POLITICAL.
A TEsr.--The Richmond Wing gives as u test of
mans honesty and of his disposition TO support Judge
White a candidate for the Presidency in opposition 10
the nomination of the National Convention his having
differed from the President in particular He
may have supported the President and agreed with him
IN opinion IN every particular except one and he
would be perfectly patriotic and would be qualified
act as supporter of Judge White. Then he would be
terect Wing He have opposed the recharterng of
the Bank approved ofhe removal of the Depostcs
Tor the Force Bill and applauded the sentiments
on the Presidents Proclamation and Protest. Of that
f hsNlessage relating affairs with France and of
very measure which the Opposition have denounced
ioatons of the Constitution and ruinous the country
put IT in some solitary instance he has differed from the
President that difference wipes away all his errors
and makes him genuine Wing, and fits him to become
advocate for the election of Judge White the Presdcn
cy. How extremely LIBERAL What noble hearted con-
isen amabe and honest fellows the opponents of
Ihe Administration. They stand with open arms ready
rnd anxious to receive to their embrace and
man who can make it appear that he has in some
solitary instance differed from the President What
more could any man desire? 1t displays degree of re
nerosy, truly unparalleed and if they do by such
display oflberalty make proselytes it indeed be
very extraordinary. The Wing declares that the Oppo-
ston pretend to entertain strong prediction for
Judge White they affect rapurous devotion to his
person, and unqualified confidence in his principles
and that they will nevertheless support his election How
very accommodating And there is something so We
ry extraordinary in the declaration that they will support
man Tor whom they entertain strong predilection
for whose person they affect devotion, and in whose
principles they have unqualified confidence the edi-
tor thinks ii necessary declare which he does i'm the
most positive terms, that there trick intended by
their protesting willingness support him under all
these circumstances. And these are the mon who
pretend TO talk about principle, consistency honesty
and devotion to the interest and honor of the counrv
If what they have asserted of the pursued by
Judge White true he has done all in his power TO
ruin and disgrace the country and yet they tell that
they would elect him to the Presidency This would be
very patriotic it would display wonderful degree of
consistency manests great regard for the prosperity
and honor of the country would afford an admirable
exhibition OF their principles. Reader what say YOU is
not this sufficient to disgust any honest man. and cause
him to abhor, deest and oppose party who can thus

honest and honorable feeling? Does it not show that
they are utterly unworthy of public confidence esteem
or respecE If any thing were needed to convince the
community that the opponents of the Administration
dishonest IN their professions, and false in their repre-
sensations of acs and circumstances their present pro-
lessions oil Willingness to support the election of Judge
White to the Presidency would be amply sufficient TO
remove every shadow of a doubt.-Bah. Rep.
