The arstocracy of the land combining for the dis

views, Tor their public opinion, and these men are
wealthy or IN high stations; hence II was supposed that
their views upon the Mexican would bear down the
government OF the people These men, as have said.
are "esny or have standing and are IN snug places
hence heir wish Tor calm repose regardless of national
honor allude to Albert Galatin who owns a large
probation. What shall say OF Joel r. Ponsett, a
man OF wealth, who has retired in dissatisfaction from
pubic lie and last, though not least, Judge Mclean of
the Supreme Court, who says in public letter. the war

shutional-and calls upon Congress- declaring they have
Inc power to end II and IN the political letter calls
upon MS Tod to these his asseveratonsths, CHRIS

scendent powers, and destroy our beres and further
says; IN substance, national bank is preferable. He
would also 10 direct (anoher and anxious plan Of
the ansocracy) to bring the people in within their
grasp
write with pain of Judge Mclean, for whose moral
Supreme Court OF land to have abstaned from party
puohGations, particularly from pronouncing any act of
the President unconstitutional What Judge of the
Supreme Court to pronounce the act OF the highest officer
OF our government unconstitutional! Is it not alarming
that man in his station should write political letter
and call upon Congress TO find bill OF impeachment
against the head OF the nation
The Judge further the territory beyond the Nueces
is disputed one; but it true that Santa Anna and
his Mexican Congress declared that peace should be
made I'LL we abandoned all of Ieras? and this when Eng
land France, and the United States had ack ged
her independence agreeaby to her constitutions up TO the
Rio Grande and we had made her one of our States!
Admitting his statement, not right to occupy
line, in advance of what Mexico intended doing for de-
fence, that might command all circumstances as
to the issue OF the war; till had peace for inde-
ny Tor the past ansgressOns upon merchants and
security for The fture2 All this, in his zeal has Judge
Mclean overlooked FOR NOMINATION FOR THE pREsI-
DENCY and hls want OF frmness. The Judge says the
last war with England MOLLY sustained by The people
Is that truei There is not of common sense Who
believes this declaration. Look at New England then;
their voice was, 1t is unbecOmng moral and religious
people TO continue aid the successful strife-even
down to the Connecticut Hartford iratoous convention
have said New England But let me do justice-for
them as now, there democrats and some true
hearted iederalists who raised their arm and opened
their purse to sustain their country | call upon the
people, 1t be too late, have vivid eve upon all
close corporations, who may any way press down,
and ultimately, as with iron hand uprOot the very
foundation of our blessed national constitution
We are now at war; and accused be the man who
would not rear his and carry country through to
prosperous end, lay his body down in the last ditch
covered by the banner of his country for winding sheet
and there lie honorei for dying defence of all that is
worth living for. II matters not how the war was be-
gun-a truehearted freeman only looks to the end.
