UNTEERS.
We take the following good toasts from the
reported proceedings of meeting, held in
honor and for the reception Of the returned
Volunteers, as published in the Statesman.
They are too good to pass unnotlced, and we
desire some ofthe Wings to see them, particu-
lary the one given by volunteer. Those
who went to the field and fought in defence
OF the long cherished rights handed down from
our revolutionary fathers, can see as well as
some of the Wings who are now great friends
to them, just upon the eve of an important
election. These same Wings were cursinp
the volunteers on every hand, when they like
patriots were fighting the battles of our coun-
try. These things will be remembered BY our
volunteers, and when they come to vote thew
will vote for those who stood up in their de-
fence.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS!

Capt McDugal, Of Indianapolis, says the
Louisville Democrat, informed us that nine
Wing Captains repudiated Whiggery, and are
out for Cass and Butler. What do the Wings
think of the war about these times? That
same old Coon party will soon begin to CON-
PLAIN again about the 'unholy and damnable
war the Democrats are carrying on. The
same paper says, that out of twenty. six lieu
tenants, only one is for Taylor, and he is
wavering. What will become of the party
without principles Capt. McDugal went to
Mexico Wing, but finding the leaders of his
party opposed to his country, he will no longer
go with them. He says that documents is
sued in this country, vindicating the Mexican
cause were to be found everywh here in that
country. The Tories here labored hard TO
establish reputation among the Mexicans;
and while they were doing SO they were re
ducing themselves in the eyes of our own
patriotic citizens.

negroes says,
Morgan is again out upon Negroolopy.
