Bot let the Wings chuckle as they may on this

Had we met with this article in Pekin, we could
have made oath to the paternity. None other upon
the face OF the earth could have written it-none
other could have compressed into the same space an
equal amount Of cant, wheeling and insidious cum
ming, but he who did write IL. What "bold and
fearless" man he is in "aying his Aagl" What de-
voted courage IN resolving never to strike il! His
last generation readers, we doubt not, look upon

pattern Of consistency and principle Yettbis pa

anii-liarrison. His party, not three months ago,
even here in Virginia, voted Tor Rich'd NJ johnson
as Vice President, who by the death Of the Presi-
dent becomes President, knowing him 10 be an
avowed Bank, Tariff and Improvement man!

days ago IN the Senate, when the Senator from

were to be- presumption properly rebuked On the
spot, by Mr.Prsston. Helpless for the present and
hopeless for the future, upon is own resources.
Loco Focoism has resortcd to the old expedent Of
attempting The conquest Of the Wings by first diyi-
