The War.-.Gov. Wi,itcOmh---Thc
journal.

The editor Of tie Journal seems determined that if
Gov Whcomb is not defeated il shall be for the
want of disappearing and garblmg his speeches
About cool and impudent attempt of that KIND as
1t has been lot witness occurred In the Daily
Journal of yesterday.
The editor first takes exception to the Governors
appealing those who surrounded him in his speech
at tie Market House, to take up in defence of
their country his friends" Now we think that
any one, whether high or low, rich poor who Will
volunteer such occasion, Is friend, and far
better friend ofhis country and of her officers and III
situtons than editor vino stays at home Pr test
ing against AZ "aggressve' war against Mexico,
and slandering those no endeayorng 10 forward
the service
We have time, paper is just going to
press to expose all the falSehood and injustice OF tie
anita ggres>ive editors article. We defer that to
our next paper. We only stop to say, that his state
ment the Governors constitutional scrupes re-
ferred 10 any proposed of money offered by the
Madison Bank is untrue. Nor did he say that he
woud write to the War Department on that subject.
lie stated that he had written TO that Department on
other and different questions In relation to the voun-
teers, and that he expected an answer. The
editor admits that the Governor exhored the people
as his dear friends to rally around the flag Of their
country. Any language Of kindness addressed to tie
mass Of the people - III his estimation, dsmagoeUe-
ism Tbs no doubt the mortal offence to the cd
itor Why did he not also say that tie Governor
called upon all without distinction Of party to
forward, and that in a of this kind all true
patriots were equally near to lis heart
The editor says there IS contrast between the
course Of Gov Owsley Of Kentucky and Gov. Whit
comb-tfat $4,000 were placed in of the Louis
Vile Banks by twenty-five patriotic citizens of that
place subject to Gov. Owsleys control. This is very
true-these twenty-five citizens ''aggresSive'
their character that they willing to look to the
United States or to their State for repayment. Where
was there similar offer on similar of the least
amount Of money placed under Governor WhIcomb's
control for the of the volunteers Not a cent.
Gov. Whtcomb said that he would 90 far any
other Governor Executive had DONE and then lie
would 60 beyond them and contribute money from his
0rn poc.et-and he offered 1000 to BERN with, and
stood ready contribute proportion to his means
citt any other persons IN The Stq'e. This doubt
alarmed the editor He was afraid that step would
make Gov WhItconb popular. y number of the anti
aggressive toadies commenced the business Of system
attic misrepresenaton-an endeavored to discourage
some vino had volunteered. Before the Journal arti-
Gle was printed, however, Gov. Whitcom5 addressed
the volunteers in the .Blrracks and restored their
spirits Yet the article is sent abroad to dampcn the
ardor Of volunteers throughout the State rather than
not indulge malignant and envious desire to injurc
Gov Whitcomb. We now say to all al a distance
that there VIII be no want Of money to clOthe, sub
sst and transport the troops. Come on brave hearts
and don't mind the .'anti-aggrcssives.'
