s'The Absorption OF Mexico"

The wing presses attempting to play into the hands
of the wing leaders, by furnishing them with ridiculous
excuse for refusing supplies The National Integencer
of yesterday shows the coven foot when it gives an
article on "The Absorption Of Mexico" and quotes in il
an article from the Charleston Evening News" which
the very face of it, shows spirit hostile to the ad
mnstraon and its friends and falsely declaring that 'the
true involved in the present conduct of the war is
the destruction Of the national independence of Merico
and the people ought to understand We deny
the position altogether The friends OF the administration
mean to carry its measures; and that platform is laid
down in the message which its design of pre-
serving the nationality of Mexico The idea of absorb.
ing her is, indeed, ga painted devil" fit only to fright
"the eye of childhood" 1t cannot impose upon an in
telgen people, and is only brought forth at this time as
miserable screen for the of certain leaders They
will abandon their country in the midst of foreign war;
and then try to rumpup wretched preext for their own
miserable justification.

A great Feat In Les,s,.t,on +,

The Presidents message is at length distributed among

eight days, has required many weeks to accomplish

this great achievement the committees long in
reporting, the House long in acting upon these

noble evidence of the energy and industry Of the wing

Some of the wings resorting 10 the old game of
producing panic, to operate the money market and
"stop the wheels OF the government" This scheme,
too, will fall as well as the advice of a Judge OF

Rio Grnude.

The frequent references in Congress to the Mexican
war; and to what is called the Rio Grande, render it of
importance inquire what this title really be-
longs, without taking into account the African or the
South American Rio Grande
Surprising that the Hon. Mr.. Hudson's resolution,
stating that 'he boundary between the United States
and Mexico shall be established at near the descent
between the Nueces and the Rio Grande," should be
passed by Congress- and receive the appreciation of the
President, it may be conlended that this will give
great portion of Mexico; our troops having, in fact,
not yet reached this river, which flows in a northwestern
direction, and falls into the Pacific at San Bias, and
which constitutes, in fact, the Rio Grande The other

TO the Editor OF the Un,On
Living far away from the capital, you will excuse the
want of information which prompts the following plain
questions:
l. Why is Notwithstanding the present war began
more than eighteen months ago, was sustained in Con
gress by of both parties voting supplies, generally
approved, least openly opposed by citizens and
newspapers of all classes-that within few fortnghts
past, loud, powerful and violent denunciaton of the
causes and commencement of the has arisen, even
while army is yet fighting battles in the heart of the
enemy's country
Why is il that OF the larger politicians of the
Union, who, if not feeling strong desire to sIay MeXi
can" during the earlier progress of the war; least
manned speechless, should now while the still
lists, every art of eoquence, and of misrepe
sentaon, prove to the world in general, and Mexico
in particular, that the country acrOng in the contest
8. Why is it that many of the small politicians and
newspapers have also recently changed ground this
subject
A. Why is it that parsans during last sea-
son. charged the administration with Degecng to REIN
force General SCOTS army, who now Mr. Clayton acting
voting proper supplies, that General Scott, with $4,000
regulars, could whip any army Mexico could raise,
though it rained Mexicans for week"
5. What possible good can be effected by Congress
voting the to be unnecessary and unconstitutional"
at time when every such anti American expression
must serve, by encouraging the enemy, to prevent a
speedy restoration OF peace
g. Are not those who denounce the unjust, un-
necessary, and unconstitutional and some as ddmna-
bic and outrageous, acting either hypocriticay nconss-
teny, when in the same breath they profess admiration
for the vao Of the living and sorrow for the dead of our
gallant army!
T. How can these ideal morasts and 'rose water phi
anhopsts honestly entertain feelings of kindness and
respect for the soldiers who, intelligent and well informed
themselves, volunteered to go to hs war; which, in the
language of Speech ,ohig a7anacked over the Unon
consists in sormng cities, desolang peaceful happy
homes, shooting men-ay, sir, such war-and shooting
women, teo !"
s. Are not the recent virulent attacks on the war
equivalent many assaults arms--assaults on
the fair fame Of the living, and lbels the memory of
the glorious dead
g. Is it possible that the bill for supplies of men and
money for army will be refused, trammeled and
mutated in the House of Representatives under the pre-
text that, if it passes, it may assist wing members
suggest and wing letter-writers assert to defeat their
candidate for the presidency?
TO- Has it, indeed come to ths-that all this sudden
and almost simultaneous change among big and little
place seekersall these assaults the country the war;
the army, the reputation Of the living, and the memory
of the Dead intended to be subservent the
of political party' ANTI-GALLATIN.
