No More Territory---whig Harmony


We commend the following to Senator Corwin and
the Wings of Ohio. who so hungriy caught at the
. no more territory" bait thrown out some weeks
ago by an anonymous correspondent of the National
lnelhgencer. There is great uniformity in the party
just now, truly Nothing since the bank, tariff and
distribution to be given up, is left in common,
except that sympathy of hatred of which John
Quincy Adams wrote. Webster in the North,
resoule for the Wilmot Provso and no more slave
ry; Berren in the South, for territory. but
d,ubly resolute for slavery, if territory be annexed
and COrwln IN the West, peadalatiag between the
two, ready for any trump What picture! Where
are the carlcaturlsts, usually numerous on the
Of presidential election, and happy in their hits
The puzzlng dualisIn,' or rather perhaps should
say POyiSm, of Wing principles, forciby brings to
mind tue school boys idea of Chaos-a great pile Of
nothing with place to put it in. The extract Is
from the Nashville Wing, the leading organ of the
party in Tennessee. We copy from the Richmond
Enquirer. The remark about the unconstitutional
assumption of the war-making power by MIR. Polk
dlscloses sumo of the Wing spirit, and shows that
we do quote locofoco authority. The Wing. it
will be Observed is for plundering Mexico TO the
fall, in payment for tie expenses of this unjust war
for retaining third of her territory, and not
even paying dollar in exchange. This is heading

That even viewing the state of affairs IN conse-
quence # the proceedings at the Capital, we ought
not this account, to despair of defending the nde-
pcndence Of the nation attacked without motive or
ground by the United States.
That as long as the National Congress confded to
me the executive power, long resources col
lected for the campaign, but now. if the be
continued, it would be extremely inc0nvenient to
the residence of the supreme powers from the
centre of the Republic.
That although the decree Of the General Congress
for its removal, not confirmed, it nevertheless
manifested It's concurrence with Article LIST of the
project by which was TO prepare 10 tx lis residence
in the city of Queretaro.
That in a national war, and with the enemy in the
bosom Of the Republic, the greatest evils which might
supervene should be avoided, which would be to dis
solve the government of the Union, and give to
the various designs of faction, by leaving the road
designated by the fundamental law of the country.
That the act contemplated by this decree is demand
ed by circumstances. in fact neither the General
Congress, nor the Council of Government, nor the
permanent deputation, was assembled that ii is one
of the indispensable methods of advancing the war,
and comprehended in the restrictions placed by

Of the American army-worthy the sons of the land
of the free and home Of the brave. 1t was at time
when their hearty corporation with the officers was
needed-at time when death was being dealt in their
midst unsparingly and at a time when IL tried the
hearts of the bravest Of the brave These noble sol
diers are worthy of some reward from the country.
and sincerely hope those designated by their officers
will receive they justly entitled, commissions
in the army in accordance with the late act of Con
gress. The heavy loss have sustained will require
that many appointments will have to be made either
from the ranks or from civil life and those who have
acquitted themselves handsomely in the ranks, vii
