A Home Thrust.

The Meigs County Times, a wing paper printed at
Pomery in this State, has kicked up dust with the
party leaders generally, and the State journal par
tlcuar In recent number, it thus hits off the 'sa-
bominable recklessnes, and base inconsistency" of
It's own party. The picture is a most faithful one.
g But there is another thing connected with the
policy of these leading Wing papers,, which precudes
us from taking them for guide 1t is that sublime
system of morality they have discovered, by which
they are enabled TO denounce the war one 'unpara-
Ieled in iniquity.' and at The time urge more
vigorous prosecution of it than the Administration it.
SELF True, say they, the war was unconstitutional
y commenced by Mr.. Polk extend the area of sla-
very-but now, you know, it has become the country S
war, and we are for our country, right wrong.
What reason-what logic! Men may volunteer and
go to Mexico, sack cities, rob houses-murder Mexi-
cans, carry desoation. ruin, rapine, and boodshcd
through all that land-and then hold Mr. Polk re-
sponslbe for all that is done! Great God! And this
IN achrstian and-in the nineteenth Century! Abomi-
nable recklesspess-base inconsistency! How con-
veniept that such have the President for pack
hprse to heap their burdens upon Hold the Presl-
dent responsible, indeed We tell these men they
must find mote plausible excuse to clear themselves
before the bar of an intelligent community"

This is fine company of brave young men, and we
proud to say that it is the third company raised
in Indianapolis, during the war with Mexico.
On Wednesday afternoon the "Hancock Bhoys,'
commanded by Captain Bracken, passed through this
city on their way the railroad, to join their regi-
ment. This company is composed of the real bone
and snew Of the country and looked as if they would
do good service should an opportunity offer. They
made handsome appearance as the grand cavacade
of wagons passed through streets. The good peo-
pie Of Hancock have displayed the right spirit in Civ
ing transportation to the Bhoys to the depot. Our

Gaping the Climax.

We copy the following disgracefu correspondence
from the 80 Boston Courier" with the Introductory
remark Of the 90 New YORK Globe" Our reader $
will perceive that this Major General Appleton Howe,
holding military commission from the Governor of
Massachusetts, has written letter which would al
most add infamy to the name of Benedict Arnold
himself We have inclination to dwell upon the
salient points in this disgusting compound of arrant
misrepresentation and moral treason" 1t only
remains to be seen whether the people Of Massachu-
sets will quietly submit to Gen. Appleton Howe
hold commission which he has dishonored, and
wear uniform which he has disgraced. Amidst all
the odious exhibitions of wing fanaticsm in relation
to the which have yet SEEM no one approa
the unprovoked and cold-blooded enormity of this
letter. The Hudsons, the Schencks. and the Corwns,
OF the last Congress, may at least plead the excite
ment of debate poor palliaiion of their rawlings
But what one shadow of excuse has Mr. Appleton
Howe for thus, in his official capacity attempting at
to heap insult and SANDER upon the cause of his
country, and to outrage all the best feelings of the
soldier and the P1triot by proanng even the sacred
ness OF the grave, and volunteering 10 backen the
name and fame Of brave man who has laid down
his life sacrifice in the maintenance of her rights
and her honor!
If there be Misrepresentation in this scandal
ous document outrageous than the rest it is its
bold assertion that the present was contrved for
the purpose of "extending and perpetuang slavery"
But Gen. Howe has not tine honor of originating this
scandal. He has only the glory of repeating an
assertion which was contrived by the abolitionsts
and their allies. Srange indeed, that this outrageous
assertion made after the war had been sanctioned
by the votes of Congress- and that the wings did not
resist the war; if there had been the slightest color
of truth pausibiliiy in it. The assertion is
false, come from what quarter it may. The claims
Of our citizens on Mexico. the invasion of our own
territory by her troops and the shedding of tile blood
of our own people upon our own soil, must all be
overlooked in order to furnish bold and outrageous
caumny upon the Executive. upon Congress, upon
ellowcilizens, and especially the volunteers who
have rushed to the standard of their country.

The New York correspondent of the Washington
Union says that ga kind of potato rot seems t
have Overtaken large class of dealers IN the Old
World, as well as among fancy stock spectators in
New York. By late accounts it appears that some
twenty-five important firms have failed, with aggre-
gate liabilities amounting to some f3064 900. OF
this, f. 100000 was distributed among twelve Lon
don huu>es. .f2I7,OOO in Liverpool, f62I, 600 in
Ireland, and the balance in other cities The proxi-
mate cause of these stoppages is the fall of grain
but investigation shows that most of these concerns
have had for years, fraudulent cxistence-that is,
that actual inability to their debts has been con-
ceaed under false credit and the explosion has ia
ken place by of continued and severe press

that when The war broke oul, "lhe first impulse
(of Gen. w. - as honest as i, was patriotic was
to volunteer his services. With this honorable
resolution, he came before The people as cam
didae Tor Congress, and was beaten by The anti
