GIVE ZEN ROPE.

Every Democrat in Congress, and in
the State Legislatures, whose Districts
now have Wing msjorities, ought in our
opinion to resign their seats, and those
who yet represent Democratic Districts,
stand up to their posts, and call on the
Wings 10 fulfill their promises to the
people. The Wing party are under I'M
menso Responsibilities at present. They
have made promise after promise, and
pledge upon pledge, TO the people, which
they never can. nor never intend 10 full
il. And as soon as the people call on
them 10 pay them their Promi SOS,
there will be a general fare up; honce
we want the democrats out of their way
that there may be no blame attached TO
them. 1t may be SAID this would be a
dangerous precedent. Our answer Is,
there can be no DANGER The wings as
a party whenever they begin,to act on
lheIr,principIes, render themselves, o.
dlus ro the mass of ofcommunity, ard now
that they have got into power by every
means but the fair thing, We cay give
Them them rope and they will hang them
selves the sooner, and by 80 doing, ben

THE GUILTY LEADERS.

Tho guilty leaders Of federalism, now
that they have succeeded in electIng Har

Increase the price ofproduce or the wa

told The tale for political effect, knowing

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CON-
GERM,

A correspondent in the last uumber OF
the Christian Advocate, tells the world
what he thluks, in O plain way two or
three ofhIs thoughts were evidently ln-
ted for Dover. At all events we think
them peculiarly applicable.
"When see a minister bearing one
character in the pulpit, and when out of
II another, think II pity he could not
always remain out.
"When | see a minister espousiug
the Cause Of one of the great political
parties of The day. and using all his in
huence against the other, think he il
in fair way TO gain enemies aud do
great injury to the Church,
"When | hear that minister bears
the character of a great poliiIcisn, and
meddies himself more with political mat
ters than with matters belonging TO the
sanctuary, ! think he had better siter his
course, or throw of his credentials, and
offer himself as a candidate for public
Office.

TO THE REPUBLICANS or VIRGINIA.
Gallant Comrades we are defeated in Ihe
Union-but we have saved The Citadel. Let Us
never st:rke the fag-never sRive up the ship.
1t was our purpose to have addressed you so-
day on the past and on the future but we have
no space to spare: and we must reserve that
commission for The nexi week. We content
ourselves to-day with laying before you the man
ly reflections Of the Republican Press Of the
North.-What noble spirit do they exhibit
II IS indeed the true FIRE of the flint. We beg
YOU especially TO read the article from the man
Of Bryant, Editor Of the My E. Post. and The
first Poet in Ametica-as masculine in his Prose
as he s beautiful in his Poetry With him, we
think we have much to do. There isno cause
for dependency but every thing to stimulate
the generous spirits of the land TO bolder, to
more successful exeriions. Mr. Van BuTen is
indeed bedten-but in the midst OF his defeat,
he bears himself with the equanimity of the
sage, and the courage Of the Hero, IL took
tea (says an intimate friend with The President
las. evening. He acknowledges hiniselfdefeat
ed, but he bears it like Hero, who has fallen
n his country's cause" And well may he
bear il with philosophy and dignity. lie is in-
deed an object Of envy, instead Of regret. He
retires with the appreciation of his own cons
science, and amid the applauses of all impartial
men. History has rich recompense for him
and posterity will DO him justice.
We have plain track before US. Raise the
stand ard, and adhere TO our principles. Let US
Judge the next Administration with all fairness.
[as the Evening Post says but if they do any
thing good, we shall be most agreeably disap.
pointed. From such a clique, we expect
nothing but evil. w fear it is the Upas Tree,
which only dstils pioson from its trunk. Let
us then not disband-not dsarm but keep our
selves prepared 10 resist their designs-their
Bank. Tariff and TO defend the principles of
'9e. This Is the true position. In the mean
tine, as the Election for the II. of Represents
tives is coming on in the Spring, as the Pres-
dent and the Senate will be against us, OH the
Bank and other questions let Us try and save the
House of Representatives in order that il NAV
save us. We advise our friends, therefore. il,
all the Congressional Districts, to organize them
selves forthwith; to nominate their strongest
men-and TO address TO ull tho candidates, who
woo their support these questions.

TIE WORK BEFORE THEM.

TIE WORK BEFORE THEM.
The New York Evening Pos, 10 allu-
ding to thetpumph of the opposition
say. The "higs have a difficult task
before them; they have to eatisfy the
specu'aIors who are eager to bring
back the times of 1886; they have to
satisfy the friends of a national bank;
they must do something to content the
projectors Of great lines of communities
tiou between the States; they must adopt
some measures 10 suit the interests of
the holders of State stocks; they must
appease those VINO clamor for protec~
tive duties; and generally they must
take course which will meet The views
of that large class, the nucleus Of the
whig party, who hold to free and in
genuous construction OF the constitution
a strong anG splendid government, a.
bundauce oflegslative interference, ard
a consequent multiplication of Offices.
All those who look anxiousy for these
changes, and wHl exert themselves to
the utmost 10 bring them about, are in
the hands ofthe wing party. What will
The new administration do 10 satisfy
their eager desire ? The people arc not
prepared for any of these plans, which
