e The unanimity of the people 1t is not less
matter of pride, than of glory to the Union. The
self-sacrificng valor Of tho Greeks at Thermopy-
lae-the bravery OF the Carthagenians, when
their last stronghold was assaied-the spirit Of
the Britons in charging upon foot the ships fCe-
sar. ere they reached the land--the brilliant pa
triotis,n Of the French in the defence Of their
t;onality during their bloody revolution-the
temper of the Russians, in burning their capital
to expel the nvader-the spirit Of liberty in all
ages-of national pride and national glory, burn
as brightly now throughout these United states, az
a genuine tory in the country. The little brush
with Mexico, has only shewn what would be
the spirit Of resistance against the world COM
binoti. The President from all quarters Is bur-
dened w,ifh applications of volunteers, and tho
conses, for !, chance with the Mexcans, actually
