The Rich. Wing is greatly annoyed that the
Wings of New England will still persist, in kee-
ping before the public as a Candidate for the
Presidency. the name OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
The Wing perceivcs very clearly the 'mots
that perverts and obscufes bis neighbors' VISION,
but has no suspicion of the beam in his own eye
If they could see as he sees, clearly, and strong
ly so as TO embrace the whole political field shey
would at ouce abandon their own great iesaer'
and their principles and adopt the WhIsN Gun
ming scheme of breaking down the Jackson party I,
by electing one OF its own men in spite Oh ~
teeth. The Jackson party, composed originally
Of the most discordant and Heterogeneous mater..
ais, is at length fairly broken into two unequal
fragments; and they are making war upon each
other in the most cordial cut throat spirit magi.
nable. Martin Van Buren, has placed himself al
the head OF one Of these, and Hugh Lawsoa
White, has suffered himself TO be placed at the
head OF the other, apparently the weaker Of the
two. The Richmond Wing seems 10 think that
the Wing party ought to rush headlong into the
melee, turn the tide of the fight, K cause victory
TO perch on the White banner. Cui bono? What
is tobe gained? Il the question 10 put, not merely
Interference 10 the chance Of getting office by those
Wings who may chance TO want it, but in refer
ence to the interests Of the country, which has Q
good government, and only wants that govern
ment wisely and well administered. We are
grayely told that Senator White is an honess
man, For the sake Of argument, admit that be IS.
II follows, that he was honestly and sincerity
the private and personal as well as politIeai
friend OF Andrew Jackson long before Van b.
rem thought il prudent TO unite himself VITA
Jackson's as the strongest party. He is an orr
ginal Jacksonite' dyed in the wool. II an hon
est man, he must have been the sincere and con
scientous, as he was he was the steady invaria'
Bile supporter, of all the measures of Jacksons
administration--not excepting one OF those most
loudly denounced by the Richmond Wing ap9
the Wing party, until within six weeks Of Inc
close Of the last session Of Congress. II the Alcl:
mond Wing and the Wing party were ilgns
IN denouncing the innovations oil the Jackson
party as mischievous and dangerous a. aM
persuaded they were, what does tae "hs
think OF Judge White by whom they were sup
ported and defended? Is il not clear that he 81
red through want Of judgement, as il seems U ~
admitted that he did not Though want OF homes
ty! If the man was and is honest, il results W
eyitably. that, in the event ofhis election, ~
must continue to parsae the same measures, aaa
Il the Wing be right in the assertion that nf1'
Webster has not's even possible chance -ao.o'
lately, undeniably. and demonstrably nome
we have before us the sober certainty OF ha'iss
the worst and most obnoxious measures Of JacA'
sons reign carried out'' in the next adminil'
tration, either by an honest well meaning iool,
who deems Them right, and adopts them WA
sheer love Of truth and justice, or by cnnnhs
knaye, who adopts them with sinister and ssllsa
views, knowing them to be wrong,
