WIG PRINCIPLES.

The Wings are for equal rights in all
things. They hold that the will of the ma.
Jorlty must govern--that public Offices
should be distributed for the good of the peo-
pie, and not for the benefit Of Office holders
They are opposed TO all partial and unequal
legislation, which has tendency TO benefit
the few and injure the many. They are
opposed to all monopolies, whereby ndivid-
uals are made richer, and the public poorer
They are in favor of economy in public ex-
penditures, both state and national They
are alarmed at the enormous increase in the
expenses OF the general government, since
l'en jackson came into power; an increase
from less than thirteen millions. to over thir-
ty-two millions OF dollars annually, and they
are determined not 10 relax their efforts un.
I'll The same is retrenched and reformed
The Wings are in favor ola sound curren-
cy, composed Of both specie and paper ; the
latter, at all times TO be convertible into spe-
Gle at the will ofthe holder They are in
favor of the credit system whereby the hon
est, industrious, and capable poor man, may
stand on level withthe rich, and embark
in any honorable and profitable business,
with no capital but integrity and capacity
with benefit 10 himself, and safety TO those
with whom he deals
They are opposed 10 placing all the pub
lie moneys which belong 10 the people in
the hands Of the President, or in the hands
of officers appointed by the President, 10 be
used by them for electioneering purposes,
giving the Executive the whole control oil
the finances of the country, and virtually
uniting the purse and the sword the hands
Of one man; consequently they were, and
are opposed to the Sub-Treasury Bill
These, fellow citizens, are the principles
which the wings openly avow-and which

We present these statements and results
not to mar the triumph Of our friends nor to

to make manifest the absolute. necessity of
unrcmitted and rcdoubled exertions if we hope
to retain what we hive now fortunately ac-
quircd. No stratagcms are too base, no in
fractions Of the law too outrageous for the
administration party to adopt, in the struggle
to retrieve their losses. The battles we have
passed through-thc exertions we have made
are nothing to what VIC must pass through
and make during the coming three years, to
maintain the ground we now occupy. The
triumph will not be complete until the re-
election of Martin Van Buren is defeated, and
competent and patriotic incumbent is placed
in the Presidential chair. That the Wings
have it in their power-that they have the
actual strength--to achieve this glorious re-
suit, we do not doubt-but let them be assur-
ed, it will require the exercise Of all their
vigilance. the concentration Of all their cner-
gies, to effect consummation SO "devoutly
to be wished."--- Boston Alias.

cIRCUMsrANCEs ALTER CASES.

The apathetc cocduct of this adminstra-
ton in the case of Maice and her disputed
territory, presents most remarkable con.
trast TO the solicitude of the President and
his advisers in the case Of Georgia ana the
Cherokees. In the latter instance, noble
tribe of indians ore ruthlessly plundered OF
their lands,-missionaric from the North are
whipped and imprisoned for going amongs,
them with the most innocent intentlons-and
gentlemen of the highest worth and re-
srec liability is treated with the indIgni'y OF a
felon because he has accepted OF the hospl-
tality of one OF the chiefs in travelling through
the country. All these outrages are coun-
tonanced and sanctioned by our government
and most sedulous md officious disposl.
ton is manifested to cater for the cruel and
avoricious oppetites ofthe land harpies Of the
south. On the pretcnce Of tres,y, notori,
opsly fraudulent and ridiculous, the lands oi
the Cherokccs are seizcd--snd an army OF
wen Thousand men is sent to put down all
attempts at resistance! So much for Georgia.

There 10 one consideration, which should
not be lost sight Of in contemplating the re-
suit Of recent elections throughout the coun-
try. IL is evident, that in almost every In
stance,we have conquered,not by diminishing
the numbers ofeur opponents,bu by bringing
out our own entire strength. ln Connecticut,
the loco-focos have polled nearly as large
vote as ever. In New Hampshire they poll
ed larger aggregate vote than they have
hitherto thrown-and in the city Of New
York they brought out an unprecedented ar
ruy Of strength. These facts 60 TO show that
the corruptionlsts have not slackened their
exertions, no more than their numbers have
been diminished. Extraordinary causes have
stimulated the Wings to bring out their
strcngth-and to this we are indebted for our
present successes. We have hardly scotch
ed" the snnke--it is absurd to imagine we
have killed it.
1t Is idle to suppose that the fight is fought
and the victory won. We have to contend
with foe constantly organized and constant
y on the alert, impelled by the promise Of
patronage and the prospect Of plumber. We
always go into the field with the disadvanta-
ges of raw militia opposed to paid and dis.
clpincd troops. The power and patronage
of the Executive can always keep this army
full and complete. They are defeated only
to rally again with increased forces. Let us
not then lay down our arms in fatal security.
Perpetual vigilance can alone be the price Of
our ultimate triumph.
Let us not forget tho lesson, which may
be derived f. ON The political experiences of
the year 1884. Such was the general ndig-
nation pervading the country, consequent up
on the removal of. the deposites and the ar
btrary seizure of the purse by the Executive,
that had the elections taken place in the
spring of that yeor instead of the fall, there
cannot be doubt that the Wings would have
carried three fourths of the Union by sweep
ing Inajorities. But the elections taking place
in the autumn, our opponents had time to raj
ly in their full strength. The Wings conf
dent of success, and relying upon the effect
of causes, which would have operated so
strongly six months before, securely nntici-
pated, in many instances, an easy victory
over their ever active opponents. But the
result showed that their exertions, noble as
they were, were not commensurate with the
extent Of their danger, and the adminstra-
ton again succeeded, by the aid of their
officc.holders and janissaries, in battling and
defeating the will of the democracy Of num-
bers--for that the Wings have virtually bccn
the majority, for she last FIVE years, we do
not entertain doubt.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIPS.

A new era in Atlantic navigation,
dates from this 23d Of April, on which
we have the pleasure OF recording the
arrival from England of the British
steam packets Sirius and Great West
ern, in the extraordinary passages of
II and IA days. The Sirius came up
early this morning, and the Great
Western was announced to be in sight
at about IL o'clock. We learn from
passengers on board the Sirius, that
her performance as sea boat, during
very stormy and trying passage, has
been most admirable, and such as fully
to equal the highest expectations of her
owners and commander.
Although large vessel-very near
ly equal in tonnage to our Liverpool
packet ships--the Sirius is but pig
my compared with the great steam ship
the "British Queen" Of 1890 tons,
which was to be launched soon after
the sailing of the Sirius, and belonging
to the same owncrs-the British and
American Steam Navigation Company"
which has entered upon this great
business with strength of means and
a liberalty of expenditure promising
the most splendid and profitable results.
The " British Queen" is said to be n
masterpiece of naval architccture--of
most beautiful model and extraordinary
strength and solidity. -
The builders, Messrs. Curling and
Young, have had carte te-blanche, we un-
dcrstand, for every requisite to securi-
ty against the perils of ocean naviga-
ton, as well in point of expense as of
time in building Immediately after
launching she was to be taken to Glas-
gov, to receive her engines, which
have been constructed by Napier, who
ranks among the first in England. In
a word we arc prepared to see in this
great vessel the ne plus ulira of naval
architecture.
N. B. Our readers will probably no
tice the change of name from the
|" Royal Victoria " to the " British
Queen This change has been made
by the directors in consequence Of the
disaster on board the new Hull steam
packet "Victoria, noticed in the Com
mercial Advertiser of Saturday.

RECEPTION II or THE LOCO FOCO EX
PRESS FOR WASHINGTON.

The correspondent Of N. Y. American

result was made known:-
WAsnISeroS, April I6, 1888.
The "gad ,idings" brought by the special
messenger on Saturday, almost threw the
Locos into commissions, "Have we got both
Boards 2" asked one. 10 yes" exclaimed
another "and the Mayor Clark only get in
by the skin of his teeth" "Well, II that isn't
capital" said, third; 'last year the Admin
istrstion were too careless, but this time
they've pitched into the Wings with vcn-
geance."
On the arrival Of Mr.. Noble, all business
in the House was suspended, and the Gene
rails, Colonels and Corporals Of the party
drumm'd up their forces ard went to CHR
ruping most delightfully."-. Much eating was
done that night, the tavcrns and refectorics
were thronged, and oysters were swallowed
by scores, all in honor ofthe "glorious demo-
cratic victory over the Wings" Some, more
hungry than the rest. actually proposed eat

and not finger is raised in her behalf! The
poor feeble Chcrokees may be seized and
chained and scourged and torn from their
valuable lands TO crafty the avarice or carry
out the policy Of Georgia. But when the
subjects of England,-ofthe "proud isle" as
Mr.. Kendall calls her--intrude into the.yery
heart Of our territory in Maine, and seize and
imprison the citizens Of Maine-the most
abjcct pusllanimiiy and indifference arc
manifested by the administration. What O
contrast in the two cases
We see in this contrast, however, the
working of the avowed policy Of Mr.. Van
Buren--nomely, to carry the South by yield
ing every thing to their demands, and to car.
ry the North by party machinery. Citizens

THE GREAT WESTERN.

We announced yesterday, in post
script, that large steam ship was tele-
graphed, which was, without doubt the
Great Western. About half past two
o'clock this was ascertaincd to be the
fact, and before o'clock she rushed
up the East River in fine style; and
after passing the navy yard, returned
and came to anchor off fPikc street.
This fine steamer has performed her
trip within the period mentioned by the
most sanguine friends of the measure
l5 days. The passengers speak in
high terms of her as sea boat-in-
deed it is perhaps praise enough to say
that her motion was so trifling as to OBJ
viatc the usual necessity, during the
passage, Of employing the ordinary
frame work to secure the dinner iurni-
turc to the table.
We have received by this arrival full
supplies of papers-London to the eve
