nNEnlIEs - LIE CAMP.

Whether we are beaten or not IN the 20
cent election. in our State, one thingsis GER
tain, we can look around, already, over the
few counties we have heard from, and see
several losses which the whigs have met
with in the election of members 10 the Le-
gislature, IN consequence Of enemies IN our
o,oa ranks. Weyery much regret the ne
cessity of making such remarks as these; but
we are determined, so long as we WELD an
editorial pen, to deal out denunciations
against, and expose to public indignation,
all enemies TO the advancement OF wing
principles, whether such men choose to call
themselves ssaohig'' or ..sory.'' A name
shall NOT deter us from vigilent and faith
full discharge of our duty to the wing party.
One of.the leading features of wing prin-
ciples is this:
"a Union OF the yvhigss-.for the sake Oh
the Union"
we mean by this laconic sentence, that the.
Union is in jeapordy--that the dominant
party are corrupt, and seek their own agrarl-
disement-that that they are becoming more
corrupt, and by the use Of the public Trea-
sures-that money has won. the administra-
tors of the Government from the pathway
of the Constitution; and that a union Of tie
aoligs is the only hope which the country,
has Of rescuilig the reins of the Government
from these selfish, ambitious men, and Of
bringing the republic back to the highways
of peace, harmony and prosperity, in which
it soiourned during the first half century Of
it's existance. UNION, then, is paramount
to all other considerations. And under this
state Of things, we are compelled to regard
the man who, calling himself wing, for the
sake of little personal distinctions seat
in the Legislature, will destroy, or weaken
the bonds of this union, as The beTiest enemy
of The aUhig party! Several men that we
know of have distinguished themselves with
such infamy as this, by remaining candi-
dates for the Legislature, at the late election.
in opposition 10 whig candidates who were
fairly and reasonably believed to be the pre-
ference Of the wings in their respective
counties. And they have succeeded in es-
tablfshing their own political disgrace and
in defeating the wings, when they were
largely and decidedly in the majority.
It is past now, however, and these traitors
have done us all the injury which they can.
perhaps, for some time to come. We hope
they viii be remembered in future, at least
Their names oughtto be registered in cal

bered only on account the injury which
they have done to the cause Of political IN

US more injury than the whole army Of oper
