Corwin On The War

In a lotter of April 4 o a a gentleman n N. York, Senator Corwin maUes some remarles by wliich it appears thnt all the leading Whigs of the Senate acUnowlcdged the ipjuttice, folly,aiid wastefulness of the war, and yet voted tueutyeight millions in money, and tens of thousnnds of men to carry it on! Mr. Corwin writof-, - "I feit, os strongly as any one could, the responsibility I assumed. I difFered with all the leading Whigs of the Senate, and aw plainly that ihey all were to some extent, bound to turn, if the) could, the current of the public opinión aeainst me. Tlwy all agreed with me that the u-as unjust on our part ; that ifproperly hegun, which none of tiicm admitled, we had alrcady sufficicntly chastiscd Mexico, and that furlher proseculijn of il was wanton waste of hoth blood and treasure; yel they toould nol underiake to stop it.

I am arnazed that a poople calling itself Democratie - hating kings.and loving free government, should act thus. What does it pprtend! I confess it filis me with melanchly foreboding." We cannot ngreo with iho Advertiser to denouncc the Massachusetts Senate for rejecting the voto of thanks to Gen. Tav lor. If ('ren. Taylor was at home attending' to hi.i cotton and sugnr nnd providing for the comfort of his negroos and ollier live stock, lic would, in our opinión, bo better entitled to the
