Party Tactics.

The fact that the people are opening
their eyes to the corruptions and usur-
palIons of the party in power has become
apparent to the monarchists themselves,
who are now in every section Of the
Union endeavoring TO sustain their pow
er--nof upon the correctness of their
PrlnciPles-but by arti6ce and chicanery.
When the Democrats God save the
mark-wcre in the majority, what man
who differed with them politically re-
celved office or promotion at their hands ?
Not one! But now, that that majority Is
against them, we find them in every sec
ton the Union begging support at the
hands of their opponents whom they in
the days of their power and osperity,
marked with the brand of prescription,
as the Almighty the brow of Cain with
indellable infamy. In this county we
not only see the Van Buren, candidate
asking support from the Wings and en-
deavorng to caiole them, by telling them
that National Politics, or politica princi-
pies, should not influence them in their
selection of representatives, but others
have cren gone 50 far as to ask the ad-
vice of personal friends of the Wing
party, as to the propriety of their run
ming, and their support in case they
placed themselves before the people for
their suffrages. What arrogance can
|equal--what presumption excell--what
artlice or cunning can match such willy
asplrants for office, who thus hope thro'
personal feelings to allure their political
opponents, to abandon their cause-their
countries cause-in her utmost need2
In kentucky, too, we see two instances
where members Of the Van Buren, party
are canvassing for the Legislature in
" hig counties, and are using every ar
gunrent and device to convince the peo-
pie that political principles should not
influence them in the selection of Rep
rcsentailyes. We have Just read the
address of Judge Hickey, Of Lexington,
Ky, who uses the same fiinsey reasons
for his election as characterize those of
the Van Buren, candidate for Senator in
this county In Louisville, KY. Mr..
Guthrie, contends for the same thing.

endeayored to play the impassioned and

that the General thought his effort
