The War and Whis Editors.

Its remarkable that the Express can never,
even by accident state an opponents position iair
iy. Recurring again to our statement OF the facts
that the Wing party Of Michigan has just broken
down in an important State Election, while the
Editor Of their leading organ was an aspirant for
Military command in Mexico. it says;
As LONG as the sons Of eminent whs Statesmen are
permitted BY The Tribune TO volunteer Tor me why
ssr And rit,sndsn are volunteers. and the life the
krstnaned was gwen up a. Buena Vista Webeheve that
Ex-Governor Seward, too, has son in the army what
does Editor think OF that.
Here it 10 broadly assumed that we have object
cd to Wing Editor volunteering for the Mexican
War, when We have done nothing Of the kind
We rather wish all those who talk in gassy Ad.
dresses and Editorials of rallying for the defence
Of our flag wherever it may be planted" would
Just do IL, and not be content with merely taking

their rem aiming here and holding such q course as
10 likely to forward their aspirations for commits
sons from Mr. Polk or from Loco-Foco Governors
Had Col Williams gone to Mexico when he first
thought Of it, leaving his paper in the hands of some
capable successor who truly reflected the Whig
sentment of Michigan we confidently believe the
result Of her recent Election would have been diff.

But the Buffalo Commercial mixes in to this
melee with impu,ations upon Of arrogant pre-.

as its good nssured Editor is accustomed to besiow
on as. asserting that
Michigan is universally known and Acknowledged to
be Of the mos, hoPcessy LocoFoco States in the
Union"
No, Sir re don't know anything Of the sort,
90 the knowledge you speak Of is not universal.

Wings on fair fight in 1889, and again in ls4o
