ing of Mr.. Madison and his cabinet, you
say-"An administration, elected for its

prosecute the war till our multiplied ,Drongs
are Avenged, and our rights secured" To-
deed how patriotic. But why was not
this discovery made in 1912 ? Why did
you oppose an administration selected for
its wisdom and its virtues pn Why did you
attempt to overthrow and cast il down ?
Why did you not, in 1912, speak OF aveng.
ing our "mnltipledwrongs" and" securing
our rights ?"
In 1916 you was on similar commit.
tee. Peace had now been proclaimed 10
your reply to the governor, you say" the
war in which the nation has been involved
,ces not only righteous in lis origin, but
successful in its prosecution" Did you
or did YOU not. know in 1912, that " the
war was righteous in its origin 2" Why
was you dumb founded on the subject a.
that time ?'

New YoRK.-The course Of events in New
York gives every day stronger evidence that
the WING party will triumph in the contest a
bout to take place. The proceedings Of the Wing
State Convention were Of the most animated
character. The responsibility offs members, and
the fact that it embraced large number Of men
who but a short time since were supporters Of
the administrations good omens for the sue
cess Of ITS objects. The nomination Of Messfs.
Seward and Stilwell, will, it is believed, prove
satisfactory having been made in the spirit OF
/ compromise, and with view TO the concentra
lion ofthe wolc force Of the party upon accepta-
bic candidates The resolutions and address Of
the convention are admirably written, and cal
culated to produce great effect.
A crowded meeting Of the Wings took place
in the city Of New York, to receive the report Of
their Delegates to the State Convention. The
spirit ofthe meeting was most enthusiastic. The
New York Advocate, says, that it has never
on any occasion strongly felt the want of force
in human language as in endeavouring to de-
scribe the character Of the meeting, its numbers
and enthusiasm, and declares its inability to give
any correc. idea of the immense concoursc Of
people, or Of the spirit which prevailed among
\ them.
Mr.. James G. King Ga soa of Rufus king)
rose to report the proceedings of the Convention,
and accompanied them by speech full Of elo-
quence and patriotism. The meeting then pas
sed series of resolutions. approving the nomin-
ations made by the Convention, and declaring
+" that the candidates presented by that Conven-
ton are those whom the people will delight tc
honor and we pledge every honorable eff
fort to secure their election
So numerous the ;ssemblage of people on
this occasion that the Masonic Hall, which will
contain 1900 persons having been filled, second
meeting was organized in large room below,
and third in the street.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON

To the Editor of the N. Y. Courier s. Enquirer.
Washington, d, c., Sept. Is, 1884.
No incident has recently occurred in
this place calculated to interest or amuse
your readers. In truth, the only motive
which has prompted me now TO take up
my pen, is to point out one ofthose instan-
ces in which what was made matter OF
gravest allegation against the adminstra-
ton of Mr.. Adams, is far exceeded by the
present, without exciting the least animal
version. This instance of fo.bearance in
the Whig press, compared with the con
duct of their opponents, is characteristic
of the two parties.
You will remember, that because Mr.
Adams paid visit to Massachusetts, on
the death of his father, and one or two of
his Secretaries visited their residences
after the fatigues of Congressional scs-
sion, the jackson party nicknamed the
members OF the Administration, "the ira
ceiling cabinet" 1t is an old saying, that
"one man may steal horse with impuni-
ty. while another is hanged for looking o.
yer the hedge" and comparison of the
conduct Of the two administrations, is an
illustration of the truth of the saying
What ia the practice Of the jackson ad
ministration, in the particular in which
; they so severely condemned Mr. Adams
Let US examine. About the beginning o
the present month,
The President was away.
The Secretary of War was away.
The Attorney General was away.
The Secretary of the Navy was away.
The Second Comptroller of the 'freasu.
ry was away.
The Treasurer, was away.
The commissioner of the General Land
Office was away
The Fourth Auditor was away, all al
, the same time. The Secretary Of State
had previously been absent.
