4 proposition to abandon tie Wing Ship
to lie Underwriters.

So hopeless are the prospects Of the
wings; SO stiipt are they ly successive
elections # almost every inch Of ground,
on which they stood, that the mos impair
tul among them confess their cause IS
gone; and a few Of their most prudent
politicians do not hesitate 10 recommend
the Abandonment ct tie whole contest.
1t is certainly the wisest step they can
now take, Tie Philadelphia Evening
Star frankly gives it up; and in an article
il which the editor dares to speak the

a party with any CHARGE Of even Ultimate

,he present Federal Administration. Is
il then good policy for the wings, or any
portion IT them, TO continue their ergani-

being able TO correct the abuses of the
party in power, is by joining it," And

The .Ciucisnui Ga.cite does not ex-
