The ttrxicau War.

In referring to the opposition Of the Wing par.
y TO the Mexican war the Republican says:
"But no Whig was over heard to rejoice when
our encralcs insultcd our flag, or when their arms
wore victorious over ours. They regretted the
war, thought II unnecessary, but stood by the dag
OF their country, openly aud above board, ~ " ell
as helping It to be declared victorious upon the
battle fold"
We have no.partculor disposition to rake up
these old scores, but We will be permitted To say
that some Wings, and our neighbor of the Re

Not True.

The Republicans are cndeavorng to impress
the people with the belief that the election OF
either DoueLAs, BREcKiNRiDGE, or BELL would
not have avertcd the present difficulties. They
can give no reason for this belief, there is none
to give The men who urge it either know 1t to
be false, or know net what they say. Many votes
were cast in all the Southern States for each OF
tn sc candidates The South did not threnter
disunion IN the event OF the election of eithei
of hese men. a large majority of the people
begged for the election of one of them, to pre-
serve the Union The men who took the stump
in support Of these several candidates, proclaimed
from the hilltops and IN the valics all over tho
land that the election of LINCOLN would lead tC
certain, inevitable and ireporable dsunion ant
the response to this was "Let the Northern Re
pubicans stand firm, and if the Union must go
why then, let her slide"
