Our party met with some signal defeats during the h
year The opposition carried even New York, penpsl
vana and New Hampshire. The Empire keystone AMI
Granite States, were shaken from their "propriety
These disasters are to be attributed in part the n
tvity which is too often the fruit of previous victo
and partly to the divisions which nourished in Il.
bosom of triumphant party. But the very defeats Al
the last year are calculated counterac these msche
TO rouse the slumberng, and TO heal the divisions Of ON
party In addition 10 the recuperatye energy which then

and presses of the federal party have reused the nd

have given to the enemy Most OF the federal members
Congress have attacked the war, granted relue,~
and dilatory supplies, and cheered the Mexcans n \
their opposition to the administration Their speeches Nh
well the vtperatve essays OF their presses have ben
republished in Mexico, to cheer up her deluj,
people In those States, where the elections are nov
going on the federal candidates raying upon th,E
war issue. Tariff, bank, every other issue of the w
great parties anxiously winked out of sight and care
fully avoided and the war has become the main object

But the brilliant victories we have recently won, ls
investment and almost certain capture of Vera Cruz the
honorable war which we are waglng and the Honorable
peace TO which its vigorous and triumphant prosecutor
will probably conduct u.s. at distant day, putting
flight all the nsdious attacks of the opposition. "a

But why this cold. paralyzing, and nsdious Language
Does the lntegencer mean to assert that our counrym

for peace' Does the Integencer mean to contend that
the administration not DESTROYS of closing the war
upon honorable terms Does not the Intelgencer know
that the very worst way to effect an honorable pacica

clared to be ''moral treason in 1922 Why does

the Wyhevile Republican, g staunch and clever Viz
gina supporter of democracy in the southwestern por
ton of the State The editor of that paper, is well
known, has strong sympathies with Mr.. Calhoun and
with him carps about the war, and with him calls for its
termination.
