there were considerations olhez taar per-

Carolina.
II was vel known 10 his friends, that
he had never sought ossice. lhal be had 10

The eVea:s Of the past year, continued
Mr.. b. must have excited the asionish-
meat Of every obseTan: man. Il SEEM
el to him only as yesterday, when this
grove was filed with thousands Of de-
terEinei Wings. collected from every
part Of tbs sta.e--bFoughi together BY no
base or mercensry motives, bat BY the
so.ema coEEict;cn. tia. the fate o. he
whole country was involved in ihe issue

fired BY he sane spirit o. liberty, that i'm
PEELED our Revolutionary foreflihers, and
like item, fel:. that tie success OF their
efforts was necessary q the welfare and
happiness Of heir posieriiy. They did
succeed. Day after day, the cheering It'd
ings came in. hat state upon state had
declared Cor iic Wig cause. AT length,
the voice Of the whole American People
was collected, and HARRISON. the Patriot.
Sage, Statesman, Soldier. and best Of FL,
Christian, was called to direct the nation.
To his voice, said Mr.. Is. l yielded, and
became member os his CABINET. And
when sir, | saw and knew that noble old
man, and thoss whom he had called about
him-wiieE | heard him IN The midst Of
thousands OF his eornirymen take that so
lemn oas.. which bound him 10 redeem the
pledge then giSeE Of faithful devotion to
his country, felt deep assurance that
misrule vas at ar enl-ihat the one-man
power was rcpudisted from our system,
and the naiioE secure Of true represent
taliye government
Bat fearful change has come over the
land. There is Foice heard IS Of mourn
ing. nd feeling OF d.strust seems 10 per-
yads every part Of The county. Why is
this! Arr Wing principles less valuable
nov, than they were twelve months ago!
Are Loco Eoco doctrines less fraught with
destructive, aEli-social and an,i-religious
qualities. tha7 they then were! Are the
Wings more ready low, Than then, to en-
brace them! Noae Si,l answer these
questions in tie affirmative. No, though
there are many good. wise and excellent
men in the ranks o. GU. opponents, the
tendency Of lhcis party principles are still
Asorganizing ar1 destructive, and the
Wings Is much as ever reject and dread
them. Ind yet, look .; the present as
pect OF tling-. or seven states OF the
Union, in which elections have recently
taken place, and where, last Fall, the
Wing majority was told BY thousands,
five exhibit Loco Foco triumphs. Why
is this, il the Wing strength be nc, dimi-
nished! In my opinion, this results 10 |
be attributed 10 the same causes which |
Jed to The disruption Of the late Cabinet.
And what are they! The Wings have
raised up man to the Executive chair.
