The Wings, and the War Bill and its
Preamble.

The wings claim that their representatives In Con-
gress voted in body against the preamble Of the
war bill as separate proposition, declaring that 'war
existed by the act of Mexico" because that decaa-
ton falsehood. They claim further, that when
it was found impossible to strike out the preamble
the same whigs-all but fourteen of them in one
house. and tcO in the oher-vOted for the bill, false
preamble and all, rather than record their names
against the bill. This, Mr. Clay says, "no earthly
consideration could ever have tempted OF provoked
him 10 do, because of the palpabLe tasehoOd stamped
upon the face of the bill in its preamble
Now, what was the bill, to save which, and to vote
for which, the wings consented to vote this palpdbse
talsehood!" 1t bill to wage a war ar invasion
upon Mexico 1t was war bill placing at the dlspo-
sal OF the President the whole army and navy Ut the
United States, and fifty thousand volunteer soldiers
besides, together with ten millions Of dollars, "to
prosecute the with Mexco a speedy and sue
ceSsim termination" In voting this bill, with or
without the preamble, the wings voted the invasion
of Mexico with great force. Nay. more; they ac-
tualy voted what they themselves call "a Papab'e
tdLsehoOd" FOR THE SAKE OF voting such an invasion
of Mexico. There is pretence in any quarter that
anybody erer thought 50 many men and SO much mon-
ey neediul merely TO protect Gen. Taylor from The
Mexican army mustered on the Rio Grande that
the force voted for any such sole purpose. But
this is not left to conjecture. or inference, however
certain for in about week after the vote given
intelligence came of the victories Of Palo Alto and
Resaca de la Palma, showing that Gen. Taylor was
safe. And what then Not finger did the wings
lift to stop him the Rio Grande, stay his inua
sion Of Merico with the large force they had voted
him, just it could be mustered into service
For months he was on the Rio Grande. organizing
Ind pressing .orward his preparations TO invade Mex
leo; and during those months not only did the wings
make no movement in Congress TO forbid him to pro
ceed but their journals were loud in charging the
delay as a fault and blunder upon the administra
ton!
Now in this state OF facts what do the wings gait

much the worse for them, every way; first, because
they voted it while declaring it to be false; and Sc
