Our officers on the Rio Grande felt this. The time had come when they might vindicate theirj names and that of their profes. sion from the charges brought against them. And nobly have they vindicate themselves. Look at the dead ! Look at the wiounded ! See what the living accomplish ! Four superior of ficers were killed on the field of battle, and 12 severely wounded Colonels, majors, captains, and lieutenants were among the slain or the wounded. Every twentieth man, who received a shot was a commissioned officer ; and among those who fell were the flower of the army. Alnd the living what did they rot do ?

And for this it isf tbat the Union and its satelites are endeavoring to array the Whigs against the 'country. But they will be disappointed. The Whigs will not only vote all the necessa ry supplies, (unanimously when not cou pled with a falsehood) but they will fight the battles of their country too. There is one thing, however, that they will not do. They will not support Polk and his'party which have unnecessarily plunged us in this war. They make a distinction be tween the Administration and the Coun try. The latter they are always ready to support and defend. Fay.

Another correspondent of the same pa- The "jUnion " and other organs of the ad ministration, shower down upon us Whigs tor rents of abuse, because we will not identify their Mr. Polk with the country, and support him, as well as the war, in which he has un constitutionally, unadvisedly, and rashly engag ed us. . TheyT forsooth, seem to expect us to consider him our country, and to support him as well as that country. We shall do no such thing. We scorn him more than ever, for clan, destinely involving us in a war, which he had not courage enough of himself, to recommend Congress, nor foresight enough to provjdo for when intended and provoked. The war was made to steal upon us, and upon the trade and commerce of the" country all unprepared, when we had every reason to believe our difficulties with Mexico were blown over, and on the eve of amicable adjustment. i As for ourselves, we have marked out our course, and we shall pursue it without turning ta4he right or left, because we think the course is right. We shall support the war, but we and settled minds, whose characters are fully established, and could have no need of uselessly taking up time in political speeches for silf promotion. They would rather devote themselves to the "actual wants of their constituents, and consulting their interest alone, would direct their ef--Ayrts to promote their wellfare. We are, therefore, well pleased withour candi dates, and have no doubt they will receive the' undivided support of the Whigs. No objection can be raised against them, but there is much to be admired in them as gentlemen, happily qualified for the sta tions to which they yield their services. LOCOFOCO MISREPRESENTATION.
