ATTEMPTS of HE Partizan Wigs 10 In1nrf the
Naturalization in connection pih The MEXICAN
War.
The bitter partizans in New Orleans, (says Inc
Mississippian,) recently attempted meeting IN
opposition 10 The administration. The following
account of what occurred is both amusing and In
structing: :,
"Aier Col. Randall Hunt and several other
gallant Wing orators had address the meeting
in strains OF sublime, whitening and superhuman
eoquence, Mr.. Sawyer, OF the Tropic, fose'
strong indignation being depicted on his connle-
nance, and offered he following preamble and re-
solutions:
Whereas. James X. Polk President Of the U.
| g. L., inf
Senate 10 effect dishonorable peace with Mex
| leo
Resolved, That The measure thus recommended
is calculated 10 larnsh the honor Of the Ameri-
can arms 10 encourage the enemy's insolence,
and to reflect eternal disgrace upon the United
States.
Realized, That the citizens Of Louisiana, more
particularly that portion Oft them who rejoice IN the
name OF Wings, will never recognize any treaty OF
peace with Mexico, ven should il be concluded
and afterwards ratified by both parties-but that
we will rally under the guidance OF The immor-
tai Gaines, and make war on our own hook,
till The Republic OF Mexico is subvered, and The
hated name OF Mexican erased from the page OF
history
The question on the adoption of the resolutions
being about 10 be put-somc one in the crowd
moved an amendment, which denounced as rai-
tors and towards all American citizens who ap-
proved the Presidents proposition.
Here Mr.. Sawyer looked blank; he declared
the amendment 10 be inconvenient as il implica-
ted in its censure the principal men OF the Wing
party. The individual who offered the amend
ment insisted that the question should be taken
upon il. Great excitement and uproar ensneo,
during which MIR. Sawyer's speclacles were bro
ken, COL Peters cried shame, and Col. Humbus
Jumped out Of the window. The meeting final
ly broke up in row"
