gentleman, writing to his friend in this city saws


g think it likely from present appearances, that the
wings will withhold the neelfui appropriations for bring
ing the war TO honorable termination. Should this
be the case, hope the democrats will call meeting at
Washington of all who disposed to the country
from the disgrace which such will entail upon
it; and appoint committee to appeal to the people
large for voluntary subscriptions to sustain the war;
i'll Mexico comes to terms that we accept without
disgrace. Let them receive the subscriptions that may
be RENTED to them, and record the of the subsc
bers the amounts subscribed and their political eneis,
(whg or democrat.) and turn the amount 10 the
government Let this record stand lasting memorial
of the points of difference between the parties Of the day
hope that another committee will be appointed to pub
lish, pamphlet FORM the of all the distinguished
in Congress and in the several States who have op
posed this with brief statement of the grounds and
mode OF their opposition If they are right let poserity
award to them the honor that is due to them.
GAS for myself, am willing to subscribe five times a.
much to support the war would be claimed OF me by
any system of taxation that Congress would adopt and
am ready TO do this every year that the may con-
tnue, until Mexico offers terms OF peace that we can
accept without dshonor As to having gallant army
starved out in Mexico by those who hold the purse
strings of the nation. cannot believe that the people of
this country will permit it to be done, while they have
dollar and above what is necessary the support OF
their families"
