ICOAMITrEE-UPRoARI In THE tAMr'-h 10 ~'"os-
ing to observe the uproar created by the rocket
which we threw into certain quarter OF the wing
camp last Thursday. The explosive shot thrown
into the fortress at Vera Cruz by the French, did
net occasion wilder confusion. Clusters OF young
wings who are in a state of dependence on some Of
the Young Mems Committee, were seen at the cor
of the streets, engaged in earnest consultation
and various expedients were suggested for putting
down the Herald, and putting up the clique whose
selfish and aisorganizing schemes we were in iair
way 10 blow TO the devil The Committee them
selves are in the situation of gang Of hornets,
against whose nest stone has been rudely hurled.
Some are fying in one direction, some in another,
knocking their heads together, and singing friends
and foes indisc rim natey One of the delegates to
the convention ran to Noah, and the old Jew
makes an ass of himself grataiousy just to crafty
the splenetic humor of who has not wit enough
to help himself. Another goes to one of the penny
papers, a sort of common sewer, into which every
knave fool has permission to pour his drivel with
out hndrance or moeststion. Others surround the
different papers-some get their ribaldry in, and
some are repealed. Meanwhile we look on and
! laugh.
| They are gong into commissions rather sooner
than we anticipated. We intended at the outset, to
force the wing party TO purge itself Of the paltry
little faction that Weakening its organization, en-
barrassng its movements, and like milestone about
its neck dragging it to perdition. That determine
ton is still in force and snail do it. Nottha we
care fig about the wings here as party, but we
desire TO see fair fight, and unless they renovate
themselves by this process, the democrats will beat
them out of sight.
The Committee are unwise to show so much tre-
pdation and anxiety at the discharge OF single
IL ekavo
into fits As they are down, however, they may
well retain their recumbent posture for the present
We remember to have heard of old lady, whose
son returned from hard fought battle, with his gun
heavily loaded. He had charged as often as his
comrades, but he had never fired the piece at all -
His mother, indignant at his cowardice, seized the
gun and discharged it, The recoi of course laid her
PROSTATE. AS she was about to rise, after recover
ing from the shock young hopeful, supposing one
charge only to have escaped, handed her the gun,
saying
Lie still, mother, there's twelve more TO come
yet"
Just so with the Young Mems Wing Committee.
Lie still boys. There not twelve merely, but
five and twenty charges to come, if necessary.
We are not 10 be turned aside from purpose
by any paltry accusations of personal malevolence
Our object is to tell the truth-to lay bare the in
trigue. of gang Of selfish schemers, and convince
the honest of the wing party of the necessity of
taking the management of affairs into their own
hands. This is very easily accomplished, and We
shall do il in the course Of few days.
A NEW LAW WASrED.-A statute OF limitations
ought to be enacted for the exclusive benefit Of po
liticians. Whatever man may have said or done
ought be set in array against him, after lapse

king avowals inconsistent with their former decla-
rations, and law ofthis sort would them from
much humiliation. To-day expresses his real
sentiments of Mr.. Van Burens administ tion-like
Mr. Pickeus for instance, for stgmatising them
the ''vilest and most corrupt reptiles that
crawled into power" and tomorrow arguments and
reason are presented, which cause him to regard
them as patriotic, honorable, high-minded men; he
receives them to his embraces, participates in all
their plans and shows fight in faint way to every
body tina, doubts their purity Usder such circum-
stances is it not unkind, nay cruel, TO make man

expressed when he had no motive to deceive him

and he has changed with them; why then should he

way to stop this kind Of rascaty, but by statutory
enactment. Let US have a law then, by all means,
the sooner the better and it must be retrospective
in It's opsration We desire the benefcent permits
sions Of cur law to embrace the Of Mr.. Me-
Duffie. His late letter abusing General Harrison,
aud landing the financial doctrines Of the Admins
tration, has been made the subject of some severe
anmadversion. Upon seeing these invidious, lima
tured comments of the wicked wings, the Charles
ton Mercury put forth the following paragraph -
| "TCbp do the Heather rage?-Gen. McDuihe's let
ter has fallen like bomb-she into the midst OF the
spin-and STAYED the cider barrels TO tritfers
The National Gazette. the Richmond Wing, and all
the " common cry" have raised a simultaneous
howl As IL melted birthstone had been poured upon
the mango Of legion OF ours in one fine shower
We thought it would produce sensation"
| This paragraph induced the wings to lock up the
speeches ofMc Dufe, when his notions corresponded
with theirs. In 1884 he was Enthusiastically vio-
lent in his denunc ations Of the executive. He com
pared the receptions Of the Administration to those
of the Yelled Prophet, and the deusions Of its fol-
lowers proportional to the worship Of that ugly
caitiT The friends Of the President in Congress
were delicately painted by Mr. McDuffe as "repties
which crawled in their own slime up to the foot

Of the Administration were thus stigmatised by
him.

imposture, than that which the administration Is at
