The rebuke is most just, and we trust it will have a salutary effect upon these enemies of their own country. The writer has been a regular correspondent' to the North American, ever since he lett for Mexico, and of course it is from that paper he learns the part. the Federalists take with the Mexicans.

There is the same absence of all allusion to the causes which led to the difficulties between the two' countries— the same studied attempt to place the blame upon the Government of the United. States—the same pictures of the excesses of our soldiery—the diva sitton to magnify the spirit and resources of . Meta. co. The newspapers and politicians of Meiieo, in these parficubus, enjoy a common sympathy with the Federlisbi here. The address of clergy of San Luis Potosi is singularly like •the speech of Cessna. To this hour, what is the burden of the Federal, press on the subject of the War 1 Allem of the ex ecutive exaggeration of oarlosses and expenditures —false statement of the excesses of our soldiers— and daily .misrepres, entationsin regard to the origin of the contest. There is never, to be seen a sine allnsion to the wrongs Mexico basheaped upon us. We hear nothing, of the murders she committed, or the property She sequestered, in her intercourse with this country for twenty years. We hear nothing. of , her violations of treaties with the United States— nothing of her treatment of the, umber/ding Texans of the scenes of the Alamo--aothing of the horri cruelties in fl icted upon all who fell into' her hands during the difficulties with Texas : on these subject& there is a studied and unbroken silence, that contrasts singularly with the silence of the Mexicans themselves on the same sub. jects. Even the English press, flit° this ma meet, has said less against out country on account ofthe war with Mexico than the Federalists, and if it should fall into the main of the opposition, it would only bebecause it would believe the Whigs before it would - credit the Democrats. The men who sympathised with England in the revolution and the late war—who sympathised , with the Indians dtiying, the Seminole and Florida wars, cannot' denrade themselves now' ' by, sympathising with the Mexican' .
