Everything is. wrong in their opinion. The Carlisle Herald is ever in this mood—and the editor of that truth-loving sheet has placed himselftin rather a strange position on several occasions by giving vent to this peculiar passion of Federalism. The Herald of last week published an extract from the address ofCol. Doniphan,.which was in answer to the speech of Hon. Thomas ft. Benton, who had been deputed by the people to tender tho thanks of the cilixcns of Missouri to Col; Doniphan, his officers, and his meh, (or their brave deeds in Mexico; Tho I to raid intro duces the extract under the flaming head of “ Mis management ofthe War—A Voice from Sacramento," and then goes on to approve of the. sentiments of Col. Doniphan. And what did Col. D. say on that occasion? He in as many words said that ho was sorry that Col. Benton’s plans of conducting the war had not been adopted. ” If,” says Col. Doniphan, “the honorable,Senator’s (Benton’s).plans had been adopted, tho war would have terminated long ago," and ho goes on,in a mild, sensible, patriotic speech to prove this. And Ihcso words of Co); Doniphan’s, the Herald thinks, is a severe hit at the Nanionol administration, and our neighbor appears to exult over the extract os though. Ito had really-found n marcVnest. But, tho Herald has placed itself in n strange position by endorsing the wards of Colonel Doniphan. At the time Cdh Benton proposed his plan to the President, and when it was .thought it would be adopted, as the best mode of bringing Mexico to terms, did our neighbor approve of the plan thenl Not ho. By reference lb tho files of the Herald of that time, it will he seen that Col. Bopton's plan was denounced and ridiculed hythal sheet, and the administration was slandered and tho courscst Kind of Federal slang for attempting to think of a plan such ns Col. Benton proposed. >But now the tune is.changed—now the administration; according to the Hor’ald, committed a'monstrous 1 error In not adopting by Colonel Denton! .What a determination to find fault is exhibited. /JThc readers of the Herald must certainly bo. edified with these twistings of their organ. ' , Fault-finding and grumbling, has lung been a favo rite mode of warfare by our Federal opponent!. It is as'difiicuU to set bounds to Federal slang and falsehood as to arrest tho progress of on all-consu ming pestilence. . Truth, when it comes in* tho way of n Federal demagogue, is treated as a farce and a humbug. This Inst attempt of the Herald to. find fault is tho most barc-faccd wo have yet noticed.— When it was thought that the administration Was i about to adoplCul. Benton’s plan,no epithet was too I severe to bo used against U,io .administration. The Herald thought it monstrous to think of adopting such & plan. Now, however, this same veracious shod quotes Col. Doniphan’s spocch loshow that tho administration should have adopted Col. Denton’s plan, and President Polk is again abused and slan dered because the plan was not adopted! Beautiful consistency 1 Col, Doniphan may be right is suppo. sing4hatCol. Benton’s plans should have been adopt* ed—we will not argue that'point. But for Iho Hcr* aid to endorse tho sentiments of Col. Doniphan, after its abuse of CoK Denton and the administration, on account of that very "plan," is a little 100 bnre.faoed —it is a piece of dishonesty, such as wo seldom meet with. The “ Lancaster Tribune," one of Santa Anna's small organs in this Stale, appears determined to force, ns to notice It. Tho “ Volunteer" must (rouble our Federal Mexican opponents very much, for at this time there are some .twelve or fifteen Federal journals blazing away ulus in right good earnest.— When a respectable sheet of Hint party feels dispo sed to attempt a refutation of anything wo havesaid, wo may.be induced to notice it, but we can't waste limo ; in noticing',so contemptible a sheet os tho, “Tribune.” A man whoso character, moral and political, is speckled with blotches of infamy, and who lias, robbed his creditors of their honest duos, can have no controversy with us.

The firslvtlung I cast my eye upon was a speech of Mr. Cdrwin, Senator from Ohio, denouncing the war, nndvlhosc engaged in it, as, little belter, .than n band of rubbers,.

Fellow citizens, the speeches which arc made in opposition to l '' i ' war '“ r “ from the Peaco Parly » but 1 SAY 1 **hY ARE MADE BY THOSE WHO ARE POSTPON ING THE PEACE ETERNALLY ! , The Corwin speech noticed hy Col. Doniphan, was published in nil Iho loading Federal papers of Iho country, and, if ourViemory serves us, wo think the Herald of this place published on important extract from it. . Had the author of that speech been n.citi. zon of any oilier country on the face of the earth, and made use of such language against his country and in favor of a foreign foe, lie would have been forced to try the reality of the rock and the. gibbet immediately .afterword. But hero, in the United Slates, ho was applauded “by one epliro party” be cause of his treasonable course,_ahd many of the Federal papers placed his paino.nl the bend of their columns, as their first choice for the Presidency.— Colonel Doniphan evidently regards Iho conduct of Iho Federal Mexicans herp es contributing to pro. tract the war, by affording encouragement to .the enemy. This is the . position which wo and the whole Democratic press have always maintained.— And yet Col. Doniphan is claimed ao a Whig., He may have acted with that party in Missouri, but it is certain ho has no fellow-feeling .with the Mexican Whigs who denounce the war. . , SHARP SHOOTING AND NO MISTAKE.
