The gallant Major Simenson-Vsho belonged to Gen
Perser F Smiths celebrated Rifle Regiment-that
acted distinguished part in the triumphal march of
the American army from Vera Cruz the city OF Mex

to plant the stars and stripes upon the Halls of the
Montezumas-ater the capture of the city collected
number of curOsltes, embracing suit Of ancient armor
and some pictures. which he sent home and directed

vote of thanks OF nearly every member of both Houses
OF the Legislature, by the passage of joint resolutions
found upon the books of the State To procras
tnate the time OF the Legislature and give color to
the cry Of extravaganza they intended to make was
agreed, in secret conclave, that David p Holloway

had been pundered from the Mexicans by our brave
soldiers; and when the charge was repeed by Demo.

volunteers their from Mexico, had been sent
to the Penitenary, and consequently would be guilty Of
the outrages complained Of in Holoways infamous
luton. There was other course left for the Demo-
pursue but to meet these ISLANDERS of their
countrymen. and show, by referring to the Infamous
speech of Corwn, and other Wing documents that the
Wings in Congress had embarrassed the administration
Of President Polk by refusing supplies to our brave
army. They had to suffer the Wing leaders to cram
these vile ISLANDERS down their throats or incur the ex
pense of several thousand dollars to repcl them This

This useless discussion cost the State of Indiana at

act Of Holloway but of the leaders of the Wing party

uncaed for movement, alike dsgraceful to the
who offered the resolution, and the party who Kissed
