THE WING MANIFESTO.

We cannot subscribe TO all the principles set
forth in this document. II was an inausplcious
movement at best; calculated 10 do no good
whatever, and will inevitably do much HARM
The terms of censure employed in relation TO
the conduct Of the President, are far from meet
ing universal approval, while some of the doc
trines advanced are still more unpalatable TO a
numerous portion Of the party. That in rela-
ton to the abrogaton of the Veto power is
perhaps the worst indeed it is of itself suffi-
cient, in our view, 10 condemn the whole pro-
duction. We will readily admit that resric-
ton of the Veto power to bills unconstitutional,
and such as encroach upon executive rights,
would be an improvement, but TO strike from the
Constitution all negative porer on the part Of
the President, would be al once TO consgn the
country to the will of an irresponsible majority
in Congress, or in other word make the will
of the majority the Constitution. Upon all
such doctrine as this we emphaticaly put our
veto. II is true the States would still possess
the UNREASONABLE right which they now pos
sess, TO guard their own sovereignty, and pro-
tect themselves from the operation Of unconsti-
tutional and oppressive laws: but if bare ma
jorily in Congress were allowed to enact all laws,
independent of the sanction Of the President,
the probability is that The States would find oc-
casion to throw III mselves upon their reserved
rights more frequently than they have in the
past history Of our government
We have been led to make these remarks BY
an inquiry from an esteemed friend, why we
have not published the document in question:
II was not such as we were willing TO acknow-
ledge as containing exactly the creed of our
party and in this we believe we speak the senti-
ments Of the State Rights party generally.
