one which should meet With severer penalty, than
the one in which Riley and his associates con-

We notice the above from the Atlas for the purpose
of showing its inconsistency, and that of the party
of which it s the organ. They have maintained from
the commencement of this war, that the United States
were wrong and Mexico right. The wing party of
New England by Its journals and the speeches of It's
leading men, encourages the latter and does what it
can to parelyse that patriotism on which the former
depends for the maintenance of its rights. The wings
say Mexico IS right, and ought not to sustain
government in an unholy war against her. Capt Ri
ley says Mexico is right and will sustain her, not by
sympathy alone, but by my services and blood.
The wings refuse to fight against Mexico because
she is right Capt. Riley fights for Mexico because
she is right. Capt. Riley may have a stronger at
tachment to prnciple-be may be more willing to sus
tain his opinions by his aciins-but we do not per-
ceive that the moral responsibility is materially diff
ferent Yet Capt Riley and his associates were hung.

to believe that be fighting In defence Of justice,

If Mexico be the injured party. as the wings main

been actuated BY spirit more elevated than that of pa
trotsma spirit which led them to maintain the rights
of the oppressed against the power of the opPressor
The why's say that our troops ought to be withdrawn
from the territory of Mexico; Capt Riley periled
his life for the accomplishment of that object. The
Wings say that the United States ought not 10 take any
territory from Mexico; Capt Riley sacrificed himself
and the men Of his command TO prevent that result.
But if Capt Riley aud bis associates deserved DEATH
