R We see the Federal leaders are about call
ing meetings in several localities, on the 18th in
slant, to celebrate the "glorous battles of North
Point and Cherubusco:" " We should like to know
what these battles have to do with the question OF
the Presidency. Will these celebrations Of these
" glorious battles" have any agency in quieting
the Slavery agitations Will they make Seward a
better mans Will they enable Southern men to
reclaim their escaped slaves with more ease and less
danger to their persons and lives than heretofore!
But, we are told, these celebrations are intend
ed to show the gratitude of the Wing party to
Gen. Scott Indeed-but where is Mr.. Fillmore
Is there no gratitude due him for standing up for
the fugitive lave law and the Constitution OF the
country? And Mr. Webster-is there nothing
ssoao to admire in the moral courage he displayed
in his 7th of March Speech?
And what were these same Federal leaders do
ing at the very time Gen. Scott was fighting the
battle of Cherubuscos Giving aid and comfort to
the enemy by opposing the war, and endorsing
Tom Corwin in his savage advice to the Mexicans
