The Wnr-Corwinism-HOn Mr.. Sawycr-FcderaiAsm
The present condition of country in relation to
Mexico is well calculated TO produce but one Iee ana
one purpose throughout the length and Dreadth OF te
land and accordingly find that from the Atlantic 10
the Pacihc--from the extremity OF Maine to the Halls OF
the MonteZunas-there is but and mai voice is
for war until the enemy shall be subugaed and he shall
suppanuy ask Tor peace IL is not war tor glory-tl is
not war Tor conquest-- is not for aggrandse-
ment-lt is not war for the acquisition of terrtoy-t is
MOI war 10 Obtain the balance OF power-it is no,
war 10 settle the successlOnit is not war Tor reii-
glon-lt is no war for ths king that queenit IS not
war Tor royal MARRIAGE neither is it war Tor re-
yenge-om 1t IS acar for JUSTICE and HUMANITY!
This Is the opinion of the great of the American
people, and IN the present crisis they expect that the ad-
mlnsraion will carry il vigorously, perseverngy,
and declslvely until peace shall have been secured
which, IN ITS provisions, will obtain indemnity Tor the
past ana positive security for the future The Coraon
party have denounced this war, and the unworthy repre-
sentative IRON Ohio has acted out the principles OF the
federal party until the Mexcans beeve(and they have
been deluded into this belief by Corwin and his asso-
catesthat strong force exists in this country in their
favor, The T" aid and comfort" which they have given
TO me enemy have made hundreds OF American WIDOWS
ana thousands OF American orphans The =" and and
comfort OF the Corotnites have made American hearths
desolae, and spread the pail OF death in the homes OF
American citizens q The aid and comfort" OF these
moral traitors have protracted the war, caused many
battle, shed American blood and filled the battleheds
OF Mexico with American groans, signs, and death!
Federalism ana C01ohsm are one and the same-marked
by the same features characterized by the same prn
cples and animated by the same sentiments. Well did
me foh MT sawyer describe ms party IN te rouse OF
Representatives, in his place last December He said:
Federast Yes, sir ederast is the word. In spite of
all the stratagens shtngs and ingues of that parry
N the face OF all its tWngs urning and changes, it
treason itself the and the creed of party under
whose sable flag the enemies of freedom everywhere raj
lied to down the first and second of liberty and
who now mingng their sad and melancholy walngs
poor disconsoae eneebled and oppressed Mexico
Federalst that od, time honored party sir, at could
look on the crumblng ruins of revolutionary fires with
smie-whch could weep tears of sympathy for the mis-
fortunes OF our oppressorhat faithful devoted band of
worthless who stood firm in Englands cause-those who
adopted that and title sir, which, amid the cangor of
and the struggles of battle SO lovingly Rugged to
the bosoms of monachists has its
original beauties projections by time. No. sir federal
st them is federast The same leopard spots that
marked him then, cling him still Dodgei as they may
name, by the way which they stole from the very party
they sought to ovehrow,) the word ederalst will hang
assumed they have proved themselves unworthy
Yes sir federaist is the word and the only word betng
the principles Of the British party in this country Let
Let the public press Chat palladium OF liberty give
renewed denncation through ou this land and let
be careful hereafter, and that petition for forgive
past political sins and niqutes be for single
entertained by the democratic family of the nation,
except such as shall come completely wrapped in ackcoth
and ashes
The federaiss may rejoice in the hearts which they
made to bleed by the protracton of this They
may grin sardonically, and entertain themselves saan
cay at the mischief which they have done; but their
pie will forget, that admitting the Execu
tive had made this war, it the federdliStS qphO haze
continued it, and they have said would be cheap at
hundred and fifty millions, if it would bring back high
tariff to sustain them in their pride and denominations!
ask my fellow citizens to ponder this matter, and
never forget, and let be taught to children, that
many of the leaders OF the federal party were moral
traitors" in the with. Great Britain in 1912, and
" moral traitors" in the war with Mexico!
