DROP PARTY AND GO FOR THE CoUNrRY.--This
catch word is continually ringing in our ears, from
tongue and press. If somebody among our opponents
will stop long enough to explain what is meant by
IT. we will consider the matter. That it is fully ap-
plcable to them we have not doubt. 1t is high
time, when party can one year in full an unanm-
GUS Legislatures, resolve againsta measure-When
they be so fully committed against it that can
ddate for their suffrages in Convention, gives his
voice against it-when the whole party pronounce
cmphatically against it, and yet in day, a. the
bidding of leaders, can all face about and 60 heart
and soul in favor of the at the expense
of yet unknown blood and treasure-when a party
has reached this pitch say, it is high time todrop
| party and 60 for the country"
| But for our own parts we utterly dsclaim all such
advice. Even if it applicable to us, we should
spurn il, coming from the lips pens of the detes
table Hypocrites who lay claim to democracy for
the sake of Office and spoil, but it is not applicable
Heaven is witness, that we have not a single
pinon in common with the Wings any other par
ty which we do not hold because believe it to be
for the good of the country. We know nothing of
dropping the party for the Country. We are not
serving party. We coincide with no party further
than recognise the measures of that party as the
best measures of the Country. We drop the coun-
try and not party, if we drop those. Drop party in
deed . ! Let the slaves of party wherever they
belong, drop party. Let those who could not intro
duce, in Congress resolution for men and money
to rescue army without prefacing it with false
partisan preamble, purpose to drive the Wing par
! ty into opposition, show example of "Jropping
party" Let those who cannot get up public NEE
ting Irrespective of party" without introducing
Resolutions, which Wings must deny, or belle their
honest convictions, show example of dropping
party. Let those Journals, which are STEPPED over
head and ears in fasehood, and reeking In foul
rupton to plumber the peopleof thousands per
year, return to honesty and show us a magnanmous
example of dropping party"

rectness of this principle is placed beyond a doubt,
by the present War with Mexico. Iii nation would
preserve her peace the respect of her neighbours and
even her existence, let her be continually prepared
for war. We cannot now doubt that the present
enormous peace establishments of Europe are strict
ly economical, compared with the profuson of treas
ure squandercd, and the life which would be lost in
war, almost in the very moment that one of them

calling and sustaining thousands in the field, who
can believe that the present war would have taken
place. With Great Britain we can let the question
of boundaries lie in allegiance for years. we share
with her what we claim as all our own; we can ap-
proach the precipce of war that we just top
pie the verge and yet recede; She search oul
vessels at sea, break up their cargoes and spoil the
voyages; she can cut steamboats, out of our ports
leave American citizens dead on the dock, and We
the slow progress of diplomacy be suffered to dras
its procrastnating efforts through years and years.
But with Mexico, weak and Instructed, six month.
after we are placed in situation to dispute boun.
dairy with her, the "honor and dignity of the United
States" demands immediate settlement at the can

first seriously proposed, some such means as Con
