THE POLITICAL .sTROKE ,

4nother Signt-The Boston Gazette which lately sun
ported the Administration and is turned apostae
chuckles ut acknowledgements that the "Ancient Do.
minion has caught the fire which Massachusetts (nde-
raj massachusetts, the friend of the Tariff the Bank In
tcrnal improvement, &c. &c) has ''enlindcd OH the
glorious 10th of November that the Patriots and
Wings of that State by the expulsion of the Editor of
the Richmond Enquirer, from the confidence of the Lee
gsaturc have satisfied the people these States that
Virginia is resolved to participate in the cause of poll
.ca reformation, that the struggle in that State has
been rm and resolute the friends of General Jackson
did all that could be done by human artifce to sustain
The claims of Mr. Richie, for they knew too well that
heIprosation of that efficient Editor venerable no
cian would be the harbinger of the fall of the party
The Wings made the assault in good earnest they were
firm and undivided and the issue has proved that cor
rect principles and viruous patriotism, united are i'm
Pegnable, and will ever triumph! !-That Old Vireinia
has responded to the cry of Massachusettsth with
this patriotic people (the Wings of Virginia) it is
equally the interest and the duty of the Whigs of the
North TO unite; and what there prevent consum-
nation so devouty to be prayed or' Shall it be said
hereafter, that because those gallant patriots with
all proper grace the "odiouS appelation of Nifers
that their ovcrtures TO forward and assist the
wings OF the North in the great work of political rege
neraton, rejected? We hope for the credit of the
age in which live and for the credit of the intei-
gence OF the people, it may not be said in after times
at the patriots OF the United States did unite in the
year 1884 for the good of the country; simply because
they disagreed ON minor questions and less important
snbctslet the Wings the North and the South and
the West unite for the achievement of common good
and let not the question Of State Rights and
divide them When the insulted Constitution of the coun
y rs wrested from the hands of usurpaton it will be quite
Tune enough Tor us TO quarrel about abstract questions
Let the motto of the Wings of the United States where
they may be found be- "L,IpERry-IJxIox ,yn
LIBERTY. The Gazette says further
That "There are noble and gallant spirits in the South
whom we all have applauded and honoured: They are
statesmen Of sterling integrity and of uninchin0 oatri
otsn they have been tried and found possess rncss
decision and virtue. And let such men as Calhoun
Preston, Leigh, Mangum and Pondexter be denounced
by the narrowminded and ignorant account of their
