The Washington Union calis for a more violent prosectiiion of ihe war uport Mexico, whereupon ilie New York Tribune reríinrks : "While the bodios o f three lhouand of ourown gallan! counfrymen are fepring n ghnstly death, wriihíiig in horrible ngony rithrit sifrt of the Mexic-rírj Capítol, while the shrieks c,{ the crowds of thc Mexicnn women and chilcliea torn nnd fnangled by dwi' sheíís and shot ye! rake the general ear - while t s eren doubtful whether our gallnnt Army ís not enrelopedin fearful perib nnd i'eciinnleJ by fresher confliets - The.

But the President's organ is siilf insaliate. It conríplains that we have been too lenient and mercifjl (hus far towards Mexico, and indícales that new regimenis must be raised, new loans be m.ide, ner injuries inflicted.
