From the Woodville Republican.
THE WING PARTY.

There does not seem to be doubt now,
but that what is called the Wing party, is
destined to overthrow the present adj
ministration. and elect an Executive OF
their own politics at the next presiden-
tial election. Although we confess we
rejoice at the prospects Of this result,
nevertheless we would forwarn The South
against any connexion with what is called
the National Republican branch of the par
ty-We mean the liberal constructionists
of the Constitution---the advocates Of the
tariff and Internal Improvement System,
etc. We must continue to insist upon the
establishment of the principles Of the
fathers Of genuine Republicanism, as pro-
muIgated in '98 and '99. We ought not
gain to fall into the infamous vice of man
worship--bigotted partizanism--but plant
ourselves behind the constitution, and be
driven from its defence by neither ''pow-
ers, principalities or thrones"
There is large portion OF mankind who
ever will cling to the "powers that be-
In republic, they would be republicans
in Monarchy, loyal subjects, and in a
Despotism, slaves. The advocates Of free
governments will ever have this inau-
ence to contend against, with all the aid
that the power and patronage of govern
ment always gives those in authority to
array on their side, the mean and the mer-
cenary.
Let us, 1--WE mean we of the SOUTH not
deceive ourselves and vainly suppose that
when the present corrupt and pro6igate
dynasty may be overthrow that we will
have nothing to do but sing hosannas to
our new rulers; far from this will be the
case-the tendency of all administrations
is to abuse the trusts confded to them
"Power is always stealing from the many
to the few."-This is general rule, true
in almost every instance. but more espe-
cially so in relation to the position which
Southern States bears to the other States
OF the confederacy--Southern institutions
and Southern interests have ever been
subjected to the injustice Of majority of
Congress, and we have no good reason to
suppose that there will be any change, un-
less we make it distinctly understood that
we have intelligence to know our rights,
and spirit enough todefend them, whether
they are assaulted by party friend or foe.

OUR MINORITY PRESIDENT.


That Van Buren, was elected by mi
nority ofthe people, is known to all who
have examined the returns ofthe last Pre-
sidental election. Not being a consolida
zionist, however, or belonging to that class
of politicians who believe that the federal
Government is based upon the principle
ofnambcrs, or that it derives its existence
from the people ofthe Union, en- nsasse, as
one amalgamated nation, we do not grum-
bic at this. He received a majority ofthe
electoral rotes, and that was sufficient to
entitle him to the chair. But let US, for
the benefit of our readers, present a state
ment Of the condition of Van Buren's CO.
minion, showing the electoral vote ne re-
ceived in 1886, and how that vote would
be cast at this time. In 1886, Van Buren,

From the Washington Chronicle.

TO THE NORTHERN REPUBLICANS.
A word in seriousness to you. The coun-
try has arrived at that state when the
great contest between exclusive privileges,
and equal rights must be determined one
way or the other. We have for many
years been approaching to this crisis.
The doctrines Of the National or Federal
party have leaned, from the first, to mo-
nopolies and exclusive privileges. All Of
us have seen and lamented this. But it
is not enough to lament i've must do
more--we must prepare to arrest the pro.
gress of these doctrines. s
Heretofore the Southern States have
been uniformly Republican--the unwaver-
ing advocates Of strict construction Of
the Observation-Disclosures Of trade--econ-
omy in public expenditures, and equality
Of rights. Your interestsand theirs have
been, and still are Identical. You are both
opposed on principle and interest to the
growth Of monopolies, and the establish
ment Of artificial distinction in society.
You are both equally interested in giving
and securing freedom to labor and prosper
ity to agricultural industry. In the pres
ent juncture Of affairs, therefore, it is your
duty and interest to act together, harmo.
niously, sincerely and zealously.
II cannot be disguised that the doctrines
Of Federalism are gaining ground in the
South. We are not now, that which we
have been, The natural tendencies of
Government to encroach on the popular
rights-the inherant proPensities in our
natures to encourage any policy that tends
to make us distinguished on account of
our weaIth-our birth--or our influence
the gradual progress of luxury and in
dulgence--the change which has taken
place in our manners, habits, and system
OF legislation, have all contributed to
strengthen The Doctrines Of Nationalism
in our borders, and to foster principles at
war with the interests ofthe many, and ia

In this calculation, we have left out
Louisiana and Pennsylvania as doubtful,
though We have no doubt but what LOUISE
ana will vote the Wing ticket. In 1885,
Van Buren, received the votes of IA States,
and the electoral vote Of 1877. In 1888,
he would only receive the vote Of z States,
and the small, contemplate electoral vote

States, with an electoral vote Of 206, 60
Ing overwhelmingly for the Wings
Thus stands the matter now. A majority
Of the States, with 206 electoral votes,
have shuf1ed off the coil Of Van Burenism,
and nobly proclaimed their dissatisfaction
with his administration. The Democracy
have had "victory" victory shouted in
their ears until they nov perceive that
they have been betrayed, and.that tleir
party is dispersed "horse, foot and dra-

Farewell, long farewell to all my greatness!

The tender leaves of hope, tomorrow blossoms,
