WINGS! LOOK ALOFT!

Two years ago Martin Van Buren, was
elected President, having about $4,000
majority Of the 100000 vores cast in the
Union, counting South Carolina as moth.
ng. Let us see how he has prospered
,lnce.
In 1886, he carried NJ AINE, by 5000

$1,000 on "A meagre vote Tor President -
It the late election, he succeeded by about
5000 illegal votes in 80 ,000--Whig pos
Tive gain 1000.

MASSACHUSETTS, went against him
by 5000. Last election, $4,000. Wing
gain 10000.
VERMONT gave 1000 against him
in the state election, which so discourse
ged his partisans that they d d not turn
out TO vote for President, and the Wings
had 5000 majority, though they poied
less votes than two months before. Real

No PARTY MEN.-The celebrated Dean
Swift, in a passage III one OF his essays,
thus felicitously hits off The true charac.
ter Of a "no-parly men," -Nationat Intel.
Hgencer.
"A Man OF NO PARTy.-Whocver give
himself this character, you may depend
upon it, is Of party; but it is such party
as he is ashamed to own. For, even while
he says he is of no party, you may observe
from the whole drift of his discourse that
heis plainly prejudiced in favor ofone party,
and that, too always the worst. And the
true reason OF his declaring is, that he
thinks the party mol get STRING enough to
protect him The justice of the cause for
the goodness Of the intention seems 10 be
wholly out Of this gentIeman's scheme.
The only distinction he goes by is to be
politically Of no party, that he may be Oc-
cdsionaiiy of either. Others there are,
who are really Of a party, and don't know
it they carry On designs, which are kept
secret from them: and these indeed are
such insignificant tools ofa party thai they
may properly enough be said TO DO of no
party; they are machines purely passive,
and without any will Of their own, obey the
impulse of the wheel that moves them.
But you shall never hear man of true
principles say he is man of no party; he
declares no is Of party, it resou,ely to
stand by and defend the Constitution must
be called being of party. But the other
party, il seems, must be divided into two
sorts: those who are Of party, and those
who are Of no party at all. With the
gentlemen whoapply this litter expressi n
TO themselves, would beg leave TO reason
thus: either they are OF party, or they
are not; tthey are they prevaricate gross
I ~ mot to use more unmannerly expires.
stony while they give out the contrary; if
they arc not, they ought to be ashamed Of

From the EVoodpille Republican.


The following article is from the New
York Wing, giving statement oIwhat is
the actual gam aud loss of the two po|itl-
cal parties which divide this country. We
believe the statement to be correct and i'm
partial. II canine, be denied that the Van
Buren, party have abundant cause Tor
their rejoicing, particularly at the nor
thern elections, Notwithstanding The Hat
tering results in this article m favor Of the
WhigS,-The administration was alarm
ed al the prospect OF total annlhiIatlon, b.
fore they could bring their system to ma
turty-Fhis was our only hopc,--b1t we
have been disappointed. The Treasury
noIa system and the large appropriations
BY the last Congress for Internal Improve
m,ns, and other purposes. have re-insta-
ted the adminlsiralion--Their popularity
is growing, and will continue 10 grow, at
the North, in proportion to tbe increase
OF the expenditures OF the gove'nnent.
Not long before the Ohio elections, we
heard a conversation between two gentle
men Of the wing party, in regard TO the
probable result of the elections Of that
state. One observed that he considered
the result the election there, as beyond
Idoubt--thal the astounding corruption an |
extravaganza Of the admimstfa lon, expo
sed in Mr.. Bonds speech, would surely
have an irresistible effect in diScomfitng
its authors. The other replied, what you
consider will be the caus to overthrow
the administration will DO lis strongest
support. Ohio Is n tax.receVing-not
a tax-paying state. The industry of The
citizens OF Ohio, is not taxed one cent to
pay the expenses of the government
She sells her horses, mules, provisions and
where she peaSeS, without
paying one cent Of the eXtravagant ey
pendilures Of the goveramen-while |
there is large amount eXpende with
her.-Thus she would be quarrelllng with
her own bread and butter, TO 20 with Mr.. |
Bond and oppose the extravaganza aud
profigacy OF the government This vi W
81 the subject it is true is not very c,ed-
able to the enlightened patriotism ofOhio,
ont the history Of The American System
proves 10 us, that it is correct. They re-
,eived all the benefits and bur few OF the |
BURDENS Of that System-and 1t is precise
y thhs with the present one:-Corrup-
ion and extravaganza cost them little
md yields them much--thereiore they
ire for il.
lie, us take Mississippi and Ohio, for H.
usrration--suppose they each produce Is
Millions eff dollars annually, the former
sells the products Of her industry abroad,

expenditures Of the govern
latter sells hers at home and
ion't pay one cent of taXes--iurther, the
taxes levied on the products Of MiSsIssip-
pi, is MOI dsbrrsed within her territory,
Dut in Ohio and other northern and north
western slales--'rhus The system works:
There is great reason why Mr.. Bombs
speech should turn the Stale of Mississippi
ri against the Administration, but lis ten.
lency would undoubtedly be the reverse
on OHIO, unless indeed "the heart OF man
has ceased 10 be where the treasury is"

ORIGINAL ANECDoTE.---A jolly set OF
lrishmen, boon companions and sworn
brothers, had made up their minds to leave
the sold sod, "and wend their way TO Amer
lea. They were five in number; two Pad
dies, one Murphy, one Dennis and one
Teague. Ii so happened that the vessel
they were 10 go in could onlytake four Of
them. At length honest league exclaim-
ed, "Arrah! have it. Wen cast lots to
see who shal! remain But one OF the
Paddles swore it was not ''jonteel 10 do
that thing" "You know, league, (said
he) that am an arathmaticiaa, and can
work it out by the rule Of su6straetioa
which is a great deal better. But you
must all agree 10 bide by the figures" All
having pledged themselves to do so, Pat
proceeded We'll, then--lake Paddy from
Paddy, you can't; but take Dennis from
Murphy and league remains. BY my
sow, league, my jewel, and it's you that

TROUBLE In THE CAMP.
From the Mississippian of the 9th ms

From the Mississippian of the 9th inst,
We Gull the following important items:
"Daniel W. Wright, has resigned the
Office Of Judge Of the High Court of En-
rors and Appeals, the resignation to take
effect on the frs, day of December next"
"The following members of the House
of Representatives have also resigned:
"James NJ. Trussel, of Kemper; Benz. B.
Barnes, Of Marion; Rufus T. Draughan,
Of Perry;and Jesse McAlee, of Covington.
ELECTIONS TO fill the vacancies in KEN
per and Marion have been ordered on the
Sd and 4th, and in Perry and Covington
on the 18th and 18th December next"
"James +. Trotter has resigned his seat
in the Senate ofthe United States.
"Rumor says that the Hon. j. F. Trot-
ter will receive the appointment of Judge
ship to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation Of the Hon. D. w. Wright.
"No appointment has yet been made to
succeed to the vacant seat of Mr.. Trotter."
The above scraps contain the founda-
ton of a new volume OF the ''decline and
fall" Of Van Burenism in Mississippi. If
common report be correct, the only sub
slantal service which Judge Wright has
done the State, since he has held the hon
orable title, consisted in relieving the
Treasury annually OF $4,000 of the SIRE
deemable.'' The interest Of the State
long since called for his resignation; and
the urgent necessity of providing a place
for Mr.. Trol,er has, at length accomplish
ed what the welfare of the people Hitherto
IN vain demanded. The late designations
Of members the legislature have proba-
bly, been brought about by the moving OF
the people in relation to the election orU. S.
Senator. The counties of Kemper, Marion,
Perry, and Covington were all represent
ed by democrats, who voted for Mr.. Trot-
ter, at the last session of the Legislature.
On the 23d and 24th of last month, KEN
per filled vacancy by electing wing o.
yer loco-foco-this accounts for the re-
slgnaton Of Mr.. Trussel, Perry is decided
ly anti-Van Buren, at this time. This fact
and the increasing popularity of Mr.. Hen
derson in Marion and Covington, account
for the designations Of Messrs. Barnes, Nc
Atee and Draughan. At the last session
OF the Legislature, three votes taken from
Mr.. Trotter would have defeated his cleo
ton; since that time the Wings have gain
cd four and lost one, which secures the
three votes requisite to defeat the election
ofany democratic Senator. Mr.. Trotter's
resignation has therefore been peculiarly
well-timed. The change that has been
effected in the politics of the County in
which he resides, in connection with the
"signs Of the tmes'' in other portions of
the State, had, no doubt, due influence
IN determining the Hon. Senator against
continuing TO be a candidate for an office,
when'he people had given such plain hints
'ha' his services would not much longer
bs required. Mr.. Trotter's intercourse
with Van Buren, and the head Of the Kitch-
en- Cabinet during the last session of Con-
sresS' will DO to. him.a lasting benefit; it
taught him the importance OF remember.

From the Ntm York Times

Under date Of the 18th June, 1885, Mr. Van Buren,
in letter to committee Of the Baltimore convention,
appointed to announce to him the fact, that they had
unanimously agreed to present to the country his name
for that Of President Of the United States, stated TO
them: ...
al am no. aware that there is any point Of interest
in the general policy Of the Federal Government, IN
respect 10 which my opinions have not been made known
by my official acts, by my public avowals. and by
the authorized explanations Of my friends II there be
any such, however, you may rest assured OF my ready
disposition 10 comply, all suitable occasions, with the
wishes of my fellow citizens this regard content
myself on this occasion, with saying that consider
myself the honored instrument selected by the friends
Of the present administration. carry its principles
and policy and that, well from inclination as from
duty, shall If honored with the choice Of the American
people, endeavor to tread generally in the Footsteps o.
President Jackson-haPpy, If shall be able to perfect
the work he has so glorIously begun"
With this, his avowal Of general principles, and his
"ready disposition to comply with the wishes Of his
fellow citizens" in disclosing his opinions IN rcgart
to any point Of interest in regard the general policy
Of the Federal Government; suppose the Baltimore
Committee questioned Mr. Van Buren, in detail, upor
the several points Of policy which he has since praciSeG
during the first short gear Of his administration.

and proceeding westerly, followed the line Of coast
10 Point Barrow. They thus completed the survey
OF the coast between the extreme points laid down
by Capt. Bcechcy and Captain Franklin.
"They passed few days with The Esouimaux at
