FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
TO THE WING PARTY.

The evidence recently furnished IN Maine, MARY
laid Georgia, and other parts OF the county, oi 'ne
apathy and nertness existing IN your ranks deepy
to be regretted. The victory which you achieved al
a struggle of twelve long years, should not DE wan
tony abandoned. II cost too great an expenditure OF
time labor talent and eloquence, to be thus inexcu
SADLY thrown away. u every thing we nave been
contendng for has not been accomplished, II does mol
follow that we should abate our exeitions, anu, WIN
our folded, supiney suher our eneInits TO 'ri
umph u.s. and snatch away the prize OF tue go-
nous victory have gained. am aware OF the
causes which have produced the lanenable and repre-
hensble apathy existing, for II cannot be that
the immense ma oriy which brought the Wings into
power has melted down to an insignificant minority.
II must sii exist, and will yet, | trust come forth
again ia its former rsstiess power; but TINS apathy,
which is now MANIFESTED Is decidedly wrong ana
contrary to the obvious dictates OF sound reason II
would certainly be very absurd in man, IN private
life to throw away estate OF 2OO acres OF land be-
cause he disappointed In getting the additional
which he had expected to obtain, OF TO quar-
rel and become hostile his father because he could
not get every thing he desired The principal cause
Of tne discomfort prevailing among the party Is the
failure Of the fiscal agence, proposed during Tue late
extra session OF Cong ess but this surely Is not mat
ter which should ITSELF lead To the Abandonment Of
all else we have been contendlng Tor, ana nave &C
,ually effected. The language held and the rent-
entertained by lilends IN different parts VI

ment of the public repeRue nih the regulation " the
exchanges IF The country. Those WHO differ IN this
matter VI detail have enjoyed our confidence.
May we not indulge 50 small difference among
those who have united in every thing else Are We
intoerant that every man must be brought up to
party standard, or else be denounced as traitor
Are look at the single point on which We disa-
gree, and magnify the difference until II becomes a
OF discord and observance or shall we turn
our eyes 10 the glorious results which have already
been accomplished, and draw from them encourage
,Dent to a close and enduring union
ave must all regret that the President could not
agree with the two Houses OF Congress; he assures
that he regretted 1t himself and we have no Iea-
TO doubt the sincerity of that declaration Ne-
sp to Chief Magistrate IL among the first duties
OF American clzen; and it has ever been lead
ing principle OF party to lncucate obedience 10
the laws, and Difference TO public authority.
Let US, therefore, not Judge harshy OF The motives
Of the President His position is ing and difficult,
and If hls views and opinions shall finally be found
not TO hamonize with the general sentiment OF those
who elected him, there will be enough of calamity In
aresuit without Fastening it by premature and bitter
denunciation.
But the question recurs, what shall be done Shall
we adopt the language Of recrmnation and rePfoach
towards our pubic servants, because they have had
the misfortune to disagree on point about which the
whole country is dIvided2 Shall we abandon oui-
selves TO the unworthy impulses of excitement and
passion and dash from all the glorious fruits OF our
militant success because we are temp rarily dsap
pointed in single object Would this be worthy of
the ever memorable struggle of the past year? Have
we no recolleclions of the past2 Have we 80 soon
forgotten our common toils-oui untirng laboIs our
anxious hopes-and our teIvent gratitude, when the
hour of success arrived Shall we, who have wea-
the ed the ierces political storm that has swept
over our country, and lately conducted the ship Of
state into Tranquil waters permit dscord and dsunon
effect what the rage of the political elements could
not accomplish Why should we do 500 We yet
have hg President, Wing Senate, large ma
jorty in the House of Representatives and what Is
better than all, Wing People
Let US then stand by each other-by our cause-by
country. Let no difference Of opinion about men,
of the conduct OF men, divide us. As Wings we at
tanned the most glorious political victory accom-
plished-as Wings, let it for The benefit OF our
common country. Let us adhere closely To our or
ganization; keep the Wing banner in the breeze and
discard all counsels which sanction division or nelo
combinations. Under the name OF Wing, We Ieyou-
tionlzed the country. Under that name, and that
alone, let us ever be known. DESCRIBING all minor
differences, let us extend the hand OF confidence and
fellow ship to all who have the sane Objects In view,
and render our party as distinguished Tor lis Justice
and tolerance, II is for the noble end at which 1t
aims.
And, finally, Wines OF CoNNEcricuT, let US be
true To ourselves and not abandon principles and
forsake each olher though disappointed in the
conduct of pubic functonarIes. Men are as no
thing in compatl,on with our country and her noble
nstituiions-thesc, and these alone are worthy OF tie
best efforts OF freeu Let stand around them
with grappled hands and permit mel her ir ends nor
foes to their beauty destroy their usefulness
