smy Judgment
Mind that it is Mr. WEBSTER who says ths--not
The Tribune. We quote it as evidence Of what the
abes. and most eminent Wings in the country are
boldly saying in regard 70 this War.
So Of Hon. ROBERT C. WINTHROP. He, TOO, if
we mistake not, has voted for every War Supply
bill, and was year ago opposed by the Con
science Wings so called, of Boston because be
was deemed too compaisant toward the War. Yet
in his Speech at the great Wing Meeting in Fan
euil Hall on the Sd inst he said
There is, then. but policy for II pre-
serve the peace Of the country and the Union Thu
either for part the whole Of Mexico be abandon
ed We must establish boundary line according to
own interest, and must place armies in position 10
maintain that line against Mexico against the world.
" Humiliation I" What humiliation can there ever be in
doing night, What humiliation in subserving our own
Interests, What humiliation there ever be IN pro-
claiming TO the world, See what we have done
have gone on siorously everywhere oil that brave
and skful generals could accomplish has been
pished more than ever done beneath the tcer
tainly beneath the same sum- ve have accomplished We
have knocked at the Of the citadel and entered the
very Of her capital snd content ourselves
with inscribing Non est nventus" upon her walls and
proceed 20 take 10 advance interests
10 that humiliation mo sir IL IL consistent with honor,
with justice, with manhood, and the sense Of the civilized
world will be with nc In proposition Of this kind"
Mr. II proceeded 10 state that he he had already
taken this ground substantially in Congress having
there offered anti acquisition Proviso to be at
tacbed to War Supply bill,-which Proviso was
supported by the vote Of erery Wig IN The House
BIT II is in the following words
"Prouided That these appropriations made with
with Mexico for The ac9uisoH of srrOrg to form new
states 10 be added TO this Union for the dsmsnbenent
IN any '0ay Of The Repubiie Of Mer'eo"
We res, here We could wisk to quote the late
resolutions Of the Wings Of VERMONT, protesting
against any orcible acquisition Of territory as at
war with Republican principle, but space fails
II that large proportion of the Wing party who pro-
test against and will resist any farther prosecution
Of offensive warfare in Mexico, except for distinct
ly specified and justifabe purposes, are to be de-
nounced and derded as lunatic or weakly fanatica
let it be done openly, bat we decidedly object to
their being logged over the shoulders of The Tr
bune.

crowded out by Mr. CLAWS Resolutions and the sketch Of
his Speech, Nferward received Whether views
