MoNpAY MORNING. nov 1.

We respond cordially TO the sentiment of friend
that the Wings should risdly observe the liberal
and tolerant spirit towards another, which AMI
mated them during the canvass of 1910. No one
desires more earnestly than 10, that every mem
Der OF that great party should continue act TO
scther in harmony and love in all the political ups
and downs OF life We desire 1t IN the FIRST place on
account Of the regard, We have conceived for them
all during common llbocS and common perils-
and m the second place from regard TO the public
wefare-whlch we deem, in great degree depen-
dant on the continued ascendancy of this risidly
honest and truly Republican Party. Thus sincere.
~ influenced, we have not sought, and do not IN
tend to seek TO raise any question OF difference
or push any old TO the extremity Of driving off
any member OF the party, render his position un.
pleasant or embarrassing. All Ways, for ausht
we viii say DO, may continue to act together
with the same cordially in the main, and the same
ameabe diSa Sreement in particulars which distin-
suished them when Van Buren, was King. We
know We shall have the same corrupt dynasty to
fight agan, and want every Old and true soldier to
TO be forthcoming at the beat OF the drum. We
would have them differ they done. abou, abstract
questions, on this or that species OF Bank-they
have only 10 maintain their loyalty to the whic
rupt, and demOrazing and enslavins principles of
Van Bdrenisnn, and wo shall ever hail them as
brethren IN the same good cause.
But whilst we are thus disposed to liberation
from feeling and conviction, we cannot go the
lengths Of excusiug those who act in bad faith, and
make an old difference the pretex, for present apos
Iaey-nor will we permit the kind feelings Of the
past so far TO get the better Of our judgment as TO
ptomp. Us TO conceal the fact that there are some
VINO were once Wings, who are now so no more
and wh' are cSertIng whatever talents they possess
to undo the Party to which they owe all the consi.
ders,on they enjoy. There are a few such men
some aciua;ci by ambition, and others by mercen,-
~ and less praise worthy motives. Their number
is tew-most OF them are would.be leaders-bu.
this occasion they have led of without followers
But even this fact, Notifying 10 their vanity and
PRIDE has not had the effect Of making them retr,ce
their steps, and regain the firm foor-holG of homes
" and principle. Ii has only served TO exaspera,e
them, and make them more eager to gain converts.
They have ost their reputation for good faith, and
.ise the fox IN the fable, they are exceedingly anx-
ioIs !hst is many others as possible should keen
them company. They are accordingly writing let
tsrs and insdiously approaching every man whom
they may conceive accessible to their wiles. The
anti. Bank Wings are those whom they have more
sPeci.iy honored with their insulting preference,
and make the subjects for playing off their arts
To some they say, that the Clay Wings are deter
mined to prescribe them-und they have the impu.
dence to add Look how shameiuy they are perse
cutting me" To Others they hold out alternate lures
and threats, they may deem the one or the other
bes; fixed TO accomplish their ends.
Il Is not necessary to put the members Of the
Wing Party upon their guard against approaches
hom such men, The very fact, tina, they sail under
false colours, IS Of itsefa warning that they mean
false and foul
