HONOR TO WHOM, HONOR IS DIE

Some of the wing presses, says the Union, are
defending their own equivocal course behind the
shield of the warriors who are now defending
their country. They ask US why we are taunt-
ing some of the wing papers with want of public
spirit; for, they say, is not General Taylor a
wing, and General Worth, and other distinguish.
ed oficers7 We are not acquainted with their
politics. We have never looked to that question.
All we can say is, that be they wings or be they
democrats, let them receive the laurels which
they win. The administration does not grudge
them the honors because they may be wings If
these distinguished officers are not solicious to
show their political opinions, we are moi solicit
Gus to look into their opinions and surely we do
not wish TO deny them one atom Of tho honor to
which their distinguished services entitle them.
The Executive is the first TO pay General Taylor
the honor which he so gloriously deserves, what
ever be his politics. We have never yet heard
it asked, is General Taylor wing or democrat
and it is wing paper which is the first to bring
Up that question.

Gen. Morse of Natchitoches, states, an express

with orders from the local authorities of Texas to
raise force 10 repel the incursion of the Chero
KEGS upon the frontier of Texas, and that comma

OUR FLAG!
IMPROVEMENT OF THE
PRESS.

The time has nearly arrived
when a permanent and decided i'm
provement must be made in the
appearance of the two papers un-
der our control, The JNe,o Era and
The old Dominion. To enable us
to carry out our intentions, we
shall start for the north on Thurs
day evening next. Such of our
friends as are indebted to us will
confer a particular favor by giving
us a call previous to that time, as
we want all the pecuniary assis-
lance they can render us. We
shall be extremely grateful for all
evidences oftangible approval that
may be rendered us previous to
that time; while renewed energy
will be given to our efforts to do
ourselves, and our fellow citizens
all the good that they can expect
from a we'll conducted newspaper.
