ton spread over a territory of such extent
as that comprehended BY our Union, and q.
hibiting interests 30 diversified, what might
be called the Characteristic principles Of tho
Wing party, throughout this wide sphere,
should be subject to occasional notifications,
dependent upon local influences; and that it
was incumbent, therefore, upon the party to
move in a spirit of mutual concession and
accommodation Of sectional differences of
opinion. 1t need not be told that in the
system of measures which we have enums
ated, conflicting views might naturally exist
between the Representatives of distant por-
tons Of our Republic; and that only by the
yielding Of minor interests TO the establish
ment Of the general good, entire harmony
was TO be obtained in the action of Con-
gress. This was natural, and to be expec-
ted. But we felt a proud consciousness
that in the patriotism of the party, all such,
difficulties would vanish, and that the de-
mands of an enlarged welfare would be met
and fulfilled, through the virtue of that spirit
Of compromise and forbearance, that liberal
and comprehensive sentiment Of selEdenial
and concession, which rests at the heart Of
our confederacy, and which constitutes the
living principles Of our union"
This may satisfy the credulous--but the
p~retence is too bald. Is the question of a
National Bank in all its bearings dependent
upon local inluences' Why should ther.
be any sectional differences Of opinion on
this great subject. 1t is certainly not a "sec-
tional" or "local" question, and no wing ev.
er viewed it in that light.
After stating what they did during the
100 days Session they proceed to state what
they did not do-No credit is given TO the

ned by every liege man Of King Henry:
SIN this review of the position into which
the late events have thrown the Wing party,
it is with profound sorrow we look TO the
course pursued by the President. He has
wrested from US one Of the best fruits of a
long and painful struggle, and the consum-
nation Of a glorious victory: he has even,
perhaps, thrown us once more upon the field
Of political strife, not weakened in numbers,
nor shorn OF the support of the country, hut
STR ped Of the arms which success had placed
in our hands, and left again to rely upon that
high patriotism which for twelve wears sus-
tanned US in a conflict Of unequalled a~sperity,
and which finally brought US to the fulfill
ment of those brilliant hopes which he has
done somuch to destroy.
In this state of things, the Wings will ma
turally look with anxiety to the future, and
what are the actual relations between
the President and those who brought him in
to power; and what, in the opinion Of their
in Congress, should be their course
hereafter. On both Of these questions We
'eel it to be our duty to address you in per-
ect frankness and without reserve, but, at
he same time, with due respect to others.
In regard TO the first, we are constrained
say, that Of h ePresident,by the course he
has adopted in respect to the application Of
he veto power to two successive bank char.
.ers, each Of which there was just reason to
believe would meet his appreciation; by his
withdrawal of confidence from his real friends
