the dreams and hopes of the Patriot editor
can be realized like true philosopher,
then, he should stop crying, wipe up, and
be n mani Again we think we can assure
the editor that the Wings VIII be "iair"
TO Mr. Van Buren, We mean, and have
meant, not to condemn him unheard-and
we hope that, if we cannot shut our eyes
10 lis faults we may dea out to HIM all
that Justice, tempered with all the kindness,
which he deserves, or may deserve. If he
shall abandon the obnoxious measures and
principles which he and his party have
hitherto supported, and we with the Wings
have strongly opposed-if he shall turn
right about and go with us, we can consis-
tently, and will, support his administration
TO the end of the term-though we would
despse him for his inconsistency, and strive
to fill his place with a man who would not
by such sudden and complete somerset
disgrace the nation aud himself Again the
Patriot will see that principles and meas
ares are the stumbling blocks over which
all honest Wigs will assuredly fall, if
they desired never so much TO support Mr..
Van Buren,.
1t seems TO be a part of the Patriots
lamentaton that already the Wings are
arrayed against the new administration
