and honor of the country oi the syihpahles eAplese ed in this couh,ry by Ca lew" for the cause of Mex CO Borrowing he bombast of the Richmond Wh'e in order to sustain the pusrile malice from she Baltimore Patriot. wheh he borrowed before ht again assaults the President tvrant and dictator for he use of the following language which he quotes and ita cises as too@s

 "The war has been represented as unjust and uu- necessary, and oI aggress on on our part up- on a weak and injured enemy. 4 more qtectnaf "saHs could not hsre besa desed to encourage the enemy and protyoct hs ipsr taaB to adr1cdts and adhere 10 hsr sause and thus gips ths'n "a,d aud comfort.

 The words are trained with some artiice to give them a connexion which they do not bear in the original. Between these TWO sentences MT. Polk wrole another which these candid opponents strike out without a mark to shew where the paragraph was mangled. And preceding the whole, was an other nlence also omitted here, stating the induce ments of duty, which were his motives for giving full history of the war.

 The following is the whole passage, from which it will be seen that these sensitive gentlemen have not scrupsd 10 galb'e paragraph in order to sup press all the connexions between the parts which shew the precise intent and application of its lan- euaee We quote from the message, marking in italics the passages extracted by our neighbJr, or for him, by the authority from whom he borrows;

 'I deem it 10 be my du'y 10 present to you, on the present occasion, conde"sed review ol the injuries had sustained of the causes which led to the war and of it's prog ess since It's commencement ihls Is rendered h more necessary becauss oi the mlsap prehensons winch have 10 so ne extent prevailed as to it's origin and true character. The par has been Teprssented njgd and unnecessary, and as one ot aRRrsssioa on our part upH Veak and injared ene. Surh q. though by few have been widely aud extensively circulated not only al home, hul have been spread through u M .xlco aad the whole world. more etecinaf n1edns could not hIpe been depiSed to encourage the estHy and Drotrocf ths han 10 odrocate and adhere 10 sJs,ir cause. and thus givshsm aid and comfort"

 These are all the words of offence honestly quoted for which Mir. Polk IS abused without scru- pie and moderation. and we, of the Register are made out to be serve aaherents of Erteutius onni pofsnes for considering them true and appropriate.

 Nov, if we could dlscoveri in them that which the lnAamci passions of the whiss have, with suspl- cious snsasness of conscience detected as an arro- ganI attack upon hereedon of the citzanwe should be very sorry tobe thought their pJogst On the oh- CT hand would not for the worth of worlds, carry in our h. arts that eversh doubt of the hones.y of own conduci between own country and its ens- mics in war, whchs promptly takesto ourselves, as condemnation and reproach the announcement oi sruths so clear unquesiionabIe and appropriate as those contained in the language of President Polk.

 Why, neither the Advertiser nor the Whls, nor even Mir. Webster, pre-cminent in distorng facts, will venture dispute of the assertions of the President Not one VII affirm that the war has not been represented as just and unnecessary, and one of aggression on part on weak and injured enemy" Not one will deny that these representa- tons have been circulated extensively 'at home, and throughout Mexico and the world;" and sure ly, no person will dispute that these representations do encourage the enemy and give him "aidan com fort" Of what then do these whigs complaint What is it that the presient has done for which we are so sayagely berated for sustaining him?

 As the representative of tho government of the country, he has sad these "misapprehensons," for he calls them nothing worse, do injury to the char scter, and embarrass the of the arms of ths country in this war. They are not true, and they ought to be corrected; and he proceeded to make a "noble vndicaion'' of lhe justice of the war. This is all Why do the whigs complain and assail him for ,hie7

 We have looked with care over the scores of de- nunclatons which meet with in this paper, and the assumption which pervades them all, is this that the war is unjust and unnecessary, and aggres sive-that it ought to be 50 avowed and proclaimed, and its authors denounced and punished-that Mexico is "a weak and injured enemy" and is enti- tied to the 'aid asd com'ort" of lhs declaration at home and in the eyes of the world; and that the President has no right to say otherwise, to defend the war as just and necessary, and to deprive Mexi of the benefit of these representations, without being chargenbe with designs fatal 10 the liberties and rights of the friends o Mexico, which are in this respect, to be placed above the right of the President defend the reputation ofthe country and above the right of those who believe with him that the war is just and honorable, sustain him in that defence.

 Here are the positions of the message and those of its assailants distinctly defned There are no 'doc- uues" oftreason or imputations of motive made in the message but simply facts asserted, and the ef- fects honestly described. The war; il maiatains, is an honorable war, and it is duty to ,indicate il and deprive our enemy of the moral benefits of the opinion seducusy cultivated tha, we are wantonly invading ah unoffending neshbor. This is Mir. Folks view.

 The wbigs deny the facts that establish the honor able character of the war, and voluntarily assume the responsibility ofthe denial and it's consequences, in giving ''aid and comfort'' to the enemy. No blus ter or denunciadon, abuse ofthe President will al- ter in the eyes of the country the plain fact of this s sue, or transfer 10 the democratic party the odium of supporting lyrants and destroying liberty because they believe the country right in it's position, and of fend whig sensiblities by saying SO.
