fine Editors of The Whis rcpy that while
they make lew professions OF PATRIOTISM ano s'y
less about being proud Of the institutions q 'nc'f
country, or eioryns in her honor, yet when ''e

DISPLAY of all those attributes IS their nelehopfs.

Mus, we wait ill she rca!!v takes up The cudgels
for Mexico We say, if We thought as The
Wink seems 10 think b. these quotations, We
would not hesitate 10 give John Bull 10 under
derstand, that such Interference would be unwar-
ran,ahle, and il was because The Wing did nct
utter enc word Of condemnation asainstthe course
which appeared 10 lis Editors 10 be inevitable,
that We spoke on; as We did.
We are happy 10 hear, that when the time shall
come, "the hosoms OF tie Wing editors, although
not a. large as some others, will lie found 10 beat
as quickly, and be filled with as much pairiol-
ism rs The bosoms Of those who have accused

shall feel most warmly Tor country, and which
shall endeavor most slroasly 10 vindicaie her

hut 10 take a hard in the expected conflict with
Mexico II is very kind in The Wing, who, We
presume, speaks for its "true Wing friends as
We'll as itself, not 10 leave the friends OF annexa-
ton 10 fight the ballle BY themselves, as The
Wing clearly intima,ed they were bound 10 do
though, from the signs Of the late elections il
seems, tina, The Texas question has nearly killed
up WhigSery, and mere handful is LETT, not
crushing the arrogance OF Mexico
But while We thus give the Wing an oprorlu-
ny OF avowng its patriotism" which was 50
carefully disguised in its tormer arlicle-we must
express our opinion Of The bad taste the Wing has
shown, in repnblishing, at this time the following
sheer from the Connecticut Corrdnl:
"What pity i, is that some CT The belliserent
gentlemen who talk SO trippingly OF war and It's
slories cannot have an opportunity OF minsi'ng
in The strife 10 their hears content They have
no fears until they come 10 the tug OF war-'le
regular. actual conilict-lhen look out for wounds
in The back The country is blessed with good
share Of this kind of patriotism"
Most unfortunately, this article comes from
narford-no, very favorably known 10 the
