• TO THE _
Democracy of Allegheny County.
FELLOW-CITIZENS:
THE time for action approaches. Our po•
litieal adversaries are depending upon our
apathy ;Auld whilst they are secretly active,
expect-to: . profit- by-on r apparent security.
They:-do: not reflect, that however we may
be,iildiVidually inert, yet that the princi
ples7Of Democraey aro always vigilant,
and the, party, at the appointed time, will
respond by their suffrages, to the call of
those it is a • singular circum
staace,'m the present State contest, that no
assaultmade, by the Whigs, upon the!
personal or administrative character of our!
candidate. -Mr. Shunk has passed unscath
ed,:except in the
c .olumns of two or three.
insignificant papers, the mere dregs and;
offscourings of the Whig press. In this
particular; the Whigs have acted with good
.sense - and sound policy. Mr. Shunk's ad-
Ministration -has been wise, honest and pa
,friorte, and an attempt to assail it, must on
'itrecoil upon the authors or such an lib.
- surdity. The Whigs admit -all that can
be said in. favor of Mr. Shunk, but they
are not satisfied—they ;are anxious for
Whig'dornination, they think they could
do better: They do not tell us how. The
Statois prosperous, population increasing,
wealth abounding, taxes easily discharged,.
the revenue from the Public Works hourly
increasing, the interest upon the public
,debt. promptly paid. The administration
',and Supervision under the Board Canal
:Ceiimiiisioners is as perfect as it can be
,rendered. No complaint by ally one. flow
that a Whig administration can do
'Mere' than has been done by Mr. Shunk
tind.lhis Mends? The Whigs do not point
-out any new mode of policy or improve
-- nienf, but they have a general notion that,
:Jr they were lb get the offices, they would
render some great service.
They have been so in the habit of pre
,fficting the advantages that are to be deri
vetl people from their rule, that we
Titaye no doubt they believe all they say.-
- the only difficulty is z that the People arc
`satisfied with things as they are, and have
'fill along preferred Democratic praCtice to
Whig teory, as they will continue to do,
-so long as they retain their senses. But
Although we may not be willing to enter
,tninWhig rule, on account of any emer
gency in the State administration, requiring
their wit and wisdom to regulate our at
?Ott, yet the Whigs suppose their services
are wanted by the public on account of the
'detanged, condition of our National Admin-
IStration; and that in order to aid them in
getting into power at the next Presidential
Wction, the People will be willing to con
fer upon them the government of Pennsyl
:vaitia, as a stypping stone towards their
*stowing, iareturn, the wonderful favor
of accepting all the offices and managing
finances of the National Government.

facture, and depreciating the value of grain
in the, foreign market. Now before ve
believe in all these inconsistencies, let us
.iike a brief survey of what they have
done, and compare it with what the De
mocracy has done to support and sustain
the honor and welfare or.our common
country. The first thing that occurs to
our minds, is the very limited periods of,
time in which the blessings of Whig ad
ministration have been bestowed upon the
country, Whether under the guise of their
present appellation, or under the various de
nominations and Protean shapes they have
assumed from the days of ancient Federal
ises to the present aspirations of ‘Vhigge
ry. Their reign commenced with the
reign of terror, and the enactment of the
alien and sedition laws under the elder Ad
tns, and continued at that time for a peri
Otl . of four years; then followed an interval,
0r twenty-four years, of what they call.'
democratic misrule, under such men as'
Jefferson, Madison and Munroe. After
this, came in Adams, the younger, with all
his father's vanity, and about half .his tal
ents—he played such antic tricks before
the people, that his term was limited to
four years, and the Democratic administra
tions of Jackson and Van Huron, occupied
another interval. At length they succeed
ed in the elevation of General Harrison,
who, in ono month, fell a victim to the in-I
qttietude created by the restless anxiety off
his T followers to absorb all the offices of the I
government, mid who gave him no peace,
day or night, until they hail pursued him'
to the grave. This brought in John Ty ler,l
who, though elevated by the Whigs, soon
discovered that their policy was as dis
graceful to the country, us their persecution
-orGeneraHlarrison had lxien inhuman
and '•who fairly kicked: them out of the y
White House in order to get rid of their
importunities. For this, after having tried
in vain to make him pull in Whig traces,
they employed the four years of his ad-
Ministration in stigmatizing his. character
and - endeavoring, to bead hun, as they term
ed- it z in all matters ofpublic
Taus'Federalism and its bastard descen
dent, Whiggery, has had the administra
Bon of the Government for , the term of
eight years and one month, or. counting the
administration of Mr. Tyler as a whig ad-
MiitiStration, only twelve years; whilst the
DeinCieratie administration of the Govern-.
anent lims occupied a period of thirty nine
years: During this .period of time, and
under the Democratic Presidents, Louisi
antt,,,Florida, Texas, the Oregon Territo
ry, tind the .disPuted Territory adjoining
.Maine, have been added to the country. an
aied4'adt:leSs than'one half of Europe. A
successful Var has been carried ou to the
great credit and imperishable• renown of
the Army and Navy and the great glory
- ,
of the country—a natiOnal debt of more
than one hundred millions of dollars has
been paid—the population of the country
has increased from three
.to twenty-five
millionsour . Mercantile Marine exceeds
in tonnage that of all the powers of the
world combined, except that of England—
our exports have risen from seven to tire
wards of a hundred millions of dollars per
annum—our annual manufactures exceed
in amount the whole value of the anneal
manufactures of Great Britain at the time
we became a Nation. The benefits of our
Agriculture, cannot be estimated by figures,
and the prosperity, wealth and happiness
of the People at large, have no parallel in
anything that has heretofore existed in the
history of Nations. Let us . remember
that all this prodigious influx of wealth,
prosperity and happiness, have accrued to
the nation under its several successive
Democratic Administrations, and then ask
ourselves, what better could have been
done, had the nation been blessed with
Federal rulers? Indeed, is it not obvious,
that, if they had carried out the policy and
the constitutional . principles by which they
always have profi_issed to be governed, in
stead of being a great nation, extending
from the 49th parallel to the Rio Grande,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, we
should have been cabbined, cribbed, con
fined, within the narrow limits of the Flor
ides and Louisiana on the South, and the
Mississippi on the West; that the Spaniards
would have occupied a portion of our At
lantic and the greater part of our Mexican
coast, and the French, under their claim
of Louisiana, the balance. So that the
whole country between the Mississippi and
the Rocky Mountains, would have been
under the domination of the latter; and that
the Oregon country would have, been a
bone of contention between Great Britain
and France, or pqrhaps Russia. That
Texas, an Empire as large as France.
would have been lost to us, and that we
should have found no outlet fir our teem
ing population.
is it wit, besides, certain, that the prin
ciples held by that party, its regards aliens,
would have prevented a vast influx of fo
reign population and wealth? That an
Aristocracy, created by the riyh awl sup
ported by chartered privileges and incur
punned monopolies, would have been
tired amongst us—that the press would'
have brew traninielled, and the liberty of;
speech restricted, and the principles on
Freedom would have ben lost sight of, in l
the endeavor to support en oligarchy
equally contemptible for its pride and dan
gerous for its.malignityl
It is not equally certain that the 'war!

Whigs in our own. Who broke out into
open blasphemy against Mr. JelYei son,
when it was announced, that whilst the
I.:cduralists were urging a war for Louis
Lana, Nlr. Jefferson had purchased it, and
with the usual consistency of that ).arty,
alleged, that although it was constitutional
to acquire by conquest, vet it could not be
done by purchase?--Let history tell.
Who interposed with the British Gov
ernment in order to prevent Emmett. Me-
Nevin, and other distinguished Irish pa
triots, from being rescued from the dun
geons and the scaffold, and sent to our
shores? Who, but the Whig party, who
as Federalists, opposed, themselves, with
ruthless barbarity. to affilrding them and
their associates protection; and now, as
Whigs, claim their gratitude toad boast that
they will obtain their votes, notwithstand
ing their hostility to the stranger, the way-,
rarer and the alien. Who, during that!
war, so necessary to our honor, so condu•
cive to our elevation, so glorious in its ter
,mination, reviled its authors, denounced its!
heroes, thrilled traitorous coin lanai ions I
against the government; and proved them
selves not only unworthy of its offices, but
unfit to live in a nation of Patriots and
Freeman. Who p but that very party, who
now, under the -denomination of Whigsd
arc asking for the suffrages of the People /
and boasting that they, forsooth, are better
calculated to carry on the government o
the country than the Democracy. Butt
time would fail and patience would be ex• I
hausted, in an attempt to carry on the con
trust. Under Democratic Presidents, we.
' have arrived ut our present elevated, en.
nobted - , prosperous condition. What can
we hope then from placing those in power!
that have uniformly opposed themselves to!
'those prominent popular acts that have led
to this greatness? For be it remembered
that these acts and demonstrations that have
!led to such tna,,imificent results, were the,
'acts and the will of the people through their
administrative heads—that it was their
policy, that the Federalists and the Whigs
always opposed—it was their prosperity I
that that party endeavored to cramp and,
control. and it wits the dread of the pope -1
ler will that stimulated, and continues to
1 1 stimulate tic- Whigs, in their opposition to
,! all that would tend to advance the honor,
!glory and happiness of the nation.
Look, then, Fellow Citizens, to the his-,
I tory of you r•Country ; appeal to the honc.!
lest and well.informed bioli for the trutli
lof what we assert. Put it b to AV higg them
selves to say, a hat part of the policy, up
on which the Democrats have acted, they
have ever sustained ; what part they have
not ever opposed. They ask your votes;
ask them in turn, what they have ever'
done or advocated to promote the welfare
of the country? Judge by their acts, not
by their words—by their deeds, not by
their promises—and our lives for it, no
man, Dot hound by prejudice to the whig
car and whig opituons,—no one, not blind•
ed and besottea, ignorant of the true his
tory of his country, or jaundiced by his
hatred of the F.'eople,will cast a suffrage
for the Whig candidate.
The whips have, however, presented us
with a candidate for the office of Governor,
who seems to meet their general views,
both as to character and principles, and to
judge of their support of him, he will not
be liable to fail for want of their hearty
commendation. They do not entirely
agree as to what may be deemed his most
.a::..._1z.. .. ,t.,.,j..
_
imposing traits and most valuable charac
teristics; but so far as they do agree, we
will test him by The crucible, and see how
he can bear the fire. We doubt not he,
will turn out refined gold. Their princi
pal ground' of commendation appears to be,
that he is a wealthy' Iron 'Master': Nolv,
we agree that it is a good thing to be' mil
iron master—to have control of seine three;
lor four hundred laboring hands dependant ;
I on one for their daily bread—to be able to;
place task masters over them to say to one,'
Come, and he cometh; to another, go, and
he goeth; and to a third, do this, and he,
doeth it. All this is very good in itself ; it;
satisfies the pride of the human heart, iti
gratifies cupidity, and it is pleasant to rule:
over and sway and govern a number off,
people; but how it fits a man to be (Cover-I
nor of Pennsylvania? Aye, there's the
rub. And what it advantageth the State
to have a whig Iron Master as Governor,'
instead of an honest, plain spoken German
like Shunk, we arc at a little at a loss to
see, and must remain blind until: more
whig light is shed upon the subject: But,
say they, he is rich, very good, very corn
Portable; but, will they inform us how lie
!obtained his wealth? Have his 'laborers
become wealthy with him, or has he screw
ed thetri down to the last cent, whilst his
iron has sold for the highest prices? Has
he paid them in cement coin of the realm.
;or in rags? Has he made profits on his,
iron, on their:labor and his own store goods?
flas he contrived to keep them always in;
I ,
debt so that they could not leave lihn? and;
whilst many of them have been struggling'
Gar a bare existence, has he been revelling'
in wealth, produced by stimulating their'
I labor and keeping them employed at the
:owes prices? or rts he exhibited a noble;
l and generous spirit? and have those, who,
;commenced under him in poverty, their;
hom..
!steads, their comforts, and their fair,
share of the conveniences of life? These'
are inquiries which we wish answered by;
those who consider the wealth of their cote'
dilate as a circumstance that entitles him
Ito the highest honors of the State. But,
say the Whigs, he was the great supporter,
lif net the originator, of the late Bankrupt:
Law. We admit. that on this amount, so
far as the whigs are concerned, he is enti
tied to their highest gratitude. During the
'rage of speculation, they had the car of.
I the Ranks; the
y become great men ; rolling
I in their coaches and guzzling champagne;,'
I the *fumed and fretted and stnitted their
hour upon the stage ; they broke the Banks;
!mat the Banks !mike them; and any one
1 who would furnish them with the nwans!
of sw e .ping the course clear, rubbing out
the chalks, is worthy of all they can do
for him. But the Democrats did not to alit '
the law; they never asked for it; they op•i
posed it; they repealed it. It is certainly
; gratifying that the Whigs, when occasiou
n es - , have LIUt forgotten so good a friend
HIS its author. But, how that act enti..l
tics him to the popular , cite, is a problem
lb.) deep f;.r our solution. It is certainly]
right for a Bankrupt party to make up a,
;purse for their advocate, but to put the!
Governor's salary into it, to reward him by
an office in the gift of the Prople, fur doing!
what the People did not approve, appears'
to show a degree of modest assurance;
which our whig friends only, are capable
of exhibiting. Ano!licr circumstance. eon
tributing to elevate the character of Gen
; oral Irwin wilt the whigs, seems to be his
decided opposition to the late war with
Great Britain. It is true that upon this
subject they are chary in their remarks.
Although all seem to agree, that it is an
invaluable circumstance in the life of their
'candidate, yet nll are not reconciled as to
Idle policy of des-anting upon it in the pub
lie journals. Although this want of una
nimity is a set] rcc of regret, it is yet worth
while to waste a few words upon the whig
argument upon this interesting subject.—
Their idea seems to be this : Mat in the
sante proportion as such opposition denotes
is lack of patriotism, in like proportion does
it evince high moral courage and political
intrepidity. And as their candidate took
upon hint the brunt at that time of oppo
sing the Government, so in the war now
pending with Mexico. and which the whips
affect to believe, is not popular, the aid
of the whig candidate. if elected, would be
depended upon in giving his official sanc
tion to all measures that may tend to
thwart the measures of the General Gov
went, and compel them to a peace.
The Whigs contend that a peace with
the Mexican Govermiamt, even if we re
cede from all our claims, would not be dis
graceful, and that it is more consistent
with a humane people to withdraw their
armies, when flushed with victory, than it
would be to gain all the objects for which
the war was comnlenced—with honor to
ourselves Juand with the establishment of
peaceful relations on a permanent basis.
We have nothing to say as to the cor
rectness of these assertions, or ns to the
propriety of sustaining a Hartford Conven
Lion Federalist for the highest office in the
State. We give whig argument and sub
'mit to your decision. Another of those
neuters, which have been pressed upon the,
public by the wltigs, and which demands;
our attention, is the charitable characteris
tic of their candidate, and as this is a light
that neither he nor they choose to hide un l r
der a bushel, it becomes us .to unite with I
them in admiring this rare quality in his
character. Ihiring the late period, when
every man in the country was contributing
according to his means to relieve the dis
tresses or our trans atlantic brethren, it ap
pears that this wealthy Iron Master gave
a donation of Fifty barrels of Flour, for
the sufferers in Ireland; about the fiftieth
part of his annual income. Now whether
this may be considered as his gift, or that
of the hard-fisted laborer's, out of whose
sweat he derives his wealth, we will not
stop to inquire, but allow him all the merit
which his generosity entitles him. But
surely it is too late in the day to contend, )
seriously, that a man's Charity should en
title him to be Go'ernor of Pennsyl
vania
Why, 1.11)011 the same doctrine, every
generous donor, during the famine of the
past year, would be entitled to be Gover
nor of the State, and those of our personal
acquaintances, who have s 6 recently made
generous donations to found and build an
Hospital, might each of thorn put in for the
plate and, claim the suffrages of the 'Coin.
muuity. But whilst we are upon this sub
ject, we will call the attention of our Fel
low Citizens to a Letter, written by the
whip candidate himself: in which his
charity and-piety are fully set under his
own signature, and which has received
the sanCtion : of his. party as evincing,
Not only his modesty and virtues, but
his talent at composition, and his kaow
ledge of the construetiorOif his own lan
guage, or, to be more in keeping. with his
and their principles, we might .say, with
the King's English. We have thus; Fellow-
Citizens, stated, with the utmost frankness,
the greundsupon which the %Alga claim
your support for their candidate. We
have treated their arguments with fairness
and answered them with candor, and now
leave to you to decide whether they are of
a moral and political importance sufficient
to induce you to cast otF Mr. Shank, the
faithful adherent to Democracy, at all times
the well tried, honest and intrepid servant
of the public, the Man of the People, for
the sake of placing the wealthy Iron Mas
ter in the Governor's chair.
We have reserved for a few parting
words, Fellow Citizens, that which should
be first and last and midst iu the minds of
every man in the country : The war with
Mexico, the great touchstone of Patriotism,
the surest test of high and holy feeling for
the honor of your country. Our adversa
ries, the whigs, say it is the war of the ad
ministration. We alledge it is your war
—the war of the People. They alledge
that it is waged without reason, and that it
. will result in no object. We aver that its
is waged from the highest principles of nu
tionaljustice, and has for is object the
reparation of National wrongs and Nation
al insults. By endeavoring to sever the
people from the administration of our Gov
; eminent, they insinuate, as they have ever
done, that the people are too ignorant to
appreciate their rights, too lukewarm to,
sustain, too spiritless to tight for them.
We tdledge that the Administration and
the People are identical; that the war has
arisen front the public voice, evincing that
the popular will is fully informed of the
insults and violations of tkity offered by
the Mexican States, and that, prompted by
a desire to sustain the honor of the country
unimpaired, the People have hurried to the
contest, preferrinff ' that the best blood of
their sons should be shed, toy sacrifice of
the National name. The whigs alledge
that the imprisonment of American Citi
zens—the confiscation of American -Ves
sels—the immersing or their crewsin dun
geons—tluir judicial nmrder,aral robbery
of those, who, under our treaties with Mex•
ico, were entitled to protection—the refu
sal to remunerate them for pioperty seized
by the Mexiean Covernment=the violation
of every known law and Tight, which
ought to subsist between nations—and last
ly, the invasion of our own territory by a
hostile Mexican force—nro not sufficient
causes for hostility, and require no forcible
reparation. But, if we war, they insist up
nn it that it should be war without conquest,
one barren of results, and that we have no's,
right to actinire Mexican Territory by
force, or retain the acquisition. That it is
contrary to the Constitution of the union
to gain victories, conquer cities, or take the
provinc4.s of our enemies. Such, upon this
grave subject, are their manifest contradic
tions—such is the sacrifice of their patriot
ism to their prejudices—such their con
tempt for the understanding of the people.
The renown of our arms, the honor of our,
flag. our stripes and stars dipped in the
blood of our enemies, falls upon their sen
ses with coldness, and creates with them
only horror for the exigencies of war.—
hhey Id have libmclless victories and
barren cc:Mit:sts. If success= attend our
standard, they attribute it to the accidents
of the war, or the cowardice of our cab
tines. Nothing to that wisdom of a popu ,
far administration that insures success;:
nothing to the high reverence of national,
glory among the People, which is the pre
cu NM' of our conquests.
Battles, such as have never been heard!
of in history, in which discipline and emir
rge have overcome untold numbers, twit h
er warms their hearts nor arouses their
patriotism. The rapture of cities, by our
fleets; the overcoming of whole States,
by mere handsful of men; the planting or
'our Eagle upon fortresses, almost impreg
nable; which have now become matters of
every day speculation and every hour's in
telligence, they pass by, like the idle wind,
which 111 , 11 regard not, occasionally endea-1
voring to arrogate for themselves, the hour
ors of victory', because some few Whigs
have not degenerated from the fame of
their fathers and are to be found fighting
in the cause of their country ; but they at
tribute no merit to the administration, and
deny all sense of what is due to their coun
try and to the people. Not only so, but
the administration is constantly assault
ed on account of the conflicting sugges
tions that they have no right to quake
conquest, and that if they had sup
'died men and munitions of war, they
might have, by this time, conquered all
Mexico.
Is there a report adverse to our country?
it is by them trumpeted forth on herald's
tongues, with all the omens of evil. Is
there a disaster? they magnify 'it into de
teat. Is there a capture of a baggage mule
jor an adventure of merchandize? prompt
at the word, their papers abound with ti
dings of trains being taken, the military
chest, with its millions plundered, and the
arms and munitions of war having been
sent to the army, under n feeble guard,
have fallen into the hands of the enemy.—
With them, no victory gratifies an honora
ble thirst for American glory ; no disaster,
but what is hailed as the signal for the
downfall of Democracy. The old chimera,
that the Constitution is violated if conquest
is achieved, the sinister song of the Feder
al Whig party, on the occasion of the great
States and mighty Nations that have been
added to the Confederacy, they still con •
Mine to chaunt with demoniac malignity;
all Patriotism is sacrificed in their hatred
of the Democracy; and disguise it as they
may, in an affected rejoicing, when intelli
gence of victories animates the People, it is
but too apparent that they would prefer
seeing the Democracy put down, to know.
ing that by its skill and wisdom the public
enemy was conquered, peace secured, and
the rights, honor an glory of the country
vindicated.
Such are the Whigs; they nsk you to
show your sanction of their principles by
sustaining them for public offices.
We have spread their principles before
you,—judge for yourselves if they are fit
agents for administering the government
for a Democracy, great and magnanimous .
—a People, intelligent and free.

Mr. Dallas.—The Gazette.
In his paper of Friday, the editor of the Gazette
says—"Mr Dallas has asserted before the people
of Pittsburgh four falshoods ; two in reference to
the War, and two in reference to the Tariff." One
of these falsehoods he declares to be, the statement
of Mr. - D. - Alias "that Gen. Taylor suggested and
recommended the occupation of a portion of the
Rio Grande. Another was, in pronouncing the
acts of Mexico, on the east bank of the Rio Grande ,
..a trespass upon our sod and slaughter of our
countrymen. "These are two of the farts asserted
by Mr. Dallas, which the editor of the Gazette
pronounces "falsehoods."
We have already presented a sufficient amount
of r roof to satisfy I'LL except the apologists of Mex
ico, that the territory embraced in what was
annexed to our country as Texas, was ours—from
the moment that act a-as consummated; or, if the
whote - tif that territory was not then ours, not one
foot of it was at any time, or is now, a portion of
this Union. Mexico claimed (not only at the time
when hostilities actually commenced, but at this
moment claims,) all the soil embraced within the
limits of Texas as belonging to her. She declared'
its annexation to our territory would be considered
a sufficient cause for war; and, b - gore any hostile
demonstration had been made on our part, she
declared war against us, and commenced the
slaughter of our countrymen. These are all facts,
-fully sustained by the evidence which we have
submitted to our readers; and yet; notwithstanding
these facts, the Gazette,(and the other apologists
of Mexico,) recklessly asserts, that the President
is the author of the war; and th i it The Vice Presi
dent has stated an untruth, in presenting to the
people facts, which are sustained by the printed
ducuments of the country.
But we will give these MrxreAxs "a little more
grail(' ! " We will submit a tittle more testimony,
going to prove the truth of the statement of Mr.
. Dallas. It is from a source entitled to some L credit.
The Republican, printed in the city of Mexico,
• and bearing date on the 22d of June last, in com
menting on one of the letters .of Mr. Buchanan,
says :—.• The Mexican government does not reivg
nize, and never has remgni.ed, any other boundary
but TILE SA DINE. • • • Mr. Buchanan says
that Mexico, in the act of repelling Taylor, began
the war. • • • It was the United States who
declared War, IN TIIE ACT OF ANNEXING TEXAS."
Further than this—Gen. Houston, one of the Sen
ators from Texas, in his place on the llooi of the
Senate, during the first session of the last Congress,
most positively asserted, th - Slt Englad recognized
the Texan claims to the Rio Grande, \b y directing
her Minister to apply to the Texan "overnment,
to make valid the grants of land thkt had been
made by the Mexican Government to \British sub
jects, prior to the Texan Revolution; and that the
Texan government acted in obedience\ to the sug
gestions of that European power; that when Gen;
Vasquez invaded Texas with his maraud fig parties,
he (Gen. Houston) declared it to be an invasion of
Texas, when he crossed the Rio Gr nde—that
every warlike movement of Mexico poi ted to the
Rio Grande as the true boundary—an that the
proclamation of Gen. Won, in 1844 declared
every Mexican to be a rebel and a trait r who,at
the end of thirty eays from the date of is procla
mation, should be found one league (lista t, on this
side of the Rio Grande ; that Col. Ha ys and his
Rangers kept possession of the country between
the Nueces and the Rio Grande; that Mexico had ,
no military establishments in that country, and
exercised no jurisdiction over any part of it ; and
that Texas extended her laws, and exercised her
jurisdiction, over every foot of it I
This is suety not a new statement to the editor
of the Gazette—as he boasts of having attentively I
listened to all the speeches made on the subject of:
the war, during that session. But if his memoryl
is at a loss on the subject, we will refer him , to the
Appendix to the Congressional Globe for that ses
sion, where he will find an accurate report of Gen-
Houston's remarks. The assertion of the Gazette,
then, that Mr. Dallas asserted a " falsehood " on
this point, is clearly proven to be untrue.
~
That General Taylor, in the discharge of his du
ty as commanding officer of the Southern 'Divi
sion of our army, did recommend the occupation of
a position on the Rio Grande, long before any
movement of our troops was made, or directed to
be made, to that quarter, is fully apparent, from
the extracts which we gave, a few days since,
from the correspondence between him and the
War Department. But we will refer to this re
commendation again. It is to be found in his letter
of the 20th of July, 1845, in answer to the letter
from Mr. Marey of the Bth of the 'same month,
in which he was I told=" The point of your ulti;
mate destination is the western frontier of Texas
(not the Naeces, not the Sabine,) where you will
select and occupy r .on or near the Rio Grande del
Norte, such a site-as will consist with the health of
the troops," &c.; and, in . answer to this': General
Taylor says,—. I am gratified at receiving these
iiistruCtioniii as they confirnt my vim!, rawrionszx
• .

finil General Taylor expressing to the . secretatiof
War his gratificatiOn, at the adoption of his views,
POLTIOIISLI COMMUNICATZD, Lit relation to TUB
POOPER LINE TO DE OCCUPIED _ by our troops.- :
And all this was naturally to be expected,—that
the Executive would correspond with the General,
in command of the Division in the , South, in rela
tion to the•position mos; proper to be taken; that
his views would be considered, in the same manner
as those of all other heads of particular 'depart
ments or divisions are; and, having been adopted,
that General Taylor should expresa his gratifica
tion. All this, we repeat, is perfectly natural, and
to be expected; and yet these political hucksters
would try and make , it appear, that, the President
and his party are seeking to shift the responsibility '
of this recommendation from him to" 'a command
ing General who could not and would not move
one inch, without orders from the Executivet'—
All this is said, too, at the very, moment - Whenjhe
second officer of the government is giying praise
to the brave and patriotic Taylor for haVitig so
clearly understood " the proper position to be or
:upied by our troops."
•
These reiterated statements of attempting, to shift
the responsibility of , the movement of Gen. Taylor
to the Rio Grande, drorn the President ri•that 'offi
cer, only show the miserable position in which' the,
"apologists of Mexico" find themselves- They
well know that any. Chief Magistrate of our court
s
try must, of necessity, depend, to
. _a greanextent, '
upon the, suggestions and recommendations of the
heads of departments, and they, in their turn, upon, '
the chiefs of bureaus, - and the commanders of di
visions. They well know that (though this is the
case,) the Executive alone is responsible furrthe
acts, performed in accordance with these sugges
tions and recommendations; and that the honor
achieved by their performluce, mainly, lierhepS
entirely, reflects upon the officer whose position
requires him to perform 'the active duty. They
well know, too, that the Executive, and the Derpo•
erotic party of the country, have, throughout, sus
tained Gen. Taylor in all his acts'and movements
in the Mexican ward that they have defended him
against the imputations of .tbe co laborers of the
Gazette, when he has been found fault with , ,bY
them ; and that they haVe, in all cases, apologised
for such acts as were not deemed clearly proper
ones. All these things are well known to the edi
tor of the Gazette, and to, his party; and we are
greatly mistaken, if all the subterfuges to which
they may resort, wilt not prove totally unavailing,
to fix upon the minds of the people, any impres 7
sion favorable to them. Their constant perversicina
of the truth, can only deceive those, who have not
the•opportunity carefully.to search for the truth;
and who rely upon'them to furnish it; and the in
famous deception which they practice can not be
long continued.
S II MIN K,
The language of the Federal party at this day,
is in exact accordance with the language of their
party during the war of 1812. That war was pro
nounced by the Federalists of that day, as *Wick
ed, unconstitutional, and unjust," and they then
said, "At the door of James Madison and hisac
complices, lies the blood of his butchered country : -
men." This war, says the Pittsburgh Gazette, is
an unrighteous act," and Joel R. Giddings, a spi
rit of the same class, says--" This is an.E,recutive
war. It was commenced by his (Mr: Polles). or
ders." How, then, can we recognise any difference
between the Whig party of 1847—the," apologists
of Mexico "—and the Federal party of 1812, who
were the apologists - of Great Britain ? .We cannot
find any difference between them., The Federalists
then said,—" the administration have been guilty
of the most absolute falsehood, as to their motives
for the pres.int war." The Federalists. now say
that the chief officers of the, gnyetn meat. utter
falsehoods, in relation to the:caitsis"as . t4.:war.svith
Mexico. The Federalists 0f,1812 . declared, that
no cause of complaint existed between this corm.
try and Eitgland,lnor to the declatatirin *War,
which could not have been adjusted by candid, in
genuous•negotiations:' The Federal Whigs, ...the
apoldgists of Mexico." Say, that- 4 ne" whole
TexaS scheme, war and all, has been so palpable
an outrage upon every constitutional right, and
upon every just international (we would like
to see a work from this," learned The ban'' point
ing out the unjust international laws,) that we
wonder that any man has the boldness to defend .
it." In.-this manner could we present parall.els y to
an indefinite extent; but it is needless to go
,far
ther. The Federal party of IS It 2, were (the apolo- '
gists of England, in that war;—the Federal Whig
party of
. 1847, are the apologi :ts of Mexico in our '
present war. :..,
There ilre two more "lalsehoods,r which we will
refer to in another article.
0:)- There is for fallen humanity so touch charm
in boldness and mantfood, that we admire the
,fea
tures, even when thrown around crime. Dialing
Jack Turpin seems to redeem' istime of bis ,errors.

! trary, we despise the meanness'of petty larceny,-
and the pitiful attempts generally accom )anytng
its disguise. Of a hind to this vraX the feeling
,aroused to the condtiet of the Gazette in appropri
ating (without acknowladgment) i the report of
the Decisions of the Supreme Court, for which, if
we did not, the editor knew our'correspondent de
served some credit, or be would not have palmed'
them on his readers as his own. But to cut off
their heads and so mutilate them, as to make some
of them nonsensical and untrue, and to copy. them
with all their errors of type setting, was rather
contemptible, for one who pretends to high notions
of character. It is painftil to expose such small
pilfering in any of our brethren of the .press. Our
litt l e professional reading would at least have
taught us aot to, pervert the sense and dishonor at
high tribunal by attributing to them palpable blun:
