible for the war and its consequences. But, during the conflict, in reference to the question of supplies, w e cannot separate the administraiion from the country. VVe cannot disgrace the ore in a contest wi'h a foreign nation, without disgracing the other. We are t- be understood in the qualified sense in which we speak ....1 .. ...t . .. on uiurr. 4VIW, as Hostile as we are to the present administration, and have been from the first development of it policy, we would not see it prostrated, in this crisis of a war with a foreign conn try, lfbysm-h prostration, a lasting dishonor must fall upon our country. We have no doubt that the people, in due time, wiil dismiss this administration, which has shown its incompetency and want of principle; but this is an internal matter only interesting to ourselves. W hen our banners are afloat in the field and our national honor is involved, we must not suffer our local divisions to impair our vigor, or to eive encouragement to our enemy. This was attempted by many very conscientious and pood men ,in our late w ar with England, and they incurred a weight or odium w hich time Jias not yet removed. They claimed that the war was commenced without cause, and that it was dictated by France. This was as honestly believed and asserraied, and under as solemn appeals, as re now made against the present warCm, arter the war commenced, the people of that dty did not Mop to enquire into theca.ise, u.'it, in reference to any questicp .counecied with it, proset ti.ui. We E2sit, ar-d have often declared, that this war was unnecessary in its commencement, and we fcheved the vtai wtth England just. But we again say that this is not the question for consideration. W hen blows are exchaneed between contending parties, the argument between the combatants ceases. The law or Torce is suosuiuiea lor the law or reason. And we se.ieve that the rule, "ir th ine enemi' trike thee on the one cheek, thou shall turn 10 nun the other," was not designed 10 appiy 10 nations. It is ror individual application, to exemplify the walks ol nrt te life. 1 Ylin ir. r i our country are in '"'",r"ri ouv brothers are in the neta, snail we not cheer tbem by all the sneana in our power? They look for en coursgemeni irotn the r neiohhnr. friend, at home, and, under the belief mai mey rarry along w nh them the sympathies or their countrymen, they endure hardships, exposures and death." They need our sympathies, and should have them. Much as we detest the war; trongly as w e are opposed to the authors ofit;and ready as we are to hold them tespontible, our best sympathies aceompwj cur fellow citizens hi the ikli tl'e

must reloire in thatr victorl.. and sym

pathise in their suSjerinns. We could not Sain II if ts-A la-n..l.l ...,... .K.n4.in tlf It ,1. VTV? S.ftCI.tt n"MIIMI'll Hiem, nor withhold from them clothing, provisions and pay, uor Ihe gratitude due for their services. Shall w e be asked, luw is this war to be terminated? Ye answer by peare, and not by Ihe withdrawal of our troops while the war continues. The Utter, we hive nj doubt, would greatly protract the war. Mexico would suffer little or no inconvenience- from fifteen or twenty thousand troops stationed on its frontiers, Ctenlinp a demand for it production. And in that sickly climate our army wou'd soon become wasted by disease and death. Let the Press and the People declare against the acquisition of teirttory from the enemy. This will bring us peace, in 1 very short lime. It will take awav all motive to a further prosecution f the war bv the administration: and it will dtsnose Mexico to negotiate lor neace Pmi. quest, es w e have often said and believed was mi' pre-ni motive pari y motive ol the administration in ihe commencement of the war. And this hope t still cher ished. Let it be cut off and ffrs of peace wtii be submitted to the enemy. And Mexico, tinder the assurance that its ter ritory is not desired, could have no motive to continue the war. On this erottnd. against the ncnuWitiou of terrritory, the Whigs can stand.

But in ihts country the war power is w ith Congress; and, say what w e may, Congress have sanctioned this war : l. 1 . a a . . - w on Mexico: ana almost all the Whig united in this sanction. The war exists under the forms of the Constitution, and although we Ihink we should have refused our sanction to it, and urged the passage of an art directino the iilirtra.v. al of the army from the west side of the Rio Grande, w here it had been imnrnn. erly placed by the President's order, yet we arenouno to regard it as exitin?. and to provide rr its exigencies.

Tor the future, that all trains be slopped, as certain iniormainn had been received that a large farce of ihe enemy's cat airy, say four or five thousand, was in or near China, and that Caideieyta was already occupied by them. These last particulars are contained in a hasty note from lhe quartermaster at Monterey, daied February 23d, and terminating it with the remaik "look out.'' Huh Col. Vhitiuo(s instructions a!so came theorder of Gen. Taylor dated Angua Xeva, Feb. 21, the last one receieeil opto the time of my leaving Csmargo, Match 2J. This order is doubtless lhe' des-paw h of Gen. Taylor calling for reintorcements, alluded to by Capt. Mongomery in his note, as mentioned to him by Col. Vhh:n. On the Morning of the 27ih.ani.thor press errivf J at Catrargo front Monterey, stating,,in a note'tliut ,he had sent tiff the day before, but apprehended that he may have been cut off, and, as he understood from Col.

Aftia Neuva to Salti!lo. which I should infer also from ihe notes o: Capt M.. alttiot'jjii lieUoeg not distinctly state so. The Mexicans say he lost six pieces of cannon at the former place.

In thaf number we gave the substance of a dispatch from Sant-s Anna, declaring hU intention to give Gen. Taylor battle on lhe 21t tilt. Gen.

Al first he states that the Mexican army were encamped upon ihe snnie ground whirl. Ihey had previously occupied from w hich we infer thai they had been driven fn.rr ii. rind had been able to recover it, ciihe: from me fact thai the American fotre had chosen some oihei camping gn und, or that they een.-r.n);..y permitted ihem to rennin where, by ihe fortune of the rfav, iliey found themselves at theclos?of the contest. He a!si, 8latP9 ,nat ,hf J(KS o the Mexicans was about one thou.-aiul men, and that Iheir disposition lo disband was so great that Santa Anna was comrelled to return to Azua Nuei-a, from winch we are led to suppose, as bpfore staled, that Gen. Taj lor never designed lo make a decided stand at thi. nonit hut manifested such a disposition only to draw the enemy into a fight, and thereby eieatly weaken his forces as well as retard his designs. He states- a little circumstance, which not being mentioned in the despaich of Santa Anna, must be rec. ived as a flight of imaginaiion on the part of lhe writer, viz; that two oflicers beioneing 'o the army of Gen. Tavlor hid been received under cover of a flag of truce, that iheir eyes were bandaged, ai.d ihey led before the mighly and august General, who took particular pains to strike them with teiror by a display of the pplendor of bra overwhelming force, besides informing hni that he would listen io 1.0 terms ai
