The management of our Indian matters have been
a SALTY business under every Administration.
ARKANSAS.
FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
TO THE WING PARTY.
The evidence recently furnished in Maine, Mary
laid Georgia. and other parts of the country, Of the
apathy and inerlness existing in your ranks Is deeply
to be regretted. The victory which you achieved, al
ter struggle of twelve long years. should not be
tonly abandoned cost too great an expenditure OF
time, labor talent and eloquence, TO be thus inexcu
sably thrown away. IL every thing We have been
conlendng for has not been accomplished it does not
follow that should abate exeItons, and, with
our arms folded, supineiy suffer enemies to tri-
umph u.s. and snatch away the prize OF the go-
rious victory we have gained | am aware Of the
which have produced the lamentable and repre-
hensible apathy existing, for It cannot be that
the immense ma orily which brought the Wings into
power has melted down TO an insignificant minority
1t must i'll exist and will yet, l trust come forth
again in its former resisess power; but this apathy,
which is manifested, is decidedly wrong, and
contrary the obvious dictates of sound reason. II
would certainly be very absurd In a man, In private
life, to throw away an estate of 2OO acres OF land be-
cause he disappointed in getting the additional
which he had xpected to Obtain or to quar-
REL and become hostile to his father, because he could
not get every thing he desired. The principal cause
of the discomfort prevailing among the party Is the
failure of the fiscal agencies proposed during the late
ter which should itself lead to the abandonment Of
all else we have been contending for, and have &C
tually effected. The language held, and the sent-
ments entertained by friends in different parts of
the country on this subject desire the serious cons
deration ofevery Wing. The Wing Central Com
mee of c., in their circular to their friends prepare
tory the election, remark "There ale differences Of
opinion among our friends on single point, VIZ the
best method Of uniting the collection and disburse
ment Of the public NTH the regulation Of The
If Ib.. hn Al Hpr in 10
matter of detail have enjoyed our confidence
MAY we not indulge 30 small difference among
those who have united in every thing elsei Are we
intoerant that every man must be brought up TO
party standard, else be denounced as traitor 7
Are look at the single point on which We disa-
gree, and magnify the difference until 1t becomes
source of dscord and disseverance shall we turn
eyes to the glorious results which have already
been accomplished, and draw from them encourage
ment to close and enduring union2
1--WE must all regret that the President could not
agree with the two Houses of Congress-; he assures
US that he regretted it HIMSELF and we have
son to doubt the sincerity OF that declaration Re-
spect to gisrae is among the first duties
ing principle Of our party to incucate obedience to
the laws, and Difference to public authority.
"Let u.s. therefore, not judge harshy OF the motives
of the President His position is trying and difficult
and if his views and opinions shall finally be found
not To harmonic with the general sentiment of those
who elected him, there will be enough of calamity in
result, without Fastening it by premature and bitter
denunciation. -. ." "
But the O ues,ion recurs, what shall be done Shall
adopt the language of recrimination and reproach
towards public servants, because they have had
the misfortune to disagree point about which the
whole country 10 divIdedl Shall we abandon our
selves to the unworthy impulses Of excitement and
passion and dash from all the glorious fruits Of our
brilliant success because we are Temporarily dIsap
pointed in a single object Would this be worthy Of
the ever memorable struggle of the past year, Have
we no recollections of the past2 Have we SO soon
forgotten our common toils-oul untrng labo1s our
anxious hopes-and our fervent gratitude, when the
hour of success arrived? Shall we, who have
the! ed the fiercest political storm that has swept
over country, and lately conducted the ship OF
state into tranquil waters permit dscord and disunon
to effect what the rage of the political elements could
not accomplish Why should we do sol We yet
have Wing President, Wing Senate, large ma
jority in the House of Representatives and what is
better than all, Wing People.
Let us then stand by each other-by our cause-by
our country. Let difference of opinion about men,
Of the conduct of men, divide us. AS Wings we at
tanned the most glorious political victory accom-
pshed-as Wings, let US use it for The benefit of our
common country. Let us adhere closely TO or |
ganization; keep the Wing banner in the breeze and
discard all counsels which sanction division or nelD
combinations. Under the name of Whig we revolu-
onized the country. Under that name, and that
alone, let us be known. Discarding all minor
let extend the hand of confidence and
fe,is-ship to all who have the objects in view,
anu rendei arr party distinguished for its justice
ana 'oierahce as is for the noble end at which
aims.
And, finally, WINGS OF CoNNEe,eur. let u, be
true TO ourselves and not abandon prlhepes and
forsake each other, even though disappointed in the
conduct of our public functonaries. Men are as no
thing In comparison with our country and her noble
nstltnons-these, and these alone worthy of the
best efforts OF freere en-. Let stand around them
with grappled hands, and permit neither fr ends nor
foes to mar their beauty destroy their usefulness"
Theyoung men of Pba., in very large meeting,
held the 22d of Sept last after the majo
rty in Congress- the President and his late Cabinet
for the repeal Of the sub Treasury act for passing the
Home Squadron, Fertilization, Bankrupt, Land Dis
trbuon bills, SC, adopted, among others the follow
ing resolution:
Resolped, That grateful for these great results OF
wise aud patriotic cou sels we are willing to suppress
oil complaint that has not been accomplished and
that great the Of the restoration Of the cur
rency il yet postponed" &c. .ra5a..
SUCH ought 10 be the feeling and sentiment pervad-
Jog the whole Wing party, and when men begin to
thnk cooy and dspassionaely on the subject, to re-
feet the folly and destructive consequences of di-
vision and schsm, of the Prorety and reasonabeness
of allowing the Executive be guided by the dictates
of his own conscience and Judgment Of the impolicy
and cruelty of pressing this matter SO urgently upon
him; they will come TO the conclusion that Is the
part Of wisdom and Of virtue TO yield TO state OF
things which cannot now he reversed banged, and
which has perhaps, been brought about by the inju-
dlcious course If their own friends themselves. Let
the nation rest satisfied that the ardent patriotism
sound judgment, and high moral feeling of President
Tyler, will lead him do what he conceives to be
rgh, in the eyes of God and man, and that BY rally.
ing around him, and sustaining the administration Of
their own choice the Wings will be acting in confor-
NIFTY to the plain dctats ct sound sense policy, and
patriotism. Mr.. Tyler has attained the summit
of his ambition. He has nothing to hope r in
this life but the glory and prosperity of his country
All that ght have induced him to swerve from the
line of recttude in attaining the pinnacle of honor he
has reached, has ceased to operate and he now lives
for history. His otves cannot be otherwise than
pure and patriotic, and what he does or recommends
must be according to his judgment intended for the
benefit, the happiness and slory Of his country. Let
the Wings then be again united let there be a
