There seems to be some who are con.
tinually finding fault wth,and opposing,
euery movement which is made by the
Government to bring the Mexican war
to an honorable termination. What do
they expect will be gained by pursuing
such curse! Should tLey be urged tothis
by the hope of gaining or achieving polit-
ical power, we would request them BY al:
means to consider and ponder well upon
the history oftEe last war with Great Brit
ain. Those who took sides against that
war, and stigmatized il as UNNECESSARY
and inexpedient," brought upon them,
selves the hatred and condemnation of
every true American. The history of our
country shows, conclusiveIy, that there
is no popularity or capital to be realized
by esPousing the cause Of an enemy, Or
attempting in any manner TO rctard or
paraiyze the energies Of our Government
in time of war.
The war which our Government is
now engaged in, was brought on by the
repeated aggressinns of the Mexicans
themselves. They declared war against
US, and stained our oGn soil with the
blood of its citizens! Every reasonable
tender of peace, which according to the
law of nations could be expected, from
this Government, has been offered. And
every honorable means was tried by the
Executive, to e 7ade the ''last resort" but
without the desired effect. That nation.
has without any just cause or provocation
declared war against US, and encroached
upon our territory. She is at this time,
and has been making every effort, & uni
ting all her energies to defeat our army.
At this important crisis, the American
Press, and, likewise, every lover Of A.
merican Freedom, should cease to abuse
the administrator waichis exerting4li its
powers 10 prosecute tie war with energy,
and 10 compel that fanatic race ofpeopIe
to agree to an honorable peace. Those
who exPecttO gain poll zeal capital l,y
abusing the President, and denouncing all
his acts, in relation to the war, as .'inex-
pedient, had better be more cautious in
their manner OF dealing out their opposl-
ton to those who have The welfare OF the
country under their charge. The Presi-
dent, and those who are associated with
him in the management of the war, have
acted consistently, and in accordance with
principles of sound policy and reason so
far; and they. undoubtedly, viii lie sus.
tanned in their movements by a majority
of the people of this Union.
6rIt is said Notwithstanding the ruin,
Ous Tariff which was adopted by the last
Congress. that an extensive manufactur
ing company has been organized at
Wheeling Va, for the manufacture of
cotton cloths. The 'spanic" cry seems
bosO 1OSs rs tVtEOTSS anu commences
will still reign as. heretofore, among the
manufacturers of the country. The pro.
tectionists are, perhaps. convinced that the
people cannot be SO easily hulnbugged by.
The cry of''ruin. as they expected.
