:The Politica of our Soldiers. Sire totally disapprove of the course of some w hig papers in claiming all the officers in the Regular and Volunteer service as whips, and arguing therefrom that their party must needs .1)d in favor of the war. To our mind it proves nothing, except it be that the' whig party is extremely fonil of office, and will even'fight ,„ a "God abhored, unjust war" as they term it, foi• the sake pf holding them. .Besides, we• cncrtv , they have claimed many distinguished :?flicers as Whigs, who have Over acted with them, hut dn the Contrary utterly despise and corv ienui their l course. In regard, however, to the politics of the rank ankfile, "the men with knapsacks," who do the'•fighting, they have not been so decided in their claim, hence their accusation against them of being men of "loose morals," tic. And it is well they do not-claim them, as we are confident the re turns of the votes of our volunteers now in Mexico, will show at least ten to one for Shunk. KnOwing this the Hollidaysburg Standard is authorized to offer the following: • $lOO reward for legal proof that there are over sixteen whigs in the'Aperifin Highlan ders, now in Mexico. • $lOO for legal proof that there are over 16 whips in the Cambria Guards, now in Mex ico. $lOO for legal prop that there are,over 10 _ Whigs in the Monroe Guards,,now_in 11.1exico.

Porter's company of Irish Greens, now • in Mexico. • $lOO for legal proof that there i d s 1 whig in Captain Binder's German company, now in Mexico. • $lOO for legal proof that there are over 10 whigs in the Wyoming Artillerifts, now in Mexico. $lOO reward for legal proof that there are Over 15 whigs in the Uniontown company now in Mexico. $lOO reward for legal proof that there are over 15 whig,s in the Westmoreland Guards now in Mexico. $lOO for legal proof that there are over 10 whiga in the l i ßeading Artillerists, now in -Next. $5 0 for legal - proof that there are over 150 whigi . in the two Regiments of Pennsylvania Volunteers, now in Mexico: And, finally, $lOOO for legal proof that there is a single Whig in the American army, who approves Of the attrocione sentiments ut tered by the North Americanland its kindred spirits. In addition ,to this, the Detroit Free Press, says, that outof near 300 soldiers who have gone to Mexico from Michigan, not 30 are whigs.
