places. Once let them make a declaration
of what are their views, and the whole par.
ty crumbles into its original discordant ele.
ments. Unbridled as is the spirit of party,
however, there are, now and then, men to be
found, who hold in just contempt these weap-
ons of whiggery. Read what follows:
The New York Herald Wing, of the 9th
ut has the following.
Mr. Ogle's speech.-Mr Ogle has verv
politely forwarded US his speech on the sre.
gal sPlendor of the Presidents palace which
he delivered IN congress some weeks since.
We are indebted to the gentleman for his
civility, but we ann undertake to read his
speech. As to Mr.. Van Buren's househould
economy, il is a matter about which we care
as little as can be imagined. There is NO
such thing as regal splendor in the white
house. 1t is h handsomely furnished but not
a whit too well for the chief magistrate of
the nation; and as to his style of living, tits
very proper and satisfactory, particularly to
those who have partaken of his hospital
ity.
The following is from the Philadelphia
National Gazette. the leading whig paper of
Pennsylvania;
Mr. Lincoln's speech animadverting on
Mr. Ogle is very severe. 1t is a satisfactory
vindication Of the president from any blame
that may be attached to him for personal
extravagance. Outlays were made for house.
hould furniture during the several terms of
the presidents, without comment. except in
senator Benton's East Room Letter.
Park Benjamin, a WING and editor of the
New World thus gives his opinion of that
federal scullion. OgIe:
Small 6nsiness.-The opposition papers
are publishing with appreciation the remarks
a Mr. Ogle of Pennsylvania. upon the
civil and diplomatic appropriation bill. Our
will be amused with n few specimens
Ut his speech. Mr. Ogle should be immedi-
ately appointed head waiter at the white
house. His genius evidently lies that way.

NUTS FOR THE WINGS TO CRACK

Nothing shows so fully the utter reckless
ness of the wing party and their despicable
system of warfare, as the humbugs which they
have attempted to palm of upon the people.
They throw out Of the question all ~allusion to
principle-,hey are unwilling to meet US in
the discussion of the expediency or constitu-
tionality of a U. S. Bank; they shun every
thing like argument as to a tariff, Internal
Improvement, or any Of the important ques,
tons upon which the parties have always
been divided, and instead Of this, they resort
to the miserable stuff contained in Ogle's
s~peech-the standing army, sc. Their rea-
for this is plain. They have no COM
mon principle to bind them together. but to
eject those that are in office, and take their

In addition to this we take the following

"You ask me what | think of four prospects

Mr.. Van Buren, in the fall. Gen. Har-
rison's majority IN this state in 1899 was

wings again carried the state bv a large ma

legislature. In 1888 the democrats rallied.

Such are the account we receive from
the states, that will decide the election. Our
may be deceived. We think not.
Every mail brings us thesmost cheering in
