And does the Inellgencer think to rallya party in this

have directed, those who have sanctioned and those
who have shed their blood in fighting on our part this
just war, existing 'by the act of Mexico" have
thereby only covered themselves and their government
with common infamy-as sharers in devilish deed,
compared to which the practices of the Gouger, the

and generous' Alas for the desperate and doomed
predcament of the wing organ, and of those whom
the fury of faction may prompt to sustain it, there
in all this labored manifesto one word nor hint of
any such new additional ground of argument-not
word, but the same old wing slang which has been
again and again refuted and put to shame Not
new fact, not one argument, not one new phrase
