The Arkansas banner., 1847-05-05

The Mexlenn press and the Arkansas Gazette.
 Little did we imagine, when copying into the Banner of last week, a paragraph from Mexican newspaper, that we were calling down upon our self the maedictions of the editor of the Ga2eite. But II seems that, Hnconsciously, we have unccrk- ed one Of the biiterest vias of his editorial wrath; aud his indignation IS aroused to pitch of solemn, rhetorical gravity which gentlemen of the press sometimes assnme--doubtess. 10 show their read CTS that besides ertae, they have also talent fer little eeltlg yea, to give point and grace to his dsnuRciation, he even iudulges the public with stahza of that well ihnmbed poetry. which pre- same is always ready ''cu and dry for editorial emergencies, And what we ask was the nature of this Mexican paragraph which has so outraged the partixan sensibilry of the editor oI the Gazette! If was an appeal made by Mexican editor 10 his countrymen. urging them to continue and uphold the war with the United States, and stating as in- ducement thereto that he greater part of the peo pie of this eountry were opposed to the war. and that the sympaihics of one 'entige party were on the side Of Mexico. It Is not necessary now 10 in qnire if these be legitimate nferences from the conduct of the opponents of the war
 But does the editor of the Gazette suppose that the democratic press has noright publish to the coun fry the consequences of he blind party opposition which has been made to the not only in Congress but by d large portion of the Whis press, Has the Banner, a democratic paper, and supporter of the administration, right to speak of the impression made upon the "Mexicau mind' by this opposi- tion, aEd of the delay and embarrassment it inter poses to negotiations for speedy and honorable peacc..
 But the Mexican writer chose to use the words centre party and these the mighty "head and front O. our outrage upon the patriotism oi the ed itor of the Gazette. Because of this expresson- and that we published it with manifest delight - the editor infers that charge that all the mem bers of the whig pasty are opposed t" the war, and '.traitors at heart to their own country Here hls indignation assumes its most furious phase, and he appeals to Clay, Hardin Mckee and tie other gal IssE spirits at -.s tsesf Aie.bood. have proved their devotion 10 the cause of their country. We yield 10 no man in respect for the memory of these noble men, and to tire gallant he- TO, democrat or whig, who has sacrificed his lie on the field of battle in defence of his country, we trust we are incapable of doing injustice But how often, with hollow pretensions of patriotic pride, will the manes of the iIlastrious dead be invoked for mere party ends'
 This faaignaat rsbuke from the editor of the Gag cite becomes absolutely ridiculous when it is re- membered that, in the same number ot his paper he publishes with "manilest delight" what he desig- mates catm statement of the truth in which the President of the United States is denounced as the ally hs feilop counsellor tAs friend, and prose4 for Of hs traitor Santa .4naa," all very proper terms, in his estimation, when applied to demo eTai.
 We are at a loss to account for thi. captious and imperious tone of the Editor-ths command 10 the democratic press not to speak of the political conduct of the iama ouate whig party. Is il because he has recently lesped npon the back of the gallant Rough and Ready" and Is riding riot in the giddy satiei paiioa of the accomplished goal But strange acei- dents sometimes happen on the political course and the public need not be surprised to the Editor of the Gazette before the close of the Presidential race, slide out of the saddle of the noble old war horse, and re mount oua of his old political hacks
