THE LATE oEo. 6. 0R0meoOI E.

| Not only in Virginia. bal throughout our whole country, the solemn tidings of the death cthis ds nnguished statesman. have been received with the deepest regret The New Yofk GlObe pays the Eol. lowing well-merited tribute to the memory of this brilliant light whose name will ever stand enrolled with@the first of yirginIa's sons:
 The late Gen. Drom2aole!--ln the death of this distinguished Representative in Con- gress, there has gone out, forever, one of the most brilliant lights of Republican Virginia; and the great and liberal party of progress, and benevolent movement Las lost one if not first among its arden. and jealous supporters and advocates If General Dromgoole had faults--if he was not always just t0 himself. and was his own greatest enemy--we can not at such time bring them up for review or remark, further than to express the hone. that they may serve as warning examples to other men of exalted genius and sarpassing abilities: Gen. Dromgoole, besides being oc- casionalIg one of the greatest men itl the House of Representatives, was, in social position, far beyond the possession of a com potency of the worlds wealth His house was ever open; his table ever spread for all corners; his hand and heart ever .sopen as the day to melting charity"
 George c. Dromgoole, the descendant from sn Irish stock, carried within his bosom an Irish heart; citizen and native of Virginia. he was in very truth one of natures noble men, and his hospitality and his beneyolence were of the most enlarged and comprehen- sive character: Dafing long and active career as a public man, in times very fre- quently when the political faith ofthose who were thought 10 be the boldcst and the bra vest was not only bent but broken. General Dromgoole never wayered or vascilla.ed; he was ever firm, sincere, ardent, and man at all times to be relied upon and trusted with the interest and honor of the Democratic party. During the administrations of Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren, General Drom- goole was prop and pillar of the true po- liiical faith. and he continued to uphold the cardinal principles and to promote the salu- Iary measures of the present able aud ortho- dox Administrations When such man is called away from his enlarged sphere of use- ful and honorable labor, noi only the party to which in life he was attached, butthe peo- pie arc called upon to mourn. Such men are not so plentiful iha, one can be spared with out a prevailing sentiment of profound sor- row. Virginia and the Union may both re- gret the death of ouc of the most able and practical legislators that ever rendered yalu- able service to either.

Does Heaven assist the ambitious na- ton which wages an ''wnjust, scicked, and abominabie srar cf Aggression" upon it's in- nocent neighbour Let whig teachers of re- ligion give lesson to whig politicians upon the subject. How would they have regard ed universal defeat, IIow--but as the iudg- ment of Heaven' How, then, ought they to regard universal success-victory following victory, as one shout follows another, before l the echo has ceased 3t
 The hypocricy of the whig leaders about this war is palpabe and disgusting.
 It Is suHnecessary, uRconSl ifttiioaai, unjust, abominable, and ricked,' the cry. But they have no hesitation in sending their sons to share in its dangers and it's honors.
 l Henry Clay lost son at Buena Vista; and the bereaved father said, in Late letter, that he died such death as, If he must lose him, i hc rould prefer 10 all oihcrs-a death on the battlefield in the service of hts country; in i whig phrase, death in prosecuting ''aH un- necesSary, unconstitutional, uajuSi, uicked, i and dbcmindbie tcar ,o not from constrant, but as d roiunieeTi [
 Daniel Webster, also, has son among the i volunteers in this sunnecessary, unconstit,I- tiOnal, unjust, abominable, and wicked war" If the positions of the father be true, e"ery Mexican khled in this war is murdered man; and every rofUnteer in the war is a murderer And here is politician who at home de- uounces the, war as unnecessary, unjRsf, and murderous, and sends outh sou to pariici- pate in the murders.
 i My son." meihinks hear him say at par ting, s'you have volunteered to serve your country in the battles strife, and trust you will nobly uphold its honor and its flag. But do not forget, that the war in which you have voluntarily engaged, was brought on by the President in violation of the constitution, without just cause or honorable obiuct Do your best, my son, to gain glory by Killing or disabling erery innocent .McricGR tcho, in defence of hiS otcn icroaged and outraged country, may hro,c himself in your paih and as you eleave his skull with yourglittcr- ing sabre. remember thai he IS martyred patriot, and that gnis df5 lis fsssst!iereS While 1 you are gaming glory and honor by becom- ing the voluntary murderer Of the unofien- ding Mexicans in their fields and iortresses, in their streets and in thelr houses, will take care 10 cast all the reproach on the Pres i ident of the United States, and hold hin alone as responsible for all your murders: Ours shall be the glory bw hs the crime! !''
 | Is not this the morality and policy of the leading whigs' And portion of them who have been moss yociferous agsins, the wick ed and mnrderous war, are now looking to the head murdercrs in this war for their next !
