OUR PRONUNCIAMENTO

1t is, certainly, 4 great matter for the Mexi.
can nation that they have few friends in this
country TO aid them; and if they are not over
wheImed with sense of their obligations 10
Tom Corwin, Horace Greeley, John p Hale,
and the Devil, they are the most ungrateful
set of rascals that ever bestrode mules, or smo.
ked cigaritos. And 10 none of The worthy
company whose names we have just enumera4
ted, are they under greater obligations than to
that eminent lover OF bran bread and black fa-
ces. Horace Greeley. He really follows out
their style in his leaders-gives us a touch of
God and Liberty" and issues his pronuReia-
mento with all the dignity of Bustamente or
Luis Alaman. Mr.. Polk has been accused of
aiding and comforting the enemy by his pass
TO Santa Anna; and from the fact that he did
not pass Horace Greeley at the same time, we
are pretty well satisfied that Mr.. Folks de-
signs were reasonable. For Horace goes TO
work, like muskeete AT an elephant, and de-
nounces the whole war, not only as bad
war, but as the worst that ever did exist, and
little bit worse than ever could exist. For.
inquiries he. very decidedly, and with the air
o! man who knows you cannot say him nav:
" Was there ever before war so STEPPED in
hypocrisy and viIlainy as this ?"
Of course, there never was-never. In our
wlckedness, every nation that ever went 10
cutting its neighhor's threats, from the time of
Nlmrod down. We have followed CtumweI's
plan in lreland-and have put to death by the
sword, thousands of women and children, af-
ter they had surrendered At Vera Cruz, we
initiated Marshal Bugeaud, and roasted four
thousand prisoners in great cave situated
somewhere Whereabouts. At Cerro Gordo, we
put several captive Generals inside of barrels,
lined with sharp spikes, and after the manner
OF the Carthagenans, rolled them down the
HILL AT Mexico, we improved on the English
/ treatment OF the Sikhs, and gave the vanquish-
ed foe no choice between death by drowning
or the bayonet. Besides that, we accented
the offers made us by the Indian tribes at the
beginning OF the contest, and after the manner
OF Great Britain, poured upon the Mexicans a
host of savages, giving their women and chill
dren to the temahawk and scalping knife
Not content with hanging our deserters, we
tried the Infamous English plan ana foggei
them to alphabetically cutting them to pieces
more-proving conclusively that there never
was before war so stepped in vilany, and
never will be again.
Under these circumstances, we concur with
| Horace Greeley, in saying
But let us depose our Santl Annas and
Almontes, and all will be sp; edi adjusted"
! We are ready 10 join Horace ia his pronun-
ciamento, at once. So the administration had
better take care of itself. Almonte Marcy
will have 10 protect his rear from Don Hora-

most speedily arrest it. They voted the dec

ted the supplies TO carry it on ; they, at the
ensuing session, again voted the supplies, and
now they are here with majority, which can
at any moment arrest the war. Why do they
not arrest it, by declaring al once their deter

of some OF them be true, they were placed
here by a majority Of the people for this very

do not wish, TO stop this war. A peace, If
effected TO morrow, would be to them very far

as the grand instrument of their success at the
