The present position of the whig party is exceedingly amusing to quiet observers Pledged beyond the possibility of redemp- tiou to restrictive tariffs, and all the other means which have been, one after another, condemned by the people, the politicians seize with wonderons ayldity upon any cir cumstance which may possibly divert the public attention from their errors. The pco- pie are not, however. to be so easily blinded. lt Is well known 10 them that not a single whg prellctieH, in respect to lhe practical operation oi the revenue tariff of lS4G, the independent tnasury bill, and the warehouse bill has been verified.

 While their country is engaged in war; have the whigs rallied to the support of the government, ibreetfal of party and only anxious for the honor and glory of our com mon country? Alas, no. As party, Jand only as party, for there have been many and brilliant exceptions they have opposed the war, thwaned the administration in every possible way, paralyzng it's efforts, and encouraging ale enemy by t.leir factious course.

Indeed 10 such lengths dd they go that the Mexican papers republshed their declarations in order to show what were the sentiments of lhe great whig parry in the United States.

 For ourselves we say that no inconsid- crate movements on the part of designing partisans shall aduce us To detract one ioia from the well-e,rned lame of Gen Taylor To SOW dIssension between him and the administration, and, if possible, to provoke the democratic press to attack him, are now the objects To effect which the whigs are ttSit. aiEtitetr -eiiprts.- Inevitable failure awaits their unyise and unpatriotic labors.
