The Journal.

aCchne turned 10 one OF Indignation AT paltry
attempts to escape the gnominy by creating endca
voring to create the impression, that but wings
are volunteering for the war; which it and its party
friends denounce for other purpose than to bring
into disrepute the democrats. 1t repubshed the base
fasehOod of the LoganspOrt Telegraph, and thought
1t excellent" 1t sees the country papers publishing
such falsehoods in relation to the companies here
but lets them pass without rebuke correction In
the last number of that paper branches out in per-
feet Don QuixCe style, and after revamplng few stale
calumnies, exclaims and refers in wonder to three
good wings who are actively engaged as volunteers,
and one other for himself and winds up by claiming
Major Ringgold as wing. whig he might have
been; but a patriotic whg-not one who denounced
his own government and the war as wicked and I'M
just, while he shed his blood in maintaining the lat
ter and defending the former
But let us hold the glass up to the Journal. We
do 1t in hopes that lis hdeousness may have some i'm
preston that sheet
''That the Americans will soon overpower them,
there is perhaps but little doubt. Yet we must con-
fess our sympathies with them. They slight
for their country, their altars and their homes" We
"for power, for plumber and extended rule" They
arc fighting for lbery-we to extend the area of sla
very. They are in the right-we are in the urong.
They may appeal with confidence to the God of bat
ties but, if we look for aid any other than human
power, it must be to the Internal Vaccinations of
Hell-for thus far it would seem, the deua has gov
erned and guided all our actions in the PREMISES
This is from the Zena Torch Light, edited by Otway
Curry. and famous whig journal Can any one
doubt the toryism of the craven-hearted villain who
would pen the above extract
Again:
GA number of and officers have been killed
and taken prisoners and Gen. TaylOr's army is sur
rounded bV horde of MexicanS nd hiSS ont
oil. We have much reason TO believe that unless re-
Inducements are soon made to our force, the MericGnS
leiA tHfict summary rengeancs upon the inUaders Of
their country. Hurrah for Texas, Oregon, Polk and
Dallas"
Thus talks the Wing Berkshire Courier Is it pa
trlotism! Now hear the Algerine Providence Jour-
nal
eve are already engaged in an unne-
cessary and unrighteOus war-undertaken for an un-
justIfable object and not necessary even to accom-
Plish the object for which it undertaken. Every
step in this Texas niquity has been taken equally in
disregard of all the principles of justice and right
and in defiance Of all the dictates of prudence, dis
erection and common sense.'
Hear the Torch Light, Wing editor again
''This is not war of the country. 1t is most en-
phatically of the Executive got up for the pur-
pose of manufacturing for him little gunpowder
putation Ii is not war for the yindcation of the
honor interest of the country but to assist in the
reelection of Mr.. Polk to the Presidency. 1t was
conceived in INFAMY, and brought forth in spirit
of reckless and WANTON BARBARITY."
Now listen to Michigan Wing editor, him of the
Expostor:
One OF THoUsAND.-Gen. Cross was buried at
the foot of the flagstaff in camp His wife and fam
lily are in Washington in state bordering on dis
traction.-Neicdrk Adr.
''How many other sswiyes and families will be
made to border on distraction by the Texas war
But what of that Is not Texas annexed! Are not
Locofocoism and slavery triumphant! Shan't we get
California ! Don't let whine about distracted
wives and families = What is the misery of a few
thousand wives and families compared with the
consummaon of results so glorious to professedly
free and democratic nation"
Is this not patriotic Would such man recon-
mend his whig friends to fight the battles of his coun-
try!
The Danvers Courier says
'Shame upon country that lciR go 10 lcdr in such
case. Words TOO strong too SeUe.e cannot be ut
tered an Uie'0 o. such iniquity and disgrace TO our
1t is war in which the battle will not be for the
strong-in achich The right is the ueeaker side. We
shall march to battle with the murky clouds of slavery
and oppression overshadowing the glorious stars Of
our banner-chite the cry Of freedom uttered
from barbarian ipS-ibertV glittering from euerY
fold Of their fag-cH strike CONSERVATION and dread
to The hearts Of their enemies. God forbid that ace
should go 10 lodr an such cause"
What think you of that, people of all parties
Will this editor expect wings to fight after such
schooling Is he a friend to his country!
Hear now Whiggery's High Priest in New York,
Horace Greedy, of the Tribune
ssOf all the wars ever fomented we remember none
more nefarous in Its origin, more wanton and afro
cious than that in which plunged by
Rulers and the Land-Jobbers and Shareholders whose
money, exertions, and lies have made those instru-
ments of their cupidity Rulers The bloody vii
lany of some wars was measurably redeemed by the
daring evinced in commencing them but this war is
as cowardy as it is wicked. wealthy, enghten-
ed and powerful Republic of twenty millions OF peo-
pie is attempting to humble and despoil ignorant,
enfeebled distracted nation of seven millions, and
these in good part semi-barbarous Aborgnes of this
continent The giant who should beat cripple
would be hero in comparison"
Wing Volunteers! Or AMERICAN Volunteers,
who have called yourselves wings, do you endorse
such doctrines! No; No! NO!!! The honor of
such sentiments belongs only to woud-be leaders,
British Ways.
Hear now Severance, Wing member of Congress
from Maine:
He declares that che belieres the Mericans on the
Rio Grdnde haze been acting in self defence, and #
they hare made manly resistance 10 Gen Taylor they
to be honored and aPplanded for doing So"
Look also at the fourteen wings of Congress who
voted against relieving little army after it was
attacked-John Quincy Adams, Ashmun, Cranston.
Culper, Delano, Gi3dIngs, GrinneH, Hudson,
ID. p. King, Root, Severance, Strohm, 7ylden and
Vance These must be the true patriots, according
to the Journals logic; and should not wonder, such
tales are told of ate to hear that they fought in the
the revolutionary war; bled in the last war; and abso-
