The truth will prevail at last, in spite
of all attempts of partizans. The whip
press and wing orators have been for two
years pouring out their REASONABLE exc
crations against the conduct of their own
government. The great point and the on
ly one they bad to insist upon was, that
the territory between the Neuces and the
Rio Grande belonged to Mexico that she
had always had possession of il, and that
the President in ordering the army to the
Rio Bravo, invaded Mexico, made the war
himself, broke the constitution, and did a
most atrocious act in general. The wing
roth and gas on this single point has cost
this government vast amounts, even for
the time of manufacturing and delivering
them. After all the expenditure of false.
hood and filth on this point, here al last is
the plain truth acknowledged by Mexico
herself. She virtually says to poor whig-
cry: "Nomore of your lies about it thew
are no longer of any use-we had as well
confess the truth, and lie done with it,"

Poor whigery is here cut off al the knees
and left to bear its own shame alone.
