the resignation Of the Cabinet, has made this
gloomy season for the wings Their harps are ut
erally hung upon the willows-their logcabns that
once resounded with their songs and loud hurrahs
!. for Tippecanoe and Tyler too, now look like ade-
serted country school house-ther clap-boads warp
ed, their chinking and daubing" falling out--the
coonskins stretched upon their gable ends have gone
to decay, and the mosquitoes that sung round the
bung-hoes Of their empty cider barrels have given
paaceablc possession to the sacinlsh multitude thaI
claim them for a shelter. Detected emblems oil
whiggery! Once the statesmen DOTTED their hats
and passed your DOORS uncovered out OF respect and
alteration, but now there are none SO greatn as to
do you reverence by disputng the right Of the
swine to your possession.
But the decayed appearance of their leg-cablns
is not all that the wings have to cast gloom upon
their spirits. The campaign was commenced with
game invented to ,cia, and having succeeded, as
they thought their greatest modification arises from
finally finding themselves beaten at their own game,
their opponents getting the odd trick, which showed
at once that for the balance of the deal the trump
would turn against them. Poor fellows, they are
to he pitied They have done all that money and

doomed to drink to its dregs the bitter cup of dsap-
pointment. Sh =
The first veto many bore with christian fortitude,
hoping that by another effort their chief desire would
be accomplished, while some cursed and sworc like
madmen. The second was like a blighting frost to
their hopes and at the resignation of the Cabinet
| the last CLEAN of hope gave place to despair. So
crazed were some with indignation and disappoint-
ment, that they dare not trust themselves to speak
on the subject Hear the National Inteigencer:
! "Our feelings of regret, modification and pain, at
this breaking up of the Cabinet too sincere to al
low us to trust ourselves to comment at the present
moment either upon the fact or upon the means and
instruments whereby the i'll feeling has been brought
| about which has thus ended in an open rupture"
Poor fellows, they should have taken little wa
ter-gruel and laid down. The New York CONNER
| cial Advertiser thus opens on the subject
"The extra session has verified al the predictions
that made in regard to its results. 1t has bro
| ken up the Wing party and the Harrison Wing
Cabinet, and driven the President out of the Wing
| ranks"

wing paper gives vent to its feelings Of disappoint-
ment in the following language: <s
" But where is the great principle Of the party,
viz: the sword and the purse should rot be in the
hands of the Executive! Alas where is all for
which that party did battle for nine years! Jeopar-
ded, certainly, if not lost. But will not to-day
give expression to feelings; we will ask even our
leaders to be COOL to forget for time the sacrifice
of -
of all to the good of the party and the result so far
as the party is concerned Of all their sacrifices, their
labors, and their hopes.
Think of that Master Brooke SAYS the Boston
Post Doing battle almost as long as the siege of
Troy lasted, capturing the enemy's city, and after
,snu fi.isz 'totuy:; ana ms, too, by
sort of Grecian horse which the conquerers them
selves dragged into their own camp!
A Washington correspondent eff a Philadelphia
paper says
"Not ray of hope now dawns upon bank, i:
being concluded that the President will never con-
sent to bill which Congress will pass"
The Courier and Enquirer, of $4,000 memory,
asks few days to cool off in before it gives express
sion to its feelings. 1t is certainly Notifying to
them to be thus defeated when they thought they
were about to reach the pinnacle of their glory
Some Of the party have yet little hope, as Daniel
Webster is retained in the Cabinet, but this is only
delaying the hour of sad disappointment, as the eff
forts of Mr.. Webster cannot induce Mr.. Tyler to
sacrifice his conscience on the altar of whiggery.-
We sympathlse with them but sympathy will not
reach their case--they are doomed to dsappoint-
ment modification, without measure.
fIfthe present season shall ever be Distinguish
ed in after times for any peculiar occurrences, will
be for robheres and horrd murders Since our first
recollection they have never been du-
ring the present season. Rohberies of banks &C.
have so frequently occurred that they have ceased
to excite attention. and foul murders are becoming
nearfysas common. Of the latter we seldom make
a record, MISUNDERSTANDING the more that is
