inc 10 see how the administration editors are
disconnected by the unwecome truths which
arc every day pressed upon the public attention
by the Wings, in regard TO the miserable poll
CIV and management Of the Jackson-Van Buren,
party. The Wings, they say, are the most
troublesome men in the world They will nei-
Their give us nor the government any peace
They are always in hot water and always in the
opposition. II was SO in the days Of John Of
Enpand. They would not rest until they OBJ
tanned from government Magma Charta, which
limited the power of the executive. II was so
in the DAYS of Charles l., when they were found
contending against the government on the same
old ground. Il was so in the days of our rev.
olution, when they were again in the opposition,
and made the then government no little troubles
and il is so now. We are in power il is true,
and have the spois--but we cannot enjoy them
in peace Every mistake of the administration
is blazed abroad, and the country has had no
peace, for these noisy Wings, since Gen. Jack
son began "to take the responsibility" They
are always watching the government with q
Jealous eye, and always afraid Of some sinister
design.
The administration men, poor souls, have
indeed their hands full, TO plaster over the de-
formites of the administration and to blind the
eyes of the people, to the true cause of their
trouble. But not the least laughable expedient,
is that which charges on the business men ofthe
country, (who, by the showing of the Van Blu
rem men themselves, are nearly all Whigs,) the
plan Of bringing on a general ruin, and aggra-
waiting the distreses of the community, for the
purpose of overturning the administrations
These Wings are so reckless, that they will
consent to fail and become bankrupt and ruined,
if so be the government can be overthrownl 7!
Like the man who, in fit of anger, goes
aud hangs himself, 10 punish his sweetheart,
because she will not marry him; or the boy who
goes to bed supperless, to plague his mother!
II is remarkable--we say remarkable, and
would that all our fellow citizens would MARX
1T, that FOR five years past and until quite late
ly, we have heard nothing from the Globe and
other administration presses and members of
Congress, but congratulations at the universal
prosperity of the country and high wrought fe-
icita,ions at the prospect before Us. General
Jackson in his messages could not refrain from
displaying high degree Of the same tone Of
exutation, while the Wing statesmen, as
long ago as 1882, s and 4, were forcwarn-
ing the people that this was a deception,
and foretelling literally the days Of darkness
which have since come upon US. These
warnings were then denounced by the Globe
and other Jackson papers as merely designed
for political effect. Surely the Wings display
ed the most consummate folly, il their design
was revolution, thus to foretell these things
Why did dot some Of the keen political wise
men Of the administration penetrate their deep
designs, and expose them TO the worId9 Why
did they not warn the people TO beware OF the
Wings, and especially why did they not guard
all was to be continued prospenty-and the
government was really so ignorant Of the true
state Of the country when the troubles came,
and so little prepared for them, that they were
actually taken by surprise, and are now invol-
we'd in the general bankruptcy and ruin. Yves,
this government ut this very moment cannot
command one twentieth part Of the public treas
ure; and let it be remembered too, the public
money is not in the hands of the Wings or
Wing Banks-t is in chosen repositories ofthe
administration party--in the hands of the faith
full themselves. Had it been in the United
States Bank, never should we have heard the
last oft. o Tempora! o Moresl When will
the dear people cease to be gulled by such shall
low humbugs about "a better currency
What pity Gen. Jackson did not remain in
Office long enough to see the contamination of
his ''humble efiorts'!
