Such is the language of both pares-but it is idle
for either TO claim the victory No triumph has been
gained on either side. Ii is in sober earnestness a
drapn game-and nothing else. Last fall the wings
carried this city by nearly 5000 majority-and the
state by nearly $4,000. How comes 1t that they
reduced TO bare 500 in their stronghold? The
reaction has been caused by their insane policy
by the folly of Their leaders by the intrgues of
Wall street stock jobbers-and by the arrogance,
haugh,iness and pomp Of the wing magnates and
committees themselves
Let us recapituate their sins, in order that they
may avoid them hereafter
Wac has forgotten the insane orgies of the wings
at Nblo's great feed given after the late election?
The nsoent conduct of some of the whg leaders, on
that occasion, Disguised hundreds of their party
We know this to be the fact. Charles King insulled
several highly respectable men at the Nibo fete to
our certain knowledge. Then followed great ten
dollar .fete at the Astor House, at which the spec
mems of arrogance nsoence, and impotence were
without a parallel in the history of parties in any
country On the heels of these foolish and deplorable
events the same clique went to Washington, got up
the lamentable duel between Ciley and Graves, and
eRdeavored to induce the vrtuous and honorable whe
party throughout the country to make common cause
with band of outcasts and reprobates, who dis
graced themselves and their country on that memo
rable occasion. The wing press in Philadelphia and
Baltimore, conducted as it is by weak and nconpe-
tent blockheads was drawn in to defend and apollo
gise for these scenes of "blood and carnage"
On the back of this, perhaps contemPora-
neous with these events, are to be found Deep
underhand intrigue with the government entered into
by the wing stock jobbers in Wall street, under the
lead Of the "Nsw York American" and "Journal of
Commerce." fer the purpose Of mere PERSONAL private
and pecuniary ends When Mr.. Bddle's famous let
ter on the suspension Of specie payments appeared
these ockobbng journals and their agents in Bos-
ton, made a vrulent and simultaneous attack on its
postons-on its reasonings-on its vlews-cn its
purposes. Under the specous pretext of resuming
specie payments these attacks were put forth-but in
fact and in truth il was a mere ebullition Of i'll con-
csaed chagrln, because Mr. Biddles splendid finan-
cal movements crossed the petty tracks Of the clique
of Wall street stockholders, represented by the
"American" and the Journal of Commerce" The
position and arguments Of Mr. Bidde were msrepre-
sened and the whole weight of large section OF the

pawn by certain men, was thrown into the ranks
Of the locotocos, whom they affect to ridcule SO
much.
To this mean intrigue of the Wall street stock job
bers with the locofoco leaders at Albany, and the
billing and cooing" of Governor Marcy and the
Barring clique, who stick UP their Specie Bulletins on
the ratings Of Wall street, ia to be ascrbed the prn
cipa Of he great reaction Of the recent cleo
tion This was heightened, indeed, by the ignorant
malevolence of the Board Of Trade, operated on by
the Daily Express, towards mr.. Delafeld and the
Phenx Bank, because that institution had organized
the inland exchanges in 1885, '36 and 81 according
to their DESIRE and would discount notes for the
SPECTATORS Of the Express.
Ii is idle-t is fuie-it is weak for the wing papers
to shout out "viciory" They have los, ground-but
gained small victory indeed They had better re-

set up their nine pins again-and hire a smarter
set OF sixpenny boys to keep the tally than James
Watson Webb David Hale Charles Kpg. or James
G. Brooks. Boysat "tuppence" piece, such as am,
are far more efficient. These axpennies" and their
foolish associates have, with their ntrigues Of all
kinds, acts and sins almost ruined the cause Of the
wings and with il the cause of the country and a
sound currency. Yet these bleckhesds may be for
given by the great body Of the wing party il they re-
pent and do better in future. We shall nercede for
them as well as we can but as DIckey Riker says,
"suffer some they must" Let US hope better for
the next six months.
N. B. The conduct of the whg committees we
shall overhaul in a day or two. Their small linen
wants washing most awfully 1.-THE wing commit
tees behave well, we can lead them to victory next
fa-if net, not.
