Return 10 Reason.

We occasionally meet with strong inli
cations of returning sanity in some Of ou'
wing co!emporaries OF this character il
may be said is the following from the Nash.
vile Wig of late date. The editor o.
tie Wing, unable to resist the influence oil
the war tide which has flowed in his own
State with undated force since the sound
of the first bugle-note called to arms,
strikes boldly in, and expresses himself
thus:
For ourselves, we are in favor of re-
tanning Upper California and New Mex,
co, without paying to Mexico, in money,
the first red cent" therefor. Long prior
to the commencement of actual hostiities
between the two countries, Mexico as
sumed, without any just provooation, a
menacng attitude, and, in fact, occupied
a position of quase war towards the Uni.
ted States, which it was incumbent on the
latter to put an end to, even by a resort to
arms if necessary. These just grounds OF
war. afforded by Mexico, were in 10 wise
affected, impaired or taken away by the
unconstitutional assumption of the war
making power by Mr.. Polk, in ordering
the army to the Rio Grande, and thus
bringing on the war Whether the pow
er TO order forcible possession TO be taken
of the territory in dispute, belonged TO
our Congress or to our Executive, WAS
NO CONCERN OF MExlco. She refused TO
settle the question Of boundary By ncgo.
fiation, before host!litics commenced. She
cut off I'll diplomatic relations with us, and
refused even to receive resident minis
ter from the United States. Since the
commencement of the war, she has again
and again refused to enter into negotiations
for peace. By The lars Of nations, there
fore, and by the immutable principles of
common sense and common justice, the UNI
ted States haze right TO retain possession
cfa portion Of the territory conquered iron,
.herico, by way Of indemnify for the err
penses incurred by them in the prosecution Of
the oar"
Such sentiments as these, coming from
the quarter they do, are encouraging, and
lead US 10 hope that the insane and oft re-
futed cry Of "nnjust and Infamous war;
"Polk's war;" &c., &e., will soon be
abandoned in all directions, at least until
the close ofthe war, and our enemy see
nothing in us but determination to pros
ecute the contest with increased vigor.-
We hope the editor Of the Whig has few
more exquisite touches of the same sort
lelt-We like to come across such "feel-
ers" in the whig-journals.- Floridain.

our adversely, saw fit to withdraw the
light Of their reconciled countenances and
consigned us to political perdition. We
allude more particularly to the .Milraukee
Courier and The Chicago ''Democraa,'' who
intilna,ed that friends, in refusing to
be made instruments for the preparation
Of the basest fraud upon the people Of To-
Wa, were guilty Of trifing with the public
interest. Tothem we would say that, the
course Of our party having met the popular
approval, the clouds that erst oyerhung
our political armament are fast clearing
away, and the day star Of democracy il
again in the ascendant. The weather is
quite fair with us, and they may venture
to approach without shocking their deli
cate consciences or exciting their tende'
.ympatlies for the dear people.

Trl,,,tl,f,,lnlcss.

As striking instance Of this virtue in
the Ha~ keye, we subjoin two paragraphs
for comparison by our readers. Some
time before the democrats had made their
nomination in Lee county. that paper
said: s44I,l
eThe difficulty between the Dodge and
Ivan Antwerp factions. is evidently heal
ed in some way, and now since the cleo
ton is ordered III Lee, no expense will be
spared BY the Dodge clique to elect Espy
or the neat strongest Dodge man in Lee to
fill the vacancy. ~
Here Espy is represented as the 'strong-
est Dodge man" that could be found in
Lee county. Now see what the same pa
per Of the 18th inst, says after the cleo
/ ton:
sKEsr, the loco toco Dodge candidate, is
elected in Lee County. The election came
off last Monday, and as both himself and
EsrY were loco focos, we presume the
Wings, generally, did not take much inter-
est in the matter. We have said all along
thai if the Dodge candidate was elected in
Lee, that and that alone would secure a
call for all extra session of our Legisla-
ture."
Here he represents MIR. Kent as being
the dodge candidate" and beating Espy
whom, before the election, he represented
to be the strongest Dodge man.
Further comment upon the Hawkeye's
trnthfulness is unnecessary. But we will
just remark that the object of all this wing
palaver about Dodge and anti Dodge can
didates, is for the purpose of diverting the
peoples attention from principles 10 men.
Ii they can succeed in narrowing the is
sues between the two parties down to men,
they will have some lope Of triumphing
over us; for, principle once set aside, the
divisions among the democracy as to men
would irdeed offer them fair prospect
Of success Hence, their effort 10 make i.
| appear that the only care of the de'nocra-
| cy, is to elect Gen. Dodge to the United
States Senate, solely out of regard for him
| as man.
Bat this game is loo weak to succeed,
if the democracy are on their guard. The
democratic party contend for tUo demo-
cratic United States Senators, to repre-
sent their principles in that body, who
ever the men may be; and they will have
them, too. Mr.. Kent was the democratic
candidate in Lee county against whiggery
and mongrelism. Who are his choice TOR
Senators We do not know; but this we do
know that lie is sterling democrat, and
will vote Tor the men upon whom his par
ty unite.

Editorial Changc--A Retrospect.

Editorial Change. -A retrospect.
Mr.. GREEsE,th the senior editor Of the
Miners Express, having received the ap..
pointment Of Judge Of the Supreme Court,
his connection with that sheet has ceased,
and the editorial charge Of the same con-.
sequently devolves upon Gro. W. MIR
RIFT, Esq, former junior editor. We
are informed that Mr.. Merritt, with
whom we have no personal acquaintance,
is very young man, an ardent and true
democrat, and Of unimpeachable moral
character. His editorials are spirited and
evince no small degree Of ability.
ToJuDGE GREENE, on his retiring from
the tripod and assuming the judicial err
mine, congratulating him on his good for
tune, we wish long life and happiness,
with every blessing to his basket and his
store. This expression of good will we
feel the more incumbent upon us in view
Of the differences and i'll feeling which
have heretofore existed between u. in our
| cotemporaneous editcral careers. Breth-
ern of the same political faith, engaged in
! the advancement of common cause, we
have nevertheless found ourselves con-
fronting each other N hostile array not,
indeed, "mid clashing swords and gleam-
ing Steel" but bris,ling quilts and loaded
columns shivering lances upon certain
questions, mostly Of a local nature.
Whatever we may have thought Of his
course, while mutually "breasting the rug
ged front Of war;" we cheerfully accord
him the merit Of much zeal and uniform
consistency since, and of having thereby
rendered very acceptable service to the
democracy. We thought him entirely in
the wrong. He, doubtless, thought the
same of us. He thought that we abused
him beyond measure in the way of epi-
thets, inyeclive, sc; whereas, we thought
that in this respect he had very much the
advantage of us.
Much that was said on both sides, has
long since been consigned to the shades
of oblivion. But we have distinct re-
collection of his having bestowed upon us
certain epithets in round set phrase; one
of which, in particular Grouley''
will perhaps adhere to US as a coono-
men SO long as we continue 10 ''dabb!e in
The turbid pool of politics. This ALA
sion is not made from any feeling of sore
ness upon this score. nor 10 rake up the
| old rubbish Of editorial controversy; for in
truth, barring the partieipiaI adjectives,
necessarily snnrling," &c., which accom-
panied the original of the cegnomen, we
like it much. Indeed, we would not ex-
change it for the fancy name of any quill
| driver in the West. All will admit that
it is much preferable to "Old Blue Face
| in every respect.
The Ratchet has lorg since been buried
at least on our side-though silently
and without any agreement or formality.
There are some things which we can new
er forgive; among which may be mention.
ed a cod breakfast and unbi!den guests
in bed. But, these aside. we can forgive
and forget almost any thing but downright
inflelity or insult.

A letter from one of the leading bankers
il London, and an Ex Governor Of the
Bank, has been shown in the monetary
circles Of this city, in which the writers
says: "Wiihin week there will be a
crash, which will as,onish the world. To
what he refers is not known, but il is
thought that he has reason to know that
the Bank had decided not to renew the
loans which it had made of the moneys
collected for the the payment OF 'he divi-

Massachusetts Esactiors.

The following table which we take from
that able democratic journal, the Boston
Post, shows the result of the election
which came off on the 9Th inst. in this
State. twill be seen that the Democracy
have done their duty nobIy-and have
frightened federalism in its very strongest
den--yea, even in old federal Msssachu-
sets. The war was made the test-the
feds opposing it as they did during the
last war, and the Democrats in favor Of
its prosecution to an honorable peace, and
Of sustaining he Administration in all
its measures in relation thereto. Upon
this question the Democrats have gained
largely on their federal opponents over
last years vote; and should they stand firm
and make such another effort, the dry bones
Of federalism will receive such shaking,
that they will be Frustrated ere long, be-
fore the friends Of the country; and the
proud banner Of the Democracy with
"Our Country first-Our Country last
Our Country always inscribed upon its
folds, may yet float trinmphantly over the
"old Bay State"
