SENATOR GOWNS ISSUE.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Ohio Statesman, speaking of the morti6ca-
tion ofthe Wing leaders at the result OF the
Nav Hamshire election. says:
"To give you an idea Of tho extent and
desperation Of their late operations, | will
merely mention thar a million copies o.
Corwin's speech in behalf Of Mexico have
been already ranked from this city to al
quarters Of the country since the day Of ad
journment, the fourth instant. To be sure
they now wish every identical copy of thai
conglomeration Of moral treachery at the
bottom of the sea, but alas for their hopes
it is loo late. Whigery has gono forth il
that guise, and they mnst abide by the con
sequences"
We hope goodly portion Of these have
been sent into Ohio;-for they will assured
do as good service here as they did in Ne
Hampshire. Few speeches have produce
snch sensation ;--none has ever been
almost universally condemned
BY the by, in relation to this same speec
Of eur Senator, we are forcbly struck wit
the great similarity between one Gifts past
ages, and recent editorial in the New Yor
Tribune. Thus the latter discourses:
There is bat one true victory in war iik
that we are now engaged ina victory owe
our own rapacily and lust Of dominion
Could we but achieve this victory--could ",
resolve to recall our armies liberate the sub
jugated People of New Mexico, Tamaulipas

indemnity for the spoilatiops Of our citizen
not yet satisfied, and we would then secure
far more honorable and advantageous Peac'
than can ever be conquered, although WI
we're to conquer all Mexico in the process.
II has been more thin intmated that th|
Ohio Senator was indebted for many of h
ideas, it net much Of his language, to the od
tor of the Tribune. Either this is so, iudg
ing from the evidence before US, and other
the same character, tina, have fallen unde
own observation, or tho Presidential aspiran
has stamped his Impress upon his official or
gan with remarkable fidelity. We incline I,
10 the former opinion;--for the simple rea
son that HORACE GREELY is not a copyist 0
Of any one. and we esteem him, with all hi
eecentricities, as by far the ADLER man of til,
