MONDAY NIGHT, OCT %, 1886.
THE COURSE OF THE MEXICAN ORGAN.


If the federal whig party is to be judged by the
course of It's organ in this city, il must be regarded
as unworthy Of the confidence Of a great people.
For several years past this "orgnn Of foreign innu-
enes' has taken the. side Of every foreign power
against It's own country. IL has been sue
esssively the ally Of France and of England,
and is now that OF Mexico, And al this moment,
in the midst Of war--wiIh our dearest honor, our
rights, and our interests sakeit is seeking every
means to paratyzs efforts, to underrate our
sources, and discredt our treasury. To many
ntenls and purposes, il 'adheres to our en-
emies, giving them aid and comfort" thus cheer
ing up their spirits, and thus virtually meeting,
what il assigned in 1912 to the enemies Of our
against Great BriLSin, the character Of "mora tres-
son."


AT home, its faetious devotion to its own party is
so onfurated its determine ton TO put down the demo-
cratic party and TO build up its own maddened par
ty upon the ruins is excessive, that it does not
hesitate TO cheer up the iansticd abolitionsis, To
procure their support, by attempting to throw over
them the mantle Of Jefferson himself The Intslli-
Il
interference with the peculiar institutions Of the
south and west, is the only rock upon which this
holy Union split; and yet, instead Of rebukng
the spirit ofthe abolitonsts and trying to eepthsu~
down by uttering in their the bold and fearles
language Of TRUTH il indirectly cheers them on, ID
encourages coalition Of effort between the al 10
litionists and the wings Of the north.


Such, in double point OF yiew-owsrds our '.ne-
mics abroad, and the enemies Of the Union at homie
is the of the metropolitan organ Of the ,shig
party. II is very far from being agreeable to Ves
to utter these deplorabe truths.


There was a time when the National IntelGgen-
Ger pursued different course-whsn u its pure
and pamy days took the side Of the United States
against foreign nation with whom we were en-
gagged in war IL was then that the National Intel


gencer stood manfuly up the crisis and ro-echoed
the appellaton of the British party in Americs"-n
| the same manner must now raise the tocsin
OF the "Mexican party in America" Ifany federal
or "toryn prin, had then declared, in the midst OF
war with foreign nation, that every drop oi
blood which shed in the contest would lay upon
the head Of the administration. the National Intel


gencer would have been the first to denounce il as
a piece Of ''mOral treason.n We have gone
back to the National lntelligencer in those days.
We see how proudly it stood up by its
own government in the midst Of a foreign war
and how Indignantly it denounced the party which
opposed both the war and the administration. We
shall take the liberty of contrasting comparing is too
weak an expression for the occason) what il said
then, and what it says Then, when it appealed
to the evidences Of public feeling" which prevailed
among the patriots of the land it boldly declared its
own sentiments in the following manly terms
whilst therefore, under this banner the opposi-
ton prints industriousy marshal every strag-
Cling indication OF dLsaffection and dsappoint-
ment-we had almost said of treason-we
shall content ourselves, for the present, with
saying that the crisis whilst il has, in some in
stances torn the mask of federalism from the Gorgon
front OF toryism and in others been hailed with l-
gubrous wailing by fmd and time serving politi-
clans, has generally awakened spirit Of patriotism
ard zeal for our beloved country's welfare that was
to have been expected Of high-minded frecmen
smarting under the infection of accumulated
wrongs"


But the mines of 1872 'I3, and IA are too rich to
be exhausted in one article. We shall make copious
extracts by way Of contrast between what has been
and what is, the course of the present organ
of the federal party


sLet the National fntelligencer speak for itself
Here are its own precious expressions of Thursday
last:


| Compelled to condemn the itself
unnecessary, and its orginators answerabe for all the
blood she'd the hearts that have been be
and broken and the that has been wasted
ny it, trust that arms may everywhere triumph,
victory may upon standards to the end and
then that the and sacrifices may be counted up and
| our rulers called to a reckoning"
