In the last number Of the True Demo.
Graf, discover an article on the return of
the Michigan Volunteers, in which the
pathos of the editor, is expressed against
the late war with Mexico, in all the fervor
of his highly poetic temperament. That
war, however just and necessary, as a
measure of final resort, is in ITSELF great
national calamity, I suppose is readily
conceded by all; and that il necessarily

PRINcIPLEs.-The democratic party is
always ready to meet their opponents in a
contest about principles. Is this the case
with the wing party! Let their present
position answer. They are resorting to
every species of humbuggery, in order to
conceal their real principles and deceive
the people. The wings, however, are at.
tached to their principles, but their une-
quail and oppressive nature renders them
unpopular among freemen-hence the
endeavor to keep them from view. Let
every man who votes for wing, recollect
that he votes in favor ola high tariff-for
a national Sank-the distribution of the
proceeds of the public lands, and for the
bankrupt law of 1912.

THE TRUE DEMoCRAT.-H.N N. Marsh,
who sometime ago was an occasional cor.
respondent of the Citizen, has taken the
editorial charge of the Joliet True Demo
crat. The True Democrat represents The
in progress stamp of whiggery. Mr. Marsh
has been understood to be sentimentaIly
Anti-Slavery, but as he has defined his
position strongly in favor of Henry Clay,
we presume he does not claim to be any
more than sentimentally opposed TO sla-
very. No one can presume to saythat he
votes as he talks, while he votes for slave
holders and talks for liberty Western

o. The "True Democrat" did not see
fit to notice the visit Of General Shields to
this place last week, for reasons which,
perhaps, are satisfactory TO itself. We
cannot say that we are surprised at this
contempt, by the editor of that paper. for
one of the bravest, and one of the most
distinguished General that fought on the
fields Of Mexico, when we take into con
sideration that this same individual, who
now fourishes as editor of the "True
Democrat" attempted to get the cannon
from some Of the citizens of this place,
who were firing it over the taking of
Vera Cruz and the castle of San Juan de
Uloa, by Gen. SCOTS army, in order to
prevent them from celebrating the victory.
This editor, in connection with one or two
others were opposed to rejoicing over the
success of our countrymen, while engaged
in the war, which was denominated sun.
constitutional, unholy and unjust" Hence,
they, forthwith, as soon as the firing com.
menced, went and claimed to hold large
stock in the cannon, but could not secure
it until next morning, when it was gath.
cred up by these men glowing with patri.
otiSnp, and secured, so that its peals sho'd
not announce another victory. When
such feelings as the above are manifested,
it is not to be wondered at, that mana
citizen of our state-who had poured out
his blood in defence Of his country, should
be treated with Indifference. But 20 cap

The cause in this instance, is obvious to
every close Observer. We shall endeav-
