The intelligence from Mexico and from Eng

general opinion seems 10 be, that Mexico must

y5No, Stree, The Uligs of Wheeling
have not resolved TO form a "Home League" but
fcr OF them, led on by that masler-spirit Of
HumbuggeTy en- Ashland Square (Whew !!
wiat sounding appellation y held Two or three
meelings-public ones-the last one was whiltled
down TO the isette end of nothing.
A rery large majority, We believe, of The Wings
OF Wheeling, on this matter, act like men Of
judgment and sound discretion. They have seen
thai, by The election OF Col. Polk 10 The Prcsiden-
cy, the country has not only mol been ruined, but
that il is in more prosperous and thriving con-
dilion than il has been Tor many years. Alter
the election, in 1914 they SET 10 business, not sa
hsfed with the result but confident a change could
not be effected in less than four years; and have
made their own wealth and prosperity. They
see every body around them with smiling faces,
and contentment rejecting in their very counte-
nances. Seeing hesethings, and experimenting no
immediate deleierious consequences from the
passage of the Tariff bill, they are unwilling 10
risk their business operations on the throw Of a
die al least under such a manager as the one
who presumes 10 lead them. They are disposed
10 lei well enough alone.
We do not feel like letting an erroneous idea,
on this subject, gain tooing abroad. II is per-
feclly understood here and would require no con.
,radicion, but the charge would have gone out and
gained credence abroad unless nee would take il IN
hand, for the whig press here would let it slide.
II looks rather out Of place, too for US to defend
'the wings Of Wheeling" but We believe in put
ting the saddle on the right horse"

The national reputation has been seriously
wounded by the bloody and disgraceful civil war
between The Mormons and anli-Mormons al
Nauyoo. We hope soon 10 see il arrested BY
public opinion, or the strong arm OF the law
We are not familiar with the causes Of the intes-
tine struggle, but we fear that religious prejudice
may be al The bottom OF it, However infatuated
The superstition OF the Mormons, this is the land
ofreligous freedom, and men are -esponslble Tor
their opinions to Heaven, and net TO man. H.
however, in the practice of their toIm OF worship,
they violate the obligations of law and become
a nuisance 10 society," lei The law, and mol the
hand of violence, interfere 10 correct the evil. In
a land oil laws, there should be no mischief with
ont corresponding legal remedy. Whichever
side then, may be in The wrong Tor we do not
profess 10 know the facts, We are ircined 10 sym
pathize with the assaled Mormops. In letter
in the ST. Louis ReveilIe we find the following
touching incident, which smacks somewhat OF
"mauyrdom !"
'During the progress Of the fghl an invalid
Mormon was posted upon the Top OF the temple,
with spy-glass in hand, watching its progress;
and the wives OF The citizens, with their children,
were gathered al the base OF the building, with
uplurned eyes and painfully an1ions faces, lis
tening 10 his report OF The ballle which, from time
TO time, he related 10 them from above. Our in
iormanl says that he heard many OF these poor
Mormon mothers declare that they would perish
in The streets Of Nauvoo defending il against this
mob il it should drive their husbands in from the
field where they are posted"

The Times will see, in another column that
we have not "iesisted entirely" from The contro-
versy in regard 10 Mr.. Clay and the ad ralorem
duties So far from regarding his as "good
point" made against us, we would cheeriully
continue the Discussion, if we had the time or The
space 10 throw away. We were never more sure
Of being fully vndca,ed by the facts and by logi-
cal deductions from those facts. But We have re-
ally had more interesting matters before Us than
The articles OF the Times, and hence The delay in
noticing them.
We lake this occasion 10 say, that the Times is
again in error, when refer: 10 the articles OF the
Standard and ourselves as being extremely dis
cordani." True, we differed in our appreciation
OF the "Hon." Garrett Davis as witness. The
Standard treated Mr.. Clays opinion as TO the
form of duties as a collateral question, and even
admitting the full force of Mr. Davis argument.
made out lis case fully against Mr.. Clay. We
confined ourselves 10 The question OF duties, and
course combated Davis testimony with all our
zeal.

that the prospects of The iron masters s, naa

duclions from wha, the Wing said, we COPIED
its own words in iul, so that The correction was
at hand. When The new Tariff bill was passed.
the Wing press cried out that The iron 'n!efes -
would be entirely ruined by the Locoioco lar'n.
The Wing now says that "PrO6G6fy for some i'@e

tiers will be saved Is noslh 'coniessIon" mat
the "Locoioco Tariff will not probably for some

question. AS for The causes Of the rise OF price
of iron in England the railroads, &c. they exist
ed at The time OF the passage of our new 'Tarif
bill, and might properly have been considered as
good reasons for reducing the heavy duties; for the
Wing says, that even under the present duty Of 80
per cent, the price of iron will be higher than
under The Tariff of 40 There is, then, no
