CAUSE ron ATrACK.-The Union is at its
dirty work, not only again, but continually.
L Is laboring 10 deceive the people into the
belief that the Wing party is anxious TO pres
vent the government of the United States,
from conducting with firmness and efficien
cy the war which, however it happened.
seems TO exist between this country and
Mexico. This dirty and wicked piece Of
deception, that bellies one-half Of the ciii>
zens of this great Republic, is attempted 10
procure a sort Of unnatural support to the
miserable administration; and, because it is
evident that in any war which caa exist be-
tween this country and America, alone, Mex
leo must be incomparably the greatest suf-
ferer, and this country triumphant, therefore
the Union seeks to drive OF the Wings from
sustaining the Government; and failing in
that, ii is seeking TO make people at dis
tantce believe that they, the Wings, have
done the evil which the administration would
have them to do. II is the bitterest dose
that the administration has been compelled
to swallow--the determination of the Wings
not to be driven from their{principles or the
country, let who will admihisIeE.its govern.

war, just for its own pleasure, to bring to.
