would follow in Virginia Many would acquesce us in

|-Such IS the state of public opinion For ourselves
(mincingly whispers the Whig) we believe it uncon-
sttutional, and of most doubtful political expediencv
Its fiscal expectancy have never doubted The
highest expectancy, we think is to adhere to the Con-
stltut'on what that Constitution u.s. each American
citizen has Us good right to say any other citizen
1t is evident, from all this confusion of tongues in the
short article that the Wing constitutional ethics
hang very loosely about it-und that if Mr.. Henry Clay
pleases to force Bank upon us, the monk of the r.
Wing will BE- most ready to grant him absolution
The Wing indicates, that the Postmaster Of this CITY
is go by the boardand that lie is TO be dropt from
the roll, when his commission expires early in March
We pass the miserable and malignant slanp of the
Whig-its gross resentations-Col Gooc visit
to Cen Harrison four years ago-its sly and insidous
illusions to COL G s Conversations All these ,bnos
are in strict character with he professional Assassin
of reputation! But the discharge of his official
duties, ut once join issue with the Wing. The
Wing asks "what peculiar merits lie possesses to en-
title him to a new commission" We answer and ap.
peal to all Richmond for the verifcation What Post
Office has been better conducted Have not its duties
been most faithfully and ably discharged Is there
merchant who gainsay this' But, the Wing af-
firms, that it has been IA perfect snecure in his
hands. The fact is positively dcnied-but if it were
true would not the objection proceed with i'll grace
from Chief Magistrate, who held for many years a
sinecure at home We pray the Wing, for decency
sake, to spare the necessity of such retrbution-to
abandon its persecution of Col. Gooch, whom it has
to evict from Office; and we call upon the Wings
of Richmond 10 respect their principles, and TO
remember the solemn denunciatons they often made
during the late canvass of prescription for opinion
sake.
The Wing is pleased to add mockery to its me-
naces and It asks, in tone of derson, whether $50
pure Democrat the Col. would hold Office under
such Fcderast, Abolitonist, and British Wing, as
old Tip The Democrats may here what they Ina We
to expect Every who holds an office is liable to
be turned out ''ncck and shoulders" with similar
taun We say, too if Old TIP is to be excited against
every Democrat by such taunting appeals this he is
not fit to be the Chief Magistrate of Free People
Then, indeed public Offices would be made the instru
rnen,s of avenging imaginary private grefs-and the
King of France, who noby declared that he would
not avenge the wrongs of the Duke of Orleans, was
according to the spirit of the R. Wing, only fool, and
