win tne wings VINO nave read Ion Corwln's
Speech and who are engaged in lauding its author
leader, and fit for the highest office within the cih
OF the People-wl they, we ASK, point out to US and
the world any difference in the sentiments of it from
the following letter of Urred, native Mexicanl We
can see none. Both Corwin and Urea stgmalize the
unjust and barbarous. Both say that civilized
nations detest it. Both language derogatory to
the President of the United States. Both declare to
our soldiers that they engaged in fighting in ar
unjust and wicked war against brave and mag mani
nous people, Both invite our soldiers to bloody
graves in Mexico, if they do not withdraw or desert
to the enemy. In word, both entertain the same
sentiments these great questions If there is ay
difference in their views, will the wings show it, and
let know why Mr.. Corwin is more entitled TO the
Presidency than Urea himself.
General Joseph Urea, Of the Mexican army, Com.
znandant General Inspector of the Interior Eastern
States, and IN chief of the dieSion of Obser ration
TO the American inrdders
Soldiers and volunteers of the American artnvi the
war that you carry against Mexico is the un-
just and barbarous that can be conceived. Civilized
nations detest it, they do not see in you the defenders
of the rights of an injured country, but merely the
tools Of Without foresight ,cithout calculation
'oho, 10 obtain unfortunate celebrity, has no, feared
seriously 10 compromise great people Do not doubt
1t. Every sensible American will consider this wal
one of the most atrocious nature-Sent by Polk "a
MericO-and essentially niqutous, because it is van
dac, and bellies the severe republican principles that
you an profess, because it to convert the chill
dren Of Washington aud Franklin into robbers and
assasiDs.
Sons of America let the world see you in a better
light than in the miserable and odious character you
now represent Do not serUe dny longer The caprice
Of man destitute Of rirtue or good feeling. Alan
don has lines because they not those OF honorable
men-throU yourselves into tie arms IF the Merican
nation, 1chO, magHanimOas and tOrgiring, wM forged
The injuries you hare committed Here YOU will find
ground cultivate honest occupation whereby to GA
the necessaries of llfe without great fatigue You
will find the sympah.s of generous people, end Il c
tranquility of conscience otherwise to be obtain
ed because the man who attacks and destroys the
principle of universal moral, which brings together
nations as it does individuals cannot obtain it.
Soldiers and volunteers! come to as and abandon The
cause Of crime walt your appearance and will re.
ceive you as brothers.
JOSEPH UREA.
lula de Tamaupas, Aug. ~, 1S47.
And who, asks the Ohio Statesman. is this Urea
that dares thus address the American soldier! Who
is this man that gathers up the slang of his allies in
our midst and repeats them to our soldiers abroad
Read the sentences we have UNDERSIGNED, and ask,
what Vhig is this In Mexicol We will tell you who
he s-or let the FGcg :ell it:
sin paper of the 18th August, from San Luis Po-
tos, with which we have been most coureously favor
ed, we find correspondence between Gen. Urea aud
Col. Carvajal The latter wrote from Santa Barba
on the 3lst of July, and Urea from Tula on the 10Th
August. The correspondence regards certain charges
brought against Capt. Cavaja by the Defensor de
Tamaulipas. Our readers would not be interested in
the controversy. 1t is enough say that the Defen-
Sor, paper published at Victoria as continually erpo-
sing the oarages Of the 6dnditi, cho under Urrea's
command, commit almost many ercesSes upon eir
olCa deenceess couRtrJmen upon American trains "
'This Urea, then, is the leader Of bandiLli that
is rob6ing both his own countrymen and the Ameri-
cans! He is thus pronounced by Mexican paper
printed at or near his head quarters The leader OF
gang of robbers who expects to get Office honors
and Money in Mexico by denouncing the war as 4
,oar as Folks war, just as certain men are
expecting Office, and its honors and emoluinents in
this country by the use of The same language-yes,
in Ohio, at your doors, by the use of the very
same language! The next proclamation we get from
this robber, expect will be in opposition to the ac-
QUESTION of ANY more territory by our people,
which he will especially address to The southern SOL
dier an lieu Of the Wilmot Proriso, repeating, that
on that question, ''tce all harmonize."
