achievements of the Mexican war, and en-
deavoring to make the public believe that
they Won the glory. while the facts are star
ing them in the face that their leaders re-
fused to vote supplies, and offered up pray
ers that the Mexcans might meet them
with "bloody hands" There first desire
was to starye the American soldiers; their
next was that the Mexicans might butcher
them, as Corwin prayed for. This heartess
prayer was met with universal indignation
by the whole Democratic party. The advo-
Gates for starving the American soldiers, and
the whig Senators who desired ruthless
foe should be permitted 10 wash their hands
in the blood Of American citizens, are now
endeavoring to male capital for their party
out of the tact that their candidate went to
Mexico but, at the same time, under the
fearful apprehension that they would receive
a severe ''ire in the rear" He, very for
tunately, escaped and had the prudence to
to keep both his front and rear outof harms
way, and he came home safe, while thouS-
ands of his fellow countrymen braved the
fire Of the enemy, and won the victo-
ries that the Star0atton party are attempting
TO turn to the account of a man who was
never in battle at Mexico.

ever feel, and never dreaded a fire in the
ear."--PAs. Post.
