or The London Times, the high tory


organ Of Great Britain, lately contained an


article arguing 10 the effect that " the 60


yernment Of Mr.. Polk" could not rely up.


ON the support or assistance of that "large


and respectable" portion constituting " all


but numerical majority of the populace'


known as the whlg party, in case Of arup-


ture with Great Britain or Mexico, and 10


sustain The position, notes the warmth with


which the presses and leaders of that par.


ty assail and villify the President--take
the Mexican and British sides Of the con-


troversies--even after a majority of the


people, sovereign in this Union, had sane


toned the avowed policy Of the President.


The article has created quite a iuttering
among the federal presses In this country.
The New Orleans Tropic (mpelled at last
by asense of awakening patriotism labors
hard 10 convince the London organ that he


is entirely pistaken," and utters many
pretty sayings about " our country" with
liberal sprinking Of heroics--brimstone,
fire and fury. Others whig papers, too,
have thought il necessary 10 say that the
London editor carries his assumptions en-
tirely 100 far. We congratulate ourselves
that we do not belong to a party whose
presses find it necessary to make such dis
chalmers and we hope the conduct Of the
leaders of the democracy may never be
such as TO afford even ground Of suspicion
of opposition TO the Foreign policy of the
government, after that course of policy has
received the sanction Of the majority Of
Ihe people. No democrat would be SO base
is to charge that the mass Of the whig par
y lack in loyalty and devotion to their
country; but whether they may not be
carried to unjustifable, deplorable lengths
" unscrupnlous leaders, is another ques-
ion. 1t is time for patriotic, well-mean-
ng wings to pause and reflect.
