The, proBlem' of such an ; opposi tion, ha? been
once' worked out. . Such was the opposition of the
federal leaders to the war of 1812 j and what was
the result? . A nation's and a world's contempt.
Degraded and self-dtpised, the guilty men sought
to avoid universal scorn by disavowing the name
which theif ratKefs'hacl assumed, and under- cover
of which they ha&jwrought treason against their
country, in thir frantic opposition to us constiuteu
authorities. . In discarding -their onccchc.nshed
name, and adopting one not associated with crimes
against their country, they abandoned no. princi

the contempt Mexico rras brought upon herself by

It is a fearful responsibiliiy .which Senator-Corwin
and, the National. Intelligencer, with their : ac

ugine that the ghosts of the gallant dead of their
own countrymen, kindred, and party,. as well as
of hosts of slaughtered Mexicans who rush on
dcatbystimulatodV their arguments and promises,
should haunt their nightly visions..
The, National Intelliffenccr, not content with
opposition to the war, attacks, with blind fury, the
pillars of the . constitution, ano woutar in eneci,
dHaHoy.a government which its party cannorcon

leading articieof the 5th inst., .would, if practised
upon as sound, render the government powerless

Mexico. The consequence is, a perfect concert
between our whig leaders and the Mexican chief-
tains. , i ne wnig leaders say, our armies ought
to be withdrawn from the Mexican territory;
which is virtually a promise o withdraw- them
when they get the power. The Mexican chief
tatns.say, " we will not even treat for peace until

until the wug leaders are made the rulers of

istration all are discussed with about equal abili
ty and malignity.. Those who have read Cor
win's speech, Delano's speech, and any of the
leading federal papers in this country, on the one
hand, and the address of the clergy of San Luis,
and the proclamations of Santa Anna and his gen
erals, on the other, need push their researches no
further in search of proof.
' The fact lhat the attacks of the federal press
and the federal politicians on the war have created
a belief in Mexico that we are a divided people,
and on the eve of a revolution, in consequence of
the" war, and have, beyond all question, contributed
to prolong offensive operations and delay' peace.
The proof of this is to be found in the frank letter
of Captain Blandtng, of the South Carolina volun
teers, published in this paper, and dated at Jala pa
in April last. '
The fact that the Illinois and Ohio regiments,
while encamped in Mexico, burnt a federal candi
date for the presidency ih effigy, proves lhat they
felt the effect which his attack upon the war had
produced among a hostile population. The speech
of Doniphan the articles in the Ameiicart papers
published in Mexico- and numerous other1 an
thotitics, are amply confirmatory of this assertion.
These, then, are some of the facts and the evi
dences in this case. They appear overwhelming
to us. They will, we presume, be satisfactory to
the country, which is ' the jury before which it
will be tried. The federal papers have the right
of defence and reply ; bi they will not conciliate
a favOraMe decision by borrowing still further
from the Mexicans the tone and the language of
insolence and denunciation.

Some fears were entertained for'the safety of
