There were men in thatday who took attlea with the enemy against the Whigs of the Rero lution.juat as the leaders of the present opposition party take sides now against the constituted authorities of their country. ‘.‘“ The Vi'higa 'al that day were the advo cates ol the rights of their country. and were willing to sacrifice eeery thtng but honor in resisting the tyranny and oppres sion oi the King and Parliament ol Great Britainand lor the establishment of a free and independent government. Taking then their sentiments and con duct as the test by which to determine what constitutes a Whig. what just claim can the Federalists make to the name?— May we no? appeal to the lather: of De mocracy who are yet amongst us to prove that from the establlahment oi the consti tutihn to the present day. the leading led eralials. in all the difiiculties we have had with foreign powers. toak sides against the Democrats and justified the entities of their country.jurt as they are nowjustily in; the Mexicans, and condemning Mr. Polk and the Democratic party?

The Demo . crate. were then denounced lor, maktng war without preparation, andyhy many the war was declared wicked and unjust. as the leading Uorwin Federalists now de nounce the Mexican war. Many of the New England orators cle. clared it “ unbecoming a moral and reli gious people to rejoice at our victories.’ and thus was the opposition to the war continued. and the arm of the nation in a degree'paralyzed by the machinations ol Federalism. until it ended in the unparal leled victory of the Bth ol January, 1815, at_N'er'orleans. achieved under the aus pices of Andrew Jackson. ' The result all ' this war gave almost a death blow to Fed eralism, and then it was that they began ‘ to deny their ancient name. and to seek for others more popular, in order to de ceive the people and screen themselves from the odiutn of their trattorous conduct.

Cadwallader loa ing some fifteen killed and thirty or forty wounded. The Mexicans were repulsed, and the bridge was successfully passed by Gener al Cadwallader, who was on his way to Jalapa. Since the above was Written. we have learned that in the affair between General Cadwallader and the Meaicans at the Na tional Bridge. the company of Lieutenant Blakey. ol the newly raised voltigeurs. with two howrt'Lere. charged the barri cades and swept them with a few charges from the howitzers. 0n passing through, however.
