a war with Great Britain, because
she dares to claim a portion Of the northern
territory of Oregon, cannot be rep~rehended
too severely. Many of these wretched edi-
are in favor of shutting the door against
all negotiations which contemplate an ami
cable adjustment of the Oregon question:
They would 90 TO war ~afonce, without wait
ing until The years notice agreed on by the
treaty has been given. They would take
possession Of the disputed territory forthwith
and declare war against Great Britain If she
dared 70 question the right o fthis country TO
all of Oregon. We are aware that many of
the men who recommend this course Of
conduct are loo weak in intellect 10 appre-.
ciate its Importance, and they may be ex-
.cased as IDIOTS are excused; but some Of
them, with full knowledge of all the cal
antilles Of war, recommend it, because they
fancy a war would be popular and ecure
the permanent a~scendancy of Locotocoism.
Such creatures are not fools they are sceun
drels.
Nearly every Locofoco paper IS tie eining-
with abuse directed against the Wings, be-
.dause the Wings recommend an amicable
settlement of tae Oregon difficulties. And
because the Wings advise the course sane
toned by wisdom, patriotism and common
sense, they are denounced as the friends Of
England, as men who, in the event of war,
would side with the enemy, as men who lake
the English view of all Subjects. These
wretches must feel their own infinite base
ness when they dare TO bring such foul ac-
cusations against a party which numbers a.
mong its Supporters a vast majority ofthe wIsest
most patriotic, and best inFormedmen in the s
nation. If war should again afflict the coun-
Try, it would be fought principally on the
ocean by Wing officers and Wing seamen,
for a large proportion Of eur naval officers
are men ofsense4aud patriotism, and, like a
large majority ofthe men of that sort in the
U. S. 8re firmly and uncompromising Wings
Tie Locofocos that dig bitches, carry holds,
and live where the suhbeams never pone-
trates would have but little participation in
the glories or miseries that might attend the
contest. We repeat it, that if war shall be
waged with GIeat Britain. 0 n Wing heads,
and whig hearts, and whig muscles the
country will chiefly rely for success, and
thus relying, The honor and glory of the Un-
ion will be in safe hands.
The wings opposed to the honor and pros

were Polk, and Van Buren,, and Buchanan,
and Wall, aud Hubbard, and many other
leaders of the l~ocofoco party during the last
war? Mr.. Polk excused himself from fight
ing, and while his fellow students shoulder
ed their muskels, he's put his books ia his
pocket and went TO dignifed retirement
Mr.. Van Baren first opposed and then, when
it was rather late in The day, supported, the
war; and the other worthless we have named

In the teeth of such facts as these, the Loco

Britain against the United States!

the people, the Wigs are FOR peace, because
tae prosperity of the people depends on
peace. The Wings do net wish TO see the
sad spectacle of our innumerable merchant
ships rotting in the various ports ofthe Union.
they do not wish TO see The waves of the
old Ocean Redeemed with the blood oftheir
counirymen; they have no desire 10 hear the
shrieks of widows and the wall of countless
orphans; they would not enjoy the pTostra-
ton of business. the incalculable misery of
thousands, and the breaking up of the COM
merce ofthe nation. We say the Wings
have no wish to contemplate a spectacle of
war without Just and honorable cause. But
if war cannot honorably be avoided, then the
Wings will prove their love Of country by
fighting, and, If need be, by dying for tho
Union.
