If lhe Mexican Miasler does not immediately quit the Unucd States, with defiance and war upon his lips, ii will be because he is less Mexican in hs
 feelings than some of the whig press They are ma king him believe that he is so outraged by the ucts of the American government, that i; would be dis honor in him to wall even for instructions from home.
 In the face of so much atectionae sympathy for the wrongs Of his country, by strangers, who expect soon to be called into actual arms against her, by their own counrymen, he ought to be ashamed to stay If he is sick 10 travel or write, he might retire to Massachusetts a neutral territory. and the editor of the National lntellgencer at Washing ton, the Tribune or Express at New York, or the Atlas al Boston, may be trusted to make up his pro- clamations Tor him. They have so little of the mar prejudice in favor of their own country and gov ernment, that they prefer, on this question at leas, 10 be on the side of Mexlco and England There is one embarrassment in the way of Almon- fs in withdrawing to Mexico, which we have aot alluded to- He is one of the most intimate and trusted followers of Santa Anna; and though not of 6oaIly recalled, he may have for apprehen- sion, that if he reaches Mexico he may find quarters al Perote with his fallen chief. We lhnk he would be more at home and comfortable at Boston, where Mexico is in majority
 | lnNew York, Mexican whggery is in a minority. | There many nauralized citizens there, wlio came to this country from choice of their own, that they are said to secure always majority against the party which, claiming distinction as native horn exclusively, invariably finds it's own government
 to be wrong in al! it's relat and differences with other governments But if not triumphant in nun. bers, as in Boston, this whig aliensm of heart is very powerful in zeal. The following is part of one of the articles from the New York Tribune the chief whg oracle Of that city, which encourages and ust- ies Great Britain in making war upon us, to main tain the absolute right Mexico the territory of | Texas:
 feeble and unofending peope whom we are making war, she i'll be but obeyng the ins tinct |" of self preservation. By our proceedings m get '' ting possession If Texas, we have declared our selves the enemies of the civilized worId or only restrained from becoming such by the lowest con |" alterations of seli-inierest. Surely, there must come reckoning for hs."
 Here IS an American newspaper falsifyIug facts for the purpose ofhoding up it's own government as piratical desperadoes in purpose, he "enenies of the civilized worlds but for cowardly calculation oi interest, with whom England ought to go to war for ''self.preservationi
 We need only borrow the last words of this veno- reckoning for this frinzed anti mericanism; and we tha, the reckoning will come soon and the cost be heavy

 NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE. YANKEE Doodle borrows cash
 Yankee Doodle spends it, And then he snaps his fingers at The jolly flat who lendsit. Ask him when he means to pay, He shows no hesitation, But says he'll take the shortest way, And that's Repudiation!
 Chorus, Yankes Doodle borrows cash, sec. Yankee VOWS that every State
 Is free and independent; And if they paid each others debts, There'd never be an end ont, They keep distinct till settling comes, And then throughout the nation They all become Limited States" To preach Repudiaton! Lending cash to Illinois.
 Or to Pennsylvania, Florida or Mississippi,
 Once was quite mania. Ofali the States 'tis hard to say
 Which makes the proudest show, sirs, But Yankee seems himself to like The State of O-I Ope, sirs! The reverend joker of St. Paul's
 Don't relish much their plumber, And often in their knayish tricks Has hurl'd his witty thunder, But Jonathan by nature
 hide of toughest leather Which braves the sharpest-poined darts And caanons put together He tells 'em they clapping on Their credit quite stopper, And when they want to go to They'll never raise copper. If that's the case, they cooly say, Just as if to spite us, They'd better stop onr dividends, And hoard them up to fight us! What's the use of money'd friends Ifyou must n't bleed eml Ours, guess, says Jonathan.
 The country is of freedom! And what does freedom mean not Towhop our slaves at pleasure, And borrow money when you can, To pay 1t at your leisure ! Great and free Amerikee With all the world Is wing That she's the Hand of promise" There Is surely no denying But be it known henceforth to all, Who hold their I. o, U. sirs, Yankee Doodle prpmise is
