The Richmond Wing on the Importance Of 'tu"damental
A late number of tho Richmond Wing commenced
lie leading Editorial with the following remarkable
passage:
If we have fundamental dsageemen let rs suspend them nl

carried into M sysy s s"s are triumphant

AS TO burying "dissensions, TINT is all very WELL
but the Wing advances bowsot further; VII we nave

the victory Of November is thoroughly realized, &c.
This extraordinary avowa gives the key to the success
nc tho Wbr marty the whole secret is the suspension OF
fundamental Disbursements. Fundamental Disagree
ments then are not sufficient ground oil DIVISION

plain man might conclude, that they could rot pro-
coed with the building, until they mad settled these
Disbursements about the FOUNDATIONS. The Rich

narrow views He lays down capital rule Suspend
