This war is daily developing new features that
make the Republican despair and the Philanthro
pist shudder.
Mr. CKrrESpIS today proposed, instead oil
passing bill for Ten Regiments to put 10000
Volunteers at the disposal Of the President ms
would not answer the advocates Of Pesce. Loco
Foooism wants to purchase votes, and the Pre'i
dent understands the power which the ofices 10
ten new regiments gives him. Last year ne
bouebt M Democrats" enough 10 vote down the
Wilrnot proyiso with the last Ten Regiments bill
Now he wants more votes, and he goes for ten reg
,uosnts more. No wonder that Mr.. CALHous to-
dav declared that Executive patronage was now
90 large that it was actually overawing the delb-
crate judgment of both Houses. Every avenue Is
crowded with applicants Corruption and fraud,
Ia the ighest places. are open and unrebuked-
Political Morality and National Justice are hooted
down and laughed TO scorn, and the whiskers on
the faces Of hundreds Of incpent refuent heroes
for and from Mexico, are ready TO bristle with
curses il you dare TO refuse the fearful calls which
the President is making for Executive power, by
which TO reward his savish and obsequious fol-
lowers
This is frightful enough picture: but Just look
at the kind Of Democracy we have now Gen CAss
declares himself, TO day, ia favor Of the employ
ment Of Regulars over Volunteers, because he says
the Regulars are mere portioas Of rast machine,
~hose principal right IS the righ Of obedience Hear
that We soldiers who are now to fight JAMES X.
PoLKs wars, Enlist in one Of these ten regiments
and Mr.. CAss will mark you as parts Of machinery
and he will try To secure TO you the right OF obed
ence That 10, you must study the will Of one man
and make it your own And yet you must believe
this to be Democracy. What glory will you get
for YOUR valiant deeds7 As much as the different
parts Of machinery get for prsctcing the right of
obedience" when water or steam propels. This
il baptized in blood and christened Democratic
Doctrine There Is not poor man with soul
above the feelings Of machinery, who does not
spurn and scorn such Democracy and It's authors
and advocates.
But this was not the worst Mr. JEFrERsos
DAVIS of Mississippi, believe claims to be a
Democrat He came out today and declared that
we must go for Regulars. Volunteers were gen
orally of the high class the materials were loo
high for camp duty The iower orders Of society
are cheaper, and can be put under better disci-
pine Thus it seems that JEFFERSON DAVIS
thinks there are two orders-the higher classes
to mouopolixe the glory-the lower grades Of socie
ty, the honest mechanics or aborers, who are good
enough to do the drudgery even to the degradation
Of having this Democratic aristocracy wipe its
boots upon them. Why, what better is this JEF-
vERsoN DAVIS, Jefferson y and shall sey nothing
against him, than any one Of the "lower grades I"
What has he done more than the common soldier
that no should thus spit upon the poor man. Many
4 poor man was ensnared into enlisting in the
ranks for patriotism, and went to Mexico. His
bones are now rottins beneath the mud Of the Rio
Grsnde, a. thoroughly buried from view as his
name is from remembrance. JEFFLRsos DAVIS
did not enlist as soldier, but got aristocratic
appointment. az Colonel believe. He went to
Mexico, where he got into fight, and where, be.
hsve no behaved bravely,-but not more bravely
than thousands Of these lower grades" whose
hearts were a. large and warm whose lives
were a sweet, whose friends wero as dear
% those of JEFFERSON DAVIS could be. Now,
therefore all ye "senseless' portions Of ma
chnery who compose the lower grades" of soci.

bat that the lower grades, the cogs of ma

fit for such things, under Democracy Iwould
not willingly offend Mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS, but
such false Democracy 50 abhorrent
to everything Jsiyersonian, l will denounce, come
it whence and how ii may. Oh. Democracy is
this thy true picture, which thy false worshpers
hold out to the peoplel
Now the whole secret Of this call for regulars 10
that Presidential Election 10 approaching In
almost every town we have recruiting officers
bat Loco Foooism wants six hundred agents more
throughout the country. Pass this Ten Regiments
bill and it gives MIR. Polk and his party power to
appropriate five hundred tools Of party to go out
with swords and epaule,tss, under the appearance
Of recruiting os the army, but in reality recruitng
for the party. Why in the name OF Democracy
and Truth does any WIG soil his tongue by say
ing word for such a messurei
The two bills reported by Mr. CAss will raise
our army 10 between 30 and 100000 men. The
War Department has already declared that 70 900
could conquer al Of Mexico. Gen. TAYLOR hcesed
Santa Anna tPolks apponteel the President OF the
Republic. and 20 or $4,000 of the best troops Mex
leo ever did or ever can raise, with 5000 VoLUs.
TIERS What in the name Of common sense do
We now want Of 100000 meni Our force now in
the Acid. when filed up As they have the power
10 DO, numbers twelve times the amount OF the army
with which Gen. TAILOR in reality broke the
heart Of Nexicol
Not one Of these now recruiting officers will be
in service before the Presidential Election. Gen.
Cas- talked about wanting great moral effect
What 10 wanted 10 q great Loco Foco effect to
crush the liberties Of the people That is not
moral.
Both Mr. CAS- and Mr.. DAVIS, today, said they
wanted more troops to conquer Oaeretaro, &c
Mr.. CAss commended that it took more to hold than
70 conquer place. Now where will this end =
