the occasion and truth may seemjto require
"A ScOrching Rebuke.
The Columbus (Ohio) Stateman calls I" the at
ention of every sound hearted patriot in the State
to the following noble, country-lovins proceedings
by the volunteers at Dayton. They met to cele-
brate great baule, great victory-to do honor
to the dead who sleep after the battle is over. In
the funess Of their feelings they spoke, and spoke
like freemcn who feel the insults and injury of
men whom, while they denounced with one BREATH
they pretended to admire with the next" Is In
what striking contrast is the patriotic language Of
these volunteers, who have served their country
in the tented 6eld. TO those wbigs who are lending
aid and comfort 10 the enemy-to the Schenks,
the Corwins, the Howes of the whig party We
commend these Resolutions to the particular atten-
tion Of the Mexican Preamble Wings of North

resolutions:
! Assembled as we are contemplating to celebrate
the anniversary Of one of The most glorious achieve
meats of American arms-the stormng and cap
ture of the Mexican city Of Monterey-and deem
ing 1T necessary to vindicate ourselves from the
stigma which a portion of the American people
seem desirous of casting upon Us, by denouncng
| the war in which we have fought unrigheous,
unholy. damnabe. and unjust we give expression
to our sentiments in the following resolutions
1. Resolved, That we consider the present war
between the United States and Mexico as first
brought on by MexIco--she refusing TO amIcabv
adjust the difficulties existing between US, ordered
her troops to cross the Rio Grande and attack the
American army. '.. --
! 2. ResoLred, That the hostili,ies being thus
commenced, and war being declared actually 10
exist by the act of Mexico, II became the duty o:
every patriotic citizen 10 give his entire and cor
dial support until Mexico shall be forced TO te.ms
! of peace.
8. Resolred,r That We scorn all the sympathy
and praise of those whose perversity of vision
| affects TO see bravery and virtue in our conduct,
while they denouuce as unhoiy and unjust the war
| in which we volunteered to fight
4. ResoIred, That we speak from actual knowl-
edge and observation, when we say that the con-
duct of certain senators and representatives, In
Congress, in refusing to grant supplies 10 our sol
diers in Mexico, and not approving the prosecution
of The war; gave aid and comfort 10 the enemy.
| 5. Resotred, That the unpatrotc course OF
Senator Corwin in Congress exhibited more love
and sympathy for the Mexcans than he did ior his
own counIrymen and should be distinguished
Infamous that his speech, teeming with misrepre-
senIaIions, the object of which was 10 excite pity
and commiseraticn for the Mexicans, and hatred,
disgust, aud contempt for and the cause in
hIoh vnI IIu 0oh at q r.
character was his alluson TO the angel Mexican
girl who was blown TO atoms with cannon ball
while engaged in carrying water TO sake the thirst
of the wounded and dying soldier all OF which.
If true would have been del plorable indeed, though
We fIom actual observ alton, know that this lovely
Mexican girl was in truth none other than dis
gusing female robber, plundenng the bod es OF the
dead and dying soldiers when a musket-ball struck
her.
g. Resolred That the course of r. G. Schenck
in Congress against the war was unmanly and un-
just, and that he has failed to justify II, because II
was wrong and unj justifable.
7. Resolved, That the man who denou1ces the
war as unright eous infamous, and unhOly, and at
fects TO praise the conduct of the soldiers who vol
unIeered in it, either plays the part of the dema-
gogue, himself considers them devoid Of percep-
Ioa understanding. .-. ......... -- --... ..-
s. ResoLred That we regard with continual and
unqualified attachment and admira,ion our late
comma nding officer, Major Luther Giddings, and
think he has richly merted all the praise he enjoys
g. Resoired That will hail with pleasure
the return Of peace, if by the force of aims the
Mexicans are brought To terms but that we should
regard peace as ignomin ious, if brought about
by the retreat or withdrawal of our forces.
10. Resoired, That we found in our intercourse
with the Mexieans, the character OF that people TO
be treacherous, 1evengeful. and inhuman-that
they would stab and murder without pity our
wounded comrades-then mu:llate IN the most
shocking manner their dead bodies-often taking
out their hearts and bowels and hanging them upon
poles and chapparal that an enemy thus Daroar-
Gus, instead OF receiving sympathy from Proiessed
American citizens, ough to receive the condemna-
ton of all Chrstendom, and fully deserves the treat
ment which Old Rough and Ready and General
Scott with their soldiers have dealt to them.
H. Resolued That we will never forget those
of our gallant comrades whose blood has moiseDed
the soil of Mexico, and whose bones are now buried
beneath her bosom that they baptized their love
Of country with their blood and that their names
will be remembered, honored, and revered BY US
as long as history bears testimony.
