Pinckney of South Carolina, by his Wing friends for his
supposed abandonment Of their party, and tattet him
self that his situation is not much more unenvlable or
Valny Imagine lIat Vile, no Slaln cah
soil his ermne The conduct Of the Wings in taking
up Judge White proves that they notat all scrupu QUE
about the that they use to accomplish any political
object, and but for the anatcism which seems to have
obscured their nteccts they would hardly have been so
inconsderae, 10 charge that objectionable sin in
Others which they commit without hesitation them
selves.
This fact is more than enough balance all Of their
charges about corruption, &c Is it in accordance with
the spirit of Government for the weaker party aim
defeat the stronger, If not upon principle, then by
craft? That to bride partisan to desert, by the allure
mens Of office is not cprehens'be when practised by
the Wings; NOR is abandonment of their prnci-
pies to CRAFTY their thirst for Office, and to attach them
selves to the skirts OF any mans coa-ail, who can
lead them to victory, even to those OF rank Jackson
mans one who advocated the bloody force BILL who
sustained the removal of the depostes, the abeitor of
despvt and The political associate OF magician,
illustrative Of any thing, but tke purest and most dis
interested prtrioSn that the yllcst hullowcu,
when dedicated TO the advancement OF the Wings. Gan
the people witness The arrogance the presumption, the
prenzy the folly Of those who act upon such principles
and be charmed by their zeal ntndaed by their party,
L. dipped by their knaycry: The American People are not
in the habit os :ak i iT granted that any set
of men, are the rcul Simon PurcS, because torsooh
they freely mpugn the honesty Of another set of men.
They are not such ignoranuSes. Both in private and
public life, we too frequently meet with wolves in sleeps
clothing, to he Gull - s::! shallow devices. In This
country We neither call I moral, because lie attends
church. re!ig ous because h. has prayers; will we
credit the voccratons llnuialons. The assrYeratlons
can point to magnanmons patriotic achievement,
to vouCh for their Observation-Disclosures and party really,
one would think by looking at Of the articles in
the various public papers, that in the habit of
awarding the PALM OF integrity and public credence 10
him or to those, who deal out the grossest SANDER
and the most reckless distortion Of facts. But however
much the tanatca the daring asprant for public
toriey, political ecvation may be influenced by such
Illusions cannot but hope, that the people will own
them Us heretofore into insinifcancc and contempt
Assuming the fact that Judge White can be elected, to
the exclusion of Van Buren,, and that corrupt may
sustain the latter cadidatc by proves that
Judge White has not, is not, or will not be also slls
tanned by at least many corrupt men, AS regards the
purity OF the he Van Burcn parties, ii there be
any just grounds for turning the scale, surely it must
preponderatc in favor of the latter For Mr.. Van Buren,
is sustained BY Administration almost entirely. |
Hardly Wing, do not know one, will vote for him.
lie is advocated the Administration and Democratic
Republican candidate; Judge White as the Wing and
Opposition candidate. The friends of the former sus-
tain him, because he rh them IN opinion, both
as regards the theory and operation of the Government
Those of the latter give him their support because he
eoneurS acM them in the theory and operation Of the CO.
vernment, but purely because they car more successfully
use him to deat his political party than any OF their
Wing friends. So if the Wings and Judge White
coed, either he must administer the Government upon
the Jackson or the Wing principles. But II Van Buren,
trumphs why, being the candidate Of the Admnisra-
ton party, and being Administration man himself he
WILL Of COURSE administer the government to suit his
friends, because III doing he would be acting in
COrdance WIN MS own political principles van
Buren, party do not seek TO conquer By dividing their
opponents much less by tickling The imbecilty OF any
Wing TO convert him into instrument 10 defeat
his own political party. There is something too repug-
nant TO the feeling of chivarouS and patriotic party
for entertain the belief, that they would sloop
such means, even they assured by doing that
victory would perch upon their banners But the Wings
on the other hand admit, that they cannot elect Wing
and by their conduct they prove that they are willing
and anxious to subver the vcsy spirit Of our institutions.
For one OF our leading principles u.s. that the li
certalned MINORITY ought to govern Now if the Wings
succeed in seduclng fragment Of the Administration
party to AID them IN obtaining the eins Of government
surely il would require gumen TO prove that they
would give Wing Administration when majority
of the people would have ad but for their being trickcd
out of it, very different Administration In this case
our country would be governed by a minority party
Such thing has occurred, and may happen again But
that it is wrong in principle, think the co,sdtrae Of all
ma rtes will admit Thus j, follows the V Buren, party
maintains and will continue TO maintain its integrity
and act upon the principles of the party, and the
Uhies are deserving their principles in their cGgcrntss
yet into Oicc, and attach themselves 10 ant
drectu opposite their urtkcr0ace Of hut object,
,hat The charge of coalition intrigue and corruption could
.c business and propriry alone be preferred against ne
jphig party. ~
One would think in listening to portion of the Wing
,ipe, and nothing for Office. But when you hear other
sections of their creed you perceive that ia practice
hey pay little regard to their political principles as
my other Of asprants, notwithstanding their buster
pg and barney They 60 for the helm Of Stale, and
to be had not country people believe by preach
ng and practising upon the Wing principles alone; for,
+ that will not suffice, why they must strike up SOME
retext for obtaining it any how or in any way.-The
onduct of the Wings demonstrates conclusrey, that
,ey battle more for Office than for the fair and honest
indication of their principles
AS they pirate so much about others offering violence
the Constitution liberty, and republican Institutions
ey ought at least to be willing to abide by the ustness
intelligence and discretion of the people, and be the
nv last to wish to defeat the wishes of aorty be-
use they were adverse to their principles. What S
ould the Wings think of such conduct, they the
aor instead OF the minor pary 1t seems, TINT it is
