der the folds of our national flag, where they
lay in state two days. The flag that waved
over their remains was the one under which
they fell fighting for their country.
THE MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT.
The volunteering from Massachusetts goes
on slowly. Up TO one o'clock on Tuesday,
only 81 men, including the officers had been
enrolled at the three recruiting stations in
Boston. Capt Webster has 1903 men in his
G ompany, but when they were all ready for
service, orders were received from Washing
ton that nothing less than the full regiment
would be mustered into the service. This
order has, we believe been since counter
manded, and permission has been received TO
tauster the Massachusetts volunteers into the
service by companies. The Boston Post ms
! a longnppeal to the patriotism of the State,
remiding the people of the readiness with
which Pennsylvania and New York have re-
sponded TO the CALL and urging them TO up
hold the character ofAlassachusetts by arcad-
| Ter compliance with the demands ofthe War
Department.
"Even our little neighbor, Rhode Island"
says the Post, "who, whatever may have been
her failings in other respects, has neger been
found wanting in courage ut patriotism, has
rendered one of her best disciplined and
most effective volunteer companies to be en-
rolled in the Massachusetts regiment, for
which service they have been accepted by the
President"
The Post might also add, that this disci-
plined and effective company is composed
entirely of Algerines. Not Dorrite has vol
unteered, not Il man that attended the Texas
meeting in this State has given his name
Not one of those who were so anxious TO get
us into the war has manifested my disposition
10 aid the country in getting out of it. The
Post is very severe upon those papers which
it accuses ofdiscouraging men from volun-
teering, and declares that in question offor-
eign war there should he no party. If these
papers are so blameworthy for such n course,
what shall we say ofthe patriotism of those
men who have clamored so loudly for the
war, and who yet hold back their personal
services. 1.-THE men who honestly think the
war is unnecessary and unjnst are not to be
permitted 10 express their opinions, what shall
we say ofthe men who hold that it is Just &
necessary and yet who do nothing towards it
nothing butto grumble at others for speak
ing what they themselves act? In the defence
of the country there should be no party. In
foreign war, so far as it is between our own
country and the enemy, there should be no
party; yet no man can deny, that there is n
peculiar propriety in patriotic eXertions and
sacrifices from those men who have brought
the war upon us, and who are responsible be-
fore the country for the position in which we
are placed. Ifthe men who uphold the war
will not volunteer, those who regret il are not
TO be blamed for Iukewarmness.-PrO Providence

Vines, LOOK Our The Patriot more than
intimates that the .federatiStS in the Congress.
sionOl election to come in this district will
vote in more than one town. Nothing more
likely, for they are bent upon the election of
Peck, and the Wings must be on their guard
for such games. We have more than once
suspected these same politicians of doing the
same thing before and are not sure that Dill
e lngham g success, in part, was not owing to
such sort of voting Wings, look out for the
Peck Oi~e lights! The tories and ultra .feder-
adSts of other days resorted to tricks equally
shameful to protect Great Britain rather than
young America, and their descendants, the ad-
vocates of Folks British Tariff, may even vote
double in their zeal to favor the natural enemy
to the prosperity of the republican freemen of
the United States. Let the true Democrats
The friends of American industry-be prepared
to vote down these politicians should they e.
ven vote double for Peck and Great Britain.

0FThe Courier 81 Enquirer, graveIy and
ably rebukes that portion of the Presidents
Message which stigmatizes all who nrraign
the injustice and the wickedness his invas-
ion Of Mexico, a5 giving aid and comfort to
the enemy sc. We would have preferred
that expressive silence had been allowed on
this point-to testify the intense scorn which
that suggestion must have excited in every
manly breast. There has very rarely been
British War which was not urraigned and
condemned in Parliament, and by the Eng
fish journals quite as frankly MS this war has
been by any of its opposers. And are we TO
be denied the Freedom ofSpeech which a
Monarchy tolerates? Shall the most atrocious
f;.lsohoods with regard to the causes of this
war be daily distilled into the public ear and
no word ofreiutation be uttered under the
penalty otthe stigma of Treason? We des-
pise the malice ofthe pitiable creature who
protanes the chair WASHINGTON too much
to repel it farther Let general contempt be
its fitting auswer.-Iribime
