that We shall not vainly think they are attempting
TO undermine the wing party and regain their as
csndency in this State. Did we not expose them
on every occasion which. ofiers, we should feel it
our duty to tear down the proud ensign under
which we have bauled them and neither be consi-

!, Yesterday Mr.. - introduced a resolution
that the sennie should order tn editor Of the
Courier (pubiic printer to supply each senator
with ten copies Of hi. paper, each day, to be dis
'rbuted among their constituents.
MI. Hirart introduced resolution that the Sc
nate should not take amy Of the city papers save
others to be discontinued. aa
The first resolution TO our astoniehment passed
without opposition, with which they should
have been met. The second 10 still nnder the Sc.
Mates considerations.
Let i, be remembered that the majority ofSe-
majors claims to be Whigs-they profess the high
and holy principles which distinguish the wing
part, from the narrow minded and sordid policy OF
locofocoisn Can they have dozed over their duties
turing plan for the dissemination of doctrines.

The Courier ie tainted with the corruption which
has characterized the democratic party Ii is

utopinn schemes Of demagoguism are promulesd

We looked urun The election of Locofoco State
prii ter Of the severcst checks which the Whie
party could receive.t 1t was unexpected. After the
struggle at the last election the Wings conceived they
had right to expect expression in their favor by
majnHty oftheir representatives, whenever question
came up, which could he considered test vote. The
choice of public printer is always 80 consilered-
1t is important election 1t places weapons in the
hands of enemy wound and harrass or into those
of friend to aid and succor We were at loss tt
know how a'Whig Legislature could elect an acknow
edged Locooco, without superior qualifications Gnd pos
sessing pretensons which could be tortured into
claim. By some smartness the part Of tho vgilnn
neutrality-suspicious. spreading indusriousy that il
was an uninportan oficetogether with the irsidious
log rolling OF Jesral clique, who, to minister te
their petty malice, susk the obligations they owed te
party principle, the Wings were blinded to the deep
laid plot and the importance Of this spoke in the whes
of their adversaries.
| But the election Of public printer owe. TIL.
Loco Focns had riumphed They had achieved
signal victory. Eaed with their success, the,
have grown more bold. They are beginning to show
| their hands, depending the Incidence or cas-,
confidence OF the Wings. Ii is astonishing to us
! that the latter do not discover their game. Is i
not worthy Of consideration that ITO numbers of ,
democratic paper should be dnIy sent out into ,h
country and distributed where it is so necessar,
that corrrc, principles should alone be dssemina
ted?t And is il worthy of no consideration that
handsome appropriation will be expected q, tn,
close of The session. to defray the expense? TIL,
fact is, orr Wing Senators should reacc, that tn,
people ought not to bo compelled to pay for thu
poison of locoocoism. If the Locofoco senators
wished to distribute ten numbers Of the Courie
daily among their constituents, they. should hav,
done it in their individual capacities Ii remind
us of the mems the OF Globe to scatter prospectus
and extras far and near, sending them envelopet
in messages and other public documents that m en-
bers of Congress had ranked and ordered to b.
forwarded TO them.
But it does not stop here. An cfint is made to sup
press far possible, all distribution of the Wing pa
pers. They are to be all discarded forsooth. Th,
Courier is the only city paper which is suitable to thu
senates digesting organs! We say to the Wings
Shake off your lethargy-think Of the trust that Ina
been placed in your keeping. Have this obr6xiou
resolution rescnded and if hut is not to be acheve
east send the antidote with The hane. We feel conf
dent, when you rcct upon this SUBJECT, that its mpor
lance will be evident. Do not permit Locoocoism II
build up its fallen temples. If the snake is only scotch
ed keep sodo not let its wounds heal up or it's ven
ON dis'iI again.
