Such is the spirit in which Mr. Folks organ con-

party done, to merit these audations?
! You will remember that among the lying and
subternucs resored to by the Locofoco party to
carry annexation, was an assurance to the Country
that we should have no war with Mexico. The
predictions of Henry Clay and other distinguished
Wings that it would involve the country in war,
! were Laughed down. Charles Jared lngersolI, the
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rela
tons in order to make the country toe the mark on
annexation made speech in favor of the measure
on Friday Jan. 3 1915. The following extract is
from the report in the Congressional Globe, as cor
rcctod by himself tp. S6):
"To Mexico we offer explanation for our incor-
pora,ion of Texas explanation which she will be
satisfied with. ! am happy to be author
lied to assure this House. that those best acqnaint
ed with the true state of things, apprehend little or
no danger Of war; the main sinew of war-money
will heal the breach and end the controversy
amicabIy. Itaiords me great satisfaction to be du-
thorized to state that hostltes are not probable
with Mexico"

Gen Desha, of Ala, whom Polk g. Co., had wan
tonly exposed among foreign people IN battle a.
galnst such tremendous odds -uen' Desha Is a
wing.
Look over the movements in New Orleans, Mo-
bile, Kentucky Tennessee and other places where
men have not merely talked of volunteering but
hare actually rushed to the scene OF contest, ana
you will find that the Wings were foremost in raj
lying to the rescue OF their wing brethren IN arms
fighting at once against superior foe and against
the disadvantages with winch the administration
had surrounded them, for want OF foresight, vlgor,
and energy.
Finally the Union must see the manner in which
it exposes itself, by trying to compare the patrl-
oiism of the two parties. We protested against
The mad schemes by which this war was brought
on. When it was brought on, the Wings almost
exclusively have done the fighting. These Loco
ocos sat in their White Houses and palaces, SIAN
derng these very wings who are on the tented field,
and trying to rob them of their bood-bough! lau-
res whcrcwth to crown an mbece!
What does the organ want the Wing party to do ?
We have voted them all the supplies they asked OF
money and men. We have filled the ranks not
with words but with mon. What else can be ex-
peced? All! Mr.. Polk wants to be reelected, and
he hopes to take away public watchtunesss from
his own nisdeeds by covering them with the blood
of his fellow citizens. The trick has, to certain
extent taken, but the deuson will not last. There
