The Journal and ,he WAR.

! They have got ner hand at the Journal Jellors
This is evident from the extraordinary amount OF
wind in its columns Of late. The ploddng ouetude
OF the principal editor is succeeded by the wordy eb-
ullitions of more garrulous, but grecner genius
and if there be no fact or argument, there is now
soPhistry enough in the political paragraphs of the
Journal TO satiate the most ravenous sefstultifying
wbig that be found within the limits of this ia
city of diagonals. Instance the following,
which appeared in the tr-weekly Journal Of the 18TH
and which for day or two overlooked:
"OSTDoes the Sentinel suppose it can make any
man believe that Mr.. COrpin roled 10 bring on this
rery uar" as is charged in that paper of the 10Th
inst! Every man knows that the war was brought
on by Mr. Polk, when he ordered our army to invade
Mexico. True, when that army had been thus order
ed into the enemy's country and was surrounded by
eminent danger of being overwhelmed by superior
force, Mr.: CoRwIN voted immediate relief That is
different question from the prosecution of war for
conques. which is the avowed object OF the org-
majors of the present war;
AT the commencement, one would suppose that the
writer intended to dispute the correctness of our
statement, that Corwin voted year ago for the war
which he now traitorously condemns. The tone as
sumed shows that it this writer's design to con-
vey TO the minds of his readers such an impression
But second thought TO have satisfied him that
broad denial would answer, Corwin's vote being
a fact of record He therefore reluctantly admits the
vote of Corwin but endeavors destroy the force Of
the important inference to be drawn against that SEN
ator's consistency and honesty, by adopting as his
own, the miserable pretext given by Corwin HIMSELF
after his Mexican speech was made, and had been
condemned by many patriotic wings, to-wt: that has

to Mr. Corwin for thus giving them the means of de-
Tending their untenable and unpalriotic, well
inconsistent course; and how praiseworthy in the
Journal to aid in the dissemination of the brilliant
idea and endeavor to facilitate Its home consump-
tion, by giving 1t all the weight of It's editorial
adoption and authority What rote to raise an ar
my Of fifty thousand men, and TO appropriate ten mil
lions Of dollars, for the purpose only of succoring
Gen. Taylor, and helping him to fog few Mexicans

perfect futty and absurdity of this wretched after
thought! Why the pretext is utterly and self
evidently absurd, that il is worthy only of contempt
and dersion except in far it exposes the weak
ness of Federal leader, and his aiders and abetors
in their attempts TO justify themselves in deserving the
standard of their country and giving - aid and
